In today's competitive world, what responsible parents would not want to give their children the best possible start in life? For this reason, many parents want their children, often as young as ten months old,
Trang 9to become familiar with computers They seem to think that if their children grow up with computers, they will be better equipped to face the challenges of the future
No one has proved that computers make children more creative or more intelligent The truth may even be the opposite Educational psychologists claim that too much exposure to computers, especially for the very young, may negatively affect normal brain development Children gain valuable experience of the world from their interaction with physical objects Ten-month-old babies may benefit more from bumping their heads or putting various objects in their mouths than they will from staring at eye-catching cartoons A four-year-old child can improve hand-eye coordination and understand cause and effect better by experimenting with a crayon than by moving a cursor around a computer screen So, as educational psychologists suggest, instead of government funding going to more and more computer classes, it might
be better to devote resources to music and art programs
It is ludicrous to think that children will fall behind if they are not exposed to computers from an early age Time is too precious to spend with a "mouse" Now is the time when they should be out there learning to ride a bike There will be time later on for them to start banging away at keyboards

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
Culture is a word in common use with complex meanings, and is derived, like the term broadcasting, from the treatment and care of the soil and of what grows on it It is directly related to cultivation and the adjectives cultural and cultured are part of the same verbal complex A person of culture has identifiable attributes, among them a knowledge of and interest in the arts, literature, and music Yet the word culture does not refer solely to such knowledge and interest nor, indeed, to education At least from the 19th century onwards, under the influence of anthropologists and sociologists, the word culture has come to be used generally both in the singular and the plural (cultures) to refer to a whole way of life of people, including their customs, laws, conventions, and values
Distinctions have consequently been drawn between primitive and advanced culture and cultures, between elite and popular culture, between popular and mass culture, and most recently between national and global cultures Distinctions have been drawn too between culture and civilization; the latter is a word derived not, like culture or agriculture, from the soil, but from the city The two words are sometimes treated as synonymous Yet this is misleading While civilization and barbarism are pitted against each other in what seems to be a perpetual behavioral pattern, the use of the word culture has been strongly influenced by 6 conceptions of evolution in the 19th century and of development in the 20th century Cultures evolve or develop They are not static They have twists and turns Styles change So do fashions There are cultural processes What, for example, the word cultured means has changed substantially since the study of classical (that is, Greek and Roman) literature, philosophy, and history ceased in the 20th century to be central to school and university education No single alternative focus emerged, although with computers has come electronic culture, affecting kinds of study, and most recently digital culture As cultures express themselves in new forms not everything gets better or more civilized
The multiplicity of meanings attached to the word made and will make it difficult to define There is
no single, unproblematic definition, although many attempts have been made to establish one The only non- problematic definitions go back to agricultural meaning (for example, cereal culture or strawberry
Trang 11culture) and medical meaning (for example, bacterial culture or penicillin culture) Since in anthropology and sociology we also acknowledge culture clashes, culture shock, and counter-culture, the range of reference is extremely wide
Câu 23 (VD): It can be inferred from the passage that since the 20th century
A all schools and universities have taught classical literature, philosophy, and history
B classical literature, philosophy, and history have been considered as core subjects
C classical literature, philosophy, and history have not been taught as core subjects

The sculptural legacy that the new United States inherited from its colonial predecessors was far from
a rich one, and in fact, in 1776 sculpture as an art form was still in the hand of artisans and craftspeople Stone carvers engraved their motifs of skulls and crossbones and other religious icons of death into the gray slabs that we still see standing today in old burial grounds Some skilled craftspeople made intricately carved wooden ornamentations for furniture or architectural decorations, while others carved wooden shop
signs and ships' figureheads Although they often achieved expression and formal excellence in their
generally primitive style, they remained artisans skilled in the craft of carving and constituted a group distinct from what we normally think of as "sculptors" in today's use of the word
On the rare occasion when a fine piece of sculpture was desired, Americans turned to foreign sculptors, as in the 1770's when the cities of New York and Charleston, South Carolina, commissioned the
Englishman Joseph Wilton to make marble statues of William Pitt Wilton also made a lead equestrian image of King George III that was created in New York in 1770 and torn down by zealous patriots six years later A few marble memorials with carved busts, urns, or other decorations were produced in England and brought to the colonies to be set in the walls of churches - as in King's Chapel in Boston But sculpture as
a high art, practiced by artists who knew both the artistic theory of their Renaissance-Baroque-Rococo predecessors and the various technical procedures of modeling, casting, and carving rich three-dimensional forms, was not known among Americans in 1776 Indeed, for many years thereafter, the United States had two groups from which to choose - either the local craftspeople or the imported talent of European sculptors

Tsunami is a Japanese word that means harbor wave and is used as the scientific term for seismic sea wave generated by an undersea earthquake or possibly an undersea landslide or volcanic eruption When
the ocean floor is tilted or offset during an earthquake, a set of waves is created similar to the concentric
waves generated by an object dropped into the water Most tsunamis originate along the Ring of Fire, a zone of volcanoes and seismic activity, 32,500 km long that encircles the Pacific Ocean Since 1819, about
40 tsunamis have struck the Hawaiian Islands
tsunami can have wavelengths, or widths, of 100 to 200 km, and may travel hundreds of kilometers across the deep ocean, reaching speeds of about 725 to 800 kilometres an hour Upon entering shallow coastal waters, the wave, which have been only about half a metre high out at sea, suddenly grows rapidly When the wave reaches the shore, it may be 15 m high or more Tsunamis have tremendous energy because
of the great volume of water affected They are capable of obliterating coastal settlements
Tsunamis should not be confused with storm surges, which are domes of water that rise underearth hurricanes or cyclones and cause extensive coastal flooding when the storms reach land Storm surges are particularly devastating if they occur at high tide A cyclone and accompanying storm surges killed an estimated 500,000 people in Bangladesh in 1970 The tsunami which struck south and southeast Asia in late 2004 killed over 200 thousand people
