REASONS TO NOT HIT YOUR KIDS
The practice of hitting children teaches them to become hitters themselves Extensive research data
is now available to support the direct correlation 26 corporal punishment in childhood and violent behavior in the teenage and adult years Virtually, all of the most dangerous criminals 27 regularly threatened and punished in childhood Punishment gives the message that "might make right," that it is okay to hurt someone smaller and less powerful than you are The child then feels it is appropriate to mistreat younger or smaller children, and when he becomes an adult, feels little 28 for those less fortunate or powerful than he is, and fears those who are more so Thus
Trang 4Punishment gives the message that hitting is an appropriate way to express one's feelings and to solve problems If the child rarely sees the parents handle anger and solve problems in a creative and positive way, he can never learn how 30 that himself Thus inadequate parenting continues into the next generation

TEXAS
A Texas middle school is under fire after students say they have been banned from speaking Spanish in class The students say their principal announced the rule last month over the intercom Inside the walls of Hemptead Middle School, a language controversy is brewing “There's one teacher that said, “If you speak Spanish in my class, I'm gonna write you up,” 8th grader Tiffani Resurez says Four students say their principal's announcement - banning them from speaking Spanish in class - has given teachers and fellow students a hall pass to discriminate “She was like,
„No speaking Spanish.' She told me that I was like, “That's my first language.’ She said, „Well, you can get out," fellow classmate Yedhany Gallegos says A letter sent home by the superintendent says, "Neither the district nor any campus has any policy prohibiting the speaking
of Spanish." The four students feel that the statement from the superintendent has not been made entirely clear that their school "People don't want to speak it anymore and don't want to get caught speaking it because they're going to get into trouble," 6th grader Kiara Lozano says Parents,
like Cynthia Zamora, believe the school is not getting to the root of the problem She wants to
know why the "No Spanish" announcement was ever made in the first place "I was very surprised that she would even go to such lengths," Zamora says Many students at the school grew up
speaking Spanish at home, and they say it often comes as second nature when they're talking to
each other at school “I'm not scared I'm gonna keep speaking language That's my first language, and I'm gonna keep doing it," Lozano said The principal has been placed on paid administrative leave while the district investigates A spokeswoman for Hempstead Inder School District has released a statement saying, in part, “The district is committed to efficiently and effectively resolving this matter with as little disruption to our students and their learning environment as possible."

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
A newborn baby can see, hear and feel By the age of five, a child can talk, ride a bike and invent imaginary friends How does this development happen? We don't understand the way language, thinking and planning develop very well Now scientists are using new technology to ‘see’ into children's brains And they are discovering new information about the way a baby's brain develops
A study in 2010 showed that the experiences a child has in their first few years affect the development of the brain It showed that children who received more attention often had higher IQs The brain of a newborn baby has nearly a hundred billion neurons This is the same number
as an adult's brain As they grow, a baby receives information through the senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch This information creates connections between different parts of the brain
At the age of three, there are a hundred trillion connections
One experiment looked at images of babies' brains while they were listening to different sounds The sounds were in different sequences For example, one sequence was mu-ba-ba This is the pattern 'A-B-B' Another sequence was mu-ba-ge This is the pattern 'A-B-C' The images showed that the part of the brain responsible for speech was more active during A-B-B' patterns This shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns This experiment is interesting because sequences of words are important to grammar and meaning Compare two sentences with the same words in a different order: John killed the bear' is very different from 'The bear killed John.' So babies are starting to learn grammatical rules from the beginning of life
Researchers also know that babies need to hear a lot of language in order to understand grammar rules But there is a big difference between listening to television, audio books or the internet, and interacting with people One study compared two groups of nine-month-old American babies One group watched videos of Mandarin Chinese sounds In the other group, people spoke the same sounds to the babies The test results showed that the second group could recognise different sounds, however the first group learned nothing The scientist, Patricia Kuhl, said this result was
Trang 6very surprising It suggests that social experience is essential to successful brain development in babies
(Adapted from "Select Readings - Upper Intermediate" by Linda Lee and Erik Gundersen)
Question 36 It can be inferred from the passage that
A A pattern like 'A-B-C' is easier to understand
B Children can actually learn grammatical rules in their very early age
C It's not known which area of a baby's brain processes speech
D Babies' brains cannot recognise different sound patterns
Question 37 According to the first paragraph _
A technology has been used in children's brain surgery
B some five-year-olds have imaginary friends
C most aspects of child development are understood quite well
D children use technology more these days
Question 38 Which statement is supported by the second paragraph?
A Early experiences have an effect on brain development
B Adult brains have more neurons than new-born babies' brains
C Babies and three-year-olds have the same number of neurons
D The connections between parts of the brain stay the same as a child grows up
Question 39 What is the main conclusion from the study described in the last paragraph?
A Mandarin Chinese is not too hard to be learned for American babies
B Social interaction has a big influence on the brain
C Watching videos is a good way to develop a child's brain
D Babies can understand television at the age of nine months
Question 40 The purpose of the article is to
A describe how a new-born baby's brain works
B compare the brains of adults and children

We have been making cheese for millennia, but researchers are only now getting to grips with how bacteria, fungi and viruses combine to create its characteristic flavours and textures When it comes
to finding new and exotic species, there is no need to travel to the rainforest or trawl the deep ocean
Just open your fridge The cheeses in there contain a wealth of surprises, if you look closely
enough
Although cheese production began at least 7000 years ago, we are only just beginning to understand what is really going on in this complex ecosystem that we delight in devouring “Cheese is a fascinating ecological niche,” says Paul Cotter, a microbiologist at food and agricultural research body Teagasc who is based in Cork, Ireland New work on the cheese microbiome is revealing a riot behind the rind, with complex interactions between a diverse array of bacteria, moulds and
yeasts helping to create characteristic flavours and textures “There are a lot of microbes that
we’re eating every day on some of our favourite cheeses, and we know incredibly little about what they’re doing to drive the flavour of those cheeses,” says Benjamin Wolfe at Tufts University in
Trang 12Massachusetts Understanding this better will not only help control the flavours of existing cheeses, but also help us develop tasty new ones
Here’s a tour of some of the surprises hidden in your cheeseboard Cheeses are dominated by bacteria that digest the main sugar in milk, lactose, and turn it into an acid But they are also home
to a menagerie of other microbes that develop as cheese matures, and exactly how many organisms cheese contains is only just being revealed Studies using gene-sequencing technologies keep finding new bacteria, some previously unknown to science
(Https://www.newscientist.com)
Câu 34: According to the passage, all of the following are true, EXCEPT _
A human beings started to make cheese a long time ago
B there are some species existing in cheese that scientists don’t have knowledge about
C environment inside cheese is comparatively simple and easy to get to know
D bacteria play an important part in creating special flavours of cheese

A The secret life of cheese
B New ideas in manufacturing cheese
C Ways to create new kinds of cheese
D Benefits of cheese

B find new types of bacteria
C master the number of organisms cheese contains
D produce delicious new kinds

When corals are mentioned, many people think of rock-life forms in the sea filled with colorful fish
But corals are made up of hundreds of thousands of small organisms which live and feed like any other sea life For the past five years, researchers in Hawaii and Australia have been engineering
corals inside a lab to see if they could better resist the effects of climate change They say it is now
time to see how their creations perform in nature The scientists say climate change linked to human
causes has led to warming oceans that can harm sea life They say if the more heat-resistant corals
they developed do well in the ocean, the method can be used to help save suffering and dying reefs
Trang 13The team tested three methods for making corals that would be strong and healthy in nature One was the method of selective breeding This method involves scientists choosing parents with
desirable characteristics for reproductive purposes A second method subjected the corals to
increasing temperatures to condition them to be able to survive in warm ocean environments The third involved making changes to the algae that provide corals with necessary nutrients The leader
of the project, University of Hawaii researcher Kira Hughes, said all the methods proved successful
in the lab She told The Associated Press that some scientists might worry that such methods go against the natural processes of nature But with the planet continuing to warm more and more, she does not see any better options
“We have to intervene in order to make a change for coral reefs to survive into the future,” Hughes said When ocean temperatures rise, corals release algae that supplies nutrients and gives them color This causes them to turn white, a process called bleaching When this happens, corals can quickly become sick and die But for years, scientists have been observing corals that have survived bleaching, even when others have died on the same reef They are now centering on those healthy survivors and hoping to further increase their resistance to heat Those corals were used as the parents for the newly created kinds
(Https://learningenglish.voanews.com)
Câu 39: According to paragraph 2, _
A three methods, although contrasting, are tested effective in reality
B the first method is concerned with selecting advantageous breeds
C the scientific community reach a consensus about making these new types of corals
D Kira Hughes is optimist about finding a quite number of choices to solve the loss of corals
Câu 40: The word subjected in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _
A put through B break through C see through D pull through
Câu 41: The word resist in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to

Have you ever entered a tropical rainforest? It's a special, dark place completely different from anywhere else A rainforest is a place where the trees grow very tall Millions of kinds of animals,
insects, and plants live in the rainforest It is hot and humid in a rainforest It rains a lot in the
rainforest, but sometimes you don't know it's raining The trees grow so closely together that rain doesn't always reach the ground
Rainforests make up only a small part of the Earth's surface, about six percent They are found in tropical parts of the world The largest rainforest in the world is the Amazon in South America The Amazon covers 1.2 billion acres, or almost five million square kilometers The second largest rainforest is in Western Africa
There are also rainforests in Central America, Southeast Asia, Northeastern Australia, and the Pacific Islands Rainforests provide us with many things In fact, the Amazon Rainforest is called the "lungs of our planet" because it produces twenty percent of the world's oxygen One fifth of the world's fresh water is also found in the Amazon Rainforest Furthermore, one half of the world's species of animals, plants, and insects live in the Earth's rainforests Eighty percent of the food we cat first grew in the rainforest For example, pineapples, bananas, tomatoes, corn, potatoes, chocolate, coffee, and sugar all came from rainforests Twenty-five percent of the drugs we take
when we are sick are made of plants that grow only in rainforests Some of these drugs are even
used to fight and cure cancer With all the good things we get from rainforests, it's surprising to find that we are destroying our rainforests In fact, 1.5 acres, or 6,000 square meters, of rainforest disappear every second The forests are being cut down to make fields for cows, to harvest the
plants, and to clear land for farms Along with losing countless valuable species, the destruction
of rainforests creates many problems worldwide Destruction of rainforests results in more pollution, less rain, and less oxygen for the world
