compass Lines drawn to connect the opposite points of the compass, from north tosouth and from east to west, intersected This World to divide
it into four wedge - shaped segments Thus a symbolic representation of the humanworld was a cross within a circle, the cross representing the intersecting lines and the circle the shape of This World

Cherokee doctrine, east was associated with the color red because it was the
direction of the Sun, the greatest deity of all Red was also the color of fire,
believed to be directly connected with the Sun, with blood, and therefore with life Finally, red was the color of success The west was the Moon segment; it provided
no warmth and was not life - giving as the Sun was So its color was black North was the direction of cold, and so its color was blue sometimes purple, and it
represented trouble and defeat South was the direction of warmth, its color, white, was associated with peace and happiness
The southeastern Native Americans' universe was one in which opposites were constantly at war with each other, red against black, blue against white This Worldhovered somewhere between the perfect order and predictability of the Upper World and the total disorder and instability of the Lower World The goal was to find some kind of halfway path, or balance, between those other worlds

Trang 8Read 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
Music can bring us to tears or to our feet, drive us into battle or lull us to sleep Music is indeed remarkable in its power over all humankind, and perhaps forthat very reason, no human culture on earth has ever lived without it From
discoveries made in France and Slovenia even Neanderthal man, as long as 53,000 years ago, had developed surprisingly sophisticated, sweet-sounding flutes carved from animal bones It is perhaps then, no accident that music should strike such a chord with the limbic system – an ancient part of our brain, evolutionarily
speaking, and one that we share with much of the animal kingdom Some
researchers even propose that music came into this world long before the human race ever did For example, the fact that whale and human music have so much in common even though our evolutionary paths have not intersected for nearly 60 million years suggests that music may predate humans They assert that rather thanbeing the inventors of music, we are latecomers to the musical scene
Humpback whale composers employ many of the same tricks that human songwriters do In addition to using similar rhythms, humpbacks keep musical phrases to a few seconds, creating themes out of several phrases before singing the next one Whale songs in general are no longer than symphony movements,
perhaps because they have a similar attention span Even though they can sing over
a range of seven octaves, the whales typically sing in key, spreading adjacent notes
no farther apart than a scale They mix percussive and pure tones in pretty much the same ratios as human composers – and follow their ABA form, in which a theme is presented, elaborated on and then revisited in a slightly modified form Perhaps most amazing, humpback whale songs include repeating refrains that rhyme It has been suggested that whales might use rhymes for exactly the same reasons that we do: as devices to help them remember Whale songs can also be rather catchy When a few humpbacks from the Indian Ocean strayed into the Pacific, some of the whales they met there quickly changed their tunes – singing the new whales’ songs within three short years Some scientists are even tempted
to speculate that a universal music awaits discovery

Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child's upbringing can give it the ability to do outstandingly
well Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it is simply something a person is born with
Others, however, argue that the potential for great achievement can be developed The truth lies somewhere
between these two extremes
It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase a child's ability to do
well However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing andopportunities As one
psychologist says, "To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel."
Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets ofidentical twins that were
separated shortly after birth and brought up by different parents They found that achievement was based on
intelligence, and later influenced by the child's environment
Trang 19One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted One of the twins received a normal upbringing, and
performed well The other twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportive parents and given every possible
opportunity to develop its abilities That twin, though starting out with the same degree of intelligence as the other,
performed even better
This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability The more
favorable the environment, the more a
child's intelligence and ability are developed However, there is no link between intelligence and the socioeconomic
level of a child's family In other words, it does not matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect
intelligence Gifted people cannot be created by supportive parents, but they can bedeveloped by them One
professor of music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than ordinary
performers often because their parents had recognized their ability These
musicians then needed at least ten years'
hard work and training in order to reach the level they were capable of attaining
People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice:
• Marry an intelligent person
• Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the
parents
• Start a child's education early but avoid pushing the child too hard
• Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instruments is essential for a child who wants to
become an outstanding musician

A ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement
B intelligence and development are irrelevant to ability

A each twin has the same environment as his/her twin
B they are born into the same family, hence the same upbringing
C they have the same economic background and hence the same opportunities
D they have the same genetic background, usually with similar intelligence
Question 65: How were great musicians different from ordinary musicians in their development?
A Their ability was realized at an early stage and then nurtured
B They practice playing their instruments for many years
C They concentrated on music to the exclusion of other areas
D They were exceptionally intelligent and artistic

Ranked as the number one beverage consumed worldwide, tea takes the lead over coffee in both popularity and production with more than 5 million metric tons of tea produced annually Although much of this tea is consumed in Asian, European and African countries, the United States drinks its fair share According to
estimates by the Tea Council of the United States, tea is enjoyed by no less than half of the U.S population on any given day Black tea or green tea - iced, spiced,
or instant - tea drinking has spurred a billion-dollar business with major tea
producers in Africa and South America and throughout Asia
Tea is made from the leaves of an evergreen plant, Camellia sinensis, which grows tall and lush in tropical regions On tea plantation, the plant is kept trimmed to approximately four feet high and as new buds called flush appear, they are pluckedoff by hand Even in today’s world of modern agricultural machinery, hand
harvesting continues to be the preferred method Ideally, only the top two leaves and a bud should be picked This new growth produces the highest quality tea.After being harvested, tea leaves are laid out on long drying racks, called witheringracks, for 18 to 20 hours During this process, the tea softens and becomes limp Next, depending on the type of tea being produced, the leaves may be crushed or chopped to release flavor, and then fermented under controlled conditions of heat and humidity For green tea, the whole leaves are often steamed to retain their green color, and the fermentation process is skipped Producing black teas requires fermentation during which the tea leaves begin to darken After fermentation, blacktea is dried in vats to produce its rich brown or black color
