Trang 4IV READ THE PASSAGE AND CHOOSE THE BEST ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOW (1PTS)
Television’s contribution to family life in the United States has been an equivocal one For while it has, indeed, kept the members of the family from dispersing, it has not served to bring them together By dominating the time families spend together, it destroys the special quality that distinguishes one family from another, a quality that depends to a great extent on what a family does, what special rituals, games, recurrent jokes, familiar songs, and shared activities it accumulates
“Like the sorcerer of old,” writes Urie Bronfenbrenner, “the television set casts its magic spell, freezing
speech and action, turning the living into silent statues so long as the enchantment lasts The primary danger of the television screen lies not so much in the behavior it produces — although there is danger there — as in the behavior it prevents : the talks, games, the family festivities, and arguments through which much of the child’s learning takes place and through which character is formed Turning on the television set can turn off the process that transforms children into people.”
Of course, families today still do special things together at times : go camping in the summer, go to the zoo on
a nice Sunday, take various trips and expeditions But the ordinary daily life together is diminished — that sitting around at the dinner table, that spontaneous taking up of an activity, those little games invented by children on the spur of the moment when there is nothing else to do, the scribbling, the chatting, the quarreling,
all the things that form the fabric of a family, that define a childhood
Instead, the children have their regular schedule of television programs and bedtime, and the parents have their peaceful dinner together But surely the needs of adults are being better met than the needs of children, who are effectively shunted away and rendered untroublesome
If the family does not accumulate its backlog of shared experiences, shared everyday experiences that occur
and recur and change and develop, then it is not likely to survive as anything other than a caretaking institution.
1 Which of the following best represents the author’s argument in the passage?
A Television has negative effects on family life
B Television has advantages and disadvantages for children
C Television should be more educational
D Television teaches children to be violent
2 The word it in the passage refers to
A dominating B time C television D quality
3 Why is Urie Bronfenbrenner quoted in paragraph 2?
A To present a different point of view from that of the author
B To provide an example of a television program that is harmful
C To expand the author’s argument
D To discuss the positive aspects of television
4 The word freezing in the passage is closest in meaning to
A controlling B halting C dramatizing D encouraging
5 Urie Bronfenbrenner compares the television set to
A a statue B an educator C a family member D a magician
6 Which of the following would be an example of what the author means by a special thing that families do?
A Going on vacation in the summertime B Playing cards together in the evening
C Reading to the children at bedtime D Talking to each other
7 The thing that “form the fabric of a family” in paragraph 3 are
A special things B ordinary things
C television programs D children
8 The word it in the passage refers to
9 According to the author, what distinguishes one family from another?
A Doing ordinary things together B Watching television together
C Celebrating holidays together D Living together
Trang 510 It can be inferred from the passage that a caretaking institution is one in which care is given

SMILE POWER
The expression on your face can actually dramatically alter your feelings and perceptions, and it has been proved that (1) _ smiling or frowning can create corresponding emotional responses The idea was first put forward by a French physiologist, Israel Waynbaum, in 1906 He believed that different facial (2) affected the flow of blood to the brain, and that this could create positive or negative feelings A happy smile or irrepressible (3) _ increased the blood flow and contributed to joyful feelings However, sad, angry expressions decreased the flow of oxygen-carrying blood, and created a vicious circle of gloom and depression
