VII Read the following passage and choose the correct answers.

Research has indicated that dyslexia has biological origin, and most investigators nowsuspect that dyslexic children read poorly as a result of highly specific language problem,

sometimes called "phonological unawareness" Dyslexic children cannot easily learn to

read because they have trouble associating printed letters with the sounds of speech A

similar problem occurs in congenitally deaf people who have mastered the linguistic

complexities and subtleties of sign language but have trouble learning to read

Evidence also exists suggesting that the root cause for much dyslexia is a problem withprocessing very rapidly changing sensory stimuli For example, studies have shown that

dyslexic children have trouble making accurate distinctions between similar auditory signals.

They often cannot hear the difference between speech sounds such as "pall", "dah" , and

"bah" Recently, differences have been noted between the visual pathways of dyslexics andthose of nondyslexics that suggest a comparable problem with fast-changing visual stimuli.Researchers have also found several other neuroanatomical abnormalities in the temporallobe and in other areas of the brain All of these studies are extremely valuable in helping

researchers understand the mechanisms underlying reading problems so that dyslexic

children can be accurately identified and more efficiently helped

81 What is the main purpose of the passage?

A To change current ideas about dyslexia B To explore the causes of dyslexia

C To distinguish between dyslexia and congenital deafness D To cite examples ofdyslexic behaviors

VII Read the following passage and choose the correct answers.

Most people can remember a phone number for up to thirty seconds When this short

amount of time elapses, however, the numbers are erased from the memory How did the

information get there in the first place? Information that makes its way to the short term memory (STM) does so via the sensory storage area The brain has a filter which only allowsstimuli that is of immediate interest to pass on to the STM, also known as the working

memory

There is much debate about the capacity and duration of the short term memory The most accepted theory comes from George A Miller, a cognitive psychologist who suggested that humans can remember approximately seven chunks of information A chunk is defined

as a meaningful unit of information, such as a word or name rather than just a letter or

number Modern theorists suggest that one can increase the capacity of the short term

memory by chunking or classifying similar information together By organizing information,one can optimize the STM, and improve the chances of a memory being passed on to long term storage

When making a Conscious effort to memorize something, such as information for an exam, many people engage in "rote rehearsal" By repeating something over and over again,

we are able to keep a memory alive Unfortunately, this type of memory maintenance only

Trang 29

succeeds if there are no interruptions As soon as a person stops rehearsing the information,

it has the tendency to disappear When a pen and paper are not handy, you might attempt to remember a phone number by repeating it aloud If the doorbell rings or the dog barks to come in before you get the opportunity to make your phone call, you will forget the number instantly Therefore, rote rehearsal is not an efficient way to pass information from the short

term to long term memory A better way is to practice "elaborate rehearsal" This involves

assigning semantic meaning to a piece of information so that it can be filed along with other pre-existing long term memories

Encoding information semantically also makes it more retrievable Retrieving

information can be done by recognition or recall Humans can recall memories that are stored in the long term memory and used often However, if a memory seems to be forgotten,

it may eventually be retrieved by prompting The more cues a person is given (such as

pictures), the more likely a memory can be retrieved This is why multiple choice tests are often used for subjects that require a lot of memorization

A George A Miller B Cognitive theorists C STM capacity

D Modern debates

D By drawing it

C ineffective in the long run D an unnecessary interruption

The main purpose of a resume is to convince an employer to grant you an interview There

Trang 36

are two kinds One is the familiar 'tombstone' that lists where you went to school and where you've worked in chronological order The other is what I call the 'functional' resume – descriptive, fun to read, unique to you and much more likely to land you an interview It's handy to have a 'tombstone' for certain occasions But prospective employers throw away most of those unrequited 'tombstone' lists, preferring to interview the quick rather than the dead What follows are tips on writing a functional resume that will get read – a résumé that will make you come alive and look interesting to employers.

Put yourself first: In order to write a resume others will read with enthusiasm, you have to

feel important about yourself

Tell what you can do, not who you are: Practice translating your personality traits,

character, accomplishments and achievements into skill areas in the world of work

Toot your own horn! Many people clutch when asked to think about their abilities Some

think they have none at all! But everyone does, and one of yours may just be the ticket, an employer would be glad to punch of only you show it

Be specific, be concrete, and be brief !

Turn bad news into good: Everybody has had disappointments in work If you have to

mention yours, look for the positive side

Never apologize: If you're returning to the work force after fifteen years as a parent, simply

write a short paragraph in place of a chronology of experience Don't apologize for

working at being a mother; it's the hardest job of all If you have no special training or highereducation, just don't mention education

How to psych yourself up: The secret is to think about the self before you start writing about

yourself Take four or five hours off, not necessarily consecutive, and simply write down every accomplishment in your life that made you feel effective Study the list and try to spot patterns As you study your list you will come closer to the meaning: identifying your

marketable skills Once you discover patterns give names to your cluster of

accomplishments It may take four drafts or more, and several weeks, before you are ready toshow it to a stranger for a reaction When you are satisfied, print it

96 We list the schools we attended and the offices where we worked in _
