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
Certain birds are, more often than not, considered bad luck, or even a sign of impendingdeath For example, all over the world, both crows and ravens have some connection to war,and death In early times, crows and ravens were thought to accompany the gods of war, or besigns of the gods’ approaching arrival This idea later changed Crows in particular werethought to be harbingers of ill fortune or, in some cases, guides to the afterlife Woe be it tothe person who saw a single crow or raven flying overhead, for this was most certainly a
portent of death in the near future.
Interestingly, though potentially bad luck for people individually, the raven is considered to
be good luck for the crown of England So much so, in fact, that a “raven master” is, eventoday, an actual government position in London He takes care of the ravens there and alsoclips their wings, ensuring that these birds can never fly far from the seat of the Britishgovernment This way, the kingdom will never fall to ill fortune
Another bird that is thought to play a part in forecasting the fortunes of people is theswallow Depending on how and when it is seen, the swallow can be a harbinger of eithergood or ill fortune Perhaps inspired by the swallow’s red-brown breast, Christian peopleinitially related the swallow to the death of Jesus Christ Thus, people who saw a swallow flythrough their house considered it a portent of death Later, however, farmers began toconsider swallows signs of good fortune Any barn that has swallows living in it is sure to beblessed in the following year Farmers also have to beware of killing a swallow; that would
be certain to end any good luck they might have had
Trang 6Though many people think these superstitions are old wives’ tales, there is actually some
evidence to support them For example, crows and ravens, being scavengers, appear at theaftermath of battles Thus, large numbers of crows and ravens could be good indications ofwar in an area As well, swallows feed on insects that can cause infections in cattle Thus, afarmer who has many swallows in his barn may actually have healthier animals on his farm.Therefore, the next time you feel inclined to laugh at an old wives’ tale, maybe you had betterfind out if there is any truth to it first!

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 from 43 to 50
A newborn baby can see, hear and feel By the age of five, a child can talk, ride a bike andinvent imaginary friends How does this development happen? We don’t understand the waylanguage, 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 ababy’s brain develops
A study in 2010 showed that the experiences a child has in their first few years affect thedevelopment of the brain It showed that children who received more attention often hadhigher IQs The brain of a newborn baby has nearly a hundred billion neurons This is thesame number as an adult’s brain As they grow, a baby receives information through thesenses of sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch This information creates connections betweendifferent 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 differentsounds 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 andmeaning Compare two sentences with the same words in a different order: ‘John killed thebear’ is very different from ‘The bear killed John.’ So babies are starting to learn grammaticalrules from the beginning of life
Researchers also know that babies need to hear a lot of language in order to understandgrammar rules But there is a big difference between listening to television, audio books orthe internet, and interacting with people One study compared two groups of nine-month-oldAmerican 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 groupcould recognise different sounds, however the first group learned nothing.The scientist,Patricia Kuhl, said this result was very surprising It suggests that social experience isessential to successful brain development in babies
