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 28 to 34.

When we meet people for the first time, we often make decisions about them based entirely on howthey look And of course, we too are being judged on our appearance Undoubtedly, it’s what’s inside that’simportant but sometimes we can send out the wrong signals and so get a negative reaction, simply bywearing inappropriate clothing

When selecting your clothes each day, it is therefore important to think about who you’re likely tomeet, where you are going to be spending most of your time and what tasks you are likely to perform

Clearly, on a practical level, some outfits will be more appropriate to different sorts of activity and this will

dictate your choice to an extent However, there’s no need to abandon your individual taste completely.After all, if you dress to please somebody else’s idea of what looks good, you may end up feelinguncomfortable and not quite yourself

Some colours bring your natural colouring to life and others can give you a washed-out appearance.

Try out new ones by all means, but remember that dressing in bright colours when you really like subtleneutral tones or vice versa will make you feel self-conscious and uncomfortable You know deep downwhere your own taste boundaries lie It may be fun to cross these sometimes, but do take care not to gotoo far all at once

Reappraising your image isn’t selfish because everyone who comes into contact with you will benefit.

You’ll look better and you’ll feel a better person all round And if in doubt, you only need to read ProfessorAlbert Mehrabian’s book Silent Messages, which showed that the impact we make on each other depends

55 percent on how we look and behave, 38 percent on how we speak, and only seven percent on what

we actually say

C what we read D what we actually say.

While watching sports on TV, the chances are children will see professional players cheating,having tantrums, fighting, or abusing officials In addition, it’s highly likely that children will be aware ofwell-known cases of sportspeople being caught using drugs to improve their performance The danger

of all this is that it could give children the idea that winning is all that counts and you should win at allcosts Good behavior and fair play aren’t the message that comes across Instead, it looks as if cheating

and bad behavior are reasonable ways of getting what you want This message is further bolstered by the

fact that some of these sportspeople acquire enormous fame and wealth, making it seem they are beinghandsomely rewarded either despite or because of their bad behavior

What can parents do about this? They can regard sport on television as an opportunity to discussattitudes and behavior with their children When watching sports together, if parents see a player swearing atthe referee, they can get the child’s opinion on that behavior and discuss whether a player’s skill is moreimportant than their behavior Ask what the child thinks the player’s contribution to the team is Point outthat no player can win a team game on their own, so it’s important for members to work well together.Another thing to focus on is what the commentators say Do they frown on bad behavior fromplayers, think it’s amusing or even consider it’s a good thing? What about the officials? If they let players getaway with a clear foul, parents can discuss with children whether this is right and what effect it has on thegame Look too at the reactions of coaches and managers Do they accept losing with good grace orscowl and show a bad attitude? Parents can use this to talk about attitudes to winning and losing and toremind children that both are part of sport

Everything

However, what children learn from watching sports is by no means all negative and parents should

make sure they accentuate the positives too They should emphasise to children the high reputation that well-behaved players have, not just with their teammates but also with spectators and the media They

can focus on the contribution made by such players during a game, discussing how valuable they are

in the team In the interviews after a game, point out to a child that the well-behaved sportspeople don’tgloat when they win or sulk when they lose And parents can stress how well these people conductthemselves in their personal lives and the good work they do for others when not playing In other words,parents should get their children to focus on the positive role models, rather than the antics of the badlybehaved but often more publicized players

(Adapter from “New English File – Advanced” by Will Maddox)

Question 35 Which of the following does the passage mainly discuss?

A.The importance of team spirit in sport

B.The influence of model sportspeople on children

C.Moral lessons for children from watching sports

D Different attitudes toward bad behavior in sport

Question 36 The word “bolstered” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to

Question 37 According to paragraph 1, misconduct exhibited by players may lead children to think that

A it is an acceptable way to win the game B it is necessary in almost any game.

sports?

A.Cheating is frowned upon by the majority of players.

B.A team with badly-behaved players will not win a game.

C.A player’s performance is of greater value than his behavior.

D Collaboration is fundamental to any team’s success.

Question 39 The word “accentuate” in paragraph 4 can be best replaced by

A highlight B embolden C consolidate D actualize.

Question 40 The word “They” in paragraph 4 refers to

A children B spectators C teammates D parents.

Question 41 Which of the following about sport is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A.Misconduct from sportspeople may go unpunished despite the presence of officials.

B.A well-behaved player enjoys a good reputation among his teammates, spectators and the media C.Reactions of coaches and managers when their teams lose a game may be of educational value.

D Many sportspeople help others so as to project good images of themselves.

Dẫn chứng (đoạn 1): When we meet people for

the first time, we often make decisions about them

based entirely on how they look … sometimes we

can send out the wrong signals and so get a

C.Kinds of tasks you perform: Lo•i công viòc b•n

D.People you meet: NhĂng ngþąi b•n gặp

Dẫn chứng (đoạn 2): When selecting your

clothes each day, it is therefore important to thinkabout who you’re likely to meet, where you aregoing to be spending most of your time and whattasks you are likely to perform: Khi lăa chọn trang phýc mỗi ngày, điîu quan trọng c․n cân nhc

The word “others” in paragraph 3 refers to :

D.Different attitudes toward bad behavior in sport:

Dẫn chứng (đoạn 2): What can parents do about

this? They can regard sport on television as an

opportunity to discuss attitudes and behavior with

their children: Cha mì có thð làm gì vî viòc này? Họ

có thð coi viòc xem thð thao trên TV là một cĄ hội

D.reinforced: cûng cố

Dẫn chứng: This message is further bolstered by

the fact that some of these sportspeople

acquire enormous fame and wealth, making it seem

they are being bad behavior: Thông điòp n„y đþĉc

by players may lead children to think that :

According to paragraph 2, what should parents

teach their children through watching sports?:

Theo đo•n 2, điîu cha mje nên d•y con mình thông

qua viòc xem thð thao là gì?

A. Cheating is frowned upon by the majority ofplayers: Gian ln b÷ ph†n đối bći h․u hït các vn động viên

B. A team with badly-behaved players will not win

a game: Một đội vĆi nhĂng ngþąi chĄi cþ xā x u ‥t

C.A player’s performance is of greated value thanhis behavior: Màn trình diñn cûa một ngþąi chĄi cù gi‟ tr÷ cao hĄn h„nh vi cþ xā cûa anh ta

D. Collaboration is fundamental to any team’s success: Hĉp tác vĆi nhau là nîn t†ng cûa

Dẫn chứng: Point out that no player can win a

team game on their own, so it’s important for members to work well together: Chõ ra rng không ngþąi chĄi n„o có thð chiïn thng chõ dăa vào sĀc mónh m„ điîu quan trọng là các thành viên ph†i

Which of the following about sport is NOT mentioned

in the passage?: Câu nào vî thð thao m„ không

A.Misconduct from sportspeople may go

unpunished despite the presence of officials:

H„nh vi cþ xā x u ‥t cûa ngþąi chĄi thð thao có thð

không b÷ ph•t mặc dù có să có mặt cûa ngþąi điîu

B.A well-behaved player enjoys a good reputation

among his teammates, spectators and the media:

Một ngþąi chĄi cþ xā đìp cù uy tôn đối vĆi đồng

đội, ngþąi xem và c† truyîn thông

C.Reactions of coaches and managers when their

teams lose a game may be of educational value:

D.Many sportspeople help others so as to

project good images of themselves: R t nhiîu ‥t

ngþąi chĄi giúp đĈ nhau đð phô ra nhĂng hình †nh tốt

cûa b†n thân

Dẫn chứng (đoạn 3): Another thing to focus on is

what the commentators says Do they frown on

bad behavior from players, think it’s amusing or

even consider it’s a good thing? What about the

officials? If they let players get away with a clear

foul, parents can discuss with children whether this

is right and what effect it has on the game Look

too at the reactions of

coaches and managers Do they accept losing

with good grace or scowl and show a bad

attitude?: Một điîu khác c․n chú ý là nhĂng gì bình

Dẫn chứng (đoạn 4): They should emphasise to

children the high reputation that well-behaved

players have, not just with their teammates but

also with spectators and the media: Họ nên nh n ‥t

Which of the following can be inferred from the

passage?: C u ‣n n„o sau đ y ‣n cù thð đþĉc suy ra

A. The media tend to turn the spotlight more

on sportspeople’s wrongdoings than on their

good deeds: Truyîn thông cù xu hþĆng nhm vào

nhĂng hành vi sai trái cûa ngþąi chĄi hĄn l„ nhĂng

viòc làm tốt cûa họ

B. The well-behaved players in a game invariably

display desirable conducts when not playing: NhĂng

ngþąi chĄi cþ xā đìp trong cuộc chĄi v n ‧n biðu

C. Players with good attitudes make a greater

contribution to their teams’ budgets than others:

NhĂng ngþąi chĄi cù th‟i độ tốt đùng gùp lĆn vào

ngân sách cûa đội hĄn ngþąi khá

D.Well-mannered players sometimes display strong

emotions after winning or losing a game: NhĂng

ngþąi chĄi cþ xā đìp đôi khi thð hiòn c†m xúc qu‟

đ„ sau khi th ng hay thua cuộc

Dẫn chứng (đoạn cuối): In other words, parents

should get their children to focus on the positive

role models, rather than the antics of the badly

behaved but often more publicized players: Nói

cách khác, cha mì nín hþĆng trê tp trung vào nhĂng

Urban development is having a direct impact on the weather in many cities worldwide It has been noticedthat the difference (23) temperature is usually greater at night and the phenomenon occurs in bothwinner and summer Experts agree that this is due to urban development, when open green spaces arereplaced with asphalt roads and tall brick or concrete buildings These materials retain heat generated by theSun and release it through the night In Atlanta, in the US, this has even led to thunderstorms (24) occur in the morning rather than, as is more common, in the afternoon

Large cities around the world are adopting strategies to combat this issue (25) it is not uncommon

to find plants growing on top of roofs or down the walls or large buildings In Singapore, the government has(26)

A letter of application is a sales letter in which you are both salesperson and product, for the purpose of

an application is to attract an employer’s attention and persuade him or her to grant you an interview To dothis, the letter presents what you can offer the employer, rather than what you want from the job

Like a resume, the letter of application is a sample of your work and an opportunity to demonstrate your

skills and personality If it is written with flair and understanding and prepared with prefessional care, it is

likely to be very effective While the resume must be factual, objective, and brief, the letter is your chance to

interpret and expand It should state explicitly how your background relates to the specific job, and it should

emphasise your strongest and most relevant characteristics The letter should demonstrate that you knowboth yourself and the company

The letter of application must communicate your ambition and enthusiasm Yet it must be modest It should

be neither aggressive nor compliant: neither pat yourself on the back nor ask for sympathy It should neverexpress dissatisfaction with the present or former job or employer And you should avoid discussingyour reasons for leaving your last job

Finally, it is best that you not broach the subject on salary Indeed, even if a job advertisement requires that

you mention your salary requirements, it is advisable simply to call them “negotiable.” However, when you

Henry is the undisputed star of Dronfield School near Sheffield Whatever the achievements of othermembers of the comprehensive school, it is Henry, with his soulful eyes and glossy hair, who hashogged the limelight, appearing on television in Britain and abroad Yet despite all the public

adulation, Henry stirs up no envy or resentment among the 2000 students – in fact, they all adore him.
