VII Read the passage and choose the correct answers
For centuries, sky watchers have reported seeing mysterious flashes of light on the surface of the Moon Modern astronomers have observed the same phenomenon, but no one has been able to satisfactorily explain
how or why the Moon sporadically sparks However, researchers now believe they have found the cause Researchers have examined the chemical content of Moon rocks retrieved by astronauts during the Apollo missions and have found that they contain volatile gases such as helium, hydrogen, and argon The researchers suggest that stray electrons, freed when the rock cracks, may ignite these gases Indeed, lunar rock samples, when fractured in the lab, throw off sparks
What causes these rocks to crack on the lunar surface? The flashes are most often seen at the borders between sunlight and shade on the Moon, where the surface is being either intensely heated or cooled A sudden change
in temperature may cause thermal cracking Another possibility is that meteors may strike the rocks and cause them to crack Finally, lunar rocks may be fractured by seismic events - in other words, by tiny moonquakes

VII Read the following passage and choose the correct answers
Research has indicated that dyslexia has biological origin, and most investigators now suspect 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 with processing 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 and those of nondyslexics that suggest a comparable problem with fast-changing visual stimuli Researchers have also found several other neuroanatomical abnormalities in the temporal lobe 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

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 of dyslexic
behaviors

A trouble with hearing and sensory stimuli B inability to distinguish between auditory signals

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 allows stimuli 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
Trang 17When 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 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 They revert from the long term memory B They are filtered from the sensory storage area
C They get chunked when they enter the brain D They enter via the nervous system

IX Read the passage and choose the correct answers
The main purpose of a resume is to convince an employer to grant you an interview There 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 higher education, 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 to show 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 _
97 The advantage of a functional résumé to a tombstone one is that
A it makes you feel important B it may help you look active and interesting to employers
C it shows all your achievements D it gives a short summary of you
98 Which of the followings is not the tip mentioned in the reading?
A be specific B never say sorry C feel important of yourself D tell who you are
Trang 2299 We shouldn't apologize for working at being a mother because
A you have a special training B it is the hardest job
C the employer wouldn't listen to you D its not good to share experience

VII Read the following passage and choose the correct answers
Fog is a cloud in contact with or just above the surface of land or sea It can be a major environmental hazard
Fog on highways can cause chain-reaction accidents involving dozens of cars Delays and shutdowns at airports can cause economic losses to airlines and inconveniences to thousands of travelers Fog at sea has always been
a danger to navigation Today, with supertankers carrying vast quantities of oil, fog increases the possibility of
catastrophic oil spills
The most common type of fog, radiation fog, forms at night, when moist air near the ground loses warmth through radiation on a clear night This type of fog often occurs in valleys, such as California's San Joaquin Valley Another common type, advection fog, results from the movement of warm, wet air over cold ground The air loses temperature to the ground and condensation sets in This type of fog often occurs along the
California coast and the shores of the Great Lakes Advection fog also forms when air associated with a warm ocean current blows across the surface of a cold current The thick fogs of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland,

SCREENPLAYS
Anyone who knows how to play chess will understand how to write a screenplay for a film Most chess players stumble from beginning to end We don't know much, but we know enough to play We move without really knowing what's going to happen further on in the dame Maybe we can see one or two moves ahead, and,
if we can, we're pleased by our uncanny ability to see even that far ahead Better than the days when we
couldn't see ahead at all – when we were playing blindly Over time, as we learned more about playing chess,
we made a startling revelation: chess depends more upon long-term strategy than upon short-term tactics Up
till then, we'd been happy with a rather shortsighted approach Suddenly, we became aware of 'the big picture'
We began to see the game as a whole, not just a series of individual moves And once we saw the game as a
whole, we began to see patterns emerge in the play Gambits, they call them And the patterns have names, such
aware you become of its complexities

Sound travels in waves through the air like waves through the water; the higher the wave, the greater its power The waves are alternate rings of compressed and rarefied air moving away from a central source at a constant speed As each wave of first compression and then rarefaction encounters an object, it exerts a force –
a push and then a pull – on the object That is why sound can break a glass or cause a screen to vibrate
The greater the number of waves a sound has, the greater its frequency is The strength or intensity of sound, sound level is measured in decibels (db) The decibel unit is named after Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor

to one person may not to another Although loudness is a personal judgment, precise measurement of sound is made possible by use of the decibel scale This scale of Sound Levels and Human Response measures sound pressure or energy according to international standards
