Emotions are also easily affected by stress People suffering from stress often feel anxious They may have panic attacks They may feel tired all the time When people are under stress, they often overreact to little problems

ROLE MODELS

When one hears the expression “role models”, one‟s mind naturally jumps to celebrities, especially as far

as young people are concerned Therefore, it would be more than natural to assume that teenagers, heavily

influenced by the media, are dazzled by well-known Hollywood stars, famous musicians and internationally

renowned athletes However, nothing could be further from the truth

In reality, according to a recent survey, over 75% of teens who filled out an online questionnaire claimed that the role model for whom they had the greatest respect was not a famous personality, but a family

Trang 4

member It seems that the qualities that make a good role model are more complex than researchers first assumed For example, Nancy L, a teenage girl from Wisconsin, described her role model as a woman who had

a clear sense of what was important to her, making the effort to create things that would make a real difference in the world The woman she was referring to was her favourite aunt, who was a painter and sculptor

Role models come into young people‟s lives in various ways They are family members, educators, peers and ordinary people encountered in their daily lives Students emphasised that being a role model is not

confined to those with international fame or unbelievable wealth Instead, they said the greatest attribute of

a role model is the ability to inspire others Teachers were often mentioned as examples in this case, ones that are dedicated to encouraging students, helping them push their limits and strengthen their characters

Another quality high on the list was the ability to overcome obstacles In addition to parents, peers often made up a large percentage of such role models Young people are at a point in their lives when they are developing the skills of initiative and capability, so it is only natural that they admire people who show them that success in the face of difficulty is possible

A final and perhaps unexpected character trait that the youth of today admire is a clear set of values Children admire people whose actions are consistent with their beliefs; in other words, who practise what they preach Role models help them to understand the significance of honesty, motivation and the desire to do general good For example, local politicians who clearly struggle to improve living conditions in their cities are high on their lists of role models

Perhaps what should be understood from what young people consider important in a role model is that each and every person around them affects them to a certain extent, perhaps much more than most parents think This makes it crucial for adults to be aware of their influence on the young and set the best examples possible

Question 43 Which of the following is closest in meaning to “dazzled”?

A impressed B disappointed C confused D frightened

Question 44 Which of the following is LEAST likely to be assumed as teens‟ role model?

A A handsome actor B A famous sportsperson

C A hot popstar D A brilliant scientist

Question 45 What does the passage tell us about Nancy L‟s role model?

A She was not related to Nancy B She was famous for her talent

C She was a mysterious person D She had strong priorities

Question 46 Which of the following is closest in meaning to “confined to”?

A assisted by B restricted to C similar to D influenced by Question 47 According to the passage, what quality makes teachers good role models?

A their ambition to succeed B their wide knowledge of the world

C their ability to teach D their positive effect on students

Question 48 The ability to overcome obstacles is important to young people because

A teens must have it to teach their peers

B it is not something that one can easily find

C obstacles make life more difficult

D it is relevant to the stage of life they are in

Question 49 According to paragraph 5, children really look up to those who

A are as active as possible B do what they say they will do

C pay attention to the needs of the young D are religious in their life

Question 50 The passage suggests that adults should

A try to avoid imposing their influence on younger people

B realise that they have a strong effect on young people

C be careful of the role models their children may have

D encourage children to reject celebrities as role models

Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employees‟ homes and offices For employees whose job involves sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the

location of the computer is of no consequence If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when

the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer and transmit the material to their employers A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8,7 million telecommuters Although the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week

published “The Portable Executive” as its cover story a few years ago Why hasn‟t telecommuting become more popular?

Clearly, change simply takes time But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many

managers These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across

the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby

complicating the manager‟s responsibilities

It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are reluctant to accept the opportunity Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting Some people feel that even when a space in their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from the office

A think it necessary to have regular interaction with their families and their workmates

B are worried about their prospects of promotion if they are not seen in the office

C feel that a work area in their home is far away from the office

D have no idea whether or not telecommuting is better

According to sociologists, there are several different ways in which a person may become recognized as the leader of a social group in the United States In the family, traditional cultural patterns confer leadership on one or both of the parents In other cases, such as friendship groups, one or more persons may gradually emerge as leaders, although there is no formal process of selection In larger groups, leaders are usually chosen formally through election or recruitment

Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ability, decades of research have

failed to produce consistent evidence that there is any category of “natural leaders.” It seems that there is

no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common; rather, virtually any person may be recognized as

a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular group

Furthermore, although it is commonly supposed that social groups have a single leader, research suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different individuals Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social group Group members look to instrumental leaders to “get things” done.” Expressive leadership, on the other hand, is leadership that emphasizes the collective well-being of a social group‟s member Expressive leader are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional support to group members and

attempting to minimize tension and conflict among them Group members expect expressive leaders to

maintain stable relationships within the group and provide support to individual members

Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group members

They give orders and may discipline group members who inhibit attainment of the group‟s goals Expressive leaders cultivate a more personal or primary relationship to others in the group They offer sympathy when someone experiences difficulties or is subjected to discipline, are quick to lighten a serious moment with

humor, and try to resolve issues that threaten to divide the group As the differences in these two roles

suggest, expressive leaders generally receive more personal affection from group members; instrumental leaders, if they are successful in promoting group goals, may enjoy a more distant respect

Question 42 What does the passage mainly discuss?

A The problems faced by leaders

B How leadership differs in small and large groups

C How social groups determine who will lead them

D The role of leaders in social groups

Question 44 All of the following are the ways by which people can become leaders EXCEPT

A recruitment B formal election process

C specific leadership training D traditional cultural patterns

Question 45 When mentioning “natural leaders” in paragraph 2, the author is making the point that

A few people qualify as “natural leaders”

B there is no proof that “natural leaders” exist

C “natural leaders‟ are easily accepted by the members of a social group

D “natural leaders” share a similar set of characteristics

Question 46 Which of the following statements about leadership can be inferred from paragraph 2?

A A person who is an effective leader of a particular group may not be an effective leader in another

B Few people succeed in sharing a leadership role with another person

C A person can best learn how to be an effective leader by studying research on leadership

D Most people desire to be leaders but can produce little evidence of their qualifications

Question 47 The passage indicates that instrumental leaders generally focus on

A ensuring harmonious relationships B identifying new leaders

C sharing responsibility with group members D achieving a goal

Question 48 The word “them” in paragraph 3 refers to

A expressive leaders B goals of the group

C group members D tension and conflict

Question 49 A “secondary relationship” mentioned in paragraph 4 between a leader and the members of a group could best be characterized as

A distant B enthusiastic C unreliable D personal Question 50 The word “resolve” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to

A have a discussion about B pay attention to

C give an opinion on D find a solution to
