Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions
In today's competitive world, what responsible parents would not want to give their children the best possible start in life? For this reason, many parents want their children, often as young as ten months old, to become familiar with computers They seem to think that if their children grow up with computers, they will be better equipped to face the challenges of the future
No one has proved that computers make children more creative or more intelligent The truth may even
be the opposite Educational psychologists claim that too much exposure to computers, especially for the very young, may negatively affect normal brain development Children gain valuable experience of the world from their interaction with physical objects Ten-month-old babies may benefit more from bumping their heads or putting various objects in their mouths than they will from staring at eye-catching cartoons A four-year-old child can improve hand-eye coordination and understand cause and effect better by experimenting with a crayon than by moving a cursor around a computer screen So, as educational psychologists suggest, instead of government funding going to more and more computer classes, it might be better to devote resources to music and art programs
It is ludicrous to think that children will fall behind if they are not exposed to computers from an early age Time is too precious to spend with a "mouse" Now is the time when they should be out there
learning to ride a bike There will be time later on for them to start banging away at keyboards Câu 14 (TH): Children who spend a lot of time on their computers _

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.
Culture is a word in common use with complex meanings, and is derived, like the term broadcasting, from the treatment and care of the soil and of what grows on it It is directly related to cultivation and the adjectives cultural and cultured are part of the same verbal complex A person of culture has identifiable attributes, among them a knowledge of and interest in the arts, literature, and music Yet the word culture does not refer solely to such knowledge and interest nor, indeed, to
Trang 4education At least from the 19th century onwards, under the influence of anthropologists and sociologists, the word culture has come to be used generally both in the singular and the plural (cultures)
to refer to a whole way of life of people, including their customs, laws, conventions, and values
Distinctions have consequently been drawn between primitive and advanced culture and cultures, between elite and popular culture, between popular and mass culture, and most recently between national and global cultures Distinctions have been drawn too between culture and civilization; the latter is a word derived not, like culture or agriculture, from the soil, but from the city The two words are sometimes treated as synonymous Yet this is misleading While civilization and barbarism are pitted against each other in what seems to be a perpetual behavioral pattern, the use of the word culture has been strongly influenced by 6 conceptions of evolution in the 19th century and of development in the 20th century Cultures evolve or develop They are not static They have twists and turns Styles change
So do fashions There are cultural processes What, for example, the word cultured means has changed substantially since the study of classical (that is, Greek and Roman) literature, philosophy, and history ceased in the 20th century to be central to school and university education No single alternative focus emerged, although with computers has come electronic culture, affecting kinds of study, and most recently digital culture As cultures express themselves in new forms not everything gets better or more civilized
The multiplicity of meanings attached to the word made and will make it difficult to define There
is no single, unproblematic definition, although many attempts have been made to establish one The only non- problematic definitions go back to agricultural meaning (for example, cereal culture or strawberry culture) and medical meaning (for example, bacterial culture or penicillin culture) Since in anthropology and sociology we also acknowledge culture clashes, culture shock, and counter-culture, the range of reference is extremely wide

A. all schools and universities have taught classical literature, philosophy, and history
