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 following questions.
A recent study shows that an unequal share of household chores is still the norm in many households,
dispite the fact that many more women now have jobs In a survey of 1,256 people ages between 18 and
65, men said they contributed an average of 37% of the total housework, while the women estinated their
Trang 4share to be nearly double that, at 70% This ratio was not affected by whether the woman was working or not
When they were asked what they thought was a fair division of labor, women with jobs felt that housework should be shared equally between male and female partners Women who did not work outside the home wrer satisfied to perform 80% - the majority of the household work – if their husbands
did remainder Reseach has shown that, if levels increase beyond these percentages, women become
unhappy and anxious, and feel they are unimportant
After marriage, a woman is reported to increase her household workload by 14 hours per week, but for men the amount is just 90 minutes So the division of labor becomes unbalanced, as a man’s share increases much less than the woman’s It is the inequality and loss of repect, not the actual number of hours, which leads to axiety and depression The reseach describes housework as thankless and unfulfilling Activities included in the study were cooking, cleaning, shopping, doing laundry, washing up and childcare Women who have jobs report that they feel overworked by these chores in addition to their professional duties In contrast, full-time homemakers frequently anticipate going back to work when the children grow up Distress for this group is cuased by losing the teamwork in the marriage
In cases where men perform most of the housework, results were similar The men also became depressed by the imbalance of labor The research showed that the least distressed people are those who have equal share, implying that men could perform significantly more chores and even benefit from this The research concludes “ Everybody benefits from sharing the housework Even for women keeping house, a share division of labor is important If you decide to stay at home to raise the children, you don’t want to become the servant of the house”

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 following questions.
Trang 5Most forms of property are concrete and tangible, such as houses, cars, furniture or anything else that
is included in one’s possessions Other forms of property can be intangible, and copyright deals with
intangible forms of property Copyright is a legal protection extended to authors of creative works, for
example, books, magazine articles, maps, films, plays, television shows, software, paintings, photographs, music, choreography in dance and all other forms of intellectual or artistic property
Although the purpose of artistic property is usually public use and enjoyment, copyright establishes the ownership of the creator When a person buys a copyrighted magazine, it belongs to this individual as a tangible object However, the authors of the magazine articles own the research and the writing that went into creating the articles The right to make and sell or give away copies of books or articles belongs to the authors, publishers, or other individuals or organizations that hold the copyright To copy an entire book or a part of it, permission must be received from the copyright owner, who will most likely expect to
be paid
Copyright law distinguishes between different types of intellectual property Music may be played by anyone after it is published However, if it is performed for profit, the performers need to pay a fee, called
a royalty A similar principle applies to performances of songs and plays On the other hand, names,
ideas, and book titles are excepted Ideas do not become copyrighted property until they are published in a book, a painting or a musical work Almost all artistic work created before the 20th century is not copyrighted because it was created before the copyright law was passed
The two common ways of infringing upon the copyright are plagiarism and piracy Plagiarizing the
work of another person means passing it off as one’s own The word plagiarism is derived from the Latin plagiarus, which means “abductor” Piracy may be an act of one person, but, in many cases, it is a joint
effort of several people who reproduce copyrighted material and sell it for profit without paying royalties
to the creator Technological innovations have made piracy easy and anyone can duplicate a motion picture on videotape, a computer program, or a book Video cassette recorders can be used by practically anyone to copy movies and television programs, and copying software has become almost as easy as copying a book Large companies zealously monitor their copyrights for slogans, advertisements, and brand names, protected by a trademark
