American movies create myths about college life in the United States These stories are entertaining,but they are not true You have to look beyond Hollywood movies to understand what college is reallylike

students have the freedom to participate in activities, they also have academic responsibilities In order
to succeed, they have to attend classes and study hard
Another movie myth is that athletics is the only important extracurricular activity In fact, there is awide variety of nonacademic activities on campus such as special clubs, service organizations, art, andtheater programs This variety allows students to choose what interests them Even more important, after
graduation, students’ résumés look better to employers if they list a few extracurricular activities.
Most students in the movies can easily afford higher education If only this were true! While it is true
that some American college students are wealthy, most are from families with moderate incomes Up to
80% of them get some type of financial aid Students from middle and lower-income families oftenwork part-time throughout their college years There is one thing that many college students have incommon, but it is not something you will see in the movies They have parents who think highereducation is a priority, a necessary and important part of their children's lives

During the teenage years, many young people can at times be difficult to talk to They often

normal development becoming independent of teenagers trying to be adult while they are still growing
up Young people are usually more willing to talk if they believe that questions are asked out of realinterest and not because people are trying to check up on them
Parents should do their best to talk to their sons and daughters about school work and future plan but should not push them to talk if they don’t want to Parents should also watch for the dangersigns: some young people in trying to be adult may experiment with sex, drugs, alcohol or smoking

them Emotions have evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to
others But does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as itdoes in Madagascar? Much research on emotional expressions has centered on such questions
According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and understandsubstantially the same “facial language” Studies by Ekman’s group have demonstrated that humansshare a set of universal emotional expressions that testify to the common biological heritage of thehuman species Smiles, for example, signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people
in such far- flung places as Argentina, Japan, Spain, Hungary, Poland , Sumatra ,the United States,Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea , and the Eskimo villages north of Artic Circle Ekman and hiscolleagues claim that people everywhere can recognize at least seven basic emotions: sadness, fear,anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and surprise There are, however, huge differences across cultures
in both the context and intensity of emotional displays – the so called display rules In many Asiancultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses – especially negative ones-while many American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly Regardless ofculture, however, emotions usually show themselves, to some degree , in people’s behavior From theirfirst days of life, babies produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings
The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too Very young children pay close attention
to facial expressions, and by age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading emotions on
people’s faces This evidence all points to a biological underpinning for our abilities to express and
interpret a basic set of human emotions Moreover, as Charles Darwin pointed out over a century ago,some emotional expressions seem to appear across species boundaries Cross - cultural psychologists tell
us that certain emotional responses carry different meanings in different cultures For example, whatemotion do you suppose might be conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, this mightindicate disgust, while in China it can signify surprise Likewise, a grin on an American face mayindicate joy, while on a Japanese face it may just as easily mean embarrassment Clearly, cultureinfluences emotional expressions
Trang 10Question 43 According to the passage, we respond to others by _
A observing their looks B watching their actions
C observing their emotional expressions D looking at their faces
Question 44 Many studies on emotional expressions try to answer the question whether
A different cultures have similar emotional expressions
C raising the eyebrows has similar meaning to rounding the mouth
D rounding the mouth has the same meaning in Minneapolis and Madagascar
Question 45 The word “ evolved” in line 3 is closest in meaning to
Question 46 Paul Ekman is mentioned in the passage as an example of
A lacked many main ingredients
B researchers on universal language
C researchers who can speak and understand many languages
D investigators on universal emotional expressions
Question 47 The biggest difference lies in
A how long negative emotions are displayed B how intensive emotions are expressed
C how emotional responses are controlled D how often positive emotions are shown Question 48 Unlike American children, Asian children are encouraged to _
A control their emotions B display their emotions openly
C conceal their positive emotions D change their behaviour
Question 49 The phrase “ this evidence” in line 21 refers to _.
A the fact that children are good at recognizing others’ emotions
B.human facial expressions
C a biological underpinning for humans to express emotions
D the fact that children can control their feelings
Question 50 The best title for the passage is

In the exploration of the linguistic life circle, it is apparent that it is much more difficult to learn
a second language in adulthood than a first language in childhood Most adults never completely master
a foreign language, especially in phonology - hence the foreign accent Their development often'fossilizes' into permanent error patterns that no teaching or correction can undo Of course there aregreat individual differences, which depend on effort, attitudes, amount of exposure, quality of teaching,
and plain talent, but there seems to be a cap for the best adults in the best circumstances.
Many explanations have been advanced for children's superiority: they exploit the simplified,repetitive conversation between parents and children, make errors unself-consciously, are more
motivated to communicate, like to conform, are not set in their ways, and have no first language to,
interfere But some of these accounts are unlikely, based on what is known about how languageacquisition works.: Recent evidence is calling these social and motivation explanations into doubt.Holding every other factor constant, a key factor stands out: sheer age
Systematic evidence comes from the psychologist Elissa Newport and her colleagues They
tested Korean and Chinese-born students at the University of Illinois who had spent at least ten years in
the U.S The immigrants were given a list of 276 simple English sentences, half of them containingsome grammatical error The immigrants who came to the U.S between the ages of three an sevenperformed identically to American-born students Those who arrived between the ages of 8 and 15 didworse the later they arrived, and those who arrived between 17 and 39 did the worst of all, and showed
huge variability unrelated their age of arrival.

A adult differences in learning a foreign language
B children's ability to learn a language
C the age factor in learning languages fast

Question 48: In the experiment in the passage, the psychologists discovered

Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become
extinct or have neared extinction has increased Bengal tigers, for instance, which once roamed thejungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300 By the year 2025, it is estimated that they willbecome extinct
What is alarming about the case of the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will have been caused
almost entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not always interested in material gain but in personal gratification This is an example of the callousness that is contributing to the problem of
extinction Animals such as the Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts ofthe world’s ecosystem International laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure theirsurvival – and the survival of our planet
Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various ways Some countries,
in an effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large amounts of land to animals reserves They
then charge admission prices to help defray the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must alsodepend on world organizations for support This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols
to protect the animals Another response to the increase in animal extinction is an international boycott
of products made from endangered species This has had some effect, but by itself it will not preventanimals from being hunted and killed

A recent study shows that an unequal share of household chores is still the norm in many
households, despite the fact that many more women now have jobs In a survey of 1,256 people agesbetween18 and 65, men said they contributed an average of 37 per cent of the total housework, while thewomen estimated their share to be nearly double that, at 70 per cent This ratio was not affected bywhether the woman was working or not
When they were asked what they thought was a fair division of labor, women with jobs felt thathousework should be shared equally between male and female partners Women who did not workoutside the home were satisfied to perform 80 per cent - the majority of the household work - if their
husbands did the remainder Research 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, butfor men the amount is just 90 minutes So the division of labor becomes unbalanced, as a man's shareincreases much less than the woman's It is the inequality and loss of respect, not the actual number ofhours, which leads to anxiety and depression The research describes housework as thankless andunfulfilling 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 totheir professional duties In contrast, full-time homemakers frequently anticipate going back to workwhen the children grow up Distress for this group is caused by losing the teamwork in the marriage
Question 36: The word “remainder” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _.
A what is left B what is done C what is fulfilled D what is sharedQuestion 37: Although women think men should share the housework, those who do not have a paid jobshare _ of the chores
A 37 per cent B 70 per cent C 80 per cent D 14 per cent
Question 38: After getting married, _
A men do less housework B women do twice as much housework
C men do more housework D women have a bigger house
Question 39: Women who do not have jobs become depressed _
A if their husbands do 20 per cent of the chores
B if they have to do more than half of the housework
C because they have no self-respect
D when their husbands do not help them
Question 40: The word “norm” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _.
A strange thing B usual thing C changing thing D unequal thing Question 41: According to the passage, a good relationship is the one in which _
A women do 80 per cent of the housework
B women and men divide the housework equally
C men do more housework than women
D women do 14 hours of housework
Question 42: Objects of the survey were _

Trang 29is a much more difficult world The pupil soon learns to be less in the way he speaks to teachers and even tohis fellow pupils He begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses theneed for a more cautions approach in the secondary school where there are older pupils Secondary staff andpupils suffer from the pressures of academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk Teachers withspecialist roles may see hundreds of children in week and a pupil may be able to form relationships with veryfew of the staff.
He has to decide which adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every young person
from the first year what guidance and personal help is available- but whether the reality of life in theinstitution actually encourages requests for help is another matter
Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to a child He sees a great deal of
movement, a great number of people- often rather frightening looking people- and realises that an increasingnumber of choices and decisions have to be made As he progresses through the school the confusion maybecome less but the choices and decisions required will increase The school will rightly expect the pupil totake the first steps to obtain the help he needs, for this is the pattern of adult life for which he has to beprepared, but all the time the opportunities for personal and group advice must be presented in a way whichmakes them easy to understand and within easy reach of pupils
Question 43: According to the passage one of the problems for pupils entering secondary school is that
A they are taught by many different teachers
B they do not attend lessons in every subject
C the teachers do not want to be friendly
D the teachers give most attention to the more academic pupils
Question 44: The teachers at secondary school do not talk much to the pupils because
A they want to keep a certain distance with the pupils
B they are too busy with their academic work
C the pupils are afraid of them
D it is the regulation of the school
Question 45: In secondary schools every pupil having problems should _
A know how to ask for help
B be freed from any pressure of academic work
C be able to discuss his problems in class
D be able to discuss his problems with any teacher
Question 46: What will the school rightly expect the pupils to do ?
A they study hard B they think carefully
C they understand well D they firstly obtain the help
Question 47: The word “adults” in the second paragraph (underlined) refers to _
A the pupils at secondary school B the secondary pupils parents
C the staff at secondary school D the teachers and pupils at secondary school
Question 48:How many pupils do teachers see in a week?
A One pupil B A few of pupils C Many pupils D Hundreds of pupils
Question 49: Who do the pupils make relationship with ?

C the training of the individual teachers
D the personal development of pupils
