in Switzerland "In Japan, to answer someone with a 'no' is very impolite We almost never say it!"said Mayumi She is thinking back to how she kept this custom even upon her arrival in Switzerland.'The Japanese manage not to ask direct questions in order not to embarrass the person they arespeaking with But here, people ask very directly, 'Do you want a glass of wine?' 'Would you like somecoffee?' Well, I always felt I had to say 'yes'!"

Mayumi first set herself up in the city of Montreux, a spectacular resort town on the banks ofLake Geneva She wanted to finish her education as a tour guide, and she thought that she would beable to communicate with Swiss people in English "But here, relatively few people speak English!"she told us However, she was able to find someone who indeed spoke English very well-her futurehusband, who was an Englishman

Trang 16

When her brother attended her wedding in Switzerland, he had to leave the very next day On herwedding day, she dressed up in a kimono of beautiful Japanese fabric

Mayumi doesn't think about going back to live in Japan "I prefer to raise my children here In

Japan, education is so competitive and severe Furthermore, my husband would never want to live

there-there would be too many new rules to learn!" However, Mayumi holds things associated withJapan close to her heart During her teen years, she studied calligraphy (the art of writing), the teaceremony, as well as the Japanese version of flower arranging She is also an expert cook, and sheshows off her Japanese dishes to her Swiss friends who are eager to learn from her

II 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.

Long before they can actually speak, babies pay special attention to the speech they hear aroundthem Within the first month of their lives, babies' responses to the sound of the human voice will be

different from their responses to other sorts of auditory stimuli (sự kích thích về thính giác) They will

stop crying when they hear a person talking, but not if they hear a bell or the sound of a rattle(cái

lúc lắc, đồ chơi trẻ con) At first, the sounds that an infant notices might be only those words that

receive the heaviest emphasis and that often occur at the ends of utterances (lời phát biểu) By the

time they are six or seven weeks old, babies can detect the difference between syllables pronounced

with rising and falling inflections (sự chuyển nhịp điệu) Very soon, these differences in adult stress and intonation (ngữ điệu) can influence babies' emotional states and behavior Long before they

develop actual language comprehension, babies can sense when an adult is playful or angry,attempting to initiate or terminate new behavior, and so on, merely on the basis of cues such as therate, volume, and melody of adult speech

Adults make it as easy as they can for babies to pick up a language by exaggerating such cues

One researcher observed babies and their mothers in six diverse cultures and found that, in all six

languages, the mothers used simplified syntax (cú pháp), short utterances and nonsense sounds, and

transformed certain sounds into baby talk Other investigators have noted that when mothers talk to

babies who are only a few months old, they exaggerate (cường điệu, phóng đại) the pitch (độ cao,

thấp của giọng nói, âm thanh), loudness, and intensity of their words They also exaggerate their

facial expressions, hold vowels longer, and emphasize certain words.

More significant for language development than their response to general intonation isobservation that tiny babies can make relatively fine distinctions between speech sounds In otherwords, babies enter the world with the ability to make precisely those perceptual discriminations thatare necessary if they are to acquire aural language

Trang 24

Babies obviously derive pleasure from(tìm thấy niềm vui thích từ) sound input, too: even as young

as nine months they will listen to songs or stories, although the words themselves are beyond theirunderstanding For babies, language is a sensory-motor delight rather than the route to prosaicmeaning that it often is for adults

1 What does the passage mainly discuss?

A The response of babies to sounds other than the human voice

B How babies differentiate between the sound of the human voice and other sounds

C The differences between a baby's and an adult's ability to comprehend language

D How babies perceive and respond to the human voice in their earlieststages of language development

2 According to the author, why do babies listen to songs and stories, even though they cannotunderstand them?

A They can remember them easily

B They focus on the meaning of their parents' word.

C They understand the rhythm

D They enjoy the sound.

3 The passage mentions all of the followings as the ways adults modify their speech when talking to

babies EXCEPT .

A speaking more loudly than normal B speaking with shorter sentences

C giving all words equal emphasis D using meaningless sounds

4 The word "diverse" is closest in meaning to .

A stimulating B divided C different D surrounding

5 The word "They" refers to .

A mothers B investigators C words D babies

6 Why does the author mention "a bell and a rattle"?

A To give examples of typical toys that babies do not like

B To explain how babies distinguish between different nonhuman sounds

C To contrast the reactions of babies to human and nonhuman sounds

D To give examples of sounds that will cause a baby to cry

7 The word "noted" is closest in meaning to .

A requested B disagreed C observed D theorized

8 The word "emphasize" is closest in meaning to .

A leave out B explain C repeat D stress

9 What point does the author make to illustrate that babies are born with the ability to acquirelanguage?

A Babies notice even minor differences between speech sounds.

B Babies exaggerate their own sounds and expressions.

C Babies begin to understand words in songs.

D Babies are more sensitive to sounds than are adults.

10 All of the following are true about young babies EXCEPT that they .

A find pleasure from what they hear

B use language the same way as adults do.

C consider language as a source of joy

D enjoy listening to music without understanding it

II Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

American movies create myths about college life in the United States These stories areentertaining, but they are not true You have to look beyond Hollywood movies to understand whatcollege is really like

Thanks to the movies, many people believe that college students party and socialize more thanthey study Movies almost never show students working hard in class or in the library Instead, moviesshow them eating, talking, hanging out, or dancing to loud music at wild parties While it is true thatAmerican students have the freedom to participate in activities, they also have academicresponsibilities 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 familiesoften work part-time throughout their college years They have parents who think higher education is apriority, a necessary and important part of their children’s lives

Movies about college life usually have characters that are extreme in some way: super athletic,

super intelligent, super wealthy, super glamorous, etc Movies use these stereotypes, along with other

myths of romance and adventure because audiences like going to movies that include these elements

Of course, real college students are not like movie characters at all

So the next time you want a taste of the college experience, do not go to the movies Look at some

college websites or brochures instead Take a walk around your local college campus Visit a fewclasses True, you may not be able to see the same people or exciting action you will se in the movies,but you can be sure that there are plenty of academic adventures going on all around you!
