V. READING

A/ Read the two passages carefully and choose the correct answer.

In developing countries, people are sometimes unaware of the importance of education, and there is

economic pressure from those parents who prioritize their children's, making money in the short term over any

long-term benefits of education. Recent studies on child labor and, poverty have suggested that when poor

families reach a certain economic threshold where families are able to provide for their basic needs, parents

return their children to school. This has been found to be true, once the threshold has been breached, even if

the potential economic value of the children's work has increased since their return to school.

Other problems are that teachers are often paid less than other professions; a lack of good universities

and a low acceptance rate for good universities are evident in countries with a relatively high population

density.

to give their children a digital education. In Africa, an "e-school program" has been launched to provide all

600,000 primary and high schools with computer equipment, learning materials and internet access within 10

years. Volunteer groups are working to give more individuals opportunity to receive education in developing

countries through such programs as the Perpetual Education Fund. An International Development Agency

My aunt is one of those people who can talk to anyone about anything. If she goes to a party where she

doesn't know any of the people, she just walks up to the first person that she sees and introduces herself. And

yet she doesn't seem to talk about deeply important things like politics or religion. She always starts off on

something very obvious like the other person's job. Very soon she's talking as if she's known the other person

for years. I asked her once what her secret was. She said that the most important thing in a conversation was

listening. People love to talk about themselves, so if you allow them to do so, it's very easy to keep a

conversation going. You have to listen very carefully and ask questions. And you have to look interested, too.

So don't keep looking at other things in the room while you're talking to someone.

Another thing that I've noticed is that she only pays people compliments. She says: “I like your hair.

Which hairdresser do you go to?” or “You look very well. Have you been on holiday?” Friendly messages like

this seem to provide an easy way into a conversation.

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

BODY LANGUAGE AND CULTURAL DIFFERENCES

The body language people use often communicates more about their feelings than the words they are

saying. We use body movements, hand gestures, facial expressions, and changes in our voice to communicate

with each other. Although some body language is universal, many gestures are culturally specific and may

mean different things in different countries.

If you want to give someone the nod in Bulgaria, you have to nod your head to say no and shake it to

say yes – the exact opposite of what we do! In Belgium, pointing with your index finger or snapping your

fingers at someone is very rude.

In France, you shouldn’t rest your feet on tables or chairs. Speaking to someone with your hands in

your pockets will only make matters worse. In the Middle East, you should never show the soles of your feet

or shoes to others as it will be seen as a grave insult. When eating, only use your right hand because they use

their left hands when going to the bathroom.

In Bangladesh, the ‘thumbs-up’ is a rude sign. In Myanmar, people greet each other by clapping, and

in India, whistling in public is considered rude.

In Japan, you should not blow your nose in public, but you can burp at the end of a meal to show that

you have enjoyed it. The ‘OK’ sign (thumb and index finger forming a circle) means ‘everything is good’ in

the West, but in China it means nothing or zero. In Japan, it means money, and in the Middle East, it is a rude

gesture.

Choose the item (A, B, C or D) that best completes each of the following sentences.

In 1988, for the first time in British history, a National Curriculum was introduced. The National

Curriculum tells pupils which subjects they have to study, what they must learn and when they have to take

assessment tests. [assessment: đánh giá]

Between the ages of 14 and 16, pupils study for their GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary

Education) exams. Pupils must take English Language, Maths and Science for GCSE, as well as a half GCSE

in a foreign language and Technology. In addition, they must also be taught Physical Education, Religious

Education and Sex Education, although they do not take exams in these subjects.

At the age of 16, pupils can leave school. If pupils stay on, they usually take A (Advanced) levels, AS

(Advanced Supplementary) level or GNVQs (Greater National Vocational Qualifications). It is quite common

to combine, for example, two A levels with one AS level, or one A level with one GNVQ.

Pupils taking A levels study traditional subjects, such as French, Physics or History. To go to

university, pupils usually need two or three A levels.

AS levels are the same standard as A levels, but only half of the content: AS level German pupils take

the A-level German language exam, but do not take the A-level German Literature exam.

GNVQs are vocational qualifications. Pupils usually take on GNVQ in subjects such as Business,

Leisure and Tourism, Manufacturing, and Art and Design. One GVNQ (at advanced level) is equal to two A

levels.

Last week I went to visit Atlantic College, an excellent private college in Wales. Unusually, it gives

people much needed experience of life outside the classroom, as well as the opportunity to study for their

exams. The students, who are aged between 16 and 18 and come from all over the word, spend the morning

studying. In the afternoon they go out and do a really useful activity, such as helping on the farm, looking

after people with learning difficulties, or checking for pollution in rivers.

One of the great things about Atlantic College students is that they come from many different social

backgrounds and countries. As few can afford the fees of £20,000 over two years, grants are available.

A quarter of students are British, and many of those can only attend because they receive government

help.

“I really admire the college for trying to encourage international understanding among young people",

87

as Barbara Molenkamp, a student from the Netherlands, said. ''You learn to live with people and respect them,

even the ones you don't like. During the summer holidays my mother couldn't believe how much less I argued

Choose the option that best completes each of the following sentences.

Computer programmer David Jones earns £35,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he

cannot find a bank prepared to let him have a cheque card. Instead, he has been told to wait another two years,

until he is 18.

The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his

age is finding a job. David's firm releases two new games for the expanding home computer market each

month.

But David's biggest headache is what to do with his money.

Despite his salary, earned by inventing new programs within tight schedules, with bonus payments and

profit-sharing, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage, or obtain credit cards.

He lives with his parents in their council house in Liverpool, where his father is a bus driver. His

company has to pay £150 a month in taxi fares to get him the five miles to work and back every day because

David cannot drive.

David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with

six O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop. "I got the job because the people who run the firm

knew 1 had already written some programs," he said.

"I suppose £35,000 sounds a lot but actually that's being pessimistic. I hope it will come to more than

that this year." He spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother £20 a week. But

most his spare time is spent working.

"Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school," he said. "But 1 had been studying it

in books and 'magazines for four years in my spare time. 1 knew what 1 wanted to do and never considered

staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway."

David added: "I would like to earn a million and 1 suppose early retirement is a possibility. You never

know when the market might disappear."

41. Why is David different from other young people at his age?

A. He earns an extremely high salary. B. He is not unemployed.

C. He does not go out much. D. He lives at home with his parents.

42. David's greatest problem is

A. Making the banks treat him as an adult. B. inventing computer games.

C. spending his salary. D. learning to drive.

43. He was employed by the company because

A. he had worked in a computer shop. B. he had written some computer programs.

C. he works very hard. D. he had learnt to use computers at school.

44. He left school after taking O-levels because

91

A. he did not enjoy school.

B. he wanted to work with computers and staying at school did not help him.

C. he was afraid of getting too old to start computing.

D. he wanted to earn a lot of money.

45. Why does David think h~ might retire early?

A. You have to be young to write computer programs.

B. He wants to stop working when he is a millionaire.

C. He thinks computer games might not always sell so well.

D. He thinks his firm might go bankrupt.

One of the greatest advantages of robots is that they can work in situations that are dangerous or harmful

for human workers. For example, the continuous smell of paint has a harmful effect on painters, but it doesn't

"bother" a robot. Robots can work in nuclear power plants and in undersea research stations that might be

dangerous for humans. Already, robots are working in the plastics industry and in chemical and industrial

equipment industries. One of the most common uses of robots is still in automobile factories. They can do the

heavy, unpleasant, or dangerous work. These kinds of industrial robots are not usually "mobile". The work

they need to do is brought to them, like cars on an assembly line, for example.

The robot industry is a big business. By the middle of the 1990s, Japan' led the world in robot production

with more than 71,000 industrial robots at work. Both the United States and Japan, as well as other countries,

continue to develop more advanced robots. Robots can now be made to perform more complex jobs. Robots

94

can make decisions while they are working and learn from their mistakes. Robots can now see with TV

camera "eyes." They can easily hear and can even speak using a voice made by a computer. But it is difficult

to make a robot "understand." Thinking. and understanding are very human qualities. The robots of the future

will probably be very complex. They will be able to perform many humanlike tasks. Robots and other

technology will make the future a very interesting place!

41. We can infer from the passage that by the middle of the 1990s__________.

44. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word "bother" in the first paragraph?

We know that there is no life on Mars. The Viking robot missions to the Red Planet proved that. The

(47)________involved in the search for Martian life that he built his own laboratory. It housed a huge

telescope. At 7,000 feet (2.13km) (48)________sea level in a dry climate, it was a perfect site to view Mars.

by intelligent life. There was also the chance that water was on the planet. He drew many maps in his
