Computer technology was supposed to replace paper But that hasn’t happened Every country in the Western world uses more paper today, on a per-capita basis, than it did ten years ago The consumpti on of uncoated free-sheet paper, for instance — the most common kind of office paper — rose almost fifteen per cent in the United States between 1995 and 2000 This is generally taken as evidence of how hard it is to eradicate old, wasteful habits and of how stubbornly resistant we are to the efficiencies offered by computerization A number of cognitive psychologists and ergonomics experts, however, don’t agree Paper has persisted, they argue, for very good reasons: when it comes to performing certain kinds of cognitive tasks, the paper has many advantages over computers The dismay people feel at the sight of a messy desk — or the spectacle of air-traffic controllers tracking flights through notes scribbled on paper strips — arises from a fundamental confusion about the role that paper plays in our lives B The case for paper is made most eloquently in “The Myth of the Paperless Office” by two social scientists, Abigail Sellen and Richard Harper They begin their book with an account of a study they conducted at the International Monetary Fund in Washington, D.C Economists at the I.M.F spend most of their time writing reports on complicated economic questions, work that would seem to be perfectly suited to sitting in front of a computer Nonetheless, the I.M.F is awash in paper, and Sellen and Harper wanted to find out why Their answer is that the business of writing reports — at least at the I.M.F — is an intensely collaborative process, involving the professional judgments and contributions of many people The economists bring drafts of reports to conference rooms, spread out the relevant pages, and negotiate changes with one other They go back to their offices and jot down comments in the margin, taking advantage of the freedom offered by the informality of the handwritten note Then they deliver the annotated draft to the author in person, taking him, page by page, through the suggested changes At the end of the process, the author spreads out all the pages with comments on his desk and starts to enter them on the computer — moving the pages around as he works, organizing and reorganizing, saving and discarding C Without paper, this kind of collaborative and iterative work process would be much more difficult According to Sellen and Harper, the paper has a unique set of “affordances” — that is, qualities that permit specific kinds of uses Paper is tangible: we can pick up a document, flip through it, read little bits here and there, and quickly get a sense of it Paper is spatially flexible, meaning that we can spread it out and arrange it in the way that suits us best And it’s tailorable: we can easily annotate it, and scribble on it as we read, without altering the original text Digital documents, of course, have their own affordances They can be easily searched, shared, stored, accessed remotely, and linked to other relevant material But they lack the affordances that really matter to a group of people working together on a report, Sellen and Harper write D Paper enables a certain kind of thinking Picture, for instance, have a keyboard and a computer screen off to one side, and a in front of your chair What covers the rest of the desktop is magazines, binders, postcards, videotapes, and all the other the top of your desk Chances are that you clear space roughly eighteen inches square probably piles — piles of papers, journals, artefacts of the knowledge economy The piles look like a mess, but they aren’t When a group at Apple Computer studied piling behavior several years ago, they found that even the most disorderly piles usually make perfect sense to the piler, and that Page of 10 office workers could hold forth in great detail about the precise history and meaning of their piles The pile closest to the cleared, eighteen-inch-square working area, for example, generally represents the most urgent business, and within that pile, the most important document of all is likely to be at the top Piles are living, breathing archives Over time, they get broken down and resorted, sometimes chronologically and sometimes thematically and sometimes chronologically and thematically; clues about certain documents may be physically embedded in the file by, say, stacking a certain piece of paper at an angle or inserting dividers into the stack E But why we pile documents instead of filing them? Because piles represent the process of active, ongoing thinking The psychologists Alison Kidd, whose research Sellen and Harper refer to extensively, argues that “knowledge workers” use the physical space of the desktop to hold “ideas which they cannot yet categorize or even decide how they might use.” The messy desk is not necessarily a sign of disorganization It may be a sign of complexity: those who deal with many unresolved ideas simultaneously cannot sort and file the papers on their desks, because they haven’t yet sorted and filed the ideas in their heads Kidd writes that many of the people she talked to use the papers on their desks as contextual cues to “recover a complex set of threads without difficulty and delay” when they come in on a Monday morning, or after their work has been interrupted by a phone call What we see when we look at the piles on our desks is, in a sense, the contents of our brains F This idea that paper facilitates a highly specialized cognitive and social process is a far cry from the way we have historically thought about the stuff Paper first began to proliferate in the workplace in the late nineteenth century as part of the move toward “systematic management.” To cope with the complexity of the industrial economy, managers were instituting company-wide policies and demanding monthly, weekly, or even daily updates from their subordinates Thus was born the monthly sales report, and the office manual and the internal company newsletter The typewriter took off in the eighteen-eighties, making it possible to create documents in a fraction of the time it had previously taken, and that was followed closely by the advent of carbon paper, which meant that a typist could create ten copies of that document simultaneously Paper was important not to facilitate creative collaboration and thought but as an instrument of control For questions 101-106, choose the correct heading for paragraphs A-F from the list below Write the correct number, i-x, in the corresponding numbered boxes provided i ii iii iv v vi Your answers: List of headings Paper continued as a sharing or managing must Piles can be more inspiring rather than disorganising Favorable situations that economists used paper pages Overview of an unexpected situation: paper survived Comparison between efficiencies for using paper and using computer IMF's paperless office seemed to be a waste of papers vii Example of failure for the avoidance of paper record viii | There are advantages of using a paper in offices ix _ Piles reflect certain characteristics in people’s thought x Joy of having the paper square in front of a computer ; 101 Paragraph C 102 Paragraph B 103 Paragraph C 104 Paragraph D 105 Paragraph E 106 Paragraph F For questions 107-110, choose the correct letter, A, B,C or D Write corresponding numbered boxes provided 107 What the economists from IMF say that their way of writing documents?

protein, eggs also contain a high level of blood cholesterol, one of the major causes of heart disease One egg yolk, in fact, contains a little more than two-thirds of suggested daily cholesterol limit This knowledge has caused egg sales to plummet in recent years, which in turn has brought about the development of several alternatives to eating regular eggs One alternative is to eat substitute eggs These egg substitutes are not really eggs, but they look somewhat like eggs when they are cooked They have advantage of having lower cholesterol rates, and they can be scrambled or used in baking One advantage, however, is that they are not good for frying, poaching, or boiling A second alternative to regular eggs is a new type of eggs, sometimes called “designer” eggs These eggs are produced by hens that are fed low-fat diets consisting of ingredients such as canola oil, flaw, and rice LUYEN THI ONLINE (ZOOM) OTTO CHANNEL ¡Chuyên Anh & HSG cấp bran In spite of their diets, however, these hens produce eggs that contain the same amount of cholesterol as regular eggs Yet, the producers of these eggs claim that eating their eggs will not raise the blood cholesterol in humans Egg producers claim that their product has been portrayed unfairly They cite scientific studies to back up their claim And, in fact, studies on the relationships between eggs and human cholesterol levels have brought mixed results It may be that it is not the type of eggs that is the main determinant of cholesterol but the person who is eating the eggs Some people may be more sensitive to cholesterol derived from food than other people In fact, there is evidence that certain dietary fats stimulate the bodys production of blood cholesterol Consequently, while it is still makes sense to limit one's intake of eggs, even designer eggs, it seems that doing this without regulating dietary fat will probably not help reduce the blood cholesterol level What is the main

Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical twins that were separated shortly after birth and brought up by different parents They found that achievement was based on intelligence, and later influenced by the child's environment One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted One of the twins received a normal upbringing and performed well The other twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportive parents and given every possible opportunity to develop its abilities That twin, though starting out with the same degree of intelligence as the other, performed even better This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability The more favorable the environment, the more a child's intelligence and ability are developed However, there is no link between intelligence and the socioeconomic level of a child's family In other words, it does not matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect intelligence Gifted people cannot be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them One professor of music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than ordinary performers, often because their parents had recognized their ability These musicians then needed at least ten years’ hard work and training in order to reach the level they were capable of attaining People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice: + Marry an intelligent person + Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents * Start a child's education early but avoid pushing the child too hard * Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instruments is essential for a child who wants to become an outstanding musician The upbringing of highly intelligent children requires A wealthy and loving parents B an expensive education C good musical instruments D parental support and encouragement The word "others" used in the first paragraph refers to A other people B other scientists C other geniuses D other children When scientists studied intelligence and ability in twins, they found that A ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement B different twins generally have different levels of ability C intelligence and development are unnecessarily relevant to ability D ability depends both on intelligence and on environment Scientists chose twins for their study because P A they have the same genetic background usually with similar intelligence B they are born into the same family, hence the same upbringing C each twin has the same environment as his/her twin D they have the same economic background and hence the same opportunities How were great musicians different from ordinary musicians in their development? A They concentrated on music to the exclusion of other areas B Their ability was realized at an early stage and then nurtured € They practice playing their instruments for many years D They were exceptionally intelligent and artistic The writer advises that gifted children should be allowed to follow A only their interests in computer games B their own interests v2 \e vo v ` SẼ = C their parents' interests D only their interests in musical instruments A permitting them to follow their own interests C pushing their children too hard B letting them play their own way D starting their education at an early age When encouraging their gifted children, parents should avoid The remark: "To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel." in the passage means that in order to become a genius A you need intelligence and you need to develop it B you must nourish your brain and train your muscles hard C you need to have good health and good nourishment D you should try to move quickly and efficiently The word "favorable" in the passage mostly means A "helping somebody to be more intelligent compared to other people" B "of high quality or an acceptable standard" C "good for someone and making hin/ her likely to be successful" D "under the control or in the power of somebody else" 10 All of the following statements are true EXCEPT LUYEN TH!
