Most forms of property are concrete and tangible, such as houses, cars, furniture or anything elsethat 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 establishesthe 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 articlesbelongs to the authors, publishers, or other individuals or organizations that hold the copyright Tocopy an entire book or a part of it, permission must be received from the copyright owner, who willmost 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 arepublished in a book, a painting or a musical work Almost all artistic work created before the 20thcentury 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 payingroyalties to the creator Technological innovations have made piracy easy and anyone can duplicate amotion picture on videotape, a computer program, or a book Video cassette recorders can be used bypractically 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

C Examples of copyright piracy D Copying creating work for profit

Question 46: The word “extended” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _

A explicated B exposed C guaranteed D granted

A the user’s ability to enjoy an artistic work B the creator’s ability to profit from the work

C paintings and photographs from theft D computer software and videos from being

copied

A crucial point B cardinal role C fundamental rule D formidable force Question 49 : Which of the following properties is NOT mentioned as protected by copyright?

MOBILE PHONES: ARE THEY ABOUT TO TRANSFORM OUR LIVES?

We love them so much that some of us sleep with them under the pillow, yet we are increasinglyconcerned that we cannot escape their electronic reach We use them to convey our most intimatesecrets, yet we worry that they are a threat to our privacy We rely on them more than the Internet tocope with modern life, yet many of us don’t believe advertisements saying we need more advancedservices

Sweeping aside the doubts that many people feel about the benefits of new third generation phonesand fears over the health effects of phone masts, a recent report claims that the long-term effects ofnew mobile technologies will be entirely positive so long as the public can be convinced to make use

of them Research about users of mobile phones reveals that the mobile has already moved beyond

being a mere practical communications tool to become the backbone of modern social life, from loveaffairs to friendship to work

The close relationship between user and phone is most pronounced among teenagers, the report

says, who regard their mobiles as an expression of their identity This is partly because mobiles areseen as being beyond the control of parents But the researchers suggest that another reason may bethat mobiles, especially text messaging, were seen as a way of overcoming shyness The impact of

phones, however, has been local rather than global, supporting existing friendship and networks,

rather than opening users to a new broader community Even the language of texting in one area can

be incomprehensible to anybody from another area

Among the most important benefits of using mobile phones, the report claims, will be a vastlyimproved mobile infrastructure, providing gains throughout the economy, and the provision of amore sophisticated location-based services for users The report calls on government to put moreeffort into the delivery of services by mobile phone, with suggestion including public transport andtraffic information and doctors’ text messages to remind patients of appointments There are manypossibilities At a recent trade fair in Sweden, a mobile navigation product was launched When theuser enters a destination, a route is automatically downloaded to their mobile and presented byvoices, pictures and maps as they drive In future, these devices will also be able to plan aroundcongestion and road works in real time Third generation phones will also allow for remotemonitoring of patients by doctors In Britain, scientists are developing an asthma managementsolution using mobiles to detect early signs of an attack

Mobile phones can be used in education A group of teachers in Britain use third generation phones

to provide fast internet service to children who live beyond the reach of terrestrial broadbandservices and can have no access to online information ‘As the new generation of mobiletechnologies takes off, the social potential will vastly increase,’ the report argues

and ruled by stealth Yet they are not emaciated.

Having adapted to their austere environment, they are as healthy as animals anywhere else in the word The secret of their adjustment lies in the combination of behavior and physiology None could survive if, like mad dogs and Englishmen, they went out in the midday sun; many would die in a matter of minutes So most of them pass the burning hours asleep in cool, humid

At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the American educational system was desperately (liều khẩn) in need of reform Private schools existed, but only for the very rich There were

themselves for their life’s work It was in the face of this public sentiment that educational

reformers set about their task Horace Mann, probably the most famous of the reformers, felt that there was no excuse in a republic for any citizen to be uneducated As Superintendent

(quản lí) of Education in the state of Massachusetts from 1837 to 1848, he initiated various changes, which were soon matched in other school districts around the country He extended the school year from five to six months and improved the quality of teachers by instituting teacher education and raising teacher salaries Although these changes did not bring about a sudden improvement in the educational system, they at least increased public awareness as to the need for a further strengthening of the system.

Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child’s upbringing can give it theability to do outstandingly well Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it is

simply something a person is born with Others, however, argue that the potential for great

achievement can be developed The truth lies somewhere between these two extremes

It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase achild’s ability to do well However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing andopportunities As one psychologist says, “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel.”Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical twins thatwere separated shortly after birth and brought up by different parents They found that achievementwas based on intelligence, and later influenced by the child’s environment One case involving veryintelligent twins was quoted One of the twins received a normal upbringing, and performed well Theother twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportive parents and given every possibleopportunity 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 otherwords, it does not matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect intelligence Giftedpeople cannot be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them One professor ofmusic said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than ordinaryperformers, often because their parents had recognized their ability These musicians then needed atleast ten years’ hard work and training in order to reach the level they were capable of attaining Peoplewho want to have very gifted children are given the following advice:

- Marry an intelligent person

Read the following passage, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer

History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927 But sound

films, or talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings From the earliest public

performances in 1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects These were produced by asingle pianist, a small band, or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effectmachines Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly at the same time as the pictures - called

"synchronized sound" – began soon after the very first films were shown With synchronized sound,characters on the movie screen could sing and speak As early as 1896, the newly inventedgramophone, which played a large disc carrying music and dialogue, was used as a sound system Thebiggest disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could become unsynchronized if, for example, thegramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the projector changed This system was only effective for

a single song or dialogue sequence.

In the "sound-on-film" system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could be

read by an optical sensor These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image, guaranteeing

synchronization Short feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922 This systemeventually brought us "talking pictures"
