FAMILY LIFE IN THE UNITED STATES

Family life in the United States is changing Fifty or sixty years ago, the wife was called a

“housewife” She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children The husband earned the mo ney for the family

He was usually out working all day He came home tired in the evening, so he did not do much housework And

he did not see the children very much, except on weekends

These days, however, more and more women work outside the home They cannot stay with the childrenall day They, too, come home tired in the evening They do not want to spend the evening cooking dinner and

cleaning up They do not have time to clean the house and do the laundry So who is going to do the housework

Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it In these families, the husband and wife agree to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job For example, the husband alwayscooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry Or the wife cooks dinner on some nights and the husband cooks dinner on other nights

Parents may get another kind of help form the companies they work for Many companies now let people with children work part-time That way, parents can spend mo re time with their children

word: they are called “househusbands” In the USA more and more men are becoming househusbands

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 questions below.

Because writing has become so important in our culture, we sometimes think of it as more real thanspeech A little thought, however, will show w hy speech is primary and writing secondary to language.Human beings have been writing (as far as we can tell from surviving evidence) for at least 5000 years; but theyhave been talking for much longer, doubtless ever since there have been human beings

When writing did develop, it was derived from and represented speech, although imperfectly.Even today there are spoken languages that have no written form Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before

we learn to write; any human child who is not severely handicapped physically or mentally will learn totalk: a normal human being cannot be prevented from doing so On the other hand, it takes a special effort tolearn to write In the past many intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill, andeven today many who speak languages with writing systems never learn to read or write, while somewho learn the rudiments of those skills do so only imperfectly

To affirm the primacy of speech over writing is not, however, to disparage the latter One

advantage writing has over speech is that it is more permanent and makes possible the records that any

civilization must have Thus, if speaking makes us human, writing makes us civilized

A is represented perfectly by speech B represents speech, but not perfectly

C developed from imperfect speech D is imperfect, but less so than speech

Câu 46: Normal human beings .

A learn to talk after learning to write B learn t o write before learning to talk

C learn to write and to talk at the same time D learn to talk before learning to write

Câu 47: Learning to write is .

A easy B too difficult C not easy D very easy

Câu 48: In order to show that learning to write requires effort, the author gives the example of

C intelligent people who couldn’t write D people who speak many languages

Câu 49: In the author’s judgment, .

to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon People of different cultures are more prone to contact certain

illnesses because of the characteristic foods they consume

nitrites (commonly used to preserve color in meat) as well as other food additives caused cancer Yet, these

carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which ingredients

on the packaging label of processed food are helpful or harmful

The additives that we eat are not all so direct Farmers often give penicillin to cattle and poultry, and because ofthis, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows

Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviors It is common

to think of learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human learning

occurs outside the classroom, and people continue to learn throughout their lives

Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to manipulatetoys, food, and other objects They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells intheir environments They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, friends, and other people important

to their world When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, andmathematics They also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom They learn which behaviors arelikely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished They learn social skills for interacting with otherchildren After they finish school, people must learn to adapt to the many major changes that affect their lives,such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job

Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study oflearning is important in many different fields Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children

Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to understand how certainexperiences change people’s behaviors Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles oflearning to influence the behavior of workers, voters, and consumers.

Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain Psychologistswho study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how

the brain later retrieves knowledge when we need it In contrast, psychologists who study learning are more

interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person’s experiences

There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex Simple forms of learning involve a

single stimulus A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste In

a form of learning known as classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence,such as lightning followed by thunder In operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between

a behavior and its consequences (reward or punishment) People and animals can also learn by observation that is, by watching others perform behaviors More complex forms of learning include learning languages,concepts, and motor skills

"Excuse me." Americans like to look the other person in the eyes when they are talking If you don't do so, it means you are bored, hiding something, or are not interested But when you stare at someone, it is not polite For Americans, thumbs-

up means yes, very good, or well done Thumbs down means the opposite To call a waiter, raise one hand to head level or

answer to each of the questions from 37 to 43.

In early civilization, citizens were educated informally, usually within the family unit Education meantsimply learning to live As civilization became more complex, however, education became more formal,

structured, and comprehensive Initial efforts of the ancient Chinese and Greek societies concentrated solely onthe education of males The post-Babylonian Jews and Plato were exceptions to this pattern Plato wasapparently the first significant advocate of the equality of the sexes Women, in his ideal state, would have thesame rights and duties and the same educational opportunities as men This aspect of Platonic philosophy,however, had little or no effect on education for many centuries, and the concept of a liberal education for menonly, which had been espoused by Aristotle, prevailed.

In ancient Rome, the availability of an education was radually extended to women, but they were taughtseparately from men The early Christians and medieval Europeans continued this trend, and single-sex schoolsfor the privileged through classes prevailed through the Reformation period Gradually, however, education forwomen, in a separate but equal basis to that provided for men, was becoming a clear responsibility of society.Martin Luther appealed for civil support of schools for all children Al the Council of Trent in the 16th century,the Roman Catholic Church encouraged the establishment of free primary schools for children of all classes.The concept of universal primary education, regardless of sex, had been born, but it was still in the realm of thesingle-sex school

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, co-education became a more widely applied principle of educationalphilosophy In Britain, Germany, and the Soviet Union the education of boys and girls in the same classesbecame an accepted practice Since World War II, Japan and the Scandinavian countries have also adoptedrelatively universal co-educational systems The greatest negative reaction to co-education has been felt in theteaching systems of the Latin countries, where the sexes have usually been separated at both primary andsecondary levels, according to local conditions

A number of studies have indicated that girls seem to perform better overall and in science in particular Insingle-sex classes, during the adolescent years, pressure to conform to stereotypical female gender roles maydisadvantage girls in traditionally male subjects, making them reluctant to volunteer for experimental workwhile taking part in lessons In Britain, academic league tables point to high standards achieved in girls’schools Some educationalists, therefore, suggest segregation of the sexes as a good thing, particularly in certainareas, and a number of schools are experimenting with the idea
