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 Some husbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children For these men there is a new
word: they are called “househusbands” In the USA more and more men are becoming househusbands
every year
These changes in the home mean changes in the family Fathers can learn to understand their children better, and the children can get to know their fathers better Husbands and wives may also find changes
in their marriage They, too, may have a better understanding of each other

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 than speech 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 to learn to write In the past many intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and even today many who speak languages with writing systems never learn to read or write, while some who 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
Câu 43: We sometimes think of writing as more real than speech because .
A writing is secondary to language
B human beings have been writing for at least 5000 years
C it has become very important in our culture

Câu 44: The author of the passage argues that .
A speech is more basic to language than writing
B writing has become too important in today’s society
C everyone who learns to speak must learn to write
D all languages should have a written form
Câu 45: According to the passage, writing .
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
Trang 6Câu 47: Learning to write is .
Câu 48: In order to show that learning to write requires effort, the author gives the example of
A people who learn the rudiments of speech B severely handicapped children
C intelligent people who couldn’t write D people who speak many languages
Câu 49: In the author’s judgment, .
A writing has more advantages than speech
B writing is more real than speech
C speech conveys ideas less accurately than writing does
D speech is essential but writing has important benefits
Câu 50: The word “advantage” in the last paragraph most closely means .
A “rudiments” B “skill” C “domination” D “benefit”

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 question from 36 to 43.
A number of factors related to the voice reveal the personality of the speaker.
The first is the broad area of communication, which includes imparting information by use of language, communicating with a group or an individual and specialized communication through performance A person conveys thoughts and ideas through choice of words, by a tone of voice that is pleasant or unpleasant, gentle or harsh, by the rhythm that is inherent within the language itself, and by speech rhythms that are flowing and regular or uneven and hesitant, and finally, by the pitch and melody of the utterance When speaking before a group, a person's tone may indicate uncertainty or fright, confidence or calm At interpersonal levels, the tone may reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen, or
may belie them Here the participant’s tone can consciously or unconsciously reflect intuitive sympathy or antipathy, lack
of concern or interest, fatigue, anxiety, enthusiasm or excitement, all of which are usually discernible by the acute listener Public performance is a manner of communication that is highly specialized with its own techniques for obtaining effects by voice and /or gesture The motivation derived from the text, and in the case of singing, the music, in combination with the performer's skills, personality, and ability to create empathy will determine the success of artistic, political, or pedagogic communication.
Second, the voice gives psychological clues to a person's self-image, perception of others, and emotional health image can be indicated by a tone of voice that is confident, pretentious, shy, aggressive, outgoing, or exuberant, to name only a few personality traits Also the sound may give a clue to the facade or mask of that person, for example, a shy person hiding behind an overconfident front How a speaker perceives the listener's receptiveness, interest, or sympathy in
Self-any given conversation can drastically alter the tone of presentation, by encouraging or discouraging the speaker
Emotional health is evidenced in the voice by free and melodic sounds of the happy, by constricted and harsh sound of the angry, and by dull and lethargic qualities of the depressed.

A The function of the voice in performance

Câu 37: What does the author mean by staring that, "At interpersonal levels, tone may reflect ideas and feelings over and
above the words chosen" ?

B The tone of voice can carry information beyond the meaning of words
C A high tone of voice reflects an emotional communication

Câu 39: Why does the author mention "artistic, political, or pedagogic communication" ?
A As examples of public performance

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 question from 44 to 50
The rules of etiquette in American restaurants depend upon a number of factors the physical location of the restaurant, e.g., rural or urban; the type of restaurant, e.g., informal or formal; and certain standards that are more universal In other words, some standards 5 of etiquette vary significantly while other standards apply almost anywhere Learning the proper etiquette in a particular type of restaurant in a particular area may sometimes require instruction, but more commonly it simply requires sensitivity and experience For example, while it is acceptable to read a magazine in a coffee shop, it is 10
Trang 16inappropriate to do the same in a more luxurious setting And, if you are eating in a very rustic setting it may be fine to tuck your napkin into your shirt, but if you are in a sophisticated urban restaurant this behavior would demonstrate a lack
of manners It is safe to say, however, that in virtually every restaurant it is unacceptable 15 to indiscriminately throw your food on the floor The conclusion we can most likely draw from the above is that while the types and locations of restaurants determine etiquette appropriate to them, some rules apply to all restaurants.
Câu 44: What topic is this passage primarily concerned?
A instruction in proper etiquette B rules of etiquette
C variable and universal standards of etiquette D the importance of good manners
Câu 45: According to the passage, which of the following is a universal rule of etiquette?
A reading a magazine at a coffee shop B not throwing food on the floor
C eating in rustic settings D tucking a napkin in your shirt
Câu 46: According to the passage, requires sensitivity and experience?
A reading a magazine at a coffee shop B not throwing food on the floor
C eating in rustic settings D tucking a napkin in your shirt
Câu 47: Which of the following words is most similar to the meaning of “rustic” ?
A urban B unsophisticated C agricultural D ancient
Câu 48: Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “tuck” in line 11?
Câu 49: The word “sophisticated” in line 12 could best be replaced by?
Câu 50: What is the author’s main purpose in this passage?
A to compare sophisticated and rustic restaurants
B to assist people in learning sophisticatedmanners
C to simplify rules of restaurant etiquette
D to describe variations in restaurant manners

Harvard University, today recognized as part of the top echelon of the world's universities, came from very
inauspicious and humble beginning
This oldest of American universities was founded in 1636, just sixteen years after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Included in the Puritan emigrants to the Massachusetts colony during this period were more than 100 graduates of
England's prestigious Oxford and Cambridge universities, and these universities graduates in the New Word were
determined that their sons would have the same educational opportunities that they themselves had had Because of this support in the colony for an institution of higher learning, the General
Court of Massachusetts appropriated 400 pounds for a college in October of 1636 and early the following year decided
on a parcel of land for the school; this land was in an area called Newetowne, which was later renamed Cambridge after its English cousin and is the site of the present-day university
When a young minister named John Harvard, who came from the neighboring town of Charlestowne, died from tuberculosis in 1638, he willed half of his estate of 1,700 pounds to the fledgling college In spite of the fact that only half
of the bequest was actually paid, the General Court named the college after the minister in appreciation for what he had done The amount of the bequest may not have been large, particularly by today's standard, but it was more than the General Court had found it necessary to appropriate in order to open the college
Trang 25Henry Dunster was appointed the first president of Harvard in 1640, and it should be noted that in addition to serving
as president, he was also the entire faculty, with an entering freshmen class of four students Although the staff did expand somewhat, for the first century of its existence the entire teaching staff consisted of the president and three or four tutors.

Câu 25: The pronoun "they" in the second paragraph refers to _

A units of money B college students C types of books D school campuses

A Someone else really served as president of Harvard before Henry Dunster

VIII-Read the following andmark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions from 37 to 43.
In early civilization, citizens were educated informally, usually within the family unit Education meant simply 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 on the education of males The post-Babylonian Jews and Plato were exceptions to this pattern Plato was apparently the first significant advocate of the equality of the sexes Women, in his ideal state, would have the same 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 men only, which had been espoused by Aristotle, prevailed.
In ancient Rome, the availability of an education was radually extended to women, but they were taught separately from men The early Christians and medieval Europeans continued this trend, and single-sex schools for the privileged through classes prevailed through the Reformation period Gradually, however, education for women, in a separate but equal basis to that provided for men, was becoming a clear responsibility of society Martin Luther appealed for civil
Trang 27support of schools for all children Al the Council of Trent in the 16 th 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 the single-sex school.
In the late 19 th and early 20 th centuries, co-education became a more widely applied principle of educational
philosophy In Britain, Germany, and the Soviet Union the education of boys and girls in the same classes became an accepted practice Since World War II, Japan and the Scandinavian countries have also adopted relatively universal co- educational systems The greatest negative reaction to co-education has been felt in the teaching systems of the Latin countries, where the sexes have usually been separated at both primary and secondary levels, according to local
conditions.
A number of studies have indicated that girls seem to perform better overall and in science in particular In single-sex classes, during the adolescent years, pressure to conform to stereotypical female gender roles may disadvantage girls in traditionally male subjects, making them reluctant to volunteer for experimental work while 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 certain areas, and a number of schools are experimenting with the idea.
Câu 37: Ancient education generally focused its efforts on .
A young people only B on male learners C both sexes D female learners
Câu 38: Education in early times was mostly aimed at .
A teaching skills B learning new lifestyles
C learning to live D imparting survival skills

Câu 40: The word “informally” in this context mostly refers to an education occurring .
A in a department B in classrooms C ability D outside the school
Câu 41: When education first reached women, they were .
A separated from men B locked up in a place with men
C deprived of opportunities D isolated from a normal life
Câu 42: When the concept of universal primary education was introduced, education .
A was intended for all the sexes B was intended for all the sexes
C was given free to all D focused on imparting skills
Câu 43: Co-education was negatively responded to in .
A conservative countries B Japan
C South American countries D the Scandinavian countries

it comes and goes in under a second The memory will not last longer than that unless the information enters the term memory.
short-Information can be held in the short-term memory for about twenty seconds or as long as you are actively using it If you repeat a fact to yourself, that fact will stay in your short-term memory as long as you keeprepeating it Once you stop repeating it, either it is forgotten or it moves into long term memory.
