shows that an unequal share of household chores is still the norm in many households, despite the fact that many more women now have jobs In a survey of 1,256 people ages between18 and 65, men said they contributed an average of 37 per cent of the total housework, while the women estimated their share to be nearly double that, at 70 per cent This ratio was not affected by whether the woman was working or not When they were asked what they thought was a fair division of labor, women with jobs felt that housework should be shared equally between male and female partners Women who did not work outside the home were satisfied to perform 80 per cent - the majority of the household work - if their husbands did the remainder Research has shown that, if levels increase beyond these percentages, women become unhappy and anxious, and feel they are unimportant After marriage, a woman is reported to increase her household workload by 14 hours per week, but for men the amount is just 90 minutes So the division of labor becomes unbalanced, as a man's share increases much less than the woman's It is the inequality and loss of respect, not the actual number of hours, which leads to anxiety and depression The research describes housework as thankless and unfulfilling Activities included in the study were cooking, cleaning, shopping, doing laundry, washing-up and childcare Women who have jobs report that they feel overworked by these chores in addition to their professional duties In contrast, full-time homemakers frequently anticipate going back to work when the children grow up Distress for this group is caused by losing the teamwork in the marriage Question 24: The word “remainder” in paragraph is closest in meaning to _ A what is left B what is done C what is fulfilled D what is shared Question 25: Although women think men should share the housework, those who not have a paid job share _ of the chores A 37 per cent B 70 per cent C 80 per cent D 14 per cent Question 26: After getting married, _ A men less housework B women twice as much housework C men more housework D women have a bigger house Question 27: Women who not have jobs become depressed _ A if their husbands 20 per cent of the chores B if they have to more than half of the housework C because they have no self-respect D when their husbands not help them Question 28: The word “norm” in paragraph is closest in

indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 31 to 35 Early writing and Alphabets When people first began to write, they did not use an alphabet Instead, they drew small pictures to (31) the objects they were writing about This was very slow because there was a different picture for any word The Ancient Egyptians had a (32) of picture writing that was described hieroglyphics The meaning of this writing was forgotten for a very long time but in 1799 some scientists discovered a stone near Alexandria, in Egypt The stone had been there for (33) a thousand years It had both Greek and hieroglyphics on it and researchers were finally able to understand what the hieroglyphics meant An alphabet is quite different (34) picture writing It consists of letters or symbols that represent a sound and each sound is just part of one word The Phoenicians, who lived about 3,000 years ago, developed the modern alphabets It was later improved by the Roman‘s and this alphabet is now used (35) throughout the world Question 31: A notice Question 32: A practice Question 33: A quite Question 34: A at Question 35: A broadly B show B manner B more B from B

answer to each of the questions from 36 to 43 In the primary school, a child is in a comparatively simple setting and most of the time forms a relationship with one familiar teacher On entering secondary school, a new world opens up and frequently it is a much more difficult world The pupil soon learns to be less in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils He begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need for a more cautions approach in the secondary school where there are older pupils Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressures of academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk Teachers with specialist roles may see hundreds of children in week and a pupil may be able to form relationships with very few of the staff He has to decide which adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every young person from the first year what guidance and personal help is available- but whether the reality of life in the institution actually encourages requests for help is another matter Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to a child He sees a great deal of movement, a great number of people-often rather frightening looking people- and realises that an increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made As he progresses through the school the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions required will increase The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the first steps to obtain the help he needs, for this is the pattern of adult life for which he has to be prepared, but all the time the opportunities for personal and group advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy to understand and within easy reach of pupils Question 36 According to the passage one of the problems for pupils entering secondary school is that _ A they are taught by many different teachers B they not attend lessons in every subject C the teachers not want to be friendly © Đỗ Bình – THPT Liễn Sơn, Lập Thạch, Vĩnh Phúc – www.violet.vn/quocbinh72 Trang 3/4 D the teachers give most attention to the more academic pupils Question 37 The teachers at secondary school not talk much to the pupils because _ A they want to keep a certain distance with the pupils C the pupils are afraid of them B they are too busy with their academic work D it is the regulation of the school Question 38 In secondary schools every pupil having problems should _ A know how to ask for help B be freed from any pressure of academic work C be able to discuss his problems in class D be able to discuss his problems with any teacher Question 39 What will the school rightly expect the pupils to do? A they study hard B they think carefully C they understand well D they firstly obtain the help Question 40 The word “adults” in the second paragraph (underlined) refers to _ A the pupils at secondary school B the secondary pupils parents C the staff at secondary school D the teachers and pupils at secondary school Question 41 How many pupils teachers see in a week?
