Your animal or hobby may be perceived in a completely different light in another culture so it’s important to consider the significance given to specific animals in different parts of the world and general perceptions towards them One example which is often mentioned in popular press is the case of dogs In some cultures, like the US or UK, dogs are loved and considered a great pet to have at home and with the family In other cultures, such as those where Islam is the majority religion, dogs may be perceived as dirty or dangerous Muslims treatment of dogs is still a matter of debate amongst Islamic scholars, while these animals are widely considered by many Western cultures to be “mans best friend”, the Koran describes them as “unhygienic” Muslims will therefore avoid touching a dog unless he can wash his hands immediately afterwards, and they will almost never keep a dog in their home In Iran, for instance, a cleric once denounced “the moral depravity” of dog owners and even demanded their arrest If you are an international assignee living and working in Saudi Arabia or another Arabic country, you should remember this when inviting Arab counterparts to your house in case you have a dog as a pet This is just one example of how Islam and other cultural beliefs can impact on aspects of everyday life that someone else may not even question A Middle Eastern man might be very surprised when going to Japan, for instance, and seeing dogs being dressed and pampered like humans and carried around in baby prams! Dogs are not the only animals which are perceived quite differently from one culture to another In India, for example, cows are sacred and are treated with the utmost respect Conversely in Argentina, beef is a Trang symbol of national pride because of its tradition and the high quality of its cuts An Indian working in Argentina who has not done his research or participated in a cross cultural training programme such as Doing Business in Argentina may be surprised at his first welcome dinner with his Argentinean counterparts where a main dish of beef would be served It is therefore crucial to be aware of the specific values assigned to objects or animals in different cultures to avoid faux-pas or cultural misunderstandings, particularly when living and working in another culture Learning how people value animals and other symbols around the world is one of the numerous cultural examples discussed in Communicaid’s intercultural training courses Understanding how your international colleagues may perceive certain animals can help you ensure you aren’t insensitive and it may even provide you with a good topic for conversation (Source: https //www.communicaid.com) Question 43 What does the author suggest in the last paragraph? A Talking about different perceptions with others will help you overcome insensitivity B To avoid cultural shocks, people should not live or work in another culture C It’s important to value the objects or animals in different countries before going there D Understanding different perceptions of animals will help you avoid faux-pas in another nation Question 44 According to paragraph 2, which sentence is INCORRECT? A The dog is a typical example of different views in the world about animals B Dogs are well-treated and loved in the US and UK C Muslims are those considering dogs as their best pets at home D People whose religion is Islam don’t like having dogs in their home Question 45 The word “unhygienic” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to A unhealthy B undependable C unreliable D unacceptable Question 46 What does the word “this” in paragraph refer to? A you are an international assignee B you are having a dog as pet C a cleric once denounced the moral depravity of dog owners and even demanded their arrest D you are living and working in Saudi Arabia or another Arabic country Question 47 The author mentioned cows in paragraph as an example of A the animals that are differently perceived in numerous cultures B sacred animals in Argentina C a symbol of a nation for its high quality of nutrients D which may cause surprise for Argentinian people at dinner Question 48 which of the following could be the main idea of the passage?

A your lady B women C yourself D a flower dictionary Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the question Plastic bags are used by everybody From a vegetable vendor to a designer store, everyone seems to use them Even though they are one of the modern conveniences that we seem to be unable to without, they are responsible for causing pollution, killing wildlife, and using up the precious resources of the Earth But, most of us are blissfully unaware of the repercussions that are occurring and will take place in the future because of the plastic bags Every once in a while, the government passes out an order banning store owners from providing plastic bags to customers for carrying their purchases, with little lasting effect Plastic bags are very popular with both retailers as well as consumers because they are cheap, strong, lightweight, functional, as well as a hygienic means of carrying food as well as other goods About a hundred billion plastic bags are used Trang every year in the U.S alone And then, when one considers the huge economies and populations of India, China, Europe, and other parts of the world, the numbers can be staggering The problem is further exacerbated by the developed countries shipping off their plastic waste to developing countries like India Once they are used, most bags go into landfills Each year, more and more bags are ending up littering the environment Once they become litter, plastic bags find their way into our waterways, parks, beaches, and streets And, if they are burned, they infuse the air with toxic fumes About 100,000 animals, such as dolphins, turtles, whales, penguins are killed every year due to these bags Many animals ingest plastic bags, mistaking them for food, and therefore, die And worse, the ingested plastic bag remains intact even after the death and decomposition of the animal Thus, it lies around in the landscape where another victim may ingest it One of the worst environmental effects is that they are non-biodegradable The decomposition takes about 400 years No one will live so long to witness the decomposition of plastic! Thus, save the environment for the future generations as well as animals Petroleum products are diminishing and getting more expensive by the day, since we have used this nonrenewable resource increasingly And to make plastic, about 60-100 million barrels of oil are needed every year around the world Surely, this precious resource should not be wasted on producing plastic bags, should it? Petroleum is vital for our modern way of life It is necessary for our energy requirements - for our factories, transportation, heating, lighting, and so on Without viable alternative sources of energy yet on the horizon, if the supply of petroleum were to be turned off, it would lead to practically the entire world grinding to a halt So, what can be done? A tote bag can make a good substitute for carrying groceries and the shopping You can keep the bag with the cashier, and then put your purchases into it instead of the usual plastic bag Recycling the bags you already have is another good idea These can come into use for various purposes, like holding your garbage, instead of purchasing new ones While governments may be working out ways to lessen the impact of plastic bags on the environment; however, each of us should shoulder some of the responsibility for this problem, which ultimately harms us Plastics are not only non-biodegradable, but are one of the major pollutants of the sea For a clean and green environment, try to use alternatives to plastic whenever and wherever possible Cut down your use of plastic, and your bit to save our planet (Source: https://helpsavenature.com/) Câu 35 Which of the following could be the best tittle of the passage?
