The principal difference between urban growth in Europe and in the North American colonies was the slow evolution(sự phát triển) of cities in the former(lúc đầu) and their rapid growth in the latter
In Europe they grew over a period of centuries from town economies to their present urban structure In North
America, they started as wilderness communities and developed to mature urbanism’s in little more than a century.
In the early colonial days in North America, small cities sprang up along the Atlantic Coastline, mostly in what are now New England and the Middle Atlantic states in the United States and in the lower Saint Lawrence valley in
Trang 2Canada This was natural because these areas were nearest England and France, particularly England, from which most capital goods ( assets(tài sản), such as equipment) and many consumer goods were imported
Merchandising(nghề buôn bán) establishments were, accordingly, advantageously located in port cities from
which goods could be readily distributed to interior settlements(khu dân cư) Here, too, were the favored locations for processing raw ,materials prior(ưu tiên) to export Boston, Philadelphia, New York, Montreal , and other cities flourished, and as the colonies grew, these cities increased in importance
This was less true in the colonial South, where life centered around large farms, known as plantations, rather than around towns, as was the case in the areas further north along the Atlantic coastline The local isolation and the economic self-sufficiency of the plantations were antagonistic(đối ngược) to the development of the towns The plantations
maintained their independence because they were located on navigable(thích hợp cho tàu bè qua lại) streams and each had
a wharf (cầu tàu) accessible(tới) to the small shipping of that day In fact, one of the strongest factors in the selection of plantation land was the desire to have it front on a water highway
When the United States became an independent nation in 1776, it did not have a single city as large as 50,000
inhabitants, but by 1820 it had a city of more than 100,000 people, and by 1880 it had recorded a city of over one
million It was not until after 1823, after the mechanization(cơ giới hóa) of the spinning(tơ sợi) and weaving industries,
that cities started drawing young people away from farms Such migration was particularly rapid following the Civil War
( 1861- 1865)

According to sociologists, there are several different ways in which a person may become recognized as the leader of a social group in the United States In the family, traditional cultural patterns confer(giao) leadership on one or both of the parents In other cases, such as friendship groups, one or more persons may gradually emerge(nổi bật) as leaders, although there is no formal process of selection In larger groups, leaders are usually chosen formally through election or recruitment(tuyển)
Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ability, decades of research have failed to
produce consistent evidence that there is any category of “natural leaders” It seems that there is no set of personal
qualities that all leaders have in common ; rather, virtually any person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular group
Furthermore, although it is commonly supposed that social groups have a single leader, research suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different individuals Instrumental leadership is
leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social group Group members look to instrumental leaders to “
Trang 3get things done” Expressive leadership ,on the other hand, is leadership that emphasizes the collective well- beings of a
social group’s members Expressive leaders are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing
emotional support to group members and attempting to minimize tension and conflict among them Group members
expect expressive leaders to maintain stable relationships within the group and provide support to individual members
Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group members They give others
and may discipline group members who inhibit(hạn chế) attainment(cái đạt đc) of the group’s goals Expressive leaders cultivate(gq) a more personal or primary relationship to others in the group They offer sympathy when someone
experiences difficulties or is subjected to discipline, are quick to lighten a serious moment with humor, and try to resolve
issues that threaten to divide the group As the difference in these two roles suggest, expressive leaders generally receive more personal affection from group members; instrumental leaders, if they are successful in promoting group goals, may enjoy a more distant respect
36 What does the passage mainly discuss?
a The problems faced by leaders b How leadership differs in Small and large groups
c How social groups determine who will lead them d The role of leaders in social groups.
37 The passage mentions all of the following ways by which people can become leaders EXCEPT
a recruitment b formal election process c specific leadership training d traditional cultural patterns
38 In mentioning “ natural leaders” the author is making the point that
a few people qualify as “ natural leaders” b there is no proof that “ natural leaders” exist
c “ natural leaders are easily accepted by the members of a group
d “ natural leaders” share a similar set of characteristics
39 Which of the following statements about leadership can be inferred from paragraph 2?
a A person who is an effective leader of a particular group may not be an effective leader in another group.
b Few people succeed in sharing a leadership role with another person
c A person can best learn how to be an effective leader by studying research on leadership
d Most people desire to be leaders but can produce little evidence of their qualifications
40 The passage indicates that instrumental leaders generally focus on
a ensuring harmonious relationships b sharing responsibility with group members
c identifying new leaders d achieving a goal.

42 The word “ them” refers to

characterized as
a distant b enthusiastic c unreliable d personal
44 The word “ resolve” is closest in meaning to
a avoid repeating b talk about c avoid thinking about d find a solution for
