21st CENTURY TEACHERS: INEVITABLE CHANGES

Trang | 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

For centuries, time was measured by the position of the sun with the use of sundials Noon was

recognized when the sun was the highest in the sky, and cities would set their clock by this apparent solar time, even though some cities would often be on a slightly different time Daylight Saving Time (DST), sometimes called summer time, was instituted to make better use of daylight Thus, clocks are set forward one hour in the spring to move an hour of daylight from the morning to the evening and then set back one hour in the fall to return to normal daylight

Benjamin Franklin first conceived the idea of daylight saving during his tenure as an American delegate

in Paris in 1984 and wrote about it extensively in his essay, "An Economical Project." It is said that

Franklin awoke early one morning and was surprised to see the sunlight at such an hour Always the economist, Franklin believed the practice of moving the time could save on the use of candlelight, as candles were expensive at the time

In England, builder William Willett (1857–1915) became a strong supporter for Daylight Saving Time upon noticing blinds of many houses were closed on an early sunny morning Willet believed everyone, including himself, would appreciate longer hours of light in the evenings In 1909, Sir Robert Pearce

introduced a bill in the House of Commons to make it obligatory to adjust the clocks A bill was drafted

and introduced into Parliament several times but met with great opposition, mostly from farmers Eventually, in 1925, it was decided that summer time should begin on the day following the third Saturday in April and close after the first Saturday in October

The U.S Congress passed the Standard Time Act of 1918 to establish standard time and preserve and set

Daylight Saving Time across the continent This act also devised five time zones throughout the United

States: Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific, and Alaska The first time zone was set on "the mean

astronomical time of the seventy-fifth degree of longitude west from Greenwich" (England) In 1919, this act was repealed

President Roosevelt established year-round Daylight Saving Time (also called War Time) from 1942– 1945 However, after this period, each state adopted its own DST, which proved to be disconcerting to television and radio broadcasting and transportation In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson created the Department of Transportation and signed the Uniform Time Act As a result, the Department of

SHAYNE’S DREAMS COME TRUE - BUT WILL THEY BE SHATTERED?

It is a week before The X Factor live tour when I meet the winner of the series, Shayne Ward “It has

been mental,” he says, referring to the past six months of his life “I've just been talking to Louis Walsh

on the phone Louis Walsh!” Walsh, a top record producer and The X Factor judge, now manages Shayne’s career “I was talking to Simon Cowell (a celebrity record producer) yesterday!” He shakes his head in amazement And these people are telling me they're excited about working with me “I can't get

my head round it.”

Shayne is about as natural as any pop star arriving in the public arena can be “I just can’t accept where I am now” he says sincerely “It doesn't feel real To me, this is just a job.” “What you think being famous feels like?” I ask him “I'm not sure, to be honest Different from this?” he laughs, with only a hint of nerves Since winning The X Factor, Shayne's success has been phenomenal His debut single took just three days to reach the number one spot On tour, he's going to play to audiences of 10,000 on average He has already brought the house down at a gig in his home city “I walked out after that

performance and just thought, “I’m dreaming!”” Shayne is one of a family of seven children Times were hard, but he has never wished or a different childhood Although he thought about going to college, he ended up leaving school at sixteen, just to help his mother pay the rent He set out on his reality show journey shortly afterwards When he told he friends he had an audition for The X Factor, none of them really believed him “I thought I’d go fot it because my family wanted me to, but I never really believed that I would win.”

Naturally, Ward is a fan of reality TV talent shows “They're brilliant, because people who want recording contracts try for years and get nowhere Then these competitions come along the people at home decide whether they like the singers or not So its not just a few people at a record company deciding who gets a chance.” But the previous winner of The X Factor only had one hit He hasn't been

heard of since then Is Shayne Ward going to be another talent show flop?

A lot of people feel cynical about reality TV show winners and their chances of continuing success Audiences usually lose interest in them as soon as the show has finished In fact, contestants on shows like Big Brother are given severe warnings from the show’s producers beforehand, basically telling them “you will not be liked” Talent shows like The X Factor have to offer contestants a kind of stardom though, and something they can think of as a career, months afterwards at least

The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding They may hide in a shower stall, under a bed or in a closet The second is TV They often turn the volume up It’s hard to get statistics on latchkey children, the Longs have learned Most parents are slow to admit that they leave their children alone

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions from 43 to 50

A folk culture is small, isolated, cohesive, conservative, nearly self-sufficient group that is homogeneous in custom and race, with a strong family or clan structure and highly developed rituals

Order is maintained through sanctions based in the religion or family, and interpersonal relationships are strong Tradition is paramount, and change comes infrequently and slowly There is relatively little division of labor into specialized duties Rather, each person is expected to perform a great variety of tasks, though duties may differ between the sexes Most goods are handmade, and a subsistence economy prevails Individualism is weakly developed in folk cultures, as are social classes Unaltered folk cultures no longer exist in industrialized countries such as the United States and Canada Perhaps the nearest

modern equivalent in Anglo-America is the Amish, a German American farming sect that largely

renounces the products and labor saving devices of the industrial age In Amish areas, horse-drawn buggies till serve as a local transportation device, and the faithful are not permitted to own automobiles The Amish’s central religious concept of Demut, “humility”, clearly reflects the weakness of

individualism and social class so typical of folk cultures, and there is a corresponding strength of Amish group identity Rarely the Amish marry outside their sect The religion, a variety of the Mennonite faith, provides the principal mechanism for maintaining order

By contrast, a popular culture is a large heterogeneous group, often highly individualistic and constantly changing Relationships tend to be impersonal, and a pronounced division of labor exists, leading to the establishment of many specialized professions Secular institutions, of control such as the police and

army take the place of religion and family in maintaining order, and a money-based economy prevails

Trang | 17 The popular is replacing the folk in industrialized countries and in many developing nations, Folk-made

objects give way to their popular equivalent, usually because the popular item is more quickly or cheaply produced, is easier or time saving to use, or lends more prestige to the owner

A. Two decades in modern society

B. The influence of industrial technology

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

You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their actions This is useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond to them

Emotions have evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to others

But does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? Much research on emotional expressions has centered on such questions

According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and understand substantially the same "facial language" Studies by Ekman's group have demonstrated that humans share a set of universal emotional expressions that testify to the common biological heritage of the human species Smiles, for example, signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people in such far- flung places as Argentina, Japan, Spain, Hungary, Poland , Sumatra ,the United States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea , and the Eskimo villages north of Artic Circle Ekman and his colleagues claim that people everywhere can recognize at least seven basic emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and surprise There are, however, huge differences across cultures in both the context and intensity of emotional displays - the so called display rules In many Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses - especially negative ones- while many American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly Regardless of culture, however, emotions usually show themselves, to some degree , in people's behavior From their first days of life, babies produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings

Trang | 21 basic set of human emotions Moreover, as Charles Darwin pointed out over a century ago, some

emotional expressions seem to appear across species boundaries Cross - cultural psychologists tell us that certain emotional responses carry different meanings in different cultures For example, what emotion you suppose might be conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, this might indicate disgust, while in China it can signify surprise Likewise, a grin on an American face may indicate joy, while on a Japanese face it may just as easily mean embarrassment Clearly, culture influences emotional expressions

A. developed B. simplified C. increased D. reduced

A. raising the eyebrows has similar meaning to rounding the mouth

Marriage nowadays is a choice people make on their own, but this has not always been the case in

society Thousands of years ago, the average lifespan was shorter than it is today A man usually lived

until he was about 40 years old, while women died even sooner because of childbirth There were many wars and illnesses, and people had to protect themselves by having more children while they were still young The parents lived through their children

Marriage was not so much a romantic love story but a business transaction, or deal Most marriages were arranged between parents while their children were still very young It was the custom that the fathers made the decision on whom their children were going to marry The mothers had little say in it since they rarely made any decisions outside the household The fathers would meet to arrange the wedding date and the money given for the bride on her wedding date The more money and land a girl had, the more

chances she had to marry well Therefore, it was important that her father choose the bridegroom very

well Usually, it was someone who came from a good family or who was rich too It was very unlikely that people married outside their social class A few well-off and rich merchants got to marry poorer noblewomen and became King’s business advisors In a way, poor peasants had an easier choice as it was less important whom they married

Trang | 53

It's called 42 - the name taken from the answer to the meaning of life, from the science fiction series The

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 42 was founded by French technology billionaire Xavier Niel, whose

backing means there are no tuition fees and accommodation is free Mr Niel and his co-founders come

from the world of technology and start-ups, and they are trying to to education what Facebook did to

communication and Airbnb to accommodation

Students at 42 are given a choice of projects that they might be set in a job as a software engineer -

perhaps to design a website or a computer game They complete a project using resources freely

available on the Internet and by seeking help from their fellow students, who work alongside them in a

large open- plan room full of computers Another student will then be randomly assigned to mark their work

The founders claim this method of learning makes up for shortcomings in the traditional education system, which they say encourages students to be passive recipients of knowledge "Peer-to-peer learning develops students with the confidence to search for solutions by themselves, often in quite creative and ingenious ways."

Like in computer games, the students are asked to design and they go up a level by completing a project They graduate when they reach level 21, which usually takes three to five years And at the end, there is a certificate but no formal degree Recent graduates are now working at companies including IBM,

Trang | 55 "The feedback we have had from employers is that our graduates are more apt to go off and find out

information for themselves, rather than asking their supervisors what to next," says Brittany Bir, chief operating officer of 42 in California and a graduate of its sister school in Paris Ms Bir says 42's graduates will be better able to work with others and discuss and defend their ideas - an important skill in the "real world" of work "This is particularly important in computer programming, where individuals are

notorious for lacking certain human skills," she says

But could 42's model of teacherless learning work in mainstream universities? Brittany Bir admits 42's methods not suit all students "It suits individuals who are very disciplined and self-motivated, and who are not scared by having the freedom to work at their own pace," she says

(Adapted from http://www.bbc.com/news/business-37694248)

Question 33: According to the passage, 42 is

A an innovation in technology B a tool of virtual communication

C a type of accommodation D a kind of school

Question 34: The word "them" in paragraph refers to

B. a free resource available on the Internet

C.a choice of assignment that students at 42 have to complete

D.a help that students at 42 get for their work
