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 from 30 to 34.

Body language is a vital form of communication. In fact, it is believed that the various forms of body language contribute about 70 percent to our comprehension. It is important to note, however, that body language varies in different cultures. Take for example, eye movement. In the USA a child is expected to look directly at a parent or teacher who is scolding him/her. In other cultures the opposite is true. Looking directly at a teacher or parent in such a situation is considered a sign of disrespect.

Another form of body language that is used differently, depending on the culture, is distance. In North America people don't generally stand as close to each other as in South America. Two North Americans who don't know each other well will keep a distance of four feet between them, whereas South Americans in the same situation will stand two to three feet apart. North Americans will stand closer than two feet apart only if they are having a confidential conversation or if there is intimacy between them.

Gestures are often used to communicate. We point a finger, raise an eyebrow, wave an arm – or move any other part of the body – to show what we want to say. However, this does not mean that people all over the world use the same gestures to express the same meanings. Very often we find that the same gestures can communicate different meanings, depending on the country. An example of a gesture that could be misinterpreted is sticking out the tongue. In many cultures it is a sign of making a mistake, but in some

places it communicates ridicule.

The dangers of misunderstanding one another are great. Obviously, it is not enough to learn the language of another culture. You must also learn its non-verbal signals if you want to communicate successfully.

Which form of body language is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. posture

B. gesture

C. distance

D. eye movement

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

Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time. If corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's. In the same way, children learn all the other things they learn to do without being taught - to talk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle - compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.

If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can't find the way to get the right answer. Let's end all this nonsense of grades, exams, and marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.

Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one's life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say, "But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the world?" Don't worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it.

Dịch nghĩa: Tác giả lo rằng những đứa trẻ lớn lên sẽ trở thành những người lớn mà ________.

A. Không thể tự suy nghĩ

B. Quá phụ thuộc vào người khác

C. Không thể sử dụng những kĩ năng cơ bản

D. Qua khắt khe với bản thân

Giải thích: Tác giả phê bình việc chỉ ra lỗi sai của trẻ và sửa nó giúp trẻ. Như vậy có thể suy ra là nếu cứ tiếp tục như vậy thì khi lớn lên, không ai chỉ cho, nó sẽ không thể độc lập suy nghĩ. Dễ nhầm lẫn với B nhưng phương án B chỉ đúng khi còn nhỏ, nó phụ thuộc vào thầy cô và cha mẹ để giúp nó, còn khi trưởng thành thì kết quả là nó không suy nghĩ được, đáp án A.

Bài dịch

Hãy để trẻ em học cách tự đánh giá hoạt động của mình. Một đứa trẻ tập nói không học bằng cách lúc nào cũng được sửa lỗi sai. Nếu sửa quá nhiều, nó sẽ không nói nữa. Nó nhận ra những khác biệt trong ngôn ngữ nó sử dụng và ngôn ngữ những người xung quanh sử dụng hàng ngàn lần mỗi ngày. Dần dần, nó thay đổi để giống những người khác. Tương tự như thế, trẻ em học tất cả những điều mà chúng phải học để làm mà không hề được dạy - như là nói chuyện, chạy, leo trèo, huýt sáo, đi xe đạp - đối chiếu sự thể hiện của mình với cái của những người điêu luyện hơn và từ từ thực hiện những thay đổi cần thiết. Nhưng ở trường, chúng ta không bao giờ cho trẻ cơ hội để tìm ra những sai lầm của chính mình, để tự mình sửa chữa. Chúng ta làm tất cả cho lũ trẻ. Chúng ta hành động như thể chúng ta nghĩ rằng nó sẽ không bao giờ nhận ra lỗi sai nếu chúng ta không chỉ ra cho nó, hoặc nó sẽ không bao giờ sửa lỗi trừ khi nó bị bắt phải sửa. Chẳng bao lâu sau nó sẽ phụ thuộc vào giáo viên. Hãy để nó tự làm điều đó. Hãy để lũ trẻ tự tìm ra, với sự giúp đỡ của các bạn khác nếu nó cần, xem từ này nói gì, câu trả lời cho bài toán đó là gì, cho dù đó có phải là cách tốt nhất hay không. Nếu đó là một vấn để đúng hay sai, ví dụ như trong toán hoặc khoa học, hãy đưa cho đứa trẻ sách giải. Để cho trẻ tự chữa bài của chúng. Tại sao chúng ta, những giáo viên lại lãng phí thời gian cho những quyển sách bình thường hàng ngày như vậy? Công việc của chúng ta là giúp đỡ lũ trẻ khi chúng nói rằng chúng không thể tìm cách làm đúng. Hãy chấm dứt tất cả những thử ngớ ngẩn như điểm số, thi cử, chấm điểm. Hãy ném hết chúng đi, hãy để lũ trẻ học tất cả những gì mà một người có học phải học, cách để đánh giá mức độ hiểu biết, cách để biết xem chúng biết những gì và không biết những gì.

Hãy để chúng tiếp cận vấn để theo cách tốt nhất cho chúng, cộng thêm sự hỗ trợ từ giáo viên nếu chúng cần. Ý nghĩ về việc có một lượng kiến thức nhất định phải học ở trường để sử dụng trong suốt cuộc đời còn lại thật là vô lí trong một thế giới phức tạp và thay đổi nhanh chóng như hiện nay. Những ông bố bà mẹ và giáo viên lo lắng cho rằng: “Nhưng nếu lỡ chúng không học được những thứ thiết yếu, những thứ mà chúng sẽ cần để bước vào đời?” Không cần lo lắng, nếu nó thật sự cần thiết, chúng sẽ ra thế giới bên ngoài kia và tự học được.

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 from 36 to 43.

The difference between the nuclear family and the extended family is that a nuclear family refers to a single basic family unit of parents and their children, whereas the extended family refers to their relatives such as grandparents, in-laws, aunts and uncles, etc. In many cultures, and particularly indigenous societies, the latter is the most common basic form of social organization.

A nuclear family is limited, according to Kristy Jackson of Colorado State University, to one or two parents (e.g. a father and mother) and their own child, or children, living together in a single house or other dwellings. In anthropology, they only must be related in this fashion; there is no upper or lower limit on the number of children in a nuclear family.

The extended family is a much more nebulous term, but in essence refers to kin or relations not covered by the above definition. In historical Europe and Asia as well as in Middle Eastern, African, and South American Aboriginal cultures, extended family groups were typically the most basic unit of social organization, The term can differ in specific cultural settings, but generally includes people related in age or by lineage.

Anthropologically, the term "extended family" refers to such a group living together in a household, often with three generations living together (grandparents, parents, and children) and headed in patriarchal societies by the eldest man or by some other chosen leadership figure. However, in common parlance, the term "extended family" is often used by people simply to refer to their cousins, aunts, uncles, and so on, even though they are not living together in a single group.

What is the passage mainly about?

A. The dominance of nuclear families over extended ones

B. The dominance of extended families over nuclear ones

C. A distinction between nuclear families and extended ones

D. The changes of family types over times
