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 35 to 42.

While watching sports on TV, the chances are children will see professional players cheating, having tantrums, fighting, or abusing officials. In addition, it’s highly likely that children will be aware of well-known cases of sportspeople being caught using drugs to improve their performance. The danger of all this is that it could give children the idea that winning is all that counts and you should win at all costs. Good behavior and fair play aren’t the message that comes across. Instead, it looks as if cheating and bad behavior are reasonable ways of getting what you want. This message is further bolstered by the fact that some of these sportspeople acquire enormous fame and wealth, making it seem they are being handsomely rewarded either despite or because of their bad behavior.

What can parents do about this? They can regard sport on television as an opportunity to discuss attitudes and behavior with their children. When watching sports together, if parents see a player swearing at the referee, they can get the child’s opinion on that behavior and discuss whether a player’s skill is more important than their behavior. Ask what the child thinks the player’s contribution to the team is. Point out that no player can win a team game on their own, so it’s important for members to work well together.

Another thing to focus on is what the commentators say. Do they frown on bad behavior from players, think it’s amusing or even consider it’s a good thing? What about the officials? If they let players get away with a clear foul, parents can discuss with children whether this is right and what effect it has on the game. Look too at the reactions of coaches and managers. Do they accept losing with good grace or scowl and show a bad attitude? Parents can use this to talk about attitudes to winning and losing and to remind children that both are part of sport.

However, what children learn from watching sports is by no means all negative and parents should make sure they accentuate the positives too. They should emphasise to children the high reputation that well-behaved players have, not just with their teammates but also with spectators and the media. They can focus on the contribution made by such players during a game, discussing how valuable they are in the team. In the interviews after a game, point out to a child that the well-behaved sportspeople don’t gloat when they win or sulk when they lose. And parents can stress how well these people conduct themselves in their personal lives and the good work they do for others when not playing. In other words, parents should get their children to focus on the positive role models, rather than the antics of the badly behaved but often more publicized players.

Which of the following about sport is NOT mentioned in the passage?: Câu nào về thể thao mà không được nhắc đến trong bài văn?

A. Misconduct from sportspeople may go unpunished despite the presence of officials: Hành vi cư xử xấu của người chơi thể thao có thể không bị phạt mặc dù có sự có mặt của người điều khiển trận đấu

B. A well-behaved player enjoys a good reputation among his teammates, spectators and the media: Một người chơi cư xử đẹp có uy tín đối với đồng đội, người xem và cả truyền thông

C. Reactions of coaches and managers when their teams lose a game may be of educational value: Phản ứng của huấn luyện viên và người quản lí khi đội của họ thua cuộc có thể có giá trị giáo dục

D. Many sportspeople help others so as to project good images of themselves: Rất nhiều người chơi giúp đỡ nhau để phô ra những hình ảnh tốt của bản thân

Dẫn chứng (đoạn 3): Another thing to focus on is what the commentators says. Do they frown on bad behavior from players, think it’s amusing or even consider it’s a good thing? What about the officials? If they let players get away with a clear foul, parents can discuss with children whether this is right and what effect it has on the game. Look too at the reactions of coaches and managers. Do they accept losing with good grace or scowl and show a bad attitude?: Một điều khác cần chú ý là những gì bình luận viên nói. Họ có phản đối những hành vi xấu của người chơi hay coi đó là điều tốt? Những người điều khiển trận đấu thì sao? Nếu họ để người chơi nhận án phạt rõ ràng, cha mẹ có thể thảo luận liệu rằng điều này là đúng và nó có ảnh hưởng gì tới trận đấu. Cũng nên nhìn vào phản ứng của huấn luyện viên và người quản lí. Họ có chấp nhận thua với thái độ tốt hay chửi mắng và tỏ thái độ xấu?

Dẫn chứng (đoạn 4): They should emphasise to children the high reputation that well-behaved players have, not just with their teammates but also with spectators and the media: Họ nên nhấn mạnh với con mình rằng uy tín, danh tiếng tốt mà những người chơi cư xử đẹp có được không chỉ với đồng đội và còn với người xem và cả truyền thông

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.

We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!

Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed- ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.

In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teachers.

Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this effectively. An advanced pupil can do advanced work; it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.

Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work together with others.

B. Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning ability.

C. Pupils also learn how to participate in teaching activities.

D. Group work provides the pupils with the opportunity to learn to be capable organizers.
