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 26 to 30.

Being repeatedly late may just be accidental – or could it show a deeply rooted psychological desire to express your own superiority? When I worked in an office, meetings would often start late, usually because of a certain individual. Then they would overrun and the whole day lost its shape. But the individual was high-ranking and self-important: nobody challenged. So what are the ethics of lateness?

There’s a psychotherapist called Irvin Yalom who argues that all behaviour reflects psychology. Just as people who like to be on time are motivated by certain deep-seated beliefs, so those who make others wait are acting out an inner agenda, often based on an acute sense of power. There’s famous footage in which Silvio Berlusconi kept Angela Merkel waiting while he made a call on his mobile. It speaks volumes.

But that is when all lateness is in one’s control. What about when your train is cancelled or your flight is delayed or you had to wait longer for the plumber to arrive? In such cases, there’s not a lot of psychology involved. Or is there? Some people will genuinely worry about the impact it will have on those left waiting, while others might secretly enjoy the power of their absence.

The essential fact is that lateness means breaking a convention – you can only be late in respect of a time agreed with other people. Regardless of psychology, it has a social value. And when we treat other people’s time as less valuable than our own, we treat them as inferior

Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage? 

A. The way our minds work is responsible for the way we behave

B. Some people control a situation for their benefit through lateness

C. Lateness can have an impact on other people who are made to wait

D. Most people react the same when lateness is out of their control

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

Most Americans look forward to their vacation. Most American employees receive an annual vacation with pay, and it is traditional to use this time off for travel.

Travelling within the United States is very popular because foreign travel generally takes more time and money. Every year about thirteen million people travel abroad. The most popular periods are during the summer and the two-week school break on Christmas and New Year holidays. These periods are also the most crowded and the most expensive time to travel, so people who can adjust their schedules sometimes choose to travel in the autumn.

American tourists often travel by car. Most families own a car, and those who do not have a car can rent one. Cars are usually the most economical way to travel, especially for families. It is also fairly fast and convenient. Exellent highway with motels and restaurants nearby connect the nation’s major cities. They enable tourists to travel at a speed of 55 to 66 miles an hour. Tourists that want to travel faster often fly to their destination and then rent a car when they get there.

Which of the following is not mentioned in the text?

A. Travelling on Christmas and New Year holidays take much money

B. Most American employees use their vacation to travel every year

C. Most families use cars as an economical way to travel

D. American people always choose to travel in autumn

Từ “it” trong đoạn 4 nói tới cái gì?

  A. thực tế                 

  B. sự chậm trễ         

C. quy ước                 

D. tâm lý

Thông tin: The essential fact is that lateness means breaking a convention – you can only be late in respect of a time agreed with other people. Regardless of psychology, it has a social value.

Tạm dịch: Một thực tế thiết yếu là độ trễ có nghĩa là phá vỡ một quy ước - bạn chỉ có thể bị trễ về thời gian đã thỏa thuận với người khác. Bất kể tâm lý, nó có một giá trị xã hội.

Dịch bài đọc:

Bị đi muộn lặp đi lặp lại có thể chỉ là tình cờ - hoặc nó có thể cho thấy một mong muốn tâm lý sâu xa để thể hiện sự vượt trội của riêng bạn? Khi tôi làm việc trong một văn phòng, các cuộc họp thường bắt đầu muộn, thường là do một cá nhân nào đó. Sau đó, các cuộc họp sẽ mất nhiều thời gian hơn dự kiến và mất cả ngày trời. Nhưng cá nhân là thứ hạng cao và tự trọng: không ai bị thách thức. Vậy chuẩn mực của sự chậm trễ là gì?

Có một nhà trị liệu tâm lý tên là Irvin Yalom, người lập luận rằng mọi hành vi đều phản ánh tâm lý. Giống như những người thích đến đúng giờ được thúc đẩy bởi những niềm tin sâu sắc nhất định, vì vậy những người khiến người khác chờ đợi đang thực hiện một chương trình nghị sự bên trong, thường dựa trên ý thức quyền lực cấp tính. Có những cảnh quay nổi tiếng trong đó Silvio Berlusconi khiến Angela Merkel chờ đợi trong khi anh gọi điện thoại di động. Nó nói lên rất nhiều.

Nhưng đó là khi toàn bộ sự chậm trễ nằm trong sự kiểm soát của một người. Thế còn khi tàu của bạn bị hủy hoặc chuyến bay của bạn bị hoãn hoặc bạn phải đợi lâu hơn để thợ sửa ống nước đến? Trong những trường hợp như vậy, không liên quan nhiều đến tâm lý. Hoặc là có? Một số người thực sự sẽ lo lắng về tác động của nó đối với những người còn lại chờ đợi, trong khi những người khác có thể bí mật tận hưởng sức mạnh của sự vắng mặt của họ.

Một thực tế thiết yếu là sự chậm trễ có nghĩa là phá vỡ một quy ước - bạn chỉ có thể bị trễ về thời gian khi đã thỏa thuận với người khác. Bất kể tâm lý thế nào, nó có một giá trị xã hội. Và khi chúng ta đối xử với người khác, thời gian của họ ít có giá trị hơn thời gian của chúng ta, chúng ta coi họ là thấp kém hơn
