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

What does the word “it” in paragraph 4 refer to? 

A. fact 

B. lateness 

C. convention 

D. psychology

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

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   22  to  26

A.   Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer.

The ruined temples of Angkor are perhaps one of the mast impressive Seven Wonders of the World. Located in modern day Cambodia near Lake TonIe Sap, the largest freshwater lake in Asia, Angkor was the seat of power for the Khmer Empire from the ninth to the fifteenth century. The ruins of Angkor are documented as same .of the mast impressive ones in the world, rivaling the pyramids of Giza in Egypt. Why this mighty civilization died out is a question that archeologists are now only beginning to ponder. The answer, it turns out, may be linked with the availability of fresh water.

One possible explanation far the downfall of the Khmer Empire has to do with the inhabitants' irrigation system. The temple and palaces of Angkor were constructed around a series of artificial reservoirs and canals which were annually flooded to capacity by the Mekong River. Once filled, they were used to irrigate the surrounding rice patties and farmland during the course of the year. Farmers were completely dependent upon the water for their crucial rice crop. Without consistent irrigation, the farmers would have been unable to maintain functional crop production.

Scientists speculate that toward the end of the Khmer Empire the hydraulic systems of the reservoirs and canals broke down. The construction of hundreds of sandstone temples and palaces required an enormous amount of physical labor. In addition, as the capital of the Khmer Empire, Angkor contained upwards of one hundred thousand people who resided in and around Angkor. In order to feed so many people, the local farmers were driven to grow food quicker and more efficiently. After centuries of continual use, the irrigation system was pushed beyond its capacity. Soil erosion, nutrient depletion, and the loss of water led to decrease in the food supply. With less food available, the people of Angkor slowly began to migrate to other parts of Cambodia thus leaving the marvelous city of Angkor to be swallowed by the jungle. Therefore, it is speculated that the Khmer Empire may have fallen victim to its own decrepit infrastructure.

22. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Modern day agricultural procedures in Cambodia.

B. A possible explanation for the, decline of a civilization.

C. The essential role water plays in farming.

D. Religious temples of the ancient Khmer Empire.

23. The passage preceding the passage most likely discusses ______.

A. architecture of ancient Asian civilization

B. religious practices of the people of Angkor

C. the form of government practiced by the Khmer Empire

D. the other six wonders of the world

24. According to the passage, Lake Tonle Sap in Cambodia ______.

A. is an enormous fresh body of water in Asia

B. was unable to supply enough fish for the people of Angkor

C. became polluted due to a population explosion

D. is one of the Seven Wonders of the World

25. Why does the author mention the hydraulic systems of the reservoirs?

A. They supplied irrigation from the Indian Ocean.

B. They became non-functional due to overuse.

C. They were destroyed by nearby warrior tribes.

D. They helped transport the sandstones for constructing temples.

26. It can be inferred from the passage that the inhabitants of the Khmer Empire ______.

A. were intentionally starved by the farmers

B. lost their food source due to excess rainfall

C. supplemented their diets with 'meat hunted in the nearby jungles

D. depended upon rice as their main source of food

27. All the following are mentioned as events that can affect food supply EXCEPT.

After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worldwide contributions to mankind. Originally there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first awarded ceremony.

Nobel’s original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from 30.000 dollars to 125.000 dollars.
