Until recently, most American entrepreneurs were men. Discrimination against women in business, the demands of caring for families, and lack of business training had kept the number of women entrepreneurs small. Now, however, businesses owned by women account for more than $40 billion in annual revenues, and this figure is likely to continue rising throughout the 1990s. As Carolyn Doppelt Gray, an official of the Small Business Administration, has noted, "The 1970s was the decade of women entering management, and the 1980s turned out to be the decade of the woman entrepreneur". What are some of the factors behind this trend? For one thing, as more women earn advanced degrees in business and enter the corporate world, they are finding obstacles. Women are still excluded from most executive suites. Charlotte Taylor, a management consultant, had noted, "In the 1970s women believed if they got an MBA and worked hard they could become chairman of the board. Now they've found out that isn't going to happen, so they go out on their own".

In the past, most women entrepreneurs worked in "women's" fields: cosmetics and clothing, for example. But this is changing. Consider ASK Computer Systems, a $22-million-a-year computer software business. It was founded in 1973 by Sandra Kurtzig, who was then a housewife with degrees in math and engineering. When Kurtzig founded the business, her first product was software that let weekly newspapers keep tabs on their newspaper carriers-and her office was a bedroom at home, with a shoebox under the bed to hold the company's cash. After she succeeded with the newspaper software system, she hired several bright computer-science graduates to develop additional programs. When these were marketed and sold, ASK began to grow. It now has 200 employees, and Sandra Kurtzig owns $66.9 million of stock.

Of course, many women who start their own businesses fail, just as men often do. They still face hurdles in the business world, especially problems in raising money; the banking and finance world is still dominated by men, and old attitudes die hard. Most businesses owned by women are still quite small. But the situation is changing; there are likely to be many more Sandra Kurtzigs in the years ahead.

According  to  the  passage,  Charlotte  Taylor  believes  that  women  in  1970s ___________

A. were unrealistic about their opportunities in business management

B. had fewer obstacles in business than they do today

C. were unable to work hard enough to success in business

D. were still more interested in education than business opportunities

Đáp án A

Thông tin ở câu trong ngoặc kép: “The 1970s was the decade of women entering management, and the 1980s turned out to be the decade of the woman entrepreneur”.  

“Những năm 1970 là thập kỷ phụ nữ bước vào quản lý, và những năm 1980 hóa ra lại là thập kỷ của doanh nhân nữ”.

=> do đó, phụ nữ trong những năm 1970 đã không thực tế về cơ hội của họ trong quản lý kinh doanh.

Câu 28. 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.

Until recently, humankind seemed to view the ocean as a source of infinite resources. Its vast size and depth and unexplored frontiers made the ocean appear invulnerable to overexploitation. The truth is that the populations of many species listed as endangered from marine life families such as whales, dolphins, manatees and dugongs, salmon, seabirds, sea turtles, and sharks to name a few, is on the rise. The threats to marine species are difficult to perceive because marine animals are not as visible as animals on land. But unfortunately, marine creatures are equally, if not more, vulnerable to problems such as habitat destruction and overexploitation.

Shallow water animals that breathe air, like turtles, manatees, dugongs, and whales are often hit by boats and caught in fishing gear. Species such as turtles that lay their eggs on land often lose their nurseries due to coastal development. Animals that have taken millions of years to evolve, that are invulnerable to all ecosystems, have and continue to vanish from places where they once flourished.

     Most Americans look forward to their vacations. Most American employees receive an annual vacation with pay. 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. However, those who want to travel outside the USA are free to go almost everywhere. Obtaining a passport is not difficult. Every year about thirteen million people travel abroad. The most popular periods are during the Summer and the two-week retool break on Christmas and New Year holidays. These periods are so the most crowded and the most expensive time to travel, so people who can adjust their schedules sometimes choose to travel in the autumn.

It is also fairly fast and convenient. Excellent highways 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.
