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.
What Do You Think?
We have all had bad experiences with restaurants, stores, or hotels. Maybe you have gone to a restaurant that served terrible food. Perhaps you have gone to a store that had high prices or bad service. Or maybe you have booked a hotel and found out later that the room was nothing like the advertisement.
These days, we have a better chance of preventing these unpleasant surprises. We can do this by using apps. “App” is short for “application”. An app is a computer programme on a smartphone. You can use apps to do almost anything. Apps can help you play games, get directions, talk to friends, and so on.
If f you want to find information about a store or a hotel, you can use a review app. Review apps help us evaluate services and products before we hand over our money. The idea is very simple. After you go to a restaurant or stay in a hotel, you can post a review with one of your apps. You can say anything you want. If you like a hotel you stayed in, you can tell people that it was wonderful. If you think that the food in a certain restaurant was bad, then you tell people not to eat there. Other people can use their apps to read your reviews.
Plenty of people prefer not to use these review apps. Many of these people prefer to go out and decide for themselves whether or not a service is good. However, review apps are getting more and more popular every day. Some apps are for specific services. For example, Tripadvisor focuses on travel, and Goodreads focuses on books. There are also other, larger apps that provide information for just about every service that you can think of.
According to the passage, why do some people prefer NOT to use review apps?
A. They don't trust review apps.
B. They don't know how to use review apps.
C. They think review app are too hard.
D. They prefer to make their own decisions.

Một sự kết nối đặc biệt
Beth và chị gái song sinh Harriet tin rằng họ có thể chia sẻ kinh nghiệm và cảm xúc mà không cần nhìn thấy hoặc nói chuyện với nhau. Đây là những gì Beth nói:
'Năm ngoái, mình đã có một kỳ nghỉ đi bộ leo núi với chị Harriet. Chị ấy nói với mình rằng mắt cá chân phải của chị ấy bị đau, nhưng chị ấy không biết tại sao. Chị ấy nói rằng chị ấy không vặn nó hay làm bất cứ thứ gì, nhưng chị ấy nói với mình rằng chị ấy không thể đặt bất kỳ vật nặng nào lên chân. Khoảng một phút sau, mình đột nhiên cảm thấy đau nhói ở mắt cá chân phải của mình! Vào một dịp khác, mình nói với Harriet rằng mình đã xem một video clip rất hay trên mạng vào ngày hôm trước. Mình nói rằng mình sẽ gửi cho chị ấy một liên kết đến trang web mà mình đã tìm thấy nó. Mình đã nói với chị ấy rằng chị ấy phải xem nó. Hãy tưởng tượng sự ngạc nhiên của mình khi cô ấy nói rằng chị ấy đã xem cùng một clip vào lúc đó! Chị ấy nói rằng sau khi xem xong, chị ấy đã nghĩ đến việc gửi liên kết cho tôi.
I think the twins can share the same feeling and thinking without talk to each other.
(Mình nghỉ rằng cặp sinh đôi có thể có cùng cảm nhận và suy nghĩ mà không cần nói với nhau.)
