According to the passage, what is the most common source of lead poisoning in children?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 38 to 42.

  Lead poisoning in children is a major health concern. Both low and high doses of paint can have serious effects. Children exposed to high doses of lead often suffer permanent nerve damage, mental retardation, blindness, and even death. Low doses of lead can lead to mild mental retardation, short attention spans, distractibility, poor academic performance, and behavioral problems.

          This is not a new concern. As early as 1904, lead poisoning in children was linked to lead-based paint. Microscopic lead particles from paint are absorbed into the bloodstream when children ingest flakes of chipped paint,plaster,or paint dust from sanding. Lead can also enter the body through household dust, nailbiting, thumb sucking, or chewing on toys and other objects painted with lead-based paint. Although American paint companies today must comply with strict regulations regarding the amount of lead used in their paint, this source of lead poisoning is still the most common and most dangerous. Children living in older, dilapidated houses are particularly at risk.

According to the passage, what is the most common source of lead poisoning in children?

 

A. household dust

B. lead-based paint 

C. painted toys

D. dilapidated houses

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.

Many of us worry about the effects of television on family life. We think that we spend too much time watching television and that it takes us away from more important activities, such as reading, exercising and talking to family and friends. But is this really true?

Studies have shown that people in the United States do spend a lot of time in front of their television sets. About 98% of American homes have at least one TV set, and in the average home the TV is on more than six hours a day. But how much attention do people actually pay to the programs? And do people who watch TV really spend less time on other free-time activities? Recently some researchers in New York City tried to find the answers to these questions by conducting a telephone survey. They phoned more than a thousand people all over the United States and asked them questions about how they spend their free time.

No one was surprised to find out that watching TV is the most popular free-time activity in the United States. More than 70% of those asked said that they watch TV every day or almost every day. The second most popular activity that they mentioned was reading the newspaper. Listening to music at home was third, talking on the phone to friends and relatives was fourth and doing some form of exercise was fifth.

But the researchers discovered an interesting fact about Americans' TV habits. According to this survey, although most people turn the TV on every day, they do not actually watch it very much. Six out of ten people said that when the TV is on, they seldom pay attention to it. During a typical television program, they may eat dinner, do housework, read a newspaper or magazine, talk to their children or even read to them. The TV may be on, but it is just background music.

The researchers therefore concluded that television does not take Americans away from more important activities. It doesn't keep them from doing other free-time activities. In fact, when they compared people who frequently watch TV and those who seldom watch TV, they found that there were no great differences in their other activities. The frequent watchers read to their children and talk to their families just as much as the others.

Which of the following could be the best tittle of the passage?

A.Do people prefer watching TV to other free-time activities?

B.The TV is on but who’s watching?

C.Is TV always bad?

D.What are people’s TV habits?

* 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 43 to 50.

Cooperation is the common endeavor of two or more people to perform a task or reach a jointly cherished goal. Like competition and conflict, there are different forms of cooperation, based on group organization and attitudes.

In the first form, known as primary cooperation, group and individual fuse. The group contains nearly all of each individual’s life. The rewards of the group’s work are shared with each member. There is an interlocking identity of individual, group and task performed. Means and goals become one, for cooperation itself is valued.               

While primary cooperation is most often characteristic of preliterature societies, secondary cooperation is characteristic of many modem societies. In secondary cooperation, individuals devote only part of their lives to the group. Cooperation itself is not a value. Most members of the group feel loyalty, but the welfare of the group is not the first consideration. Members perform tasks so that they can separately enjoy the fruits of their cooperation in the form of salary, prestige, or power. Business offices and professional athletic teams are examples of secondary cooperation.

In the third type, called tertiary cooperation or accommodation, latent conflict underlies the shared work. The attitudes of the cooperating parties are purely opportunistic: the organization is loose and fragile. Accommodation involves common means to achieve antagonistic goals: it breaks down when the common means cease to aid each party in reaching its goals. This is not, strictly speaking, cooperation at all, and hence the somewhat contradictory term antagonistic cooperation is sometimes used for this relationship.

A. agreed on

ĐÁP ÁN B

Thông tin: In the third type, called tertiary cooperation or accommodation, latent conflict underlies the shared work ... This is not, strictly speaking, cooperation at all, and hence the somewhat contradictory term antagonistic cooperation is sometimes used for this relationship.

Dịch nghĩa: Trong loại thứ ba, gọi là hợp tác thứ ba hoặc sự thỏa thuận, xung đột tiềm ẩn là cơ sở cho công việc chung ... Đây không phải là, nói một cách nghiêm khắc, sự hợp tác một chút nào, và vì thế thuật ngữ hơi đối lập là hợp tác đối kháng thỉnh thoảng được dùng cho mối quan hệ này.

Như vậy “tertiary cooperation”, “accommodation” và “antagonistic cooperation” đều là tên gọi cho sự hợp tác loại 3. Chỉ có “latent conflict” là không phải, mà là sự giải thích về bản chất của loại hợp tác này.

The attitudes of the cooperating parties are purely opportunistic: the organization is loose and fragile. Accommodation involves common means to achieve antagonistic goals; it breaks down when the common means cease to aid each party in reaching its goals.

Dịch nghĩa: Trong loại thứ ba, gọi là hợp tác thứ ba hoặc sự thỏa thuận, xung đột tiềm ẩn là cơ sở cho công việc chung. Thái độ của các bên hợp tác hoàn toàn mang tính cơ hội: tổ chức lỏng lẻo và dễ vỡ. Sự thỏa thuận liên quan đến phương tiện chung để đạt được các mục tiêu đối kháng: nó sụp đổ khi các phương tiện chung không còn hỗ trợ mỗi bên trong việc đạt được mục tiêu của mình.

Như vậy bản chất của hợp tác loại ba là hai bên vốn đối đầu nhau, nhưng tạm thời hợp tác để đạt được một mục tiêu chung, sau khi đạt được lại quay trở lại quan hệ ban đầu.

Phương án B. Two rival political parties temporarlly work together to defeat a third party = Hai đảng chính trị đối thủ tạm thời làm việc với nhau để đánh bại một bên thứ ba; là phương án chính xác nhất.

A. Members of a farming community share work and the food that they grow = Thành viên của một cộng đồng nông nghiệp chia sẻ công việc và thực phẩm mà họ trồng.

Đây là ví dụ của hợp tác cơ bản.

C. Students form a study group so that all of them can improve their grades = Học sinh tạo thành một nhóm nghiên cứu để tất cả trong số họ có thể cải thiện điểm số.

Đây là ví dụ của hợp tác thứ cấp.

D. A new business attempts to take customers away from an established company = Một doanh nghiệp mới cố gắng để đưa khách hàng đi từ một công ti đã thành lập.

About 98% of American homes have at least one TV set, and in the average home the TV is on more than six hours a day. But how much attention do people actually pay to the programs?

What did the researchers find about Americans’ TV habits in their survey

A.TV distracts most people from doing other activities.
