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 35 to 42.

        According to sociologists, there are several different ways in which a person may become recognized as the leader of a social group in the United States. In the tamily, traditional cultural patterns confer leadership on one or both of the parents. In other cases, such as friendship groups, one or more persons may gradually emerge as leaders, although there is no formal process of selection. In larger groups, leaders are usually chosen formally through election or recruitment.

        Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ubility, decades ot research have failed to produce consistent evidence that there is any category ot “natural leaders. It seems that there is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common; rather, virtually any person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs ot that particular group.

        Furthermore, although it is commonly supposed that social groups have a single leader, research suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different individuals. Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social group.

        Group members look to instrumental leaders to “get things” done.” Expressive leadership, on the other hand, is leadership that emphasizes the collective well-being of a social group’s member. Expressive leaders are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional support to group members and attempting to minimize tension and conflict among them. Group members expect expressive leaders to maintain stable relationships within the group and provide support to individual members.

                   Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group members. They give orders and may discipline group members who inhibit attainment of the group’s goals. Expressive leaders cultivate a more personal or primary relationship to others in the group. They offer sympathy when someone experiences difficulties or is subjected to discipline, are quick to lighten a serious moment with humor, and try to resolve issues that threaten to divide the group. As the differences in these two roles suggest, expressive leaders generally receive more personal affection from group members; instrumental leaders, if they are successful in promoting group goals, may enjoy a more distant respect

A “secondary relationship” mentioned in the last paragraph between a leader and the members of a group could best be characterized as _________.

A. distant   

B. enthusiastic       

C. unreliable         

D. personal

B. Although: mặc dù. Sau “although” cũng là một mệnh đề

D. Despite: bất chấp, mặc dù. Sau “in spite of” và “despite” là danh từ hoặc cụm danh từ

Chỉ có “in spite” đi với “of” nên đáp án C đúng.

In spite of = Despite: bất chấp, mặc dù. Đi sau “in spite of” và “despite” là danh từ, cụm danh từ hoặc danh động từ.

Đi sau “whereas” và “although” là một mệnh đề. => Đáp án A và B sai Dịch nghĩa: Mặc dù lãnh đạo thường được cho là những người có khả năng đặc biệt, các nghiên cứu trong nhiều thập kỷ qua đã không tìm ra được bằng chứng phù hợp chứng minh rằng liệu có hay không các “nhà lãnh đạo thiên bẩm”.

A. happen: xảy ra

B. show: tỏ ra

C. emerge: nổi bật lên

D. occur: xảy đến

Dịch nghĩa: Trong các trường hợp khác, chẳng hạn như trong các nhóm bạn, một hoặc nhiều người có thể dần dần nổi bật lên như những người lãnh đạo, mặc dù không có quá trình lựa chọn chính thức.

Dịch bài

Theo các nhà xã hội học, có một số con đường khác nhau mà trong đó một người có thể được công nhận là người lãnh đạo của một nhóm xã hội ở Hoa Kỳ. Trong gia đình, các mô hình văn hoá truyền thống đặt quyền lãnh đạo cho cha hoặc mẹ hoặc cả cha và mẹ. Trong các trường hợp khác, chẳng hạn như trong các nhóm bạn, một hoặc nhiều người có thể dần dần nổi bật lên như những người lãnh đạo, mặc dù không có quá trình lựa chọn chính thức. Trong các nhóm lớn hơn, các nhà lãnh đạo thường được chọn chính thức thông qua việc bầu cử hoặc tuyển dụng. Mặc dù lãnh đạo thường được cho là những người có khả năng đặc biệt, các nghiên cứu trong nhiều thập kỷ qua đã không tìm ra được bằng chứng phù hợp chứng minh rằng liệu có hay không các “nhà lãnh đạo thiên bẩm”. Dường như các nhà lãnh đạo không có bất kì một bản tính chung nào; thay vào đó, hầu như bất kì người nào đáp ứng được các yêu cầu đặc biệt của một tổ chức đều có thể trở thành lãnh đạo.

Hơn nữa, mặc dù người ta tin rằng các nhóm xã hội chỉ có một nhà lãnh đạo duy nhất, nghiên cứu cho thấy có hai vai trò lãnh đạo điển hình khác nhau được nắm giữ bởi các cá nhân khác nhau. Sự lãnh đạo cứng rắn chú trọng việc hoàn thành nhiệm vụ của một nhóm. Các thành viên trong nhóm tìm đến những nhà lãnh đạo cứng rắn để "hoàn thành công việc". Mặt khác, lãnh đạo với nhiều cảm xúc là loại lãnh đạo chú trọng đến phúc lợi tập thể của các thành viên trong nhóm xã hội
