Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Years ago few people realized that computers were about to become part of our daily lives. This short period of time has
seen enormous changes in business, education and public administration. Jobs which took weeks to complete in the past,
are now carried out in minutes. Clerks who spent all day copying and checking calculations are now freed from these
tedious tasks. In offices, the soft hum and clicking of word processors have replaced the clatter of typewriters.
Schoolchildren have become as familiar with hardware and software as their parents were with pencils and exercise
books. Computerization of public records has enabled government departments to analyze the needs of citizens in detail.
Some of us may wonder, however, whether life has really improved as a result of these changes. Many jobs disappeared ,
for example, when intelligent machines took over the work. Employers complain that clerical staff ( nhân viên văn

done enough to ensure that personal information held on computers is really kept secret. Certainly, many people may now
be wondering whether the spread of computers has brought us as many problems as it has solved.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
How do visual media affect the lives of individuals and families all over the world? The media can be very helpful to
people who carefully choose the movies and shows that they watch. With high quality programs in various fields of study,
such as science, medicine, history, arts, and so on, TV and video tapes increase the viewers knowledge, they can also
improve thinking ability. Moreover, TV benefits elderly people who cannot go out often, as well as patients in hospital.
Additionally, it offers language learners the advantage of "real-life" audiovisual instruction and aural comprehension
practice at any time of day or night. Television and video can also provide almost everyone with good entertainment – a
pleasant way to relax and spend free time at home. Nevertheless, there are several serious disadvantages to the visual
media. First of all, some people watch the "tube" for more hours a day than they do anything else. Instead of spending
time taking care of their kids, many parents use TV as an "electronic baby-sitter". As a result, TV and video can easily
replace family communication, physical activities and other interests. Secondly, those who, young and old, spend more
time watching TV than manual work can easily suffer from near-sightedness and obesity. The third negative feature of the
media is the amount of violence and horror on the screen that have bad effect on children and teenagers. Finally, the most
negative effect of TV and video might be addiction. People often feel a strange and powerful need to watch TV or play a
video tape even when they do not enjoy it or have free time for entertainment.
