People think children should play sports. Sports are fun, and children stay healthy while playing with
others. However, playing sports can have negative effects on children. It may produce feelings of poor
self-esteem or aggressive behavior in some children. According to research on kids and sports, 40 million
kids play sports in the US. Of these, 18 million say they have been yelled at or called names while
playing sports. This leaves many children with a bad impression of sports. They think sports are just too
aggressive.
Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches, are the main cause of too much
aggression in children’s sports. They believe children copy aggressive adult behavior. This behavior is
then further reinforced through both positive and negative feedback. Parents and coaches are powerful
teachers because children usually look up to them. Often these adults behave aggressively themselves,
sending children the message that winning is everything. At children’s sporting events, parents may yell
insults at other players or cheer when their child behaves aggressively. As well, children may be taught
that hurting other players is acceptable, or they may be pushed to continue playing even when they are
injured. In addition, the media makes violence seem exciting. Children watch adult sports games and see
violent behavior replayed over and over on television.
As a society, we really need to face up to this problem and do something about it. Parents and coaches
should act as better examples for children. They also need to teach children better values. They should
teach children to enjoy themselves whether they win or not. It is not necessary to knock yourself out to
enjoy sports. Winning is not everything. In addition, children should not be allowed to continue to play
when they are injured. Sending a child with an injury into a game gives the child the message that health
is not as important as winning. If we make some basic changes, children might learn to enjoy sports
again.

From time immemorial, cities have been the central gathering places of human life, from where the great
ideas and movements of the world have sprouted. In this country, the beginnings of our independence
fomented with the Boston Tea Party, while Philadelphia served as the home of the Constitutional
Convention. The seeds of economic and financial power were sowed on the streets of New York City.
Around the world, the great thinkers of the Renaissance assembled in Florence, the impressionist painters
flocked to Paris, and the industrial revolution sparked in Birmingham England.
Hundreds of years later, great ideas and innovations are still sprouting in cities – but this time
accompanied by a growth in urbanized life over the last several decades never before seen. For the first
time in history, more people are living in cities than rural areas. And, this way of living is only going to
continue: by 2050, the urban share of global population is projected to surpass 66 percent (up from 30
percent in 1950). This trend to urbanization is even more dramatic beyond the borders of the United
States. Take Nigeria's capital, Lagos, which had a population of approximately 7.2 million in 2000, and is
expected to rise to 24 million by 2030. And, eight times more Nigerians live in cities today than in 1975.
Trang | 5
Moreover, the metro areas of Tokyo, New York and Mexico City were the only metro areas in 1975 with
at least 10 million people. Today, that list would include 31 such megacities – with 10 more to join by
2030 – all of which are outside the United States.
Cities are undergoing what Brookings Institution author Bruce Katz terms the "metropolitan revolution."
Financial capitals New York and London are transforming into major world tech hubs as new and
innovative companies emerge within these cities. And, this shift is not exclusive to New York or London,
as many cities are undergoing similar transformations driven by this global trend toward urbanization.
This wave of urban growth stems, in large part, from the mass adoption of the internet and interconnected
technologies. Interestingly, many sociologists predicted years ago that the advent of such
interconnectivity would enable people to live and work anywhere. But the practical result has been the
opposite.
Indeed, in this new 21st century economy, innovative workers seek one another to collaborate in building
and developing new knowledge-based industries that are increasingly disrupting and dominating a rapidly
evolving global economy. Bright, curious minds in the sciences and technology demand proximity in
order to be more productive, more creative and further stimulated. This need for collaboration has
propelled millennials to move to urban areas in droves. But once they get there, they desire new open
physical environments – such as incubators and shared work places – to enhance their collaborative
efforts. Beyond work, a growing single population – one that now outnumbers married people in the
United States – seeks out other singles amid the myriad activities and diverse nightlife that only cities
offer.

There are many different metaphors used to describe culture. My favorite one is the iceberg. I think, it
demonstrates so vividly what can happen to us if we believe only in the visible and ignore or
underestimate the invisible part. The hidden part of our culture is that part which we know instinctively
because we absorbed it from childhood on. It's handed down to us from generation to generation. We
could also say, it's the "thinking" and "feeling" part of culture: habits, assumptions, attitudes, desires,
values, tastes, etc.
Now, if we are in a new culture, our customary evaluations and interpretations are likely not to be on
target because we see everything through our own cultural glasses. Imagine yourself in a new city trying
to get around with a map from your own hometown. It wouldn't take long for you to get lost and
completely frustrated! When we experience an encounter in the new culture that puzzles us, the most
common reaction is to judge it through our own cultural glasses.
I want to propose an alternate approach to our initial gut reaction. Instead of immediately and
instinctively judging a situation through our own glasses, we might first just pause and notice what is
happening and then realize that this is a cultural learning situation. Remember the iceberg metaphor! The
new culture becomes your mirror that shows you a hidden part of your own culture. What an opportunity
for personal growth and new insight! You can compare two different approaches, that of the new culture
and of your own culture. This gives you a choice. Now you can decide what fits best for you or even take
the best from both sides.

From smartphones and tablets to apps and social media, society is ambushed from all sides with
technology. Naturally, all generations embrace it differently, with younger “digital natives” generally
being more connected, more switched-on and more tech literate than older age groups.
According to Pew Research, 92% of Millennials (born 1981–1996) own smartphones, compared with
85% of Gen Xers (born 1965–1980) and 67% of Baby Boomers (born 1946–1964). In terms of tech
behavior, older generations tend to use their phones mostly for making calls, whereas for younger
generations, a phone is their digital window to the world. Phones are used for social media, going online,
texting, emailing, playing games, listening to music, and recording and watching videos.
The daily media consumption of different generations also vastly differs. Gen Z and Millennials favor
streaming and online services, with 46% of teens saying they use Netflix compared to 31% of those aged
over 16. Furthermore, 16-24s spend 30% of their downtime watching TV or video, compared to 40% of
time spent on these activities by the average UK adult. Boomers spend a whopping 344 minutes a day
watching regular TV, significantly more than any other age group.
Trang | 14
Size also matters more depending on your decade of birth. Younger generations prefer smaller screens
sizes, opting for a smartphone as their go-to tech, while Generation X and technology newbies - the
Boomers, are going bigger, owning more desktops and tablets. Always in the front of the queue for the
hottest tech, younger generations see technology as an integral part of their existence, and since few
Millennials and Gen Z can remember a time without social media, they’re more fearless and carefree
when it comes to technology. So much so, that a LivePerson report revealed 65% of Millennials and Gen
Z interact more with each other online than they do in the real world.
Fundamentally, these behaviors and preferred technologies combine to create a technological generation
gap, where employees, shaped by their personal experiences, demonstrate different levels of ability and
willingness to adopt new tech. Constantly chasing the next update or device, switched on Millennials and
Gen Z are quick to lap up the latest apps, games, and platforms, while Gen X and Boomers are generally
slower to embrace technology - both at home and in the workplace.

Some doctors think that you should drink a glass of water each morning. You should drink this water first
thing, before doing anything else. The temperature of the water should be similar to body temperature;
neither too hot nor too cold.
Why should you drink this water? Water helps your body in many ways. It helps clean out your kidneys.
It prepares your stomach for digestion. Water can also help your intestines work better. After drinking
water, the intestines can more easily take out nutrients from our food. Water also helps us go to the
bathroom more easily.
Scientists suggest that people take in 1,600 milliliters of water each day. But don’t drink all of that water
in one sitting. If you do, your kidneys will have to work much harder to eliminate it. It’s better to drink
some in the morning and some in the afternoon. Some people think it’s better to drink between meals and
Trang | 21
not during meals. They think water dilutes the juices produced in our stomachs. This can interfere with
normal digestion.
Are you drinking enough water every day? Check the color of your urine. If it is light yellow, you are
probably drinking enough. If your urine is very dark yellow, you probably need to drink more water. A
little more water each day could make you much healthier.

Carnegie Hall, the famous concert hall in New York City, has again undergone a restoration. While this is
not the first, it is certainly the most extensive in the building’s history. As a result of this new restoration,
Carnegie Hall once again has the quality of sound that it had when it was first built. Carnegie Hall owes
its existence to Andrew Carnegie, the wealthy owner of a steel company in the late 1800s. The hall was
finished in 1891 and quickly gained a reputation as an excellent performing arts hall where accomplished
musicians gained fame. Despite its reputation, however, the concert hall suffered from several
Trang | 22
detrimental renovations over the years. During the Great Depression, when fewer people could afford to
attend performances, the directors sold part of the building to commercial businesses. As a result, a coffee
shop was opened in one corner of the building, for which the builders replaced the brick and terra cotta
walls with windowpanes. A renovation in 1946 seriously damaged the acoustical quality of the hall when
the makers of the film Carnegie Hall cut a gaping hole in the dome of the ceiling to allow for lights and
air vents. The hole was later covered with short curtains and a fake ceiling but the hall never sounded the
same afterwards.
In 1960, the violinist Isaac Stern became involved in restoring the hall after a group of real estate
developers unveiled plans to demolish Carnegie Hall and build a high-rise office building on the site.
This threat spurred Stern to rally public support for Carnegie Hall and encourage the City of New York to
buy the property. The movement was successful, and the concert hall is now owned by the city. In the
current restoration, builders tested each new material for its sound qualities, and they replaced the hole in
the ceiling with a dome. The builders also restored the outer walls to their original appearance and closed
the coffee shop. Carnegie has never sounded better, and its prospects for the future have never looked
more promising.

Marcel Bich, a French manufacturer of traditional ink pens, was the man turning the ballpoint pen
into an item that today almost anyone can afford. Bich was shocked at the poor quality of the ballpoint
pens that were available, and also at their high cost. However, he recognised that the ballpoint was a
firmly established invention, and he decided to design a cheap pen that worked well and would be
commercially successful.
Bich went to the Biro brothers and asked them if he could use the design of their original
invention in one of his own pens. In return, he offered to pay them every time he sold a pen. Then, for
two years, Bich studied the detailed construction of every ballpoint pen that was being sold, often
working with a microscope.
By 1950, he was ready to introduce his new wonder: a plastic pen with a clear barrel that wrote
smoothly, did not leak and only cost a few cents. He called it the 'Bic Cristal'. The ballpoint pen had
finally become a practical writing instrument. The public liked it immediately, and today it is as
common as the pencil. In Britain, they are still called Biros, and many Bic models also say 'Biro' on the
side of the pen, to remind people of their original inventors.
Bich became extremely wealthy thanks to his invention, which had worldwide appeal. Over the
next 60 years his company, Société Bic, opened factories all over the world and expanded its range of
inexpensive products. Today, Bic is as famous for its lighters and razors as it is for its pens, and you can
even buy a Bic mobile phone.

A study was set up to examine the old marriage advice about whether it's more important to be
happy or to be right. Couples therapists sometimes suggest that in an attempt to avoid constant
arguments, spouses weigh up whether pressing the point is worth the misery of marital discord. The
researchers from the University of Auckland noticed that many of their patients were adding stress to
their lives by insisting on being right, even when it worked against their well-being.
The researchers then found a couple who were willing to record their quality of life on a scale of 1
to 10. They told the man, who wanted to be happy more than right, about the purpose of the study and
asked him to agree with every opinion and request his wife had without complaint, even when he
profoundly didn't agree. The wife was not informed of the purpose of the study and just asked to record
her quality of life.
Things went rapidly downhill for the couple. The man's quality-of-life scores fell, from 7 to 3,
over the course of the experiment. The wife's scores rose modestly, from 8 to 8.5, before she became
hostile to the idea of recording the scores. Rather than creating harmony, the husband's agreeableness led
to the wife becoming increasingly critical of what he did and said (in the husband's opinion). After 12
days he broke down, and the study was called off because of severe adverse outcomes."
The researchers concluded, shockingly, that humans need to be right and acknowledged as right,
at least some of the time, to be happy. They also noted this was further proof that if given too much
power, humans tend to "assume the alpha position and, as with chimpanzees, they become very
Trang | 30
aggressive and dangerous." It is often said that there can be no peace without justice, and that's true of
domestic sphere.
Obviously the results are to be taken with extreme caution, since this was just one couple with
who-knows-what underlying issues beforehand. But the study's chief author, Dr. Bruce Arroll, maintains
that the question of happiness vs. rightness, theoretically, could be settled by scientific inquiry with a
wider sample. "This would include a randomized controlled trial,” he says. "However, we would be
reluctant to do the definitive study because of the concern about divorce."

History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927. But sound films, or
talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings. From the earliest public performances in
1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects. These were produced by a single pianist, a
small band, or a full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effect machines. Research into
sound that was reproduced at exactly at the same time as the pictures - called "synchronized sound" –
began soon after the very first films were shown. With synchronized sound, characters on the movie
screen could sing and speak. As early as 1896, the newly invented gramophone, which played a large disc
carrying music and dialogue, was used as a sound system. The biggest disadvantage was that the sound
and pictures could become unsynchronized if, for example, the gramophone needle jumped or if the
speed of the projector changed. This system was only effective for a single song or dialogue sequence.
In the "sound-on-film" system, sound was recorded as a series of marks on celluloid which could be read
by an optical sensor. These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image, guaranteeing
synchronization. Short feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922. This system eventually
brought us "talking pictures".
Question 31. The passage is mainly about the_____________.
A: research into sound reproduction.
B: development of sound with movies.
C: disadvantages of synchronized sound.
D: history of silent movies.
Question 32. According to the passage, films using sound effects were screened ________.
A. as early as 1922 B. in 1927 C. before 1896 D. as early as 1896

There are three basic types of classroom learning styles: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. These learning
styles describe the most common ways that people learn. Individuals tend to instinctively prefer one style
over the others; thus each person has a learning style that is dominant even though he or she may also
rely somewhat on the other approaches at different times and in different circumstances.
Visual learners prefer to sit somewhere in the classroom where no obstructions hinder their view of the
lesson. They rely on the teacher's facial expressions and body language to aid their learning. They learn
best from a blend of visual displays and presentations such as colorful videos, diagrams, and flip-charts.
Often, these learners think in pictures and may even close their eyes to visualize or remember something.
When they are bored, they look around for something to watch. Many visual learners lack confidence in
their auditory memory skills and so may take detailed notes during classroom discussions and lectures.
Auditory learners sit where they can hear well. They enjoy listening and talking, so discussions and
verbal lectures stimulate them. Listening to what others have to say and then talking the subject through
helps them process new information. These learners may be heard reading to themselves out loud
because they can absorb written information better in this way. Sounding out spelling words, reciting
mathematical theories, or talking their way across a map are examples of the types of activities that
improve their understanding.
Kinesthetic learners may find it difficult to sit still in a conventional classroom. They need to be
physically active and take frequent breaks. When they are bored, they fidget in their seats. They prefer to
sit someplace where there is room to move about. They benefit from manipulating materials and learn
best when classroom subjects such as math, science, and reading are processed through hands-on
experiences. Incorporating arts-and-crafts activities, building projects, and sports into lessons helps
kinesthetic learners process new information. Physical expressions of encouragement, such as a pat on
the back, are often appreciated.
In addition to these traditional ways of describing learning styles, educators have identified other ways
some students prefer to learn. Verbal learners, for example, enjoy using words, both written and spoken.
Logical learners are strong in the areas of logic and reasoning, Social learners do best when working in
groups, whereas solitary learners prefer to work alone. Research shows that each of these learning styles,
as well as the visual, auditory, and kinesthetic styles, uses different parts of the brain. Students may prefer
Trang | 38
to focus on just one style, but practicing other styles involves more of the brain's potential and therefore
helps students remember more of what they learn.

performances in 1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects. These were produced by a

Chủ đề EDUCATION
Đoạn văn chủ yếu thảo luận về chủ đề gì?
A. Các thể loại của phương pháp học tập cơ bản
B. Các lớp học khác nhau cho các nhóm người học khác nhau
C. Cách thông dụng nhất để học
D. Các lớp học cơ bản cho mỗi cá nhân
Căn cứ vào thông tin đoạn 1:
“There are three basic types of classroom learning styles: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. These learning
styles describe the most common ways that people learn.” (Có 3 thể loại phong cách học tập cơ bản
trong lớp: bằng thị giác, thính giác và cảm giác vận động. Những phương pháp học tập này mô tả những
cách thông dụng nhất mà mọi người sử dụng để học).
Từ “dominant” trong đoạn đầu gần nghĩa nhất với từ _________.
A. thành công B. có ưu thế, tốt nhất
C. tương tự D. khác nhau
Từ đồng nghĩa: dominant (có ưu thế, vượt trội) = foremost
“Individuals tend to instinctively prefer one style over the others; thus each person has a learning style
that is dominant even though he or she may also rely somewhat on the other approaches at different times
and in different circumstances.” (Mỗi cá nhân theo bản năng của mình thì có khuynh hướng thích một
phong cách học tập hơn những phong cách khác; vì vậy mỗi người có một phong cách học chiếm ưu thế
mặc dù người đó cũng có thể dựa vào các phương pháp học tập khác vào những thời điểm khác nhau và
trong những hoàn cảnh khác nhau.)

Theo đoạn văn số 2, những người học qua thị giác ________.

B. phải chủ ý vào bức tranh để ghi nhớ nội dung bài học.
C. dễ dàng cảm thấy chán nản với bài học.
D. không tự tin trong việc ghi nhớ những gì mà họ nghe được.
Từ khóa: visual learners
"Visual learners prefer to sit somewhere in the classroom where no obstructions hinder their View of the
lesson. They rely on the teacher's facial expressions and body language to aid their learning. They learn
best from a blend of visual displays and presentations such as colorful videos, diagrams, and ﬂip-charts.
Often, these learners think in pictures and may even close their eyes to visualize or remember something.
When they are bored, they look around for something to watch. Many visual learners lack confidence in
their auditory memory skills and so may take detailed notes during classroom discussions and lectures."
(Những người học bằng thị giác thích ngồi ở những vị trí trong lớp học nơi mà không vật cản trờ che
khuất tầm nhìn của họ vào bài học. Họ dựa vào các biểu hiện trên mặt và ngôn ngữ hình thể của giáo
viên để giúp cho việc học của mình. Họ học tốt nhất khi có sự kết hợp giữa các thiết bị hiển thị và bản
trình bày trực quan như các video có màu sắc, sơ đồ và biểu đồ lật. Thông thường, những người học này
suy nghĩ bằng hình ảnh và thậm chí có thể nhắm mắt để hình dung hoặc ghi nhớ điều gì đó. Khi họ thấy
chán, họ nhìn quanh tìm kiếm cái gì đó để xem. Nhiều người học qua thị giác thiếu tự tin trong kĩ năng
ghi nhớ bằng thính giác và vì vậy họ thường phải ghi chép chi tiết những thảo luận trong hớp học và bài
giảng).
Từ “blend” trang đoạn 2 có thể được thay thế bởi từ ____.
A. sự phân chia B. danh sách
C. sự pha trộn, kết hợp D. sự tách ra
Từ đồng nghĩa: blend (sự pha trộn, kết hợp) = mixture
“They learn best from a blend ofvisual displays and presentations such as colorful videos, diagrams, and
flip-charts." (Họ học tốt nhất khi có sự kết hợp giữa các thiết bị hiển thị và bản trình bày trực quan như
các video có màu sắc, sơ đồ và biểu đồ lật).
Từ “them” trong đoạn 3 để cập đến từ nào?
Trang | 50
A. những người học bằng thính giác B. những cuộc thảo luận
C. những bài giảng bằng lời nói D. những người khác
“Auditory learners sit where they can hear well. They enjoy listening and talking, so discussions and
helps them process new information.” (Những người học bằng thính giác thường ngồi ở những vị trí mà
họ có thể nghe rõ. Họ thích nghe và nói, vì vậy những cuộc thảo luận và các bài giảng bằng lời gây hứng
thú cho họ. Lắng nghe những gì mà người khác nói sau đó thảo luận về các chủ đề giúp họ tiếp thu bài
học mới).
Câu nào sau đây là không đúng về người học bằng thính giác?
A. Họ thường tiếp thu thông tin và nội dung bài học bằng tai và bằng lời nói.
B. Đọc to bài học là một cách rất hiệu quả để hiểu về môn học đó.
C. Họ luôn không thể ngồi yên khi họ thờ ơ với bài giảng.
D. Họ chỉ học tốt khi họ có thể lắng nghe bài giảng một cách rõ ràng.
Từ khóa: not true/ auditory learners
“Auditory learners sit where they can hear well. They enjoy listening and talking so discussions and
helps them process new information. These learners may be heard reading to themselves out loud because
they can absorb written information better in this way. Sounding out spelling words, reciting
mathematical theories, or talking their way across a map are examples of the types of activities that
improve their understanding." (Những người học bằng thính giác thường ngồi ở những nơi mà họ có thể
nghe rõ. Họ thích nghe và nói, vì vậy những cuộc thảo luận và các bài giảng bằng lời gây hứng thú cho
họ. Lắng nghe những gì mà người khác nói sau đó thảo luận về các chủ đề giúp họ tiếp thu bài học mới.
Những người học này có thể nghe bằng cách tự đọc to bài học vì họ có thể tiếp thu nội dung được viết ra
tốt hơn theo cách này. Phát âm các từ chính tả, đọc các lý thuyết toán học, hay nói theo cách của họ trên
bản đồ là những ví dụ về các hoạt động giúp cải thiện hiểu biết của họ).
Những phương pháp dưới đây là các gợi ý để thu hút người học qua cảm giác vận động, ngoại trừ
_____.
Trang | 51
A. kết hợp các hoạt động nghệ thuật và thủ công
B. lồng ghép các dự án và thể thao vào trong bài học
C. khuyến khích họ bằng các biểu hiện về thể chất
D. tách họ khỏi 1 lớp học thông thường
Từ khóa: methods to attract kinesthetic learners/ except
“Incorporating artsHand-cralts activities, building projects, and sports into lessons helps kinesthetic
learners process new information. Physical expressions of encouragement, such as a pat on the back, are
often appreciated.” (Kết hợp các hoạt động nghệ thuật và thủ công, xây dụng các dự án và thể thao vào
trong bài học giúp cho người học bằng cảm giác vận động tiếp thu các nội dung mới. Các biểu hiện
khích lệ về thể chất, như là một cái vỗ nhẹ vào lưng, thường được đánh giá cao).
