last 100 years, the world population has more than tripled, from just under 2 billion at the beginning of the century
(2) ______. Obviously, this has meant that the world has needed to produce three times as much food, energy, and

numerous to mention.
In addition to a growing population, the world also has a population that desires a higher standard of living (8)
______, and a higher standard of living requires the use of even more natural resources. A look at one country will
provide a clear example of this fact. China is the world’s most populous nation, with 1.3 billion people. Currently,
the standard of living for most of those people is far below (9) ______. Therefore, the average Chinese citizen uses
far fewer natural resources and less energy than the average citizen of the US or Japan. But China is growing in
power, (10) ______ are beginning to expect a first world lifestyle. If every Chinese person attains a first world
lifestyle, the amount of energy and natural resources needed in the world will double, even if the standard of living
in every other nation on Earth remains the same as it is today.
III. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer for the following questions.
Cooperation is the common endeavor of two more people to perform a task or reach a jointly cherished goal.
Like competition and conflict, there are different form 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
individual lives. The reward of the group’s work is shred with each member. There is interlocking identity of
individual, group, and task performed. Means of goals become one, for cooperation itself is valued.
While primary cooperation is most characteristic of preliterate societies, secondary cooperation is characteristic
of many modern 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 underlines the shared work. The
attitudes of cooperating parties are purely opportunistic; the organization is loose and fragile. Accommodation
involves common means to achieve antagonistic goal; it breaks down when the common means cease to aid each
Trang 3 – mã đề 123
party in reaching its goals. This is not, strictly speaking, cooperation at all, and hence somewhat contradictory term
antagonistic cooperation is sometimes used for this relationship.
