 Dạng bài: Đọc hiểu 
Read the passage carefully.
1. People who daydream are often thought of in negative terms, such as being lazy study or
not doing what they should be doing. However, scientists who study the brain have learned
many interesting things, especially from studying the brains of daydreamers. In fact, far from
being a waste of time, some scientists believe that daydreaming is a healthy and useful activity
for all of our brains.
2. In order to study the brain, scientists use special devices that scan the brain and show
pictures of which parts of the brain are active at certain times. By using this technique, they
proved that when a person is daydreaming, the device will show a distinct pattern of activity
in the brain called the “default” mode of thinking. In the default mode, the top or outside part
of the brain is very active. Actually, several regions of the brain are interacting in this mode.
Typically, this occurs when a person is doing simple, tedious work or performing routine
actions that don’t need much attention, like walking to school or cooking simple foods. People
tend to daydream during such activities.
3. The importance of daydreaming lies in developing both creative and social skills. When
the mind is not engaged in dealing with one’s immediate situation or problem, then it is free to
wander. New inventions may be imagined, or possible solutions to a problem can be planned.
In fact, most daydreams involve situations with others. Perhaps these are daydreams based on
memories of the past, or daydreams of what might be in the future. In either case, daydreams
help us develop the appropriate skills we can use in real interactions with others.
4. As neurologist Dr. Marcus Raichle of Washington University explains: “When you don’t
use a muscle, that muscle really isn’t doing much. But when your brain is supposedly doing
nothing and daydreaming, it’s really doing a tremendous amount.” During the so-called
“resting state” the brain isn’t resting at all!
Choose an option (A, B, C, or D) that best answers each question.
101. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. How is daydreaming different from sleeping?
B. Can daydreams reduce the hours we sleep?
C. Who daydreams more, men or women?
D. Why is daydreaming good for people?
102. The word "they" in the second paragraph refers to _________.
A. scientists B. pictures C. devices D. parts
103. The word "wander" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. drag B. consume C. question D. celebrate
104. According to the reading, which of the following would NOT be a result of letting the
mind wonder about things?

Read the passage carefully.
1. As customers choose brands based on how they make them feel, rather than their actual
products or services, there is an intrinsic advantage to those organizations who use designed
experiences as a weapon to cut through the most competitive of markets. Those that don't,
operate in what we call the “experience gap”, the space between them and their customer's
expectation of them. Make no mistake, in our high paced and digitally connected economies,
the experience gap is driving markets, fast.
2. For example, take Instagram and Twitter. These brands filled the demand for a whole
new human experience that did not exist before the evolution of digital technologies enabled
that. They were pioneers, and there were no established players to unseat. But we are also
seeing a similar dynamic in existing industries. New entrants are coming in and taking the
space, also using whole new experiences, purely because the incumbents left the door open.
3. Closer to home, this can be seen with Australian neobanks who are giving customers a
better experience than the incumbents. Robert Bell is the CEO at neobank 86400. He says
banking has already become quite complicated and he wanted to make a change. His neobank
is working to solve customers’ problems more holistically. Bell said, “It's significantly harder
work and takes more time to become a bank, but having done that we can have a much better
relationship with our customers and we can offer them a lot more products and services.”
4. Think about that for a moment. Do you notice how better experiences, leads to better
relationships, which is then the stepping stone for more offerings? Many brands still jump
straight to modified offerings, without gaining that customer connection and the necessary
foundation of trust first.
Choose an option (A, B, C, or D) that best answers each question.

A. They are the one and only companies providing such revolutionary services.
B. Prior to their advent, there were already several competitors in the field.
C. They were the trailblazers for the experience-oriented marketing strategy.
D. Their reputation famously preceded even the 4th Industrial Revolution.
109. According to paragraph 3, what is the attitude of Robert Bell towards the customers?
A. He views them as the golden goose for his business.
B. He displays worship in its purest form towards them.
C. He sees them as modern slaves to consumerism.
