Read the following and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions from 21 to 25.
Is intimate friendship a relationship that is dying out in modern society? In our busy lives, we have many acquaintances
and friends - the people we work with, our neighbours, the people we chat to at the local shop and so on. But how many
really close friendships can we count? The truth for most of us is probably not many. Some psychologists say that while
we still value strong family bonds, in recent times, friendships have lost the strength and importance that they had in the
past.
According to a study published recently in the USA, friendships in America have been declining in quality and quantity
since at least 1985. It claims that 25% of Americans don't have anyone they could call a close friend. Yet, on the
surface, Americans seem extremely friendly people. If you have ever visited the USA, you will be familiar with the
warmth and hospitality that they show to complete strangers. Everyone can be treated as a 'buddy', even if they are just
a casual acquaintance.
But in other cultures, acquaintances and friendships have different qualities. In France, for example, when you are trying
to get to know a person, they may seem rather unfriendly and the length of time it takes to form a strong friendship
seems greater than in other countries. This is because for the French there is still a clear distinction between a casual
acquaintance and a true friend. Although France is changing and perhaps becoming more like America, there is no doubt
that French people are still more private in their friendships and that they reserve real intimacy for their closest friends.
This intimacy can be found in many other non-western cultures too, where great importance is attached to the quality of
friendships. It is something that many of us in the West have forgotten and need to rediscover.
Câu 21. The word It in paragraph 2 refers to______.
A. the American B. quantity C. the study D. quality
Câu 22. According to paragraph 2, a study in the USA suggested that_______.
A. form a strong friendship is not time-consuming.
B. more and more people hesitate to make friends nowadays
C. having an opposite-sex friend has been the norm
D. there has been a decline in friendships

B. The quality of friendships is paid much attention in several non-western cultures.
C. Strong family relationships have gradually been neglected in society.

The fact that studies show that women's job satisfaction generally is not lower than men's has been (26)_______as a
paradox, given that women's jobs often are inferior with respect to pay autonomy and promotional opportunities.
(27)_______ the results from this study indicate that job satisfaction has more to do with the level of education than of
gender. However, this does not have to contradict previous findings demonstrating that women are more prone to be
intrinsically motivated while men have a tendency to be extrinsically motivated. When considering job satisfaction, the

Read the following and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions from 42 to 48.
Everybody feels irritated by their siblings from time to time. Maybe your younger brother shows off and behaves in an
immature way when you invite your friends to your house. Or perhaps your hardworking older sister gets a lot of praise
from your parents, making you feel like you are not trying hard enough. At times, your brother or sister can feel like
your worst enemy. But your relationship can improve greatly with a bit of effort and understanding.
Sibling relationships can be especially difficult for teenagers, who are experiencing many changes to their preferences
and personality. For example, you may now find some of the activities that you used to enjoy doing with your younger
brother childish or a waste of time. At times, the age difference can feel bigger than it really is, and this can have a
negative effect on your relationship. One way to solve this problem is to make sure you continue to include your brother
or sister in your day-to-day life. This can take some time, so it is important to be patient and enthusiastic.
Of course, it is perfectly normal for brothers and sisters to fall out with one another over small things. But you should
not try to let incidents like these have too big an effect on your relationship. It is important to learn to forgive your
siblings for this kind of behaviour, just as you would forgive your close friends. In situations like these, it is really
important to let your sibling know how you feel. Rather than insulting your sister when she takes your things, tell her
that it makes you feel angry, and that you would feel much happier if she asked you first. It's also crucial that you
are sensitive to the feelings of your siblings too.
Finally, it is important to learn how to compromise. It is understandable that you may not want to lend your favourite
jumper to your unreliable sister, but maybe you could offer her a less valuable alternative item of clothing. Or if your
brother likes to spend all his free time watching football and you find it boring, you could suggest a different sport that
you follow regularly together. And if you make the effort to make your sibling happy, he or she will do the same for
you.
