Culture is a word in common use with complex meanings, and is derived, like the term broadcasting, from the treatment
and care of the soil and of what grows on it. It is directly related to cultivation and the adjectives cultural and cultured are
part of the same verbal complex. A person of culture has identifiable attributes, among them a knowledge of and interest
in the arts, literature, and music. Yet the word culture does not refer solely to such knowledge and interest nor, indeed, to
education. At least from the 19th century onwards, under the influence of anthropologists and sociologists, the word
culture has come to be used generally both in the singular and the plural (cultures) to refer to a whole way of life of
people, including their customs, laws, conventions, and values.
Distinctions have consequently been drawn between primitive and advanced culture and cultures, between elite and
popular culture, between popular and mass culture, and most recently between national and global cultures. Distinctions
have been drawn too between culture and civilization; the latter is a word derived not, like culture or agriculture, from the
soil, but from the city. The two words are sometimes treated as synonymous. Yet this is misleading. While civilization
and barbarism are pitted against each other in what seems to be a perpetual behavioural pattern, the use of the word
culture has been strongly influenced by conceptions of evolution in the 19th century and of development in the 20th
century. Cultures evolve or develop. They are not static. They have twists and turns. Styles change. So do fashions. There
are cultural processes. What, for example, the word cultured means has changed substantially since the study of classical
(that is, Greek and Roman) literature, philosophy, and history ceased in the 20th century to be central to school and
university education. No single alternative focus emerged, although with computers has come electronic culture, affecting
kinds of study, and most recently digital culture. As cultures express themselves in new forms not everything gets better
or more civilized.
The multiplicity of meanings attached to the word made and will make it difficult to define. There is no single,
unproblematic definition, although many attempts have been made to establish one. The only non-problematic definitions
go back to agricultural meaning (for example, cereal culture or strawberry culture) and medical meaning (for example,
bacterial culture or penicillin culture). Since in anthropology and sociology we also acknowledge culture clashes, culture
shock, and counter-culture, the range of reference is extremely wide.
Câu 1 According to the passage, the word culture____.
A. is related to the preparation and use of land for farming
B. develops from Greek and Roman literature and history
C. comes from a source that has not been identified D. derives from the same root as civilization does

Recent technological advances in manned and unmanned vehicles, along with breakthroughs in satellite technology and
computer equipment, have overcome some of the limitations of divers and diving equipment for scientists doing research
on the great oceans of the world. Without a vehicle, divers often became sluggish, and their mental concentration was
severely limited. Because undersea pressure affects their speech organs, communication among divers has always been
difficult or impossible. But today, most oceanographers avoid the use of vulnerable human divers, preferring to reduce the

risk to human life and make direct observations by means of instruments that are lowered into the ocean, from samples
take from the water, or from photographs made by orbiting satellites. Direct observations of the ocean floor can be made
not only by divers but also by deep-diving submarines in the water and even by the technology of sophisticated aerial
photography from vantage points above the surface of more than seven miles and cruise at depths of fifteen thousand feet.
In addition, radio-equipped buoys can be operated by remote control in order to transmit information back to land-based
laboratories via satellite. Particularly important for ocean study are data about water temperature, currents, and weather.
Satellite photographs can show the distribution of sea ice, oil slicks, and cloud formations over the ocean. Maps created
from satellite pictures can represent the temperature and the color of the ocean's surface, enabling researchers to study the
ocean currents from laboratories on dry land. Furthermore, computers help oceanographers to collect, organize, and
analyze data from submarines and satellites. By creating a model of the ocean's movement and characteristics, scientists
can predict the patterns and possible effects of the ocean on the environment.
Recently, many oceanographers have been relying more on satellites and computers than on research ships or even
submarine vehicles because they can supply a greater range of information more quickly and more effectively. Some of
humankind's most serious problems, especially those concerning energy and food, may be solved with the help of
observations made possible by this new technology.
