Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the

correct answer to each of the questions from 45 to 54.
If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius (thiên tài), they will
cause a disaster. According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes
which ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his parents expect, and
will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children.
However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are
ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well – especially if the parents are very
supportive of their child. Michael Collins is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him a
lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50
kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Michael’s mother knows very little about music, but his father
plays the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is
unwilling. Winston Smith, Michael’s friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful
musicians, and they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are
and so they enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win.
Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.

A. push their child into trying too much

Question 47: Who have criticized the methods of some ambitious parents?
A. Successful musicians. B. Unrealistic parents. C. Their children. D. Educational psychologists.
Question 48: Michael Collins is fortunate in that ______.
A. his father is a musician

B. his parents are quite rich

C. his mother knows little about music

D. his parents help him in a sensible way

Question 49: The phrase "crazy about" in the passage mostly means ______.

A. successful parents always have intelligent children
B. successful parents often have unsuccessful children

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 55 to 64.
Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child’s upbringing can give it the ability to
do outstandingly well. Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it is simply something
a person is born with. Others, however, argue that the potential for great achievement can be develop. The
truth lies somewhere between these two extremes.
It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase a
child’s ability to do well. However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing and
opportunities. As one psychologist says, “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel.”
Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical twins
that were separated shortly birth and brought up by different parents. They found that achievement was
based on intelligence, and later influenced by the child’s environment.
One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted. One of the twins received a normal
upbringing, and performed well. The other twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportive parents
and given every possible opportunity to develop its abilities. That twin, though starting out with the same
degree of intelligence as the other, performed even better.
This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability. The more favorable the
environment, the more a child’s intelligence and ability are developed. However, there is no link between
intelligence and socioeconomic level of a child’s family. In other words, it does not matter how poor or how
rich a family is, as this does not affect the intelligence.
Gifted people can not be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them. One
professor of music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than ordinary
performers, often because their parents had recognized their ability. These musicians then needed at least ten
years’ hard work and training in order to reach the level they were capable of attaining.
People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice:
- Marry an intelligent person.

- Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents.
- Start a child’s education early but avoid pushing the child too hard.
- Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instrument is essential for a child who
wants to become an outstanding musician.
Question 55: When scientists studied intelligence and ability in twins, they found that ______.
A. different twins generally have different levels of ability
B. ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement
C. intelligence and development are irrelevant to ability
D. ability depends both on intelligence and environment
Question 56: Scientists chose twins for their study because ______.
A. they are born into the same family, hence the same upbringing
B. they have the same genetic background, usually with similar intelligence
C. they have the same economic background and hence the same opportunities
D. each twin has the same environment as his/ her twin
Question 57: How were great musicians different from ordinary musicians in their development?
A. Their ability was realized at an early stage and then nurtured
B. They practice playing their instruments for many years
C. They were exceptionally intelligent and artistic
D. They concentrated on music to the exclusion of other areas
Question 58: The writer advises that gifted children should be allowed to follow ______.
A. only their interests in computer games

B. only their interests in musical instruments

C. their own interests

D. their parents’ interests

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions .
Most people go to a doctor in their own town or suburbs. But people in the Australian outback can’t
get to a doctor quickly. The nearest doctor is sometimes hundreds of kilometers away so they have to call
him on a two-way radio. This special doctor is call the "flying doctor". He visits sick people by plane.
When someone is sick, the doctor has to fly to the person's home. His plane lands on a flat piece of
ground near the person's house. Sometimes the doctor has to take the patient to hospital. Flying doctors take
about 8,600 people to hospital each year.
However, most of the time the person isn't very sick, and the doctor doesn't have to visit. He can give
advice on the radio from the office at the flying doctor center. He can tell the patient to use some medicine
from a special medicine chest. There is one of these chests in every home in the outback. Each bottle, tube
and packet in the chest has a number. The doctor often says something like this, "Take two tablets from
bottle number 5 every four hours."

She and her husband began talking to the children who had keys. They learned of the effect working
couples and single parents were having on their children. Fear was the biggest problem faced by children at
home alone. One in three latchkey children the Longs talked to reported being frightened. Many had
nightmares and were worried about their own safety.

LEVEL OF VOCABULARY
Most languages have several levels of vocabulary that may be used by the same speakers. In English, at
least three have been identified and described.
Standard usage includes those words and expressions understood, used, and accepted by a majority of the
speakers of a language in any situation regardless of the level of formality. As such, these words and
expression are well defined and listed in standard dictionaries. Colloquialisms, on the other hand, are
familiar words and idioms that are understood by almost all speakers of a language and used in informal
speed or writing, but not considered acceptable for more formal situations. Almost all idiomatic expressions

are colloquial language. Slang, refers to words and expressions understood by a large number of speakers
but not accepted as appropriate formal usage by the majority.
Colloquial expressions and even slang may be found in standard dictionaries but will be so identified.
Both colloquial usage and slang are more common in speech than writing. Colloquial speech often passes
into standard speech. Some slang also passes into standard speech, but other slang expressions enjoy
momentary popularity followed by obscurity. In some cases, the majority never accepts certain slang
phrases but nevertheless retains them in their collective memories. Every generation seems to require its
own set of words to describe familiar objects and events.
