Many people have forgotten what the world was like before TV. But today it has become an

to try to decide (36)_______ it is bad or good.
First of all, TV is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a (37)_______ cheap
one. For a family of 4, for example, it is more convenient as well as cheaper to sit comfortably at home
than to go out. They don’t have to pay for expensive tickets. All they have to do is to turn on TV and
they can see films, political discussions and the latest exciting football matches. Some people say that
this is fist where the danger lies. The TV viewers need do nothing: they (38)______ no choices, they’re

politics. A lot of good films, music programs have appeared recently on TV. (39)_______ here again

correct answer to each of the questions from 41 to 45.
A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s
sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off - if it is milked from a cow at night.
Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin, which has been proven to
help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.
The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk

powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.
Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and
less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in
The Journal of Medicinal Food.
Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.
While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now,
taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.
Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the
calcium content, which helps people to relax.
Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the
best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater
burden you will put on your body at night.
Question 41: According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk _________.
A. started sleep more easily
B. were more anxious
C. were less active
D. woke up later
Question 42: Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?
A. It’s been tested on mice for ten years
B. It can make people more energetic
C. It exists in milk in great amount
D. It’s used in sleeping drugs
Question 43: What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Night Milk and Sleep
B. Fat Sugar and Health
C. An Experiment on Mice
D. Milk Drinking and Health
Question 44: How does the author support the theme of the text?
A. By giving examples.
B. By stating arguments.

C. By explaining statistical data.
D. By providing research results.
Question 45: The word “nod off” in the passage is closest in meaning to _______.
A. feel relaxed
B. sit up
C. fall asleep
D. shake head

The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be
blank and empty when the individual has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also indicate
stubbornness and resistance, apprehension, or discomfort. Silence may be viewed by some cultural
groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore, attempts may be made to fill every gap with conversation.
Persons in other cultural groups value silence and see it as essential to understanding a person’s needs.
Many American Indians have this latter view of silence, as do some traditional Chinese and
Japanese persons. Therefore, when one of these persons is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be
implied is that the person wants the nurse to consider the content of what has been said before
continuing.
Other cultures may use silence in yet other ways. For example, English and Arabic persons use
silence for privacy, whereas Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to indicate agreement
between parties. Some persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly
toward an elder. Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather
than showing the disrespect of disagreement.
Nurses need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence so that personal anxiety does not
promote the silence to be interrupted prematurely or to be nontherapeutic. A nurse who understands the
therapeutic value of silence can use this understanding to enhance the care of clients from other cultures.

Question 46: What does the author say about silence in conversations?
A. It implies anger
B. It promotes friendship
C. It is culture-specific
D. It is content-based
Question 47: Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?
A. The Japanese
B. The French
C. The Mexicans
D. The Russians
Question 48: What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?
A. Let it continue as the patient pleases
B. Break it while treating patients
C. Evaluate its harm to patients
D. Make use of its healing effects
Question 49: The word “essential” in the passage is closest in meaning to _______.
A. necessary
B. dispensable
C. indicative
D. insignificant
Question 50: What may be the best title for the text?
A. Sound and Silence
B. What It Means to Be Silent
C. Silence to Native Americans
D. Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold

Harvard’s campus paper “Harvard Crimson” called Bill Gates “Harvard’s most successful

correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
There are many ways of communicating without using speech. Signals, signs, symbols and
gestures may be found in every known culture. The basic function of a signal is to impinge upon the
environment in such a way that it attracts attention, as, for example, the dots and dashes of telegraph
circuit. Coded to refer to speech, the potential for communication is very great. While less adaptable to
the codification of words, sings contain greater meaning in and of themselves. A top sign or a barber
pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently. Symbols are more difficult to describe than either
signals or signs because of their intricate relationship with the receiver’s cultural perceptions. In some

Trang 3/5

cultures, applauding in a theater provides performers with an auditory symbol of approval. Gestures such
as waving and handshaking also communicate certain cultural messages.
Although signals, signs, symbols and gestures are very useful, they do have a major disadvantage.
They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to the receiver.
As a result, means of communication intended to be used for long distances and extended periods are
based upon speech. Radio, television and the telephone are only a few of such means.
Question 36: According to this passage, a signal is ______.
A. more difficult to describe than forms of communication
B. an interruption in the environment
C. less able to to be adapted to refer to speech
D. none of these
Question 37: Applauding was cited as an example of ______.
A. a signal
B. a sign
C. a symbol
D. a gesture
Question 38: It may be concluded from the passage that ______.
A. symbols are very easy to define and interpret
B. only some cultures have signals, signs and symbols
C. waving and handshaking are not related to culture
D. signs, signals, symbol and gestures are forms of communication
Question 39: The underlined word “intricate” could best replaced by ______.
A. inefficient
B. historical
C. feasible
D. complicated

Question 40: Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Means of communications
B. Gestural communication
C. Signs and signals
D. Speech variations
