and the heart.
The role of the heart in love must come from what happens to it when a person feels strongly (27)

According to psychologists, a love relationship is a situation that (28) ___________a lot of stress

reaction, meeting danger by fighting it or running away. So with love, the heart accelerates and ( 29)

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 30 to 34.
When we accept the evidence of our unaided eyes and describe the Sun as a yellow star, we have
summed up the most important single fact about it-at this moment in time.
It appears probable, however, that sunlight will be the color we know for only a negligibly small
part of the Sun's history. Stars, like individuals, age and change. As we look out into space, we see around
us stars at all stages of evolution. There are faint blood-red dwarfs so cool that their surface temperature is
a mere 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit, there are "searing ghosts" blazing at 100,000 degrees Fahrenheit and
almost too hot to be seen, for the great part of their radiation is in the invisible ultraviolet range.
Obviously, the "daylight" produced by any star depends on its temperature; today (and for ages to come)
our Sun is at about 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, and this means that most of the Sun's light is concentrated
in the yellow band of the spectrum, falling slowly in intensity toward both the longer and shorter light
waves. That yellow "hump" will shift as the Sun evolves, and the light of day will change accordingly. It
is natural to assume that as the Sun grows older, and uses up its hydrogen fuel-which it is now doing at
the spanking rate of half a billion tons a second- it will become steadily colder and redder.

Question 30. What is the passage mainly about?

 Ghi chú:

A. Faint dwarf stars.

...............................................

B. The evolutionary cycle of the Sun

...............................................

C. The Sun’s fuel problem

...............................................

correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.
Trang 8


The English are cold and reserved. Brazilians are lively and fun-loving, and the Japanese are shy
and hardworking - these are examples of national stereotypes which are widely believed, not only by
other nationalities but also by many people among the nationality themselves. But how much truth is

there in such stereotypes? Two psychologists, Robert McCrae and Antonio Terracciano, have investigated
the subject and the results of their research are surprising. They found that people from a particular
country do share some general characteristics, but that these characteristics are often very different from
the stereotype.
In the largest survey of its kind, a team of psychologists used personality tests to establish shared
characteristics among 49 different nationalities around the world. They then interviewed thousands of
people from these same groups and asked them to describe typical members of their own nationality. In
most cases the stereotype (how nationalities saw themselves) was very different from the results of the
personality tests (the reality).
For example, Italians and Russians thought of themselves as extrovert and sociable, but the
personality tests showed them to be much more introvert than they imagined. The Spanish saw
themselves as very extrovert, but also as rather lazy. In fact, the research showed them to be only
averagely extrovert and much more conscientious than they thought. Brazilians were quite neurotic - the
opposite of their own view of themselves. The Czechs and the Argentinians thought of themselves as badtempered and unfriendly, but they turned out to be among the friendliest of all nationalities. The English
were the nationality whose own stereotype was the furthest from reality. While they saw themselves as
reserved and closed, Dr McCrae’s research showed them to be among the most extrovert and openminded of the groups studied.The only nationality group in the whole study where people saw themselves
as they really are was the Poles – not especially extrovert, and slightly neurotic.
Dr McCrae and Dr Terracciano hope that their research will show that national stereotypes are
inaccurate and unhelpful and that this might improve international understanding - we’re all much more
alike than we think we are!

 Ghi chú:

A. The similarities in characteristics among nationality groups
