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.
Accidents do not occur at random. People eighty-five years of age and older are twenty-two times likely to
die accidentally than are children five to nine years old. The risk for native Americans is four times that for
Asian-Americans and twice that for white Americans or African-Americans. Males suffer accidents at more
than twice the rate of females, in part because they are more prone to risky behavior. Alaskans are more than
three times as likely as Rhode Islanders to die in an accident. Texans are twenty- one times more likely than
New Jerseyites to die in a natural disaster. Among the one hundred most populous counties, Kern County,
California (Bakersfield), has an accident fatality rate three times greater than Summit County, Ohio (Akron).
Accidents happen more often to poor people. Those living in poverty receive inferior medical care, are more
Trang 1/6 - Mã đề 004

apt to reside in houses with faulty heating and electrical systems, drive older cars with fewer safety features,

and are less likely to use safety belts. People in rural areas have more accidents than city or suburban dwellers
because farming is much riskier than working in a factory or office and because emergency medical services
are less readily available. These two factors - low income and rural residence - may explain why the south has
a higher accident rate than the north.

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.

Less than a year ago marketing director, David Smith, 33 was behaving like a secret agent.
He used to secretly tape all his conversations, he refused to sign his name and he would ask his
secretary to check all his emails. Anything he wrote was photocopied and kept as “evidence”.
But David isn’t mad, or even mildly eccentric. He suffers from ‘responsibility OCD’, one of more
common form of obsessive compulsive disorder, or OCD, as it is usually known.
OCD is now recognized as the second most prevalent mental-health problem, after
depression – and the number of reported cases is soaring. Experts estimate that 2% - 3% of the
population suffer from the full-blown syndrome, with as many as one in five suffering from a
milder form.
OCD sufferers are tortured by obsessional thoughts, such as worrying that their hands are
contaminated by germs. The terrible anxiety is only relieved by performing a particular set of
behaviors. Unfortunately, any sense of relief is short-lived, which is why the behaviour must be
repeated again and again. OCD sufferers know their behavior is irrational, yet feel powerless to
Trang 2/6 - Mã đề 004

stop.
Common treatments are either antidepressants or behavioral therapy with a psychologist,
but only 60% of patients show some improvement. However, a new treatment from America is
bringing fresh hope to sufferers.
One of the OCD gurus and neuropsychiatrists, Jeffrey Schwartz, has designed the Four
Steps program which employs meditation techniques with the aim of teaching sufferers to manage
their symptoms by themselves. “The goal is to learn to override false brain messages”, explains
Schwartz.

There are different theories about what causes the disorder. Most experts recognize a genetic
element that can be triggered by a stressful event. Schwartz believes that the OCD ‘worry circuit’
is a direct result of faulty brain chemistry. ‘When someone experiences an OCD thought, one
part of the brain knows quite clearly that the hand are not dirty’, explains Schwartz ‘Some part
of the brain is standing apart from the symptoms, reflecting on the sheer bizarreness of it all. The
objective is to harness this impartial spectator so that patients can use this healthy part of their
brain to resist the compulsions.’ David Smith is delighted with the results of Schwartz’s
treatment. ‘Now I can sign cheques without a problem’, he says brightly. ‘And I don’t photocopy
them either. OCD used to feel like a huge stigma, but I don’t feel handicapped by it any more.
You just deal with it.’
Câu 11: What is the word “mildly” in paragraph 1 closest in meaning to?

C. relatively
D. absolutely
Câu 12: The healthy part of an OCD sufferer’s brain ………………………...
A. is tricked into believing that there is no problem
B. recognizes that the person’s behaviour is strange
C. cannot resist the person’s new obsessions
D. needs to be protected in order to treat OCD
Câu 13: What does the word ‘override’ in paragraph 5 closest in meaning to?
A. overact
B. stimulate
C. correct
Câu 14: Jeffrey Schwartz believes that OCD is caused by………………. .
A. a stressful event
C. a malfunction of the brain
Câu 15: Which could be the best title for the passage?

D. stop

B. a genetic imbalance
D. a biochemical malfunction

A. Living with new OCD patients
B. The misery of living with OCD
C. Good news for OCD sufferers
D. A day in the life of an OCD sufferer
