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 fullblown 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 behavior must be repeated again and
again. OCD sufferers know their behavior is irrational, yet feel powerless to 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.’

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.
By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can considerably increase
their children’s language development. It is surprising, but true. How parents talk to their children makes a
big difference in the children’s language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to
what the parent is reading, the child’s language skills increase.
A study was done with two or three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the thirty children
participants were in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental

group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended
questions rather than yes-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, “What is the doggy doing?”
rather than, “Is the doggy running away?” Experimental parents were also instructed how to expand on their
children’s answer, how to suggest alternative possibilities, and how to praise correct answers.
At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ on levels of language development, but at the
end of one month, the children in the experimental group were 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a
test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still
showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.
Câu 36: Parents can give great help to their children’s language development by………them.
