A MEXICAN COOKERY COURSE
On holiday last year my two travelling (0. COMPANY) companions and I joined a day's cookery
course in a Mexican restaurant. There were eight (41. PARTICIPATE), all keen to learn the secrets of the
Trang

nation's cuisine. The students ranged from people who already had some (42. EXPERT)in the kitchen, to
totally (43. SKILL)people like myself.

Our teacher, Liana Cabrera, started with a short talk, then handed out some notes giving (44.
EXPLAIN) of terms we'd be coming across. Soon we were trying out a range of exotic ingredients, with
(45. SURPRISE) good results. Cabrera started giving cookery lessons five years ago, and has become quite
a (46. CELEBRATE)with long waiting lists for her courses. And because of her extensive knowledge of
almost-forgotten regional dishes she is also a regular (47. CONTRIBUTE)to cookery programs on national
television.
In the afternoon I joined the salsa-making team, with rather (48. DISASTER)results. My
colleagues complained that my food was so (49. PAIN)hot it made their eyes water. Their own efforts
turned out (50. CONSIDER)better than mine. The communal meal at the end of the day was delicious, and
I'd not only learnt something about cooking, but I'd also broadened my understanding of Mexican culture.

Your answers:
Cleaner wrasses are small marine fish / feed on the parasites living
on the bodies of larger fish. Each cleaner owns a ‘station’ on a reef
where clientele come get their mouths and teeth cleaned. Client fish

come in two varieties: residents and roamers. Residents belong species
with small territories; they have no choice to go to their local cleaner.
Roamers, on the hand, either hold large territories or travel widely,
means that they have several cleaning stations to choose from. The
cleaner wrasses sometimes ‘cheat’. This occurs when the fish takes a
bite out its client, feeding on healthy mucus. This makes the client jolt
and swim away. Roamers more likely to change stations if a cleaner
has ignored for too long or cheated them. Cleaners seem to know this:
if a roamer and a resident arrive at the time, the cleaner almost always
services the roamer first. Residents can kept waiting.

AND TECHNOLOGY
If you want your daughter to succeed, buy her a toy construction set. That is the advice from

Britain’s (71) female engineers and scientists. Marie-Noelle Barton, who heads an Engineering Council
campaign to encourage girls into science and engineering, maintains that some of Britain’s most successful
women have had their careers (72)by the toys they played with as children. Even girls who end
(73)nowhere near a microchip or microscope could benefit from a better (74)of science and technology.
‘It’s a (75)of giving them experience and confidence with technology so that when they are (76)
___________________with a situation requiring some technical know-how, they feel they can handle it
and don’t just (77)defeat immediately,’ says Mrs. Barton. ‘I believe that lots of girls feel unsure of
themselves when it comes (78) _________________ technology and therefore they might be losing out
on jobs because they are reluctant even to apply for them.’ Research recently carried (79) suggests that
scientific and constructional toys should be (80)
to girls from an early age,
otherwise the result is ‘socialisation’ into stereotypically female character, which may explain why
relatively few girls study science and engineering at university in Britain.

III. Read the following passage and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to complete each sentence.
(10.0 pts)

Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviors. It is
common to think of learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human learning occurs
outside the classroom, and people continue to learn throughout their lives.
Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to
manipulate toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds,
tastes, and smells in their environments. They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, friends, and
other people important to their world. When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such
as reading, writing, and mathematics. They also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom. They
learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished. They learn social
skills for interacting with other children. After they finish school, people must learn to adapt to the many
major changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a
job.
Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of
learning is important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate
children. Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to
understand how certain experiences change people’s behaviors. Employers, politicians, and advertisers
make use of the principles of learning to influence the behavior of workers, voters, and consumers.
Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain.
Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage
takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge when we need it. In contrast, psychologists who
study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person’s
experiences.
There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex. Simple forms of learning
involve a single stimulus. A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell,
touch, or taste. In a form of learning known as classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli
that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thunder. In operant conditioning, people learn by
forming an association between a behavior and its consequences (reward or punishment). People and
animals can also learn by observation - that is, by watching others perform behaviors. More complex forms
of learning include learning languages, concepts, and motor skills.
