Computer programmer David Jones earns £35,000 a year designing new computer games,
yet he cannot find a bank prepared to let him have a cheque card. Instead, he has been told to wait
another two years, until he is 18.

The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of
his age is finding a job. David's firm releases two new games for the expanding home computer
market each month. But David's biggest headache is what to do with his money. Despite his salary,
earned by inventing new programs within tight schedules, with bonus payments and profit-sharing,
he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage, or obtain credit cards. He lives with his parents in their
council house in Liverpool, where his father is a bus driver.

His company has to pay £150 a month in taxi fares to get him the five miles to work and back
every day because David cannot drive.

Đọc và trả lời các câu hỏi từ câu 36 đến câu 40

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.

Last week I went to visit Atlantic College, an excellent private college in Wales. Unusually, it gives
people much needed experience of life outside the classroom, as well as the opportunity to study for their
exams. The students, who are aged between 16 and 18 and come from all over the word, spend the
morning studying. In the afternoon, they go out and do a really useful activity, such as helping on the farm,
looking after people with learning difficulties, or checking for pollution in rivers.

One of the great things about Atlantic College students is that they come from many different social
backgrounds and countries. As few can afford the fees of £20,000 over two years, grants are available. A
quarter of students are British, and many of those can only attend because they receive government help.

FUTURE JOBS

The Trump campaign ran on bringing jobs back to American shores, although mechanization has
been the biggest reason for manufacturing jobs' disappearance. Similar losses have led to populist
movements in several other countries. But instead of a pro-job growth future, economists across the board
predict further losses as Al, robotics, and other technologies continue to be ushered in. What is up for
debate is how quickly this is likely to occur.

</div>
(51)<div class='page_container' data-page=51>

developed nations on earth will see job loss rates of up to 47% within the next 25 years, according to a
recent Oxford study. "No government is prepared," The Economist reports. These include blue and white
collar jobs. So far, the loss has been restricted to the blue collar variety, particularly in manufacturing.

To combat "structural unemployment" and the terrible blow, it is bound to deal the American people,
Bilger has formed a nonprofit called Working Nation, whose mission it is to warn the public and to help
make plans to safeguard them from this worrisome trend. Not only is the entire concept of employment
about to change in a dramatic fashion, the trend is irreversible. The venture capitalist called on
corporations, academia, government, and nonprofits to cooperate in modernizing our workforce.

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 35 to 42.

Clothing is a distinctly human artifact. Even more than the use of tools, it distinguishes humans
from the other creatures on this planet. While there are other creatures which use implements to a
greater or lesser degree, clothing is unique to humanity. Clothing is also uniquely human, in that it
serves more than one function.

The basic purpose of clothing was utilitarian. By putting on an artificial skin, humans were able to
move into regions for which they would otherwise have been unsuited. An extreme example of this
use of clothing can be seen among the Eskimos, and other people who live in extreme climates.
However, clothing was not only used for protection from the elements, but has also been a means of
displaying one's status and sense of style for as long as humans have had civilization. Thus clothing
also developed in countries where there is no real practical need for it, apart from the other, very
human function of preserving the modesty of the wearer.

Clothing tells us many things about the wearer. It can be used to indicate whether she is a member
of a particular group or organization, the most extreme example of this type of clothing being a
uniform. It tells us a lot about the importance of clothing that the clothes a person was wearing have
been, literally, the difference between life and death. In war, soldiers recognize friends and enemies
by their uniforms. Spies may be shot if captured, but if they go about their business in the uniform of
their country, they are regarded as legitimate members of that country's armed forces.

Uniforms can also be less formal. Anyone who has seen a group of teenagers walking together will
have noticed that their clothing conforms to the standard set by their particular group. Nor are teens
the only ones who are subject to such pressures. It is a rare businessman who does not feel the need to
wear a suit and tie. Most politicians also try to be neat and well-dressed. People who wish to impress
others often do so by the selection of their clothes-sometimes by choosing more expensive versions.
This can be seen particularly in the fashion industry, where clothing by a particular designer fetches
prices which are out of all proportion to the actual utilitarian value of the material.

Therefore, even though we are steadily managing to adjust our micro-environments to
temperatures which are as close to ideal as the human body wants, and even though sexual taboos of
undress are being steadily eroded, it is highly unlikely that there will be no use for clothing in our
future, unless humanity evolves into a completely new species.

Question 35: Clothes are uniquely human because they_________.

A. are artifacts B. have many different functions

C. are made by tools D. are worn when they are unnecessary
Question 36: Which of the following does the author NOT give as a function of clothing?

A. To show how wealthy or powerful the wearer is

C. To adjust our micro-environment
D. To avoid indecency

Question 37: According to the article, uniforms _______.

A. are mainly worn by soldiers B. have many functions

C. show membership of a group D. are always worn by teenagers
Question 38: In paragraph 3, the word "captured" closely means_______.

A. recognized B. returned C. arrested D. trapped
Question 39: Which of the following groups of people do not necessarily dress formally?

A. business people B. teenagers C. politicians D. soldiers

A. is ridiculous B. is a part of its social function

correct answer to each of the questions from 19 to 26.

Who talk more - men or women? Most people believe that women talk more. However, linguist
Deborah Tannen, who has studied the communication style of men and women, says that this is a
stereotype. According to Tannen, women are more verbal - talk more - in private situations, where

they use conversation as the "glue" to hold relationships together. But, she says, men talk more in
public situations, where they use conversation to exchange information and gain status. Tannen points
out that we can see these differences even in children. Little girls often play with one "best friend",
their play includes a lot of conversation. Little boys often play games in groups; their play usually
involves more doing than talking. In school, girls are often better at verbal skills, boys are often better
at mathematics.

Parents complain that it is difficult to live with teenagers. Then again, teenagers say
exactly the same thing about their parents! According to a recent survey, the most common
arguments between parents and teenagers are those regarding untidiness and household
chores. On the one hand, parents go mad over untidy rooms, clothes dropped on the floor

their patience continually when parents tell them off for dropping the towel in the bathroom,
not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket.

between parents and teens can be solved.

correct answer to each of the questions from 20 to 24.

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.

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.

Question 20.It can be inferred from the passage that social workers, employers, and politicians concern themselves
with the study of learning because they need to ______.

A. understand how a stimulus relates to the senses of the objects of their interest.
B. change the behaviors of the objects of their interest towards learning.

C. thoroughly understand the behaviors of the objects of their interest.

D. make the objects of their interest more aware of the importance of learning.

Question 21. The word "retrieves" in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _______.

A. generates B. gains C. create D. recovers

Question 22. The passage mainly discusses ______.

A. practical examples of learning inside the classroom. B. simple forms of learning.

C. general principles of learning. D. application of learning principles to formal education.

Question 23.Which of the following can be inferred about the learning process from the passage?
A. It plays a crucial part in improving the learner's motivation in school.

B. It is more interesting and effective in school than that in life.

C. It takes place more frequently in real life than in academic institutions.
D. It becomes less challenging and complicated when people grow older.

Question 24. According to the passage, what are children NOT usually taught outside the classroom?

A. life skills B. interpersonal communication

C. right from wrong D. literacy and calculation

IV. Mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the word that differs from the other three

letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether
