Paragraph 1
Western people rely on technical and mechanical solutions in everything they
do. Refrigerators preserve their food, washing machines clean their underwear
and computers are supposed to solve all their problems. When they are ill, they
rely on the surgeon’s knife. If their hearts are running down, then they must be
repaired, if they cannot be repaired, they should be replaced, just as an old car
sometimes gets a new engine. But up to now we have had a shortage of donors
to give their hearts, to keep one person alive, another donor had to die.
Nowadays there is more and more talk about using monkeys. Every monkey has
a near-human heart, and humans have always been over careful in respecting
the lives and well-being of other animals. This includes the life and well-being
of other humans. Therefore, in the early years of the 22nd century - It was told
the mass killings of monkeys may occur. We’ll need to use their hearts for
human consumption.
Monkeys, on the whole, are happier creatures than their near relatives, Homo
sapiens, or man. They know fear, of course, and they face real dangers, but
they are also more intelligent than us. They create no unnecessary dangers for
themselves, they run no businesses, chase no money, are unimpressed by gold
– that utterly useless metal, and they do not care at all about hell or evil spirits.
I have a vague feeling that it is not monkeys’ hearts that we ought to implant in
ourselves, but monkeys’ brains.

Paragraph 2
One of the most renowned Spanish architects of all time was Antoni Gaudi.
Gaudi's emergence as one of 's preeminent artists at the end of the nineteenth
century marked a milestone in the art world.
Gaudi's popularity helped to bring about the acceptance and rebirth of the
Catalan language, which had been banned during the literature and art. Gaudi
shares his Catalonian background with two other famous Spanish artists, Pablo
Picasso and Miro. The diverse ethnic background of the region greatly
influenced the work of Picasso and Miro, as well as Gaudi. Thus, their works
were a combination of an old history and an active, vivid imaginary world. This
has sometimes been referred to as the “Catalan Mind.” Yet it was perhaps
Gaudi who had the greatest talent for bringing together diverse groups, ones
which others viewed as being too diametrically opposed to be capable of
coming together and co-existing amicably.
This was apparent not only in the artists and other individuals who surrounded
him, but also in the varied styles and techniques he employed in his
architecture. Much of his work can be seen in , where his structures are known
as a fine representation of modernism. He also used a great variety of color in
his buildings, and this art nouveau is often associated with his own unique style
of design. All of these factors are what helped put him at the forefront of art
movements to come: his unique ability to take on and transform traditional
Spanish elements with the emerging diverse ethnic groups, merging these with
his own fertile imagination, and consequently turning these forces into some of
the greatest architecture the world has ever seen.

An example of a bizarre occurrence regarding a species of frog dates from the
summer of 1995, when 'an explosion' of multi-coloured frogs of the species
Rana klepton esculenta occurred in the Netherlands. Normally these frogs are
brown and greenish-brown, but some unknown contributory factor is turning
these frogs yellow and/or orange. Nonetheless, so far, the unusual bi- and even
tri-coloured frogs are functioning similarly to their normal-skinned
contemporaries. It is thought that frogs with lighter coloured skins might be
more likely to survive in an increasingly warm climate due to global warming.

People appear to be born to compute. The numerical skills of children develop
so early and so inexorably that it is easy to imagine an internal clock of
mathematical maturity guiding their growth. Not long after learning to walk and
talk, they can set the table with impressive accuracy — one plate, oneknife, one
spoon, one fork, for each of the five chairs. Soon they are capable of noting that
theyhave placed five knives, spoons, and forks on the table and, a bit later, that
this amounts to fifteen pieces of silverware. Having thus mastered addition, they
move on to subtraction. It seems almost reasonable to expect that if a child were
secluded on a desert island at birth and retrieved seven years later, he or she
could enter a second-grade mathematics class without any serious problems of
intellectual adjustment.
Of course, the truth is not so simple. This century, the work of cognitive
psychologists has illuminated the subtle forms of daily learning on which
intellectual progress depends. Children were observed as they slowly grasped
— or, as the case might be, bumped into — concepts that adults take for
granted, as they refused, for instance, to concede that quantity is unchanged as
water pours from a short stout glass into a tall thin one. Psychologists have
since demonstrated that young children, asked to count the pencils in a pile,
readily report the number of blue or red pencils, but must be coaxed into finding
the total. Such studies have suggested that the rudiments of mathematics are
mastered gradually, and with effort. They have also suggested that the very
concept of abstract numbers — the idea of a oneness, a twoness, a threeness that
applies to any class of objects and is a prerequisite for doing anything more
mathematically demanding than setting a table — is itself far from innate.

When was the last time you saw a frog? Chances are, if you live in a city, you have
not seen one for some time. Even in wet areas once teeming with frogs and toads, it
is becoming less and less easy to find those slimy, hopping and sometimes
poisonous members of the animal kingdom. All over the world, even in remote
jungles on the far side of the globe, frogs are losing the ecological battle for
survival, and biologists are at a loss to explain their demise. Are amphibians simply
over-sensitive to changes in the ecosystem? Could their rapid decline in numbers
be signalling some coming environmental disaster for us all?

This frightening scenario is in part the consequence of a dramatic increase over
the last quarter century in the development of once natural areas of wet
marshland; home not only to frogs but to all manner of wildlife. Yet, there are
no obvious reasons why certain frog species are disappearing from rainforests in
the Southern Hemisphere which are barely touched by human hand. The
mystery is unsett1ing to say the least, for it is known that amphibian species are
extremely sensitive to environmental variations in temperature and moisture
levels. The danger is that planet Earth might not only lose a vital link in the
ecological food chain (frogs keep populations of otherwise pestilent insects at
manageable levels), but we might be increasing our output of air pollutants to
levels that may have already become irreversible. Frogs could be inadvertently
warning us of a catastrophe.

Rock Band
Two years ago, our 14-year-old son, Ben, asked us for a set of drums for his
birthday. At first, we were very much against the idea because of the noise. ‘It’s
better than watching television or playing computer games in my free time,’
Ben argued, ‘and it’ll keep me out of trouble.’
In the end we gave in. ‘All right,’ we said, ‘but you must consider the rest of
the family and the neighbours when you play.’
That was just the beginning. Because drums are not the easiest instruments to
transport, the other members of Ben’s band started appearing at our home with
their guitars and other electrical equipment. And so, for several hours a week, the
house shakes to the noise of their instruments and their teenage singing.
At least Ben’s hobby has been good for our health: whenever the band start
practising, my husband and I go out for a long walk. And I must admit that,
although their music may sound a little strange, they are a friendly and polite
group of young men. I cannot judge their musical skill - after all I didn’t expect
my parents’ generation to like the same music as I did when I was a teenager -
but they do play regularly in local clubs for young people.
Our main worry is that they won’t spend enough time on their school work
because of their musical activities, though this hasn’t happened yet. I am always
lOMoARcPSD|45315597

was right: it has kept him out of trouble and he is never bored.

The painter Craigie Aitchison was born in Scotland. He came to London
intending to study law, but went to art school instead. There he found
the traditional drawing classes difficult, but still kept on painting.
In his late twenties he was given money by the Italian government to study art,
and became interested in early Italian artists, which shows in some of his work.
He loved the greens and browns of the Italian fields and the clear light there, and
wanted to put this light into his paintings.
This led him to paint colours thinly one on top of another from light to dark, but
he insists he's never sure what the results will be. He says, 'It's a secret - because
I don't know myself. I don't start by painting yellow, knowing I'm going to put
anything on top.' Like most talented people, Aitchison makes it sound easy.
'Anyone can do the colours - you can buy them. I simply notice what you put
the colours next to.'
Unlike some artists, he never does drawings before he starts a painting, as he
feels that if he did, he might get bored and not do the painting afterwards.
Instead, Aitchison changes his paintings many times before they are finished.
lOMoARcPSD|45315597
This explains why his favourite models are people who don't ask to see their
pictures while he's painting them. 'If I feel they're worried and want to look at
the painting, I can't do it.'
Since moving to London years ago, he has not felt part of the Scottish painting
scene. He says he is not interested in following any tradition, but just paints the
way he can. However, his work still influences young British painters.

text? Chọn một câu trả lời:
a. He did some paintings for the Italian government.
b. He works in a different way from other artists. Câu trả lời đúng
c. He often gets bored with his paintings.
d. He improved his drawing by going to art school.
As many as one thousand years ago in the Southwest, the Hopi and Zuni Indians
of North America were building with adobe — sun-baked brick plastered with
mud. Their homes looked remarkably like modem apartment houses. Some were
four stories high and contained quarters for perhaps a thousand people, along
with storerooms for grain and other goods. These buildings were usually put up
against cliffs, both to make construction easier and for defense against enemies.
They were really villages in themselves, as later Spanish explorers must have
realized since they called them “pueblos,” which is Spanish for towns.
The people of the pueblos raised what are called “the three sisters” — corns,
beans, and squash. They made excellent pottery and wove marvelous baskets,
some so fine that they could hold water. The Southwest has always been a dry
country, where water is scarce. The Hopi and Zuni brought water from streams
to their fields and gardens through irrigation ditches. Water was so important
that it played a major role in their religion. They developed elaborate
ceremonies and religious rituals to bring rain.
The way of life of less-settled groups was simpler and more strongly influenced
by nature. Small tribes such as the Shoshone and Ute wandered the dry and
mountainous lands between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. They
gathered seeds and hunted small animals such as rabbits and snakes. In the Far
North the ancestors of today’s Inuit hunted seals, walnises, and the great
whales. They lived right on the frozen seas in shelters called igloos built of
blocks of packed snow. When summer came, they fished for salmon and hunted
the lordly caribou.
The Cheyenne, Pawnee, and Sioux tribes, known as the Plains Indians, lived on
the grasslands between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River. They
hunted bison, commonly called the buffalo. Its meat was the chief food of these
tribes, and its hide was used to make their clothing and the covering of their
tents and tipis.

Almost everyone with or without a computer is aware of the latest technological
revolution destined to change forever the way in which humans communicate,
namely, the Information Superhighway, best exemplified by the ubiquitous
Internet. Already, millions of people around the world are linked by computer
simply by having a modem and an address on the 'Net', in much the same way
that owning a telephone links us to almost anyone who pays a phone bill. In fact,
since the computer connections are made via the phone line, the Internet can be
envisaged as a network of visual telephone links. It remains to be seen in which
direction the Information Superhighway is headed, but many believe it is the
educational hope of the future.
The World Wide Web, an enormous collection of Internet addresses or sites, all
of which can be accessed for information, has been mainly responsible for the
increase in interest in the Internet in the 1990s. Before the World Wide Web, the
'Net' was comparable to an integrated collection of computerised typewriters,
but the introduction of the 'Web' in 1990 allowed not only text links to be made
but also graphs, images and even video. A Web site consists of a 'home page',
the first screen of a particular site on the computer to which you are connected,
from where access can be had to other subject related 'pages' at the site and to
thousands of other computers all over the world. This is achieved by a process
called 'hypertext'. By clicking with a mouse device on various parts of the
screen, a person connected to the 'Net' can go travelling, or 'surfing' through a
web of pages to locate whatever information is required.
Anyone can set up a site; promoting your club, your institution, your company's
products or simply yourself, is what the Web and the Internet is all about. And
what is more, information on the Internet is not owned or controlled by anyone
organisation. It is, perhaps, true to say that no-one and therefore everyone owns
the 'Net'. Because of the relative freedom of access to information, the Internet has
often been criticised by the media as a potentially hazardous tool in the hands of
young computer users. This perception has proved to be largely false
lOMoARcPSD|45315597
however, and the vast majority of users both young and old get connected
with the Internet for the dual purposes for which it was intended – discovery
and delight.

and computers are supposed to solve all their problems. When they are ill, they
rely on the surgeon’s knife. If their hearts are running down, then they must be
repaired, if they cannot be repaired, they should be replaced, just as an old car
sometimes gets a new engine. But up to now we have had a shortage of donors
to give their hearts, to keep one person alive, another donor had to die.
Nowadays there is more and more talk about using monkeys. Every monkey has
a near-human heart, and humans have always been over careful in respecting
the lives and well-being of other animals. This includes the life and well-being
of other humans. Therefore, in the early years of the 22nd century - It was told
the mass killings of monkeys may occur. We’ll need to use their hearts for human consumption.
Monkeys, on the whole, are happier creatures than their near relatives, Homo
sapiens, or man. They know fear, of course, and they face real dangers, but
they are also more intelligent than us. They create no unnecessary dangers for
themselves, they run no businesses, chase no money, are unimpressed by gold
– that utterly useless metal, and they do not care at all about hell or evil spirits.
I have a vague feeling that it is not monkeys’ hearts that we ought to implant in
ourselves, but monkeys’ brains.

One of the most renowned Spanish architects of all time was Antoni Gaudi.
Gaudi's emergence as one of 's preeminent artists at the end of the nineteenth
century marked a milestone in the art world.
Gaudi's popularity helped to bring about the acceptance and rebirth of the
Catalan language, which had been banned during the literature and art. Gaudi
shares his Catalonian background with two other famous Spanish artists, Pablo
Picasso and Miro. The diverse ethnic background of the region greatly
influenced the work of Picasso and Miro, as well as Gaudi. Thus, their works
were a combination of an old history and an active, vivid imaginary world. This
has sometimes been referred to as the “Catalan Mind.” Yet it was perhaps
Gaudi who had the greatest talent for bringing together diverse groups, ones
which others viewed as being too diametrically opposed to be capable of
coming together and co-existing amicably.
This was apparent not only in the artists and other individuals who surrounded
him, but also in the varied styles and techniques he employed in his
architecture. Much of his work can be seen in , where his structures are known
as a fine representation of modernism. He also used a great variety of color in
his buildings, and this art nouveau is often associated with his own unique style
of design. All of these factors are what helped put him at the forefront of art
movements to come: his unique ability to take on and transform traditional
Spanish elements with the emerging diverse ethnic groups, merging these with
his own fertile imagination, and consequently turning these forces into some of
the greatest architecture the world has ever seen.

An example of a bizarre occurrence regarding a species of frog dates from the
summer of 1995, when 'an explosion' of multi-coloured frogs of the species
Rana klepton esculenta occurred in the Netherlands. Normally these frogs are
brown and greenish-brown, but some unknown contributory factor is turning
these frogs yellow and/or orange. Nonetheless, so far, the unusual bi- and even
tri-coloured frogs are functioning similarly to their normal-skinned
contemporaries. It is thought that frogs with lighter coloured skins might be
more likely to survive in an increasingly warm climate due to global warming.

People appear to be born to compute. The numerical skills of children develop
so early and so inexorably that it is easy to imagine an internal clock of
mathematical maturity guiding their growth. Not long after learning to walk and
talk, they can set the table with impressive accuracy — one plate, oneknife, one
spoon, one fork, for each of the five chairs. Soon they are capable of noting that
theyhave placed five knives, spoons, and forks on the table and, a bit later, that
this amounts to fifteen pieces of silverware. Having thus mastered addition, they
move on to subtraction. It seems almost reasonable to expect that if a child were
secluded on a desert island at birth and retrieved seven years later, he or she
could enter a second-grade mathematics class without any serious problems of intellectual adjustment.
Of course, the truth is not so simple. This century, the work of cognitive
psychologists has illuminated the subtle forms of daily learning on which
intellectual progress depends. Children were observed as they slowly grasped
— or, as the case might be, bumped into — concepts that adults take for
granted, as they refused, for instance, to concede that quantity is unchanged as
water pours from a short stout glass into a tall thin one. Psychologists have
since demonstrated that young children, asked to count the pencils in a pile,
readily report the number of blue or red pencils, but must be coaxed into finding
the total. Such studies have suggested that the rudiments of mathematics are
mastered gradually, and with effort. They have also suggested that the very
concept of abstract numbers — the idea of a oneness, a twoness, a threeness that
applies to any class of objects and is a prerequisite for doing anything more
mathematically demanding than setting a table — is itself far from innate.

When was the last time you saw a frog? Chances are, if you live in a city, you have
not seen one for some time. Even in wet areas once teeming with frogs and toads, it
is becoming less and less easy to find those slimy, hopping and sometimes
poisonous members of the animal kingdom. All over the world, even in remote
jungles on the far side of the globe, frogs are losing the ecological battle for
survival, and biologists are at a loss to explain their demise. Are amphibians simply
over-sensitive to changes in the ecosystem? Could their rapid decline in numbers
be signalling some coming environmental disaster for us all?

This frightening scenario is in part the consequence of a dramatic increase over
the last quarter century in the development of once natural areas of wet
marshland; home not only to frogs but to all manner of wildlife. Yet, there are
no obvious reasons why certain frog species are disappearing from rainforests in
the Southern Hemisphere which are barely touched by human hand. The
mystery is unsett1ing to say the least, for it is known that amphibian species are
extremely sensitive to environmental variations in temperature and moisture
levels. The danger is that planet Earth might not only lose a vital link in the
ecological food chain (frogs keep populations of otherwise pestilent insects at
manageable levels), but we might be increasing our output of air pollutants to
levels that may have already become irreversible. Frogs could be inadvertently warning us of a catastrophe. lOMoARcPSD|45315597

Two years ago, our 14-year-old son, Ben, asked us for a set of drums for his
birthday. At first, we were very much against the idea because of the noise. ‘It’s
better than watching television or playing computer games in my free time,’
Ben argued, ‘and it’ll keep me out of trouble.’
In the end we gave in. ‘All right,’ we said, ‘but you must consider the rest of
the family and the neighbours when you play.’
That was just the beginning. Because drums are not the easiest instruments to
transport, the other members of Ben’s band started appearing at our home with
their guitars and other electrical equipment. And so, for several hours a week, the
house shakes to the noise of their instruments and their teenage singing.
At least Ben’s hobby has been good for our health: whenever the band start
practising, my husband and I go out for a long walk. And I must admit that,
although their music may sound a little strange, they are a friendly and polite
group of young men. I cannot judge their musical skill - after all I didn’t expect
my parents’ generation to like the same music as I did when I was a teenager -
but they do play regularly in local clubs for young people.
Our main worry is that they won’t spend enough time on their school work
because of their musical activities, though this hasn’t happened yet. I am always lOMoARcPSD|45315597

The painter Craigie Aitchison was born in Scotland. He came to London
intending to study law, but went to art school instead. There he found
the traditional drawing classes difficult, but still kept on painting.
In his late twenties he was given money by the Italian government to study art,
and became interested in early Italian artists, which shows in some of his work.
He loved the greens and browns of the Italian fields and the clear light there, and
wanted to put this light into his paintings.
This led him to paint colours thinly one on top of another from light to dark, but
he insists he's never sure what the results will be. He says, 'It's a secret - because
I don't know myself. I don't start by painting yellow, knowing I'm going to put
anything on top.' Like most talented people, Aitchison makes it sound easy.
'Anyone can do the colours - you can buy them. I simply notice what you put the colours next to.'
Unlike some artists, he never does drawings before he starts a painting, as he
feels that if he did, he might get bored and not do the painting afterwards.
Instead, Aitchison changes his paintings many times before they are finished. lOMoARcPSD|45315597
This explains why his favourite models are people who don't ask to see their
pictures while he's painting them. 'If I feel they're worried and want to look at the painting, I can't do it.'
Since moving to London years ago, he has not felt part of the Scottish painting
scene. He says he is not interested in following any tradition, but just paints the
way he can. However, his work still influences young British painters.

a. He did some paintings for the Italian government.
b. He works in a different way from other artists. Câu trả lời đúng

As many as one thousand years ago in the Southwest, the Hopi and Zuni Indians
of North America were building with adobe — sun-baked brick plastered with
mud. Their homes looked remarkably like modem apartment houses. Some were
four stories high and contained quarters for perhaps a thousand people, along
with storerooms for grain and other goods. These buildings were usually put up
against cliffs, both to make construction easier and for defense against enemies.
They were really villages in themselves, as later Spanish explorers must have
realized since they called them “pueblos,” which is Spanish for towns.
The people of the pueblos raised what are called “the three sisters” — corns,
beans, and squash. They made excellent pottery and wove marvelous baskets,
some so fine that they could hold water. The Southwest has always been a dry
country, where water is scarce. The Hopi and Zuni brought water from streams
to their fields and gardens through irrigation ditches. Water was so important
that it played a major role in their religion. They developed elaborate
ceremonies and religious rituals to bring rain.
The way of life of less-settled groups was simpler and more strongly influenced
by nature. Small tribes such as the Shoshone and Ute wandered the dry and
mountainous lands between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. They
gathered seeds and hunted small animals such as rabbits and snakes. In the Far
North the ancestors of today’s Inuit hunted seals, walnises, and the great
whales. They lived right on the frozen seas in shelters called igloos built of
blocks of packed snow. When summer came, they fished for salmon and hunted the lordly caribou.
The Cheyenne, Pawnee, and Sioux tribes, known as the Plains Indians, lived on
the grasslands between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River. They
hunted bison, commonly called the buffalo. Its meat was the chief food of these
tribes, and its hide was used to make their clothing and the covering of their tents and tipis.

Almost everyone with or without a computer is aware of the latest technological
revolution destined to change forever the way in which humans communicate,
namely, the Information Superhighway, best exemplified by the ubiquitous
Internet. Already, millions of people around the world are linked by computer
simply by having a modem and an address on the 'Net', in much the same way
that owning a telephone links us to almost anyone who pays a phone bill. In fact,
since the computer connections are made via the phone line, the Internet can be
envisaged as a network of visual telephone links. It remains to be seen in which
direction the Information Superhighway is headed, but many believe it is the
educational hope of the future.
The World Wide Web, an enormous collection of Internet addresses or sites, all
of which can be accessed for information, has been mainly responsible for the
increase in interest in the Internet in the 1990s. Before the World Wide Web, the
'Net' was comparable to an integrated collection of computerised typewriters,
but the introduction of the 'Web' in 1990 allowed not only text links to be made
but also graphs, images and even video. A Web site consists of a 'home page',
the first screen of a particular site on the computer to which you are connected,
from where access can be had to other subject related 'pages' at the site and to
thousands of other computers all over the world. This is achieved by a process
called 'hypertext'. By clicking with a mouse device on various parts of the
screen, a person connected to the 'Net' can go travelling, or 'surfing' through a
web of pages to locate whatever information is required.
Anyone can set up a site; promoting your club, your institution, your company's
products or simply yourself, is what the Web and the Internet is all about. And
what is more, information on the Internet is not owned or controlled by anyone
organisation. It is, perhaps, true to say that no-one and therefore everyone owns
the 'Net'. Because of the relative freedom of access to information, the Internet has
often been criticised by the media as a potentially hazardous tool in the hands of
young computer users. This perception has proved to be largely false lOMoARcPSD|45315597
however, and the vast majority of users both young and old get connected
with the Internet for the dual purposes for which it was intended – discovery and delight.
