 Native Americans have been living in what is now the United States of
America since long before any Europeans came. They are not just a single group of
people – there are many different tribes of Native Americans. Different Native
American groups have different languages, religious beliefs, and ways of living, or folkways.
 You can see just how different Native American groups can be by comparing
one to another. Look at the Hopi people. The Hopi are Native Americans who come 16:46, 09/01/2026
Đề ôn giữa kì - Tài liệu ôn tập Tiếng Anh 2023 - Studocu
from what is now the American Southwest. When the Spanish came to America in
the 16thcentury and found the Hopi people,theynicknamed them “pueblo people”
because Hopi people didn’t move around much – they lived together in what
amounted to towns. Pueblo is a Spanish word that means “town”. The Hopi have
always have been a very peaceful people. Their name comes from the term Hopituh
Shi-nu-mu, which means, in the Hopi language, “The peaceful People” or “Peaceful Little Ones”.
 Now compare the Hopi to Navajo. The Navajo come from the same general
area as the Hopi. But instead of being a “pueblo people”, instead of staying in one
place, they moved around. They didn’t live inpermanenttowns like the Hopi. They
were a “semi-nomadic” people. While the Hopi were historically known for farming,
the Navajo were known for hunting and gathering. After they met the Spanish, the
Navajo became known for herding sheep. The Hopi, not so much.
The Hopi and the Navajo were, and are, two very distinct groups of people, and they
come from the same part of the continent! So think about how much other tribes
from other parts of the continent might differ.
For thousands of years the Chinook have lived near the coast of the Pacific Ocean.
They were known, and are still known, for being skilled fishers. The Chinook would
make huge dug-out canoes, and the fish that they caught most often was salmon.
The salmon was a very important food source for the Chinook, and it plays a large
role in the Chinook sense of identity.
All the way across the country, over in what is now Maine, the Penobscot also derive
meaning and a sense of identity from the animals they hunt. But they are completely
different animals: beavers, otters, moose, bears, and caribou.
 Today, there may not be as many thriving Native American tribes as there
used to be but there are more than a few. The United States of America federally
recognizes more than 500 different Native American tribes. When a tribe is federally
recognized, it means that tribe may form its own government with its own laws,
taxes, rules. There are also about 400 non-federally recognized tribes. All I all, there
are about 1000 different groups of Native American people in the United States, and each group is unique. 16:46, 09/01/2026

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.
 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 16:46, 09/01/2026
Đề ôn giữa kì - Tài liệu ôn tập Tiếng Anh 2023 - Studocu
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.
Question 38.According to the passage, which of the following is learning in broad 16:46, 09/01/2026

C.It takes place more frequently in real life than in academic institutions.
D.It is more interesting and effective in school than that in life.

B.the great influence of the on-going learning process
C.the exploration of the best teaching methods
D.the need for certain experiences in various areas
Question 43.It can be inferred from the passage that social workers, employers,

A.thoroughly understand the behaviours of the objects of their interest
B.understand how a stimulus relates to the senses of the objects of their interest
C.make the objects of their interest more aware of the importance of learning
D.change the behaviours of the objects of their interest towards learning

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.
 It is difÏcult to write rules that tell exactly when we should apologize, but it is
not difÏcult to learn how. If we have done something to hurt someone’s feelings, or if
we have been impolite orrude, we should apologize. An apology indicates that we
realize we have made a mistake, and we are sorry for it. It is a way of expressing our
regret for something. When we apologize, we admit our wrongdoing, usually offer a
reason for it, and express regret.

more than this – a reason for the tardiness – is needed, but this is not the time or the
place for it because he has already caused one interruption and doesn’t need to
make it any longer or worse than it already is.
