Read an article about the effects of digital media on peoples minds and choose the best answer to the
following questions.
IS THE INTERNET MAKING US STUPID?
In an article in Science, Patricia Greenfield, a developmental psychologist who runs UCLAs Childrens
Digital Media Center, reviewed dozens of studies on how different media technologies influence our cognitive
abilities. Some of the studies indicated that certain computer tasks, like playing video games, increase the speed
at which people can shift their focus among icons and other images on screens. Other studies, however, found
that such rapid shifts in focus, even if performed adeptly, result in less rigorous and more automatic thinking.
In one experiment at an American university, half a class of students was allowed to use internet-connected
laptops during a lecture, while other half had to keep their computers shut. Those who browsed the web
performed much worse on a subsequent test of how well they retained the lectures content. Earlier experiments
revealed that as the number of links in an online document goes up, reading comprehension falls, and as more
types of information are placed on a screen, we remember less of what we see.
Greenfield concluded that every medium develops some cognitive skills at the expense of others. Our
growing use of screen-based media, she said, has strengthened visual-spatial intelligence, which can strengthen
the ability to do jobs that involve keeping track of lots of rapidly changing signals, like piloting a plane or
monitoring a patient during surgery. However, that has been accompanied by new weakness in higher-order
cognitive processes, including abstract vocabulary, mindfulness, reflection, inductive problem-solving,
critical thinking and imagination. Were becoming, in a word, shallower.
Studies of our behaviour online support this conclusion. German researchers found that web browsers
usually spend less than ten seconds looking at a page. Even people doing academic research online tend to
bounce rapidly between documents, rarely reading more than a page or two, according to University College
London study. Such mental juggling takes a big toll. In a recent experiment at Stanford University, researchers
gave various cognitive tests to 49 people who do a lot of media multitasking and 52 people who multitask much
less frequently. The heavy multitaskers performed poorly on all the tests. They were more easily distracted, had
less control over their attention, and were much less able to distinguish important information from trivia. The
researchers were surprised by the results. They expected the intensive multitaskers to have gained some mental
advantages. That wasnt the case, though. In fact, the multitaskers weren’t even good at multitasking.
Everything distracts them, said Clifford Nass, one of the researchers.
It would be one thing if the ill effects went away as soon as we turned off our computers and mobiles, but
they don’t. The cellular structure of the human brain, scientists have discovered, adapts readily to the tools we
use to find, store and share information. By changing our habits of mind, each new technology strengthens
certain neural pathways and weakens others. The alterations shape the way we think even when were not using
the technology. The pioneering neuroscientist Michael Merzenich believes our
brains are being massively remodelled by our ever-intensifying use of the web and related media. In 2009,
he said that he was profoundly worried about the cognitive consequences of the constant distractions and
interruptions the internet bombards us with. The long-term effect on the quality of our intellectual lives, he said
could be deadly.
Not all distractions are bad. As most of us know, if we concentrate too intensively on a tough problem, we
can get stuck in a mental rut. However, if we let the problem sit unattended for a time, we often return to it with
a fresh perspective and a burst of creativity. Research by Dutch psychologist Ap Dijksterhuis indicates that such
Tiếng Anh Thu Oanh_Luyn thi vào 10, THPTQG và chuyên Anh
breaks in our attention give our unconscious mind time to grapple with a problem, bringing to bear information
and cognitive processes unavailable to conscious deliberation. We usually make better decisions, his
experiments reveal, if we shift our attention away from a mental challenge for a time.
But Dijksterhuiss work also shows that our unconscious thought processes don’t engage with a problem
until weve clearly and consciously defined what the problem is. If we don’t have a particular goal in mind, he
writes, unconscious thought does not occur. The constant distractedness that the Net encourages is very
different from the kind of temporary, purposeful diversion of our mind that refreshes our thinking. What we
seem to be sacrificing in our surfing and searching is our capacity to engage in the quieter, attentive modes of
thought that underpin contemplation, reflection and introspection.

Read the article about teenagers. Five paragraphs have been removed. Choose from the paragraphs(A-F) the
ones which best fit each gaps of the following questions. There is one extra paragraph which you do not
need to use.
REBELS WITH A CAUSE
Heres to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently. Theyre not fond of rules. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify
of vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is to ignore them. And while some may see them as crazy
Tiếng Anh Thu Oanh_Luyn thi vào 10, THPTQG và chuyên Anh
ones, we see genius. Because the people, who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones
who do.”
41. ……………
Typically, there is not a lot of praise to be heard for teenagers. But teenage rebellion and risk-taking is a
natural result of the development of the brain, and a necessary step to reach adulthood. Our teenage years are
like no other period in our lives, and we should view this stage as a unique opportunity rather than only a time
of drama and danger.
42. ……………
For example, one of the best things about being a teen is having an amazing ability to learn, and this is a
positive side effect of being willing to take risks. Teens are less afraid of failure, and one of the biggest
limitations people face in life is the tendency not to try something new because they might fail. Teens, however,
are wide open to trying new things.
43. ……………
This sensitivity can make teens highly motivated at tasks that interest them. And while the task that interests
them might be playing video games, it could also be playing the guitar, writing poetry, or even learning about
physics. It is the age when obsessive practice is the easiest it will ever be, and that practice is one aspect of
genius.
44. ……………
Adults might view this as naivety, after all, making changes happen in society is extremely difficult, could
be a waste of time, and would probably upset people. However, we can be sure that if no one bothers to try,
change is impossible. And while change might be scary, and risky, it is not always bad. In fact, sometimes it is
essential.
45. ……………
So perhaps it is time to start celebrating teenage rebellion rather than dreading it. Of course, parents and
teachers need to set safe limits, but they should also feel proud of teens newfound opinions, positive risk-taking
and creativity. After all, they will need those skills in the future in order to build a better world.
A.
In addition, teens brains are very sensitive to reward, and this also helps them learn. Succeeding at a
task gives teens a powerful incentive for repeating, and remembering, rewarding behaviours.
B.
Essentially, what we can learn from this isnt that teens necessarily have better memories than adults,
but rather the way in which they remember is different. They are able to connect different things and
build a richer understanding of the world.
C.
And, although not essential, even teenage rebellion against family authority has a good side. Researchers
have found that teens who argued with their parents were more likely to resist peer pressure to drink. It
turns out that the family home is a safe place for teens to practise standing up for what they believe in.
D.
This quote could easily be used to describe teens that rebel against authority, are emotional and make
impulsive decisions. But, like the crazy ones, they are also creative, committed to doing things their own
way, and are often agents of social change.
E.
Its true that its a dangerous age. For example, teen drivers are three times more likely than adults to be
involved in a fatal accident. And while this issue is real, lets not overlook the fact that not all risk-taking
is negative.
F.
Another positive aspect of teenage risk-taking is their belief that they can change society. They are more
likely than adults to speak out for what they think is right or find innovative solutions to problems.

Read the following passage and answer the following questions.
YOUTH WORKS
As the pace of todays working life blurs the line between personal time and work time, so it increasingly
mixes personal lifestyle and work style. And as companies concentrate on attracting and keeping a younger
workforce for its technical skills and enthusiasm for change, office culture is becoming an extension of youth
culture. This may be no bad thing. Along with the company games room come things that matter deeply to
young people: opportunity, responsibility, respect. For most of human history the middle-aged have ruled. With
years came wisdom, experience, connections and influence. Rarely did they change jobs, years of loyal service
counted most. However, in the future, older workers will not disappear, or even reduce in numbers, but they
will have to share power with fresh-faced youths.
There have been a number of reasons for this change; the most dramatic of these is technology. Children
have always been more expert than their parents at something, but usually a game or a fashion, not the centurys
most important business tool. The Internet has triggered the first industrial revolution in history to be led by the
young. This is the age group that created Netscape, the first commercial web browser; Napster, the music-
sharing technology that shocked the music industry; Yahoo! and many of the other web giants. Though there
have been youth revolutions before, none of them made the leap from teen bedroom to boardroom the way the
Internet has. Throughout the twentieth century, had a young person wanted to enter corporate America they
needed to leave their youth behind. They got a haircut, and probably a suit or at least a tie. Now the same hair,
same clothes, even nearly the same hours apply to office and home.
Had it not been for the Internet, this change could not have happened. However, it did not happen because
of the Internet only, the corporate restructuring of the 1980s and 90s broke down traditional hierarchies. In
many companies, rigid seniority-based hierarchies have given way to hierarchies based on merit. No longer are
the abilities to navigate internal bureaucracies and please your superiors the most valued skills. Todays
employees are free agents who stay with companies only as long as they feel challenged and rewarded; moving
from job to job is now a sign of ambition and initiative. Todays young people are valued as workers for different
reasons than their predecessors: they welcome change; they think differently; they are independent; they are
entrepreneurial; they want opportunity more than money and security and finally, they demand respect.
This revolution is not just about the young. Youth itself is being redefined. Increasingly, 35-ycar-olds listen
to the same music as 20-year-olds, dress like them and even look almost like them. Never before has there been
a time when there was so little difference between age groups. Imagine a society converging on an age
somewhere between 20 and 30, and you have a fair picture of New York or San Francisco now, with other
American cities not far behind.
The rise of the young is a good thing, not least because it gives people at their most creative stage in life
more opportunity to put their ideas and energy into practice. But will there be a takeover by the young? A good
place to look for an answer is Microsoft. Microsofts most important employees are not its managers, but
individual programmers. They have great independence in choosing how to do their job. By and large, the
managers task is not to tell the programmers what to do, but to clear obstacles from the path they choose.
Microsoft workers are valued most for their ability to think for themselves, they are trusted to find their own
solutions to business problems. Managers hold back, knowing that the more specific their order, the more it is
likely to undermine their employees ability to find creative solutions. So they concentrate on the diplomatic
tasks that most of the independent young programmers are not much good at: co-ordinating with other teams,
resolving conflicts, motivating people and ensuring that everybody is happy. Microsoft starts to look like a
model for the workplace of the future: programmers tend to be in their twenties and early thirties, whereas the
managers are about a decade older. Many of the managers are former programmers who reached a point where
they no longer wanted to sleep under their desk. The effect of all this is that youth and youth qualities apparently
dominate, but the experience and maturity of older employees is put to good use too.

From earliest childhood he seemed determined to become an artist. Before graduating from Ohio State
University, and in the face of stiff parental (67. OPPOSE)......................................................... he moved to New

the reasons the Academy honoured Bellows, while (73. HOLD).......................................................... approval
from many of the other members of The Eight, was the fact that there were unmistakable references to the
old masters in Bellows work. He was one of the few artists who (74. INSTINCT) ………………………………

tradition, and his almost universal appeal was therefore not surprising.

Read an article about the effects of digital media on people’s minds and choose the best answer to the
following questions.
IS THE INTERNET MAKING US STUPID?
In an article in Science, Patricia Greenfield, a developmental psychologist who runs UCLA’s Children’s
Digital Media Center, reviewed dozens of studies on how different media technologies influence our cognitive
abilities. Some of the studies indicated that certain computer tasks, like playing video games, increase the speed
at which people can shift their focus among icons and other images on screens. Other studies, however, found
that such rapid shifts in focus, even if performed adeptly, result in less rigorous and more ‘automatic’ thinking.
In one experiment at an American university, half a class of students was allowed to use internet-connected
laptops during a lecture, while other half had to keep their computers shut. Those who browsed the web
performed much worse on a subsequent test of how well they retained the lecture’s content. Earlier experiments
revealed that as the number of links in an online document goes up, reading comprehension falls, and as more
types of information are placed on a screen, we remember less of what we see.
Greenfield concluded that ‘every medium develops some cognitive skills at the expense of others’. Our
growing use of screen-based media, she said, has strengthened visual-spatial intelligence, which can strengthen
the ability to do jobs that involve keeping track of lots of rapidly changing signals, like piloting a plane or
monitoring a patient during surgery. However, that has been accompanied by ‘new weakness in higher-order
cognitive processes’, including ‘abstract vocabulary, mindfulness, reflection, inductive problem-solving,
critical thinking and imagination’. We’re becoming, in a word, shallower.
Studies of our behaviour online support this conclusion. German researchers found that web browsers
usually spend less than ten seconds looking at a page. Even people doing academic research online tend to
‘bounce’ rapidly between documents, rarely reading more than a page or two, according to University College
London study. Such mental juggling takes a big toll. In a recent experiment at Stanford University, researchers
gave various cognitive tests to 49 people who do a lot of media multitasking and 52 people who multitask much
less frequently. The heavy multitaskers performed poorly on all the tests. They were more easily distracted, had
less control over their attention, and were much less able to distinguish important information from trivia. The
researchers were surprised by the results. They expected the intensive multitaskers to have gained some mental
advantages. That wasn’t the case, though. In fact, the multitaskers weren’t even good at multitasking.
‘Everything distracts them, said Clifford Nass, one of the researchers.
It would be one thing if the ill effects went away as soon as we turned off our computers and mobiles, but
they don’t. The cellular structure of the human brain, scientists have discovered, adapts readily to the tools we
use to find, store and share information. By changing our habits of mind, each new technology strengthens
certain neural pathways and weakens others. The alterations shape the way we think even when we’re not using
the technology. The pioneering neuroscientist Michael Merzenich believes our
brains are being ‘massively remodelled’ by our ever-intensifying use of the web and related media. In 2009,
he said that he was profoundly worried about the cognitive consequences of the constant distractions and
interruptions the internet bombards us with. The long-term effect on the quality of our intellectual lives, he said could be ‘deadly’.
Not all distractions are bad. As most of us know, if we concentrate too intensively on a tough problem, we
can get stuck in a mental rut. However, if we let the problem sit unattended for a time, we often return to it with
a fresh perspective and a burst of creativity. Research by Dutch psychologist Ap Dijksterhuis indicates that such
Tiếng Anh Thu Oanh_Luyện thi vào 10, THPTQG và chuyên Anh
breaks in our attention give our unconscious mind time to grapple with a problem, bringing to bear information
and cognitive processes unavailable to conscious deliberation. We usually make better decisions, his
experiments reveal, if we shift our attention away from a mental challenge for a time.
But Dijksterhuis’s work also shows that our unconscious thought processes don’t engage with a problem
until we’ve clearly and consciously defined what the problem is. If we don’t have a particular goal in mind, he
writes, ‘unconscious thought does not occur’. The constant distractedness that the Net encourages is very
different from the kind of temporary, purposeful diversion of our mind that refreshes our thinking. What we
seem to be sacrificing in our surfing and searching is our capacity to engage in the quieter, attentive modes of
thought that underpin contemplation, reflection and introspection.

Read the article about teenagers. Five paragraphs have been removed. Choose from the paragraphs(A-F) the
ones which best fit each gaps of the following questions. There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use. REBELS WITH A CAUSE
‘Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify
of vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is to ignore them. And while some may see them as crazy
Tiếng Anh Thu Oanh_Luyện thi vào 10, THPTQG và chuyên Anh
ones, we see genius. Because the people, who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” 41. ……………
Typically, there is not a lot of praise to be heard for teenagers. But teenage rebellion and risk-taking is a
natural result of the development of the brain, and a necessary step to reach adulthood. Our teenage years are
like no other period in our lives, and we should view this stage as a unique opportunity rather than only a time of drama and danger. 42. ……………
For example, one of the best things about being a teen is having an amazing ability to learn, and this is a
positive side effect of being willing to take risks. Teens are less afraid of failure, and one of the biggest
limitations people face in life is the tendency not to try something new because they might fail. Teens, however,
are wide open to trying new things. 43. ……………
This sensitivity can make teens highly motivated at tasks that interest them. And while the task that interests
them might be playing video games, it could also be playing the guitar, writing poetry, or even learning about
physics. It is the age when obsessive practice is the easiest it will ever be, and that practice is one aspect of genius. 44. ……………
Adults might view this as naivety, after all, making changes happen in society is extremely difficult, could
be a waste of time, and would probably upset people. However, we can be sure that if no one bothers to try,
change is impossible. And while change might be scary, and risky, it is not always bad. In fact, sometimes it is essential. 45. ……………
So perhaps it is time to start celebrating teenage rebellion rather than dreading it. Of course, parents and
teachers need to set safe limits, but they should also feel proud of teens’ newfound opinions, positive risk-taking
and creativity. After all, they will need those skills in the future in order to build a better world.
A. In addition, teens’ brains are very sensitive to reward, and this also helps them learn. Succeeding at a
task gives teens a powerful incentive for repeating, and remembering, rewarding behaviours.
B. Essentially, what we can learn from this isn’t that teens necessarily have better memories than adults,
but rather the way in which they remember is different. They are able to connect different things and
build a richer understanding of the world.
C. And, although not essential, even teenage rebellion against family authority has a good side. Researchers
have found that teens who argued with their parents were more likely to resist peer pressure to drink. It
turns out that the family home is a safe place for teens to practise standing up for what they believe in.
D. This quote could easily be used to describe teens that rebel against authority, are emotional and make
impulsive decisions. But, like the crazy ones, they are also creative, committed to doing things their own
way, and are often agents of social change.
E. It’s true that it’s a dangerous age. For example, teen drivers are three times more likely than adults to be
involved in a fatal accident. And while this issue is real, let’s not overlook the fact that not all risk-taking is negative.
F. Another positive aspect of teenage risk-taking is their belief that they can change society. They are more
likely than adults to speak out for what they think is right or find innovative solutions to problems.

Read the following passage and answer the following questions. YOUTH WORKS
As the pace of today’s working life blurs the line between personal time and work time, so it increasingly
mixes personal lifestyle and work style. And as companies concentrate on attracting and keeping a younger
workforce for its technical skills and enthusiasm for change, office culture is becoming an extension of youth
culture. This may be no bad thing. Along with the company games room come things that matter deeply to
young people: opportunity, responsibility, respect. For most of human history the middle-aged have ruled. With
years came wisdom, experience, connections and influence. Rarely did they change jobs, years of loyal service
counted most. However, in the future, older workers will not disappear, or even reduce in numbers, but they
will have to share power with fresh-faced youths.
There have been a number of reasons for this change; the most dramatic of these is technology. Children
have always been more expert than their parents at something, but usually a game or a fashion, not the century’s
most important business tool. The Internet has triggered the first industrial revolution in history to be led by the
young. This is the age group that created Netscape, the first commercial web browser; Napster, the music-
sharing technology that shocked the music industry; Yahoo! and many of the other web giants. Though there
have been youth revolutions before, none of them made the leap from teen bedroom to boardroom the way the
Internet has. Throughout the twentieth century, had a young person wanted to enter corporate America they
needed to leave their youth behind. They got a haircut, and probably a suit or at least a tie. Now the same hair,
same clothes, even nearly the same hours apply to office and home.
Had it not been for the Internet, this change could not have happened. However, it did not happen because
of the Internet only, the corporate restructuring of the 1980s and 90s broke down traditional hierarchies. In
many companies, rigid seniority-based hierarchies have given way to hierarchies based on merit. No longer are
the abilities to navigate internal bureaucracies and please your superiors the most valued skills. Today’s
employees are free agents who stay with companies only as long as they feel challenged and rewarded; moving
from job to job is now a sign of ambition and initiative. Today’s young people are valued as workers for different
reasons than their predecessors: they welcome change; they think differently; they are independent; they are
entrepreneurial; they want opportunity more than money and security and finally, they demand respect.
This revolution is not just about the young. Youth itself is being redefined. Increasingly, 35-ycar-olds listen
to the same music as 20-year-olds, dress like them and even look almost like them. Never before has there been
a time when there was so little difference between age groups. Imagine a society converging on an age
somewhere between 20 and 30, and you have a fair picture of New York or San Francisco now, with other
American cities not far behind.
The rise of the young is a good thing, not least because it gives people at their most creative stage in life
more opportunity to put their ideas and energy into practice. But will there be a takeover by the young? A good
place to look for an answer is Microsoft. Microsoft’s most important employees are not its managers, but
individual programmers. They have great independence in choosing how to do their job. By and large, the
managers’ task is not to tell the programmers what to do, but to clear obstacles from the path they choose.
Microsoft workers are valued most for their ability to think for themselves, they are trusted to find their own
solutions to business problems. Managers hold back, knowing that the more specific their order, the more it is
likely to undermine their employees’ ability to find creative solutions. So they concentrate on the diplomatic
tasks that most of the independent young programmers are not much good at: co-ordinating with other teams,
resolving conflicts, motivating people and ensuring that everybody is happy. Microsoft starts to look like a
model for the workplace of the future: programmers tend to be in their twenties and early thirties, whereas the
managers are about a decade older. Many of the managers are former programmers who reached a point where
they no longer wanted to sleep under their desk. The effect of all this is that youth and youth qualities apparently
dominate, but the experience and maturity of older employees is put to good use too.
