Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the hotter young film stars around at the moment. His face has been on the covers

Sở GD&ĐT Nghệ An – Kỳ thi tuyển sinh vào THPT Chuyên Phan Bội Châu - Năm học 2017-2018 4
articles, rumours and showbiz gossip. Leonard doesn’t like reading about him because “I read things about me
that I’ve never said in my life and never did".
Leonardo DiCaprio was born in Los Angeles on 11 November, 1974. He’s a Scorpio. His full name is Leonardo
Wilhelm DiCaprio. His mother is Germany and his father Italian-American. They called him Leonardo because
when his mother was still pregnant, he started kicking while she was stood in front of a painting by Leonardo
Da Vinci. He had a scar from when he was stung by a Portuguese man-of-war. His parents separated before he
was born, so his mother moved to a poor neighbourhood of Hollywood there Leo grew up. At school he was
very good at imitating people, especially Michael Jackson. This made him very popularly. His childhood hero
was Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea. After appearance in TV commercials and episodes of Roseanne, he
played the cast of Roseanne, the TV sitcom starring Kirk Cameron. Leonard played the part of Luke, a
homeless boy. Lately, he played the part of Jim Carroll in The Basketball Diaries. But he has really become
famous since he acted in the film Titanic. YOUR ANSWERS: Mistake Line Correction Mistake Line Correction 1. 6. 2. 7. 3. 8. 4. 9. 5. 10. SECTION D: READING

PART II: Read the passage below and choose the best answer from A, B, C or D to each question.
THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE ON THE NET
Far from encouraging mass deceit, the web promotes honesty because we fear getting caught, writes Clive Thompson.
Everyone tells a little white lie now and then, but Cornell University professor, Jeffrey Hancock, recently
claimed to have established the truth of a curious proposition: We deceive less frequently when we’re online
than when talking in person. He asked thirty undergraduates to record all their communications, and all their
lies for a week. Tallying the results, he found the students had mishandled the truth in about one-quarter of all
face-to-face conversations, and in 37 percent of phone calls. But once in cyberspace, only 1 in 5 instant-
messaging chats contained a lie, and barely 14 percent of email messages were dishonest. While you can’t make
generalizations about society solely on the basis of college students’ behaviour, and recognizing there is
also something odd about asking people to be honest about how often they lie, Professor Hancock’s results
were intriguing, not least because they up-end some of our primary expectations about life on the net.
Wasn’t cyberspace supposed to be the scary zone where you couldn’t trust anyone? Back when the Internet
first went mainstream, those pundits in the government, media and academia worried that the digital age would
open the floodgates of deception. Since anyone could hide behind an anonymous hotmail address or chat-room
nickname, net users, we were warned, would be free to lie with impunity. Parents panicked and frantically
supervised their children’s use of cyberspace, under the assumption that anyone lurking out there in the
unknown was a threat until proved otherwise. And to a certain extent, you can see their reasoning: if we go
along with the basic introduction to any psychology course, we’re more likely to lie to people when there’s
distance between us. Eventually, though, many suspicions turned out to be unfounded.
What is it, then, about online life that makes us more truthful? It’s simple: We’re worried about being
exposed. In ‘real’ life, after all, it’s pretty easy to get away with deception. If you lie to someone at a party, you
can always claim you said no such thing. On the Internet, your words often come back to haunt you. The
digital age is tough on liars, as an endless parade of executives are finding out. This isn’t a problem for only
corporate barons. We read the headlines; we know in cyberspace our words never die, because machines don’t
forget. ‘It’s a cut-and-paste culture’, as Professor Hancock put it, though he said that on the phone, so who
knows if he really meant it? And consider that many email programmes automatically ‘quote’ your words when
Sở GD&ĐT Nghệ An – Kỳ thi tuyển sinh vào THPT Chuyên Phan Bội Châu - Năm học 2017-2018 6
someone replies to your message. Every time I finish an email message, I pause for a few seconds to reread it
just to ensure I haven’t said something I’ll later regret.
Maybe this helps explain why television programmes like CSI: Crime Scene Investigation have become
so popular. They’re all about revealing the sneaking things people do. We watch with fascination and unease as
scientists inspect the tiniest of clues – a stray hair on a car seat, a latent fingerprint. After you’ve seen high-tech
cops rake over evidence from a crime scene with ultraviolet light and genetic sequencers enough times, you get
the message: Watch out – we’ve got files on you. Forensic science has become the central drama of pop culture,
and our fascination with it may well add to our anxieties about technology. So no wonder we’re so careful to
restrict our lying to low technology environments. We have begun to be keenly suspicious of places that might
be bugged, conducting all of our subterfuge in loud restaurants and lonely parks.
Still, it’s not only the fear of electronic exposure that drives us to tell the truth. There’s something about the
Internet that encourages us to ‘tell all’, often in rather outrageous ways. Psychologists have noticed for years
that going online seems to have a catalytic effect on people’s personalities. The most quiet and reserved people
may become deranged loudmouths when they sit behind the keyboard. Others stay up until dawn and conduct
angry debates on discussion boards with total strangers. You can usually spot the newcomers in any discussion
group because they’re the ones WRITING IN CAPITALS – they’re overwhelmed by the Internet’s heavy
combination of geographic distance and pseudo-invisibility.
Our impulse to confess via cyberspace inverts much of what we think about honesty. It used to be if you
wanted to really trust someone, you arranged a face-to-face meeting. Our culture still obsesses over physical
contact, the shaking of hands, that lubricating chitchat. Executives and politicians spend hours flying across the
country merely for a five-minute meeting, on the assumption that even a few seconds of face time can cut
through the prevarications of letters and legal contracts. But perhaps this dependence on online communication
is gratifying news. We could find ourselves living in an increasingly honest world. It will at least, inevitably, be
one in which there are increasingly severe penalties for deception. With its unforgiving machine memory, the
Internet might turn out to be the unlikely conscience of the world.

Sở GD&ĐT Nghệ An – Kỳ thi tuyển sinh vào THPT Chuyên Phan Bội Châu - Năm học 2017-2018 8 TEA TIMES 1
The chances are that you have already drunk a cup or glass of tea today. Perhaps, you are sipping one as you
read this. Tea, now an everyday beverage in many parts of the world, has over the centuries been an important
part of rituals of hospitality both in the home and in wider society. 2
Tea originated in China, and in Eastern Asia tea making and drinking ceremonies have been popular for
centuries. Tea was first shipped to North Western Europe by English and Dutch maritime traders in the 16th
century. At about the same time, a land route from the Far East, via Moscow, to Europe was opened up. Tea
also figured in America’s bid for independence from British rule – the Boston Tea Party. 3
As, over the last four hundred years, tea-leavers became available throughout much of Asia and Europe, the
ways in which tea was drunk changed. The Chinese considered the quality of the leaves and the ways in which
they were cured all important. People in other cultures added new ingredients besides tea-leaves and hot water.
They drank tea with milk, sugar, spices like cinnamon and cardamom, and herbs such as mint or sage. The
variations are endless. For example, in Western Sudan on the edge of the Sahara Desert, sesame oil is added to
milky tea on cold mornings. In England tea, unlike coffee, acquired a reputation as a therapeutic drink that
promoted health. Indeed, in European and Arab countries as well as in Persia and Russia, tea was praised for its
restorative and health giving properties. One Dutch physician, Cornelius Blankaart, advised that to maintain
health a minimum of eight to ten cups a day should be drunk, and that up to 50 to 100 daily cups could be consumed with safety. 4
While European coffee houses were frequently by men discussing politics and closing business deals,
respectable middle-class women stayed at home and held tea parties. When the price of tea fell in the nineteenth
century, poor people took up the drink with enthusiasm. Different grades and blends of tea were sold to suit every pocket. 5
Throughout the world today, few religious groups object to tea drinking. In Islamic cultures, where drinking of
alcohol is forbidden, tea and coffee consumption is an important part of social life. However, Seventh-Day
Adventists, recognizing the beverage as a drug containing the stimulant caffeine, frown upon the drinking of tea. 6
In Britain, coffee drinking, particularly in the informal atmosphere of coffee shops, is currently in vogue. Yet,
the convention of afternoon tea lingers. At conferences, it remains common practice to serve coffee in the
morning and tea in the afternoon. Contemporary China, too, remains true to its long tradition. Delegates at
conferences and seminars are served tea in cups with lids to keep the infusion hot. The cups are topped up
throughout the proceedings. There are as yet not signs of coffee at such occasions. YOUR ANSWERS: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
