Read the following passage about the Second Acts That Inspire and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.

Life often presents us with unexpected challenges that force us back to the drawing board. Whether due to personal setbacks, career changes, or unforeseen circumstances, the courage to begin again can lead to remarkable transformations. Many inspiring individuals have shown that it's never too late to reinvent oneself and pursue new dreams. Throughout history, countless people have overcome seemingly impossible situations through sheer determination.

[I] Take J.K. Rowling, for instance. Before becoming a literary sensation, she was a struggling single mother living on welfare. [II] Her determination eventually paid off when her books became a global phenomenon, proving that setbacks can become stepping stones to success. [III] This remarkable turnaround demonstrates how resilience and unwavering belief in oneself can overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Despite facing depression and financial hardship, she never gave up on her dreams. [IV]

Colonel Harland Sanders' story is another testament to the power of starting anew. At the age of 65, when most people contemplate retirement, he found himself struggling financially after his restaurant failed. Instead of giving up, he traveled across America, sleeping in his car while pitching his chicken recipe to restaurant owners. His recipe for success wasn't just about the perfect blend of herbs and spices; it was about persistence and determination. After facing over 1,000 rejections, he finally established Kentucky Fried Chicken, which grew into a global empire. His unwavering spirit and dedication inspired generations of entrepreneurs worldwide.

These inspiring stories remind us that failure is not final, but rather a chance to redirect our path. Every setback carries the seed of an equal or greater opportunity, and sometimes the end of one chapter is simply the beginning of a better one. The key lies in having the courage to take that first step, even when the future seems uncertain. As these remarkable individuals have shown, it's never too late to rewrite your story and create a powerful second act. Their journeys teach us that persistence and courage ultimately lead to success.

Read the passage carefully. Choose an option (A, B, C or D) that best answers each question from 23 to 30.

1. How do children learn about wildlife? And is what they learn the sort of thing they should be learning? It is my belief that children should not just be acquiring knowledge of animals but also developing attitudes and feelings towards them based on exposure to the real lives of animals in their natural habitats. But is this happening?

2. Some research in this area indicates that it is not. Learning about animals in school is often completely disconnected from the real lives of real animals, with the result that children often end up with little or no understanding or lasting knowledge of them. They learn factual information about animals, aimed at enabling them to identify them and have various abstract ideas about them, but that is the extent of their learning. Children's storybooks tend to personify animals as characters rather than teach about them.

3. For direct contact with wild and international animals, the only opportunity most children have is visiting a zoo. The educational benefit of this for children is often given as the main reason for doing it but research has shown that zoo visits seldom add to children's knowledge of animals – the animals are simply like exhibits in a museum that the children look at without engaging with them as living creatures. Children who belong to wildlife or environmental organizations or who watch wildlife TV programmes, however, show significantly higher knowledge than any other group of children studied in research. The studies show that if children learn about animals in their natural habitats, particularly through wildlife-based activities, they know more about them than they do as a result of visiting zoos or learning about them in the classroom.

4. Research has also been done into the attitudes of children towards animals. It shows that in general terms, children form strong attachments to individual animals, usually their pets, but do not have strong feelings for animals in general. This attitude is the norm regardless of the amount or kind of learning about animals they have at school. However, those children who watch television wildlife programs show an interest in and affection for wildlife in its natural environment, and their regard for animals in general is higher.

What does the word “their” in the third paragraph refer to?

Read the following passage about endangered languages and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questionsfrom 31 to 40.

[I] Social media has become a dominant force in modern communication, offering a range of benefits and challenges. [II] It has revolutionized the way people interact, share information, and even form relationships. [III] While these platforms offer opportunities for connection and expression, they also have their drawbacks. [IV] For instance, excessive use of social media has been linked to a range of negative effects, including mental health issues, social isolation, and decreased productivity. [V] However, when used responsibly, social media can also offer a variety of positive outcomes, such as the ability to stay connected with loved ones, network professionally, and access valuable information and resources.

One of the major benefits of social media is its ability to keep people connected. For example, individuals who live far apart can maintain close relationships through regular communication on these platforms. Social media also facilitates professional networking, allowing users to connect with potential employers or clients, and enabling companies to promote their products and services to a global audience. Additionally, platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram provide a space for people to share ideas, opinions, and creative work, fostering a sense of community and collaboration.

Despite these advantages, there are serious concerns about the negative impact of social media, particularly on mental health. Studies have shown that excessive social media use can contribute to feelings of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. This is often attributed to the unrealistic portrayals of life that are commonly shared on these platforms, leading to comparisons that can make individuals feel inadequate or left out. Furthermore, constant exposure to negative news or online bullying can exacerbate these feelings and contribute to long-term psychological stress.

Another issue with social media is its potential to distract people from their daily responsibilities. With notifications constantly popping up and endless streams of content to scroll through, individuals may find it difficult to focus on tasks such as work, school, or personal obligations. This can result in decreased productivity and a lack of attention to important matters.

Ultimately, the impact of social media depends on how it is used. If individuals are mindful of their usage patterns and take steps to limit their time on these platforms, they can enjoy the benefits of staying connected and informed without the negative consequences. Parents, educators, and mental health professionals can also play a role in helping young people develop healthy habits and manage their social media use effectively.

According to passage, which of the following is NOT a benefit of social media?

Nhận định nào sau đây là không đúng khi nói đến việc: trong cuộc sống hàng ngày chúng ta đã và đang bắt gặp lịch sử ở khắp mọi nơi?

"Cá Vẹt (hay còn gọi là cá Mó) thuộc họ Scaridae, là nhóm cá chuyên ăn san hô chết và rong tảo. Chúng dành tới 90% thời gian trong ngày để gặm nhấm nền đáy, tạo cơ hội cho ấu trùng san hô định cư. Nói một cách khác, đây là các "công nhân" chăm chỉ dọn vệ sinh trên rạn san hô ở vùng biển nhiệt đới".

Mối quan hệ sinh thái giữa cá Vẹt và rong tảo trong rạn san hô là:

Although noise, commonly defined as unwanted sound, is a widely recognized form of pollution, it is very difficult to measure because the discomfort experienced by different individuals is highly subjective and, therefore, variable. Exposure to lower levels of noise may be slightly irritating, whereas exposure to higher levels may actually cause hearing loss. Particularly in congested urban areas, the noise produced as a by-product of our advancing technology causes physical and psychological harm, and detracts from the quality of life for those who are exposed to it.

Unlike the eyes, which can be covered by the eyelids against strong light, the ear has no lid, and is, therefore, always open and vulnerable; noise penetrates without protection. Noise causes effects that the hearer cannot control and to which the body never becomes  accustomeLoud noises instinctively signal danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism, including human beings. In response, heartbeat and respiration accelerate, blood vessels constrict, the skin pales, and muscles tense. In fact, there is a general increase in functioning brought about by the flow of adrenaline released in response to fear, and some of these responses persist even longer than the noise, occasionally as long as thirty minutes after the sound has ceased.

Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society, we are constantly responding in the same way that we would respond to danger. Recently, researchers have concluded that noise and our response may be much more than an annoyance. It may be a serious threat to physical and psychological health and well-being, causing damage not only to the ear and brain but also to the heart and stomach. We have long known that hearing loss is America's number one nonfatal health problem, but now we are learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcers may be victims of noise as well. Fetuses exposed to noise tend to be overactive, they cry easily, and they are more sensitive to gastrointestinal problems after birth. In addition, the psychic effect of noise is very important. Nervousness, irritability, tension, and anxiety increase affecting the quality of rest during sleep, and the efficiency of activities during waking hours, as well as the way that we interact with each other.

Based on the passage, how does noise affect psychological and physical health in industrial societies?

(1) Con kinh nhỏ nằm vắt qua một cánh đồng rộng. Và khi chúng tôi quyết định dừng lại, mùa hạn hung hãn dường như cũng gom hết nắng đổ xuống nơi này. Những cây lúa chết non trên đồng, thân đã khô cong như tàn nhang chưa rụng, nắm vào bàn tay là nát vụn. Cha tôi tháo cái khung tre chắn dưới sàn ghe, bầy vịt lúc nhúc chen ra, cuống quýt, nháo nhào quẫy ngụp xuống mặt nước váng phèn. Một lớp phèn mới, vàng sẫm quánh lại trên bộ lông của những con vịt đói, nhớp nháp bám trên vai Điền khi nó trầm mình bơi đi cắm cọc, giăng lưới rào bầy vịt lại. Tôi bưng cái cà ràng lên bờ, nhóm củi. Rồi ngọn lửa hoi hót thở dưới nồi cơm đã lên tim, người đàn bà vẫn còn nằm trên ghe. [...]

(2) Họ giằng ném, họ quăng quật chị trên cái nền vương vãi trấu. Vai nữ chính, một người đàn bà xốc xếch đã lạc giọng, đôi lúc lả đi vì ghen tuông và kiệt sứNhưng đám đông rạo rực chung quanh đã vực tinh thần chị ta dậy, họ dùng chân đá với vào cái thân xác tả tơi kia bằng vẻ hằn học, hả hê, quên phứt vụ lúa thất bát cháy khô trên đồng, quên nỗi lo đói no giữa mùa giáp hạt. Cuộc vui hẳn sẽ dài, nếu như không có một ý tưởng mới nảy ra trong cơn phấn khích. Họ dùng dao phay chặt mái tóc dày kia, dục dặc, hì hục như phạt một nắm cỏ cứng và khô. Khi đuôi tóc dứt lìa, được tự do, chị vùng dậy, lao nhanh xuống ghe chúng tôi như một tiếng thét, lăn qua chân tôi, đến chỗ cha, làm đổ những bao trấu cha vừa mới xếp. Đám người ngơ ngác mấy giây để chấp nhận việc con mồi bỏ chạy. Tôi mất mấy giây để háo hức thấy mình nghĩa hiệp như Lục Vân Tiên, tôi lồm cồm xô ghe dạt khỏi bờ, sợ hãi và sung sướng, tôi cầm sào chống thục mạng ra giữa sông, mắt không rời đám người đang tràn ra mé bờ chực lao xuống, nhảy nhót điên cuồng. [...]

(3) Suốt một quãng đường, chị không hề thay đổi thế nằm, im lìm, lạnh ngắt như người chết. Trong ghe chỉ trôi mênh mang những tiếng rên khi dài, khi ngắn, khi thiu thỉu buồn xo, lúc nghe như tiếng nấc nghẹn ngào… Nhờ vậy mà chúng tôi biết chị còn sống, để đi với chúng tôi gần hết con sông Bìm Bịp, đến cánh đồng hoang vắng này. Điền hơi lo lắng khi nghe chị vẫn còn rên rỉ, nghĩ là chị đã đói, nó hối tôi nấu cơm mau. Nó thấy tiếc vì trên ghe chỉ còn mấy con khô sặt mặn chát, “tui nuốt còn không vô, nói chi…”
