UNIT 1: HOME LIFE ( Review)

Read the passage carefully and then choose the item A, B, C or D that best answers the
question about the passage:
The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father and their children, may be more an
American ideal than an American reality. Of course, the so-called traditional American
family was always more varied than we has been led to believe, reflecting the very different
racial, ethnic, class and religious customs among different American groups.
The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current
American
Families fit the traditional mold and another third consists of married couples who either have
no children or have none still living at home. Of the final one third, about 20 percent of the
total number of American households are single people, usually women over sixty – five
years of age. A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total, consist of unmarried people
who choose to live together; and the rest, about 7 percent are single, usually divorced parents,
with at least one child. Today, these varied family types are typical, and therefore, normal.
Apparently, many Americans are achieving supportive relationship in family forms other than
the traditional one.

A. The traditional American family B. The nuclear family

UNIT 3: WAYS OF SOCIALISING (review)

I. Read the following passage and choose A, B , C or D to indicate the correct answer for
each of the questions
Communication in general is process of sending and receiving messages that enables
humans to share knowledge, attitudes, and skills. Although we usually identify
communication with speech, communication is composed of two dimensions - verbal and
nonverbal.
Nonverbal communication has been defined as communication without words. It
includes apparent behaviors such as facial expressions, eyes, touching, tone of voice, as well
as less obvious messages such as dress, posture and spatial distance between two or more
people.
Activity or inactivity, words or silence all have message value: they influence others and
these others, in turn, respond to these communications and thus they are communicating.
Commonly, nonverbal communication is learned shortly after birth and practiced and
refined throughout a person's lifetime. Children first learn nonverbal expressions by watching
and imitating, much as they learn verbal skills.
Young children know far more than they can verbalize and are generally more adept at
reading nonverbal cues than adults are because of their limited verbal skills and their recent
reliance on the nonverbal to communicate. As children develop verbal skills, nonverbal
channels of communication do' not cease to exist although become entwined in the total
communication process.

A. Nonverbal language is only used by the deaf and the mute.

Who talk more – men or women? Most people believe that women talk more. However,
linguist Deborah Tannen, who has studied the communication style of men and women, says
that this is a stereotype. According to Tannen, women are more verbal – talk more – in
private situations, where they use consersation as the “glue” to hold relationships together.
But, she says, men talk more in public situations, where they use conversation to exchange
information and gain status. Tannen points out that we can see these differences even in
children. Little girls often play with one “best friend”, their play includes a lot of
conversation. Little boys often play games in groups; their play usually involves more doing
than talking. In school, girls are often better at verbal skills; boys are often better at
mathematics.
A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roofs of this differences.
Researchers studied conversation between children age 3-6 and their parents. They found
evidence that parents talk very differently to their sons than they do to their daughters.
Specifically, when parents talk with their daughters, they use more descriptive language and
more details. There is also far more talk about emotions, especially sadness, with daughters
than with sons.

Communication in general is process of sending and receiving messages that enables
humans to share knowledge, attitudes, and skills. Although we usually identify
communication with speech, communication is composed of two dimensions - verbal and
nonverbal.
Nonverbal communication has been defined as communication without words. It includes
apparent behaviors such as facial expressions, eyes, touching, tone of voice, as well as less
obvious messages such as dress, posture and spatial distance between two or more people.
Activity or inactivity, words or silence all have message value: they influence others and
these others, in turn, respond to these communications and thus they are communicating.
Commonly, nonverbal communication is learned shortly after birth and practiced and
refined throughout a person's lifetime. Children first learn nonverbal expressions by watching
and imitating, much as they learn verbal skills.
Young children know far more than they can verbalize and are generally more adept at
reading nonverbal cues than adults are because of their limited verbal skills and their recent
reliance on the nonverbal to communicate. As children develop verbal skills, nonverbal
channels of communication do' not cease to exist although become entwined in the total
communication process.
Câu 24: According to the writer, ________.

A. One cannot communicate in both verbal and .nonverbal language.

VI. Read the passage and then answer the following questions.
Who talk more – men or women? Most people believe that women talk more. However, linguist
Deborah Tannen, who has studied the communication style of men and women, says that this is a
stereotype. According to Tannen, women are more verbal – talk more – in private situations, where
they use consersation as the “glue” to hold relationships together. But, she says, men talk more in
public situations, where they use conversation to exchange information and gain status. Tannen points
out that we can see these differences even in children. Little girls often play with one “best friend”,
their play includes a lot of conversation. Little boys often play games in groups; their play usually
involves more doing than talking. In school, girls are often better at verbal skills; boys are often better
at mathematics.
A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roofs of this differences. Researchers
studied conversation between children age 3-6 and their parents. They found evidence that parents
talk very differently to their sons than they do to their daughters. Specifically, when parents talk with
their daughters, they use more descriptive language and more details. There is also far more talk about
emotions, especially sadness, with daughters than with sons.
31. Which sentence best expresses the main idea of the first paragrap?
A. Women talk more than men B. It’s stereotype that women talk more
than men.
C.Women talk more in private, and men talk more in public. D.Little girls and little boys have
different ways of playing.
32.Which sentence best expresses the main idea of the second paragraph?
A. Study at Emory University can help to explain the differences between communication styles of
boys and girls
B. Researchers have studied the conversations of children and thei parents.
C. Parents do not talk much more sadness with their sons.
D. An Emory University found that parents talk more with their daughters than with their sons.
33. Which of the following phrases best explains the meaning of the word “verbal”?
A. deriving from verbs B. being very talkative
C.connected with the use of spoken language D.using very loud voice
34. Which can be used as a synonym of the word “feeling”?

early, by about 10-15 minutes; be enthusiastic; shake hands firmly; be an active listener; sit
up straight and maintain eye contact; and ask questions
After the interview, follow up with a thank-you note. This is a chance for you to restate
your interest and how you can benefit the company. Your best bet is to try to time it so that
the note gets there before the hiring: decision is made. You should also follow up with a

UNIT 8: LIFE IN THE FUTURE (Review)

indicate the correct answer to each of the questions form 1 to 5.
One of the greatest advantages of robots is that they can work in situations that
are dangerous or harmful for human workers. For example, the continuous smell of
paint has a harmful effect on painters, but it doesn't "bother" a robot. Robots can
work in nuclear power plants and in undersea research stations that might be
dangerous for humans. Already, robots are working in the plastics industry and in
chemical and industrial equipment industries. One of the most common uses of robots
is still in automobile factories. They can do the heavy, unpleasant, or dangerous work.
These kinds of industrial robots are not usually "mobile". The work they need to do is
brought to them, like cars on an assembly line, for example.
The robot industry is a big business. By the middle of the 1990s, Japan led the
world in robot production with more than 71,000 industrial robots at work. Both the
United States and Japan, as well as other countries, continue to develop more
advanced robots. Robots can now be made to perform more complex jobs. Robots can
make decisions while they are working and learn from their mistakes. Robots can now
see with TV camera "eyes." They can easily hear and can even speak using a voice
made by a computer. But it is difficult to make a robot "understand." Thinking and
understanding are very human qualities. The robots of the future will probably be very
complex. They will be able to perform many humanlike tasks. Robots and other
technology will make the future a very interesting place!
1. We can infer from the passage that by the middle of the 1990s___________________.
A. only Japan had used robots in production
B. Japan and the USA were the only countries to use robots
C. some countries had used robots in industrial production
D. Japan led the world in production thanks to robots
2. Which of the following are robots NOT be able to do?
A. To speak using a voice made by a computer B. To think and
understand

In many modern countries, people think of a family as a mother, a father and their
children. But this is not the only kind of the family group. In some parts of the world, a
family group has many other members. This kind of large family is called an "extended
family" or a "joint family".
The joint family includes all living relatives on either the mother's or the father's side of
the family. It is made up of grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, and
cousins. They live together in a large house or in huts built close together.
Early people probably lived in joint families. They had to be part of a large group in order
to survive. The members of the group helped each other hunt. They worked together to
protect themselves from dangerous animals and other enemies.
In China, people lived in joint families. When a son married, he and his wife lived at his
parents' home. Unmarried daughters remained at home until they married. Chinese children
felt very loyal to their parents. Younger members of the joint families always took care of the
old ones.
In India and Africa, some people still live in joint families. The members of a joint family
share their earnings and property. If one member of the group becomes ill or has bad luck, the
others help the person. As in the past, the members of the joint family offer each other help
and protection.

wants to shake hands, then offer a firm grip first maintaining eye contact and a smile.

you display an enthusiasm in whatever you say. This enthusiasm comes across in the
energetic way you put forward your ideas.
You should maintain a cheerful disposition throughout the interview. A little humor or wit
thrown in the discussion occasionally enables the interviewer to look at the pleasant side of
your personality.
You must maintain eye contact with the interviewer. This shows your self-confidence and
honesty. Many interviewees while answering questions, tend to look away. This conveys you

Education is another area of social life in which information technology is changing
the way we communicate. Today’s college students may not simply sit in a lecture or a
library to learn about their field. Through their computers and the wonders of virtual
reality, they can participate in lifelike simulated experiences. Consider the following
scenario of the future of education made possible through developments in information
technology.
For children over the age of 10, daily attendance at school is not compulsory. Some of
the older children attend school only once or twice weekly to get tutorial support or
instruction from a teacher. For the most part, pupils are encouraged to work online from
home. Students must complete a minimum number of study hours per year; however, they
may make up these hours by studying at home at times that suit the family schedule. They
can log on in early or late in the day and even join live classes in other countries. In order
to ensure that each student is learning adequately, computer software will automatically
monitor the number of hours a week each student studies online as well as that student’s
learning materials and assessment activities. Reports will be available for parents and
teachers. The software can then identify the best learning activities and conditions for
each individual student and generate similar activities. It can also identify areas of weak
achievement and produce special programs adjusted to the student’s needs.

In many modern countries, people think of a family as a mother, a father and their
children. But this is not the only kind of the family group. In some parts of the world, a
family group has many other members. This kind of large family is called an "extended
family" or a "joint family".
The joint family includes all living relatives on either the mother's or the father's side of
the family. It is made up of grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts, and
cousins. They live together in a large house or in huts built close together.
Early people probably lived in joint families. They had to be part of a large group in order
to survive. The members of the group helped each other hunt. They worked together to
protect themselves from dangerous animals and other enemies.
In China, people lived in joint families. When a son married, he and his wife lived at his
parents' home. Unmarried daughters remained at home until they married. Chinese children
felt very loyal to their parents. Younger members of the joint families always took care of the
old ones.
In India and Africa, some people still live in joint families. The members of a joint family
share their earnings and property. If one member of the group becomes ill or has bad luck, the
others help the person. As in the past, the members of the joint family offer each other help
and protection.
