indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.
Isaac Newton (1643-1727) and Albert Einstein (1897-1955) are regarded as two of the most important
scientists of all time. They also share some similarities.
Both Einstein and Newton were described as lonely children who lacked social skills, but had a passion for
complex topics. Einstein dropped out of school at the age of 15 because he felt bored and didn't like the teaching style.
Similarly, Newton didn't excel in school, although he completed his secondary education and managed to enter
Cambridge University.
Both worked in the field of physics and maths, but in different time periods and contributed to our
understanding of gravity. Newton was the first person to describe gravity and discover the basic laws of mechanics
and motion. While Einstein agreed with some aspects of his theory, he showed that Newton was wrong about time
and space, and came up with a new theory of gravity. Einstein also established the foundations of modern physics.
The scientific achievements of both Newton and Einstein are impressive, and there is still a debate about
who made the bigger contribution to humankind.

Read the following passage about culture shock and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.
[I] Culture shock refers to feelings of confusion or anxiety that people may have when experiencing a
new and different culture. [II] Culture shock can be caused by language barriers, unfamiliar lifestyles,
Trang 3/4 - Mã đề thi 201
different climate, or strange food. [III] For example, visitors to the US find it hard to get used to the local
tipping culture. By contrast, tipping in Japan can be considered rude and even insulting in many situations.
[IV]
The best way to overcome culture shock is to start learning about the new culture before moving there.
You should try to focus on the positive aspects of your new experiences and keep an open mind. This helps
understand different ways of thinking about the world, gain new knowledge and experiences, and promote
personal growth.
Research says that almost two-thirds to three-quarters of the world drive on the right, while only one-
third to a quarter of the world drive on the left including the UK and Australia. Or you may find out that
things that you're used to are banned in another country. In Singapore, for example, the sale of chewing gum
is illegal and Singaporeans take this law very seriously. So always remember that culture shock is not a
bad experience, but the beginning of an exciting learning journey to cultural diversity.
