In the United States and other developed countries, air-conditioning is so common that it is difficult to
remember what life was like before it existed. First invented in 1902 in Buffalo, New York, air-conditioning keeps
homes, cars, offices, and shoppịng centers cool and dry, all at the push of a button. While many may consider air-
conditioning one of life's necessary luxuries, few are aware of how air-conditioning has changed many aspects of
the way we now live. One of the first areas where air-conditioning had ạn impact was in industry. In the early 1900s
factory owners began to use air- conditioning to create better conditions for the storage of supplies. Before long,
however, they realized that air-conditioning was also useful on the factory floor, as it resulted in higher production
levels. Air-conditioning has undoubtedly been an important factor in the growth of industry, since it allows
manufacturing to continue at the same pace year round even in the warmest climates.
Air-conditioning next became common in movie theaters, offlces, and stores. Then, after the end of the
Second World War, smaller, less expensive air-conditioning units became available, and this made air-conditioning
affordable for private homes. Many of the returning soldiers and their new families moved to the suburbs outside
America's major cities with a desire to put the war behind them and live the good life. Air-conditioned homes were
part of that life, and this led to a number of important changes in American society. One big change was in
architecture. Formerly, homes were built with high ceilings and second stories so that hot air could rise away from
main living areas in the summer. With air-conditioning, inexpensive one-level homes could be kept cool in the
hottest weather. Additionally, many homes once had front porches where American families gathered in the
evening to escape the heat. Family members could talk to each other and to neighbors or passers-by. With air-
conditioning. however, porches disappeared from new houses and people moved indoors instead. Along with other
factors, such as the invention of television, this led to a weakening of Americans' sense of community.
Question 7: In developed countries, air-conditioning is ______.
A. very popular B. difflcult to remember C. liked by everyone D. expensive
Question 8: Air-conditioning first had a great influence on ______.
A. factory owners B. industrial workers C. industrial suppliers. D. stored supplies
Question 9: Air-conditioning was found useful in factories as it ______.
A. made the level higher B. created favourable conditions for customers
C. stopped temperature drop D. improved productivity
Question 10: The word "undoubtedly" in the first paragraph can be best replaced by ______.
A. unfortunately B. obviously C. suspiciously D. surprisingly

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 40 to 46.
RELIGION IN JAPAN
The native religion of Japan is Shintou, an indigenous folk religion that finds spirits abounding in nature.
There is no formal creed, or indeed much of any philosophy behind it. It basically allows followers a way of currying
favour with various gods so as to receive good luck. Even today, many older Japanese will, when walking past a
shrine, turn and bow to the spirits within.
Mahayana Buddhism arrived in Japan in the 6th century. Over the centuries, it grew in prestige and
divided into sects. Today, the most well-known forms of Japanese Buddhism are Souka Gakkai - the quasi-political
religious group that has significant political clout - and Zen Buddhism.
Shintou and Buddhism have a long and intertwined history in Japan, and it is only in the past hundred
years or so that they have been separated. Even today things can be confusing, as the design of Shintou shrines
and Buddhist temples can look very much alike. The key tip: If there's a torii (a large, two-legged arch) standing at
the entrance of the grounds, it's a Shintou shrine; if not, it's a Buddhist temple.
A visit to a shrine first involves the visitor washing his hands and mouth at a pool in front of the shrine.
Then he will make an offering of money, ring the gong, bow twice, clap twice and bow twice more.
To an outsider's eyes, there are a few differences with regards to religion as it is practised in Japan. The
most obvious is that in Japan it is perfectly permissible - indeed, almost expected - that people can be both
Buddhist and Shintoist at the same time. Many Japanese, for example, will get married in a Shintou ceremony, but
will have Buddhist rites at their funerals.
In fact, many Japanese seem to avoid people who appear overtly religious. Occasionally you will meet a
proselytiser of some religion on the street, but in general, people seem to think that that kind of behaviour is
reserved for cult members. People have strong memories of the cult that killed and injured so many people on the
Trang 3/4 - Mã đề thi 414
- Tokyo underground system with toxic sarin gas in 1995, and find anyone who is not moderate in his religion a little
unsettling.
Performing dispassionate, ritualistic acts is line, I suppose, but many Japanese cannot begin to fathom
those who take strong moral stands. So much of Japanese society is geared towards enjoying oneself that there
seems to be no appetite left for considering intangible issues. As one Japanese told me when I expressed an
appreciation in the aesthetics of Zen, "I can't do it. It's just too hard." This attitude may go a long way in explaining
why non-Japanese friends of mine who were so interested in Buddhism wound up criticising Japan as a religiously
dead society.
