PASSAGE 1: As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through lift, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body. Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health. The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose Page 8 of 10 pages
- VnDoc Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between “fight” or “flight” and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress is, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it. 76. People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because ________. A. they do not know how to enjoy themselves. B. they do not believe that relaxation is important for health. C. they are travelling fast all the time. D. they are becoming busier with their work . 77. According to the writer, the most important character for a good manager is his ________. A. not fearing stress. B. knowing the art of relaxation. C. high sense of responsibility. D. having control over performance. 78. Which of the following statements is true? A. We can find some ways to avoid stress. B. Stress is always harmful to people. C. It is easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work. D. Different people can withstand different amounts of stress. 79. In Paragraph 3, “such a reaction” refers back to ________. A. “making a choice between ‘flight’ or ‘fight’ B. “reaction to stress both chemically and physically” C. “responding to crises quickly” D. “losing heart at the signs difficulties” 80. In the last sentence of the passage, “do so” refers to ________. A. “expose ourselves to stress” B. “find ways to deal with stress” C. “remove stress from our lives” D. “established links between diseases and stress” Page 9 of 10 pages
- VnDoc Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí PASSAGE 2: Traditional education creates, in time, an incomplete image on family’s gender roles. From generation to generation children interiorize theirs parent’s model known as “separated world’s myth” – a wife and a mother only cooking ,doing laundry and taking care of the child “contrasting” with a husband and a father working or fixing different things. According to this mentality each partner has established responsibilities in private and public life that other one couldn’t take over. Changing traditional gender roles seems to be difficult not because woman or man don’t have the necessary skills for other one’s tasks but because everyone carries on a symbol of his “world”. Society’s evolution especially on woman valorization redefines gender roles promoting a woman more active, ambitious and independent and a man more emotional and involved in household tasks. Women of our days have more liberty to choose between the “family model” – these ones are being more obedient and anchored in tradition (the feminine type) and the “feminist model” – who’s priority is the career (the antifeminine type) or the middle model adopted by the “double career” type of woman – profession and family. On the base of any of these choices are variables like socialstatus, race, education level, culture’s values etc. We are assisting to a reprioritization of woman needs and so professional success became more interesting and even attractive than family one probably because it brings something new. Women are motivated to choose the career by elements as the wish for financial independency, the need to prove her capacities, to open and better integrate in modern society and the possibility to control and not being only controlled. All this reasons offer her a psychological equilibrium. Most of the men consider women’s career as a conflict source having arguments like: women will neglect theirs family attributions, the imminent change of man’s authority, his incertitude concerning the professional competition and the risk to deteriorate the marital relation. Even at first side man and children are felling the stress generated by the new status of woman, she’s living an interior conflict as well. Woman need to understand her need for selfaccomplishment but the remains of traditional mentality still affect her modern vision. So our children should make a difference on gender roles perspective but we are in a vicious circle because every family is raising their kids for a passed time, influenced by their own mentality and resistance to change. The main idea is that both women and men should consider this role’s exchange like a challenge and also accept that a man as well as a woman can do anything with willing. 81. What does the reading passage mainly discuss? Page 10 of 10 pages
- VnDoc Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí A. Children’s perspective on the discrimination. B. The domination of men’s roles over women’s. C. Gender roles in modern society. D.

D. children’s ideas on what responsibilities their parents should be take charge of 83. What is the main idea of the second paragraph? A. Men’s and women’s roles cannot be easily exchanged since their lack of necessary skills. B. In the development of society, men becomes more involved in household chores while women are more active and independent. C. The exchange between men’s and women’s roles turns out challenging because of an invisible default. D. Society’s evolution is unlikely to happen due to the constancy of men’s and women’s roles. 84.

I recently discovered when advising a highaltitude level climber (Mount Everest, K2, etc) that checking the colour of urine can be a lifesaving exercise. Urine should be pale in colour, and you should go to the loo regularly throughout the day. If urine is dark, you are not drinking enough water which can quickly lead to death if you’re 24,000ft above sea level. If you think two litres of water is a lot, imagine having to drink eight to 10 the average daily fluid requirement for highaltitude climbers! E. We lose water mainly through our kidneys and skin (the skin’s inner layer, dermis, is made up of 70 per cent water and acts as a natural reservoir). We also lose a lot of water when we suffer sickness, diarrhoea or any infection that causes fever. Now that the majority of us live in centrally heated houses and work in offices with heating and air conditioning, we lose more water through our skin than people did in the past. Our diets now also contain higher levels of salt, additives and sugars, all of which place extra strain on the body’s water reserves. F. Many people wonder why doctors and medical people make so much fuss about water, but the reason is clear: water is good for you. And the more you drink the better it is for your health. Most people drink far less than they should and they are not aware of this. G. Whether you get your water from a tap or a bottle is up to you. Mineral and spring water are ground waters, which means they landed as rain, seeped through rocks and collected in underground pools. When this water reaches the surface, it can be bottled and labelled as spring water. ‘Natural mineral water’ is more rigidly defined and is better regulated; it has to come from a source which is naturally protected, of a constant composition and free from pollution. A small amount of water can be found to be naturally sparkling, but most sparkling water has had carbon dioxide pumped into it. This poses no threat to health. Your answer: 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95.
