Although in many other countries<br /> the elderly usually live with children’s family, many older Americans live alone, without the close<br /> companionship of their children. This situation is sometimes blamed on the “selfishness” of the younger<br /> generation, but a closer look reveals that many of the elderly prefer to maintain their independent lives.<br /> Research on the situation of the elderly in America has shown that while grandparents are delighted to be<br /> visited from time to time by their children and grandchildren, they prefer to continue living in the<br /> surroundings that they are familiar with. This suggests that children should let their parents live alone if they<br /> wish to, but should encourage them to maintain close ties to the rest of the family.<br /> Another surprising result of research on the elderly in the United States has been the very positive<br /> influence which pets have been found to have on the older that they live with. It has been shown that elderly<br /> people who care for small pets, such as cats and dogs, live longer, are healthier, and have better attitudes<br /> towards their lives than similar older people without these companions.<br /> (Adapted from : https://gid.lt/anglu-kalba/peoples-and-trips)<br /> Question 41: What is the passage mainly about?<br /> A.

I am concerned<br /> about exam scores, too. This makes me think that all the stress they cause is bad for our health. In my opinion,<br /> schools should focus less on other ways of learning.<br /> It is important to ask “what are exams really for?”. The teachers tell us that exams are for testing how<br /> much we have learned. Personally, I think that exams mostly just test how well people take exams! It seems to<br /> me that those who get high scores are good at taking exams, but they are not always the best students. They<br /> may be good at studying details and memorizing facts but that does not mean they are the smartest students in<br /> the class.<br /> I believe that students would learn more at school if they could focus on learning together with other<br /> students in class and with the teacher. The time we spend preparing for and taking exams could be spent<br /> sharing ideas instead of memorizing facts. Also, if teachers gave students more of their time and attention,<br /> they would know more about our learning abilities and not need to give us tests all the time.<br /> (Adapted from "Preparation Book for TOEFL Junior Test")<br /> Question 46: Why did the author write this passage?<br /> A. To disagree with the belief that taking exams has disadvantages<br /> B. To suggest that exams should be the main focus of learning<br /> C. To warn teachers against spending too little time with students<br /> D. To argue that schools should stress learning and not exams<br /> Question 47: The word “anxious” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.<br /> A. angry<br /> B. hurt<br /> C. nervous<br /> D. proud<br /> Question 48: The author thinks exams are bad for students' health because ______.<br /> A. they force students to focus<br /> B. they call for new ways of learning<br /> C. they require students to study<br /> D. they cause a lot of stress<br /> Question 49: The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to ______.<br /> A. students<br /> B. exams<br /> C. teachers<br /> D. schools<br /> Question 50: According to the author, how can teachers know more about their students' abilities?<br /> A. By spending more time with them.<br /> B. By giving them tests all the time.<br /> C. By letting them study for exams by themselves.<br /> D. By encouraging them to memorize details.<br /> -----------------------------------------------<br /> <br /> ----------- HẾT ----------<br /> <br /> Trang 4/4 - Mã đề thi 804<br /> <br />
