At some point in your life, you've probably eaten a potato.

Without the potato, our modern civilization might not exist at all. (2).

So instead of consuming them, they used potatoes as (7). More than 200 years would pass before the potato

However, beginning around 1750, and thanks at least in part to the wide availability of inexpensive and nutritious potatoes, (9)_ _____with greater food security no longer found themselves at the mercy of the regularly occurring grain famines of the time, and so their populations steadily grew. As a result, the British, Dutch and German Empires rose on the backs of the growing groups of farmers, laborers, and soldiers, thus lifting the West to its place of (10). However, not all European countries sprouted empires. After the Irish adopted the potato, their population dramatically increased, as did their dependence on the tuber as a major food staple. But then disaster struck. From (11). potato blight disease ravaged the majority of Ireland's potato crop, leading to the Irish Potato Famine, one of (12). in world history.

Aided by the influx of (14) Europe now had a large, sustainable, and well-fed population who were capable of manning the emerging factories that would bring about our modern world via the Industrial Revolution.

Coffee, one of the world's most wide consumed beverages, was not always so ubiquitous or popular. At times a carefully guarded secret, at other a banned drink, nature's pick-me up has spread from its place of origin in Ethiopia to every corner of the world.
According to legend, coffee was discovered in the 9th century by an attentive Ethiopian goatherd who noticed a frenzy overcoming his herd after they ate the ripe berry. From Ethiopia coffee moved to Yemen, where it was cultivated for centuries before it arrived in Turkey in the 15th century. In Turkey the seeds roasted and then mashed and mixed with water, creating a beverage similar to modern coffee. Introduced to Europe in the 17th century thanks to Italian traders, coffee had sailed to India and Indonesia with Dutch merchants by the beginning of the 18th century. Coffee took its way to Brazil in 1727, hidden in a bouquet of flowers, and quickly spread throughout the rest of Latin America, and by 1823 had spread to Hawaii. In 1893 coffee returned home to Africa where it settled as a lucrative cash crop in Kenya and Tanzania. After almost a millennia of traveling, coffee had circumnavigated the globe.
Today, Brazil is the largest producer of this important commodity, harvests more than 1 billion. kilograms annually. Vietnam, which did not start growing coffee until 1914, is among the largest producers. Two types of coffee are produced worldwide, Arabica and Robusta. Arabica, which takes its name from its origins in the Arabian Peninsula, accounts for three-quarters of world production and was once grown most exclusively in South America. Robusta, which has a higher caffeine content, accounts for one quarter of world production and is found mainly in Africa, Asia and Indonesia, where its hardiness can withstand an overall range of climates rather than Arabica.

BORN TO TALK
Why us? It's a simple question. Why are humans the only creatures on the planet who have mastered language? It's a puzzle that has engaged some of the best brains from linguists to evolutionary biologists, geneticists to anthropologists. And yet, we still don't have an answer.
Unlike other aspects of human evolution where we have fossil evidence, it is difficult to know with any certainty how language began. The archaeological records are extremely scant and highly ambiguous. where they exist', says linguist Derek Bickerton. 'Our knowledge of how the brain produces language is still in its infancy.' You can find convincing arguments dating this momentous development to anywhere between 100,000 to 1.8 million years ago. It's known, for example, that all species in the Homo genus - that includes all our evolutionary cousins, such as Neanderthals, had the means to talk. We just have no idea if they did.
Professor Mark Pagel of the Reading Evolutionary Biology Group is approaching the question by tracing words back through their own family tree, which allows us to see how language has evolved. He has been able to trace some words back as far as 20,000 years. 'Words are transmitted like genes from parents to offspring,' he says. "This means we can compare the words that people use like we compare their genes to establish how closely related various speakers are. If two people have many genes in common, it suggests they shared a recent common ancestor. Similarly, if two languages have many words. in common, it suggests they both derive from a shared ancestral language.' It's when you try and delve further back, to look at how it all really began, that things get trickier. The question of how humans came to develop the estimated 6900 languages spoken today is one that excites a great deal of heated debate.
-
For decades, the work of Massachusetts Institute of Technology linguist, Noam Chomsky was the final word on the subject. He said that humans were born with an innate ability for language our brains were hard-wired to do it. Chomsky stands by this view today. 'I've never heard of a coherent alternative,' he says. Psychologist Steven Pinker also broadly shares this view, comparing human language with the instinct in spiders to make webs.
But Simon Kirby, Dean Falk and a range of other scientists from various disciplines are now challenging the orthodox thinking. Kirby and his team at Edinburgh have carried out a series of experiments that have led him to re-think the interaction between language and the person speaking it. 'Pinker would say language is the way it is because we are born with a set of mechanisms, or organs, that allow us to learn language,' he says. 'It is an entirely reasonable explanation, but I would say it ignores something important. Language doesn't spring fully from any kind of biological faculty that we have. The language we're speaking now is a product of us both being exposed to English growing up. It's an obvious fact that Pinker wouldn't disagree with, but actually it has some profound implications."
Kirby believes language has adapted to us, through a process of cultural transmission through the generations. In other words, language has adapted because it is good for language, rather than because we are biologically adapted for it. This is a way of thinking that, metaphorically at least, lets us visualize language as an organism, which has gone through the normal processes of natural selection to survive.
Not everyone is convinced by this argument, however. 'Language as a whole is not hard-wired,' says Bickerton, but some aspects of it are. The range of possibilities from which a language chooses its. speech sounds and the basic processes of syntax are innate in the sense that the first from specifics of human anatomy and the second from the particular way the brain is wired up and operates. Though there
Tiếng Anh THPT – Bảng A

is no such thing as a 'language organ', syntax is just what happens when a fairly advanced brain has to deal with words.'
But where did those words come from? How did we develop such a perfect system of communication, in which someone can speak a sentence that has never been said before and yet still be perfectly understood? 'The last ten years have seen an extraordinary explosion of interest,' says Simon Kirby. 'It's a really striking and exciting time to be in this area'. But don't hold your breath on easy answers anytime soon. 'It is a long road we are on. And we're just getting started.'

A. Fossil evidence is bound to play an invaluable role in revealing its origins.

Part 4. Read the following passage and do the tasks that follow.
CORPORAL PUNISHMENT
Corporal punishment is a contentious and much debated issue within society. Corporal punishment is defined as the use of physical force towards a child for the purpose of control and/or
Tiếng Anh THPT – Bảng A
7
correction, and as a disciplinary penalty inflicted on the body with the intention of causing some degree of pain or discomfort, however mild. Research has shown that corporal punishment is effective in achieving immediate child compliance. However, others have argued that the benefits associated with immediate child amenability can be offset by findings that indicate corporal punishment fails to teach a child self-control and inductive reasoning. Instead, corporal punishment teaches a child to avoid engaging in behaviour that is punishable by way of force while in an adult's presence, in contrast to teaching a child not to engage in the undesirable behaviour at all.
As part of their natural development, children sometimes challenge or test parental and adult expectations and authority and sometimes, children simply choose to misbehave in order to gain something, such as attention, an object, power or peer approval. This parental challenge is a significant part of the growth process of children and everyone agrees that, although it should not be discouraged, it should not be without consequence. This is how children learn right from wrong, acceptable from unacceptable. However, there are few issues parents feel more strongly about than those regarding the discipline and punishment of their children. Although people may use those terms interchangeably, they mean quite different things. The definition of discipline shows it is the process of teaching a child the difference between acceptable and unacceptable behaviour. Good discipline should be a positive force, focusing on what a child is allowed to do. The goal of discipline is to help a child change impulsive, random behaviour into controlled, purposeful behaviour, and discipline should be reinforced with teaching, firmness, and reminders. Corporal punishment is one technique of discipline. It may be physical a spank or slap; or psychological - disapproval, isolation from others, or withdrawal of privileges. The goal of punishment is to inhibit unacceptable behaviour.
There is a significant group within society that supports the use of corporal punishment, though most supporters believe in its mild application. They believe that mild corporal punishment used. sparingly within a nurturing environment teaches a child that one can press the patience of others past a point of reasonable endurance. The theory is that corporal punishment can serve to emphasise parental conviction, clear the air between parent and child, and relieve parental frustration when a child's behaviour is especially exasperating. Supporters are careful to point out, however, that corporal punishment should not be used in instances when a child's behaviour is beyond her control or truly accidental, such as spilling milk.
The overwhelming majority nowadays oppose corporal punishment in any form. The view is that corporal punishment used as a method of discipline can result in undesirable and even damaging consequences. It is said that corporal punishment does not affect misbehaviour, and takes the responsibility for the misconduct away from the child. Child psychologist Anna Westin explains. "Children need to be accountable for their own behaviour in order to learn the inner control necessary to function as healthy, self-disciplined individuals. A child who is punished with spankings, shouts, and threats may learn how to avoid these punishments simply by not misbehaving in that particular way within sight of the person who punishes. There is no guarantee that the child's behaviour will be changed over time or when he or she is away from the person who punishes him or her."
Another criticism of corporal punishment is that it may lead to a child viewing punishment as an endorsement of aggression, and learning only that a large person has power over a smaller one. Corporal punishment may also arouse feelings of resentment, counter-aggression, and deep humiliation and a child. may develop unfeeling attitudes toward another person's pain. Corporal punishment also increases the possibility of incidents of abuse, as it can be difficult for a parent to judge the severity of the punishment.
It is helpful to keep in mind the goals people have for children. If the goal is to help children learn
Tiếng Anh THPT – Bảng A
8
to control their impulses and become self-directed adults, they must be helped by expanding the discipline repertoire to include more than mild punishments that serve only as temporary stopgap measures. This, however, does not need to include corporal punishment. It can be done, for example, by accompanying a mild punishment with a verbal explanation stating specifically what the child did wrong and what she can do to correct the misbehaviour in the future. Explaining to the child so that he/she can understand why the misbehaviour is not allowed makes the child think about acceptable versus unacceptable behaviour and helps him or her learn to make decisions about his or her own behaviour. This should not be confused with trying to get the child to be "reasonable." A child does not need to agree that parental rules are reasonable in order to abide by them. It is widely agreed that, ultimately, older children will do the right thing, not because they fear external reprisal, but because they have internalised a standard initially presented by parents and other care-takers. In learning to rely on their own resources rather than their parents, children gain self-confidence and a positive self-image.
In conclusion, it is clear that corporal punishment can be an emotive issue. Many nations have now made it illegal and so parents do not really have a choice of whether to use it or not, unless they wish to break the law of their country. What is clear though is that discussion of this issue will always begin again as every new generation comes into the world.
