1 There are three different kinds of bums: first-degree, two-degree, and 2 third-degree bums. Each type of bums requires a different type of medical 3 treatment. The less serious bum is the first-degree bum. This bum causes the 4 skin to turn red but does not cause blistering. A mild sunburn is a good 5 example of a first-degree bum, and unlike a mild sunburn, first-degree bums 6 generally do not require medical treatment another than gently cooling the 7 burned skin with ice or cold tap water. Second-degree bums, on the other hand, 8 do cause blistering of the skin and should be treated immediately. These bums 9 should be immersed in warm water and then wrapped in a sterile dressing or 10 bandage. Third-degree bums are those that char the skin and turn it black or 11 bum it so deeply that the skin turns white. These bums usually result in direct

12 contact with flames and have a great chance of becoming infected. AU third 13 degree bum victims should be give immediate hospital care. If possible, a 14 sterile dressing or bandage should be applied to the bums before the victims 15 are transported to hospital.

L Read the passage below and Choose the correct answer (A, B, C, or D) to each o f the questions. (1 point) Psychologists are interested in the reasons why some people like taking part in risky  sports. When they studied people who were learning to jump from a plane with a parachute, they  found that the parachutists’ bodies produced large amounts o f two hormones, adrenaline and nor  adrenaline, just before they made their jump.

These hormones help to prepare us for_any; sudden activity. Adrenaline increases the heart  rate and provides more sugar for the muscles, while nor adrenaline makes us react more quickly.  However, nor adrenaline also stimulates the part of the brain which controls feelings of pleasure.  Some psychologists have concluded that it is a feeling of pleasure caused by this hormone that  makes certain people want to participate in dangerous sports.

Another possible reason is the level of arousal in part o f the brain. According to some  psychologists, the brain tries to maintain a certain level of arousal. They believe that people who  normally have a low level ;of arousal look for excitement and new experiences in order to  stimulate themselves, whereajs people who usually have a high level of arousal try to avoid risks  and unfamiliar situations in order not to become over excited. If the psychologists are right, people  with a low arousal are the ones who enjoy participating in dangerous sports and activities.

It is thought that people with low levels of arousal have a slower-reacting nervous system  than people with higher arousal levels. It may therefore be possible to find out your level of  arousal by testing your nervojus system. A quick way o f doing this is to put some lemon juice on  your tongue. If you produce k lot o f saliva, your nervous system has been affected by the lemon  and so you probably have a high level of arousal. If you produce little saliva, you probably have a  low arousal level. If you have a low level, you might enjoy taking part in risky sports. However,  this does not mean that you have to try parachuting!

De TiengAnh - Chuyen Anh - Trang 4/10

51. Why did the parachutists’ bodies produce a lot o f adrenaline and nor adrenaline before they  jumped from a plane?

A. This is a natural reaction which helps to prepare one for sudden activities. B. Because they had high arousal levels, which makes them enjoy risky sports. C. It is a natural reaction which guards them against the effects of accidents. D. Because they had taken drugs which led to the production o f these two hormones.

52. What two possible reasons are given for some people’s desire to participate in dangerous sports? A. A lack o f common sense, and a high level o f arousal which makes them seek excitement. B. A low level o f arousal, and an inborn desire for adventure burning inside. C. The pleasure that results from the production of nor adrenaline, and a low level of arousal. D. The desire to show off, and a lack of common sense due to the slow-reacting nervous system.

53. What does the brain try to maintain, according to some psychologists?

A. A high temperature B. A low temperature

C. A certain level o f arousal D. A sense o f safety

54. Why do psychologists believe that people with a high level of arousal try to avoid danger? A. Because they already have the level of excitement which the brain tries to maintain. B. Because they are more aware of the danger involved.

C. Because they already have enough of the two hormones, adrenaline and nor adrenaline. D. Because they would not be able to cope with accidents.

55. What is shown by putting lemon juice on your tongue?

A. It shows that you have a high level of arousal if no saliva is produced.

B. It indicates your level o f arousal by the amount o f saliva that is produced. C. It can indicate whether your saliva is more acidic or more alkaline.

D. It is a good test o f your sense of taste with the amount of saliva produced.

56. What kind of substances are adrenaline and nor adrenaline?

A. subatomic particles B. minerals C. vitamins D. hormones 57. What substances is thought to stimulate the brain to make us feel pleasure? A. adrenaline B. nor adrenaline C. lemon juice D. manganese dioxide So. VvTiich o f the following does adrenaline do?

59. Where were the parachutists when, according to the passage, they produced large amounts of  the two hormones?

A. On an airplane B. In the air C. On the ground D. At sea

60. According to some psychologists, what kind of people try to avoid unfamiliar situations? A. People who do not like lemon juice.

In the American colonies there was little money. England did not supply the colonies with coins and did not allow the colonies to (61)______ their own coins, except for the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which received permission for a short period in 1652 to make several kinds of silver coins. England wanted to keep money out of America as a (6 2 )______ o f controlling trade: America was forced to trade only with England if it did not have the money to buy products from  other countries. The result during this pre-revolutionary period was that the colonists used various goods in place o f money: beaver pelts, Indian wampum, and tobacco leaves were all (63)______ used as substitutes for money. The (6 4 )______ also made use of any foreign coins they could obtain. Dutch, Spanish, French, and English coins were all in use in the American colonies.

During the Revolutionary War, funds were needed to finance the world, so (65)______ of the individual states and the Continental Congress issued paper money. So much o f this paper money was (66)______ that by the end of the war, almost no one would accept (67)_______. As a result, trade in goods and the use of (68)______ coins still flourished during this period.

By the time the Revolutionary War had been won by the American colonists, the monetary  system was in a state of total disarray. To remedy this situation, the new Constitution of the  United States, approved in 1789, allowed the Congress to issue money. The individual states could no longer have (6 9 )______ own money supply. A few years later, the Coinage Act of 1792 made the dollar the (7 0 )______ Currency of the United States and put the country on a bimetallic standard. In this bimetallic; system, both gold and silver were legal money, and the rate of  exchange of silver to gold was fixed by the government at sixteen to one.

III. R ead the passage and answ er the questions 71-80 as directed. (1 point) W hy being bored is stim ulating - and useful, too

The most common o f emotions is turning out to be more interesting than we thought A We all know how1 it feels - it’s impossible to keep your mind on anything, time stretches out, and all the things you could do seem equally unlikely to make you feel better.  But defining boredom so that it can be studied in the lab has proved difficult. For a start, it  can include a lot of other mental states, such as frustration, apathy, depression and  indifference. There isn’t even agreement over whether boredom is always a low-energy, flat  kind of emotion or whether feeling agitated and restless counts as boredom, too. In his  book, Boredom: A Lively History, Peter Toohey at the University o f Calgary, Canada,  compares it to disgust -4 an emotion that motivates us to stay away from certain situations.  ‘If disgust protects humans from infection, boredom may protect them from “infectious”  social situations,’ he suggests.

3 By asking people about their experiences of boredom, Thomas Goetz and his team at the University o f Konstanz in Germany have recently identified five distinct types:  indifferent, calibrating,; searching, reactant, and apathetic. These can be plotted on two  axes - one running left to right, which measures low to high arousal, and the other from top

De TiengAnh - Chuyen Anh — Trang 6/10

 

to bottom, which measures how positive or negative the feeling is. Intriguingly, Goetz has  found that while people experience all kinds of boredom, they tend to specialise in one. Of  the five types, the most damaging is ‘reactant’ boredom with its explosive combination of  high arousal and negative emotion. The most useful is what Goetz calls ‘indifferent’ 

boredom: someone isn’t engaged in anything satisfying but still feels relaxed and calm.  However, it remains to be seen whether there are any character traits that predict the kind of  boredom each of us might be prone to.

q Psychologist Sandi Mann at the University of Central Lancashire, UK, goes further. ‘All emotions are there for a reason, including boredom,’ she says. Mann has found that  being bored makes us more creative. ‘We’re all afraid of being bored but in actual fact it  can lead to all kinds of amazing things,’ she says. In experiments published last year, Mann  found that people who had been made to feel bored by copying numbers out of the phone  book for 15 minutes came up with more creative ideas about how to use a polystyrene cup  than a control group. Mann concluded that a passive, boring activity is best for creativity  because it allows the mind to wander. In fact, she goes so far as to suggest that we should  seek out more boredom in our lives.

D Psychologist John Eastwood at York University in Toronto, Canada, isn’t convinced. ‘If you are in a state of mind-wandering you are not bored,’ he says. ‘In my view, by  definition boredom is an undesirable state.’ That doesn’t necessarily mean that it isn’t  adaptive, he adds. ‘Pain is adaptive - if we didn’t have physical pain, bad things would  happen to us. Does that mean that we should actively cause pain? No. But even if boredom  has evolved to help us survive, it can still be toxic if allowed to fester.’ For Eastwood, the  central feature of boredom is a failure to put our ‘attention system’ into gear. This causes an  inability to focus on anything, which makes time seem to go painfully slowly. What’s more,  your efforts to improve the situation can end up making you feel worse. ‘People try to  connect with the world and if they are not successful there’s that frustration and irritability,’  he says. Perhaps most worryingly, says Eastwood, repeatedly failing to engage attention can  lead to a state where we don’t know what to do any more, and no longer care.

g Eastwood’s team is now trying to explore why the attention system fails. It’s early days but they think that at least some of it comes down to personality. Boredom proneness  has been linked with a variety o f traits. People who are motivated by pleasure seem to suffer  particularly badly. Other personality traits such as curiosity are associated with a high  boredom threshold. More evidence that boredom has detrimental effects comes from studies  of people who are more or less prone to boredom. It seems those who bore easily face  poorer prospects in education, their career and even life in general. But of course, boredom  itself cannot kill - it’s the things we do to deal with it that may put us in danger. What can  we do to alleviate it before it comes to that? Goetz’s group has one suggestion. Working  with teenagers, they found that those who ‘approach’ a boring situation - in other words,  see that it’s boring and get stuck in anyway - report less boredom than those who try to  avoid it by using snacks, TV or social media for distraction.

p Psychologist Francoise Wemelsfelder speculates that our over-connected lifestyles might even be a new sources of boredom. ‘In modem human society there is a lot o f  overstimulation but still a lot of problems finding meaning,’ she says. So instead o f seeking  yet more mental stimulation, perhaps we should leave our phones alone, and use boredom  to motivate us to engage with the world in a more meaningful way.

The less serious bum is the first-degree bum. This bum causes the 4 skin to turn red but does not cause blistering. A m ild sunburn is a good 5 example of a first-degree bum, and unlike a mild sunburn, first-degree bums 6 generally do not require medical treatment another than gently cooling the 7 burned skin with ice or cold tap water. Second-degree bums, on the other hand, 8 do cause blistering of the skin and should be treated immediately. These bums 9 should be immersed in warm water and then wrapped in a sterile dressing or 10 bandage. Third-degree bums are those that char the skin and turn it black or

Psychologists are interested in the reasons why some people like taking part in risky  sports. W hen they studied people who were learning to jum p from a plane w ith a parachute, they  found that the parachutists’ bodies produced large amounts of two hormones, adrenaline and nor  adrenaline, ju st before they made their jump.

These hormones help to prepare us for any sudden activity. Adrenaline increases the heart  rate and provides more sugar for the muscles, while nor adrenaline makes us react more quickly.  However, nor adrenaline also stimulates the part o f the brain which controls feelings of pleasure.  Some psychologists have concluded that it is a feeling o f pleasure caused by this hormone that  makes certain people want to participate in dangerous sports.

Another possible reason is the level of arousal in part of the brain. According to some  psychologists, the brain tries to maintain a certain level o f arousal. They believe that people who  normally have a low level of arousal look for excitement and new experiences in order to  stimulate themselves, whereas people who usually have a high level o f arousal try to avoid risks  and unfam iliar situations in order not to become over excited. If the psychologists are right, people  with a low arousal are the ones who enjoy participating in dangerous sports and activities.

It is thought that people with low levels o f arousal have a slower-reacting nervous system than people with higher arousal levels. It may therefore be possible to find out your level o f arousal by testing your nervous system. A quick way o f doing this is to put some lemon juice on your tongue. If you produce a lot o f saliva, your nervous system has been affected by the lemon and so you probably have a high level o f arousal. If you produce little saliva, you probably have a low arousal level. If you have a low level, you m ight enjoy taking part in risky sports. However, this does not mean that you have to try parachuting!

In th e American colonies there was little money. England did not supply the colonies with coins and did not allow the colonies to (61)______ their own coins, except for the Massachusetts Bay Colony, which received permission for a short period in 1652 to make several kinds o f silver coins. England wanted to keep money out o f America as a (6 2 )______ o f controlling trade: America w as forced to trade only with England if it did not have the money to buy products from  other countries. The result during this pre-revolutionary period was that the colonists used various goods in place o f money: beaver pelts, Indian wampum, and tobacco leaves were all (63)______ used as substitutes for money.

W hy being bored is stim ulating - and useful, too

The most common o f emotions is turning out to be more interesting than we thought

A W e all know how it feels - it’s impossible to keep your mind on anything, time  . stretches out, and all the things you could do seem equally unlikely to make you feel better.  But defining boredom so that it can be studied in the lab has proved difficult. For a start, it  can include a lot o f other mental states, such as frustration, apathy, depression and  indifference. There isn’t even agreement over whether boredom is always a low-energy, flat  kind o f emotion or whether feeling agitated and restless counts as boredom, too. In his  book, Boredom: A Lively History, Peter Toohey at the University o f Calgary, Canada,  compares it to disgust - an emotion that motivates us to stay away from certain situations.  ‘If disgust protects humans from infection, boredom may protect them from “infectious”  social situations,’ he suggests.

B By asking people about their experiences o f boredom, Thomas Goetz and his team at the University o f Konstanz in Germany have recently identified five distinct types:  indifferent, calibrating, searching, reactant, and apathetic. These can be plotted on two  axes - one running left to right, which measures low to high arousal, and the other from top

j D i Tieng Anh - Chuyen Anh - Trang 6/10

to bottom, which measures how positive or negative the feeling is. Intriguingly, Goetz has  found that while people experience all kinds of boredom, they tend to specialise in one. O f  the five types, the m ost damaging is ‘reactant’ boredom with its explosive combination of  high arousal and negative emotion. The most useful is what Goetz calls ‘indifferent’  boredom: someone isn’t engaged in anything satisfying but still feels relaxed and calm.  However, it remains to be seen whether there are any character traits that predict the kind o f  boredom each o f us m ight be prone to.

C Psychologist Sandi Mann at the University o f Central Lancashire, UK, goes further.  ‘All emotions are there for a reason, including boredom,’ she says. Mann has found that  being bored makes us more creative. ‘We’re all afraid of being bored but in actual fact it  can lead to all kinds o f amazing things,’ she says. In experiments published last year, Mann  found that people who had been made to feel bored by copying numbers out o f the phone  book for 15 minutes came up w ith more creative ideas about how to use a polystyrene cup  than a control group. Mann concluded that a passive, boring activity is best for creativity  because it allows the mind to wander. In fact, she goes so far as to suggest that we should  seek out more boredom in our lives.

E) Psychologist John Eastwood at York University in Toronto, Canada, isn’t convinced.  ‘If you are in a state o f mind-wandering you are not bored,’ he says. ‘In my view, by  definition boredom is an undesirable state.’ That doesn’t necessarily mean that it isn’t  adaptive, he adds. ‘Pain is adaptive - if we didn’t have physical pain, bad things would  happen to us. Does that mean that we should actively cause pain? No. But even if boredom  has evolved to help us survive, it can still be toxic if allowed to fester.’ For Eastwood, the  central feature o f boredom is a failure to put our ‘attention system’ into gear. This causes an  inability to focus on anything, which makes time seem to go painfully slowly. W hat’s more,  your efforts to improve the situation can end up making you feel worse. ‘People try to  connect with the world and if they are not successful there’s that frustration and irritability,’  he says. Perhaps m ost worryingly, says Eastwood, repeatedly failing to engage attention can  lead to a state where we don’t know what to do any more, and no longer care.

E Eastwood’s team is now trying to explore why the attention system fails. It’s early days but they think that at least some of it comes down to personality. Boredom proneness  has been linked with a variety o f traits. People who are motivated by pleasure seem to suffer  particularly badly. Other personality traits such as curiosity are associated w ith a high  boredom threshold. More evidence that boredom has detrimental effects comes from studies  o f people who are more or less prone to boredom. It seems those who bore easily face  poorer prospects in education, their career and even life in general. But of course, boredom  itself cannot kill - it’s the things we do to deal with it that may put us in danger. W hat can  we do to alleviate it before it comes to that? Goetz’s group has one suggestion. Working  w ith teenagers, they found that those who ‘approach’ a boring situation - in other words,  see that it’s boring and get stuck in anyway - report less boredom than those w ho try to  avoid it by using snacks, TV or social media for distraction.

p Psychologist Francoise W emelsfelder speculates that our over-connected lifestyles m ight even be a new sources o f boredom. ‘In modem human society there is a lot of  overstimulation but still a lot o f problems finding meaning,’ she says. So instead o f seeking  yet more mental stimulation, perhaps we should leave our phones alone, and use boredom  to motivate us to engage with the world in a more meaningful way.
