(21)______ two tickets with a note CLOSE which said, 'One for yourself and one
for a friend - if you have one.'
Churchill lost no time in writing back, saying
that unfortunately, due
to pressure of work, he would be unable to
come, but could he have
tickets for the second night - 'if there is
one.'
This joke was (22)______ more recently by a
prominent
politician in the Labour Party, when speaking
to a colleague and long-term rival of
his. The two men found themselves in the same meeting, despite being (23)
______ enemies. The colleague (2 4 )______ rose to excuse himself, saying that
he had arranged to phone some friends, whereupon the statesman handed him a

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!

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

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.

today (8 2 )______ people use them at work, home or school and use of e-mail
and the Internet is an everyday event.
These developments have brought many (83)
______ to our lives. E-mail makes communication much easier and more immediate.
This has numerous benefits for business,
commerce, and education. The World Wide Web means that information on
every conceivable subject is now (8 4 )______ to us. Clearly, for many people
this has made life much easier and more convenient.
However, not all the effects o f the new
technology have been beneficial. Many people feel that the (85) use of e mail
is destroying traditional forms o f communication such as letter
De Tieng Anh - Chuyen Anh - Trang 8/10
writing, telephone, and face-to-face
conversation. With ever increasing use of information technology these (86)______ elements are
likely to increase in the future.
In addition, the huge size of the Web |means
it is almost (8 7 )______ to control and regulate. This has led to many
concerns regarding children (88)______ unsuitable websites. Yet perhaps the
biggest threat to IT in years to come will be the computer (8 9 )______ - more
sophisticated or more destructive strains are almost inevitable.

1 There are three different kinds o f bums:
first-degree, two-degree, and 2 third-degree bums. Each type o f bum s requires
a different type o f 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 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
11 bum it so deeply that the skin_tums white.-
These bum s usually result in direct 12 contact with flames and have a great
chance of becoming infected. All 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.

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. The (6 4 )______ also made use o f any foreign coins
they could obtain. D utch, Spanish, French, and English coins were all in use
in the American colonies.
D uring the Revolutionary War, funds were

Continental Congress issued paper money. So much o f this paper money was

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 w as in a state o f total disarray. To remedy this situation, the
new Constitution o f the United States,
approved in 1789, allowed the Congress to issue money. The individual states
could no longer have (69)______ own money supply. A few years later, the
Coinage Act o f 1792 made the dollar the (7 0 )______ currency o f the United
States and put the country on a bimetallic standard. In this bim etallic
system, both gold and silver were legal money, and the rate o f exchange o f silver to gold was fixed by the
government at sixteen to one.

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.
