VIII. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct option marked A, B, C or D to answer the questions.
They called New York “the Big Apple”. Maybe it is not exactly like an apple, it’s certainly very big. There are too many people, that’s the problem. The streets are always full of cars and trucks, you can never find a place to park.
If you have enough money, you can take a taxi. New York cabs are yellow. They look all the same. But the drivers are very different. Some were born and raised in New York, but many are newcomers to the United States. A few drive slowly, but most go very fast. Cab driving is a difficult job. It can be dangerous, too. Thieves often try to steal the drivers’ money. Drivers sometimes get hurt.
If you don’t want to take a taxi, you can go by bus or you can take the subway. The subway is quick and it’s cheap, but parts of it are old and dirty. Lights don’t always work and there is often fire on the track. On some subway lines, there are new, clean, silver trains. But you can’t see the color of the old trains easily. There is too much dirt and too many graffiti, inside and outside.

Have you ever followed instructions for knitting something or have you read a piece of music? If you have, you have behaved in a similar way to a computer. A computer obeys a program to carry out a particular task.

Một trường đại học mới mà không có thư viện gần đây đã được mở ở Mỹ. Tất cả các thông tin thường tìm thấy trong thư viện bây giờ được lưu trữ trong các máy tính của trường đại học. Không để máy tính của họ, người dùng có thể gửi tin nhắn và nhận thông tin qua đường dây điện thoại. Tuy nhiên, điều này có nghĩa là mỗi học sinh phải có quyền truy cập vào một máy tính, và nhiều trường đại học đang làm cho một yêu cầu này cho sinh viên năm nhất. Các trường đại học bây giờ có các lỗ cắm máy tính trong mọi phần của trường đại học. Nghiên cứu không còn giới hạn ở một địa điểm.
Bảng thông báo bằng máy tính được sử dụng giống như các bảng truyền thống trong các trường học và cao đẳng. Sự khác biệt là hơn 20 triệu người có thể truy cập vào họ. Nếu học sinh muốn thảo luận về toán vào lúc 3 giờ sáng, thì đó không phải là vấn đề. Họ đăng tin nhắn trên bảng tin và tìm những người khác muốn thảo luận về cùng một chủ đề.
Công nghệ bây giờ có nghĩa là sinh viên có thể có được một văn bằng mà không có trong khuôn viên trường. Có nhiều người hoài nghi về phương pháp giáo dục mới này, nhưng mối quan tâm của họ ít có tác động
