Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

How to protect children Web fans from unsuitable material online while encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed in the US.

For some parents, the Internet can seem like a jungle, filled with danger for their children. But jungles contain wonders as well as hazard and with good guides, some education, and a few precautions, the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated. “Kids have to be online. If we tell our kids they can’t be allowed to surf the Internet, we’re cutting them off from their future,” said an expert. Most kids have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding tons of interesting Internet sites, and they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go. There are search engines designed just for kids. A certain software contains only sites that have been selected as safe. The most popular way would be to use what is known as a “content screener”. But this can’t be wholly reliable, and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know what is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Another way is that mum or dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Internet. A few other tips as follows:

Don’t put the PC in a child’s room but keep it in an area where mum or dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.

Ask your child what he or she has been doing and about any friends they make online.

Tell your child not to give online strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number.

And tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on line over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.

According to the passage, we can infer that _______.

A. Internet is a jungle full of danger

B. a child who is on-line is in danger

C. Internet contains a lot of harmful sites

D. soft wares fit for children want programming

Đáp án C

Theo như đoạn văn, chúng ta có thể suy ra rằng:
A. Internet là 1 khu rừng với đầy mối nguy hiểm.
B. Trẻ em lên mạng đang gặp nguy hiểm.
C. Mạng Internet chứa nhiều trang web có hại.
D. Các phần mềm phù hợp cho những trẻ muốn lập trình.
Dẫn chứng ở 2 câu đầu – đoạn 2: “For some parents, the Internet can seem like a jungle, filled with danger for their children. But jungles contain wonders as well as hazard”- (Đối với nhiều bậc cha mẹ, Internet có vẻ như là 1 khu rừng chứa đầy nguy hiểm đối với trẻ nhỏ. Nhưng khu rừng đó đồng thời chứa đựng cả những điều tuyệt vời cũng như là có hại).

himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.

If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can't find the way to get the right answer. Let's end all this nonsense of grades, exams, and marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.

Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one's life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say, "But suppose they fail to learn something essential, some­thing they will need to get on in the world?" Don't worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it.

Question 50: The author fears that children will grow up into adults who are __________.

A. unable to think for themselves

A. Không thể tự suy nghĩ

B. Quá phụ thuộc vào người khác

C. Không thể sử dụng những kĩ năng cơ bản

D. Qua khắt khe với bản thân

Giải thích: Tác giả phê bình việc chỉ ra lỗi sai của trẻ và sửa nó giúp trẻ. Như vậy có thể suy ra là nếu cứ tiếp tục như vậy thì khi lớn lên, không ai chỉ cho, nó sẽ không thể độc lập suy nghĩ. Dễ nhầm lẫn với B nhưng phương án B chỉ đúng khi còn nhỏ, nó phụ thuộc vào thầy cô và cha mẹ để giúp nó, còn khi trưởng thành thì kết quả là nó không suy nghĩ được, đáp án A.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question.

Most parents want their sons and daughters to have equal chances of success when they grow up. Today, equality of the sexes is largely mandated by public policy and law. However, old-fashioned ideas and a lot of prejudice are still part of our culture and present challenging questions for parents.

Gender stereotypes are rigid ideas about how boys and girls should behave. We all know what these stereotypes are: A "feminine" girls should be insecure, accommodating and a little illogical in her thinking. A "masculine" boy should be strong, unemotional, aggressive, and competitive. How are children exposed to these stereotypes? According to the researchers David and Myra Sadker of the American University of Washington, D.C., boys and girls are often treated differently in the classroom. They found out that when boys speak, teachers usually offer constructive comments, when girls speech, teachers tend to focus on the behavior. It's more important how the girls act rather than what they say.

The emphasis on differences begins at birth and continues throughout childhood. For example, few people would give pink baby's clothes to a boy or a blue blanket to a girl. Later, many of us give girls dolls and miniature kitchenware, while boys receive action figures and construction sets. There's nothing wrong with that. The problem arises when certain activities are deemed appropriate for one sex but not the other. According to Heather J. Nicholson, Ph.D., director of the National Resource Center for Girls, Inc., this kind of practice prevents boys and girls from acquiring important skills for their future lives.

"The fact is," says Nicholson, "that society functions as a kind of sorting machine regarding gender. In a recent survey, fifty-eight percent of eighth-grade girls but only six percent of boys earned money caring for younger children. On the other hand, twenty-seven percent of boys but only three percent of girls earned money doing lawn work". If we are serious about educating a generation to be good workers and parents, we need to eliminate such stereotypes as those mentioned previously.

Gender stereotypes inevitably are passed to our children. However, by becoming aware of the messages our children receive, we can help them develop ways to overcome these incorrect ideas. To counteract these ideas, parents can look for ways to challenge and support their children, and to encourage confidence in ways that go beyond what society's fixed ideas about differences of sext are.

What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Parents are able to help reduce the influence of gender stereotypes on their children.

B. Teachers and parents have to join hands to encourage children's confidence in social activities.

C. Society functions often categorize jobs regardless genders.

D. The problems males and females get when they are adults may originate from gender stereotypes.

Từ “that” trong đoạn 3 để cập đến điều gì?

A. Sự khác biệt giữa con trai và con gái bắt đầu lúc mới sinh và tiếp tục xuyên suốt thời thơ ấu.

B. Mọi người thường tặng quần áo màu hồng cho bé trai và chăn màu xanh cho bé gái.

C. Nhiều người tặng bé gái búp bê và đồ làm bếp thu nhỏ và bé trai được nhận nhân vật hoạt hình và đồ chơi xây dựng khi chúng mới sinh ra.

D. Mọi người tặng các đứa trẻ có giới tính khác nhau các loại quà tặng hay quần áo khác nhau.

Căn cứ thông tin đoạn 3:

“The emphasis on differences begins at birth and continues throughout childhood. For example, few people would give pink baby’s clothes to a boy or a blue blanket to a girl. Later, many of us give girls dolls and miniature kitchenware, while boys receive action figures and construction sets. There's nothing wrong with that.”

(Sự khác biệt được nhấn mạnh từ khi trẻ mới sinh ra và tiếp diễn xuyên suốt thời thơ ấu. Ví dụ, ít ai lại tặng quần áo sơ sinh màu hồng cho bé trai hay chăn màu xanh dương cho bé gái. Sau này, nhiều người trong chúng ta tặng bé gái búp bê và đồ làm bếp thu nhỏ, trong khi bé trai được nhận nhân vật hoạt hình và đồ chơi xây dựng. Điều đó không có gì là sai cả).

Như vậy, “that” ở đây là việc mọi người tặng một số món quà khác nhau cho trẻ tùy theo giới tính của chúng.
