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.

Times are tough. The nightly news is filled with stories of people who have lost their jobs due to the economic crisis, or lost their homes in a fire or natural disaster. Have you ever seen people who have just endured an awful situation? Some focus on what they have lost, and this is easy to understand. But other people focus on what they did not lose, and they start thinking about a better future.

One good piece of advice to remember is that you cannot always control situations or other people. The only thing you can control is your own personal reaction to bad situations. Sometimes a situation may really be overwhelming. However, in many cases, you really can influence our own moods by the way you think about negative situations.

Imagine two families: Both have lost their homes and all their belongings in a devastating storm. One family cannot mask their grief. They feel that everything they hold dear has been destroyed. They cannot imagine how they will ever be able to replace things and start over again. Their normal life seems to have been completely lost. In contrast, a second family is crying with joy. All of the people in their family are unharmed and safe. This family is just happy that everyone has survived. This family is already trying to figure out how they can recover. You can’t really blame the first family for experiencing a very normal reaction to a terrible situation. However, the second family certainly seems to be better off. They are thinking about making progress rather than focusing on the tragic events.

Though this scenario is extreme, everyone experiences setbacks that seem just awful at the time. This could be a job loss, illness, or problems with family members. Nobody gets through life without having some bad things happen. In these situations, try to focus on the steps you can take to remedy the situation, instead of how awful the setback is. By doing this, you will be laying the foundation for a better tomorrow. And you will not suffer as much pain today.

Actually, controlling how you feel and trying to maintain a positive attitude can help you through many tough situations. The bottom line is, no matter what the problem is, you are more likely to fix it if you can stay positive and work out a plan. Also, never be afraid to seek help when you need it. The advice of a friend, family member, or even a professional may be all it takes to get back on track.

It may sound like a cliché. While a positive attitude may not be the answer to every problem, it can certainly give you an advantage in surviving most of life’s minor setbacks.

Đáp án D

Có thể suy ra từ đoạn 3 rằng     .

Sự thất vọng và nỗi buồn là cảm xúc chung của tất cả mọi người trong hoàn cảnh khó khăn.

Thái độ của bạn trong các hoàn cảnh khó khăn thì quan trọng hơn là việc vấn đề đó nghiêm trọng đến mức nào.

Người lạc quan thường ít gặp phải các hoàn cảnh khó khăn hơn người bi quan.

Thái độ của bạn sẽ quyết định cách bạn phản ứng lại các hoàn cảnh khó khăn.

Căn cứ thông tin đoạn 3:

Imagine two families: Both have lost their homes and all their belongings in a devastating storm. One family cannot mask their grief. They feel that everything they hold dear has been destroyed. They cannot imagine how they will ever be able to replace things and start over again. Their normal life seems to have been completely lost. In contrast, a second family is crying with joy. All of the people in their family are unharmed and safe. This family is just happy that everyone has survived. This family is already trying to figure out how they can recover. You can’t really blame the first family for experiencing a very normal reaction to a terrible situation. However, the second family certainly seems to be better off. They are thinking about making progress rather than focusing on the tragic events.

(Hãy tưởng tượng có 2 gia đình: Cả 2 gia đình đều mất nhà và toàn bộ của cải trong trận bão kinh hoàng. Một gia đình không thể che giấu nỗi buồn của họ. Họ cảm thấy rằng mọi thứ họ có đã bị phá hủy hoàn toàn. Họ không thế tưởng tượng họ có thể thay thế những thứ đã mất đi và làm lại như thế nào. Cuộc sống bình thường của họ dường như đã biến mất hoàn toàn. Ngược lại, gia đình thứ 2 lại reo hò trong niềm sung sướng. Tất cả mọi người trong gia đình của họ không bị thương và rất an toàn. Gia đình này cảm thấy hạnh phúc vì mọi người đều sống sót. Gia đình này đang cố gắng tìm ra cách để vượt qua. Bạn không thể trách gia đình số 1 vì đã phản ứng theo cách rất thông thường trước hoàn cảnh khó khăn. Tuy nhiên, gia đình thứ 2 chắc chắn có vẻ tốt hơn. Họ đang suy nghĩ về việc làm sao để cải thiện tình  hình chứ không tập trung vào thảm kịch).

Từ đoạn văn này có thể thấy rằng: Mỗi gia đình có 1 thái độ khác nhau trước hoàn cảnh khó khăn, và thái độ của họ sẽ quyết định cách họ đối mặt với khó khăn như thế nào.

Câu nào trong các câu sau đây có thể là ý chính của đoạn văn?

Lạc quan là một cách rất hiệu quả để vượt qua các hoàn cảnh khó khăn.

Giữ suy nghĩ tích cực hay tiêu cực là lựa chọn riêng của mỗi người.

Suy nghĩ tích cực là điều kiện cần thiết để thành công.

Dường như là có nhiều người bi quan hơn lạc quan.

Căn cứ vào thông tin đoạn đầu và đoạn cuối:

Have you ever seen people who have just endured an awful situation? Some focus on what they have lost, and this is easy to understand. But other people focus on what they did not lose, and they start thinking about a better future. (Bạn đã từng thấy những người phải trải qua một tình huống tồi tệ? Vài người chỉ chăm chú vào những gì họ đã mất, và điều này cũng dễ hiểu. Nhưng những người khác chỉ tập trung vào những điều họ chưa mất, và họ bắt đầu nghĩ về 1 tương lai tốt hơn).

It may sound like a cliché. While a positive attitude may not be the answer to every problem, it can certainly give you an advantage in surviving most of life’s minor setbacks. (Nó nghe như 1 câu sáo rỗng. Mặc dù thái độ tích cực không phải là chìa khóa cho mọi vấn đề, nhưng nó chắc chắn sẽ cho bạn cơ hội vượt qua mọi khó khăn nhỏ trong cuộc sống).

Dear Thomas,

Are you and your family find? I know that you are doing a project at school about crimes and you want to get information from my country. I hope this letter can help you anyway.

Nowadays, we can easily notice that crimes are increasing and may not decrease, I think this condition is a big problem in my country.

As you can see there are many kinds of criminal in many crimes, and unfortunately criminals can causing trouble such as stealing money from banks or residents and destroying substance and even killing innocent people and we all can realize that killers are the most dangerous but luckily thieves are the most common.

Afterwards, I think we should reduce crimes by many activities. First of all, each person should be good and call upon everyone to be moral. Second, we should also advise criminals whom we know to be back to right. And so many another works can reduce this problem.

That's all about crimes in my country. What about yours? Wish you would get good grades for this project and don't forget to write for me.

Love,

Mai.

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.

Times are tough. The nightly news is filled with stories of people who have lost their jobs due to the economic crisis, or lost their homes in a fire or natural disaster. Have you ever seen people who have just endured an awful situation? Some focus on what they have lost, and this is easy to understand. But other people focus on what they did not lose, and they start thinking about a better future.

One good piece of advice to remember is that you cannot always control situations or other people. The only thing you can control is your own personal reaction to bad situations. Sometimes a situation may really be overwhelming. However, in many cases, you really can influence our own moods by the way you think about negative situations.

Imagine two families: Both have lost their homes and all their belongings in a devastating storm. One family cannot mask their grief. They feel that everything they hold dear has been destroyed. They cannot imagine how they will ever be able to replace things and start over again. Their normal life seems to have been completely lost. In contrast, a second family is crying with joy. All of the people in their family are unharmed and safe. This family is just happy that everyone has survived. This family is already trying to figure out how they can recover. You can’t really blame the first family for experiencing a very normal reaction to a terrible situation. However, the second family certainly seems to be better off. They are thinking about making progress rather than focusing on the tragic events.

Though this scenario is extreme, everyone experiences setbacks that seem just awful at the time. This could be a job loss, illness, or problems with family members. Nobody gets through life without having some bad things happen. In these situations, try to focus on the steps you can take to remedy the situation, instead of how awful the setback is. By doing this, you will be laying the foundation for a better tomorrow. And you will not suffer as much pain today.

Actually, controlling how you feel and trying to maintain a positive attitude can help you through many tough situations. The bottom line is, no matter what the problem is, you are more likely to fix it if you can stay positive and work out a plan. Also, never be afraid to seek help when you need it. The advice of a friend, family member, or even a professional may be all it takes to get back on track.

It may sound like a cliché. While a positive attitude may not be the answer to every problem, it can certainly give you an advantage in surviving most of life’s minor setbacks.
