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 from 30 to 34.

It's often said that we learn things at the wrong time. University students frequently do the minimum of work because they're crazy about a good social life instead. Children often scream before their piano practice because it's so boring. They have to be given gold stars and medals to be persuaded to swim, or have to be bribed to take exams. But the story is different when you're older.

Over the years, I've done my share of adult learning. At 30, I went to a college and did courses in History and English. It was an amazing experience. For starters, I was paying, so there was no reason to be late — I was the one frowning and drumming my fingers if the tutor was late, not the other way round. Indeed, if I could persuade him to linger for an extra five minutes, it was a bonus, not a nuisance. I wasn't

frightened to ask questions, and homework was a pleasure not a pain. When I passed an exam, I had passed it for me and me alone, not for my parents or my teachers. The satisfaction I got was entirely personal.

Some people fear going back to school because they worry that their brains have got rusty. But the joy is that, although some parts have rusted up, your brain has learnt all kinds of other things since you were young. It has learnt to think independently and flexibly and is much better at relating one thing to another. What you lose in the rust department, you gain in the maturity department.

In some ways, age is a positive plus. For instance, when you're older, you get less frustrated. Experience has told you that, if you're calm and simply do something carefully again and again, eventually you'll get the hang of it. The confidence you have in other areas — from being able to drive a car, perhaps — means that if you can't, say, build a chair instantly, you don't, like a child, want to destroy your first pathetic attempts. Maturity tells you that you will, with application, eventually get there.

I hated piano lessons at school, but I was good at music. And coming back to it, with a teacher who could explain why certain exercises were useful and with musical concepts that, at the age of ten, I could never grasp, was magical. Initially, I did feel a bit strange, thumping out a piece that I'd played for my school exams, with just as little comprehension of what the composer intended as I'd had all those years before. But soon, complex emotions that I never knew poured out from my fingers, and suddenly I could understand why practice makes perfect.

While doing some adult learning courses at a college, the writer was surprised _________. 

A. to get on better with the tutor 

B. to feel learning more enjoyable 

C. to have more time to learn 

D. to be able to learn more quickly

Chọn B 

Dịch bài đọc: 

Người ta thường nói rằng chúng ta học nhiều thứ không đúng lúc. Sinh viên đại học thường học ít nhất vì họ phát cuồng một cuộc sống xã hội sôi động thay vì học. Trẻ em thường la hét trước khi tập đàn piano vì nó rất nhàm chán. Chúng phải được trao sao vàng và huy chương để chịu bơi, hoặc phải hối lộ để làm bài kiểm tra. Nhưng câu chuyện sẽ khác khi bạn già đi. 

Trong những năm qua, tôi đã chia sẻ về việc học tập của người lớn. Lúc 30 tuổi, tôi đã đi học đại học và học về Lịch sử và tiếng Anh. Đó là một trải nghiệm tuyệt vời. Đối với người mới bắt đầu, tôi đã trả tiền, vì vậy không có lý do gì để đến trễ - tôi là người cau mày và gõ ngón tay nếu giáo viên đến trễ chứ không phải ngược lại. Quả thật, nếu tôi có thể thuyết phục anh ta nán lại thêm năm phút nữa, thì đó là một phần thưởng, không phải là một điều phiền toái. Tôi không sợ hãi khi đặt câu hỏi, và bài tập về nhà là một niềm vui không phải là một nỗi đau. Khi tôi vượt qua một kỳ thi, tôi đã vượt qua nó cho tôi và chỉ riêng tôi, chứ không phải cho cha mẹ hoặc giáo viên của mình. Sự hài lòng tôi nhận được là hoàn toàn cá nhân. 

Một số người sợ đi học trở lại vì họ lo lắng rằng bộ não của họ đã bị mai một. Nhưng niềm vui là, mặc dù một số phần đã bị mai một, bộ não của bạn đã học được tất cả các thứ khác từ khi bạn còn trẻ. Nó đã học cách suy nghĩ độc lập và linh hoạt và tốt hơn nhiều khi liên kết điều này với điều khác. Những gì bạn mất ở phần bị mai một, bạn sẽ lấy được ở phần trưởng thành. 

Nhìn ở cách khác, tuổi tác là một điểm cộng tích cực. Chẳng hạn, khi bạn già đi, bạn sẽ bớt bực bội hơn. Kinh nghiệm đã nói với bạn rằng, nếu bạn bình tĩnh và chỉ cần làm điều gì đó cẩn thận hết lần này đến lần khác, cuối cùng bạn sẽ làm được. Sự tự tin mà bạn có trong các lĩnh vực khác - từ việc có thể lái xe, có lẽ - có nghĩa là nếu bạn không thể, nói, làm ra một chiếc ghế ngay lập tức, bạn không muốn phá hủy những nỗ lực thất bại đầu tiên của bạn như một đứa trẻ. Sự trưởng thành cho bạn biết rằng bạn sẽ, với sự chăm chỉ, cuối cùng đạt được điều đó. 

Tôi ghét những bài học piano ở trường, nhưng tôi giỏi âm nhạc. Và trở lại với nó, với một giáo viên có thể giải thích tại sao một số bài tập nhất định lại hữu ích và với các khái niệm âm nhạc thật kỳ diệu mà ở tuổi lên mười, tôi không bao giờ có thể nắm bắt được. Ban đầu, tôi cảm thấy hơi kỳ lạ, chơi một tác phẩm mà tôi đã chơi cho kỳ thi ở trường, chỉ với một chút hiểu biết về ý định của nhà soạn nhạc như tôi đã có trong suốt những năm trước. Nhưng chẳng mấy chốc, những cảm xúc phức tạp mà tôi không bao giờ biết đã tuôn ra từ ngón tay của mình, và đột nhiên tôi có thể hiểu tại sao sự luyện tập tạo nên sự hoàn hảo.

In some ways, age is a positive plus. For instance, when you’re older, you get less frustrated. Experience has told you that, if you’re calm and simply do something carefully again and again, eventually you’ll get the hang of it. The confidence you have in other areas – from being able to drive a car, perhaps – means that if you can’t, say, build a chair instantly, you don’t, like a child, want to destroy your first pathetic attempts. Maturity tells you that you will, with application, eventually get there.

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 from 35 to 42.

It’s often said that we learn things at the wrong time. University students frequently do the minimum of work because they’re crazy about a good social life instead. Children often scream before their piano practice because it’s so boring. They have to be given gold stars and medals to be persuaded to swim, or have to be bribed to take exams. But the story is different when you’re older.

Over the years, I’ve done my share of adult learning. At 30, I went to a college and did courses in History and English. It was an amazing experience. For starters, I was paying, so there was no reason to be late – I was the one frowning and drumming my fingers if the tutor was late, not the other way round. Indeed, if I could persuade him to linger for an extra five minutes, it was a bonus, not a nuisance. I wasn’t frightened to ask questions, and homework was a pleasure not a pain. When I passed an exam, I had passed it for me and me alone, not for my parents or my teachers. The satisfaction I got was entirely personal.

Some people fear going back to school because they worry that their brains have got rusty. But the joy is that, although some parts have rusted up, your brain has learnt all kinds of other things since you were young. It has learnt to think independently and flexibly and is much better at relating one thing to another. What you lose in the rust department, you gain in the maturity department.

In some ways, age is a positive plus. For instance, when you’re older, you get less frustrated. Experience has told you that, if you’re calm and simply do something carefully again and again, eventually you’ll get the hang of it. The confidence you have in other areas – from being able to drive a car, perhaps – means that if you can’t, say, build a chair instantly, you don’t, like a child, want to destroy your first pathetic attempts. Maturity tells you that you will, with application, eventually get there.
