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.
If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a disaster. According to several
leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only
too aware of what his parents expect, and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children.
However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are ambitious in a sensible way,
the child may succeed in doing very well – especially if the parents are very supportive of their child.
Michael Collins is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and
arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Michael’s
mother knows very little about music, but his father plays the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter
music competitions if he is unwilling.
Winston Smith, Michael’s friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful musicians, and they set too high a
standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him for every piano competition held. They
are very unhappy when he does not win. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet
and unhappy.
Câu 36: One of the serious mistakes parents can make is to ______.
A. push their child into trying too much B. help their child to become a genius
C. make their child become a musician D. neglect their child’s education

A. force their children into achieving success B. themselves have been very successful

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.
A pilot cannot fly by sight alone. In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing in dense fog, a pilot must use radar,
an alternative way of navigating. Since human eyes are not very good at determining speeds of approaching objects, radar can show a
pilot how fast nearby planes are moving. The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what happens when one shouts in a cave. The
echo of the sounds against the walls helps a person determine the size of the cave. With radar, however, the waves are radio waves
instead of sound waves. Radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 300,000 kilometers in one second. A radar set sends out a short
burst of radio waves. Then it receives the echoes produced when the waves bounce off objects. By determining the time it takes for the
echoes to return to the radar set, a trained technician can determine the distance between the radar set and other objects. The word
“radar”, in fact, gets its name from the term “radio detection and ranging”. Ranging” is the term for detection of the distance between
an object and the radar set. Besides being of critical importance to pilots, radar is essential for air traffic control, tracking ships at sea,
and for tracking weather systems and storms.

A. The nature of radar. B. History of radar. C. Alternatives to radar. D. Types of ranging.

Câu 51: According to the passage, the distance between a radar set and an object can be determined by____
A. the time it takes for a burst of radio waves to produce echoes when the waves bounce off the object
B. the term “ranging” used for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set
C. the time it takes for the radio waves to produce echoes and bounce off the object
