XI. 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 below. 
FAMILY LIFE IN THE UNITED STATES
Family life in the United States is changing.  Fifty or sixty years ago, the wife was called a “housewife”.  She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children.  The husband earned the money for the family.  He was usually out working all day.  He came home tired in the evening, so he did not do much housework.  And he did not see the children very much, except on weekends. 
These days, however, more and more women work outside the home.  They cannot stay with the children all day.  They, too, come home tired in the evening.  They do not want to spend the evening cooking dinner and cleaning up.  They do not have time to clean the house and do the laundry.  So who is going to do the housework now?  Who is going to take care of the children?
Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it.  In these families, the husband and wife agree to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job.  For example, the husband always cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry.  Or the wife cooks dinner on some nights and the husband cooks dinner on other nights.
Then there is the question of the children.  In the past, many families got help with child care from grandparents.  Now families usually do not live near their relatives.  The grandparents are often too far away to help in a regular way.  More often, parents have to pay for child care help.  The help may be a babysitter or a day-care center.  The problem with this kind of help is the high cost.  It is possible only for couples with jobs that pay well.
Parents may get another kind of help form the companies they work for.  Many companies now let people with children work part-time.  That way, parents can spend more time with their children.  Some husbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children.  For these men there is a new word: they are called “househusbands”.  In the USA more and more men are becoming househusbands every year.
These changes in the home mean changes in the family.  Fathers can learn to understand their children better, and the children can get to know their fathers better.  Husbands and wives may also find changes in their marriage.  They, too, may have a better understanding of each other.

XII. 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 below. 
Because writing has become so important in our culture, we sometimes think of it as more real than speech. A little thought, however, will show why speech is primary and writing secondary to language. Human beings have been writing (as far as we can tell from surviving evidence) for at least 5000 years; but they have been talking for much longer, doubtless ever since there have been human beings.
When writing did develop, it was derived from and represented speech, although imperfectly. Even today there are spoken languages that have no written form. Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before we learn to write; any human child who is not severely handicapped physically or mentally will learn to talk: a normal human being cannot be prevented from doing so. On the other hand, it takes a special effort to learn to write. In the past many intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and even today many who speak languages with writing systems never learn to read or write, while some who learn the rudiments of those skills do so only imperfectly.
To affirm the primacy of speech over writing is not, however, to disparage the latter. One advantage writing has over speech is that it is more permanent and makes possible the records that any civilization must have. Thus, if speaking makes us human, writing makes us civilized.
Câu 43: We sometimes think of writing as more real than speech because ______.
A. writing is secondary to language
B. human beings have been writing for at least 5000 years
C. it has become very important in our culture
D. people have been writing since there have been human beings
Câu 44: The author of the passage argues that ______.
A. speech is more basic to language than writing
B. writing has become too important in today’s society
C. everyone who learns to speak must learn to write
D. all languages should have a written form
Câu 45: According to the passage, writing ______.
A. is represented perfectly by speech                   	B. represents speech, but not perfectly
C. developed from imperfect speech                   	D. is imperfect, but less so than speech
Câu 46: Normal human beings ______.
A. learn to talk after learning to write                  	B. learn to write before learning to talk
C. learn to write and to talk at the same time      	D. learn to talk before learning to write
Câu 47: Learning to write is ______.
A. easy                           	B. too difficult          	C. not easy               	D. very easy
Câu 48: In order to show that learning to write requires effort, the author gives the example of ______.
A. people who learn the rudiments of speech      	B. severely handicapped children
C. intelligent people who couldn’t write             	D. people who speak many languages
Câu 49: In the author’s judgment, ______.
A. writing has more advantages than speech
B. writing is more real than speech
C. speech conveys ideas less accurately than writing does
D. speech is essential but writing has important benefits
Câu 50: The word “advantage” in the last paragraph most closely means ______.
