170251 Read the following passage and choose A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the 
questions. 
If we believe that clothing has to do with covering the body, and costume with the choice of a particular form 
of garment for a particular use, then we can say that clothing depend primarily on such physical conditions as 
climate, health, and textile manufacture, whereas costume reflect social factors such as religious beliefs, 
aesthetics, personal status, and the wish to be distinguished from or to emulate our fellows. 
The ancient Greeks and the Chinese believed that we first covered our bodies for some physical reason such as 
protecting ourselves from the weather elements. Ethnologists and psychologists have invoked psychological 
reasons: modesty in the case of ancients, and taboo, magical influence and the desire to please for the moderns. 
In early history, costume must have fulfilled a function beyond that of simple utility, perhaps through some 
magical significance, investing primitive man with the attributes of other creatures. Ornaments identified the 
wearer with animals, gods, heroes or other men. This identification remains symbolic in more sophisticated 
societies. We should bear in mind that the theater has its distant origins in sacred performances, and in all 
period children at play have worn disguises, so as to adapt gradually to adult life. 
Costume helped inspire fear or impose authority. For a chieftain, costume embodied attributes expressing his 
power, while a warrior’s costume enhanced his physical superiority and suggested he was superhuman. In 
more recent times, professional or administrative costume has been devised to distinguish the wearer and 
express personal or delegated authority; this purpose is seen clearly in the judge’s robes and the police 
officer’s uniform. Costume denotes power, and since power is usually equated with wealth, costume came to 
be an expression of social caste and material prosperity. Military uniform denotes rank and is intended to 
intimidate, to protect the body and to express membership in a group. At the bottom of the scale, there are 
such compulsory costumes as the convict’s uniform. Finally, costume can possess a religious significance that 
combines various elements: an actual or symbolic identification with a god, the desire to express this in earthly 
life, and the desire to enhance the wearer’s position of respect. 
Câu 10: Psychological reasons for wearing garments include 
A. protection from cold B. availability of materials 
C. prevention of illness D. wishing to give pleasure 
Câu 11: Why does the author mention the police officer’s uniform? 
A. To illustrate the aesthetic function of costume 
B. To identify the wearer with a hero 
C. To suggest that police are superhuman 
D. To show how costume signifies authority 
Câu 12: The passage mainly discusses costumes in term of its 
A.physical protection B. religious significance 
C. social function D. beauty and attractiveness

A survey is a study, generally in the form of an interview or a questionnaire, that provides information 
concerning how people think and act. In the United States, the best-known surveys are the Gallup poll and the 
Harris poll. As anyone who watches the news during presidential campaigns knows these polls have become an 
important part of political life in the United States. 
North Americans are familiar with the many "person on the street" interviews on local television news shows. 
While such interviews can be highly entertaining, they are not necessarily an accurate indication of public 
opinion. First, they reflect the opinions of only those people who appear at a certain location. Thus, such 
samples can be biased in favorof commuters, middle-class shoppers, or factory workers, depending on which 
area the newspeople select. Second, television interviews tend to attract outgoing people who are willing to 
appear on the air, while they frighten away others who may feel intimidated by a camera. A survey must be 
based on a precise, representative sampling if it is to genuinely reflect a broad range of the population. 
In preparing to conduct a survey, sociologists must exercise great care in the wording of questions. An effective 
survey question must be simple and clear enough for people to understand it. It must also be specific enough so 
that there are no problems in interpreting the results. Even questions that are less structured must be carefully 
phrased in order to elicit the type of information desired. Surveys can be indispensable sources of information, 
but only if the sampling is done properly and the questions are worded accurately. 
There are two main forms of surveys: the interview and the questionnaire. Each of these forms of survey 
research has its advantages. An interviewer can obtain a high response rate because people find it more difficult 
to turn down a personal request for an interview than to throw away a written questionnaire. In addition, an 
interviewer can go beyond written questions and probe for a subject's underlying feelings and reasons. 
However, questionnaires have the advantage of being cheaper and more consistent. 
Câu 40: According to the passage, the main disadvantage of person-on-the-street interviews is that they 
A. are not based on a representative sampling B. are used only on television 
C. are not carefully worded D. reflect political opinions 
Câu 41: It can be inferred from the passage that one reason that sociologists may become frustrated with 
questionnaires is that 
A. respondents often do not complete and return questionnaires 
B. questionnaires are often difficult to read 
C. questionnaires are expensive and difficult to distribute 
D. respondents are too eager to supplement questions with their own opinions 
Câu 42: According to paragraph 3, which of the following is most important for an effective survey? 
A. A high number of respondents 
B. Carefully worded questions 
C. An interviewer's ability to measure respondents' feelings 
D. A sociologist who is able to interpret the results 
Câu 43: The word "elicit" in line 18 is closest in meaning to 
A. compose B. rule out C. predict D. bring out 
Câu 44: What does the passage mainly discuss? 
A. The history of surveys in North America B. The principles of conducting surveys
