But perhaps this kind of intuition isn’t as hard to explain as it may seem. For instance, people give out body language signal all the time. The way you hold your body, head and arms tells people about your mood. If you hold your arms tightly at your sides, or fold them across your chest, people will generally feel that you are being defensive. Holding your head to one side shows interest in the others, while an easy, open posture indicates that you are self-confident. All this affects the way you feel about someone. Also, a stranger may remind you of a meeting with someone. This may be because of something as simple as the fact that he or she is physically similar to someone who treated you well or badly. Your feeling about a stranger could be influenced by a smell in the air that brings to mind a place where you were happy as a child. Since even a single word can bring back a memory such as that, you may never realize it is happening. 46. What does the word “open” in the passage most closely mean? A. unrestrained B. relaxed C. confined D. unlimited 47. What influences your impression of a person you meet the first time? A. intuition B. familiarity C. knowledge D. feeling 48.

A. strengthens one’s past behaviours B. reminds one of one’s past treatment C. revives one’s past memories D. points to one’s childhoods 49. What does the second paragraph discuss? A. Meanings of signal some implies towards a stranger. B. Factors that may influence one’s feelings about a stranger. C. How people usually behave to a stranger. D. Factors that cause people to act differently. 50. Intuition described in the passage can be explained by means of ........................ A. styles B. languages C. patterns D. behaviours Đọc kỹ đoạn văn sau và chọn phương án đúng ( A hoặc B, C, D) cho mỗi câu từ câu 51 đến câu 55: Upon the creation of the United State, one of the core concepts on which the hopes for the new democracy were pinned was the ideal that its citizens would be enlightened individuals with clearly articulated rights and the opportunity for individual achievement and education. It was believed that in a free nation where the power belongs to the people, the commitment to education defines the progress of that democracy and is the catalyst for future progress. This core value has not only stood the test of time but has also grown in importance. In this new Information Era and international economy, education is an increasingly vital commodity, a precursor of potential success and a driving force of chance. It is importance to recognize, however, that we approach education today differently than in the past, partly because the kinds of jobs people had didn’t require the kind of basic education and specialized training that is often required in the workforce today. In the 1950s, for instance, only 20 percent of American jobs were classified as professional, 20 percent as skilled; and 60 percent as unskilled. Today, our world has changed. The proportion of unskilled jobs has fallen to 20 percent, while jobs now account for at least 60 percent of the workforce. Even more important, almost every job today increasingly requires a combination of academic knowledge and practical skills that require learning throughout a lifetime. 51. Education is defined in this passage as a driving force of chance because ........................ A. without education, no changes could have happened in American society so far. B. the government of the United States wants to drive social changes in their own ways. C. education has helped to bring about and orient most changes in the American workforce. D. any American citizen who wants to changes his driving licence must be very well-educated. 52. The passage shows the percentage of jobs that require higher training in the US ........................ between 1950s and now. A. has remained the same B. has changed dramatically C. has been reversed D. has changed slightly 53. The phrase “enlightened individuals” in the first sentence most likely means “people who........” A. always appear brilliant-looking in public B. have often been well-exposed to light C. have acquired an adequate level of education D. bring light to anywhere they go 54. In order to become a good American citizen today, in the author’s point of view, any individual must ... A. know well all his/her rights and be ready to grasp his/her opportunity of success in life B. study carefully the history of American educational and vocational systems even since their creation C. understand thoroughly the combination of academic knowledge and practical skills D. move actively forward in the new Information Era and international economy with a prestigious diploma 55. Which of the following titles would be best for the passage? A. Education and Jobs in the Past and at Present in the United States. B. The Significant Role of Education in American Citizens’ Careers C. Academic Knowledge and Practical Skills in American Professions D. Recent Changes of Educational and Vocational Systems in America Chọn phương án (A hoặc B, C, D) ứng với từ/cụm từ có gạch chân cần phải sửa trong các câu sau: 56.
