DỊCH DÙM HỘ CÁI :
+Human beings are designed in such a way that they are in constant need of love, care as well as affection during all times in their lives. This is the reason why we seek for companionship at each and every point in our life. We make friends and maintain a closely knit relationship with them because friends not only take away the feeling of void from your life; rather they also make us feel secure and accompanied as an individual.
+Friendship is considered to be a true blessing for everyone and a person with good friends will have a support system for sharing each and every moment of their life whether it is happy or sad. I have seen friendships going on for several years and sometimes even for a lifetime with people constantly taking care of each other and maintaining a bond based on trust and care.
+Especially for people living away from their homes, friends are nothing short of their family. Often known as “siblings from different mothers,” friends keep us grounded as well as also help us retain the child in us no matter how old we get or how busy we are in leading our professional as well as personal lives.
Dịch:
+ Con người được thiết kế theo cách mà họ luôn cần được yêu thương, chăm sóc cũng như tình cảm trong mọi thời điểm trong cuộc sống của họ. Đây là lý do tại sao chúng ta tìm kiếm sự đồng hành ở mọi thời điểm trong cuộc sống. Chúng tôi kết bạn và duy trì mối quan hệ gắn bó với họ bởi vì bạn bè không chỉ lấy đi cảm giác trống trải khỏi cuộc sống của bạn; thay vào đó, chúng cũng khiến chúng tôi cảm thấy an tâm và đồng hành với tư cách cá nhân.
+ Tình bạn được coi là điều may mắn thực sự dành cho tất cả mọi người và một người có những người bạn tốt sẽ có một hệ thống hỗ trợ để họ chia sẻ từng khoảnh khắc trong cuộc sống dù là vui hay buồn. Tôi đã thấy tình bạn diễn ra trong vài năm và đôi khi là suốt đời với việc mọi người liên tục chăm sóc lẫn nhau và duy trì mối quan hệ dựa trên sự tin tưởng và quan tâm.
+ Đặc biệt với những người xa quê, bạn bè không gì thiếu gia đình. Thường được gọi là “anh chị em cùng cha khác mẹ”, bạn bè giúp chúng ta có chỗ dựa cũng như giúp chúng ta giữ lại đứa trẻ trong mình bất kể chúng ta bao nhiêu tuổi hay bận rộn như thế nào trong công việc cũng như cuộc sống cá nhân.
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 following questions.
WHY DON’T YOU GET A PROPER JOB?
She wants to be a singer; you think she should go for a long–term career with job security and eventually retire with a good pension. But a new report suggests that in fact she’s the practical one. Why do parents make terrible careers advisers?
Today’s 14 and 15–year–olds are ambitious. They are optimistic about their prospects, but their career ideas are rather vague. Although 80% of them have no intention of following in their parents’ footsteps, 69% still turn to their parents for advice. They look at their working future in a different way to their parents.
A job for life is not in their vocabulary; neither is a dead–end but secure job that is boring but pays the bills. Almost half the boys surveyed expected that their hobbies would lead them into the right sort of job, while most girls seemed determined to avoid traditionally female careers such as nursing.
In the past, this might have counted as bad news. Certainly when I was 15, my guidance counsellors were horrified at my plans to become a writer. I’m glad I didn’t change my plans to suit them. Even so, their faith in rigid career paths was well–founded. In those days, that was the way to get ahead.
But the world has changed. The global economy is not kind to yesterday’s diligent and dependable worker. The future belongs to quick–thinking people who are resourceful, ambitious and can take the initiative. This means that a 14–year–old who sees her working future as a kind of adventure, to be made up as she goes along is not necessarily being unrealistic.
However, she has to have the training and guidance to help her develop the right skills for today’s market; not the rigid preparation for a workplace that disappeared twenty years ago. Many young people are very aware of the pitfalls of the flexible workplace; they understand that redundancy, downsizing and freelancing are all part of modern working life, but no one is telling them how they might be able to turn the new rules of the employment game to their advantage. This is what they need to know if they are to make a life for themselves.
So what is to be done? A good first step would be to change the way in which schools prepare young people for adult life. The education system is becoming less flexible and more obsessed with traditional skills at just the time that the employment market is going in the opposite direction.
Accurate, up–to–date information on new jobs and qualifications can help guidance counsellors to help their students. Young people need solid information on the sort of training they need to pursue the career of their dreams. Also, a little bit of encouragement can go a long way. If nothing else, a bit of optimism from an adult can serve as an antidote to the constant criticism of teenagers in the press.
What, then, can we as parents do to help them? The best thing is to forget all the advice that your parents gave you, and step into your teenager’s shoes. Once you’ve done that, it’s easier to see how important it is that they learn how to be independent, resourceful and resilient. Give them the courage to follow their dreams –however odd they might sound right now. In a world that offers economic security to almost no one, imagination is a terrible thing to waste.
The writer uses the phrase “aware of the pitfalls” to show that young people _______.
A. feel that modern jobs are too flexible
B. know about the problems of modern jobs
C. don’t think they get enough training
D. accept that they will be made redundant
Kiến thức: Đọc hiểu
Giải thích:
Tác giả sử dụng cụm từ “Nhận thức về những cạm bẫy”, để chỉ ra rằng những người trẻ tuổi ___.
A. cảm thấy rằng các công việc hiện đại quá linh hoạt
B. hiểu về các vấn đề của công việc hiện đại
C. không nghĩ rằng họ được đào tạo đầy đủ
D. chấp nhận rằng họ sẽ bị dư thừa

Tạm dịch: Nhiều bạn trẻ rất ý thức về những cạm bẫy của nơi làm việc linh hoạt; họ hiểu rằng sự dư thừa, cắt giảm nhân sự và làm việc tự do đều là một phần của cuộc sống làm việc hiện đại, nhưng không ai nói cho họ biết làm thế nào họ có thể biến các quy tắc mới của trò chơi tìm việc làm thành lợi thế của họ.
Chọn B
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer.
The medieval artists didn’t know about perspective; they didn’t want to make their people look like real, individual people in a real, individual scene. They wanted to show the truth, the eternal quality of their religious stories. So these artists didn’t need to know about perspective.
In the European Renaissance period, artists wanted to show the importance of the individual person and his or her possessions and surroundings. A flat medieval style couldn’t show this level of reality and the artists needed a new technique. It was the Italian artist Brunelleschi who discovered the technique of perspective drawing. At first the artists of the Renaissance only had single-point perspective. Later they realized that they could have two-pointed perspective and still later multi-point perspective.
With two-point perspective they could turn an object (like a building) at an angle to the picture and draw two sides of it. The technique of perspective which seems so natural to us now is an invented technique, a part of the “grammar of painting”. Like all bits of grammar there are exceptions about perspective. For example, only vertical and horizontal surfaces seem to meet on eye level. Sloping roof tops don’t meet on eye level.
For 500 years, artists in Europe made use of perspective drawing in their pictures. Nevertheless, there are a range of priorities that artists give in displaying individual styles. Crivelli wanted to show depth in his picture and he used a simple single-point perspective. Cezanne always talked about space and volume. Van Gogh, like some of the other painters of the Impressionist period, was interested in Japanese prints. And Japanese artists until this century were always very strong designers of “flat” pictures. Picasso certainly made pictures which have volume and depth. However, he wanted to keep our eyes on the surface and to remind us that his paintings are paintings and not illusions.
It is technically easy to give an illusion of depth. However, a strong two dimensional design is just as important as a feeling of depth, and perhaps more important.
According to the passage, which is the main concern for medieval artists?
A. the individual person and his/her possessions and surroundings
B. real people, real scenes
C. eternal truth of the earth
D. themes of religious stories
