to each of the questions
MOBILE PHONES: Are they about to transform our lives?
We love them so much that some of us sleep with them under the pillow, yet we are increasingly concerned that we
cannot escape their electronic reach. We use them to convey our most intimate secrets, yet we worry that they are a
threat to our privacy. We rely on them more than the Internet to cope with modern life, yet many of us dont believe
advertisements saying we need more advanced services.
Sweeping aside the doubts that many people feel about the benefits of new third generations phones and fears over
the health effects of phone masts, a recent report claims that the long-term effects of new mobile technologies will be
entirely positive so long as the public can be convinced to make use of them. Research about users of mobile phones
reveals that the mobile has already moved beyond being a mere practical communications tool to become the backbone
of modern social life, from love affairs to friendship to work.
The close relationship between user and phone is most pronounced among teenagers, the report says, who regard
their mobiles as an expression of their identity. This is partly because mobiles are seen as being beyond the control of
parents. But the researchers suggest that another reason may be that mobiles, especially text messaging was seen as a
way of overcoming shyness. The impact of phones, however, has been local rather than global, supporting existing
friendship and networks, rather than opening users to a new broader community. Even the language of texting in one area
can be incomprehensible to anybody from another area.
Among the most important benefits of using mobiles phones, the report claims, will be a vastly improved mobile
infrastructure, providing gains throughout the economy, and the provision of a more sophisticated location-based services
for users. The report calls on government to put more effort into the delivery of services by mobile phone, with suggestion
including public transport and traffic information and doctors text messages to remind patients of appointments. There are
many possibilities. At a recent trade fair in Sweden, a mobile navigation product was launched. When the user enters a
destination, a route is automatically downloaded to their mobile and presented by voices, pictures and maps as they drive.
In future, these devices will also be able to plan around congestion and road works in real time. Third generation phones
will also allow for remote monitoring of patients by doctors. In Britain scientists are developing an asthma management
solution using mobiles to detect early signs of an attack.
Mobile phones can be used in education. A group of teachers in Britain use third generation phones to provide fast
internet service to children who live beyond the reach of terrestrial broadband services and can have no access to online
information. As the new generation of mobile technologies takes off, the social potential of the vastly increase, the report
argues.

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
Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a childs upbringing can give it the ability to do outstandingly
well. Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it is simply something a person is born with. Others,
however, argue that the potential for great achievement can be developed. The truth lies somewhere between these two
extremes.
It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase a childs ability to do well.
However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing and opportunities. As one psychologist says, To
have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel. Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement,
and ability in 50 sets of identical twins that were separated shortly after birth and brought up by different parents. They
found that achievement was based on intelligence, and later influenced by the childs environment.
One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted. One of the twins received a normal upbringing, and performed
well. The other twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportive parents and given every possible opportunity to

- THI TH I HC KHI D
TRANG 4/6 M THI 468

develop its abilities. That twin, though starting out with the same degree of intelligence as the other, performed even
better.
This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability. The more favorable the environment, the more a
childs intelligence and ability are developed. However, there is no link between intelligence and socioeconomic level of a
childs family. In other words, it does not matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect the intelligence.
Gifted people cannot be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them. One professor of music
said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than ordinary performers, often because their
parents had recognized their ability. These musicians then needed at least ten years hard work and training in order to
reach the level they were capable of attaining.
People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice:
+ Marry an intelligent person.
+ Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents.
+ Start a childs education early but avoid pushing the child too hard.
+ Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instrument is essential for a child who wants to
become an outstanding musician.
Question 61:
When scientists studied intelligence and ability in twins, they found that ______.
A. different twins generally have different levels of ability
B. ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement
C. intelligence and development are irrelevant to ability
D. ability depends both on intelligence and environment

Scientists chose twins for their study because ______.
A. they have the same genetic background, usually with similar intelligence
B. they are born into the same family, hence the same upbringing
C. they have the same economic background and hence the same opportunities
D. each twin has the same environment as his/ her twin
Question 63:
How were great musicians different from ordinary musicians in their development?
A. They practice playing their instruments for many years
B. They were exceptionally intelligent and artistic
C. They concentrated on music to the exclusion of other areas
D. Their ability was realized at an early stage and then nurtured .
