Most parents want their sons and daughters to have equal chances of success when they grow up. Today, equality of the sexes is largely mandated by public policy and law. However, old-fashioned ideas and a lot of prejudice are still part of our culture and present challenging questions for parents.

Gender stereotypes are rigid ideas about how boys and girls should behave. We all know what these stereotypes are: A "feminine" girls should be insecure, accommodating and a little illogical in her thinking. A "masculine" boy should be strong, unemotional, aggressive, and competitive. How are children exposed to these stereotypes? According to the researchers David and Myra Sadker of the American University of Washington, D.C., boys and girls are often treated differently in the classroom. They found out that when boys speak, teachers usually offer constructive comments, when girls speech, teachers tend to focus on the behavior. It's more important how the girls act rather than what they say.

The emphasis on differences begins at birth and continues throughout childhood. For example, few people would give pink baby's clothes to a boy or a blue blanket to a girl. Later, many of us give girls dolls and miniature kitchenware, while boys receive action figures and construction sets. There's nothing wrong with that. The problem arises when certain activities are deemed appropriate for one sex but not the other. According to Heather J. Nicholson, Ph.D., director of the National Resource Center for Girls, Inc., this kind of practice prevents boys and girls from acquiring important skills for their future lives.

"The fact is," says Nicholson, "that society functions as a kind of sorting machine regarding gender. In a recent survey, fifty-eight percent of eighth-grade girls but only six percent of boys earned money caring for younger children. On the other hand, twenty-seven percent of boys but only three percent of girls earned money doing lawn work". If we are serious about educating a generation to be good workers and parents, we need to eliminate such stereotypes as those mentioned previously.

Gender stereotypes inevitably are passed to our children. However, by becoming aware of the messages our children receive, we can help them develop ways to overcome these incorrect ideas. To counteract these ideas, parents can look for ways to challenge and support their children, and to encourage confidence in ways that go beyond what society's fixed ideas about differences of sext are.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

TAKING A WORKING HOLIDAY

            One of the more difficult things young people face when they want to travel is the lack of funds. During summer holidays and possibly at weekends, they are able to take on part-time jobs, but the money they make is just a drop in the bucket of what they need to travel far away. For example, traveling to Australia from Vietnam can be quite expensive just for an airline ticket, and to a lot of students wanting to travel, it can seem out of reach.

            For students wanting to travel to Australia and New Zealand in particular, however, they are in luck. Although many countries offer working holidays, these two countries are well-known for offering them. When a young person signs up to get a working holiday visa, he only pays for the round-trip airfare to get to either place and only needs to carry some extra cash for incidentals. Once he is there, a job awaits where he can earn some money.

            Many of the jobs require little or no experience, such as picking fruit or working in a busy pub out in the countryside. Some of the jobs require more experience that most people are unlikely to have, such as being a certified welder to work for eight weeks on a farm. That shouldn’t discourage you, though, because there is always something to be found if you search hard enough.

            There are many websites that advertise working holidays in Australia and New Zealand. If you have the courage and are looking for a way to make a little money and see the world, it might be just the ticket you were looking for.

      1.   Where can people find working holidays advertised?

            A. On the Internet                                        B. In magazines

            C. On the radio                                             D. In travel guidebooks

      2.   What can seem out of reach for young people?

            A. Being able to get time off from schoolB. Being able to earn money

            C. Being able to find a part-time job          D. Being able to travel

      3.   Why would a student NOT want to take a working holiday?

            A. To show how fearful he is                      B. To earn money

            C. To see the world                                      D. To visit a new place

      4.   Which students are in luck according to the passage?

            A. The ones who have airline tickets

            B. The ones who are on holiday

            C. The ones who want to go to Australia and New Zealand

            D. The ones who want have part-time jobs

      5.   According to the passage, which statement is true?

            A. People on working holidays must be from Australia or New Zealand

            B. A young person needs a special visa to go on a working holiday

            C. Some working holidays are not paid.

            D. Picking fruit is the only job available for young people on working holidays

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 from 28 to 34.

Who talks more - men or women? Most people believe that women talk more. However, linguist Deborah Tannen, who has the studied the communication style of men and women, says that this is a stereotype. According to Tannen, women are more verbal - talk more - in private situations, where they use conversation as the “glue’ to hold relationships together. But, she says, men talk more in public situations, where they use conversation to exchange information and gain status. Tannen points out that we can see these difference even in children. Little girls often play with one ‘best friend’ and their play includes a lot of conversation. Little boys often play games in groups, their play usually involves more doing than talking. In school, girls are often better at verbal skills, while boys are often better at mathematics.

A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference. Researchers studied conversation between children aged 3-6 and their parents. They found evidence that parents talk very differently to their sons than they do to their daughters. The startling conclusion was that parents use more language with their girls. Specifically, when parents talk with their daughters, they use more descriptive language and more details. There is also far more talk about emotionsespecially with daughters than with sons.

Which of the following statement is TRUE about the passage?

A. Parents give more love to their daughters than to their sons

B. Boys don’t like to be with their parents as much as girls do.

C. Parents use more language to talk with their daughters

D. Boys don’t like showing emotions

Dịch bài

          Ai nói nhiều hơn- đàn ông hay phụ nữ? Hầu hết mọi người tin rằng phụ nữ nói nhiều hơn. Tuy nhiên, nhà ngôn ngữ học Deborah Tannen, người mà nghiên cứu về phong cách giao tiếp của đàn ông và phụ nữ, nói rằng đó là một sự dập khuôn. Theo Tannen, phụ nữ nhiều lời hơn- nói nhiều hơn- trong những tình huống riêng tư, nơi mà họ sử dụng các cuộc trò chuyện như một “chất keo” để gắn chặt các mối quan hệ với nhau. Nhưng, cô ấy nói, đàn ông nói nhiều hơn ở những tình huống công cộng, khi họ dùng đoạn đối thoại để trao đổi thông tin và tạo địa vị. Tannen chỉ ra rằng chúng ta có thể nhìn thấy sự khác biệt này thậm chí ở trẻ em. Những bé gái thường chơi với một “người bạn tốt nhất "và việc chơi của chúng bao gồm rất nhiều chuyện. Bé trai thường xuyên chơi trò chơi theo nhóm,việc chơi của chúng thường liên quan đến làm nhiều hơn nói. Ở trường, con gái thường tốt hơn ở những kĩ năng nói, trong khi con trai lại giỏi hơn ở toán học.

Một nghiên cứu gần đây tại Đại học Emory giúp làm sáng tỏ nguồn gốc của sự khác biệt này. Các nhà nghiên cứu đã nghiên cứu đối thoại giữa trẻ em ở độ tuổi 3-6 và cha mẹ của họ. Họ tìm thấy bằng chứng rằng cha mẹ nói chuyện thờ ơ với con trai hơn là với con gái. Kết luận đáng ngạc nhiên là cha mẹ sử dụng ngôn ngữ nhiều hơn với con gái. Kết luận đáng ngạc nhiên là cha mẹ sử dụng ngôn ngữ nhiều hơn với con gái. Cụ thể, khi cha mẹ nói chuyện với con gái của họ, họ sử dụng ngôn ngữ mô tả nhiều hơn và chi tiết hơn. Ngoài ra còn có nhiều cuộc nói chuyện về cảm xúc, đặc biệt là với con gái so với con trai.

Most parents want their sons and daughters to have equal chances of success when they grow up. Today, equality of the sexes is largely mandated by public policy and law. However, old-fashioned ideas and a lot of prejudice are still part of our culture and present challenging questions for parents.

Gender stereotypes are rigid ideas about how boys and girls should behave. We all know what these stereotypes are: A "feminine" girls should be insecure, accommodating and a little illogical in her thinking. A "masculine" boy should be strong, unemotional, aggressive, and competitive. How are children exposed to these stereotypes? According to the researchers David and Myra Sadker of the American University of Washington, D.C., boys and girls are often treated differently in the classroom. They found out that when boys speak, teachers usually offer constructive comments, when girls speech, teachers tend to focus on the behavior. It's more important how the girls act rather than what they say.

The emphasis on differences begins at birth and continues throughout childhood. For example, few people would give pink baby's clothes to a boy or a blue blanket to a girl. Later, many of us give girls dolls and miniature kitchenware, while boys receive action figures and construction sets. There's nothing wrong with that. The problem arises when certain activities are deemed appropriate for one sex but not the other. According to Heather J. Nicholson, Ph.D., director of the National Resource Center for Girls, Inc., this kind of practice prevents boys and girls from acquiring important skills for their future lives.

"The fact is," says Nicholson, "that society functions as a kind of sorting machine regarding gender. In a recent survey, fifty-eight percent of eighth-grade girls but only six percent of boys earned money caring for younger children. On the other hand, twenty-seven percent of boys but only three percent of girls earned money doing lawn work". If we are serious about educating a generation to be good workers and parents, we need to eliminate such stereotypes as those mentioned previously.

Gender stereotypes inevitably are passed to our children. However, by becoming aware of the messages our children receive, we can help them develop ways to overcome these incorrect ideas. To counteract these ideas, parents can look for ways to challenge and support their children, and to encourage confidence in ways that go beyond what society's fixed ideas about differences of sext are.

Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage?

A. Deep-seated stereotypes about genders and their effects.

B. Different prejudice about how girls and boys should behave and be treated.

C. The role of culture in the behavior of different genders.

D. The influence of education and society on gender stereotypes.
