 Sometimes you know things about people the first time you see them, for example, that you want to be friends with them or 
that you don't trust them. But perhaps this kind of intuition isn't as hard to explain as it may seem. For instance, people give out 
body language signals 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 other, 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 feelings 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. 
Câu 46: What does the word "open" in the passage most closely mean? 
A. Unrestrained. B. Relaxed. C. Confined. D. Unlimited. 
Câu 47: What influences your impression of a person you meet the first time? 
A. Intuition. B. Familiarity. C. Knowledge. D. Feeling. 
Câu 48: What one feels about a stranger may be influenced by something that ________. 
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 childhood 
Câu 49: What does the second paragraph discuss? 
A. Meanings of signals one 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.

 Upon the creation of the United States, 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 change. It is important 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 skilled 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. 
Câu 51: Education is defined in this passage as a driving force of change because ______. 
A. without education, no changes could have happened in American society so far 
B. the government of the United States want 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 change his driving licence must be very well-educated 
Câu 52: The passage shows the percentage of jobs that require higher training in the US _______ between the 1950s and now. 
A. has remained the same B. has changed dramatically 
C. has been reversed D. has changed slightly 
Câu 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 
Câu 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 
Câu 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
