Read the following passage and choose the best answers to the following questions.
Family life in the United States is changing. Fifty or sixty years ago, the wife was called a
“housewife”. She cleaned, cooked, and cared for the children. The husband earned the money for the
family. He was usually out working all day. He came home tired in the evening, so he did not do much
housework. And he did not see the children very much, except on weekends.
These days, however, more and more women work outside the home. They cannot stay with the
children all day. They, too, come home tired in the evening. They do not want to spend the evening cooking
dinner and cleaning up. They do not have time to clean the house and do the laundry. So who is going to
do the housework now? Who is going to take care of the children?
Many families solve the problem of housework by sharing it. In these families, the husband and
wife agree to do different jobs around the house, or they take turns doing each job. For example, the
husband always cooks dinner and the wife always does the laundry. Or the wife cooks dinner on some
nights and the husband cooks dinner on other nights.
Then there is the question of the children. In the past, many families got help with child care from
grandparents. Now families usually do not live near their relatives. The grandparents are often too far away
to help in a regular way. More often, parents have to pay for child care help. The help may be a babysitter

Trang 3/5 - Mã đề 811

or a day-care center. The problem with this kind of help is the high cost. It is possible only for couples with
jobs that are paid well.
Parents may get another kind of help from the companies they work for. Many companies now let
people with children work part-time. That way, parents can spend more time with their children. Some
husbands may even stop working for a while to stay with the children. For these men there is a new word:
they are called
“househusbands”. In the USA more and more men are becoming househusbands every year.
These changes in the home mean changes in the family. Fathers can learn to understand their
children better, and the children can get to know their fathers better. Husbands and wives may also find
changes in their marriage. They, too, may have a better understanding of each other.
39: Sixty years ago, most women ________.
A. did not do much housework. B. had no children.
C. were housewives. D. went out to work.
40: Nowadays, there are ________.
A. more and more women staying with the children all day.
B. more women going out to work than before.
C. more work outside the home than before.
D. more housewives than before.
41: The word “laundry” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to________.
A. cooking and washing up B. washing and ironing
C. tidying up D. shopping
42: It can be inferred from paragraph 4 that ________.
A. couples with low-paid jobs can’t afford the cost of a babysitter or a day-care center.
B. all couples with jobs can pay for help from a babysitter or a day-care center.
C. grandparents can help care the children in a regular way.
D. in the past, grandparents did not help the couples with child care.
43: The word “they” in paragraph 5 refers to
________. A. husbands who stop working to stay
with the children.
B. parents who work part-time.
C. children who spend more time with fathers than mothers.
D. fathers who spend more time with their children.
44: The changes in the American home mentioned in this passage may ________.
A. help families. B. not happen.
C. cause problems for a marriage. D. not change the children at all. 45: This
article is about ________.
A. housewives in America. B. how family life in America is changing.
C. how many American women are working. D. American men as househusbands.

Read the following passage and choose the best answers to the following questions.
Communication in Groups
The sheer number of people in a group affects the amount of communication. Consider the
difference between communication between two friends and communication in a group of five people.
When friends talk, there are two people sending and receiving messages. In a group of five, there are five
people doing the same thing. Each idea that is expressed must be understood by four others, who may also
choose to respond. Consequently, the greater number of people in a group, the fewer contributions an
individual may make. Because there are disadvantages to large groups, you might assume that small groups

Trang 4/5 - Mã đề 811

would be the most effective. However, with too few members, a group has limited resources, which
eliminates a primary advantage of groups for decision making. Also, members may be unwilling to
disagree or criticize each other's ideas. I believe that five to seven members is the ideal size for a small
group.
46: According to the passage, in a group, what has an influence on the amount of
communication?
A. Sending messages. B. The number of members.
C. Receiving messages. D. The way to disagree or criticize.

A. before a decision is made everyone has to express their ideas individually.
B. no one criticizes each other's ideas.
C. everyone is free to express their ideas as much as they want.
D. there is less opportunity for each person to speak.
48: According to the passage, small groups
_________. A. have always infinite resources.
B. express their criticism more freely than large groups.
C. can have some disadvantages as well.
D. are always more successful than large groups in terms of decision making.
49: The word “eliminates” could be best replaced by ________.
A. promotes B. supports C. assists D. gets rid of
50: The author of the article suggests that ________.
A. everyone should listen to each other's ideas no matter how large the group is.
B. the number of people in a small group must not be more than five.
