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.
It used to be that people would drink coffee or tea in the morning to pick them up and get them
going for the day. Then cola drinks hit the market. With lots of caffeine and sugar, these beverages
soon became the pick-me-up of choice for many adults and teenagers. Now drink companies are
putting out so-called “energy drinks”. These beverages have the specific aim of giving tired consumers
more energy.
One example of a popular energy drink is Red Bull. The company that puts out this beverage has
stated in interviews that Red Bull is not a thirst quencher. Nor is it meant to be a fluid replacement
drink for athletes. Instead, the beverage is meant to revitalize a tired consumer’s body and mind. In
order to do this, the makers of Red Bull, and other energy drinks, typically add vitamins and certain
chemicals to their beverages. The added chemicals are like chemicals that the body naturally produces
for energy. The vitamins, chemicals, caffeine, and sugar found in these beverages all seem like a sure
bet to give a person energy.
Health professionals are not so sure, though. For one thing, there is not enough evidence to show
that all of the vitamins added to energy drinks actually raise a person’s energy level. Another problem
is that there are so many things in the beverages. Nobody knows for sure how all of the ingredients in
energy drinks work together.
Dr. Brent Bauer, one of the directors at the Mayo Clinic in the US, cautions people about
believing all the claims energy drinks make. He says, “It is plausible if you put all these things
together, you will get a good result”. However, Dr. Bauer adds “the mix of ingredients could also have
a negative impact on the body”. “- We just don't know at this point”, he says.
Question 19: What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Teenagers should not choose energy drinks.
B. Red Bull is the best energy drink.
C. Caffeine is bad for people to drink.

D. It is uncertain whether energy drinks are healthy.


Question 20: The word “it” in the second paragraph refers to ________.
A. thirst quencher B. one example C. Red Bull D. the company
Question 21: The beverages mentioned in the first paragraph aim to give consumers ________.
A. sugar B. more choices C. caffeine D. more energy
Question 22: The word “plausible” in the passage is closest in meaning to ________.
A. reasonable B. typical C. impossible D. unlikely
Question 23: According to the passage, what makes it difficult for researchers to know if an energy
drink gives people energy?
A. The mixture of various ingredients
B. The number of beverage makers
C. Natural chemicals in a person’s body

correct answer to each of the questions.
In most discussions of cultural diversity, attention has focused on visible, explicit aspects of
culture, such as language, dress, food, religion, music, and social rituals. Although they are important,
these visible expressions of culture, which are taught deliberately and learned consciously, are only
the tip of the iceberg of culture. Much of culture is taught and learned implicitly, or outside
awareness. Thus, neither cultural insiders nor cultural outsiders are aware that certain “invisible”
aspects of their culture exist.
Invisible elements of culture are important to us. For example, how long we can be late before
being impolite, what topics we should avoid in a conversation, how we show interest or attention
through listening behaviour, what we consider beautiful or ugly - these are all aspects of culture that
Đột Phá Kỳ Thi THPT Quốc Gia Môn Tiếng Anh | 4
Đạt Phạm – www.facebook.com/datpham1509 The best and Everything

we learn and use without being aware of it. When we meet other people whose invisible cultural
assumptions differ from those we have learned implicitly, we usually do not recognize their behaviour
as cultural in origin.
Differences in invisible culture can cause problems in cross-cultural relations. Conflicts may arise
when we are unable to recognize others’ behavioural differences as cultural rather than personal. We
tend to misinterpret other people’s behaviour, blame them, or judge their intentions or competence
without realizing that we are experiencing cultural rather than individual differences.
Formal organizations and institutions, such as schools, hospitals, workplaces, governments, and
the legal system are collection sites for invisible cultural differences. If the differences were more
visible, we might have less misunderstanding. For example, if we met a man in a courthouse who was
wearing exotic clothes, speaking a language other than ours, and carrying food that looked strange, we
would not assume that we understood his thoughts and feelings or that he understood ours. Yet when
such a man is dressed similarly to us, speaks our language, and does not differ from us in other
obvious ways, we may fail to recognize the invisible cultural differences between us. As a result,
mutual misunderstanding may arise.
Question 36: What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To point out that much of culture is learned consciously.
B. To describe cultural diversity.
C. To explain the importance of invisible aspects of culture.
D. To explain why cross-cultural conflict occurs.

C. visible aspects of culture are learned in formal institutions
D. other cultures seem cold to us
Question 39: Which of the following was NOT mentioned as an example of invisible culture?
A. How people express interest in what others are saying
B. How late is considered impolite
C. What topics to avoid in conversation
D. What food to eat in a courthouse
