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 9 to 18. In early civilization, citizens were educated informally, usually within the family unit. Education

meant simply learning to live. As civilization became more complex, however, education became more

formal, structured, and comprehensive. Initial efforts of the ancient Chinese and Greek societies

concentrated solely on the education of males. The post-Babylonian Jews and Plato were exceptions to

this pattern. Plato was apparently the first significant advocate of the equality of the sexes. Women, in

his ideal state, would have the same rights and duties and the same educational opportunities as men.

This aspect of Platonic philosophy, however, had little or no effect on education for many centuries,

and the concept of a liberal education for men only, which had been espoused by Aristotle, prevailed.

In ancient Rome, the availability of an education was gradually extended to women, but they were

taught separately from men. The early Christians and medieval Europeans continued this trend, and

single-sex schools for the privileged through classes prevailed through the Reformation period.

Gradually, however, education for women, in a separate but equal basis to that provided for men, was

becoming a clear responsibility of society. Martin Luther appealed for civil support of schools for all

children. Al the Council of Trent in the 16th century, the Roman Catholic Church encouraged the

establishment of free primary schools for children of all classes. The concept of universal primary

education, regardless of sex, had been born, but it was still in the realm of the single-sex school.

Trang 2/7 - M thi 132

In the late 19th and early 20

th centuries, co-education became a more widely applied principle of

educational philosophy. In Britain, Germany, and the Soviet Union the education of boys and girls in

the same classes became an accepted practice. Since World War II, Japan and the Scandinavian

countries have also adopted relatively universal co-educational systems. The greatest negative

reaction to co-education has been felt in the teaching systems of the Latin countries, where the sexes

have usually been separated at both primary and secondary levels, according to local conditions.

A number of studies have indicated that girls seem to perform better overall and in science in

particular. In single-sex classes, during the adolescent years, pressure to conform to stereotypical

female gender roles may disadvantage girls in traditionally male subjects, making them reluctant to

volunteer for experimental work while taking part in lessons. In Britain, academic league tables point

to high standards achieved in girls schools. Some educationalists, therefore, suggest segregation of the sexes as a good thing, particularly in certain areas, and a number of schools are experimenting

with the idea.

correct answer to each of the questions from 39 to 48.

You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their

actions. This is useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond

to them. Emotions have evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey our intentions

to others. But does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as

it does in Madagascar? Much research on emotional expression has centered on such questions.

According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and understand

substantially the same facial language. Studies by Ekmans group have demonstrated that humans share a set of universal emotional expressions that testify to the common biological heritage of the

human species. Smiles, for example, signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of

people in far-flung places as Argentina, Japan, Spain, Hungary, Poland, Sumatra, the United States,

Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea and the Eskimo villagers north of the Artic Circle. Ekman and his

colleagues claim that people everywhere can recognize at least seven basic emotions: sadness, fear,

anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and surprise. There are, however, huge differences across

cultures in both the context and intensity of emotional displays the so-called display rules. In many Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses especially negative one while many American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly. Regardless of culture, however, emotions usually show themselves, to some degree, in peoples behaviour. From their first days of life, babies produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings.

The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too. Very young children pay close attention

to facial expressions, and by age five they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading emotions on

peoples faces. This evidence all points to a biological underpinning for our abilities to express and interpret a basic set of human emotions. Moreover, as Charles Darwin pointed out over a century ago,

some emotional expressions seem to appear across species boundaries. Cross-cultural psychologists

tell us that certain emotional responses carry different meanings in different cultures. For examples,

what emotion, you suppose, might indicate disgust, while in China it can signify surprise. Likewise, a

grin on an American face may indicate joy, while on a Japanese face it may, just as easily, mean

embarrassment. Clearly, culture influences emotional expressions.
