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.
 By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can considerably increase 
their children’s language development. It is surprising, but true. How parents talk to their children makes a 
big difference in the children’s language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to 
what the parent is reading, the child’s language skills increase.
 A study was done with two or three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the thirty children 
participants were in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental 
group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended 
questions rather than yes-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, “What is the doggy doing?” 
rather than, “Is the doggy running away?” Experimental parents were also instructed how to expand on their 
children’s answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities, and how to praise correct answers.
 At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ on levels of language development, but at the 
end of one month, the children in the experimental group were 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a 
test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still 
showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.

 B. The more children read, the more intelligent they become.
 C. Children who read actively always act six months earlier than those who don’t.

 Trang 1/6 - Mã đề 003 blown syndrome, with as many as one in five suffering from a milder form.
 OCD sufferers are tortured by obsessional thoughts, such as worrying that their hands are 
contaminated by germs. The terrible anxiety is only relieved by performing a particular set of behaviors. 
Unfortunately, any sense of relief is short-lived, which is why the behavior must be repeated again and 
again. OCD sufferers know their behavior is irrational, yet feel powerless to stop.
 Common treatments are either antidepressants or behavioral therapy with a psychologist, but only 60% 
of patients show some improvement. However, a new treatment from America is bringing fresh hope to 
sufferers.
 One of the OCD gurus and neuropsychiatrists, Jeffrey Schwartz, has designed the Four Steps program 
which employs meditation techniques with the aim of teaching sufferers to manage their symptoms by 
themselves. “The goal is to learn to override false brain messages”, explains Schwartz.
 There are different theories about what causes the disorder. Most experts recognize a genetic element 
that can be triggered by a stressful event. Schwartz believes that the OCD ‘worry circuit’ is a direct result of 
faulty brain chemistry. ‘When someone experiences an OCD thought, one part of the brain knows quite 
clearly that the hand are not dirty’, explains Schwartz ‘Some part of the brain is standing apart from the 
symptoms, reflecting on the sheer bizarreness of it all. The objective is to harness this impartial spectator so 
that patients can use this healthy part of their brain to resist the compulsions.’ David Smith is delighted with 
the results of Schwartz’s treatment. ‘Now I can sign cheques without a problem’, he says brightly. ‘And I 
don’t photocopy them either. OCD used to feel like a huge stigma, but I don’t feel handicapped by it any 
more. You just deal with it.’
