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.
We first learn about loving and caring relationships from our families. Family is
defined as a domestic group of people with some degree of kinship - whether
through blood, marriage, or adoption. Ideally, each child is nurtured, respected, and
grows up to care for others and develop strong and healthy relationships . This does
not mean that it is always easy to make and keep friends, it just means that we share
the goal of having strong relationships.
"Family" includes your siblings and parents, as well as relatives who you may
not interact with every day, such as your cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and
stepparents. These are probably the people you are closest to and with whom you
spend the most time. Having healthy relationships with your family members is both
important and difficult.
Families in the 21st century come in all shapes and sizes: traditional, single
parent, blended (more than one family together in the same house), and gay and
lesbian parents - just to name a few. No matter the "type" of family you have, there
are going to be highs and lows - good times and bad. Many times, however, families
become blocked in their relationships by hurt, anger, mistrust, and confusion. These
are natural and normal, and few families do not have at least a few experiences with
them. The worst time for most families is during a divorce. By making a few simple
changes in the way we look at the world and deal with other people, it is possible to
create happier, more stable relationships. Families need to be units of mutual caring
and support; they can be sources of lifelong strength for all individuals.
Câu 7: What is the main idea of the passage?
A.The importance of sharing housework.
B. The healthy relationships among family members
C. The importance of having children.

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.
In my experience, freshmen today are different from those I knew when I
started as a counselor and professor 25 years ago. College has always been
demanding both academically and socially. But students now are less mature and
often not ready for the responsibility of being in college.
It is really too easy to point the finger at parents who protect their children
from life's obstacle. Parents who handle every difficulty and every other
responsibility for their children writing admission essays to picking college courses,
certainly may contribute to their children's lack of coping strategies. But we can look
even more broadly to the social trends of today.
How many people do you know who are on medication to prevent anxiety or
depression? The number of students who arrive at college already medicated for
unwanted emotions has increased dramatically in the past 10 years. We, as a
society, don't want to “feel” anything unpleasant and we certainly don't want our
children to “suffer”.
The resulting problem is that by not experiencing negative emotions, one
does not learn the necessary skills to tolerate and negotiate adversity. As a
psychologist, I am well aware of the fact that come individuals suffer from depression
and anxiety and can benefit from treatment, but I question the growing number of
medicated adolescents today. Our world is more stressful in general because of the
current economic and political realities, but I don't believe that the college experience
itself is more intense today than that of the past 10 years. What I do think is that
many students are often not prepared to be young adults with all the responsibilities
of life.
What does this mean for college faculty and staff We are required to assist in the
basic parenting of these students - the student who complains that the professor
didn't remind her of the due date for an assignment that was clearly listed on the
syllabus and the student who che assignment in spite of careful instructions about
plagiarism.
As college professors, we have to explain what it means to be an independent
college student before we can even begin to teach. As parents and teachers we
should expect young people to meet challenges. To encourage them in this
direction. We have to step back and let them fail and pick themselves up and move
forward. This approach needs to begin at an early age 30 actually be a passage to
independent adulthood.
