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. 
If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a disaster. 
According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which ambitious 
parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his parents expect, and will fail. 
Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children. 
However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are ambitious 
in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well–especially if the parents are very supportive of 
their child. 
Michael Collins is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to 
concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice a 
week for violin lessons. Michael’s mother knows very little about music, but his father plays the trumpet in a 
large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling. 
Winston Smith, Michael’s friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful musicians, 
and they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they 
enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. Winston is 
always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy. 
(From “Read and Understand 2”: Betty Kirkpatrick- Learners Publishing Pte Ltd 2005)

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 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. 
 Trang 4/4 - Mó đề thi 502 
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 behavior, what we consider beautiful or ugly- these are all aspects of culture that 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 behavior 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’ behavioral differences as cultural rather than personal. We tend 
to misinterpret other people’s behavior, 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. 
(Adapted from “Issues for Today” by Lorraine C. Smith and Nancy Nici Mare)
