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 4 to 10.
For Sean O'Brien, it was just an ordinary night out with friends. He knew that people sometimes mocked him for being
overweight, and he was usually able to shrug it off. But this time, as well as laughing at him in person, someone decided to
publicly fat-shame him by posting a video of him dancing online, with a hurtful comment. Sean was completely unaware of
it, but the post about him was shared widely, and it prompted a wave of abuse from immature Internet trolls.
However, as well as the cyberbullies, other people were watching. A group of women in California, who were
campaigning to encourage people to have a positive body image whatever their size, decided to take action. They put out a
message on Twitter, inviting Sean on an all-expenses- paid trip from London to Los Angeles, to meet and dance with them.
When Sean's friends first told him about the search for dancing man, he figured it was a bit of nonsense which would
soon blow over, and decided not to bother doing anything about it.
But the movement got bigger and bigger. Sean rethought his decision, made contact, and the women - all 1,700 of them
- started raising money to throw him an extra-special party in LA. He went to the party in California. Sean had assumed that
just a few people would turn up, but he realised his mistake as soon as he saw over 1,000 people queuing to get into the
nightclub! Sean danced all night and the story of how he and the women's group in California took a stance against
cyberbullying was reported aroun the world. As a result of the event, some of the women set up Dance Free Movement, an
online forum where anyone who felt they had been bullied or victimized could receive support. The 'dancing man' himself
has become a fundraiser for several anti-bullying charities.
Sean commented in an interview at the time that he was amazed that something which started out so badly, had become
such a positive movement. He said that he had actually never really thought about the people who posted the original images,
concluding that they must have their own insecurities, to put the spotlight on someone else so maliciously. Sean certainly had
the last laugh. We are often told that the best idea is not to give bullies any attention, but it may be that the best way to deal
with cyberbullying is to act as these women did and be brave enough to make it clear that we are uncomfortable with this kind
of behaviour, that we disagree with what is being said and that bullying is completely unacceptable.

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 33 to 37.
Australians place a high value on independence and personal choice. This means that a teacher or course tutor will not
tell students what to do, but will give them a number of options and suggest they work out which one is the best in their
circumstances. It also means that they are expected to take action if something goes wrong and seek out resources and support
for themselves.
Australians are also prepared to accept a range of opinions rather than believing there is one truth. This means that in an
educational setting, students will be expected to form their own opinions and defend the reasons for that point of view and
the evidence for it.
Australians are uncomfortable with differences in status and hence idealise the idea of treating everyone equally. An
illustration of this is that most adult Australians call each other by their first names. This concern with equality means that
Australians are uncomfortable taking anything too seriously and are even ready to joke about themselves.
Australians believe that life should have a balance between work and leisure time. As a consequence, some students may
be critical of others who they perceive as doing nothing but study. Australian notions of privacy mean that areas such as
financial matters, appearance and relationships are only discussed with close friends. While people may volunteer such
information, they may resent someone actually asking them unless the friendship is firmly established. Even then, it is
considered very impolite to ask someone what they earn. With older people, it is also rude to ask how old they are, why they
are not married or why they do not have children. It is also impolite to ask people how much they have paid for something,
unless there is a very good reason for asking.
Câu 33: Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Things to do in Australia B. Australian culture
C. A story about Australia D. Australian culture shock

A. Australians restrict class discrimination
B. Australians get on well with each other
C. Calling each other by their first names makes them friendlier
D. Australians are difficult to remember people's surnames
Câu 36: The word "critical" in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to .
A. complimentary B. faultfinding C. grateful D. appreciate
Câu 37: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
A. Students in Australia will be expected to form their own opinions.
B. Australians are prepared to accept a range of opinions.
C. Asking someone what they earn is considered fairly polite.
