(100) _________ from comical. Shopping addicts can't say “no” to the desire for immediate gratification: sự thỏa mãn ngay lập

several Indian universities offer courses in the subject. It is not, therefore, surprising that many people will (108) ________ an

Humour across cultures
Humour is a uniquely human quality that (116) _____ENABLE____ people to connect, break boundaries: PHÁ VỠ MỌI
RANH GIỚI and share common ideas. However, (117) _____WHILE_____ many know through bitter experience, it does not

5
always translate well across cultures. This is because much of (118) _____WHAT_____ we find amusing: THÚ VỊ is culturally
determined.
The norms: CÁI CHUẨN MỰC of humour that are familiar to the people of one nation can seem impenetrable: KHÓ
HIỂU to (119) _____OTHERS_____. However, research shows that universal elements do exist. These can cross cultural boundaries
and tap into: KHAI THÁC a mutual understanding of the world, irrespective (120) _____OF_____ where we grew up.
While many people think being funny requires a (121) ______CERTAIN____ sophistication: SỰ TINH TẾ or intellectual
ability: KHẢ NĂNG TRÍ TUỆ, apparently anyone can make others laugh. This is due to the fact that human beings are naturally
predisposed: CÓ KHUYNH HƯỚNG to humour. Researchers have discovered that (122) _____WHAT_____ commonly
considered to be funny is composed of two elements. Firstly, it must subvert: THÁCH THỨC the listener's expectations – in other
words, be surprising – and, also, it must not be threatening. As this appears to (123) _____HOLD_____ true across cultures, the topics
are where the differences lie. For example, in some countries people enjoy telling jokes about (124) _____THEIR_____ competitive
relationships with neighbouring nations while, in other parts of the world people like comedy that is directed at themselves, or like
using wordplay: TRÒ CHƠI CHỮ, storytelling or satire.
Whatever the topic, though, it turns out that understanding the things that make any of us crack (125) ______UP: BẬT
CƯỜI_____ isn't actually that difficult.

Throughout this year, we will be recommending a collection of books that, when taken (126) ____AS___ a whole, will form a

from time to time, often arousing controversy: GÂY TRANH CÃI for being too elitist: CHỦ NGHĨA TINH HOA or too
populist: DÂN TÚY. But our list is the result of consultations: QUÁ TRÌNH THAM VẤN with book buyers and booksellers,
people who know and (128) ___LOVE___ books.
Currently, there are well over a million books (129) ___IN___ print. Add to these yet (130) ___ANOTHER___ 100,000 books
published each year and the choice for readers becomes bewildering, yet certain books, both classics and contemporary works, (131)
___STAND___out. While our list doesn’t identify classics in the traditional sense, many of the works included are considered to be
classic books. The list aims to make the reader aware of what is available that is stimulating, rewarding and inspiring. (132)
___HOW___ else does one learn about a good read (133) ___OTHER___ than by enthusiastic recommendation?
This month we are highlighting fifty books from the area of business and reference. These fifty titles represent the perfect business

Look out for next month’s fifty choices, (135) ___WHICH___ will take you a step nearer completion of your 1000-book library.

Part 3. Read the following passage and circle the best answer to each of the following questions.
The idea is that no matter where people live, they can share knowledge and move products at virtually no cost. According to this
view, the good jobs, now concentrated in high-cost locations such as Silicon Valley and Boston, will quickly disperse: phân tán, rải
rác to low-cost locations, both in the United States and abroad. An experienced software engineer in India makes $35,000. The same
person in Silicon Valley makes $140,000. Why would U.S. firms keep hiring in Silicon Valley when they could save so much by
outsourcing? By the same token: bằng cách tương tự, if labor costs are three times higher in Silicon Valley than in Mobile,
Alabama, companies will eventually relocate to Alabama. This process of dispersion, the argument goes, will be faster than the
dispersion of manufacturing jobs, because moving software codes across DSL lines is easier than moving bulky goods across borders.
In this vision of: trong viễn cảnh the future, the great innovation hubs: trung tâm đổi mới lớn of American will disappear from
the map and innovation jobs will disperse evenly across the country. The key prediction of this view is the convergence: sự hội tụ of
American communities. Low-cost areas will attract more and more of the new, highpaying jobs. Cities that have been lagging
behind: tụt hậu – the Clevelands, the Topekas, and the Mobiles – will grow much faster. Bogged down: bị trì trệ, gặp khó khăn by
their high costs, San Francisco, New York, Seattle, and similar cities will decline.
But the data don’t support this view. In fact, the opposite has been happening. In innovation, a company’s success depends on
more than just the quality of its workers - it also depends on the entire ecosystem: hệ sinh thái that surrounds it. This is important,
because it makes it harder to delocalize: di chuyển ra ngoài địa phương, không còn tập trung ở một khu vực cụ thể. innovation
than traditional manufacturing. A textile factory is a standalone entity that can be put pretty much anywhere in the world where labor
is abundant. By contrast, a biotech lab is harder to export, because you would have to move not just one company but an entire
ecosystem.
A growing body of research suggests that cities are not just a collection of individuals but complex, interrelated environments that
foster the generation of new ideas and new ways of doing business. For example, social interactions among workers tend to generate
learning opportunities that enhance innovation and productivity. By clustering: tập trung lại near each other, innovators foster each
other’s creative spirit and become more successful. Thus, once a city attracts some innovative workers and innovative companies, its
economy changes in ways that make it even more attractive to other innovators. In the end, this is what is causing the Great
Divergence among American communities, as some cities experience an increased concentration of good jobs, talent, and investment
and others are in free fall. It is a trend that is reshaping not just our economy but our entire society in profound ways. It implies that a
growing part of inequality in America reflects not just a class divide, but a geographical divide.
This does not mean there is no merit to the view that low-cost areas are destined to catch up. At a global level, the most important
economic development of the past decade is the incredible improvement in the standard of living in developing nations such as Brazil,
China, Poland, Turkey, India, and even some African countries. Their strong economic performance has greatly reduced the gap
between these countries and rich nations, thus contributing to a marked convergence in income levels. This is welcome news.
Although seldom recognized, inequality has plummeted when measured at a global level. The catch-up: sự theo kịp, bắt kịp

6
experienced by the American South over the past fifty years is another example of convergence. Many southern states were
significantly poorer than the rest of the country in the 1960s but grew more rapidly in the following decades.
Yet in both cases the process of catching up was geographically uneven. Some southern cities – Austin, Atlanta, Durham,
Washington, D.C., Dallas, and Houston, for example - grew much faster than others, thus increasing the disparity among communities
in the South. Developing countries exhibit similar regional differences. In China, Shanghai has reached a per capita income close to
that of a rich nation. Its students outperform American and European students in standardized tests by a wide margin. Its public
infrastructure is better than that of most American cities. But agricultural communities in western China have made much less
progress. The regional differences in China have clearly grown, even if the difference between China and richer countries has shrunk.

Willpower
A Although willpower does not shape our decisions, it determines whether and how long we can follow through on them. It
almost single-handedly determines life outcomes. Interestingly, research suggests the general population is indeed aware of how
essential willpower is to their wellbeing; survey participants routinely identify a ‘lack of willpower’ as the major impediment to
making beneficial life changes. There are, however, misunderstandings surrounding the nature of willpower and how we can acquire
more of it. There is a widespread misperception, for example, that increased leisure time would lead to subsequent increases in
willpower.
B Although the concept of willpower is often explained through single-word terms, such as ‘resolve’ or ‘drive’, it refers in fact
to a variety of behaviours and situations. There is a common perception that willpower entails resisting some kind of a ‘treat’, such as
a sugary drink or a lazy morning in bed, in favour of decisions that we know are better for us, such as drinking water or going to the
gym. Of course this is a familiar phenomenon for all. Yet willpower also involves elements such as overriding negative thought
processes, biting your tongue in social situations, or persevering through a difficult activity. At the heart of any exercise of willpower,

7
however, is the notion of ‘delayed gratification’, which involves resisting immediate satisfaction for a course that will yield greater or
more permanent satisfaction in the long run.
C Scientists are making general investigations into why some individuals are better
able than others to delay gratification and thus employ their willpower, but the genetic or environmental origins of this ability remain
a mystery for now. Some groups who are particularly vulnerable to reduced willpower capacity, such as those with addictive
personalities, may claim a biological origin for their problems. What is clear is that levels of willpower typically remain consistent
over time (studies tracking individuals from early childhood to their adult years demonstrate a remarkable consistency in willpower
abilities). In the short term, however, our ability to draw on willpower can fluctuate dramatically due to factors such as fatigue, diet
and stress. Indeed, research by Matthew Gailliot suggests that willpower, even in the absence of physical activity, both requires and
drains blood glucose levels, suggesting that willpower operates more or less like a ‘muscle’, and, like a muscle, requires fuel for
optimum functioning.
D These observations lead to an important question: if the strength of our willpower at the age of thirty-five is somehow
pegged to our ability at the age of four, are all efforts to improve our willpower certain to prove futile? According to newer research,
this is not necessarily the case. Gregory M. Walton, for example, found that a single verbal cue – telling research participants how
strenuous mental tasks could ‘energise’ them for further challenging activities – made a profound difference in terms of how much
willpower participants could draw upon to complete the activity. Just as our willpower is easily drained by negative influences, it
appears that willpower can also be boosted by other prompts, such as encouragement or optimistic self-talk.
E Strengthening willpower thus relies on a two-pronged approach: reducing negative influences and improving positive ones.
One of the most popular and effective methods simply involves avoiding willpower depletion triggers, and is based on the old adage,
‘out of sight, out of mind’. In one study, workers who kept a bowl of enticing candy on their desks were far more likely to indulge
than those who placed it in a desk drawer. It also appears that finding sources of motivation from within us may be important. In
another study, Mark Muraven found that those who felt compelled by an external authority to exert self-control experienced far
greater rates of willpower depletion than those who identified their own reasons for taking a particular course of action. This idea that
our mental convictions can influence willpower was borne out by Veronika Job. Her research indicates that those who think that
willpower is a finite resource exhaust their supplies of this commodity long before those who do not hold this opinion.
F Willpower is clearly fundamental to our ability to follow through on our decisions but, as psychologist Roy Baumeister has
discovered, a lack of willpower may not be the sole impediment every time our good intentions fail to manifest themselves. A critical
precursor, he suggests, is motivation – if we are only mildly invested in the change we are trying to make, our efforts are bound to fall
short. This may be why so many of us abandon our New Year’s Resolutions – if these were actions we really wanted to take, rather
than things we felt we ought to be doing, we would probably be doing them already. In addition, Muraven emphasises the value of
monitoring progress towards a desired result, such as by using a fitness journal, or keeping a record of savings toward a new purchase.
The importance of motivation and monitoring cannot be overstated. Indeed, it appears that, even when our willpower reserves are
entirely depleted, motivation alone may be sufficient to keep us on the course we originally chose.
