Twelve years after its release, Zombieland (2009) remains one of the most enjoyable films in
the flesh-eating genre. Its secret sauce? Brilliant casting – five Academy Award nominees – fast
pacing, and the fact it just doesn’t take itself too seriously.
The premise of Zombieland is pretty simple: four individuals reluctantly join forces and
carpool across the country during a zombie apocalypse. The narrator, Columbus is a social
introvert who has survived by following a list of conservative rules, including staying fit enough
to outrun the zombies (Rule #1: Cardio) and shooting them twice to make sure they are actually
dead (Rule #2: Double Tap).
Part of what makes this film work is the chemistry between the cast. There’s a sense of ease
and companionship, which is greatly helped by the film’s editing, well-paced flashbacks, clever

use of graphics, and snappy dialogue.
It doesn’t set out to be a hit, but by the end, this zombie movie is quite sweet. Sure, there’s
blood, guts and gore, but the virtues of loyalty, trust and family are established without feeling
cheesy or insincere. Almost as much of a triumph as surviving the apocalypse.

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 42 to 48.
Children brought up by single parents, heterosexual partners or same-sex couples are all
equally healthy and happy. The law needs to catch up with society. People of a certain age may
remember school sociology lessons debating the merits of the nuclear family – mother, father and
their biological children – versus the extended family, a tight-knit local network of grandparents,
parents, children, aunts, uncles and cousins.
That debate is rarely heard nowadays. The discussion – and angst – about the optimal family
structure has changed. More than half the children in the UK and US are now being brought up
outside a nuclear family, and not because of any great revival of the extended family. Thanks to
the rise in reproductive technologies, egg and sperm donation and permissive social attitudes,
couples or single people who couldn’t previously have started families now can. As our special
report starting on page 30 explains, a giant social experiment is under way.
To some people, any deviation from the norm is unacceptable – especially if it involves
same-sex relationships. In the run up to Australia’s national survey on gay marriage, shocking
posters appeared in Melbourne claiming that 92 per cent of children raised by same-sex parents
are abused, 51 per cent have depression and 72 per cent are obese.
There will always be people prepared to spread fake news to further their agenda. But amid
the bigotry, they do have one valid point: the welfare of children must always trump the desires
of would-be parents. So what does the evidence say? The stats on the poster do come from real
studies, albeit ones that have been debunked. The scientific consensus is the exact opposite. The
near-unanimous conclusion from a body of long-running studies on the emotional and
psychological health of children brought up in non-traditional families of all kinds is that there is
nothing to worry about, over and above regular concerns about child welfare within any family.
Some studies even suggest that welfare is higher in families that have used IVF, simply because
of the emotional investment made to start them.
There are other issues around identity and relatedness. Starting a family with the help of a
donor raises all sorts of questions: what traits will my child inherit? How will our relationship
develop if we know we are not genetically related (see “Does it matter if my child is not
genetically related to me?”)? Here the research is a little less clear, but the emerging message is
the same: there is no extra risk to children brought into the world in this way.
These findings are beginning to feed into legislation. In the UK, for example, same-sex
parents can now be the joint parents of children born through assisted reproduction. But progress
is slow. In France, IVF was legal only for married couples until 2013. And then, when gay

Học tiếng Anh cùng Thầy Chí Châu | KYS 6

marriage was introduced, the rules were rewritten to specify only married heterosexual couples.
In 30 years time, the debate over alternative family structures will appear as quaint as that
over the nuclear and extended families. In the meantime, people who use the “think of the
children” argument to promote the status quo ante should accept that we have thought about
them, and the kids are doing just fine.

A. IVF Is The Key to The World of Reproduction
B. Kids Are Alright Whatever The Family Make-up, So Let Them Be
