Coming second: pleasure or pain?
Every ambitious athlete hopes to fulfil their dream of winning a gold medal at the Olympics.

psychologists recently conducted (25) ______ research on the emotional responses of those finishing
second. For certain individuals, a silver medal may (26) ______ their expectations and so naturally they
will be delighted. They may also enjoy surprising experts and journalists who believed they had
absolutely no prospect of achieving anything. (27) ______, the athlete who everyone assumed would
win with ease, but then suffers a narrow defeat, may not (28) ______ their silver medal. This reaction

victory will almost certainly reflect on what might have happened if they had trained harder, or done
things differently.

The city of Lodz in Poland was another unremarkable industrial city until a few years ago. In 2009,
an organisation called the Urban Forms Foundation was set up by a well-known art historian and an
actress. Their idea was to bring the tired urban landscape to life again.
Trang 2/5 - Đề Thi Thử Lần 1
 The Foundation planned an art project that would change the city’s image and regenerate the centre,
and presented it to the city council. It wanted the council to ask street artists to paint on walls around the
city centre as a permanent outdoor exhibition. The mayor of the city supported the idea and the
Foundation was given permission to go ahead and raise the money needed.
Famous street artists from all over the world were invited by the Foundation to come to Poland to
work, including Os Gemeos from Brazil, Aryz from Spain and Remed from France, as well as local
talent like M-City and Etam Cru. In total, artists from eight countries took part in the project over the
next few years, and more than twenty huge murals were created on the sides of buildings in public
spaces. Lodz is now the second city in the world for street art after New York, and people visit there
especially to see the amazing artworks. With a special map, tourists can walk round the city and view
them all in a couple of hours.
Now, once a year, the Foundation organises an art festival which attracts participants from all over
the world. And in the future, the project will be continued with other pieces of urban art - statues,
sculptures and ‘street jewellery’. The transformation goes on!

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.
Once the stuff of low-quality science fiction movies, the crime of virtual murder may become a
reality, following the arrest of a middle-aged piano teacher from southern Japan who murdered her
virtual husband. The 43-year-old woman hacked into the computer of the man she married in the online
game MapleStory and deleted his carefully constructed virtual character after their relationship turned
sour.
Police arrested her this week following a complaint by the man, a 33-year-old office worker who lives
on the other side of the country in the northern city of Sapporo, 1000 km away. The two apparently never
had a face-to-face meeting and the woman is not suspected of a flesh-and-blood crime, say the police.
She is accused of using her virtual partner’s password and ID, which she acquired when they were a
happily married virtual couple, to gain illegal access to his computer. The crime carries a maximum
sentence of five years in prison or a fine of about £3,200. “It sounds like a strange case but obviously it
is illegal to hack into someone else’s computer,” said a spokesman for the Sapporo police. “That is why
she has been arrested.”
According to investigators, the woman flew into a rage when the relationship was abruptly
terminated. “I thought everything was fine, and then I was suddenly divorced without a word of warning.
That made me so angry,” she was quoted as saying. The two met while playing a hugely popular role-
playing game called MapleStory, which encourages anonymous users to create online characters that
explore alternative worlds, fight monsters and engage in virtual relationships. Long-term commitments
and marriage are not uncommon among players, who are sometimes not even living in the same country.
Originally from South Korea MapleStory now reportedly has more than 50 million members worldwide.
The latest case comes amid growing controversy about online crimes. A court in the Netherlands
sentenced two teenagers to a total of 360 hours of community service this month for breaking into a
Trang 3/5 - Đề Thi Thử Lần 1
classmate’s computer and stealing his virtual possessions, “These virtual goods are goods under Dutch
law, so this is theft,” said the court, which was criticised for going too far.
Online gamers are debating the possible results of the Japanese woman’s arrest, with many supporting
the ‘murdered’ husband, “It takes a lot of time and effort to build up a virtual character. This could mean
other wronged people may seek real-world justice for people who harm them virtually,” wrote one
gamer. “I hope she goes to prison.”
