1 There are three different kinds o f bums: first-degree, two-degree, and
2 third-degree bums. Each type o f bum s requires a different type o f medical
3 treatment. The less serious bum is the first-degree bum. This bum causes the
4 skin to turn red but does not cause blistering. A mild sunburn is a good
5 example o f a first-degree bum, and unlike a mild sunburn, first-degree bums
6 generally do not require medical treatment another than gently cooling the
7 burned skin with ice or cold tap water. Second-degree bums, on the other hand,
8 do cause blistering of the skin and should be treated immediately. These bums
9 should be immersed in warm water and then wrapped in a sterile dressing or
10 bandage. Third-degree bums are those that char the skin and turn it black or
11 bum it so deeply that the skin turns white. These bums usually result in direct
12 contact with flames and have a great chance o f becoming infected. AU third-
13 degree bum victims should be give immediate hospital care. If possible, a
14 sterile dressing or bandage should be applied to the bums before the victims
15 are transported to hospital.

L Read the passage below and Choose the correct answer (A, B, C, or D) to each o f the questions. (1 point)
Psychologists are interested in the reasons why some people like taking part in risky
sports. When they studied people who were learning to jum p from a plane with a parachute, they
found that the parachutists’ bodies produced large amounts o f two hormones, adrenaline and nor
adrenaline, ju st before they made their jump.
These hormones help to prepare us for_any; sudden activity. Adrenaline increases the heart
rate and provides more sugar for the muscles, while nor adrenaline makes us react more quickly.
However, nor adrenaline also stimulates the part o f the brain which controls feelings o f pleasure.
Some psychologists have concluded that it is a feeling o f pleasure caused by this hormone that
makes certain people want to participate in dangerous sports.
Another possible reason is the level of arousal in part o f the brain. According to some
psychologists, the brain tries to maintain a certain level o f arousal. They believe that people who
normally have a low level ;of arousal look for excitement and new experiences in order to
stimulate themselves, whereajs people who usually have a high level o f arousal try to avoid risks
and unfamiliar situations in order not to become over excited. If the psychologists are right, people
with a low arousal are the ones who enjoy participating in dangerous sports and activities.
It is thought that people with low levels o f arousal have a slower-reacting nervous system
than people w ith higher arousal levels. It may therefore be possible to find out your level o f
arousal by testing your nervojus system. A quick way o f doing this is to put some lemon juice on
your tongue. I f you produce k lot o f saliva, your nervous system has been affected by the lemon
and so you probably have a high level o f arousal. If you produce little saliva, you probably have a
low arousal level. I f you have a low level, you might enjoy taking part in risky sports. However,
this does not mean that you have to try parachuting!

 51. Why did the parachutists’ bodies produce a lot o f adrenaline and nor adrenaline before they
jum ped from a plane?
A. This is a natural reaction which helps to prepare one for sudden activities.

53. What does the brain try to maintain, according to some psychologists?
A. A high temperature B. A low temperature
C. A certain level o f arousal D. A sense o f safety

B. Because they are more aware of the danger involved.
C. Because they already have enough o f the two hormones, adrenaline and nor adrenaline.
D. Because they would not be able to cope with accidents.

II. Read the following passage and fill in each of the blanks with ONE suitable word. (1 point)
In the American colonies there was little money. England did not supply the colonies with
coins and did not allow the colonies to (6 1 )______ their own coins, except for the Massachusetts
Bay Colony, which received permission for a short period in 1652 to make several kinds o f silver
coins. England wanted to keep money out of America as a ( 6 2 ) ______ o f controlling trade:
America was forced to trade only with England if it did not have the money to buy products from
other countries. The result during this pre-revolutionary period was that the colonists used various
goods in place o f money: beaver pelts, Indian wampum, and tobacco leaves were all (6 3 )______
used as substitutes for money. The (6 4 )______ also made use o f any foreign coins they could
obtain. Dutch, Spanish, French, and English coins were all in use in the American colonies.
During the Revolutionary War, funds were needed to finance the world, so (6 5 )______ of
the individual states and the Continental Congress issued paper money. So much o f this paper
money was (6 6 )______ that by the end o f the war, almost no one would accept (6 7 )_______. As a
result, trade in goods and the use of (68)______ coins still flourished during this period.
By the time the Revolutionary War had been won by the American colonists, the monetary
system was in a state o f total disarray. To remedy this situation, the new Constitution o f the
United States, approved in 1789, allowed the Congress to issue money. The individual states could
no longer have (6 9 )______ own money supply. A few years later, the Coinage Act o f 1792 made
the dollar the ( 7 0 ) ______ Currency o f the United States and put the country on a bimetallic
standard. In this bim etallic; system, both gold and silver were legal money, and the rate of
exchange of silver to gold was fixed by the government at sixteen to one.

W h y b ein g bored is stim ulating - and u sefu l, too
The most common o f emotions is turning out to be more interesting than we thought
A We all know how1 it feels - it’s impossible to keep your mind on anything, time
stretches out, and all the things you could do seem equally unlikely to make you feel better.
But defining boredom so that it can be studied in the lab has proved difficult. For a start, it
can include a lot of other mental states, such as frustration, apathy, depression and
indifference. There isn’t even agreement over whether boredom is always a low-energy, flat
kind o f emotion or whether feeling agitated and restless counts as boredom, too. In his
book, Boredom: A Lively History, Peter Toohey at the University o f Calgary, Canada,
compares it to disgust -4 an emotion that motivates us to stay away from certain situations.
‘If disgust protects humans from infection, boredom may protect them from “infectious”
social situations,’ he suggests.
3 By asking people about their experiences o f boredom, Thomas Goetz and his team at
the University o f Konstanz in Germany have recently identified five distinct types:
indifferent, calibrating,; searching, reactant, and apathetic. These can be plotted on two
axes - one running left to right, which measures low to high arousal, and the other from top

De TiengAnh Chuyen Anh —Trang 6/10

-
 to bottom, which measures how positive or negative the feeling is. Intriguingly, Goetz has
found that while people experience all kinds of boredom, they tend to specialise in one. O f
the five types, the most damaging is ‘reactant’ boredom with its explosive combination o f
high arousal and negative emotion. The most useful is what Goetz calls ‘indifferent’
boredom: someone isn’t engaged in anything satisfying but still feels relaxed and calm.
However, it remains to be seen whether there are any character traits that predict the kind o f
boredom each o f us might be prone to.
q Psychologist Sandi M ann at the University o f Central Lancashire, UK, goes further.
‘All emotions are there for a reason, including boredom,’ she says. Mann has found that
being bored makes us more creative. ‘W e’re all afraid o f being bored but in actual fact it
can lead to all kinds o f amazing things,’ she says. In experiments published last year, Mann
found that people who had been made to feel bored by copying numbers out of the phone
book for 15 minutes came up with more creative ideas about how to use a polystyrene cup
than a control group. Mann concluded that a passive, boring activity is best for creativity
because it allows the mind to wander. In fact, she goes so far as to suggest that we should
seek out more boredom in our lives.
D Psychologist John Eastwood at York University in Toronto, Canada, isn’t convinced.
‘If you are in a state o f mind-wandering you are not bored,’ he says. ‘In my view, by
definition boredom is an undesirable state.’ That doesn’t necessarily mean that it isn’t
adaptive, he adds. ‘Pain is adaptive - if we didn’t have physical pain, bad things would
happen to us. Does that mean that we should actively cause pain? No. But even if boredom
has evolved to help us survive, it can still be toxic if allowed to fester.’ For Eastwood, the
central feature o f boredom is a failure to put our ‘attention system’ into gear. This causes an
inability to focus on anything, which makes time seem to go painfully slowly. What’s more,
your efforts to improve the situation can end up making you feel worse. ‘People try to
connect with the world and if they are not successful there’s that frustration and irritability,’
he says. Perhaps most worryingly, says Eastwood, repeatedly failing to engage attention can
lead to a state where we don’t know what to do any more, and no longer care.
g Eastwood’s team is now trying to explore why the attention system fails. It’s early
days but they think that at least some of it comes down to personality. Boredom proneness
has been linked with a variety o f traits. People who are motivated by pleasure seem to suffer
particularly badly. Other personality traits such as curiosity are associated with a high
boredom threshold. More evidence that boredom has detrimental effects comes from studies
o f people who are more or less prone to boredom. It seems those who bore easily face
poorer prospects in education, their career and even life in general. But o f course, boredom
itself cannot kill - it’s the things we do to deal with it that may put us in danger. What can
we do to alleviate it before it comes to that? Goetz’s group has one suggestion. Working
with teenagers, they found that those who ‘approach’ a boring situation - in other words,
see that it’s boring and get stuck in anyway - report less boredom than those who try to
avoid it by using snacks, TV or social media for distraction.
p Psychologist Francoise Wemelsfelder speculates that our over-connected lifestyles
might even be a new sources o f boredom. ‘In modem human society there is a lot o f
overstimulation but still a lot o f problems finding meaning,’ she says. So instead o f seeking
yet more mental stimulation, perhaps we should leave our phones alone, and use boredom
to motivate us to engage with the world in a more meaningful way.

1 There are three different kinds o f bum s: first-degree, two-degree, and
2 third-degree bums. Each type o f bum s requires a different type o f medical
3 treatm ent. The less serious bum is the first-degree bum . This bum causes the
4 skin to turn red but does not cause blistering. A m ild sunburn is a good
5 example o f a first-degree bum , and unlike a m ild sunburn, first-degree bums
6 generally do not require medical treatm ent another than gently cooling the
7 burned skin with ice or cold tap water. Second-degree bum s, on the other hand,
8 do cause blistering o f the skin and should be treated immediately. These bums
9 should be immersed in warm w ater and then wrapped in a sterile dressing or
10 bandage. Third-degree bum s are those that char the skin and turn it black or
11 bum it so deeply that the skin_tums white.- These bum s usually result in direct
12 contact w ith flames and have a great chance o f becoming infected. A ll third-
13 degree bum victim s should be give immediate hospital care. If possible, a

(10 questions x 0.1 p o in t = 1 point)
Psychologists are interested in the reasons why some people like taking part in risky
sports. W hen they studied people who were learning to jum p from a plane w ith a parachute, they
found that the parachutists’ bodies produced large amounts o f tw o horm ones, adrenaline and nor
adrenaline, ju st before they made their jum p.
These hormones help to prepare us for any sudden activity. Adrenaline increases the heart
rate and provides more sugar for the m uscles, w hile nor adrenaline makes us react more quickly.
However, nor adrenaline also stim ulates the part o f the brain w hich controls feelings o f pleasure.
Some psychologists have concluded that it is a feeling o f pleasure caused by this hormone that
makes certain people want to participate in dangerous sports.
A nother possible reason is the level o f arousal in part o f the brain. A ccording to some
psychologists, the brain tries to m aintain a certain level o f arousal. They believe that people who
norm ally have a low level o f arousal look for excitem ent and new experiences in order to
stim ulate them selves, whereas people who usually have a high level o f arousal try to avoid risks
and unfam iliar situations in order not to become over excited. I f the psychologists are right, people
with a low arousal are the ones who enjoy participating in dangerous sports and activities.
It is thought that people w ith low levels o f arousal have a slow er-reacting nervous system
than people w ith higher arousal levels. It may therefore be possible to find out your level o f
arousal by testing your nervous system. A quick way o f doing this is to put some lemon juice on
your tongue. I f you produce a lot o f saliva, your nervous system has been affected by the lemon
and so you probably have a high level o f arousal. I f you produce little saliva, you probably have a
low arousal level. If you have a low level, you m ight enjoy taking part in risky sports. However,
this does not m ean that you have to try parachuting!

Am erica w as forced to trade only with England if it did not have the money to buy products from

W hy being bored is stim ulating - an d useful, too
The most common o f emotions is turning out to be more interesting than we thought
A W e all know how it feels - it’s im possible to keep your m ind on anything, tim e
. stretches out, and all the things you could do seem equally unlikely to m ake you feel better.
B ut defining boredom so that it can be studied in the lab has proved difficult. For a start, it
can include a lot o f other m ental states, such as frustration, apathy, depression and
indifference. There isn’t even agreement over w hether boredom is always a low-energy, flat
kind o f emotion or w hether feeling agitated and restless counts as boredom , too. In his
book, Boredom: A Lively H istory, Peter Toohey at the U niversity o f Calgary, Canada,
compares it to disgust - an emotion that m otivates us to stay aw ay from certain situations.
‘I f disgust protects humans from infection, boredom m ay protect them from “infectious”
social situations,’ he suggests.
B B y asking people about their experiences o f boredom, Thomas Goetz and his team at
the University o f Konstanz in Germany have recently identified five distinct types:
indifferent, calibrating, searching, reactant, and apathetic. These can be plotted on two
axes - one running left to right, which measures low to high arousal, and the other from top

j D i Tieng Anh - Chuyen Anh - Trang 6/10

 to bottom , which m easures how positive or negative the feeling is. Intriguingly, Goetz has
found that while people experience all kinds o f boredom, they tend to specialise in one. O f
the five types, the m ost damaging is ‘reactant’ boredom w ith its explosive com bination o f
high arousal and negative emotion. The most useful is w hat Goetz calls ‘indifferent’
boredom: someone isn ’t engaged in anything satisfying but still feels relaxed and calm.
However, it remains to be seen w hether there are any character traits that predict the kind o f
boredom each o f us m ight be prone to.
C Psychologist Sandi M ann at the University o f Central Lancashire, UK, goes further.
‘A ll emotions are there for a reason, including boredom,’ she says. M ann has found that
being bored makes us more creative. ‘W e’re all afraid o f being bored but in actual fact it
can lead to all kinds o f amazing things,’ she says. In experiments published last year, M ann
found that people who had been made to feel bored by copying numbers out o f the phone
book for 15 m inutes came up w ith more creative ideas about how to use a polystyrene cup
than a control group. M ann concluded that a passive, boring activity is best for creativity
because it allows the mind to wander. In fact, she goes so far as to suggest that w e should
seek out more boredom in our lives.
E) Psychologist John Eastwood at York University in Toronto, Canada, isn’t convinced.
‘I f you are in a state o f mind-wandering you are not bored,’ he says. ‘In m y view , by
definition boredom is an undesirable state.’ That doesn’t necessarily mean th a t it isn’t
adaptive, he adds. ‘Pain is adaptive - if w e didn’t have physical pain, bad things would
happen to us. Does that mean that we should actively cause pain? No. B ut even i f boredom
has evolved to help us survive, it can still be toxic if allowed to fester.’ For Eastw ood, the
central feature o f boredom is a failure to put our ‘attention system ’ into gear. This causes an
inability to focus on anything, w hich makes tim e seem to go painfully slowly. W hat’s more,
your efforts to im prove the situation can end up making you feel worse. ‘People try to
connect w ith the w orld and if they are not successful there’s that frustration and irritability,’
he says. Perhaps m ost worryingly, says Eastwood, repeatedly failing to engage attention can
lead to a state where w e don’t know what to do any more, and no longer care.
E Eastwood’s team is now trying to explore why the attention system fails. It’s early
days but they think that at least some o f it comes down to personality. Boredom proneness
has been linked w ith a variety o f traits. People who are m otivated by pleasure seem to suffer
particularly badly. O ther personality traits such as curiosity are associated w ith a high
boredom threshold. M ore evidence that boredom has detrim ental effects comes from studies
o f people who are m ore or less prone to boredom. It seems those who bore easily face
poorer prospects in education, their career and even life in general. B ut o f course, boredom
itse lf cannot kill - it’s the things we do to deal w ith it that m ay put us in danger. W hat can
we do to alleviate it before it comes to that? Goetz’s group has one suggestion. W orking
w ith teenagers, they found that those who ‘approach’ a boring situation - in other words,
see that it’s boring and get stuck in anyway - report less boredom than those w ho try to
avoid it by using snacks, TV or social m edia for distraction.
p Psychologist Francoise W em elsfelder speculates that our over-connected lifestyles
m ight even be a new sources o f boredom. ‘In m odem human society there is a lot o f
overstim ulation but still a lot o f problems finding m eaning,’ she says. So instead o f seeking
yet more m ental stim ulation, perhaps we should leave our phones alone, and use boredom
to motivate us to engage w ith the world in a more m eaningful way.
