THE ORIGINS OF DANCE THERAPY

Dance therapy gained professional (51) during the 1940s. It was the inspiration of Marian Chace, who
began teaching dance after her own dancing career (52) to an end in 1930. She noticed that some of
her students were more (53) in the emotions they experienced while dancing than in technique.
(54) by this, Chace encouraged them to explore this aspect, and (55) developing classes that
emphasized (56) of expression through music.

(57) , local doctors started sending her patients, including anti-social children and people with mobility
problems. Later, Chace joined the staff at St Elizabeth’s Hospital, where she worked with emotionally troubled
patients, some of whom were suffering from (58) stress disorders. Success for these patients meant
being able to move rhythmically in (59) with others in their class. Chace went on to study Psychiatry,
and the fact that the first dance therapy interns began learning and teaching dance therapy in the 1950s is
(60) to her tireless dedication.

51. A. standing B. status C. level D. mode

52. A. got B. reached C. came D. arrived
53. A. absorbed B. captivated C. preoccupied D. enthralled
54. A. Intrigued B. Engaged C. Captured D. Occupied

A Nevertheless, it takes time and effort for people to improve their basic level of happiness.
B What’s more, there is evidence that it can even extend your life by up to nine years.
C It can seem profound, whereas happiness is often unfairly linked to superficiality.
D However, it seems that we are surprisingly bad at predicting what will bring us long-term happiness.
E Well, it seems that the exact recipe for this varies from person to person.
F Unfortunately, it isn’t a very profound emotion, and it doesn’t usually last for long.
G But despite this general interest, happiness is still a little-discussed topic in academic circles.
H Prof. Mead thinks that the rest of us should be inspired by this example.
THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS
Professor Clarissa Mead teaches and writes on the subject of happiness.
When I arrive at her office, Professor Mead is watching a Japanese comedy while making lots of notes. At
first this seems a slightly strange thing to do. But Prof. Mead soon reassures me with an explanation. “I’m not
just watching for entertainment – this is part of my work! By investigating the things which bring us
enjoyment, I can learn more about what cheers us up, or brings us down. I’m on a mission to uncover the
secrets of happiness!”
Happiness is a topic that has fired the popular imagination, as demonstrated by the growing market for
personal development books, each promising to bring bliss and fulfilment to our lives. (61) According
to Prof. Mead, depression is still a more fashionable topic in university departments.
“Strangely, I think there’s a certain glamour attached to misery, which is associated with poets and
musicians. (62) This drives me mad, especially when people expect me to have a passion for kittens
and rainbows!”
I observe that her office is very plain and businesslike. “That’s quite deliberate! I want to encourage people
to take my subject more seriously, because in my eyes it is hugely important. Happiness offers us an
impressive array of benefits. For instance, it boosts your confidence, which in turn can help you achieve greater
success. (63) This means it’s almost as essential for your health as exercise and a balanced diet!”
Prof. Mead believes there are three levels of happiness. At the bottom, there’s pleasure, which is the feeling
we get from having fun. However, this type of enjoyment has its downside. (64) So when it passes,
we can feel flat. That’s why some people become thrill-seekers, addicted to pleasure. Not all happiness is
good for us!
The next level is the feeling of intense joy, such as that experienced by lottery winners or newly dating
couples. We often wrongly assume that if only we were wealthy, famous or in love then we could be joyful
forever. (65) In fact, studies have shown that only one year after realising these dreams, our sense of well-
being will have returned to previous levels.
For Prof. Mead, the best and most sustainable form of happiness is contentment, a basic satisfaction with our
lives as a whole. So how do we become content? (66) However, it seems to consist of certain key
ingredients, including living in a pleasant environment and having the freedom to pursue our interests and
ambitions. Our relationships with other people are even more significant – it seems it’s harder to be happy alone!
Close-knit families and communities are both highly valued in Costa Rica, which recently came top in the
Happy Planet Index. The Happy Planet Index rates countries in terms of sustainable well-being. The project
found that Costa Ricans have the highest life satisfaction in the world and high life expectancy, yet are
among the lowest resource consumers on the planet. Despite being a so-called ‘developing’ country, most of
the members of this beautiful and friendly nation enjoyed a very high quality of life. (67) “Living in a
place we love surrounded by people we care about may not seem as exciting as becoming a millionaire, but
it’s more likely to make us happy. Luckily, it’s much more achievable too!”

Part 4: Read the following passage and choose or write the correct answer to each of the questions
68-80. (13 points)
THE KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY
A century ago, the overwhelming majority of people in developed countries worked with their hands: on
farms, in domestic service, in small craft shops and in factories. There was not even a word for people who
made their living other than by manual work. These days, the fastest-growing group in the developed world
is ‘knowledge workers’ – people whose jobs require formal and advanced schooling.
At present, this term is widely used to describe people with considerable theoretical knowledge and learning:
doctors, lawyers, teachers, accountants, chemical engineers. But the most striking growth in the coming
years will be in ‘knowledge technologists’: computer technicians, software designers, analysts in clinical labs,
manufacturing technologists, and so on. These people are as much manual workers as they are knowledge
workers; in fact, they usually spend far more time working with their hands than with their brains. But their
manual work is based on a substantial amount of theoretical knowledge which can be acquired only through
formal education. They are not, as a rule, much better paid than traditional skilled workers, but they see
themselves as professionals. Just as unskilled manual workers in manufacturing were the dominant social and
political force in the twentieth century, knowledge technologists are likely to become the dominant social –
and perhaps also political – force over the next decades.
Such workers have two main needs: formal education that enables them to enter knowledge work in the first
place, and continuing education throughout their working lives to keep their knowledge up to date. For the
old high-knowledge professionals such as doctors, clerics and lawyers, formal education has been available
for many centuries. But for knowledge technologists, only a few countries so far provide systematic and
organised preparation. Over the next few decades, educational institutions to prepare knowledge
technologists will grow rapidly in all developed and emerging countries, just as new institutions to meet new
requirements have always appeared in the past.
What is different this time is the need for the continuing education of already well-trained and highly
knowledgeable adults. Schooling traditionally stopped when work began. In the knowledge society it never
stops. Continuing education of already highly educated adults will therefore become a big growth area in the
next society. But most of it will be delivered in non-traditional ways, ranging from weekend seminars to
online training programmes, and in any number of places, from a traditional university to the student’s home.
The information revolution, which is expected to have an enormous impact on education and on traditional
schools and universities, will probably have an even greater effect on the continuing education of knowledge
workers, allowing knowledge to spread near-instantly, and making it accessible to everyone.
All this has implications for the role of women in the labour force. Although women have always worked,
since time immemorial the jobs they have done have been different from men’s. Knowledge work, on the
other hand, is ‘unisex’, not because of feminist pressure, but because it can be done equally well by both
sexes. Knowledge workers, whatever their sex, are professionals, applying the same knowledge, doing the
same work, governed by the same standards and judged by the same results.
The knowledge society is the first human society where upward mobility is potentially unlimited. Knowledge
differs from all other means of production in that it cannot be inherited or bequeathed from one generation
to another. It has to be acquired anew by every individual, and everyone starts out with the same total
ignorance. And nowadays it is assumed that everybody will be a ‘success’ – an idea that would have seemed
ludicrous to earlier generations. Naturally, only a tiny number of people can reach outstanding levels of
achievement, but a very large number of people assume they will reach adequate levels.
The upward mobility of the knowledge society, however, comes at a high price: the psychological pressures
and emotional traumas of the rat race. Schoolchildren in some countries may suffer sleep deprivation
because they spend their evenings at a crammer to help them pass their exams. Otherwise they will not get
into the prestige university of their choice, and thus into a good job. In many different parts of the world,
schools are becoming viciously competitive. That this has happened over such a short time – no more than
30 or 40 years – indicates how much the fear of failure has already permeated the knowledge society.

Trang 6/9
Given this competitive struggle, a growing number of highly successful knowledge workers of both sexes –
business managers, university teachers, museum directors, doctors – ‘plateau’ in their 40s. They know they
have achieved all they will achieve. If their work is all they have, they are in trouble. Knowledge workers
therefore need to develop, preferably while they are still young, a non-competitive life and community of
their own, and some serious outside interest – be it working as a volunteer in the community, playing in a
local orchestra or taking an active part in a small town’s local government. This outside interest will give them
the opportunity for personal contribution and achievement.
