Early birds or night owl
Here we see an early bird and (1) …………… in their natural habitats. The early bird rises with the sun, springing
out of bed abuzz with energy. As the day goes on, they slowly get more and more exhausted until finally crashing
around sunset. Meanwhile, the night owl rises long after the sun, stumbling groggily (2) ……………… After
about 30 minutes— or a cup of coffee— they begin to come to life. But they don’t really hit their stride until later
in the day, at which point they comfortably coast past sunset, only heading to bed in the early hours of the
morning. For many, this is a familiar story, and one that’s easy (3) …………… yourself in. But how many
people are truly night owls or early birds? And are our natural sleep schedules predetermined at birth, or can we
change them?

The truth is there’s a lot of space between (4) …………, and most people fall somewhere in the middle. These
behaviors are determined by our circadian system— which is (5) …………… by a pair of nerve cell
clusters located in the anterior hypothalamus. These nerve cells respond to light exposure coming in through your
eyes to track the day-night cycle that dictates your body’s (6) ………………, or circadian rhythm. That steady
rhythm helps determine the body’s flow of hormones, with the broader circadian system acting like (7)
……………… that keeps your organs functioning in time with one another. And a major part of that performance
is managing the body’s transitions between being awake and being asleep.

Now, (8) ……………… can't just decide its bedtime and knock you out. However, by tracking how much light
you typically get and when in your waking hours you usually get it, the system can make predictions about when
you’re likely to need sleep and prepare your body accordingly. For example, if you (9) ……………… go to
sleep around 10 pm, your circadian system will start producing sleep-inducing melatonin around two hours before
then to tell your body it’s time for bed.
So if this rhythm is molded by (10) ………………, can we change it just by sticking to a strict schedule? To a
degree. Everyone’s bodies are unique, so even two people with the same sleep schedule might have different
experiences based on their circadian system’s hormonal quirks. For example, where early birds generally flood
with cortisol just before waking up, night owls often have their cortisol peak roughly 30 minutes after getting
up. Hormonal differences like these determine how you experience your (11) …………. And while these factors
can shift with age, you’re unlikely to grow out of your body’s preferred sleep schedule.
That said, you can cultivate habits to help or hinder your circadian rhythm. Keeping consistent sleeping hours helps
your body accurately predict when to send out hormones, making it easier to stick to your schedule. Conversely,
research in sleep deprived college students has found their (12) ……………… sleeping habits weaken their
entire circadian system. Compromised circadian rhythms are less effective at coordinating organ functioning and
can incur health risks like metabolic disorders and (13) ………………. But perhaps just as important as sleep
hygiene is light hygiene. Getting sufficient contrast between bright daylight and dimmer nighttime light is essential
for synchronizing your circadian rhythm, and nothing establishes this contrast better than sunlight. Even on (14)
…………… days, sunlight is much brighter than standard indoor lighting. So if you're typically awake during the
day, try getting outside as soon as possible to teach your body when to be active and alert.

It’s difficult to maintain a sleep schedule that pushes against your body’s preferences. And even if you succeed for
months, it only takes (15) ……………… to send your circadian system back to baseline. But whether you’re an
early bird, night owl, or somewhere in between, it’s important to remember that as long as you’re
consistent, there’s no wrong time to wake up or go to sleep. What matters most is getting enough rest for the day
ahead.

Line
1 When a celebrity, a politics or other person in the media spotlight loses their temper in
2 public, they run the risk of hitting the headings in a most embarrassing way. For such
3 uncontrolling outbursts of anger are often triggered by what seem to be trivial matters and, if they
4 are caught on camera, can make the person appear slightly ridiculousness. But it’s not only the
5 rich and famous who is prone to fits of rage. According to recent surveys, ordinary people are
6 increasingly tending to lose their cool in public. Although anger is a potentially destructive
7 emotion that uses up a lot of energy and creates a high level of emotional and physical stress - and
8 it stops us thinking rational. Consequently angry people often end up saying, and doing things they
9 later have cause to regret. So, how can anger be avoided? Firstly, diet and lifestyle may be to
10 blame. Tolerance and irritability certainly come to the surface when someone hasn’t slept properly
11 or has skipped a meal, and any intake of caffeine can make things worst. Take regular exercise can
12 help to ease and diffuse feelings of aggression, however, reducing the chances of an angry
13 response. But if something or someone does make you angry, it’s advisable not to react
14 immediately. Once you’ve calmed down, things won’t look half as badly as you first thought.

Part 3. You are going to read a magazine article about work and holidays. For questions 21-28, choose the
answer (A, B, C or D) which you think fits best according to the text. Write your answers in the
corresponding numbered boxes provided.
You take it for granted that you are a unique person, different from everybody else on Earth, and you understand
that everybody else is also unique. Identical twins are fascinating because they challenge this notion: they are
unique people, of course, but they're also unnervingly similar to each other - and not only in terms of appearance.
They often share opinions, mannerisms and personality traits.

Identical twins are rare, occurring in about three out of every 1,000 births. They seem to occur at random,
regardless of the age or ethnic background of the mother (unlike non-identical twins which are, for example, far
more common among Africans than Asians). Although there may be tiny differences in physical appearances
between two identical twins, which allow family and close friends to tell them apart, they do have exactly the same
DNA. This is because they develop from a single egg which divides in two during the very early stages of
pregnancy.

For scientists, the non-physical similarities between identical twins are the most interesting: are they the result of
growing up together in the same home, or are they the result of their identical DNA? By studying identical twins
who have not grown up together, researchers can see which similarities remain and which disappear. In other
words, they can learn which aspects of a person's identity are determined by genes and which are influenced by the
environment. The Minnesota Twin Study is probably the best-known twin study to date. The study provides
information about how our environment and genes work together to influence everything from attitudes, talents and
abilities, to job selection, to falling in love, to aging and health.

Identical twins Jim Lewis and Jim Springer were only four weeks old when they were separated; each infant was
taken in by a different adoptive family. At age five, Lewis learned that he had a twin, but he said that the idea never
truly 'soaked in' until he was 38 years old. Springer learned of his twin at age eight, but both he and his adoptive
parents believed the brother had died. The two Jims were finally reunited at age 39.

The similarities the twins shared not only amazed one another, but also amazed researchers at the University of
Minnesota. The very fact that both twins were given the same name was a big coincidence. But there's more.
• As youngsters, each Jim had a dog named 'Toy'.
• Each Jim had been married twice - the first wives were both called Linda and the second wives were
both called Betty.
• One Jim had named his son James Allan and the other Jim had named his son James Alan.
• Each twin had driven his light-blue Chevrolet to the same beach in Florida for family vacations.
• Both Jims had at one time held part-time posts as sheriffs.
• Both were fingernail biters and suffered from migraine headaches.

While not as eerily similar as the Jim twins, many more instances of strange likenesses can be found among twins
who were raised apart. For example, identical twins Tom Patterson and Steve Tazumi had very different
upbringings. Raised in a Christian family by two janitors in rural Kansas, Tom still managed to choose the same
career as his brother. Steve, who lives in Philadelphia, was raised in a Buddhist household. Both men own body-
building gyms.
It's obvious from these twins' stories that genetics are a major factor in shaping who we are. In fact, research so far
indicates that characteristics such as personality are mainly related to genes. This means that our character traits as
adults are largely determined before we are born and there is very little that we, or anybody else, can do to change
them.

Part 4. Read the following passage and do the tasks that follow.
Television and Sport
when the medium becomes the stadium
A.
The connection between television and sports is generally perceived as unproblematic. Many view television as
merely a conduit for sports, enabling their playing, replaying, slow-motion analysis, and, naturally, convenient live
transmission to viewers worldwide. Frequently missed, however, is the way television networks have
fundamentally altered the very core of an industry they profess only to represent. Major television broadcasters
quickly capitalized on the lucrative potential of televised sports, and this has transformed every aspect, from the
manner in which sports are conducted to the demographics of their audience.
B.
Prior to television, for instance, experiencing live sporting events necessitated physical presence. For most fans,
unable to afford tickets to premier competitions or the travel necessary to attend them, the sole alternative was
attending local matches, typically involving less prominent teams and lower stakes. Consequently, vibrant social
networks and sporting communities flourished around the endeavors of teams in lower divisions. However, the
arrival of live television made high-profile matches suddenly attainable and accessible to countless new viewers.
This alteration in viewing habits drained support from local clubs, leading to the eventual collapse of many.

Tiếng Anh THPT – Khối 11 6

C.
For those on the more prosperous side of this shift in viewing behaviour, however, the financial rewards are
substantial. Television assisted in derailing long-held concerns in many sports about whether athletes should
remain amateurs or ‘go pro’, and replaced this system with a new paradigm where nearly all athletes are free to
pursue stardom and to make money from their sporting prowess. For the last few decades, top-level sports men and
women have signed lucrative endorsement deals and sponsorship contracts, turning many into multi-millionaires
and also allowing them to focus full-time on what really drives them. That they can do all this without harming
their prospects at the Olympic Games and other major competitions is a significant benefit for these athletes.
D.
The effects of television extend further, however, and in many instances have led to changes in sporting codes
themselves. Prior to televised coverage of the Winter Olympics, for example, figure skating involved a component
in which skaters drew ‘figures’ in the ice, which were later evaluated for the precision of their shapes. This
component translated poorly to the small screen, as viewers found the whole procedure, including the judging of
minute scratches on ice, to be monotonous and dull. Ultimately, figures were scrapped in favour of a short
programme featuring more telegenic twists and jumps. Other sports are awash with similar regulatory shifts -
passing the ball back to the goalkeeper was banned in football after gameplay at the 1990 World Cup was deemed
overly defensive by television viewers.
E.
In addition to insinuating changes into sporting regulation, television also tends to favour some individual sports
over others. Some events, such as the Tour de France, appear to benefit: on television it can be viewed in its
entirety, whereas on-site enthusiasts will only witness a tiny part of the spectacle. Wrestling, perhaps due to an
image problem that repelled younger (and highly prized) television viewers, was scheduled for removal from the
2020 Olympic Games despite being a founding sport and a fixture of the Olympics since 708 BC. Only after a
fervent outcry from supporters was that decision overturned.
F.
Another change in the sporting landscape that television has triggered is the framing of sports not merely in terms
of the level of skill and athleticism involved, but as personal narratives of triumph, shame and redemption on the
part of individual competitors. This is made easier and more convincing through the power of close-up camera
shots, profiles and commentary shown during extended build-ups to live events. It also attracts television audiences
- particularly women - who may be less interested in the intricacies of the sport than they are in broader ‘human
interest’ stories. As a result, many viewers are now more familiar with the private agonies of famous athletes than
with their record scores or matchday tactics.
G.
And what about the effects of male television viewership? Certainly, men have always been willing to watch male
athletes at the top of their game, but female athletes participating in the same sports have typically attracted far less
interest and, as a result, have suffered greatly reduced exposure on television. Those sports where women can draw
the crowds - beach volleyball, for example - are often those where female participants are encouraged to dress and
behave in ways oriented specifically toward a male demographic.
H.
Does all this suggest the influence of television on sports has been overwhelmingly negative? The answer will
almost certainly depend on who among the various stakeholders is asked. For all those who have lost out-lower-
league teams, athletes whose sports lack a certain visual appeal - there are numerous others who have benefitted
enormously from the partnership between television and sports, and whose livelihoods now depend on it.

 BOOK REVIEW
A. The greatest by Daley Thompson, Steward Binns and Tom Lewis
This well-written and informative book may well spark off many discussions as to who the world's greatest sports
star is. It was compiled with the help of Daley Thompson, himself a prime athlete who holds four world records
and is a master of ten different sporting events. One feature of this book is Daley's choice of the highest-ranking
names since 1900. This includes photographs, biographical details and statistics, as well as many lesser-known
facts and even a points-rating system for making your own assessment. Whether you favour Daley himself, or one
of the countless others such as Bobby Moore or Lester Piggott, who are included in this informative book, it is a
highly entertaining and enlightening read.
B. Rare Beasts by Lawrence Alnderson
This beautifully illustrated book details the history of domesti- cated breeds of animals. When completely wild
animals roamed the earth, people began the process of selecting animals that they needed. Some were for food
while others (such as sheep and cattle) also provided clothes and shoes. As society developed and people began
moving between continents such as Europe and Asia, new breeds of animals evolved. At the beginning of this
century there were 230 breeds of cattle in western Europe alone. But by 1988, only thirty breeds of cattle were left
in large numbers, seventy were extinct, fifty-three endangered and the rest greatly reduced. This book celebrates
the survivors with photographs of them taken in an immaculate farmyard. Now all of us can enjoy these beautiful
animals.
C. Glooming, Gossip, and the evolution of language by Robin Bunbar
Psychology professor Robin Dunbar wrote this wonderfully original book, which illustrates the link between early
primate behaviour, such as hair-grooming, and one of our everyday social interactions - gossiping. Professor
Dunbar reinforces his theory with a mass of evidence from fields such as sociology and anatomy. One of Dunbar's
points is that primate brain size varies in proportion to the size of their social group and suggests that efficient
human social groups should number less than 150 people. All in all, this book offers a wealth of thought-
provoking, entertaining reading.
D. Man on the Moon by Andrew Chaikin
This fascinating book contains the most thorough examination of man's greatest adventure yet- the 1969 Apollo trip
to the moon. Chaikin spent years interviewing every surviving astronaut and many other important people who
were involved in the twelve-year programme to put a man on the moon. This book is a combination of biography
and adventure. The life of each astronaut is followed from childhood to the surface of the moon and beyond. The
author has attempted to discover how the experience of visiting another world has changed them. As gripping as
this book is, it lacks an analysis of what the Apollo mission was for or what legacy the mission left. As a story of
human achievement, though, it succeeds brilliantly.
E. The Evils That Man Do by Brian Masters
Brian Masters, the acclaimed author of serial killer Dennis Nilsen's biography, explores the origins of good and evil
in this excellent book. It makes quite depressing reading as he outlines some of man's most outrageously evil acts.
His description of the Holocaust is particularly graphic and the book in general must have been extremely difficult
to write. However, the last section is more uplifting, describing the lives of several of the world's acclaimed
"saints" such as Grand Duchess Ella of Russia and Audrey Hepburn. This change of theme may leave you with the

F. The Sixth Extinction by Rechard Leaky & Rogers Lewin
This work is based on fact and probability, regarding the future of the world as we know it. It clearly points out
how humans are carelessly wrecking the earth and how this continuing disregard could eventually lead to what the
authors call a sixth extinction.
Apparently there have already been five extinctions (the most recent being the disappearance of the dinosaurs) but,
in Leakey's opinion, a possible sixth extinction will be devastating. However, he does point out that this can be
prevented if we take more care of our environment. The clear explanations and interesting facts offered in this book
make it stand out against some of the more mundane environmental
offerings we have seen recently.
