GOOD NEIGHBOURS

(1) __________ The residents of the village came up with the idea that they
themselves could keep an eye on their neighbours' property while they were
away on holiday. Since then, with the support of the government and police,
more than 50,000 Neighbourhood Watch schemes have been set up all over the
country.
The object of each Watch group is to reduce the opportunities that
criminals have in any particular street or area. Each resident who is a member of
the scheme agrees to call the police whenever they see something suspicious.
Everything is done calmly and discreetly - it is the police who actually check out
each report and investigate what is happening. (2) _______
(3) _______ This is a great deterrent to most burglars and vandals, because
very few of them will take a chance of breaking into someone's house if they
know that there is a high risk of being seen by Neighbours keeping a look-out.
Burglars also know that people who are part of Neighbourhood Watch scheme
are more likely to have fitted good locks to their door and windows.
There's another benefit too. In the time since the Neighbourhood Watch
scheme came into existence, there is growing evidence of a new community
spirit. (4) _______ New friendships are being made, and contact is often
established with old people living on their own, who are often the most
frightened and the most at risk.

A. When a new Neighbourhood Watch scheme is set up in an area the first thing
people notice is the large, brightly coloured Neighbourhood Watch sign.
B. It is bringing people together as never before and encouraging people to care
for each other.
C. The Neighbourhood Watch scheme all started a few years ago in the quiet
village of
Millington after a number of burglaries in the village and the surrounding area.
D. The government is willing to invest more money in the scheme.
E. Residents who are part of the Watch are not supposed to act as police or put
themselves in
any danger.

5. The Neighbourhood Watch scheme in Millington was started _______

A. because the police could not protect people
B. before any others in the country
C. after 50,000 burglaries in the country
D. because some residents wanted to go away for a holiday
6. When members of a Watch group see suspicious individuals, they _______
A. try to frighten them away
B. contact the police
C. try to arrest them
D. call the other member of the Watch group
7. When a new Watch scheme starts in an area,
A. people fit new locks to their doors and windows
B. the police send fewer officers to the area
C. burglars are less likely to break into houses
D. residents put signs on their doors
8. One benefit of Watch schemes is that _______
A. people get to know each other better
B. members of the Watch look after old people
C. different kinds of people are attracted to live in the area
D. old people are no longer frightened of crime
9. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. The scheme is supported by the government.
B. The aim of the scheme is to reduce the crime rate in the village.
C. The person who calls the police will be awarded if a criminal is caught.
D. There is a sign to warn criminals or vandals.
10. In general, the author seems to think that .
A. the police should do more to protect people
B. Watch schemes are not very useful in reducing crime
C. the Neighbourhood Watch schemes have been successful
D. it is hard to have any privacy in a Neighbourhood Watch area.

 THE TWO CULTURES: A PROBLEM FOR THE TWENTY-FIRST
CENTURY?
In 1996 Alan Socal, a physicist at NYU, published an article in Social
Text, a highly respectable American academic journal for cultural studies, using
technical terminology and liberal references to scientists such as Heisenberg and
Bohr, and linguistic theorists such as Derrida and Irigaray. He advanced the
notion that 'post-modern' science had abolished the concept of physical reality.
Once it was published, he announced that it was a hoax. In doing so, and in the
later publication, Intellectual Impostures, with Jean Bricmont, he showed how
many fashionable post-modern theorists of language, literature, sociology, and
psychology had adopted technical language from science to explain their theories
without understanding this terminology, and thus much of what they had written
was, in fact, utterly meaningless. It was the latest controversy in what has
become known as the war between 'the two cultures'.

The term 'the two cultures' was first coined by failed scientist and
(successful) novelist C.P. Snow in an article in the magazine, New Statesman, in
1956, and his discussion of it was extended in one of his lectures to Cambridge
University in 1959, entitled 'The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution'.
The two cultures he identifies are those of the literary academic world of the
humanities and that of the scientific community. In essence, he argues that there
is a gUlf in understanding between the two communities, to the detriment of
science, which is consequently misunderstood and undervalued. There was
considerable backlash, most notably from F.R. Leavis, the giant of literary
criticism of the day, yet this divide between the literary world and the scientific
remains, and is generally perceived as a serious problem.

This is because there is a perception that the general public is mistrustful of

science, with modern developments such as genetic engineering and cloning, not
to mention persistent worries about nuclear physics, Much of this fear, it is
argued, is generated by ignorance in the general population as to what is
involved in the practice of modern science, for if people do not understand what
scientists are doing or thinking, they are unable to engage in any reasonable
debate on these issues. It is surely indicative of how worried the scientific
academic establishment is that in 1995 Oxford University established the Charles
Simonyi Chair of the Public Understanding of Science, with Professor Richard
Dawkins, an evolutionary biologist, becoming the first holder of the post.

The problem of the division between the two cultures, however, is not
restricted to anxiety among scientific academics, it is increasingly being taken
seriously by economists, educationalists and politicians. Their concern is that
there is an imbalance in the number of pupils and students opting to take
qualifications in the arts and humanities, and those choosing the sciences.
Among schoolchildren, sciences are regarded as 'hard', whilst subjects such as
English, history and foreign languages are 'soft' options where it is easier to pass
exams. The upshot of this is a consistent and significant decline in the number of
students applying for science-based courses.
 Furthermore, there is a gender bias involved, which must be addressed if
women are to achieve parity of pay in the future. In February 2006, the UK
Women at Work Commission reported on the pay gap between men and women,
and noted that one cause was career choices made by schoolgirls into low pay
areas such as caring, rather than more lucrative sectors such as engineering or
science. Thus not only is there a problem in enrolment onto science courses in
general, but more specifically there is a significant disparity between the sexes in
the pursuit of science-based careers.

At bottom, however, although efforts can be made to address the question

of equality, it is hard to see what can be done to bridge the divide between the
two cultures, The root of the problem lies in the considerable degree of
specialization required in the study of any subject, art or science. In the past, it
was possible to be a polymath with a foot in both camps: Leonardo da Vinci
could paint the Mona Lisa and design flying machines, and Descartes could write
on a Wide range of subjects from metaphysics to geometry. Nowadays, this is
simply not possible, as it is unfeasible even to consider complete mastery of an
entire subject, and academics increasingly specialize in one or two areas. It is
only necessary to consider that ancient Sumerian military tactics and nineteenth-
century sexual politics, or nanotechnology and dam construction fall respectively
into the categories of history and engineering, to recognize the truth of this. We
must resign ourselves, therefore, to the fact that the two communities will
continue to fail completely to understand each other, and, as progress continues,
the gulf between the two cultures can only increase.

2. Body:
Main idea 1: University entrance examinations help to increase the quality of higher
education.
Main idea 2: Vietnam’s economy viewed from an economic structure full of “theorists” and
short of
“workers”.
Main idea 3: Current Vietnamese universities could not handle such a huge number of students
if
they went to university without passing an entrance exam.
3. Describing chart.
The above line chart presents information on the readership of the three papers in the country of
Totalitariana: Mainstream, Youngster, and Sportsman between 1985 and 2009. A quick glance at the
chart easily helps to figure out different graphic patterns involving the number of readers of these papers.
As can be seen, there was a steady rise in the number of readers of the Sportsman from 6,000 in
1985 to 1,800,000 by 2009. The Mainstream, however, ran downhill all the way by decreasing its reader
numbers to 4,000 in 2009 even though, at the beginning of 1985, this figure was 1,200,000 – not bad at
all. Turning to the Youngster, there were wild fluctuations in its reader numbers over the surveyed period.
During the 1985-1995 period, for instance, the number of Youngster readers dropped significantly from
60,000 to 20,000. However, the next ten years witnessed a fast climb and then Youngster reader numbers
peaked at 250,000 readers in 2005. This figure then went down to 100,000 by the end of 2009.
Data from the above chart clearly shows a shift in reading interests among the people of
Totalitariana towards newspapers reflecting issues related to sports and youth.
