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 following questions.
A number of factors related to the voice reveal the personality of the speaker.
The first is the broad area of communication, which includes imparting information by use of language, communicating with a group or an individual and specialized communication through performance. A person conveys thoughts and ideas through choice of words, by a tone of voice that is pleasant or unpleasant, gentle or harsh, by the rhythm that is inherent within the language itself, and by speech rhythms that are flowing and regular or uneven and hesitant, and finally, by the pitch and melody of the utterance. When speaking before a group, a person's tone may indicate uncertainty or fright, confidence or calm. At interpersonal levels, the tone may reflect ideas and feelings over and above the words chosen, or may belie them. Here the participant’s tone can consciously or unconsciously reflect intuitive sympathy or antipathy, lack of concern or interest, fatigue, anxiety, enthusiasm or excitement, all of which are.usually discernible by the acute listener. Public performance is a manner of communication that is highly specialized with its own techniques for obtaining effects by voice and /or gesture. The motivation derived from the text, and in the case of singing, the music, in combination with the performer's skills, personality, and ability to create empathy will determine the success of artistic, political, or pedagogic communication.
Second, the voice gives psychological clues to a person's self-image, perception of others, and emotional health. Selfimage can be indicated by a tone of voice that is confident, pretentious, shy, aggressive, outgoing, or exuberant, to name only a few personality traits. Also the sound may give a clue to the facade or mask of that person, for example, a shy person hiding behind an overconfident front. How a speaker perceives the listener's receptiveness, interest, or sympathy in any given conversation can drastically alter the tone of presentation, by encouraging or discouraging the speaker. Emotional health is evidenced in the voice by free and melodic sounds of the happy, by constricted and harsh sound of the angry, and by dull and lethargic qualities of the depressed.
According to the passage, what does a constricted and harsh voice indicate?
A. Lethargy
B. Depression
C. Boredom
D. Anger

Rất nhiều yếu tố liên quan đến giọng nói bộc lộ tính cách của người nói.
Đầu tiên là phạm vi rộng lớn của sự giao tiếp, bao gồm việc truyền đạt thông tin bằng cách sử dụng ngôn ngữ, giao tiếp với nhóm hay một người, và giao tiếp chuyên dụng qua sự trình bày. Một người sẽ truyền đạt những suy nghĩ và ý tưởng thông qua sự lựa chọn từ ngữ, bằng giọng điệu của lời nói dễ chịu hoặc khó chịu, nhẹ nhàng hoặc gay gắt, bằng sự nhịp nhàng vốn có trong bản thân ngôn ngữ, và bằng nhịp điệu của bài phát biểu trôi chảy và bình thường hoặc gồ ghề và do dự, và sau cùng là, bằng cường độ và giai điệu của cách nói. Khi đang nói trước một nhóm, giọng của một người có thể chỉ ra sự bất ổn hoặc sợ hãi, tự tin hoặc bình tĩnh. Ở mức độ giữa các cá nhân, giọng nói có thể phản ánh ý tưởng và cảm xúc bên cạnh những từ ngữ được chọn, hoặc có thể tin chúng. Ở đây, giọng nói của người tham gia có thể cố ý hoặc vô ý phản ánh sự đồng cảm trực giác hoặc ác cảm, thiếu quan tâm hoặc quan tâm, mệt mỏi, lo lắng, hăng hái hay phấn khích, tất cả chúng thường có thể thấy rõ bởi người nghe. Việc trình diễn nơi công cộng là một cách thức giao tiếp được chuyên môn hóa cao với các kĩ thuật riêng của nó để đạt được hiệu quả bằng giọng nói và/ hoặc cử chỉ. Động lực có nguồn gốc từ văn bản, và trong trường hợp ca hát, âm nhạc, trong sự kết hợp với kỹ năng, tính cách và khả năng tạp đồng cảm của người trình bày sẽ xác định sự thành công của việc giao tiếp về nghệ thuật, chính trị hay giáo dục.
Thứ hai, giọng nói đem đến những manh mối tâm lý cho sự tự nhận thức về bản thân, nhận thức của người khác, và tình trạng cảm xúc. Sự tự nhận thức về bản thân có thể được chỉ ra bởi giọng nói tự tin, kiêu căng, nhút nhát, hung hăng, thân mật hoặc hồ hởi, ví dụ một vài nét tính cách đặc trưng. Ngoài ra âm thanh cũng có thể cho thấy manh mối về vẻ bề ngoài và mặt nạ của một người, ví dụ, một người nhút nhát thường ẩn giấu đằng sau vẻ ngoài quá tự tin.
Làm thế nào người nói nắm được sự cảm thụ, sự quan tâm, hoặc sự đồng cảm của người nghe ở bất kỳ mọi cuộc trò chuyện có thể làm thay đổi mạnh mẽ giọng điệu của bài trình bày, bằng cách khuyến khích hoặc không khuyến khích người nói. Tình trạng cảm xúc được chỉ ra trong giọng nói bằng âm thanh mềm mại và du dương của sự hạnh phúc, bằng âm thanh thô và cọc cằn cảu sự tức giận, bằng sự buồn tẻ và lờ phờ của sự chán nản.

Just as you designate and separate your physical workspace, you should be clear about when you’re working and when you’re not. You’ll get your best work done and be most ready to transition back to the office if you stick with your regular hours. Plus, if your role is collaborative, being on the same schedule as your coworkers makes everything much easier.
“The biggest difference between working from home and working in the office is that you are in charge of your environment and have to treat yourself like an employee,” Yurovsky says. This means holding yourself accountable, but also recognizing when enough is enough, just as a good manager might. “If you feel yourself extending your work hours because you are not doing anything in the evening...tell yourself it’s time to put work away, recharge, and start tomorrow with a fresh mind. The work will be there in the morning.”
If you live with other people, this separation is even more critical. Communicate with the people whom you live with to establish boundaries so you can cut down on distractions during the workday—and then disconnect and give the people you care about your full attention. Having a separate time and space to work will allow you to be more present in your home life.
