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 questions
The generation gap that was so in evidence during the 60s has resurfaced, but it is not the disruptive force that it was during the Vietnam era, a 2009 study suggests. The Pew Research Center study found that 79% of Americans see major differences between younger and older adults in the way they look at the world. In 1969, a Gallup Poll found that a smaller percentage, 74%, perceived major differences.
Today, however, although more Americans see generational differences, most do not see them as divisive. That is partly because of the areas of difference. The top areas of disagreement between young and old, according to the Pew Research Study, are the use of technology and taste in music. Grandparents are likely to have observed these differences in their grandchildren who are tweens, teens, and young adults.
If large differences between the generations exist, why don't they spawn conflict? The answer is twofold.
First, the two largest areas of difference—technology and music—are less emotionally charged than political issues. The older generation is likely to be proud of the younger generation's prowess in technology rather than to view it as a problem. As for the musical differences, each generation wants its own style of music, and the older generation generally can relate to that desire.
Second, in the other areas of difference, the younger generation tends to regard the older generation as superior to their own generation—clearly a difference from the 1960s with its rallying cry of "Don't trust anyone over thirty." According to the Pew study, all generations regard older Americans as superior in moral values, work ethic and respect for others.

Cái nào dưới đây có thể là tiêu đề chính cho đoạn văn?
A. Khoảng cách thế hệ không gây ra những vấn đề lớn trong những gia đình ở Mĩ
B. Những quan điểm khác nhau là vấn đề chính giữa các thế hệ ở Mĩ
C. Khoảng cách thế hệ trong quá khứ khác với trong thời hiện đại
D. Những khía cạnh khác nhau trong khoảng cách thế hệ đã thay đổi qua nhiều năm
*Để làm dạng câu hỏi này trước hết cần đọc qua vài câu đầu đoạn văn để hiểu khái quát đề tài bài đọc nói đến.Và nên để câu này làm cuối cùng sau khi đã làm hết những câu hỏi còn lại.
Căn cứ vào những ý chính sau, thông tin ở:
-Đoạn 1: Nêu thực trạng về những con số người Mĩ đã có thể nhìn thấy, nhận thức được những sự khác biệ trong khoảng cách thế hệ
-Đoạn 2: Phản bác lại rằng thực tế ở đoạn 1 không phải là vấn đề mà hầu hết người Mĩ không nhìn đó như một điều gây bất đồng chia rẽ
-> Từ đây tác giả bắt đầu nêu ra lí do mặc dù có sự tồn tại của những khác biệt trong khoảng cách thế hệ, nhưng nó không gây ra bất đồng, mâu thuẫn, có hai lí do chính là hai đoạn cuối…
Như vậy, vấn đề xoay quanh ở đây là việc tồn tại khoảng cách thế hệ nó không là vấn đề ở các gia đình Mĩ.
-Đáp án A: chính xác
-Đáp án B: thông tin đáp án này không được đề cập đến vì bài chỉ nêu đến hai sự khác biệt lớn nhất giữa các thế hệ là “technology” and “music”; không hề nhắc đến yếu tố “different point of views- sự khác nhau trong quan điểm” => Loại
-Đáp án C: đoạn văn không hề nêu ra sự so sánh giữa quá khứ và hiện tại về vấn đề khoảng cách thế hệ. Mà chỉ đơn thuần đưa ra những con số được thống kê, nghiên cứu trong quá khứ nhằm nhấn mạnh mức độ khác biệt là lớn cho đến bây giờ nhưng đó hoàn toàn không là điều gây ra vấn đề…
=>Loại
-Đáp án D: đáp án này sai hoàn toàn về nghĩa =>Loại

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.
