According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A. To make a lot of money, you should not take a job with a low starting salary.
B. To make lots of money, you should rule out all factory jobs.
C. If you want an easy and glamorous lifestyle, you should consider becoming flight attendant.
Đáp án D
Theo như đoạn văn, điều nào dưới đây là đúng?
A. Để kiếm được nhiều tiền, bạn không nên bắt đầu bằng công việc có mức lương thấp
B. Để kiếm được nhiều tiền, bạn nên bỏ qua hết những công việc trong nhà máy
C. Nếu bạn muốn có một cuộc sống sung sướng, huy hoàng, bạn nên xem xét công việc làm một tiếp viên hàng không
D. Cái nhìn đầu tiên của bạn về một công việc có thể không chính xác.
Nhận định D xuất hiện ở đoạn 5 trong câu. Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it.
Đừng bỏ qua bất cứ công việc gì trước khi tìm hiểu kĩ về nó.
Và câu: Remember that many jobs are not what they appear to be at first, and may have merits or demerits that are less obvious - Hãy nhớ rằng rất nhiều công việc không giống như vẻ bề ngoài lúc đầu của nó, và có thể ẩn chứa những điểm tốt và không tốt mà sẽ không nhìn thấy rõ ngay được.
Các đáp án còn lại sai ở chỗ:
Đáp án A ở đoạn 3 có câu “If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its starting wages” Nếu lương cao là quan trọng với bạn thì đừng đánh giá một công việc từ mức lương khởi điểm.
Tác giả nói không nên đánh giá thấp những công việc bắt đầu bằng mức lương không cao nên A sai.
Đáp án B cũng tương tự đáp án A. Vì không nên đánh giá mức lương của công việc từ mức khởi đầu nên việc bỏ qua các công việc ở nhà máy là sai.
Đáp án C tác giả đã đề cập đến sự vất vả của công việc tiếp viên hàng không (tham khảo câu 49) nên không thể nói muốn sống sung sướng thì chọn nghề này. Do đó câu C saiRead 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 first thing to do when you have a trip abroad is to check that your passport is valid. Holders of out-of-date passports are not allowed to travel overseas. Then you can prepare for your trip. If you don't know the language, you can have all kinds of problems communicating with local people. Buying a pocket dictionary can make a difference. You'll be able to order food, buy things in shops and ask for directions. It's worth getting one. Also there's nothing worse than arriving at your destination to find there are no hotels available. The obvious way to avoid this is to book in advance. This can save you money too. Another frustrating thing that can happen is to go somewhere and not know about important sightseeing places. Get a guide book before you leave and make the most of your trip. It's a must.
Then, when you are ready to pack your clothes, make sure they are the right kind. It's no good packing sweaters and coats for a hot country or T-shirts and shorts for a cold one. Check the local climate before you leave.
Also, be careful how much you pack in your bags. It's easy to take too many clothes and then not have enough space for souvenirs. But make sure you pack essentials, what about money? Well, it's a good idea to take some local currency with you but not too much. There are conveniently located cash machines (ATMs) in most big cities, and it's usually cheaper to use them than change your cash in banks. Then you'll have more money to spend. When you are at your destination, other travellers often have great information they are happy to share. Find out what they have to say. It could enhance your travelling experience.
