correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS), an experimental technology that involves implanting a pacemaker-like
device in a patient’s brain to send electrical impulses, is a hotly debated subject in the field of medicine. It is
an inherently risky procedure and the exact effects on the human brain aren’t yet fully understood.
But some practitioners believe it could be a way to alleviate the symptoms of depression or even help
treat Alzheimer’s — and now they suspect it could help with drug addiction as well. In a world’s first,
according to the Associated Press, a patient in Shanghai’s Ruijin Hospital had a DBS device implanted in his
brain to treat his addiction to methamphetamine. And the device has had an astonishingly positive effect, the
patient says. “This machine is pretty magical. He adjusts it to make you happy and you’re happy, to make
you nervous and you’re nervous,” he told the Associated Press. “It controls your happiness, anger, grief and
joy.”
Other studies in China have yielded mixed results trying to treat opioid addictions using DBS, according
to the AP. In the United States, at least two studies that tried to treat alcoholism with DBS were dropped for
not being able to justify the risks. The idea of using DBS to treat drug addiction has raised concerns in
medical communities across the globe about brain hemorrhage, seizures, or personality changes.

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 from 36 to 42.
Most parents want their sons and daughters to have equal chances of success when they grow up.
Today, equality of the sexes is largely mandated by public policy and law. However, old- fashioned
ideas and a lot of prejudice are still part of our culture and present challenging questions for parents.
Gender stereotypes are rigid ideas about how boys and girls should behave. We all know what
these stereotypes are: A "feminine" girls should be insecure, accommodating and a little illogical in
her thinking. A "masculine" boy should be strong, unemotional, aggressive, and competitive. How are
children exposed to these stereotypes? According to the researchers David and Myra Sadker of the
American University of Washington, D.C., boys and girls are often treated differently in the
classroom. They found out that when boys speak, teachers usually offer constructive comments, when
girls speech, teachers tend to focus on the behavior. It's more important how the girls act rather than
what they say.
The emphasis on differences begins at birth and continues throughout childhood. For example,
few people would give pink baby's clothes to a boy or a blue blanket to a girl. Later, many of us give girls
dolls and miniature kitchenware, while boys receive action figures and construction sets. There's
nothing wrong with that. The problem arises when certain activities are deemed appropriate for one
sex but not the other. According to Heather J. Nicholson, Ph.D., director of the National Resource Center
3/4 Mã đề 02
for Girls, Inc., this kind of practice prevents boys and girls from acquiring important skills for their
future lives.
"The fact is," says Nicholson, "that society functions as a kind of sorting machine regarding
gender. In a recent survey, fifty-eight percent of eighth-grade girls but only six percent of boys earned
money caring for younger children. On the other hand, twenty-seven percent of boys but only three
percent of girls earned money doing lawn work". If we are serious about educating a generation to be
good workers and parents, we need to eliminate such stereotypes as those mentioned previously.
Gender stereotypes inevitably are passed to our children. However, by becoming aware of the
messages our children receive, we can help them develop ways to overcome these incorrect ideas. To
counteract these ideas, parents can look for ways to challenge and support their children, and to
encourage confidence in ways that go beyond what society's fixed ideas about differences of sext are.
