Câu 3:

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 3 to 9.

        Most people can remember a phone number for up to thirty seconds. When this short amount of time elapses, however, the numbers are erased from the memory. How did the information get there in the first place? Information that makes its way to the short term memory (STM) does so via the sensory storage area. The brain has a filter which only allows stimuli that is of immediate interest to pass on to the STM, also known as the working memory.

        There is much debate about the capacity and duration of the short term memory. The most accepted theory comes from George A. Miller, a cognitive psychologist who suggested that humans can remember approximately seven chunks of information. A chunk is defined as a meaningful unit of information, such as a word or name rather than just a letter or number. Modern theorists suggest that one can increase the capacity of the short term memory by chunking, or classifying similar information together. By organizing information, one can optimize the STM, and improve the chances of a memory being passed on to long term storage.

        When making a conscious effort to memorize something, such as information for an exam, many people engage in "rote rehearsal". By repeating something over and over again, one is able to keep a memory alive. Unfortunately, this type of memory maintenance only succeeds if there are no interruptions. As soon as a person stops rehearsing the information, it has the tendency to disappear. When a pen and paper are not handy, people often attempt to remember a phone number by repeating it aloud. If the doorbell rings or the dog barks to come in before a person has the opportunity to make a phone call, he will likely forget the number instantly. Therefore, rote rehearsal is not an efficient way to pass information from the short term to long term memory. A better way is to practice "elaborate rehearsal". This involves assigning semantic meaning to a piece of information so that it can be filed along with other pre-existing long term memories.

          Encoding information semantically also makes it more retrievable. Retrieving information can be done by recognition or recall. Humans can easily recall memories that are stored in the long term memory and used often; however, if a memory seems to be forgotten, it may eventually be retrieved by prompting. The more cues a person is given (such as pictures), the more likely a memory can be retrieved. This is why multiple choice tests are often used for subjects that require a lot of memorization.

According to the passage, how do memories get transferred to the STM?

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 30 to 37.

        The Arts and Crafts Movement in the United States was responsible for sweeping changes in attitudes toward the decorative arts, then considered the minor or household arts. Its focus on decorative arts helped to induce United States museums and private collectors to begin collecting furniture, glass, ceramics, metalwork, and textiles in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The fact that artisans, who were looked on as mechanics or skilled workers in the eighteenth century, are frequently considered artists today is directly attributable to the Arts and Crafts Movement of the nineteenth century. The importance now placed on attractive and harmonious home decoration can also be traced to this period, when Victorian interior arrangements were revised to admit greater light and more freely flowing spaces.

        The Arts and Crafts Movement reacts against mechanized processes that threatened handcrafts and resulted in cheapened, monotonous merchandise. Founded in the late nineteenth century by British social critics John Ruskin and William Morris, the movement revered craft as a form of art. In a rapidly industrializing society, most Victorians agreed that art was an essential moral ingredient in the home environment, and in many middle- and working-class homes craft was the only form of art. Ruskin and his followers criticized not only the degradation of artisans reduced to machine operators, but also the impending loss of daily contact with handcrafted objects, fashioned with pride, integrity, and attention to beauty.

        In the United States as well as in Great Britain, reformers extolled the virtues of handcrafted objects: simple, straightforward design; solid materials of good quality; and sound, enduring construction techniques. These criteria were interpreted in a variety of styles, ranging from rational and geometric to romantic or naturalistic. Whether abstract, stylized, or realistically treated, the consistent theme in virtually all Arts and Crafts design is nature.

          The Arts and Crafts Movement was much more than a particular style; it was a philosophy of domestic life. Proponents believed that if simple design, high-quality materials, and honest construction were realized in the home and its appointments, then the occupants would enjoy moral and therapeutic effects. For both artisan and consumer, the Arts and Crafts doctrine was seen as a magical force against the undesirable effects of industrialization.

The passage primarily focuses on nineteenth century arts and crafts in terms of which of the following?

Tạm dịch:  Những thay đổi về nghệ thuật và thủ công còn hơn cả một thể loại nhất định, nó là lí luận về cuộc sống gia đình.

Dịch bài đọc: Phong trào Nghệ thuật và Thủ công ở Hoa Kỳ đã gây ra sự thay đổi hang loạt về thái độ đối với nghệ thuật trang trí, sau đó được coi là nghệ thuật nhỏ hoặc nghệ thuật gia đình. Sự tập trung của nó vào nghệ thuật trang trí đã giúp thúc đẩy các viện bảo tàng và nhà sưu tập tư nhân Hoa Kỳ bắt đầu thu thập đồ nội thất, thủy tinh, gốm sứ, đồ kim loại và dệt may vào cuối thế kỷ XIX và đầu thế kỷ XX. Việc các nghệ nhân, những người được coi là thợ cơ khí hoặc công nhân lành nghề trong thế kỷ thứ mười tám, thường được coi là nghệ sĩ ngày nay là do trực tiếp của Phong trào Nghệ thuật và Thủ công của thế kỷ XIX. Tầm quan trọng bây giờ được đặt vào trang trí nhà hấp dẫn và hài hòa cũng có thể được bắt nguồn từ thời kỳ này, khi các sắp xếp nội thất của Victoria đã được sửa đổi để thừa nhận ánh sáng lớn hơn và không gian thoải mái hơn.

Phong trào Nghệ thuật và Thủ công phản ứng chống lại các quá trình cơ giới hóa đe dọa thủ công và dẫn đến hàng hóa đơn điệu, rẻ tiền. Được thành lập vào cuối thế kỷ XIX bởi các nhà phê bình xã hội Anh John Ruskin và William Morris, phong trào tôn sùng thủ công như một hình thức nghệ thuật. Trong một xã hội công nghiệp hóa nhanh chóng, hầu hết người dân Victoria đều đồng ý rằng nghệ thuật là một thành phần đạo đức thiết yếu trong môi trường gia đình, và trong nhiều nghề thủ công của tầng lớp trung lưu và lao động là hình thức nghệ thuật duy nhất. Ruskin và những người ủng hộ ông chỉ trích không chỉ sự xuống cấp của các nghệ nhân thành những người vận hành máy móc, mà còn là sự mất liên lạc hàng ngày với các đồ vật thủ công, thời trang với sự tự hào, liêm chính và chú ý đến cái đẹp.

Ở Hoa Kỳ cũng như ở Vương quốc Anh, các nhà cải cách đã thể hiện những ưu điểm của các đồ vật thủ công: thiết kế đơn giản, đơn giản; vật liệu rắn chất lượng tốt; và âm thanh, kỹ thuật xây dựng bền bỉ. Những tiêu chí này đã được diễn giải theo nhiều phong cách khác nhau, từ hợp lý và hình học đến lãng mạn hoặc tự nhiên. Cho dù trừu tượng, cách điệu hay được xử lý thực tế, chủ đề nhất quán trong hầu như tất cả các thiết kế Nghệ thuật và Thủ công là tự nhiên.

Phong trào Nghệ thuật và Thủ công không chỉ là một phong cách cụ thể; đó là một triết lý của cuộc sống trong nước. Những người đề xuất tin rằng nếu thiết kế đơn giản, vật liệu chất lượng cao và xây dựng trung thực được thực hiện trong nhà và các cuộc hẹn của nó, thì người cư ngụ sẽ được hưởng các hiệu ứng đạo đức và trị liệu. Đối với cả nghệ nhân và người tiêu dùng, học thuyết Nghệ thuật và Thủ công được coi là một lực lượng kỳ diệu chống lại các tác động không mong muốn của công nghiệp hóa.

Những sinh viên này thường có động lực cao và làm việc rất chăm chỉ. Những sinh viên trẻ hơn thường được cho là lười biếng và bất cẩn về tiền bạc nhưng tình trạng này đang thay đổi. Ở Anh, việc giảm sự hỗ trợ của chính phủ cho giáo dục đại học có nghĩa là sinh viên không còn có thể dựa vào việc chi trả cho họ. Trước đây, sinh viên nhận được một khoản trợ cấp cho chi phí sinh hoạt của họ. Bây giờ, hầu hết chỉ có thể nhận được một khoản vay và phải được trả lại. Kể từ năm 1999, họ đã trả hơn 1.000 bảng cho học phí và số tiền này sẽ tăng lên đến một con số tối đa là 3.000 bảng. Ở Mỹ, sinh viên phải trả tiền học phí và tiền phòng.
