“Các bậc phụ huynh ngày nay muốn con cái mình dành thời gian vào những việc có thể mang lại thành công cho chúng, nhưng trớ trêu thay chúng ta lại không làm một việc đã được chứng minh là yếu tố dự báo thành công và đó chính là công việc nhà.”, Richard Rende, một nhà tâm lý học phát triển ở Thung lũng Paradise, Ariz, và cũng là đồng tác giả của quyển sách sắp ra mắt “Raising Can-Do Kids” nói. Nhiều thập kỷ nghiên cứu cho thấy lợi ích của công việc nhà - về mặt học tập, tình cảm và thậm chí là nghề nghiệp. Giao việc nhà cho con cái từ khi còn nhỏ giúp tạo dựng một ý thức làm chủ, trách nhiệm và tự lực, theo một nghiên cứu của Marty Rossmann, giáo sư danh dự tại đại học Minnesota. Vào năm 2002, Giáo sư Rossmann đã phân tích dữ liệu từ một cuộc nghiên cứu tiến trình, quan sát 84 đứa trẻ trong suốt 4 giai đoạn cuộc đời - trước khi đi học, ở trong độ tuổi từ 10 đến 15, và những năm 20 tuổi. Bà nhận ra rằng những thanh viên bắt đầu làm việc nhà ở tuổi lên 3 và lên 4 có nhiều khả năng có các mối quan hệ tốt đẹp với gia đình và bạn bè, đạt thành công trong học tập và sự nghiệp sớm và tự lập hơn, so với những người không làm việc nhà hay bắt đầu làm việc nhà lúc đã lớn. Việc nhà cũng dạy trẻ em cách cảm thông và phản ứng với nhu cầu của người khác, nhà tâm lý học Richard Weissbourd thuộc trường cao học Harvard nói.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 11 to 15.
Maria Alcalá of Madrid speaks for many Mediterranean people when she says that “a meal without olive oil would be a bore.” No one knows when the Mediterranean civilizations initially fell in love with olives. That occurred before recorded history. However, there is evidence that the cultivation of olive trees began in countries around the Mediterranean Sea in approximately 4000 B.C., and 2,000 years after that people in the eastern Mediterranean region began to produce oil from olives. The Mediterranean still accounts for 99 percent of all world olive oil production.
From ancient times until today, the basic process of producing the oil is the same. First, whole olives are crushed. Then, the liquid is separated from the solids. After that, the valuable oil is separated from the water. Many olive growers maintain their ancient traditions and still harvest the olives by hand. “We harvest in the traditional way,” says Don Celso, an olive farmer from Tuscany, Italy. "It would be less expensive to do it with machines, but it's more a social thing. Twenty people come to help with the harvest, and we pay them in oil."
Olive oil has had a variety of uses through its long history. In ancient times, olive oil was used as money and as medicine. It was even used during war-heated up and dropped down on attackers. It is still used in religious ceremonies. It is great for protecting the freshness of fish and cheese. There are even olive oil lamps and olive oil soaps. Olive oil enhances the lives of people everywhere. Its benefits, recently confirmed by science, were already understood in ancient times. Mediterranean people are happy to share their secret with the world.
