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.
In our busy, stress-filled modern times, how do people meet their life partner In Britain, over 50% of single adults think that online dating provides the answer. Internet dating sites have become the most popular way to meet people. But is the Internet the ideal way to find their true love? The dating agencies think so. They are using science in an attempt to match people more closely with suitable partners. In the past, dating agencies just used a simple personality profile, and a hobbies and interests questionnaire to put people together. Now, however, more and more of them are using psychometric tests. These detailed psychological questionnaires were developed by scientists at the beginning of the twentieth century to recruit good spies for the First World War. Later they were used in business to find the right people for the right jobs. And now online dating agencies are using the same techniques. If you logged on to a dating agency today, you might have to answer over 200 questions about yourself and the kind of person you would like to meet. It would take a very long time.
But does it work? Yes, says Dr Tan Fellowes, a senior research scientist at one of the most popular agencies. It allows us to match people far more closely with compatible partners, so that there is a greater chance of success. So how does it work in real life? Here are two people's stories. Cathy is an attractive fitness instructor. "I was working long hours and wasn't meeting man that I was interested in, so I joined a dating agency," says Cathy. "I was matched with several men and one of them was David. When I first met him I wasn't impressed. But as we started talking, I discovered that we had a huge amount in common. I liked his attitude to life and the way he talked, and I realized that I really liked him. So, as a fitness instructor, I told him he had to get in shape!" Seven months later, Cathy and David got married. "And now I think he is the most gorgeous man in the world!" she says. Simon's experience was different. "I wanted a serious relationship and a friend suggested online dating. I had some very pleasant dates with some nice women and had a good time. All of them shared my interested film and travel, some were compatible, but there just wasn't that sparked of attraction. It was strange."
Dr Sarah Kenton agrees. She is the author of How to meet your Soulmate. She says, "Psychometric od testing is useful, but can't take account of attraction for someone because they have something you haven't got." As the old saying goes, "Opposites attract." So, perhaps science can help you find your perfect partner, but sometimes it's just down to chemistry.

Dịch nghĩa:
“Đọc đoạn văn sau và đánh dấu chữ cái A, B, C hoặc D trên phiếu trả lời của bạn để chỉ ra câu trả lời đúng cho mỗi câu hỏi.
Trong thời hiện đại bận rộn và đầy căng thẳng của chúng ta, làm thế nào để mọi người gặp được bạn đời của mình? Ở Anh, hơn 50% người trưởng thành độc thân nghĩ rằng hẹn hò trực tuyến sẽ mang lại câu trả lời. Các trang web hẹn hò trên Internet đã trở thành cách phổ biến nhất để gặp gỡ mọi người. Nhưng liệu Internet có phải là cách lý tưởng để tìm thấy tình yêu đích thực của họ? Các công ty hẹn hò nghĩ như vậy. Họ đang sử dụng khoa học nhằm cố gắng kết nối mọi người chặt chẽ hơn với những đối tác phù hợp. Trước đây, các công ty hẹn hò chỉ sử dụng hồ sơ cá nhân đơn giản và bảng câu hỏi về sở thích và sở thích để ghép mọi người lại với nhau. Tuy nhiên, hiện nay ngày càng nhiều người trong số họ sử dụng các bài kiểm tra tâm lý. Những bảng câu hỏi tâm lý chi tiết này được các nhà khoa học phát triển vào đầu thế kỷ XX để tuyển mộ những điệp viên giỏi cho Thế chiến thứ nhất. Sau đó, chúng được sử dụng trong kinh doanh để tìm đúng người cho đúng việc. Và hiện nay các công ty hẹn hò trực tuyến đang sử dụng kỹ thuật tương tự. Nếu hôm nay bạn đăng nhập vào một công ty hẹn hò, bạn có thể phải trả lời hơn 200 câu hỏi về bản thân và mẫu người mà bạn muốn gặp. Nó sẽ mất một thời gian rất dài.
Nhưng nó có hoạt động không? Đúng vậy, Tiến sĩ Tan Fellowes, một nhà khoa học nghiên cứu cấp cao tại một trong những cơ quan nổi tiếng nhất cho biết. Nó cho phép chúng tôi kết nối mọi người chặt chẽ hơn với các đối tác tương thích để có cơ hội thành công cao hơn. Vậy nó hoạt động như thế nào trong cuộc sống thực? Đây là câu chuyện của hai người. Cathy là một huấn luyện viên thể hình hấp dẫn. Cathy nói: “Tôi đã làm việc nhiều giờ và không gặp được người đàn ông mà tôi quan tâm, vì vậy tôi đã gia nhập một công ty hẹn hò”. "Tôi được ghép với một số người đàn ông và một trong số họ là David. Khi gặp anh ấy lần đầu, tôi không có ấn tượng gì. Nhưng khi bắt đầu nói chuyện, tôi phát hiện ra rằng chúng tôi có rất nhiều điểm chung. Tôi thích thái độ của anh ấy với cuộc sống và mọi việc." cách anh ấy nói chuyện, và tôi nhận ra rằng tôi thực sự thích anh ấy, vì vậy, với tư cách là một huấn luyện viên thể hình, tôi đã nói với anh ấy rằng anh ấy phải tập thể dục lại!" Bảy tháng sau, Cathy và David kết hôn. "Và bây giờ tôi nghĩ anh ấy là người đàn ông đẹp nhất thế giới!" cô ấy nói. Trải nghiệm của Simon thì khác. "Tôi muốn có một mối quan hệ nghiêm túc và một người bạn gợi ý hẹn hò trực tuyến. Tôi đã có những cuộc hẹn hò rất vui vẻ với một số phụ nữ tốt bụng và có khoảng thời gian vui vẻ. Tất cả họ đều chia sẻ sở thích về bộ phim và chuyến du lịch của tôi, một số thì hợp nhau, nhưng không phải vậy." có sức hấp dẫn lạ lùng.
Tiến sĩ Sarah Kenton đồng ý. Cô ấy là tác giả của cuốn Làm thế nào để gặp được người bạn tâm giao của bạn. Cô ấy nói, "Kiểm tra tâm lý od rất hữu ích, nhưng không thể tính đến sự hấp dẫn đối với ai đó vì họ có thứ mà bạn không có." Như người xưa vẫn nói, "Sự đối lập sẽ thu hút". Vì vậy, có lẽ khoa học có thể giúp bạn tìm được người bạn đời hoàn hảo của mình, nhưng đôi khi điều đó chỉ phụ thuộc vào hóa học.
