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 44 to 50.
For Sean O'Brien, it was just an ordinary night out with friends. He knew that people sometimes mocked him for being overweight, and he was usually able to shrug it off. But this time, as well as laughing at him in person, someone decided to publicly fat-shame him by posting a video of him dancing online, with a hurtful comment. Sean was completely unaware of it, but the post about him was shared widely, and it prompted a wave of abuse from immature Internet trolls.
However, as well as the cyberbullies, other people were watching. A group of women in California, who were campaigning to encourage people to have a positive body image whatever their size, decided to take action. They put out a message on Twitter, inviting Sean on an all-expenses- paid trip from London to Los Angeles, to meet and dance with them. When Sean's friends first told him about the search for 'dancing man', he figured it was a bit of nonsense which would soon blow over, and decided not to bother doing anything about it.
But the movement got bigger and bigger. Sean rethought his decision, made contact, and the women - all 1,700 of them - started raising money to throw him an extra-special party in LA. He went to the party in California. Sean had assumed that just a few people would turn up, but he realised his mistake as soon as he saw over 1,000 people queuing to get into the nightclub! Sean danced all night and the story of how he and the women's group in California took a stance against cyberbullying was reported around the world. As a result of the event, some of the women set up Dance Free Movement, an online forum where anyone who felt they had been bullied or victimised could receive support. The 'dancing man' himself has become a fundraiser for several anti-bullying charities.
Sean commented in an interview at the time that he was amazed that something which started out so badly, had become such a positive movement. He said that he had actually never really thought about the people who posted the original images, concluding that they must have their own insecurities, to put the spotlight on someone else so maliciously. Sean certainly had the last laugh. We are often told that the best idea is not to give bullies any attention, but it may be that the best way to deal with cyberbullying is to act as these women did and be brave enough to make it clear that we are uncomfortable with this kind of behaviour, that we disagree with what is being said and that bullying is completely unacceptable.

Đối với Sean O'Brien, đó chỉ là một buổi tối đi chơi bình thường với bạn bè. Anh ấy biết rằng đôi khi mọi người chế giễu anh ấy vì thừa cân và anh ấy thường có thể nhún vai. Nhưng lần này, ngoài việc trực tiếp cười nhạo anh ấy, ai đó còn quyết định công khai làm anh ấy xấu hổ bằng cách đăng một đoạn video quay cảnh anh ấy nhảy lên mạng kèm theo một bình luận gây tổn thương. Sean hoàn toàn không biết về điều đó, nhưng bài đăng về anh ấy đã được chia sẻ rộng rãi và nó đã gây ra một làn sóng lạm dụng từ những kẻ troll Internet non nớt.
Tuy nhiên, cũng như những kẻ bắt nạt trên mạng, những người khác cũng đang theo dõi. Một nhóm phụ nữ ở California, những người đang vận động để khuyến khích mọi người có hình ảnh cơ thể tích cực bất kể kích thước cơ thể của họ, đã quyết định hành động. Họ đưa ra một tin nhắn trên Twitter, mời Sean tham gia một chuyến đi được đài thọ toàn bộ chi phí từ London đến Los Angeles để gặp gỡ và khiêu vũ cùng họ. Khi bạn bè của Sean lần đầu tiên nói với anh ấy về việc tìm kiếm 'người đàn ông khiêu vũ', anh ấy nghĩ rằng đó là một điều vô nghĩa và sẽ sớm qua đi, và quyết định không bận tâm làm bất cứ điều gì về nó.
Nhưng phong trào ngày càng lớn hơn. Sean đã suy nghĩ lại về quyết định của mình, liên hệ và những người phụ nữ - tất cả 1.700 người trong số họ - bắt đầu quyên tiền để tổ chức cho anh một bữa tiệc cực kỳ đặc biệt ở LA. Anh ấy đã đi dự tiệc ở California. Sean đã cho rằng sẽ chỉ có một vài người đến, nhưng anh đã nhận ra sai lầm của mình ngay khi nhìn thấy hơn 1.000 người xếp hàng để vào hộp đêm! Sean đã khiêu vũ suốt đêm và câu chuyện về việc anh và nhóm phụ nữ ở California đưa ra lập trường chống lại hành vi bắt nạt qua mạng đã được đưa tin khắp thế giới. Kết quả của sự kiện này là một số phụ nữ đã thành lập Dance Free Movement, một diễn đàn trực tuyến nơi bất kỳ ai cảm thấy mình bị bắt nạt hoặc trở thành nạn nhân đều có thể nhận được hỗ trợ. Bản thân 'người đàn ông khiêu vũ' đã trở thành người gây quỹ cho một số tổ chức từ thiện chống bắt nạt.
Sean đã bình luận trong một cuộc phỏng vấn vào thời điểm đó rằng anh ấy rất ngạc nhiên khi một điều gì đó khởi đầu tồi tệ lại trở thành một phong trào tích cực như vậy. Anh ấy nói rằng anh ấy thực sự chưa bao giờ thực sự nghĩ đến những người đăng những bức ảnh gốc, kết luận rằng họ hẳn phải có nỗi bất an của riêng mình nên mới gây chú ý cho người khác một cách ác ý như vậy. Sean chắc chắn đã có tiếng cười cuối cùng. Chúng ta thường được khuyên rằng cách tốt nhất là không chú ý đến những kẻ bắt nạt, nhưng có lẽ cách tốt nhất để đối phó với nạn bắt nạt trên mạng là hành động như những người phụ nữ này đã làm và đủ dũng cảm để nói rõ rằng chúng ta không thoải mái với kiểu này. về hành vi, rằng chúng ta không đồng ý với những gì được nói và việc bắt nạt là hoàn toàn không thể chấp nhận được.

TẢI VỀRead 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 39 to 43.
Scientists have dreamed for a long time about building a 'flying train' which can float through the air above the tracks. With Maglev technology, their dreams are now a reality. Maglev trains have no wheels. Instead, powerful magnets lift them into the air and push them forward, at speeds of up to 500 km per hour.
As well as speed, Maglev has a number of advantages over other transport systems. The trains are quieter and the journey is smoother because they don't have wheels. They are also greener because they don't use fuel and so create less pollution. Right now there is only one high-speed Maglev train system in the world. It carries passengers from Shanghai city centre to the airport. However, work has started on a new, longer Maglev track in Japan. Trains will go from Tokyo to Nagoya in 40 minutes. But don't expect to ride on it on your next trip to Japan. It won't open until 2027! Then, in 2045, the line will extend to Osaka.
There is one major problem with Maglev technology: it is incredibly expensive to build the tracks. Transport planners predict that the Tokyo to Osaka line will cost 91 billion dollars. The high cost means that Maglev technology probably won't replace other forms of transport in the near future. However, the technology is still in development and somebody might find a cheaper and simpler way to build the tracks. And then, who knows? In the future, some of us might fly to work by train.
