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. We all know that having a positive outlook on life is good for your mental well-being. However, there is a type of attitude that promotes optimistic thinking to an extreme and unhealthy level by playing down or denying any trace of human emotion that is not happy or positive, and it is called ‘toxic positivity’. Toxic positivity can actually harm people who are going through difficult times. When someone is suffering, they need to know that their negative emotions are valid and that they can find relief and love in their friends and family. But toxic positivity tells people that the negative emotions they are feeling are wrong and they should get rid of or never show them, and this can make people feel more and more stressed and pressured over time. Also, toxic positivity can lead to guilt and shame. For instance, when someone tells you that “happiness is a choice” when you express disappointment or sadness, this suggests that if you are feeling negative emotions, then it is your own fault for not “choosing” to be happy. Furthermore, although this kind of extreme attitude allows us to avoid feeling things that might be painful, it also denies us the opportunities to face challenging feelings that can ultimately lead to mental growth and valuable life lessons. If you’ve been affected by toxic positivity-or if you recognize this kind of behaviour in yourself - there are things that you can do to develop a healthier, more supportive approach. Some ideas include managing your negative emotions but not denying them as well as focusing on listening to others and showing support instead of immediately shutting them down by saying things like “look on the bright side” or “always stay positive” (even if you do not mean to hurt their feelings). (Adapted from verywellmind.com) Question 31: What is the passage mainly about? A. Why positive thinking can actually harm you B. Some basic information about toxic positivity C. How toxic positivity prevents our personal growth D. What we can do when affected by toxic positivity Question 32: The word “it” in paragraph 1 refers to ___. A. type of attitude B. optimistic thinking C. unhealthy level D. human emotion Question 33: According to paragraph 2, how does toxic positivity make people feel more stressed? A. It tells people that their friends and family are not able to help them. B. It makes people think that they should always avoid negative emotions. C. It stops people from knowing whether or not their feelings are valid. D. It gives people the belief that personal emotions should never be shown. Question 34: The word “valid” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ___. A. valuable B. reasonable C. believable D. feasible Question 35: Which of the following statements is NOT supported by the information in the passage? A. People can feel ashamed of themselves as a result of toxic positivity. B. Telling someone that “happiness is a choice” can make them feel guilty. C. Those who are affected by toxic positivity will never grow mentally. D. Saying things like “always stay positive” is an example of toxic positivity. 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. Human beings are naturally creative. But sometimes we struggle with getting started and find inspiration for new ideas. Thankfully, whether you are going to write a novel or compose a song, there are some effective methods you can use to enhance and maintain your creativity. To begin with, if you want to generate a lot of good ideas more often, you need to expose yourself to good ideas, and reading is a great way to do this. But notice that there are two different approaches. Trang 3
4. An efficiency-minded approach would seek out things that directly impact the area you want to improve. For example, you will most likely read a business book if you want to improve your business. Meanwhile, a creativity-minded approach would search across many areas and make connections. While it is hard for a single idea to be original, the combination of a few different ideas is often unique. You can balance these approaches by asking yourself whether it’s more important to have original ideas or useful ones. For useful, read direct. For original, read broad. Creative ideas often come when your attention is more relaxed and when your mind is wandering, because it is often easier to associate more distant ideas in this state. However, this can become a problem because often the moment of thinking of an idea is not the best time to work on it since you are not focused enough. Thus, you should have a system to capture ideas when you have them. For instance, you can have a small notebook and write down whatever ideas you suddenly think of so you will not forget and return to them later. Similarly, you can also use a more elaborate setup like having specific subfolders for different types of ideas. You might have a folder for quotes, concepts, or whatever other ideas you want to encounter in your creative process. One final point worth remembering is that creative acts generally require two different mindsets. The first is a generative flow where you let ideas come to you easily and you don’t look at them too critically. The advantage of this flow is that you create a lot of ideas, and the obvious downside is that a lot of them are bad. The second is a critical flow, where you scrutinize the ideas you’ve made to spot every possible flaw and edit them immediately. Of course, this mindset an often block you from thinking of new ideas because they get rejected too quickly. It is helpful to be aware of these two mindsets so that you can actively and flexibly switch between them depending on whether you need great quantity or high quality.

How Reading Properly Improves Your Creativity D. What To Do To Turn Creative Ideas Into Reality Question 37: In paragraph 2, what do we learn about the two approaches to reading? A. The efficiency-minded approach is very useful for those who want to improve their business B. The creativity-minded approach seeks and connects ideas from various fields of knowledge. C. Ideas that we generate when using the efficiency-minded approach are never original ones. D. Using the creativity-minded approach, we will have more creative but often useless ideas. Question 38: The word “this” in paragraph 2 refers to ___. A. write a novel B. maintain your creativity C. generate good ideas D. expose yourself to good ideas Question 39: The word “elaborate” in paragraph 3 can be best replaced by ___.

We sometimes struggle to come up with ideas despite having a natural creative ability. B. To identify the best reading approach, you should consider the type of idea you are seeking. C. The generative flow allows you to come up with many bad ideas that you can develop later. D. The critical flow is where you try to spot and eliminate weaknesses in your ideas. Question 42: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A. People who do not expose themselves to ideas can never find inspiration for creative ones. B. It is always best to balance between the efficiency-minded and the creativity-minded approach. C. Concepts and quotes are the most common types of creative ideas that people come up with. D. When you need to develop ideas you have already had, you should switch Trang 4
