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.A small but iỉrowing group of scholars, evolutionary psychologists, are beginning to sketch the contours of the human mind as designed by natural selection. Some of them even anticipate the coming of a field called “mismatch theory”, which would study maladies resulting from contrasts between the modern environment and the “ancestral environment” - the one we were designed for. There is no shortage of such maladies to study. Rates of depression have been doubling in some industrial countries roughly every 10 years. Suicide is the third most common cause of death amona young adults, after car wrecks and homicides.Evolutionary psychology is a long way from explaining all this with precision, but it is already shedding enough light to challenge some conventional wisdom. It suggests, for example, that the nostalgia for the nuclear family of the 1950s is in some way misguided - that the model family of husband at work and wife at home is hardly a “natural” and the healthful living arrangement, especially for the wives. Moreover, the bygone lifestyles that do look fairly natural in light of evolutionary psychology appear to have been eroded largely by commercialism. Perhaps the biggest surprise from evolutionary psychology is its depiction of the “animal” in us. Freud, and various thinkers since, saw “civilization” as an oppressive force that thwarts basic mimal instincts, then urges and transmutes them into psychopathology. However, evolutionary psychology suggests that a larger threat to mental health may be the way civilization thwarts civility. There is a gentler, kinder side of human nature, and it seems increasingly to be a victim of repression in modern society.Notes:-                      malady (n): a serious problem (một vấn đề nghiêm trọng).-                      homicide (n): hành động giết người.-                      nostalgia (n): nỗi luyến tiếc quá khứ, lòng hoài cổ.-                     evolutionary psychology (n): tâm lí học tiến hóa.-                      transmute (v): chuyển hóa, biến đổi bản chất.-                      thwart (v): càn trở.

Your teacher gives you the following brochure about crime. Read the information and answer the questions. How to Avoid Being Mugged          A surprisingly large number of people have had first-band experience of some sort of crime in the streets, the most common of which is mugging. In the city of Chicago alone, there are about 6,000 muggings every year. Here are some tips in order to avoid joining the growing list of people who have been mugged.          How can a mugger be spotted?          Be wary of loiterers who seem to be window shopping or who aren’t really doing anything. Muggers need time to find the right victim, so they neither hide nor walk very quickly. They often ask for spare change or what the time is. These are tricks to distract their victims, and also to figure out if you have any expensive jewellery or items worth stealing. Finally, be suspicious of anyone who is wearing clothing which hides their identity, such as a hooded jacket.          What kind of victims do muggers search for?          Muggers love solitary individuals, so be sure to stay where the people are. Avoid empty streets and alleyways, and whenever possible, try to walk with a friend. Walk confidently and take long steps. Muggers do not like people who are relaxed and seem sure of themselves. It is also a good idea to look a potential mugger in the eye, for the same reason. However, if the mugger is an aggressive type, establishing eye contact may backfire, as he/she might see it as a challenge. So if your confident look is met with an angry stare, be the first to look away. Lastly, do not dress in a way that makes you stand out. If you are a tourist, try to dress like a local.          What can you do if you realize you are a target?          It is sometimes a good idea to act unpredictably, perhaps by acting crazy or shouting. If there are people around, shouting “Fire!” is more effective than “Help!”. However, in the majority of cases muggers carry dangerous weapons, so it’s probably safer to go along with their demands. If a mugger forces you into your car, you will probably be told to drive to an ATM and withdraw cash. Don’t worry, though, because most banks will refund any money withdrawn while being robbed if you report the incident to the police.
