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
Researchers in the field of psychology have found that one of the best ways to make an important decision, such as choosing a university to attend or a business to invest in, involves the utilization of a decision worksheet. Psychologists who study optimization compare the actual decisions made by people to theoretical ideal decisions to see how similar they are. Proponents of the worksheet procedure believe that it will yield optimal results, that is, the best decisions. Although there are several variations on the exact format that worksheets can take, they are all similar in their essential aspects. Worksheets require defining the problem in a clear and concise way and then listing all possible solutions to the problem. Next, the pertinent considerations that will be affected by each decision are listed, and the relative importance of each consideration or consequence is determined. Each consideration is assigned a numerical value to reflect its relative importance. A decision is mathematically calculated by adding these values together. The alternative with the highest number of points emerges as the best decision.
Since most important problems are multifaceted, there are several alternatives to choose from, each with unique advantages and disadvantages. One of the benefits of a pencil and paper decision-making procedure is that it permits people to deal with more variables than their minds can generally comprehend and remember. On average, people can keep about seven ideas in their minds at once. A worksheet can be especially useful when the decision involves a large number of variables with complex relationships. A realistic example for many college students is the question “What will I do after graduation?” A graduate might seek a position that offers specialized training, pursue an advanced degree, or travel abroad for a year.
A decision-making worksheet begins with a succinct statement of the problem that will also help to narrow it. It is important to be clear about the distinction between long-range and immediate goals because long-range goals often involve a different decision than short-range ones. Focusing on long-range goals, a graduating student might revise the question above to “What will I do after graduation that will lead to a successful career?”
What does the passage mainly discuss?
- A. Research on how people make decisions.
- B. A tool to assist in making complex decisions.
- C. A comparison of actual decisions and ideal decisions.
- D. Differences between long-range and short-range decision making.

Câu 25: Mã câu hỏi: 378777
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
The generation gap that was so in evidence during the 60s has resurfaced, but a 2009 study showed that it was not the disruptive force. The Pew Research Center study found that 79% of Americans see major differences between younger and older adults in the way they look at the world. In 1969, a Gallup Poll found that a smaller percentage, 74%, perceived major differences.
Today, however, although more Americans see generational differences, most do not see them as divisive. That is partly because of the areas of difference. The top areas of disagreement between young and old people, according to the Pew Research Study, are the use of technology and taste in music. Grandparents are likely to have observed these differences in their grandchildren who are tweens, teens, and young adults.
If large differences between the generations exist, why don't they spawn conflict? The answer is twofold. First, the two largest areas of difference - technology and music - are less emotionally charged than political issues. The older generation is likely to be proud of the younger generation's prowess in technology rather than to view it as a problem. As for the musical differences, each generation wants its own style of music, and the older generation generally can relate to that desire. Second, in the other areas of difference, the younger generation tends to regard the older generation as superior to their own generation – clearly a difference from the 1960s with its rallying cry of "Don't trust anyone over thirty!". According to the Pew study, all generations regard older Americans as superior in moral values, work ethics and respect for others.
Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage?
- A. Different points of view are the main problem between generations in America
- B. Generation gap doesn't cause a big problem in American families
- C. The areas of difference in generation gap have changed over the years
- D. The generation gap in the past was different from that in the modern time
