READING :Read the passage , and do the tasks that follow .

Nick's voice is changing . It is one of the many developments that happen to both girls and boys when they reach puberty : a boy's voice gét deeper than a girls 's.

At puberty , boy's bodies begin producing a lot of the hormone testosterone , which causes in several parts of the body , including the voice . For starters , a boy's larynx , also know as the voice box , grows bigger , which causes your voice to get deeper.

Along with all the other changes in your body , you might notice that your throat area looks a little diferent . For boys wherevihe larynx grows bigger , part of it sticks out in the part of the neck at the front of the throat and forms the Adam's apple . For girls , the larynx also grows bigger but not as much as a boy's . That is why girls don't have Adam's apples.

While your body is getting used to these changes , your voice can be difficult to control . A guy's voice "cracks " or "breaks" because his body is getting used to the changing size of his larynx . Fortunately , the cracking and breaking is only temporary . It usually lasts no longer than a few months.

Generally , a boy's voice will start to change somewhere between the ages of 11 and 15- although it can be earlier or later for some .

Task 1 : Read the text , and identifi whether the statements are true (T) or false (F) .

........... 1 A boy's voice gets deeper than a girl's because the boy reaches puberty.

........... 2 The larynx may be responsible for creating the sound of your voice.

........... 3 When boy's reach puberty , they only change in their voice .

........... 4 Girls don't have Adam's apples because their larynx doesn't grow bigger .

........... 5 We can't see Adam's apples of girls .

........... 6 When boys reach puberty , they can't control their voice .

........... 7 In general , boys don't have the same age of puberty .

........... 8 The changes of voice often last a few months .

Task 2 : Finds words in the passage to match these definitions .

1................................. : (of a sound ) lower.

2................................. : any of the chemical which affects the development of living things.

3................................. : lasting for a short time .

4................................. : a stage when a person develops from a child into an adult.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question.

Most parents want their sons and daughters to have equal chances of success when they grow up. Today, equality of the sexes is largely mandated by public policy and law. However, old-fashioned ideas and a lot of prejudice are still part of our culture and present challenging questions for parents.

Gender stereotypes are rigid ideas about how boys and girls should behave. We all know what these stereotypes are: A "feminine" girls should be insecure, accommodating and a little illogical in her thinking. A "masculine" boy should be strong, unemotional, aggressive, and competitive. How are children exposed to these stereotypes? According to the researchers David and Myra Sadker of the American University of Washington, D.C., boys and girls are often treated differently in the classroom. They found out that when boys speak, teachers usually offer constructive comments, when girls speech, teachers tend to focus on the behavior. It's more important how the girls act rather than what they say.

The emphasis on differences begins at birth and continues throughout childhood. For example, few people would give pink baby's clothes to a boy or a blue blanket to a girl. Later, many of us give girls dolls and miniature kitchenware, while boys receive action figures and construction sets. There's nothing wrong with that. The problem arises when certain activities are deemed appropriate for one sex but not the other. According to Heather J. Nicholson, Ph.D., director of the National Resource Center for Girls, Inc., this kind of practice prevents boys and girls from acquiring important skills for their future lives.

"The fact is," says Nicholson, "that society functions as a kind of sorting machine regarding gender. In a recent survey, fifty-eight percent of eighth-grade girls but only six percent of boys earned money caring for younger children. On the other hand, twenty-seven percent of boys but only three percent of girls earned money doing lawn work". If we are serious about educating a generation to be good workers and parents, we need to eliminate such stereotypes as those mentioned previously.

Gender stereotypes inevitably are passed to our children. However, by becoming aware of the messages our children receive, we can help them develop ways to overcome these incorrect ideas. To counteract these ideas, parents can look for ways to challenge and support their children, and to encourage confidence in ways that go beyond what society's fixed ideas about differences of sext are.

The result of a recent survey showed that the number of girls at the age of eight paid for babysitting was _______.

A. 58%          

B. 27%           

C.  6 %

(Sự khác biệt được nhấn mạnh từ khi trẻ mới sinh ra và tiếp diễn xuyên suốt thời thơ ấu. Ví dụ, ít ai lại tặng quần áo sơ sinh màu hồng cho bé trai hay chăn màu xanh dương cho bé gái. Sau này, nhiều người trong chúng ta tặng bé gái búp bê và đồ làm bếp thu nhỏ, trong khi bé trai được nhận nhân vật hoạt hình và đồ chơi xây dựng. Điều đó không có gì là sai cả).

Như vậy, “that” ở đây là việc mọi người tặng một số món quà khác nhau cho trẻ tùy theo giới tính của chúng.
