Carnegie Hall, which is a famous concert hall in New York City, has again undergone a restoration.
While this is not the first, it is certainly the most extensive in the building’s history. As a result of this
new restoration, Carnegie Hall once again has the quality of sound that it had when it was first built.
Carnegie Hall owes its existence to Andrew Carnegie, the wealthy owner of a steel company in the late
1800s. The hall was finished in 1891 and quickly gained a reputation as an excellent performing arts hall
where accomplished musicians gained fame. Despite its reputation, the concert hall suffered from several
detrimental renovations over the years. During the Great Depression, when fewer people could afford to
attend performances, the directors sold part of the building to commercial businesses. As a result, a coffee
shop was opened in one comer of the building, for which the builders replaced the brick and terra cotta
walls with windowpanes. A renovation in 1946 seriously damaged the acoustical quality of the hall when
the makers of the film Carnegie Hall cut a gaping hole in the dome of the ceiling to allow for lights and
air vents. The hole was later covered with short curtains and a fake ceiling, but the hall never sounded the
same afterwards.
In 1960, the violinist Isaac Stem became involved in restoring the hall after a group of real estate
developers unveiled plans to demolish Carnegie Hall and build a high-rise office building on the site.
This threat spurred Stem to rally public support for Carnegie Hall and encourage the City of New York to
buy the property. The movement was successful, and the concert hall is now owned by the city. In the
current restoration, builders tested each new material for its sound qualities, and they replaced the hole in
the ceiling with a dome. The builders also restored the outer walls to their original appearance and closed
the coffee shop. Carnegie has never sounded better, and its prospects for the future have never looked
more promising.
Question 28: What is this passage mainly about?
A. Changes to Carnegie Hall
B. The appearance of Carnegie Hall
C. Carnegie Hall’s history during the Great Depression
D. Damage to the ceiling in Carnegie Hall
Question 29: In the second paragraph, what is the meaning of the word “detrimental”?
A. Dangerous B. Significant C. Extreme D. Harmful

Question 30: What major change happened to the hall in 1946?
A. The acoustic dome was damaged.
B. Space in the building was sold to commercial businesses.
C. The walls were damaged in an earthquake.
D. The stage was renovated.
Question 31: Who was Andrew Carnegie?
A. A violinist B. An architect
C. A steel mill owner D. The mayor of New York City
Question 32: What was Isaac Stem’s relationship to Carnegie Hall?
A. He made the movie “Carnegie Hall” in 1946.
B. He performed on opening night in 1891.
C. He tried to save the hall, beginning in 1960.
D. He opened a coffee shop in Carnegie Hall during the Depression.
Question 33: What was probably the most important aspect of the recent renovation?
A. Restoring the outer wall B. Expanding the lobby
C. Restoring the plaster trim D. Repairing the ceiling
Question 34: Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “unveiled” in the last paragraph?

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 35 to 42.
Happiness and sadness are experienced by people in all cultures around the world, but how can we tell
when other people are happy or despondent? It turns out that the expression of many emotions may be
universal. Smiling is apparently a universal sign of friendliness and approval. Baring the teeth in a hostile
way, as noted by Charles Darwin in the nineteenth century, may be a universal sign of anger. As the
originator of the theory of evolution, Darwin believed that the universal recognition of facial expressions
would have survival value. For example, facial expressions could signal the approach of enemies (or
friends) in the absence of language.
Most investigators concur that certain facial expressions suggest the same emotions in all people.
Moreover, people in diverse cultures recognize the emotions manifested by the facial expressions. In
classic research Paul Ekman took photographs of people exhibiting the emotions of anger, disgust, fear,
happiness, and sadness. He then asked people around the world to indicate what emotions were being
depicted in them. Those queried ranged from European college students to members of the Fore, a tribe
that dwells in the New Guinea highlands. All groups, including the Fore, who had almost no contact with
Western culture, agreed on the portrayed emotions. The Fore also displayed familiar facial expressions
when asked how they would respond if they were the characters in stories that called for basic emotional
responses. Ekman and his colleagues more recently obtained similar results in a study of ten cultures in
which participants were permitted to report that multiple emotions were shown by facial expressions. The
participants generally agreed on which two emotions were being shown and which emotion was more
intense.
Psychological researchers generally recognize that facial expressions reflect emotional states. In fact,
various emotional states give rise to certain patterns of electrical activity in the facial muscles and in the
brain. The facial-feedback hypothesis argues, however, that the causal relationship between emotions and
Trang 4
www.captoc.vn
www.captoc.vn
Trang 5/19
facial expressions can also work in the opposite direction. According to this hypothesis, signals from the
facial muscles (“feedback) are sent back to emotion centers of the brain, and so a person’s facial
expression can influence that person’s emotional state. Consider Darwin’s words: “The free expression by
outward signs of an emotion intensifies it. On the other hand, the repression, as far as possible, of all
outward signs softens our emotions.” Can smiling give rise to feelings of good will, for example, and
frowning to anger?
Psychological research has given rise to some interesting findings concerning the facial-feedback
hypothesis. Causing participants in experiments to smile, for example, leads them to report more positive
feelings and to rate cartoons (humorous drawings of people or situations) as being more humorous. When
they are caused to frown, they rate cartoons as being more aggressive.
What are the possible links between facial expressions and emotion? One link is arousal, which is the
level of activity or preparedness for activity in an organism. Intense contraction of facial muscles, such as
those used in signifying fear, heightens arousal. Self-perception of heightened arousal then leads to
heightened emotional activity. Other links may involve changes in brain temperature and the release of
neurotransmitters (substances that transmit nerve impulses.) The contraction of facial muscles both
influences the internal emotional state and reflects it. Ekman has found that the so-called Duchenne smile,
which is characterized by “crow’s feet” wrinkles around the eyes and a subtle drop in the eye cover fold
so that the skin above the eye moves down slightly toward the eyeball, can lead to pleasant feelings.
Ekman’s observation may be relevant to the British expression “keep a stiff upper lip” as a
recommendation for handling stress. It might be that a “stiff” lip suppresses emotional response - as long
as the lip is not quivering with fear or tension. But when the emotion that leads to stiffening the lip is
more intense, and involves strong muscle tension, facial feedback may heighten emotional response.

Note 4
- Mệnh đề quan hệ (Relative clauses) là mệnh đề phụ dùng để giải thích rõ hơn về danh từ đứng trước nó.
Mệnh đề quan hệ đứng ngay sau danh từ mà nó bổ nghĩa.
E.g: The girl is Nam’s girlfriend. She is sitting next to me.
=> The girl who is sitting next to me is Nam’s girlfriend.
- Mệnh đề quan hệ thường được nối với mệnh đề chính bằng các đại từ quan hệ (relative pronouns): who,
whom, which, whose, that hoặc các trạng từ quan hệ (relative adverbs): where, when, why
+ Who: được dùng làm chủ ngữ trong mệnh đề quan hệ, thay thế cho danh từ chỉ người.
-E.g: My close friend who sings very well is your brother.
+ Which: được dùng làm chủ ngữ hoặc tân ngữ trong mệnh đề quan hệ, thay thế cho danh từ chỉ vật
E.g: Do you see the book which is on the table?
+ Whom: được dùng làm tân ngữ trong mệnh đề quan hệ, thay thế cho danh từ chỉ người
E.g: The man whom I met yesterday is Hoa’s brother.
+ Whose: được dùng để chỉ sở hữu cho danh từ chỉ người hoặc vật đứng trước. Sau whose là danh từ mà
nó làm sở hữu.
E.g: Do you know the girl whose mother is a famous artist?
+ That: được dùng để thay thế cho danh từ chỉ người hoặc vật “That” dùng để thay cho “who, whom,
which” trong mệnh đề quan hệ xác định
