📖 READING — 60 phút (40 câu)

Passage 1: The Psychology of Color (13 câu)

Color influences human behavior in ways that most people are unaware of. From the red walls of fast-food restaurants designed to stimulate appetite and encourage quick turnover, to the calming blue tones of hospital waiting rooms, color is deliberately used to shape our experiences and decisions.

The study of color psychology has its roots in the work of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, who published his “Theory of Colours” in 1810. Unlike Newton’s purely physical analysis of light, Goethe explored the subjective experience of color, arguing that colors carry emotional qualities. Warm colors such as red, orange, and yellow tend to evoke feelings of energy, warmth, and excitement, while cool colors like blue, green, and purple are associated with calmness, trust, and relaxation.

Modern research has provided empirical support for some of these associations. A study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology found that participants exposed to brief flashes of red before taking a test performed significantly worse than those exposed to green or gray, suggesting that red may trigger anxiety or avoidance behavior in achievement contexts. Conversely, another study found that red enhanced performance on tasks requiring attention to detail, indicating that the effects of color are context-dependent.

In marketing and branding, color choices are strategic decisions worth billions of dollars. Research suggests that up to 90% of snap judgments about products can be based on color alone. Blue is the most popular color for corporate brands, used by companies seeking to convey trust and reliability. Green signals environmental responsibility and health. Black communicates luxury and sophistication. However, cultural differences complicate these generalizations: while white represents purity and cleanliness in Western cultures, it is associated with mourning in many Asian countries.

The application of color psychology extends to workplace design. Studies have shown that green and blue environments enhance creative thinking, while red spaces improve focus on repetitive tasks. Workers in offices with warm lighting and earth tones report higher satisfaction than those in environments dominated by fluorescent lighting and neutral colors. These findings have influenced the design of modern workplaces, with companies increasingly investing in evidence-based color schemes to boost productivity and employee well-being.

Passage 2: The Rise of Telemedicine (13 câu)

Telemedicine — the delivery of healthcare services through digital communication technologies — has undergone a remarkable transformation from a niche concept to a mainstream healthcare delivery model. While the idea of remote medical consultation dates back to the early days of the telephone, the convergence of high-speed internet, smartphone proliferation, and advances in medical monitoring devices has created unprecedented opportunities for delivering care beyond the traditional clinic setting.

The global pandemic of 2020 served as an unexpected catalyst for telemedicine adoption. Virtually overnight, healthcare systems worldwide were forced to implement remote consultation capabilities. In the United States, telehealth visits increased by 154% during the last week of March 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The United Kingdom’s National Health Service reported that over 70% of general practice consultations shifted to remote formats. What had been projected as a gradual decade-long transition occurred in mere weeks.

The benefits of telemedicine extend beyond pandemic response. For patients in rural and remote areas, telemedicine eliminates the need for long, expensive journeys to see specialists. Elderly patients and those with mobility limitations can access healthcare from their homes. Mental health services have been particularly well-suited to telemedicine delivery, with studies showing that online therapy produces outcomes comparable to face-to-face treatment for conditions including depression and anxiety disorders.

However, telemedicine faces significant limitations. Physical examinations, a cornerstone of medical diagnosis, cannot be fully replicated remotely. Conditions requiring visual inspection, palpation, or auscultation present challenges for remote assessment. The digital divide also creates equity concerns; patients without reliable internet access, adequate devices, or digital literacy skills may be excluded from telemedicine services. Paradoxically, those who stand to benefit most from remote healthcare — elderly, rural, and low-income populations — are often least equipped to access it.

The regulatory landscape has struggled to keep pace with telemedicine’s rapid growth. Questions about licensing across state and national borders, data privacy, malpractice liability, and reimbursement policies remain partially unresolved. Despite these challenges, most healthcare experts predict that telemedicine will remain a permanent and growing component of healthcare delivery. The hybrid model — combining in-person visits for complex cases with remote consultations for routine care — is emerging as the most likely future of healthcare.

Questions 14-18: Matching Headings

A. Advantages beyond crisis management B. The limitations and digital divide C. Regulatory challenges and future outlook D. Pandemic as a turning point E. Origins and technological foundations

21. Which service is particularly suited to telemedicine?

    • A) Surgery
    • B) Mental health
    • C) Emergency care

22. The most likely future of healthcare is:

    • A) fully remote
    • B) fully in-person
    • C) a hybrid model

26. The hybrid model combines in-person visits with __________ consultations.

Passage 3: The Economics of Happiness (14 câu)

For decades, economists relied almost exclusively on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as the primary measure of a nation’s progress. The assumption was straightforward: economic growth leads to higher incomes, which enable people to purchase goods and services that improve their quality of life. By this logic, wealthier nations should be happier nations. However, a growing body of research challenges this assumption, revealing a far more complex relationship between wealth and well-being.

The paradox was first identified by economist Richard Easterlin in 1974. Analyzing data from multiple countries over several decades, Easterlin observed that while average income in the United States had risen substantially since World War II, reported levels of happiness had remained essentially flat. This phenomenon, known as the “Easterlin Paradox,” suggests that beyond a certain threshold of income — enough to meet basic needs — additional wealth contributes surprisingly little to subjective well-being.

Several explanations have been proposed for this paradox. The concept of hedonic adaptation suggests that humans quickly adjust to improved circumstances, returning to a baseline level of satisfaction regardless of material gains. The theory of relative income proposes that people evaluate their well-being not in absolute terms but by comparing themselves to those around them; as everyone’s income rises, no one feels relatively better off. Additionally, the pursuit of higher income often comes at the expense of factors that genuinely contribute to happiness, such as leisure time, social relationships, and community engagement.

Recognizing these limitations, several countries have begun experimenting with alternative measures of progress. Bhutan pioneered the concept of Gross National Happiness (GNH) in the 1970s, evaluating progress through nine domains including psychological well-being, health, education, governance, and ecological diversity. New Zealand introduced its “Wellbeing Budget” in 2019, allocating government spending based on indicators of citizen well-being rather than purely economic metrics. The United Kingdom and France have also incorporated well-being measurements into their national statistics.

Research by psychologists such as Martin Seligman and Ed Diener has identified several consistent predictors of happiness that transcend cultural boundaries. Strong social relationships emerge as the single most important factor; married individuals and those with close friendships consistently report higher life satisfaction. A sense of purpose and meaningful engagement — whether through work, volunteering, or creative pursuits — contributes significantly to well-being. Physical health, personal autonomy, and trust in institutions also play important roles. Interestingly, experiences tend to bring more lasting happiness than material possessions; a memorable holiday generates more enduring satisfaction than a new car.

The policy implications of happiness research are profound. If governments accept that GDP growth alone does not guarantee improved well-being, policy priorities shift toward strengthening social infrastructure: healthcare, education, community spaces, work-life balance regulations, and environmental quality. Some economists argue for a “post-growth” model that prioritizes sustainable well-being over endless economic expansion. Critics counter that such approaches risk undermining the economic engine that has lifted billions out of poverty. The debate continues, but the fundamental insight remains: human happiness is far more complex than any single number can capture.

Questions 27-32: True/False/Not Given

27. GDP was the only measure of progress until recently. → __________
28. The Easterlin Paradox was identified in 1974. → __________
29. Happiness always increases with income. → __________

    • A) money always buys happiness
    • B) beyond basic needs, more money doesn’t add much happiness
    • C) poor countries are happier

    • A) income level
    • B) physical health
    • C) strong social relationships

36. “Post-growth” economists prioritize:
