your hips and as tightly as possible. Of course, you should also know how the release
mechanism of your belt operates. During take-off and landings you are advised to keep your
feet flat on the floor. Before take-off you should locate the nearest exit and an alterative exit
and count the rows of seat between you and the exits so that you can find them in the dark if
necessary
In the event that you are forewarned of the possible accident, you should put your hands on
your ankles and keep your head down until the plane come to complete stop. If smoke is
present in the cabin, you should keep your head low and cover your face with napkins, towels,
or clothing. If possible, wet these for added protection against smoke inhalation. To evacuate as
quickly as possible, follow crew command and do not take personal belongings with you. Do
not jump on escape slides before they are fully inflated and when you jump, do so with your
arms and legs extended in front of you. When you get to the ground, you should move away
from the plane as quickly as possible, and never smoke near the wreckage

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 43 to 50.
If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius (thiên tài),
they will cause a disaster. According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of
the biggest mistakes which ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware
of what his parents expect, and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great
damage to children.
However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do,
but are ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well – especially if the
parents are very supportive of their child. Michael Collins is very lucky. He is crazy about
music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and
violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons.
Michael’s mother knows very little about music, but his father plays the trumpet in a large
orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.
Winston Smith, Michael’s friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful
musicians, and they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as
successful as they are and so they enter him for every piano competition held. They are very
unhappy when he does not win. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and
now he always seems quiet and unhappy.
Question 43: One of the serious mistakes parents can make is to ______.
A. push their child into trying too much
B. help their child to become a genius
