Questions 153 through 155 re fe r to th e following e xtract.
The Employee-of-the-Month Award

The Employee-of-the-Month Award is given for the "most outstanding contribution during the
preceding month." The company avvards these at the departmental level. We have eight depart-
ments. Theretore, company-wide, there are eight Employees-of-the-Month awardees. Each month,
the Department Leader selects one person.
Wouldn't you expect that, in a single department with about 25 staff members, at least a few
of the employees would be selected as Employee-of-the-Month more than once each year? This
hasn't yet happened. The Department Leaders seem to have an intormal rule that every employ-
ee will receive the award. Theretore, most of the staff will receive the tree dinner on the aver-
age of once every two years.
You may see my complaining as just tussing over nothing. However, innovation requires "out-
standing" contributions. If the company tocuses on keeping everyone happy, ignoring special
ettorts and special contributions, it is likely that the incentive to do something outstanding is
going to diminish. Then, we certainly aren't going to be very competitive - no m atter how many
doors are closed.
153. What is the writer's opinion on the Award? 155. According to the vvriter, what is the outcome
(A) It is very generous. of the award as it is now?
(B) It honors a lot of outstanding ettorts. (A) It doesn't motivate people to work hard.
(C) It doesn't necessarily hold much value. (B) It makes people too competitive with one another.
(D) lt's too selective in it recipients. (C) It highlights special ettorts and contributions.
(D) It unites the company.
154. What does the vvriter complain about in the second
www.nhantriviet.com
paragraph?
(A) Only a few people from each department have received
the award.
(B) Some people haven't received the award.
(C) The Department Leaders disobey their own rule.
(D) The Department Leaders distribute the award equally.

One of the questions ĩ get asked quite oíten is what type of iníormation
PrĩlCtÌCG Tost 5
employers will ask for when they veriíy my previous employment or check
my reíerences. The question oíten correlates to the broader question of
‘Are they going to catch me if I fudge my dates of employment or my job
title or the salary I was earning?’
Will Employers Check?

The answer is that it depends... It depends on how much veriíication the
employer does during its hiring process. Some employers will coníirm,
very thoroughly, every detail of your resume or application. Others may
do a cursory check or none at all. So, the problem with stretching the
truth or embellishing your resume (other than that it’s lying) is that there
is a chance that you’ll get caught, either now or at some point in the íuture.
If you do get caught, you won’t get the job or, if you’ve already been
hired, you might get íired.
161. What is a commonly asked question?

(A) Am I going to get caught eating on the job?
(B) ls my past resume broad enough?
(C) Will my new salary match my previous one?
(D) What questions will my torm er employers be asked?
162. What does the word "embellishing" mean in the second paragraph?
(A) adding talse details
(B) copying it trom someone else
(C) buying it trom the internet
(D) avoiding
163. What will employers check?

have reached the $1,000 mark, your discount will increase to 10%. A $1,500 accumulation of
orders will entitle you to a 15% discount and once you have reached $2,000 you will receive 20%
off all merchandise orders. We think it’s a great idea and hope that you agree.

The Technical Assistance Alliance for Parent Centers is an innovative project that supports a
uniíied technical assistance System for the purpose of developing, assisting and coordinating
Parent Training and Intormation Projects and Community Parent Resource Centers under the
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This project is tunded by the u.s.

center and 6 regional centers. The project is íunded to strengthen the connections to the
larger technical assistance netvvork and fortify partnerships betvveen parent centers and State
education Systems at regional and national levels.

Parent Training and Intormation Centers (PTIs) and Community Parent Resource Centers
(CPRCs) in each State provide training and iníormation to parents of iníants, toddlers, chil-
dren, and youth w ith disabilities and to protessionals who work with children. This assistance
helps parents to participate more effectively w ith proíessionals in meeting the educational
needs of children and youth w ith disabilities. The Parent Centers vvork to improve education-
al outcomes for children and youth w ith all disabilities (emotional, learning, mental, and
physical).
The Alliance offers a variety of resources to íurther strengthen the Parent Centers' abilities to
effectively serve the íamilies in their communities whose children have disabilities. There are
approximately 100 parent centers in the United States. Staff members in these centers, as
well as at the Alliance office, are likely to be parents of children with disabilities or have dis-
abilities themselves. The common experience vvith the íamilies they serve results in uncom-
mon com m itm ent to improving outcomes and results for children w ith disabilities.

Games and Activities - Toxic W aste
This is a popular, engaging small group activity which provides a rich teamwork challenge. The challenge is
to move the “toxic waste” contents of a bucket to the "neutralization" Container using minimal equipment
and maintaining a safe distance vvithin a time limit. It is moderately diííicult and works best for groups that
have already dealt vvith basic teamwork issues. Avoid using this activity with groups who are still in the early
Practice Test 10
stages of group development.
Set-U p
Use the rope to create a circle at least 8 feet in diameter on the ground to represent the toxic waste radiation
zone. The larger the zone, the more diííicult the activity. Place the small bucket in the center of the radiation
zone and fill it with water or balls to represent the toxic waste. Place the large neutralization bucket approxi-
mately 30 to 50 feet away. The greater the distance, the more diííicult the activity. Put all other equipment
(i.e., bungee, cords) in a pile near the rope circle.
D ire c tio n s
The challenge is for the group to work out how to transíer the toxic waste from the small bucket into the
large bucket, using only the equipment provided within a time írame. The waste will blow up and destroy the
world aíter 20 minutes if it is not neutralized. Anyone who ventures into the radiation zone will suffer injury
and possibly even death, and spillage will create death and destruction. Thereíbre, the group should aim to
save the vvorld and do so without injury to any group members.
F a c ilita to r Notes
Toxic Waste is not an easy exercise and most groups will beneíit from some coaching along the way. The
solution involves attaching the cords to the bungee loop, then guiding the bungee with the strings to sit
around and grab the toxic waste bucket. Then with everyone pulling on their cord and with good coordina-
tion and care, the toxic waste bucket can be liíted, moved and tipped into the empty neutralizing bucket.
167. Who is this text vvritten for? 170. What can you do to make the exercise more ditíicult?
(A) an office vvorker (A) decrease the radiation zone
|B) a teacher (B) increase the distance to the neutralization bucket
(C) a manager (C) use balls instead of water
(D) a health and satety officer (D) offer coaching
168. Where would this text most likely be tound? 171. What group would benetit most trom this exercise?
(A) posted in a staff canteen (A) one that can't work together
(B) in a íinancial magazine (B) any team at all
