EAT THAT FROG!
Imagine this scenario: You’ve taken up a new job or started a new course, (7) you’re
already feeling overworked. You’ve got so many things to do. In his book Eat That Frog!, Brian Tracy

option that best fits each of the numbered blanks.
MEMORIZATION TECHNIQUES
Throughout history, scholars have recognised that memory plays a central role in cognitive
development. It is therefore essential to understand which techniques can help us memorize more
efficiently. One of the most effective ways (18) . Below are two simple techniques to help you
remember everything, even a shopping list of eight items.
The first method involves creating a vivid and unusual story. For example, picture a giant loaf of
bread with coffee suddenly spraying out like a fountain. The coffee turns into white yoghurt, (19)
. Olives run across the bridge while large eggs chase them. The olives hide behind a carton of
orange juice. When you try to eat one, it becomes a bitter-tasting onion. (20) .
The second technique is called the “memory palace”. Visualize your home and mentally walk
through each room. Place the items from your list in specific locations, such as bread on the doormat or
coffee in front of the TV. (21) , you make the information easier to recall. Not only is this strategy
useful for shopping lists (22) .

Câu 23–30Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions.
Although our brain accounts for just 2 percent of our body weight, the organ consumes half of
our daily carbohydrate requirements — and glucose is its most important fuel. Under acute stress, the
brain requires some 12 percent more energy, prompting many to gravitate towards sugary snacks.
Carbohydrates provide the body with the quickest source of energy. In fact, in cognitive tests
subjects who were stressed performed poorly prior to eating. Their performance, however, went back to
normal after consuming carbohydrates.
The regulation of hunger involves several brain regions that control metabolism and feeding
behaviour. One key structure acts as a kind of gatekeeper. When this region registers that the brain lacks
glucose, it limits signals from the rest of the body. As a result, people often turn to carbohydrates as soon
as the brain signals a need for energy, even if the body still has sufficient reserves.
To explore the relationship between stress and eating behaviour, researchers conducted an
experiment with 40 participants. In one session, the participants delivered a ten-minute speech in front
of strangers. In another session, they did not have to speak. After each session, scientists measured levels
of the stress hormones cortisol and adrenaline and then provided a food buffet. When the participants
gave a speech before the buffet, they were more stressed, and on average consumed an additional 34
grams of carbohydrates, than when they did not give a speech.
In everyday life, cravings for sweet foods may also have a physiological explanation. When the
brain lacks energy, it may increase the production of stress hormones, which over time can raise
the risk of heart disease, stroke, or depression. Studies also suggest that people who experienced high
levels of stress in childhood may develop stronger preferences for sweets later in life.
For some people, especially those under long-term stress, cravings for sweets may not be a lack
of self-control. Instead, they may reflect the brain’s need for energy. Reducing stress may be the key to
healthier eating habits.

Câu 31–40Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions.
In their article “Just Plane Wrong: Celebs with the Worst Private Jet CO2 Emissions,” YARD
ranked Taylor Swift as the celebrity with the largest carbon footprint, attributing 138 tons of emissions
to her private jet. Jay-Z and Floyd Mayweather followed closely behind. Swift’s recent attendance at
Kansas City Chiefs games to support her partner, Travis Kelce, has intensified media scrutiny.
Celebrities receiving public criticism for air travel is hardly a new phenomenon. Singling out one
individual risks oversimplifying a broader issue that predates any particular headline. [I]
Carbon emissions are, to some extent, unavoidable for high-profile public figures who travel
frequently. In “Rich Enough to Offset,” Laura Kiesel explores the ever-increasing carbon emissions of
celebrities including Arnold Schwarzenegger and Leonardo DiCaprio, and how they have tried to
account for them. One popular approach is carbon offsetting, a practice that allows individuals to
compensate for emissions by funding environmental initiatives, including reforestation or renewable
energy projects. [II] While such efforts may signal accountability, critics argue that they rarely
neutralize emissions in any meaningful sense.
Professor Jon Erickson of the University of Vermont highlights concerns about the unintended
consequences of certain offset projects, particularly in developing regions. Some initiatives, such as
small-scale solar schemes established to counterbalance luxury emissions, may inadvertently limit
resources available for essential services like healthcare and education. Furthermore, these efforts do
little to address the root causes of excess carbon emissions. Erickson therefore calls for stronger
legislative measures, including mandated caps on emissions that would directly address the source of
the problem without displacing its impacts. [III]
Celebrity air travel remains under constant scrutiny, regardless of public sentiment. Although
voluntary offset programmes may help restore celebrities’ reputations, they can also legitimise
continued overconsumption. In “Don’t Bet on Offsets,” A.C. Thompson and Duane Moles question
whether such mechanisms can realistically counteract emissions. Companies such as TerraPass offer
affluent consumers the opportunity to calculate and compensate for their carbon footprints, yet these
transactions often occur in loosely regulated markets lacking consistent standards. [IV]
While carbon offsetting provides limited mitigation opportunities, meaningful progress depends
on systemic reforms that reduce overall emissions and confront the underlying causes of climate impact.
that these measures are inadequate and effective climate action requires systemic reform.
