I know that it is my job to make sure that everything goes well for the tourists and I feel I work hard for the company. I cannot be blamed for last week. I met the group at the airport and took them to the coach. The coach driver was a bit annoyed because the flight was late. But it wasn’t far to the hotel and everyone was looking forward to their dinner. We hadn’t used the Hotel Riviera before but our normal one had a conference in it so it was fully booked. When I announced our arrival at the reception desk, they said they were full. I had booked rooms for the group but the manager said they were cancelled by phone a few days before. He insisted that he recognized my voice and that I had made the phone call. We had a bit of an argument but they obviously didn’t have enough rooms. In the end the manager phoned other hotels in the town and found rooms for everyone but in four different hotels. By this time, the coach had gone so we had to get taxis and some of the tourists started to get very angry with me. I still don’t know who made that phone call but it definitely wasn’t me.

In today's competitive world, what responsible parents would not want to give their children the best possible start in life? For this reason, many parents want their children, often as young as ten months old, to become familiar with computers. They seem to think that if their children grow up with computers, they will be better equipped to face the challenges of the future.
No one has proved that computers make children more creative or more intelligent. The truth may even be the opposite. Educational psychologists claim that too much exposure to computers, especially for the very young, may negatively affect normal brain development. Children gain valuable experience of the world from their interaction with physical objects. Ten- month-old babies may benefit more from bumping their heads or putting various objects in their mouths than they will from staring at eye-catching cartoons. A four-year-old child can improve hand-eye coordination and understand cause and effect better by experimenting with a crayon than by moving a cursor around a computer screen. So, as educational psychologists suggest, instead of government funding going to more and more computer classes, it might be better to devote resources to music and art programs.
It is ludicrous to think that children will fall behind if they are not exposed to computers from an early age. Time is too precious to spend with a "mouse". Now is the time when they should be out there learning to ride a bike. There will be time later on for them to start banging away at keyboards.
Câu 41: Why do parents want their children to learn how to use a computer from an early age?
A. Because they want their children to be well prepared for their future.
B. Because they are afraid their children will become competitive.
C. Because they believe their children will have difficulty learning to use one if they don't start early.
D. Because this is what all the other parents seem to do.
Câu 42: Children who spend a lot of time on their computers _________________
A. tend to like music and art more than those who don't.
B. tend to have more accidents than those who don't.
C. do not necessarily make more progress than those who don't.
D. will suffer from brain damage.
Câu 43: The author implies that children learn better _________________
A. when they hold and feel things around them.
B. after they have developed hand-eye coordination.
C. as they get older.
D. when they use a computer.
Câu 44: What would be an appropriate title for this passage?
A. Computers in schools B. Never too early to start
C. More computers mean brighter future D. Let kids be kids
