=> Căn cứ vào thông tin đoạn văn:
- Đoạn 2: “When we look at a culture that’s experiencing oppression, it’s often a result of colonisation, where a dominant group has claimed ownership of the land and its people. When the dominant group continues to steal aspects of the non-dominant culture, it continues the economic oppression anddisadvantage of that culture.”
(Khi chúng ta nhìn vào một nền văn hóa đang trải qua áp bức, đó thường là kết quả của quá trình thuộc địa hóa, nơi một nhóm thống trị đã tuyên bố quyền sở hữu đất đai và người dân của nó. Khi nhóm thống trị tiếp tục đánh cắp các khía cạnh của nền văn hóa không thống trị, nó tiếp tục áp bức kinh tế vànhược điểm của nền văn hóa đó.)
- Đoạn 3: “Cultural appropriation also has a nasty habit of giving the dominant group credit for aspects of a culture that they have taken, reinforcing the power imbalance between the two groups.”
(Hành vi lạm dụng văn hóa cũng có một thói quen khó chịu là cho nhóm thống trị công nhận các khía cạnh của nền văn hóa mà họ đã thực hiện, làm tăng thêm sự mất cân bằng quyền lực giữa hai nhóm.)
- Đoạn 4: “Cultural appropriation creates stereotypes. The Native American chief, the Japanese geisha or the Arab sheikh can be examples of stereotypes that pop up during Halloween. When people from dominant cultures ‘dress up’ like this, it reduces something of cultural significance to a costume just so that the dominant group can have ‘a bit of fun’. It also keeps these kinds of stereotypes going.”
(Hành vi lạm dụng văn hóa tạo ra những khuôn mẫu. Thủ lĩnh người Mỹ bản địa, geisha Nhật Bản hoặc Sheikh Ả Rập có thể là những ví dụ về khuôn mẫu xuất hiện trong lễ Halloween. Khi những người từ các nền văn hóa thống trị 'ăn mặc' như vậy, điều đó làm giảm một số ý nghĩa văn hóa đối với một bộ trang phục chỉ để nhóm thống trị có thể có "một chút vui vẻ". Nó cũng giữ cho những kiểu định kiến này tiếp diễn.)

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 39 to 43.
Most Americans say they know at least some of their neighbors, but only about three-in-ten say they know all or most of them. Rural residents are more likely than those in urban or suburban areas to say they know all or most of their neighbors, but they don’t necessarily interact with their neighbors more than their counterparts in other community types.
Overall, Americans tend to be trusting of their neighbors, but this is particularly the case in suburban and rural areas. About six-in-ten in these types of community say they have a neighbor they would trust with a key to their home, compared with about half in urban areas.
The longer people have lived in their community, the more likely they are to have a neighbor they would trust with a key to their home. But even among those who report that they have lived in their community for less than one year, 34% say they would be comfortable with a neighbor having their keys. Meanwhile, 64% of those who have lived in their community for six or more years and 47% of those who have done so for one to five years say the same. Those who own their home are more likely than renters to say they would be comfortable with a neighbor having a set of keys to their home (67% vs. 45%).
When asked to describe their neighbors, people in rural areas are far more likely than those in cities and suburbs to say all or most of their neighbors share their race or ethnicity. Suburbanites are somewhat more likely than their urban and rural counterparts to say their neighbors are the same social class as they are, while relatively few across community types say all or most of their neighbors share their political views.
