Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on you answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.       Stella McCartney was born in 1972, the daughter of pop star Sir Paul McCartney. She is the youngest of three sisters. One sister is a potter and the other sister does the same job as their mother used to do - she works as a photographer. Stella's brother, James, is a musician. Stella first hit the newspaper headlines in 1995 when she graduated in fashion design from art college. At her final show, her clothes were modeled by her friends, Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss, both well-known models. Unsurprisingly, the student show became front-page news around the world. Stella hadn't been in the news before as a fashion designer but she had spent time working in the fashion world since she was fifteen. In March 1997, Stella went to work for the fashion house Chloe. People said the famous fashion house had given her the job because of her surname and her famous parents but Stella soon showed how good she was. She designs clothes which she would like to wear herself, although she's not a model, and many famous models and actors choose to wear them. In 2001 Stella started her own fashion house and has since opened stores around the world and won many prizes. A lifelong vegetarian, McCartney does not use any leather or fur in her design. Instead, she uses silk, wool and other animal-derived fabrics.  (Source: Adapted from Objective PET)  Which of the following is NOT true about Stella’s family?

Đọc đoạn trích sau đây và trả lời các câu hỏi: Người ta chẳng qua là một cây sậy, cây sậy mềm yếu nhất trong tạo hóa nhưng là một cây sậy có tư tưởng. Cần gì cả vũ trụ tòng hành nhau mới đè bẹp cây sậy ấy? Một chút hơi, một giọt nước cũng đủ làm chết người. Nhưng dù vũ trụ có đè bẹp người ta, người ta so với vũ trụ vẫn cao hơn, vì khi chết thì hiểu biết rằng mình chết chứ không như vũ trụ kia, khỏe hơn mình nhiều mà không tự biết rằng mình khỏe. Vậy giá trị của chúng ta là ở tư tưởng. Ta cậy cao dựa vào tư tưởng, chứ đừng dựa vào không gian, thời gian là hai thứ chúng ta không bao giờ làm đầy hay đọ kịp. Ta hãy rèn tập để biết tư tưởng cho hay, cho đúng, đó là nền tảng của nhân luân. Tôi không căn cứ vào không gian để thấy giá trị của tôi, mà tôi trông cậy vào sự quy định của tư tưởng một cách hoàn toàn, dù tôi có bao nhiêu đất cát cũng chưa phải là "giàu hơn", vì trong phạm vi không gian này, vũ trụ nuốt tôi như một điểm con, nhưng trái lại, nhờ tư tưởng, tôi quan niệm, bao trùm toàn vũ trụ. (Trích Giá trị con người – Pa-xcan, Bài tập Ngữ văn 11, Tập hai, NXB Giáo dục Việt Nam, 2015, tr.114) Văn bản trên đề cập đến vấn đề gì?
