11/10/2021 1,263Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 38 to 42.
Being repeatedly late may just be accidental - or could it show a deeply rooted psychological desire to express your own superiority? when I worked in an office, meetings would often start late, usually because of a certain individual. Then they would overrun and the whole day lost its shape. But the individual was high-ranking and self-important: nobody challenged. So, what are the ethics of lateness?
There’s a psychotherapist called Irvin Yalom who argues that all behaviour reflects psychology. Just as people who like to be on time are motivated by certain deep-seated beliefs, so those who make others wait are acting out an inner agenda, often based on an acute sense of power. There’s famous footage in which Silvio Berlusconi kept Angela Merkel waiting while he made a call on his mobile. It speaks volumes.
But that is when all lateness is in one’s control, what about when your train is cancelled or your flight is delayed or you had to wait longer for the plumber to arrive? In such cases, there’s not a lot of psychology involved. Or is there? Some people will genuinely worry about the impact it will have on those left waiting, while others might secretly enjoy the power of their absence.
The essential fact is that lateness means breaking a convention - you can only be late in respect of a time agreed with other people. Regardless of psychology, it has a social value. And when we treat other people’s time as less valuable than our own, we treat them as inferior

Dịch đề bài: Đáp án nào dưới đây không đúng theo như bài đọc?
* Hướng dẫn làm bài:
Đối với loại câu hỏi tìm ý sai hoặc tìm ý đúng cần phải đọc hết cả 4 đáp án và tìm thông tin trong bài ủng hộ các đáp án đó. Nếu đáp án nào không có thông tin ủng hộ hoặc ngược lại với thông tin trong bài, thì đó là đáp án sai. Việc tìm thông tin ủng hộ đáp án phải dựa vào từ khóa của đáp án và trên bài đọc. Tuyệt đối không được dùng suy luận từ kiến thức của bản thân để trả lời loại câu hỏi này mà phải dựa hết vào bài đọc.
Trích thông tin trong bài:
1/ All behaviour reflects psychology: tất cả các hành vi đều phản ánh tâm lý. → thông tin ủng hộ đáp án A.
2/ those who make others wait are acting out an inner agenda, often based on an acute sense of power: những người khiến người khác phải đợi là đang thể hiện một mục tiêu ngầm, thường là dựa trên một cảm giác rất mạnh về quyền lực bản thân. → thông tin ủng hộ đáp án B.
3/ Some people will genuinely worry about the impact it will have on those left waiting: một vài người rõ ràng sẽ lo lắng về những ảnh hưởng mà việc đi muộn gây ra cho những người bị bắt đợi. → thông tin ủng hộ đáp án C.
4/ Some people will genuinely worry about the impact it will have on those left waiting, while others might secretly enjoy the power of their absence: một vài người rõ ràng sẽ lo lắng về những ảnh hưởng mà việc đi muộn gây ra cho những người bị bắt đợi, trong khi đó những người khác có thể sẽ bí mật tận hưởng sức mạnh của sự vắng mặt của họ. → thông tin không ủng hộ đáp án D vì có hai kiểu phản ứng chứ không phải hầu hết mọi người phản ứng như nhau.
Vậy, đáp án D không đúng theo bài → chọn D
