Đoạn văn 2

Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the blanks.

Recently we have been coming across quite a few songs that may sound like standard pop on the surface but are pretty deep underneath. Perhaps Adele's “To Be Loved" should be placed in that (1) ______. The lyrics are not only poetic but to some extent vague. This thus leads to the potential of varying interpretations. However, what it all seems to lead to is the singer being the type of person who is predisposed towards guarding her heart and soul. In other words, she’s wise enough to know that if you get deeply involved with the wrong type of lover or associate, the emotional consequences can be (2) ______. But at the same time, she concludes that she cannot live life without taking such risks.

Now considering that the album this song is derived from was inspired by her recent divorce, the logical implication would be that Adele is primarily speaking to that situation. (3) ______, 'yeah, she took bad turns’, i.e., made questionable decisions, in terms of whom she gave her trust to. But now ‘looking back, she doesn't regret a thing’. Or put differently, it can also be said that she is the type of individual who is ready to learn and grow even if it proves to be a (4) ______ process. Also, in some cases, i.e., her relationship with the addressee, she is accordingly willing to sacrifice her own (5) ______ comfort and ethics even in the name of 'being loved'.

Therefore, another way of looking at this tirade is as Adele’s way of saying that she did in fact give her all to the marriage. Like she really "tried", but at the end of the day the implication is that her main goal, which was "to be loved" by the addressee, was not (6) ______.

Learning is all about change, and change drives learning. The two are inevitable and go hand in glove.

In the workforce and other areas of life, change raises questions about readiness to take advantage of opportunities or to face demands for different (2) ______ of behaving and interacting and more demanding goals to achieve. Learning can bring about change by creating new capabilities and opening the door to new and unexpected opportunities. As such, learning is risky. It upsets the status quo, raising ambiguities and (3) ______. It also has the potential to empower a person to influence the future, providing choices that would not be available otherwise.

Change and learning (4) ______ throughout our lives. Indeed, we spend our early lives in educational settings that give us life skills, but ultimately prepare us for a career. The question is whether we also learn how to learn so that we are prepared to face change and create positive change for ourselves and others. Adaptive learners are prepared to make incremental changes. Generative learners are ready for transformational change. They (5) ______ new ideas and skills, experiment with new behaviours, and set challenging goals for themselves that bring them to new ideal states. Transformative learners have the skills to confront and create frame-breaking change. For them, change is the process of recognizing gaps, setting goals, establishing a learning plan, and (6) ______ motivation for carrying out the plan to achieve the goals.

When the test is presented, however, you find yourself so (2) ______ that you blank out the answers to even the easiest questions. If this experience sounds familiar, then you might be experiencing test anxiety.

Test anxiety is a psychological condition in which people experience extreme distress and anxiety in testing situations. In situations where the pressure is on and where a good performance counts, people can become so (3) ______ that they are unable to do their best.
