Câu hỏi: Read 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 39 to 43.
It's a well-known fact that the brighter city streets are at night, the less dangerous they are. However, despite helping uneasy city residents feel safer, the light produced by street lamps is considered ugly. As a result, in an effort to make the Scottish city of Glasgow more attractive at night, the local council decided to replace the typical yellow lighting in one of the city's main shopping areas, Buchanan Street, with street lamps that produced blue light.
The new lights were an instant success - and in more ways than the council had expected. Not only were the citizens of Glasgow content with the changes, but some of them were also behaving much better. After the installation of the new lights, the local police felt that thieves were committing fewer crimes in Buchanan Street. A quick check of the statistics proved that the number of recorded crimes had fallen - especially petty crimes such as pickpocketing and bag snatching. Was it a coincidence? Not according to some psychologists. They claim that blue is a calming colour and reduces people's levels of stress and aggression. Whatever the reason, it seems that blue lighting does deter crime and it has created interest abroad. Blue lighting has now been installed in many neighbourhoods in Japan, and they have seen crime fall at a similar rate as in Glasgow.
