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 43 to 50.
Henry is the undisputed star of Dronfield School near Sheffield. Whatever the achievements of other members of the comprehensive school, it is Henry, with his soulful eyes and glossy hair, who has hogged the limelight, appearing on television in Britain and abroad. Yet despite all the public adulation, Henry stirs up no envy or resentment among the 2000 students – in fact, they all adore him. The dog, who first arrived six months ago, is a super dog, who has improved students' behaviour and encouraged more students to focus on their academic achievement. Andrew Wainwright, a student at Dronfield School, says there is something magical and calming about being able to interact with Henry during his time at the school's catch-up classes, and that if he falls behind, that opportunity will be denied. Even doubting staff have finally been won round. Perhaps that is because Henry, who lies on the floor during staff meetings, has also had a calming effect on them. It was Andrew's teacher, Wendy Brown and the school counsellor, Julie Smart, who first proposed buying a school dog. "Julie and I were talking one day about how looking after dogs can positively affect children's conduct," says Brown. "We did some research and discovered that the presence of pets has been shown to be therapeutic. A number of studies have shown that animals improve recovery after surgery or illness and have a calming influence on people in a lot of settings. Some of my kids can be a handful and some of the children Julie counsels have terrible problems." Could the school dog become a craze? Other schools such as the Mulberry Bush, a primary school for children with behavioural problems, have stepped forward to point out they already have one. Rosie Johnston, a Mulberry staff member has been bringing her golden retriever, Muskoka, into school for three years. Apart from being a calming influence, Muskoka even plays his part in literacy lessons. Children at the school can be too shy to read to adults so they read to Muskoka. "Their anxiety about mispronouncing something or getting the words in the wrong order is reduced when they read to him," says Johnston. Psychologist Dr Deborah Wells from Queen's University Belfast specialises in animal-human interaction. She believes that the underlying key to the Henry effect is that dogs offer unconditional love and that cheers up adults and children and helps with self-esteem. But traditionalist Chris Woodhead, the former chief inspector of schools says, "I don't see why a teacher cannot create a positive learning environment through the subject they teach and their personality. Dogs strike me as a bit of a publicity stunt. It's the kind of sentimental story journalists love." Despite this sentiment, Henry remains as popular as ever.

Khẳng định nào dưới đây được ám chỉ trong đoạn văn?A. Rosie Johnston có nhiều kinh nghiệm hơn Wendy Brown trong việc làm việc với động vật.B. Sự tương tác với Henry được dùng để thúc đẩy động lực học tập của học sinh ở trường Dronfield.C. Hiệu trưởng trường Dronfield hoài nghi rằng liệu bầu bạn của Henry sẽ mang lại lợi ích cho học sinh của họ hay khôngD. Wendy Brown và Julie Smart là những nhà hoạt động về quyền của động vật rất tận tụy những người luôn mong muốn có thể gửi gắm thông điệp của họ đến với thế hệ người trẻ.Căn cứ vào thông tin ở câu cuối đoạn đầu và một số thông tin trong đoạn hai:-"The dog, who first arrived six months ago, is a super dog, who has improved students' behaviour and encouraged more students to focus on their academic achievement."(Chú chó, người mới đến sáu tháng trước, là một chú chó hảo hạng, người đã cải thiện hành vi của học sinh và khuyến khích nhiều học sinh tập trung vào thành tích học tập của họ.)-"It was Andrew's teacher, Wendy Brown and the school counsellor, Julie Smart, who first proposed buying a school dog. "Julie and I were talking one day about how looking after dogs can positively affect children's conduct," says Brown."(Chính là giáo viên của Andrew, ông Wendy Brown và cố vấn của trường, ông Julie Smart, người đầu tiên đề xuất mua một chú chó học đường. "Tôi và Julie đã nói chuyện một ngày về cách chăm sóc chó thế nào có thể ảnh hưởng tích cực đến việc giáo dục trẻ em", ông Brown nói.)=> Như vậy, ta thấy mặc dù có vài ý kiến trái chiều được nêu ra nhưng vẫn có một hàm ý trong bài văn rằng sự tương tác với Henry được dùng để thúc đẩy động lực học tập của học sinh ở trường Dronfield.
Đáp án B.
