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 following questions.
The capital city of Venezuela, Caracas, has some of the worst traffic jams in the world. The situation is so bad that psychiatrists have now begun to give advice to commuters about what to do when thev are in a trailic jam to get them less stressed. The advice includes the following: eat a snack, read a book, do a crossword, listen to music but don't punch or shoot anyone.
The number of car owners in Caracas has increased dramatically and the result of this has been blocked motorways and side-streets that are jammed from early morning until late at night. Entire districts are paralvsed and the situation is driving some motorists crazy. Doctors say the stress is causing both physical and mental damage and is leading to more cases of road rage, including shoot-outs.
People who try to avoid the traffic jams by leaving home at 5 a.m. have been warned that they may suffer from lack of sleep, which will reduce productivity, make them irritable and have a negative effect on their family lives.
People are feeling more and more anxious and tense, Robert Lespinasse, the former head of the Venezuelan Society of Psychiatry, told the daily newspaper Ultimas Noticias. A psychologist, Heman D'Oliveira, said that the disruption in mental processes was making people less open to criticism.
