Inside a 4D Film
A lot of people think that 3D films are pretty cool. When you watch a 3D film, it sometimes feels like you can reach out and
touch the things that you see. In the future, however, 3D might be replaced by something even more advanced: 4D.
What you see in a 4D film is the same as what you see in a 3D film. The screen is the same, and the glasses are the
same. 4D films are different because they dont use 3D technology. People in the audience also feel physical things during the
films.
Lets look at a few examples. Lets say that you are watching a film about earthquakes. If you are watching a 4D film,
maybe your seat will suddenly start to shake. It will feel like you are in the middle of an earthquake, but you are not.The 4D
effects make your seat shake. Or perhaps during the film, one of the characters gives flowers to another character. The people in
the cinema might suddenly smell flowers.
The point of 4D films is to make people feel like they are in the film. When we watch films these days, we only use two
senses; our sense of sight and our sense of hearing. If we use our other senses, the film might feel more real to us.
4D films already exist. The film Avatar was released everywhere in 3D, but in Korea and Hong Kong, it was also released
in 4D. People who watched Avatar in 4D feel wind and rain. They also smelled smoke from the weapons in the film, and
sometimes their seats moved.
Will 4D replace 3D films? It is possible, but we cant be sure yet. One problem with 4D films is that it is very expensive to
show them in theaters. Before a theater shows a 4D film, it has to buy a lot of special equipment. However, 4D films are catching
on. Other films shown in 4D include Shrek 4-D, and Iron Man 3.
36. What is one problem with 4D films?
A. They are expensive. B. They are a little dangerous.
C. They dont feel real. D. Actors dont like them.
37. What does the second sentence of the sixth paragraph mean?
A. We know that it is not possible. C. It might happen, but we dont know yet.
B. We know that it definitely will happen. D. We cant be sure because there are no 4D films yet.
38. Which of the following is NOT true about 4D films?
A. They use the same glasses and screens as 3D films. B. Some have been shown in Hong Kong and Korea.
C. When you watch them, your seat might shake. D. Cinemas that show them dont need special equipment.
39. The word they in paragraph 2 refers to _______
A. 4D films B. Glasses C. Screens D. 3D technology
40. What would only happen during a 4D film?
A. The sound would be very loud.
B. You would feel like you could reach out and touch the things that you see.
C. Water would fall on your head.
D. You would wear special glasses.
41. The phrase catching on in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _______
A. arriving already B. becoming popular C. being shown D. getting an advantage
42. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Some films may have both 3D and 4D versions.
B. Special equipment in a theater for 4D films are completely different from those for 3D films.
C. Some normal films also make people use more than two senses.
D. 4D films use the same technology as 3D films.

Using Social Media to Boost Business
 In the past few years, social media has swept across the globe. Nowadays, people of all ages and nationalities are
opening Twitter, Facebook, and Linkedln accounts to connect with friends, celebrities, and those who want to share similar
interests as them. Social media isnt just for individuals though. Small businesses and corporations are also using it to develop
closer relationships with their fans and attract new customers.
There are many ways that organizations can benefit from social media. For starters, it can be an effective way to conduct
market research. In the past, companies often spent millions on studies to determine what their customers wanted. However,
they often had difficulties locating people who were interested in their products or services. Nowadays, social media has
simplified this process as many customers will follow or like the companies they purchase products from. Furthermore, online
advertising campaigns through social media allow companies to specifically target people who like similar products as the ones
they are selling.
Social media also gives companies greater control over their brand image. It allows fans and customers to leave
comments about companies, their products, or their services. In turn, these companies can evaluate this feedback and respond
in a way that shows they truly care. One company which does this extremely well is Zappos, an online shoe retailer. If customers
seem dissatisfied with anything, Zappos is quick to offer refunds, exchange items, or even send out free presents to keep
customers happy. As a result, you will find thousands of positive reviews about Zappos excellent customer service on several
social media sites.
However, companies shouldnt jump into social media without a carefully planned strategy, as this can cause more harm
than good. A common mistake is putting new hires or outside consultants in charge of social media accounts. The person
controlling thee accounts becomes the face of the company, so it is a must that they are knowledgeable about the companys
core values. Another mistake is using conservative, corporate language in posts and updates. On social media, people are
looking for personalities they can connect with, so companies shouldnt shy away from using humour or being colourful. Finally,
social media accounts should always provide value and other share-worthy content to fans, for that is the primary reason they
become followers. By keeping these tips in mind, organizations can join the social movement and take their businesses to the
next level.
43. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. Getting feedback using social media B. Selling products using social media
C. Explaining traditional advertising D. Explaining why customers buy things
44. One of the characteristics that social media can attract customers is that _______

A. Present companies B. Future companies C. Foreign companies D. Older companies
