A Working Vacation
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to get your dream job? It can take years to
get the education and develop the skills you need for the perfect job. However, there is a
way to experience your dream job without having to get the required training or degree.
Since 2004, Brian Kurth’s company, Vocation Vacations, has been connecting people with
mentors who have the jobs of their dreams.
Kurth had been working for a phone company before starting his own company. He didn’t
like his job, and he had a long time to think about it on his drive to and from work. He also
thought about his dream job while driving. He was interested in becoming a dog trainer, but
he didn’t want to take any chances and switch to a field he didn’t have experience in. He
really wanted to know what the job was like and if it was realistic for him to work towards
his goal. So, he found a mentor – a dog trainer that could tell him about the job and
everything it involved. After that, he helped his friends find mentors to explore jobs they
were interested in. They thought it was helpful to talk to people who had their dream jobs
before spending lots of time and money getting the training they needed for those jobs.
Kurth saw how much this helped his friends, so he decided to turn it into his business. He
started Vocation Vacations in 2004, and by 2005, the company was offering experience with
over 200 dream jobs. Today, about 300 mentors work with the company to share their
1
knowledge about their jobs. Customers pay to experience the job of their dreams and work
with these mentors to see what a job is really like. A “job vacation” costs between $350 and
$3,000 and can be for one to three days. Many people use Vocation Vacations to see if their
dream job is a career path they want to continue. Others do it just to experience the job of
their dreams one time.
Vocation Vacations jobs are in the fields of fashion, food, entertainment, sports and animals.
Many people want to try glamorous jobs. For example, they want to try working as actors,
music producers, photographers and fashion designers. According to Kurth, some other
popular dream jobs are working as bakers, hotel managers and wedding planners.

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 12–19.
Scientists have identified two ways in which species disappear. The first is through ordinary
or “background” extinctions, where species that fail to adapt are slowly replaced by more
adaptable life forms. The second is when large numbers of species go to the wall in
relatively short periods of biological time. There have been five such extinctions, each
provoked by cataclysmic evolutionary events caused by some geological eruption, climate
shift, or space junk slamming into the Earth. Scientists now believe that another mass
extinction of species is currently under way – and this time human fingerprints are on the
trigger.
How are we are doing it? Simply by demanding more and more space for ourselves. In our
assault on the ecosystems around us we have used a number of tools, from spear and gun to
bulldozer and chainsaw. Certain especially rich ecosystems have proved the most
vulnerable. In Hawaii more than half of the native birds are now gone – some 50 species.
Such carnage has taken place all across the island communities of the Pacific and Indian
oceans. While many species were hunted to extinction, others simply succumbed to the
„introduced predators’ that humans brought with them: the cat, the dog, the pig, and the rat.
Today the tempo of extinction is picking up speed. Hunting is no longer the major culprit,
although rare birds and animals continue to be butchered for their skin, feathers, tusks, and
internal organs, or taken as savage pets. Today the main threat comes from the destruction
of the habitat of wild plants, animals, and insects need to survive. The draining and
2
 damming of wetland and river courses threatens the aquatic food chain and our own
seafood industry. Overfishing and the destruction of fragile coral reefs destroy ocean
biodiversity. Deforestation is taking a staggering toll, particularly in the tropics where the
most global biodiversity is at risk. The shinking rainforest cover of the Congo and Amazon
river basins and such place as Borneo and Madagascar have a wealth of species per hectare
existing nowhere else. As those precious hectares are drowned or turned into arid pasture
and cropland, such species disappear forever.

It is true that keeping fit will benefit a person’s health in many ways. It has become clear in
recent years, that a large number of people are doing less and less exercise and this is now
causing many serious illnesses, putting a strain on doctors and hospitals. However, some
experts believe that too much exercise can do just as much (44) ____.
Although it is true that moderate exercise such as walking can be very beneficial to a
person’s health, it is not the only one factor (45) keeps us healthy. Diet is also extremely
important and I would argue that it is probably even more important than exercise, although
the ideal is for both of these factors to work together. It seems to me that many people are
unwilling to put in the effort required to become fitter.
(46) , too much exercise can also cause problems. So people are urged to take
moderate exercise and eat moderately healthily rather than embarking on extreme diets and
training. In too many instances, ultra–fit people have had heart attacks or dropped down
dead.
In all, governments need to find ways of (47) people to take responsibility for their own
health. People need to realize that eating healthy food does not have to cost a (48) , nor
is it difficult to prepare healthy meals themselves. People need to be better educated about
their health.

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 from 17 to 24.
Newspapers can be traced back to 16th century Venice. In 1566, handwritten news
sheets - called 'avis' or ‘gazette' – filled with information on wars and politics in Europe
were distributed weekly in Venice. Similar news sheets soon started to appear in other
8
European countries. By 1615, Germany and Austria were publishing weeklies. And in
1621, the first news sheets appeared in England.
At first, these news sheets only printed news which came from outside the country in
which they were printed. Discussion of local or national issues was avoided. Europe’s
governments did not tolerate anything negative being said about them as it could lead to
national unrest.
Such censorship slowed the development of newspapers. Nevertheless, a belief in the
importance of a 'free press’ slowly began to take hold in Europe. England was among the
first countries to escape government control of the press. This occurred during the reign of
King Charles I in the 17th century, when, during a period of breakdown in the king's
authority, people began to publish what they wanted.
Eventually, free press had the right to criticize government and voice other ideas
freely. In the middle of the 18th century, Sweden became the first country to make press
freedom a part of its law.
In the 19th century, the newspaper industry was transformed by the invention of the
telegraph. The telegraph was a communication system that allowed messages to be sent
over long distances in a matter of minutes. It wasn’t long before newspapers became
society's primary means of spreading and receiving information. In 1880, the first
photographs appeared in newspapers and, by the end of the century, all the basic technical
tools for the modern newspaper were in place.
The story of newspapers in the 20 th century was one of adaptation to changing
consumer and media markets. The invention of radio, TV, and later the Internet,
repeatedly drove newspapers to re-invent themselves. Also, during the 20th century, mass-
market advertising increased profitability for newspapers. This attracted large, publicly-
owned corporations who began buying newspapers from the descendants of company
founders.
Over the years, people have periodically predicted the extinction of newspapers. In fact,
every time a new media has come into being, dire predictions have been made for existing
forms (e.g. television was supposed to have replaced radio, radio was supposed to have
replaced newspapers). Yet history has repeatedly shown that new media do not replace
existing media. Instead, what happens is that media consumption grows, which creates
the necessary space for the new media to become a part of the media landscape.
According to the World Association of Newspapers (WAN), each day more than 1.5
billion people around the world read a newspaper. The WAN has also estimated the total
annual worth of the global newspaper industry and put it at just under 180 billion USD.
Such statistics suggest the newspaper industry is healthier than at any other time in its
history. Indeed, if the industry proves itself as capable of adapting to change as it has done
in the past, it is unlikely that newspapers will be disappearing from newsstands anytime
soon.

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 25 to 29.
Why are there so many grandmothers and so few grandfathers? In other words, why
do men die younger than women? Is this because men are afraid of getting old and
helpless and so they prefer to die before that happens? Perhaps they fear to be left alone
by their women and so decide to do the leaving first.
Many explanations are given for the fact that men die earlier than women. Men are
stronger physically, yet women can hang on longer to life. Both men and women are
emotional creatures but women are not afraid or ashamed to cry while men refuse to do so.
They are afraid of being thought "soft". Some men, when they are upset, play loud music
or dig in the garden to relieve their feelings. Many men like an orderly life so that they
bury themselves in their work or want a wife with some children or long to take part in
wars where there is a definite chain of command. There is a leader to give orders and a
known enemy to fight against and defeat. All these make men feel they live in a rational
world.
So the majority of men like a rational world. Rationality is fine but it does not include
everything that makes life joyful and fun or even messy and frustrating. When a man
refuses to cry he is refusing to accept that his emotions are part of him. Of course some
men do not follow this pattern. Bob Hawke is capable of crying in public whereas
Margaret Thatcher is probably incapable of crying at any time.
We need to cry because that shows our ability to suffer. If we do not suffer we are not
10
really alive at all. Suffering can be creative or destructive. If we can all learn to cry and
laugh and shout and dance openly, we are living creatively and adding something to the
human race. We often say men suffer more from stress and therefore they die earlier. Are
we not saying in another way that they do not know how to suffer in the right way – with
tears and laughter instead of silence – and so they are miserable and just give up? That is
just my theory of course. Have you a better one?
Question 25: What does the word "that" in the passage refer to?
A. The fact that men get old and helpless
B. The fact that they fear to be left alone
C. The fact that men die younger than women
D. The fact that they decide to do the leaving first
Question 26: What’s the main question the article is intended to discuss?
A. Why women are more emotional than men B. Why suffering is different in men and
women
C. Why men die earlier than women D. Why men like a rational world
Question 27: What is found the same for both men and women?
A. They like to cry B. They are physically strong
C. They are emotional creatures D. They want to play loud music
Question 28: The phrase “to do the leaving” is closest in meaning to .
A. set off B. go down C. pass away D. depart
Question 29: What’s the writer’s opinion toward crying?
A. It is a good thing for people to cry.
B. It is all right for women to cry but shameful for men.
C. Tears are not real signs of suffering.
D. To be silent is better than to cry.
