correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
As the pace of today’s working life blurs the line between personal time and work time, so it
increasingly mixes personal lifestyle and work style. And as companies concentrate on attracting and
keeping a younger workforce for its technical skills and enthusiasm for change, office culture is becoming
an extension of youth culture. This may be no bad thing. Along with the company games room come
things that matter deeply to young people: opportunity, responsibility, respect. For most of human history
the middle-aged have ruled. With years came wisdom, experience, connections and influence. Rarely did
they change jobs, years of loyal service counted most. However, in the future, older workers will not
disappear, or even reduce in numbers, but they will have to share power with fresh-faced youths.
There have been a number of reasons for this change; the most dramatic of these is technology.
Children have always been more expert than their parents at something, but usually a game or a fashion,
not the century’s most important business tool. The Internet has triggered the first industrial revolution
in history to be led by the young. This is the age group that created Netscape, the first commercial web
browser; Napster, the music-sharing technology that shocked the music industry; Yahoo! and many of the
other web giants.
In many companies, rigid seniority-based hierarchies have given way to hierarchies based on merit.
No longer are the abilities to navigate internal bureaucracies and please your superiors the most valued
skills. Today’s employees are free agents who stay with companies only as long as they feel challenged
and rewarded; moving from job to job is now a sign of ambition and initiative. Today’s young people are
valued as workers for different reasons than their predecessors: they welcome change; they think
differently; they are independent; they are entrepreneurial; they want opportunity more than money and
security and finally, they demand respect.

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 36 to 42.
Even if the term ‘appropriate technology’ is a relatively new one, the concept certainly isn't. In the
1930s Mahatma Gandhi claimed that the advanced technology used by western industrialised nations did
not represent the right route to progress for his homeland, India. His favourite machines were the sewing
machine, a device invented 'out of love', he said, and the bicycle, a means of transport that he used all his
life. He wanted the poor villagers of India to use technology in a way that empowered them and helped
them to become self-reliant.
More recently the term 'appropriate technology' has come to mean not just technology which is suited
to the needs and capabilities of the user, but technology that takes particular account of environmental,
ethical and cultural considerations. That is clearly a much more difficult thing to achieve. Often it is found
in rural communities in developing or less industrialised countries. For example, solar-powered lamps
that bring light to areas with no electricity and water purifiers that work simply by the action of sucking
through a straw. But the principle of appropriate technology does not only apply to developing countries.
It also has its place in the developed world. For example, a Swedish state-owned company, Jernhuset, has
found a way to harness the energy produced by the 250,000 bodies rushing through Stockholm's central
train station each day. The body heat is absorbed by the building's ventilation system, then used to warm
up water that is pumped through pipes over to the new office building nearby. It's old technology - a
system of pipes, water and pumps - but used in a new way. It is expected to bring down central heating
costs in the building by up to twenty per cent.
Wherever it is deployed, there is no guarantee, however, that so-called 'appropriate technology' will in
fact be appropriate. After some visiting engineers observed how labour-intensive and slow it was for the
women of a Guatemalan village to shell corn by hand, they designed a simple mechanical device to do
the job more quickly. The new device certainly saved time, but after a few weeks the women returned to
the old manual method. Why? Because they valued the time they spent hand-shelling: it enabled them to
chat and exchange news with each other.

In another case, in Malawi, a local entrepreneur was encouraged to manufacture super-efficient wood-
burning stoves under licence to sell to local villagers. Burning wood in a traditional open fire, which is a
common method of cooking food in the developing world, is responsible for 10-20% of all global CO2
emissions, so this seemed to be an excellent scheme. However the local entrepreneur was so successful
that he went out and bought himself a whole fleet of gas-guzzling cars. 'We haven't worked out the CO2
implications of that yet,' said a spokesman from the organisation that promoted the scheme.
