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 39 to 43.
What is a bad habit? The most common definition is that it is something that we do regularly, almost without
thinking about it, and which has some sort of negative consequence. This consequence could affect those around us,
or it could affect us personally. Those who deny having bad habits are probably lying. Bad habits are part of what
makes us human.
Many early habits, like sucking our thumb, are broken when we are very young. We are either told to stop doing
it by our parents, or we consciously or subconsciously observe that others do not have the same habit, and we
gradually grow out of it. It is when we intentionally or unintentionally pick up new habits in our later childhood or
early adulthood that it becomes a problem. Unless we can break that habit early on, it becomes a part of our life, and
becomes 'programmed' into our brain.
A recent study of human memory suggests that no matter how hard we try to change our habits, it is the old
ways that tend to win, especially in situations where we are rushed, stressed or overworked. Habits that we thought
we had got rid of can suddenly come back. This is not good news for people who picked up bad habits early in life
and now want to change or break them. Even when we try to put new, good intentions into practice, those previously
learned habits remain stronger in more automatic, unconscious forms of memory.
(Adapted from Complete IELTS by Rawdon Wyatt)

Question 41. According to the passage, bad habits _______.
A. only start later in life B. are harmless when we are young
C. can last for a lifetime D. are only found in humans
Question 42. The phrase grow out of in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. doubt B. quit C. check D. gain
Question 43. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Bad habits may return when we are under pressure.
B. If we develop bad habits early in life, they are harder to get rid of.
C. It can be extremely hard to break a bad habit.

How frequently have you forgotten a telephone number, a name, or an address? We all do, and although it may
occasionally cause frustration, it is an inherent aspect of human nature. Worldwide, approximately one in 14 people
over the age of 65 develop dementia—a condition which results in memory loss and the gradual worsening of
mental abilities. It is estimated that there are 50 million people living with dementia in the world, with one person
developing dementia every three seconds. The number of people living with the condition is expected to double
every 20 years, and it is becoming a major challenge for countries all over the world. Alzheimer’s is the most
common form of dementia, accounting for 60 to 70 percent of all cases.
Researchers are working to find ways to prevent or reverse dementia and memory loss. Currently, however,
there is no cure—only treatments that reduce the symptoms for a limited time. But there is hope. Scientists now
know that Alzheimer’s patients have high levels of a particular protein in the brain. They believe that this protein is
responsible for destroying nerve cells and causing the disease. Some recent studies have shown that new drugs can
reduce the amount of this protein in the brain, and scientists are hopeful that such drugs may be able to reverse the
effects of the disease in the future.
While we wait for a cure, there are a few things we can do to reduce the risk of developing dementia. Experts
recommend eating a healthy diet, not smoking, limiting how much alcohol we drink, and maintaining a healthy
weight and blood pressure. They also suggest exercising our brains by reading, doing puzzles, and being socially
active. Last but certainly not least, we should have regular physical exercise. Recent research has shown that
physical exercise—like running for at least 30 minutes—causes the brain to create new brain cells. Interestingly, the
new cells are produced in the memory area of the brain, which perhaps explains the link between exercise and
improved memory. Now, that is food for thought.

How to Think about … Calories
A straightforward (34) ________ of the energy in our food, calories sit at the heart of conventional weight control
advice. Consume too many, or fail to burn enough, and you will (35) ________ weight. Want to slim down? Eat less
and move more. Dig a little deeper, however, and you find it isn’t that simple.
This idea of the body as a furnace and food as its fuel was popularised by Wilbur Atwater in the 19th century. He
deduced that there are three main components with (36) ________ we can calculate the calorie content of any food:
protein and carbohydrates contain 4 calories per gram, while fats contain 9. Combine these and the result informs the
calorie content on food labels everywhere.
But think about how food is consumed and you hit your first problem. Take an orange, says Giles Yeo, a
geneticist at the University of Cambridge. An orange is mainly carbohydrate, or sugar. ‘When you drink orange
juice, your body will absorb the sugar [quickly] because there is (37) ________ digestion required,’ says Yeo. Eat
orange segments, (38) ________, and it takes energy for the digestive system to work on the fibre and extract the
sugar. Orange juice causes a more rapid spike in blood sugar levels than the orange segments, and regular surges in
blood sugar levels can increase the risk of many conditions, from diabetes to dementia. The orange segments take
longer to reach the gut, stimulating hormones that help us feel full.

For most of us, if we describe a holiday as a disaster, it might mean we got robbed, were stuck indoors as it
poured with rain outside, or experienced any number of other things that could spoil our two weeks of relaxation.
We generally want to avoid these things. So you might be surprised to learn that there are now companies that
actually organise ‘disaster experiences’ for people looking for adventure in their time off.
You can travel to look for a storm - the kind that might blow your house down. Or perhaps you might like to
visit a war zone? Visas, travel and accommodation can all be arranged and personal protection can also be provided.
There is even a company that organises a realistic simulation of a plane crash ‘including a smoke-filled cabin’.
According to their website, this could provide an excellent day out for employees as a company team-building
experience. Are they serious? Don’t we have enough stress at work without having to pretend we’re all going to die!
James Wilcox, whose company does specialise in active areas of war, also argues his ‘disaster’ tours bring
much-needed money to the places affected and locals welcome them. ‘To be honest, the majority think we’re crazy,
but the second reaction is that they’re proud. It’s as if they’ve almost forgotten they have a lot to offer. They might
be struggling, but other people are willing to take the risk and travel halfway around the world to visit.’

It's sometimes argued that most of us have a broadly similar number of accomplishments; it's just that some
people are better at advertising them than others. The implication of this might be that genuine accomplishments
matter less in life than skilful self-promotion. This rather sad state of affairs has come about because of the
convention in many cultures prohibiting boasting - or ‘bragging' - with the result that people who have notable
skills or attributes don't necessarily get the recognition they deserve. Indeed, there is growing evidence from
academic studies to indicate that those who are prepared to promote their accomplishments at school, in sports or in
the workplace enjoy greater success. So what to do if you're one of the many people who find talking about your
own achievements awkward and uncomfortable?
One idea is to make sure you always sound grateful for your achievements. So when others comment on your
success, say something like, ‘I can't believe it either!' Try not to lose a sense of awe and wonder for your greatest
achievements, because surveys confirm we dislike those who act as though they deserve success. Another technique
is to talk about the hard parts as well - the failures and embarrassments - because it helps people relate to you. If this
is true, the frequently heard recommendation to always accentuate the positive is incorrect. A related though
separate approach is to emphasise the new skills you acquired on the road to an accomplishment; for example, the
time-management or leadership skills you developed while acting as president of a school club. In this way you can
project the idea that personal development was your number one goal, rather than the accomplishment itself.
The bad news is that people may be able to see through these techniques. The practice of talking up your
accomplishments while at the same time appearing self-effacing has been labelled 'humblebragging'. And according
to a study at Harvard Business School, the majority of us find it insincere. Which may leave you wondering how
exactly you should go about making yourself stand out from the crowd. If so, remember this: there's some evidence
that people don't actually remember you for your achievements anyway. A technique as simple as finding something
you share with the person you're talking to, whether it's a friend you both know, a mutual birthplace or a type of
music you both enjoy, may in fact be a more effective way of fixing yourself in someone's mind.

Deadly TikTok challenges
TikTok, the popular app that (19)______ users to create and share short videos, is now the most
downloaded app in the world. One of the most popular ways users engage with the app is to carry out
challenges. A successful challenge will (20)_____viral, with hundreds of thousands of people around the
world taking part. Copying another person’s video is hardly original or creative. Even so, it’s easy to see the
appeal, especially among young audiences. Anyone with a Smartphone can get involved. No talent is required
beyond (21) ______extroversion and commitment. Users can just ride the trend to gain popularity.

Many people assume that video games have a detrimental effect on young people. A lot of time in front
of a screen is bad for the mind and the body, they believe. Newspaper headlines often express the same
opinion - and combat games cause the most concern because of the violence. But is there any evidence for this
view? According to a report in American Psychologists, the truth is not so simple. Playing video games is
sometimes good for children's education, health, and social skills.
Research shows that video games can improve certain mental skills. This is especially true for combat
games. These games teach players to think about objects in three dimensions and this makes them better at
studying science, technology, engineering, and maths. Other types of video games do not usually provide
these benefits.
However, other types of video games can have other positive effects. In 2013, scientists did some
research into the effect the role-playing games (RPGs) on children. The research showed that when children
spend a lot of time playing RPGs, they get better grades at school than children who do not play them. Other
research showed that playing any kind of video game, including violent games, improves children’s creativity.
But using a computer or smartphone for emails or other tasks does not provide this benefit.
Question 24. According to paragraph 2, playing combat games help students improve their study of all the
following subjects EXCEPT:
A. technology B. science C. maths D. art
Question 25. The word them in paragraph 3 refers to_____.
A. scientists B. grades C. RPGs D. children
Question 26. According to the passage, you learn to think about things in three dimensions when
you________.
A. play combat games B. do scientific studies
C. study engineering or maths D. play any kind of video games
A. Students improve their Maths through game playing
B. Playing computer games improves mental skills
C. Why video games are good for children ?
D. Negative effects of video games to children
Question 28. The word detrimental in paragraph 1 mostly means______.
A. positive B. negative C. beneficial D. practical
We are all getting older, of course. But this term refers to the tendency of the workforce's share
occupied by young workers to decline, while the share of older workers increases. The former phenomenon is
due to gradually declining birth rates and the latter phenomenon reflects a trend for workers to retire later and
for women workers to return to the workforce in growing numbers after their children have gone to school, or
left home. So the average " age" of the workers, arithmetically, increases.
This creates some dilemmas for policy-makers. For a long time, governments were encouraging early
retirement, on the rationale that retiring early would create room for younger people entering the workforce.
Now they worry about the implications for public finances, and how the workforce would be able to pay for
aged care without raising taxes.
A common response is to lift the retirement age. At a number of levels this makes sense. Fewer jobs are
manual. But what about those workers who have spent their lives in manual jobs? Increasing life expectancy
reflects falling deaths from disease and accidents, but it does not make postponing retirement any easier for
workers whose bodies, for work-related purposes, are worn out by the time they hit their mid-60s. Some have
been in low-paid jobs. This makes an argument for easier access to disability pensions, but the trend has been
in the opposite direction, in order to reduce public spending. Those with low capacity are being asked to pay
for demographic changes from which they have not benefited.
Governments urge employees to work longer but have so far found no effective antidote to employer
discrimination against older workers. Another issue is the fact that several developments in technology affect
the workplace as well as causing difficulties for aged employees. These include computer chips; word
processing, spreadsheets and personal computing; communication technology; the Internet; and barcodes and
scanning(…)

The world is getting smaller, at least when it comes to language. More and more people speak the three
most common languages: English, Spanish, and Mandarin. As a result, local languages are being forgotten. As
cultures adjust to these changes, and languages aren't taught to children or spoken at home, these local
languages are slowly disappearing.
A language is said to be in trouble when less than 30 percent of children in the community speak it. It is
considered a dying language. If children no longer learn to use a language, it will have fewer and fewer
speakers over time and, eventually, the language will be gone. Why keep languages alive? Languages hold the
key to understanding a culture's beliefs and values. According to Dr. Cumberland, who is working to save
Assiniboine, a Native American language, a dying language needs a dictionary and people to understand and
record its grammar. Most importantly, you need to listen to those who still speak the language. This can be very
difficult, especially if there are very few speakers of the language left. For example, when researchers were
working to save the language Ayapaneco in Mexico, it was hard for them to record anything because the last
two people on Earth who could speak the language refused to speak to each other! Today, the United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) lists more than 3,000 languages that may
disappear by the end of this century. Some of the languages still have a few million speakers and may survive.
Unfortunately, hundreds of languages have fewer than 25 speakers remaining and may soon be lost forever.
Question 27. What is the main idea of this reading?
A. Many languages are disappearing around the world.
B. Most people speak English, Spanish, and Mandarin.
C. Languages help us understand other cultures.
D. People should learn new languages.
Question 28. Why are local languages being spoken less and less?
A. Children do not talk to their grandparents.
B. People who know the language don't want to speak to each other.
C. People use computers to communicate now.
D. People prefer to learn and speak more common languages.
A. The last two people who could speak Ayapaneco liked to speak to each other.
B. To save a dying language, it is necessary to listen to people who still speak it.
C. Fewer and fewer people speak local languages.
D. According to UNESCO, more than 3,000 languages may go extinct by the end of this century.
Question 30. When is a language considered to be dying?

A. when it doesn't have a dictionary
B. when it is only spoken by old people
C. when less than 30 percent of local children learn it
D. when about 50 percent of local people speak it

Due to the nature of our business, it's sometimes necessary that our staff work at night. Night shifts can be
particularly demanding on employees’ well-being and health. This can include disruption to the body clock,
fatigue, sleeping difficulties, disturbed appetite and digestion, reliance on sedatives or stimulants, and other
symptoms of ill health. To combat this, we do not have employees on night shifts for extended periods. This is
because workers’ bodies will just have started to adapt to the new pattern.
We find rotation shifts every two to three days are best for workers and weekly or fortnightly rotations are
the least comfortable for workers. Forward-rotating programs (moving from morning to afternoon to night
shifts) are better than backward-rotating ones in terms of sleep loss and tiredness.
If someone works at night, there are rules covering the hours they work. Night-time working hours are
usually between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. – but this can be flexible and should be discussed between you and us. To
qualify as night working, the night time period must be no more than 8 hours long and include the period
between midnight and 5 a.m. Any of our staff under 18 years are not allowed to be night workers.
We must make sure that you don't work more than an average of 8 hours in a 24-hour period. We must also
keep records of any night workers’ working hours to prove they aren't exceeding night working limits, and we
must keep the records for at least 2 years. These records can be inspected by you at any time on request.
If you agree to working at night for us, the agreement will be put in writing. If you are to begin working at
night, we must perform a health assessment before you become a night worker and on a regular basis after that.
Usually, this is just done with a questionnaire, which was created in collaboration with qualified health
professionals. If there are any health questions regarding your health and night work, we will offer you a
follow-up examination by a health professional if you still wish to work nights.
A. It is reasonable for us to work on a night shift in order that we can get extra income.
B. Night working can be available at any time on workers’ request.
C. We should look into specific regulations relating to night workers if we want to work on a night shift.
D. We should take part in many programs in which we can work on night shifts for a long time.
Question 35. Which of the following could best serve as the topic of the passage?
A. Rules for Considering Time Working.
B. Notes for Employees Considering Night Time Working
C. Night shifts have great impacts on workers' well-being and health
D. What should we do when going on business?
Question 36. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The company must retain records relating to night workers’ hours for leastwise 2 years.
B. Backward-rotating shift schedules are best for minimizing employees’ fatigue.
C. The maximum length of a night shift at the company is 24 hours.
D. Under existing regulations, nighttime working hours are required to be from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m.
