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.
We all know about magnets, and if you have studied Physics in school, chances are you've
studied a lot about them. But these objects don't simply help us to magically attract pieces of iron. In
many aspects of our daily lives, magnets are extremely useful.
Many computers use magnets to store data on hard drives. Magnets alter the direction of
magnetic material on a hard disk in segments that then represent computer data. Later, computers
read the direction of each segment of the magnetic material to “read” the data. The small speakers
found in computers, televisions, and radios also use magnets; inside the speaker, a wire coil and
magnet convert electric signals into sound vibrations.
Though it may not be obvious, most homes contain many magnets. We use small refrigerator
magnets to hold papers, bottle openers and other small objects to the metal refrigerator door. A
pocket compass uses a magnetic needle to show which way is north. Vacuum cleaners, blenders and
washing machines all have electric motors that contain one or more magnets. You’ll also find magnets
in phones, door bells, and children's toys.
In the industrial world, magnets also offer a wide range of benefits. Magnets in electric
generators turn mechanical energy into electricity, while electric motors use magnets to convert
electricity back into mechanical energy. In junkyards, electrically-powered magnets in cranes can help
us easily grab and move very large pieces of metal, some weighing thousands of pounds. Meanwhile,
in food processing, magnets remove small metal bits from grains and other food. Farmers use
magnets to catch pieces of metal that cows eat out in the field. The cow swallows the magnet with its
food, and it traps metal fragments as it moves through the animal’s digestive system.

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.
ChatGPT is a new AI chatbot that can not only fluently answers questions from online users but
also generate realistic, human-like essays. This is why the chatbot is causing a debate in the field of
education, with experts, teachers, and students divided about whether it will ruin learning or enhance
it.
Mike Sharples, a professor at the Open University in the UK, had ChatGPT generate a scientific
article that he said "could pass a first academic review." And this is what many teachers are concerned
about: AI systems becoming increasingly powerful, and students learning how to use AI in education
much faster than older generations can keep up. They see an awful scenario where professors might
think that they have taught their students well when they receive error-free assignments but, in fact,
it's all down to ChatGPT or a similar tool. Debarka Sengupta, an AI expert, has similar concerns. He
worries that academic standards could suffer if students start to depend on the technology. If they
stop learning how to write essays themselves and use ChatGPT instead, they could become
"extremely incompetent and addicted."
However, there are those who see the chatbot as a tool with immense potential like Bernadette
Mathew, a PhD student in biology. She has been learning how to write computer programs to help
her analyse the huge amount of data that her experiments produce, but learning to code left her
struggling to keep up with her research. And this is where she turned to ChatGPT, which helped
explain what she doesn't understand about coding, find errors in her own codes, and sometimes even
code for her. ChatGPT could also help in other areas. For example, the ideas it generate can prompt
students to write the difficult first words or first paragraph of an essay, to give them the confidence
they need to start writing more.
Calculators changed how mathematics were taught. Before calculators, the result was
paramount. But, when calculators came, it also became a necessity to show how you had solved the
problem. Some experts have suggested that a similar thing could happen with academic essays,
where they are no longer only evaluated on what they say but also on how students edit and improve
a text generated by an AI. ChatGPT is definitely not going away, and adapting to it will be a challenge
for teaching, but there are also opportunities for schools, colleges, and universities to get better at
educating.
