correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
Depression and anxiety while abroad are more common than people like to admit. It’s hard to
complain when you’ve spent the whole day lounging in the European countryside and get to go home to
your castle-view new apartment, but for people with depression or anxiety, even the most amazing things
can be drowned out by emotion. It’s easy for people who are battling this type of disorder to feel guilty,
spoiled, or even confused for being down even when they’re “living the high life” abroad, so they keep
their feelings to themselves and hide the problem, potentially ruining their time abroad.
Chances are, if you think you’re developing depression or anxiety while abroad, you’ve probably
been feeling some of these things for a long time, but nothing has made them surface quite like going
abroad does. It’s crucial to deal with the problem as you first begin to notice it and take self-care seriously
while abroad, as they aren’t feelings that are going to be magically fixed.
Illnesses like depression and anxiety are different for everyone, but ultimately you will need to take
similar steps to make it more bearable while abroad. Start by talking to your family back home, program
director, or school guidance counsellor and have them help you speak with your host family, find a suitable
doctor and/or therapist while abroad, and work through any international treatment or insurance issues.
You are not the first person to go abroad with baggage, and there are people available and programs set up
to help those who need it.

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.
Panama, country of Central America located on the Isthmus of Panama, the narrow bridge of land
that connects North and South America. Embracing the isthmus and more than 1,600 islands off its Atlantic
and Pacific coasts, the tropical nation is renowned as the site of the Panama Canal, which cuts through its
midsection. It is equally well known for its natural beauty, for its diverse plant and animal life, including
hundreds of bird and tree species, and for its vibrant music and culture.
The home of several Native American peoples, such as the Guaymí, Kuna, and Chocó, Panama
became the first Spanish colony on the Pacific. Celebrated as “the door to the seas and key to the universe,”
it served in the 1530s as the staging point for the Spanish conquest of the Inca empire, and until the 19th
century it was a transhipment point for gold and silver destined for Spain. With the independence of
Colombia, which once controlled Panama, from Spain, Panama came to serve as another staging point, this
time for oceangoing migrants to the gold fields of California.
Since 1914 the 51-mile-long Panama Canal, which connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, has
afforded a long-sought shortcut for shipping and assures the country’s standing as one of the most strategic
transportation hubs of the world. The canal also secures Panama’s ongoing role in international affairs and
world commerce. The United States relinquished jurisdiction of the Panama Canal on December 31, 1999,
marking an unprecedented shift in Panamanian society. For the first time in nearly a century as an
independent nation, Panama controlled the entirety of its national territory.
Panama enjoys a lively mix of cultural influences, expressed in the country’s cuisine, artwork, music,
and literature. Its capital, Panama City, is located on the Pacific coast just east of the canal. A cosmopolitan
city where skyscrapers tower above whitewashed bungalows, it enjoys a handsome setting and a growing
importance as a commercial and financial services centre for the region. However, its economic progress
has been hampered periodically by environmental problems and political turmoil.
