1. Read the passage and answer the questions below:
Advancements in technology, particularly automation and artificial intelligence, have
revolutionized various industries, promising increased efficiency and productivity. However,
alongside these benefits, there is growing concern about the potential ramifications for
employment. As automation becomes more prevalent, there is a fear that it may lead to job
displacement and exacerbate existing inequalities in the workforce.
One of the primary concerns regarding the impact of automation on employment is the
displacement of low-skilled workers. Tasks that are repetitive and routine in nature are
often the first to be automated, affecting jobs in manufacturing, retail, and transportation
sectors. While automation can streamline processes and reduce costs for businesses, it
also raises questions about the future employment prospects for individuals without
specialized skills or education.
Moreover, the rapid pace of technological advancement means that workers need to adapt
and acquire new skills to remain competitive in the job market. This presents challenges for
individuals who may struggle to access training opportunities or afford education programs
necessary to transition into emerging industries. As a result, there is a risk of widening the
gap between those who can adapt to technological change and those who are left behind.
On the other hand, proponents of automation argue that it has the potential to create new
job opportunities and drive innovation in sectors that were previously labor-intensive. By
automating repetitive tasks, workers can focus on more complex and creative aspects of
their jobs, leading to higher job satisfaction and productivity. Additionally, automation can
spur the development of new industries and occupations, such as data analysis and
programming, which require skills in technology and STEM fields.
Nevertheless, the societal impact of automation extends beyond employment concerns. It
raises ethical questions about the distribution of wealth and the role of government in
providing social safety nets for individuals affected by technological disruption.
Policymakers must grapple with these complex issues to ensure that the benefits of
automation are shared equitably and that measures are in place to support workers
through periods of transition.

2 Read the passage and answer the questions below:
In the heart of Central America lies the remnants of a civilization shrouded in mystery and
wonder - the ancient Maya civilization. Flourishing for over two millennia, the Maya
civilization reached its zenith between 250 and 900 AD, boasting remarkable achievements
in art, architecture, mathematics, and astronomy. Despite their grandeur, the collapse of the
Maya civilization around the 10th century AD remains one of the greatest enigmas of history.
The Maya civilization was renowned for its sophisticated city-states, with monumental
structures such as pyramids, temples, and palaces dominating the landscape. These
architectural marvels, built without the aid of metal tools or beasts of burden, stand as a
testament to the ingenuity and engineering prowess of the Maya people. The city of Tikal,
nestled deep within the rainforests of present-day Guatemala, is one of the most iconic Maya
sites, boasting towering pyramids and intricately carved stelae.
In addition to their architectural achievements, the Maya were accomplished astronomers
and mathematicians. They developed a complex calendar system, known as the Long Count
calendar, which accurately tracked time over long periods. Their astronomical observations
allowed them to predict celestial events such as eclipses with remarkable accuracy. The
 Maya also made significant contributions to mathematics, including the concept of zero and
positional notation.
Despite their advancements, the Maya civilization experienced a mysterious collapse around
the 10th century AD. The reasons for this decline are still debated among scholars, with
theories ranging from environmental degradation to warfare and political unrest. The
abandonment of major cities and the decline of population suggest a combination of factors
may have contributed to the downfall of this once-great civilization.
Today, the legacy of the ancient Maya civilization lives on through its magnificent ruins,
intricate artwork, and enduring mysteries. Archaeologists continue to unravel the secrets of
this enigmatic civilization, shedding light on its remarkable achievements and ultimate
demise. Yet, amidst the ruins of ancient cities, the Maya people persevere, maintaining their
rich cultural heritage and connection to the past.
