Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question.
Successful students often do the followings while studying. First, they have an overview before reading.
Next, they look for important information and pay greater attention to it (which often needs jumping forward or
backward to process information). They also relate important points to one another. Also, they activate and use
their prior knowledge. When they realize that their understanding is not good, they do not wait to change
strategies. Last, they can monitor understanding and take action to correct or “fix up” mistakes in comprehension.
Conversely, students with low academic achievement often demonstrate ineffective study skills. They tend
to assume a passive role, in learning and rely on others (e.g., teachers, parents) to monitor their studying, for
example, low-achieving students often do not monitor their understanding of content; they may not be aware of the
purpose of studying; and they show little evidence of looking back or employing “fix-up” strategies to fix
understanding problems. Students who struggle with learning new information seem to be unaware that they must
extent effort beyond simply reading the content to understand and remember it.
Children with learning disabilities do not plan and judge the quality of their studying. Their studying may
be disorganized. Students with learning problems face challenges with personal organization as well. They often
have difficulty keeping track of materials and assignments, following directions, and completing work on time.
Unlike good studiers who employ a variety of study skills in a flexible yet purposeful manner, low-achieving
students use a restricted range of study skills. They cannot explain why good study strategies are important for
learning; and they tend to use the same, often ineffective study approach for all learning tasks, ignoring task
content, structure or difficulty.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question.
Modern civilization is heavily dependent on energy. Without reliable power sources, we couldn’t operate
machines, use transportation, communicate via the Internet, or do many other things. Although everyone recognizes
the importance of energy, deciding what kind of energy the world should use in the future is not a simple task. The
two leading candidates for this role are green energy and nuclear energy.
Currently, most of the energy we use is derived from fossil fuels. Although this energy source has got us
this far, there are several problems with it. For starters, it is a finite resource which is quickly running out. Some
analysts have even estimated that the Earth could run out of coal and oil within the next 50 years. Burning fossil
fuels also creates large amount of pollution, which is harmful to the environment. Although fossil fuels still provide
the majority of our power, governments are seeking better energy sources to use going forward.
Green energy is one option that is becoming increasingly attractive. It includes technologies such as solar,
wind, and hydro power. These are seen as clean sources of energy because they cause very little pollution. In
addition, they are completely renewable, so there is no danger that it will run out. The major disadvantage with
green energy sources is that they are not cheap.
The other alternative is nuclear power. Like green energy, it is also a renewable source of power that will
not run out, and it also doesn’t produce air pollution. In addition, nuclear power is more reliable than green energy,
as it doesn’t depend on sunshine, rain, or wind to operate. The major issues with nuclear power are safety concerns
and nuclear waste. Nuclear power plants create a considerable amount of nuclear waste which is extremely
hazardous to people’s health. If they happen to have a meltdown, this could destroy the surrounding area for years
to come.
The recent nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Japan brought this reality into the spotlight once again. In
response, Germany announced it would close down eight of its nuclear plants immediately, and close the rest by
2022. Meanwhile, other nations refuse to give up on nuclear power, stating that these disasters are rare. The debate
of whether to use green or nuclear power will likely continue for some time. In the end, it is quite possible that both
energy sources will be used to fuel our planet.
