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.
Just getting out of a tough relationship and looking for a distraction? This new travel app called Breakup
Tours might be for you. Developed by a Hong Kong-based company, it offers experiences and services
aimed at people who are dealing with heartbreak. Stephen Chung, co-founder of the company, says the app
was inspired by the belief that traveling is the best way to get over heartbreak. “Like changes, relationship
breakups are hard,” he says. “When you stick to your routine, you become very aware of the things missing
in your routine. Traveling allows you to break away and forget about that loss as well as giving you new
perspectives.”
Tours include a three-hour visit to temples to pray to the Chinese Love Gods , a trip to a Kintsugi (pottery
repair) workshop in Tokyo where participants learn about the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi - to
“embrace the flawed, imperfect, yet wonderful things in life,” and even a visit to a gun shooting workshop in
Chiang Mai. Additionally, clients are given a “Break-Up First-Aid Kit”, which includes a therapeutic
writing exercise the company co-created with a psychology professor at the Chinese University of Hong
Kong, before their trip.
Breakup Tours also has a function called “Circles of Travelers,” which allows users to find others who
have booked the same tour and connect with them. But Chung affirms that it’s not a dating app. “We don’t
want to be a match-making service and we don’t think you should jump right into another relationship, so if
you want to be alone, you can turn on the “invisible” button so other users cannot find you. Another lesson
we learned from our participants: Don’t pack too much on a trip. Plan only 30% of your trip and allow 70%
of your trip to be alone and do nothing.”, says Chung.
For now, the start-up company is targeting Hong Kong travelers, but anyone with the app can book the
experiences (prices are listed in HKD). Chung adds that they aim to expand services to travelers from
Taiwan and Thailand next year.

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.
Many factors affect how you relate to colleagues like the different personalities in the office or the kind
of boss you have. However, if you find yourself struggling to accept negative feedback, avoiding asking
others for help or fearing failure – there could be another less obvious source to your problems. The nature
of your parents’ relationship, and especially whether they solved problems amicably and constructively or
resorted to conflict, could have shaped your way of relating to others.
Attachment theory, first proposed by the British psychologist John Bowlby in the middle of the last
century, proposes that our relationships – especially with our parents – shape how we relate to others
through life, known as our attachment style. Generally, people have either ‘secure attachment’, meaning
they are confident in their worth and have great trust in others; ‘anxious attachment’, in which they have low
self-esteem and fear rejection and neglect by others; or ‘avoidant attachment’, which means they too have
low self-esteem and low trust in others, but cope by avoiding getting too close to others in the first place.
There are many contributing factors to the kind of attachment style we develop, including the
responsiveness of our parents, as well as our own personality. Also relevant, however, is our parents’
relationship with each other. For children, parents provide a model for how disagreements should be
resolved in close relationships, and research suggests this has consequences for children’s later attachment
style. For example, one study involving 157 couples found that those individuals whose parents had
divorced when they were children were more likely to have an insecure attachment style as adults.
Your work behaviour can be affected by your attachment style in many ways. For instance, if you are
anxiously attached, you might be extra fearful of facing rejection for performing your tasks poorly. These
deep-rooted psychological processes also affect bosses – for example, those with a secure attachment style
are more inclined to delegate more important work to their employees. Your attachment style is not
unchangeable, though. Recent research has shown attachment styles evolve to some extent through life in
response to current circumstances. Being more aware of your tendencies in a relationship and a variety of
situations can enable you to take steps to improve them or turn them to your advantage. Your ways of
relating to others at work might have deep roots, but if psychology has taught us one thing, it’s that learning
and changing is possible through life.
