Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the question.
Species that belong to an area are said to be native species. Typically, they have been
part of a given biological landscape for a long period, and they are well adapted to the local
environment and to the presence of other native species in the same general habitat. Exotic
species are interlopers, foreign elements introduced intentionally or accidentally into new
settings through human activities. In one context an introduced species may cause no obvious
problems and may, over time, be regarded as being just as "natural" as any native species in
the same habitat. In another context, exotics may seriously disrupt delicate ecological balances
and create a cascade of unintended consequences. The worst of these unintended
consequences arise when introduced species put native species in destruction by preying on
them, altering their habitats, or out-competing them in the struggle for food resources.
Although biological introductions have affected environments the world over, the most
destructive, effects have occurred on islands, where introduced insects, cats, pigs, rats,
mongooses, and other nonnative species have caused the grave endangerment or outright
extinction of literally hundreds of species during the past 500 years.
One of other reason to cause species extinction is overexploitation. This word refers to
the utilization of a species at a rate that is likely to cause its extreme endangerment or outright
extinction. Among many examples of severe overexploitation, the case of the great whales
stands out in special relief. By the middle of the 20th century, unrestricted whaling had brought
many species of whales to incredibly low population sizes. In response to public pressure, in
1982 a number of nations, including the USA, agreed to an international moratorium on
whaling. As a direct result, some whale species which are thought to have been on extinction's
doorstep 25 years ago have made amazing comebacks, such as grey whales in the western
Pacific. Others remain at great risk. Many other species, however, continue to suffer high rates
of exploitation because of the trade in animal parts. Currently, the demand for animal parts is
centered in several parts of

A. are not used to the local environment
B. never get along well with other native species in the same environment
C. tend to do harm to exotic species

Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer.

Reading, as you know, is a continuous and never ending process. If you do very little reading,
or if you read only material that offers no challenge to your comprehension, your reading will
be of very little use. Once we reach a certain age, or once our formal schooling is completed,
many of us become so restricted in our choice of reading that we rarely read any new type of
reading experience. We tend to read only books in our professional or business field, or only
inspirational books, or only our favorite newspapers every morning, or only one magazine for
which we have developed a preference. And the trouble starts here. You should neither read
only for entertainment nor only for information but you should also read for intellectual
growth, for mental stimulation, for enriching your background of knowledge, for wisdom, and
for broader outlook and mature understanding. What kind of books should you read to
continue your intellectual growth, to gain a background for opinion and for judgment? The
answer is simple one: Read books in fields you have little or no acquaintance with, books that
will open for you new horizons of learning, books that will help you explore new areas of
knowledge and experience, books that will make the world and people more understandable
to you. Sadly, more and more people today are giving up the printed word in favor of being
entertained and informed by watching TV, a popular entertainment device present at almost
homes. More and more children are being subjected to TV programming, perhaps as a
babysitter. More than two hours of TV time per day are now a part of children development,
generating physiological and mental problems that are of growing concern among experts.
31. Reading ________.
A. completely stops when we finish our schooling C. is of little use
B. is an endless process D. should be done a little
32. According to the text, ________.
A. new type of reading experience often interests most of us
B. we should only read for entertainment C. reading for intellectual growth is
necessary
D. we should not read for mental stimulation
33. What kind of books is recommended?
A. Books in fields you have little or no acquaintance with
B. Books that will help you explore new areas of knowledge and experience
C. Books that will open for you new horizons of learning

D. All are correct
34. We can learn from the text that today ________.
A. people spend more time watching TV than reading books
B. more and more people enjoy reading C. most babysitters prefer watching TV
D. most children spend less than 2 hours a day watching TV
35. The writer ________.
A. does not approve of reading process C. prefers watching TV to reading
B. advises us to read as little as possible D. appreciates reading
Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions
When a popular book gets made into a movie, there will always be a debate about whether
the novel or film is better. The filmmakers always have to consider certain things: do they
want to follow the book closely to please dedicated readers, or do they want to change parts
ôf thê bôôk if thêy dôn’t translate well on-screen? No matter what they do, there will always
be people who feel the movie will never be as good as the book, people who will love the
movie without ever reading the book, and people who enjoy both.
The vampire series Twilight, by Stephanie Meyer, became so popular that movie companies
wanted to produce it for the big screen. Most Twilight fans were excited about seeing
charactêrs such as Edward and Bêlla “cômê tô lifê,” but thêrê wêrê ôthêr fans who did not
trust the movie script. They assumed the scriptwriters would change parts of the story to
make it seem more interesting as a movie.
By the time the first Twilight movie was released, millions of people had read the series. Many
of these people went on to watch the film, which made $35.7 million just on its opening day.
Whilê many fans and critics likêd it and said thê môviê môrê ôr lêss fôllôwêd thê bôôk’s
storyline, some fans were not impressed. One change that angered them was that certain
sôund êffêcts wêrê addêd tô thê môviê, such as a “whôôshing” sôund whên thê vampirês
jumped. This was not mentioned in the book, and many fans felt that it was too distracting.
Those who liked the movie said they enjoyed the light mood and excitement. This was very
different from the book. The writing in Twilight is dark and gloomy, like many vampire
novels. The movie, however, added more energy to the story and more personality to the
characters. For example, many characters in the book are portrayed as being quiet, and they
spend most of their time at school. But in the movie, the characters are cooler and funnier,
one scene even shows them going surfing together. The director of the first movie, Catherine
Hardwicke, thought it was important for the characters to be believable. She wanted them to
have a wide variety of emotions, since the series is for, and about, teenagers.
In the end, the films were considered a success, even if there were both happy and unhappy
fans. It’s a grêat accomplishment to make films that are watched by millions of people, and
yôu can’t êxpêct tô bê ablê tô plêasê êvêryônê all thê timê.

Recreational diving or sport diving is a type of diving that uses scuba equipment for the
purpose of leisure and enjoyment. In some diving circles, the term "recreational diving" is used
in contradistinction to "technical diving", a more demanding aspect of the sport which requires
greater levels of training, experience and equipment.
Recreational scuba diving grew out of related activities such as snorkeling and underwater
hunting. For a long time, recreational underwater excursions were limited by the amount of
breath that could be held. However, the invention of the aqualung in 1943 by Jacques-Yves
Cousteau and its development over subsequent years led to a revolution in recreational diving.
However, for much of the 1950s and early1960s, recreational scuba diving was a sport limited
to those who were able to afford or make their own kit, and prepared to undergo intensive
training to use it. As the sport became more popular, manufacturers became aware of the
potential market, and equipment began to appear that was easy to use, affordable and reliable.
Continued advances in SCUBA technology, such as buoyancy compensators, modern diving
regulators, wet or dry suits, and dive computers, increased the safety, comfort and convenience
of the gear encouraging more people to train and use it.
Until the early 1950s, navies and other organizations performing professional diving were the
only providers of diver training, but only for their own personnel and only using their own
types of equipment. There were no training courses available to civilians who bought the first
scuba equipment. Professional instruction started in 1959 when the non-profit National
Association of Underwater Instructors was formed.
Further developments in technology have reduced the cost of training and diving. Scuba-diving
has become a popular leisure activity, and many diving locations have some form of dive shop
presence that can offer air fills, equipment and training. In tropical and sub-tropical parts of
the world, there is a large market in holiday divers, who train and dive while on holiday, but
rarely dive close to home. Generally, recreational diving depths are limited to a maximum of
between 30 and 40 meters (100 and 130 feet), beyond which a variety of safety issues make it
unsafe to dive using recreation diving equipment and practices, and specialized training and
equipment for technical diving are needed.
35. Recreational diving _______.
A. requires more equipment than technical diving
B. are taken up by many people for leisure and entertainment
C. needs no equipment D. requires more experience than technical diving
36. Recreational underwater excursions used to be limited _______.
A. as underwater hunting was banned
B. because the necessary amount of breath was too expensive to afford
C. because divers could not take enough amount of breath with them
D. because the necessary amount of breath was too heavy to bring
37. According to the second paragraph, in the 1950s and early 1960s, recreational scuba diving

A. divers did not like to take part in any intensive training courses
B. there were not any intensive training courses for divers
C. there were not enough kit for many divers
D. kit and intensive training were too expensive for many people to afford
38. These following sentences are true EXCEPT _______.
A. In the early 1950s anyone who wanted to dive could be professionally trained.

B. In the early 1950s there were no training courses available to civilians who bought the

diving equipment.

Scientists have identified two ways in which species disappear. The first is through
ôrdinary ôr “backgrôund” êxtinctiôns, whêrê spêciês that fail tô adapt arê slôwly rêplacêd
by more adaptable life forms. The second is when large numbers of species go to the wall
in relatively short periods of biological time. There have been five such extinctions, each
provoked by cataclysmic evolutionary events caused by some geological eruption, climate
shift, or space junk slamming into the Earth. Scientists now believe that another mass
extinction of species is currently under way – and this time human fingerprints are on the
trigger.
How are we doing it? Simply by demanding more and more space for ourselves. In our assault
on the ecosystems around us we have used a number of tools, from spear and gun to
bulldozer and chainsaw. Certain especially rich ecosystems have proved the most
vulnerable. In Hawaii more than half of the native birds are now gone – some 50 species.
Such carnage has taken place all across the island communities of the Pacific and Indian
oceans. While many species were hunted to extinction, others simply succumbed to the
“intrôducêd prêdatôrs’ that humans brôught with them: the cat, the dog, the pig, and the
rat.
Today the tempo of extinction is picking up speed. Hunting is no longer the major culprit,
although rare birds and animals continue to be butchered for their skin, feathers, tusks,
and internal organs, or taken as savage pets. Today the main threat comes from the
destruction of the habitat of wild plants, animals, and insects need to survive. The draining
and damming of wetland and river courses threatens the aquatic food chain and our own
seafood industry. Overfishing and the destruction of fragile coral reefs destroy ocean
biodiversity. Deforestation is taking a staggering toll, particularly in the tropics where the
most global biodiversity is at risk. The shinking rainforest cover of the Congo and Amazon
river basins and such place as Borneo and Madagascar have a wealth of species per hectare
existing nowhere else. As those precious hectares are drowned or turned into arid pasture
and cropland, such species disappear forever.

Today we take electricity for granted and perhaps we do not realize just
how useful this discovery has been. Steam was the first invention that replaced wind power.
It was used to drive engines and was passed through pipes and radiators to warm rooms. Petrol
mixed with air was the next invention that provided power. Exploded in a cylinder, it drove a
motor engine. Beyond these simple and direct uses, those forms have not much adaptability.
On the other hand, we make use of electricity in thousands of ways. From the
powerful voltages that drive our electric trains to the tiny current needed to work a simple
calculator, and from the huge electric magnet in steel works that can lift 10 tons to the tiny
electric magnet in a doorbell, all are powered by electricity. An electric current can be made
with equal ease to heat a huge mass of molten metal in a furnace, or to boil a jug for a cup of
coffee. Other than atomic energy, which has not as yet been harnessed to the full, electricity is
the greatest power in the world. It is flexible, and so adaptable for any task for
which it is wanted. It travels so easily and with incredible speed along wires or conductors
that it can be supplied instantly over vast distances.
To generate electricity, huge turbines or generators must be turned. In Australia they
use coal or water to drive this machinery. When dams are built, falling water is used to drive
the turbines without polluting the atmosphere with smoke from coal. Atomic power is used
in several countries but there is always the fear of an accident. A tragedy once occurred at
Chernobyl, in Ukraine, at an atomic power plant used to make electricity. The reactor leaked,
which caused many deaths through radiation.
Now scientists are examining new ways of creating electricity without harmful effects
to the environment. They may harness the tides as they flow in and out of bays. Most
importantly, they hope to trap sunlight more efficiently. We do use solar heaters for
swimming pools but as yet improvement in the capacity of the solar cells to create
more current is necessary. When this happens, electric cars will be viable and the world
will rid itself of the toxic gases given off by trucks and cars that burn fossil fuels.
34. The author mentions the sources of energy such as wind, steam, petrol in the first
paragraph to _______.
A. suggest that electricity should be alternated with safer sources of energy
B. emphasize the usefulness and adaptability of electricity
C. imply that electricity is not the only useful source of energy
D. discuss which source of energy can be a suitable alternative to electricity
35. What do we call machines that make electricity?
A. Voltages B. Electric magnets C. Generators or turbines D. Pipes and radiators.
36. The main forms of power used to generate electricity in Australia are ______.
A. atomic power and water B. water and coal
C. sunlight and wind power D. wind and gas
37. The word "they" in the last paragraph refers to ______.
A. harmful effects B. the tides C. scientists D. new ways
38. Electric magnets are used in steel works to ______.
A. lift heavy weights up to ten tons B. test the steel for strength
C. heat the molten steel D. boil a jug of water
39. The advantage of harnessing the power of the tides and of sunlight to generate electricity
is that they ______.
A. do not pollute the environment B. are more reliable
C. are more adaptable D. do not require attention
40. Which of the following power sources causes pollution by emitting harmful gases?
A. Sunlight B. Petrol C. Water D. Wind

immunization programs for childhood diseases and programs to prevent the spread of
HIV/AIDS; it also provides funding for health services, educational facilities, and other welfare
services. Since 1996 UNICEF programs have been guided by the Convention on the Rights of
the Child (1989), which affirms thê right ôf all childrên tô “thê ênjôymênt ôf thê highêst

Some doctors think that you should drink a glass of water each morning. You should drink this
water first thing, before doing anything else. The temperature of the water should be similar
to body temperature; neither too hot nor too cold.
Why should you drink this water? Water helps your body in many ways. It helps clean out your
kidneys. It prepares your stomach for digestion. Water can also help your intestines work
better. After drinking water, the intestines can more easily take out nutrients from our food.
Water also helps us go to the bathroom more easily.
Sciêntists suggêst that pêôplê takê in 1,600 millilitêrs ôf watêr êach day. But dôn’t drink all ôf
that water in one sitting. If you do, your kidneys will have to work much harder to eliminate
it. It’s bêttêr tô drink sômê in thê môrning and sômê in thê aftêrnôôn. Sômê pêôplê think it’s
better to drink between meals and not during meals. They think water dilutes the juices
produced in our stomachs. This can interfere with normal digestion.
Are you drinking enough water every day? Check the color of your urine. If it is light yellow,
you are probably drinking enough. If your urine is very dark yellow, you probably need to drink
more water. A little more water each day could make you much healthier.

A recent study shows that an unequal share of household chores is still the norm in
many households, despite the fact that many more women now have jobs. In a survey of
1,256 people ages between 18 and 65, men said they contributed an average of 37% of the
total housework, while the women estimated their share to be nearly double that, at 70%.
This ratio was not affected by whether the woman was working or not.
When they were asked what they thought was a fair division of labor, women with
jobs felt that housework should be shared equally between male and female partners.
Women who did not work outside the home were satisfied to perform 80% - the majority of
the household work – if their husbands did remainder. Research has shown that, if levels
increase beyond these percentages, women become unhappy and anxious, and feel they are
unimportant.
After marriage, a woman is reported to increase her household workload by 14 hours

per week, but for men the amount is just 90 minutes. So the division of labor becomes
unbalanced, as a man's share increases much less than the woman's. It is the inequality and
loss of respect, not the actual number of hours, which leads to anxiety and depression. The
research describes housework as thankless and unfulfilling. Activities included in the study
were cooking, cleaning, shopping, doing laundry, washing up and childcare. Women who
have jobs report that they feel overworked by these chores in addition to their professional
duties. In contrast, full-time homemakers frequently anticipate going back to work when
the children grow up. Distress for this group is caused by losing the teamwork in the
marriage.
In cases where men perform most of the housework, results were similar. The men also
became depressed by the imbalance of labor. The research showed that the least distressed
people are those who have equal share, implying that men could perform significantly more
chores and even benefit from this. The research concludes “Evêrybôdy benefits from sharing
the housework. Even for women keeping house, a share division of labor is important. If you
decide to stay at home to raise the children, you don't want to become the servant of the
hôusê”.

A. 14% B. 37% C. 70% D. 80%

A. women have a bigger house B. men do more housework

During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the
contributions of women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formed
United States. Lacking the right to vote and absent from the seats of power, women were not
considered an important force in history. Anne Bradstreet wrote some significant poetry in the
seventeenth century, Mercy Otis Warren produced the best contemporary history of the
American Revolution, and Abigail Adams penned important letters showing she exercised
great political influence over her husband, John, the second President of the United States. But
little or no notice was taken of these contributions. During these centuries, women remained
invisible in history books.
Throughout the nineteenth century, this lack of visibility continued, despite the efforts of
female authors writing about women. These writers, like most of their male counterparts, were

amateur historians. Their writings were celebratory in nature, and they were uncritical in
their selection and use of sources.
During the nineteenth century, however, certain feminists showed a keen sense of history
by keeping records of activities in which women were engaged. National, regional, and local
women's organizations compiled accounts of their doings. Personal correspondence,
newspaper clippings, and souvenirs were saved and stored. These sources from the core of the
two greatest collections of women's history in the United States one at the Elizabeth and Arthur
Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe College, and the other the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith
College. Such sources have provided valuable materials for later Generations of historians.
Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women during the nineteenth
Century, most of the writing about women conformed to the "great women" theory of History,
just as much of mainstream American history concentrated on "great men." To demonstrate
that women were making significant contributions to American life, female authors singled out
women leaders and wrote biographies, or else important women produced their
autobiographies. Most of these leaders were involved in public life as reformers, activists
working for women's right to vote, or authors, and were not representative at all of the great of
ordinary woman. The lives of ordinary people continued, generally, to be untold in the
American histories being published.
A. The place of American women in written histories
B. The "great women" approach to history used by American historians
C. The keen sense of history shown by American women
D. The role of literature in early American histories

The ASEAN University Network (AUN) is an arrangement between 30 universities in the
ten ASEAN countries. The AUN is composed of a Board of Trustees (BOT), the participating
universities, and the AUN Secretariat. The Board of Trustees consists of one representative
from each of the ASEAN Member Countries, the Secretary-General of ASEAN, the Chairman of
the ASEAN subcommittee on Education (ASCOE) and the Executive Director of the AUN. The
BOT has the task of formulating policies, approving project proposals, the allocation of budgets
and co-ordinating implementation activities. The board makes decisions on these activities on
the basis of consensus.
The participating universities have the task of implementing the AUN programmes and
activities. When AUN was founded in 1995, it consisted of thirteen universities from seven
countries. Due to the inclusion of Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia in ASEAN, the network grew
to 21 members. Although numerous applications for membership have been received, it was
decided to only admit universities from the new member countries. Non members from the
region however, are invited as observers on a regular basis.
The AUN Secretariat is involved in the planning, organisation, monitoring and evaluation
of AUN activities and also in the development of new ideas and the acquisition of funding. The
permanent office of the Secretariat was established in 2000 and is located on the campus of
Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok. The operating costs of the secretariat are (at least until
2005) allocated by the Thai Government.
The financing of AUN activities comes from either cost sharing between the participating

Australia, Canada, China, EU, India, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, Russia and the United

meetings within the AUN Framework are financed by the hosts and travel expenses by the

countries.

The oceans are so vast and deep that until fairly recently, it was widely assumed that no
matter how much trash and chemicals humans dumped into them, the effects would be
negligible. Proponents of dumping in the oceans even had a catchphrase: "The solution to
pollution is dilution."
Today, we need look no further than the New Jersey-size dead zone that forms each
summer in the Mississippi River Delta, or the thousand-mile-wide swath of decomposing
plastic in the northern Pacific Ocean to see that this "dilution" policy has helped place a once
flourishing ocean ecosystem on the brink of collapse.
There is evidence that the oceans have suffered at the hands of mankind for millennia. But
recent studies show that degradation, particularly of shoreline areas, has accelerated
dramatically in the past three centuries as industrial discharge and run-off from farms and
coastal cities have increased.
Pollution is the introduction of harmful contaminants that are outside the norm for a given
ecosystem. Common man-made pollutants reaching the oceans include pesticides, herbicides,
chemical fertilizers, detergents, oil, sewage, plastics, and other solids. Many of these pollutants
collect at the ocean's depths, where they are consumed by small marine organisms and
introduced into the global food chain.
Many ocean pollutants are released into the environment far upstream from coastlines.
Nitrogen-rich fertilizers applied by farmers inland, for example, end up in local streams, rivers,
and groundwater and are eventually deposited in estuaries, bays, and deltas. These excess
nutrients can spawn massive blooms of algae that rob the water of oxygen, leaving areas where
little or no marine life can exist.
Solid wastes like bags, foam, and other items dumped into the oceans from land or by ships
at sea are frequently consumed, with often fatal effects, by marine mammals, fish, and birds
that mistake them for food. Discarded fishing nets drift for many years, ensnaring fish and
mammals. In certain regions, ocean currents corral trillions of decomposing plastic items and
other trash into gigantic, swirling garbage patches. One in the North Pacific, known as the
Pacific Trash Vortex, is estimated to be the size of Texas.
Pollution is not always physical. In large bodies of water, sound waves can carry
undiminished for miles. The increased presence of loud or persistent sounds from ships, sonar
devices, oil rigs, and even from natural sources like earthquakes can disrupt the migration,
communication, and reproduction patterns of many marine animals, particularly aquatic
mammals like whales and dolphins.

Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions from 41 to 45
Over a period of time, many habitats change with respect to the types of plants and animals
that live there. This change is known as succession.
Succession occurs because plants and animals cause a change in the environment in which
they live. The first weeds and grasses that appear on a bare field, for example, change the
environment by shielding the soil from the direct sunlight. As these plants spread, the ground
surface becomes cooler and moisture, than it was originally. Thus, the environment at the
ground surface has been changed. The new surface conditions favor the sprouting of shrubs.
As shrubs grow, they kill the grasses by preventing light from reaching them and also build up
the soil in the area, in addition, they attract animals that also enhance the shrubs. They are not
able to shade out oak and hickory seedlings, however, they have found the forest floor suitable.
These seedlings grow into large trees that eventually shade out the pines.

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.
Will people still read books 100 years from now? A few years ago, many people would
have said no. It seemed likely that computers and the Internet would replace books. Now,
however, most experts think that books are here to stay.
There are a number of reasons why computers will not replace books entirely. One
reason is that books on paper are much cheaper than computers. And books do not need a
power source. You can read a book for as long as you want and wherever you want. You never
have to worry about losing power. Also, many people feel more comfortable reading words in
a book than reading words on a computer screen because it is less tiring to the eyes.
Will books in the future be exactly the same as the books you can buy today? The answer
to that question is no. In the future, you may only need to buy one book. With this one book,
you will be able to read novels, plays, and newspapers. It will look like today's books, but it will
be electronic.
One of the people working on the book of the future is Professor Joseph Jacobson from
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Professor Jacobson's electronic book will have a small
button on the side. When you press the button, words will instantly appear on the page. When
you want to read a different story, you can push the button again and a new story will quickly
appear.

By the age of five, about 87% of American children start school. Americans
deeply believe in education as the best vehicle for individual and social advancement. The
relationship between students and teac hers is less formal in the USA than in many other
countries, especially at the college level. American college students do not often stand up when
their teacher enters the classroom. Students are generally encouraged to ask questions during
class, tô stôp in thê prôfêssôr’s ôfficê fôr êxtra hêlp, and tô phônê if thêy arê absênt and nêêd
an assignment.
Most teachers allow students to enter class late or leave early, if necessary. Despite the
lack of formality, students are still expected to be polite and considerate of their teachers and
classmates. When students want to ask questions, they usually raise a hand and wait until they
are called. If a professor is giving a formal lecture that is the wrong time to interrupt with a
question. When the teacher or a student is speaking to the class, it is rude to begin whispering
to another classmate. When a test is being given, talking to a classmate is not only rude but also
risky. Most American teachers assume that students who are talking to each other during a test
are cheating.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions from 27 to 31.
During times of crisis, people find themselves faced with lifestyle changes. One of the earliest
and most noticeable changes seen during the Covid-19 lockdown was how we consume media
-and especially how we read.
People tend to find comfort in certain books, and reading habits and genre preferences can
change during periods of stress. This helps to explain why much genre fiction has roots in
times of significant social, political or economic upheaval. Gothic literature is, in part, a British
Protestant response to the French Revolution (1789-99).
Respondents generally reported that they were reading more than usual. This was largely due
to having more free time (due to being furloughed, or not having a commute, or the usual
social obligations or leisure activities). This increased reading volume was complicated for
those with caring responsibilities. Many people with children reported that their reading time
had increased generally because of their shared reading with children, but had less time than
normal for personal reading. Reading frequency was further complicated by a quality vs
quantity snag. People spent more time reading and seeking escape, but an inability to
concentrate meant they made less progress than usual. In short, people spent more time
reading but the volume they read was less.
Unsurprisingly, lockdown also made re-reading a physical necessity for some. Some
respondents noted how they were unable to visit the library or browse at the bookshop for
new books. Others reported that they simply wished to save money. On the other hand, the
participants who reported re-reading less than normal during the lockdown period wanted to
use their newfound time to seek out new topics and genres.
(Adapted from theconversation.com)

Whales are the largest animals in the world, and the gentlest creatures we know.
Although the whale is very huge, it is not hindered at all by its size when it is in the water.
Whales have tails that end like flippers. With just a gentle flick, it can propel itself forward. The
skin of a whale is so smooth that it does not create any friction that can slow the whale down.
A whalê’s brêathing hôlê is lôcatêd ôn thê tôp ôf its hêad, so it can breathe without having to
completely push its head out of the water. Whales are protected from the cold seawater by
body fat that is called blubber.
Whales live in the ocean but, in terms of behaviours, they are more similar to humans
than fish. They live in family groups and they even travel in groups when they have to migrate
from cooler to warmer waters.
The young stay with their parents for as long as fifteen years. Whales are known not to
desert the ill or injured members; instead, they cradle them.
When whales are in danger, there are people who go to great lengths to help them. One
such case occurred in 1988, when three young whales were trapped in the sea. It was close to
winter and the sea had begun to freeze over. Whales are mammals that require oxygen from
the air, so the frozen ice was a great danger to them. All they had then was a tiny hole in the ice
for them to breathe through. Volunteers from all over soon turned up to help these creatures.
They cut holes in the ice to provide more breathing holes for the whales. These holes would
also serve as guides for the whales so that they could swim to warmer waters.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheer to
indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions
A trend in women's change in attitude to work and home life roles has launched because
more and more women begin to feel the stress and exhaustion when they play multiple roles.
The image for women of the 1950s was the domesticated housewife and mother who
cooked, cleaned, and sewed. The vogue woman of today is proud while possessing the role as
career woman and mother, wife, and domestic organizer. Yet, the main thing that has really
changed for the modern woman is the fact that her workload has doubled from the duality of
her role. The effects of this duality are being felt through stress, and unfairness.
A recent study has shown that that 68% of women see a conflict between working and
raising a family. It is no wonder since large amounts of stress stem from a woman's professional
career in collaboration with her role as housekeeper and mother. A study in 1997 by the
Canadian Review of Sociology and Anthropology found said, "Stress appears to be strongly
related to being employed outside the home and is more strongly felt by women working more
hours, especially those working full-time." The 2001 U.S. Current Population Survey found that
many women wish to have fewer office hours. More and more women want to cut work hours
because they find it difficult to take care of household responsibilities while maintaining a
career. The Female Lifestyle Survey of Great Britain 2004 found that 86% of full time working
women did most of the housework and 77% did most of the child rearing, which; has made
them quite exhausted.

There is a famous expression in English: "Stop the world, I want to get off!" This expression
refers to a feeling of panic, or stress, that makes a person want to stop whatever they are doing,
try to relax, and become calm again. 'Stress' means pressure or tension. It is one of the most
common causes of health problems in modern life. Too much stress results in physical,
emotional, and mental health problems.
There are numerous physical effects of stress. Stress can affect the heart. It can increase the
pulse rate, make the heart miss beats, and can cause high blood pressure. Stress can affect the
respiratory system. It can lead to asthma. It can cause a person to breathe too fast, resulting in
a loss of important carbon dioxide. Stress can affect the stomach. It can cause stomach aches
and problems digesting food. These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses and
symptoms resulting from stress.
Emotions are also easily affected by stress. People suffering from stress often feel anxious. They
may have panic attacks. They may feel tired all the time. When people are under stress, they
often overreact to little problems. For example, a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress
at work may yell at a child for dropping a glass of juice. Stress can make people angry, moody,
or nervous.
Long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious mental illnesses. Depression, an extreme
feeling of sadness and hopelessness, can be the result of continued and increasing stress. Eating
disorders, such as anorexia, are sometimes caused by stress and are often made worse by
stress. If stress is allowed to continue, then one's mental health is put at risk.
It is obvious that stress is a serious problem. It attacks the body. It affects the emotions.
Untreated, it may eventually result in mental illness. Stress has a great influence on the health
and well-being of our bodies, our feelings, and our minds. Then, try to reduce stress: stop the
world and rest for a while.

Visitors to London are struck by the proud splendour and glamour of one of the world's
oldest capitals, admiring iconic sites like Big Ben, the Palace of Westminster and Buckingham
Palace. However, visitors seeking a glimpse into the city's everyday life should not miss
Portobello Market, which is the most-visited market in London.
This vibrant market has been featured in a number of films, documentaries and best-
selling books, the most famous being the film ''Notting Hill'' starring Hugh Grant and Julia
Roberts, which brought Portobello Market to the attention of audiences all over the world.
Portobello Market is divided into different sections selling second-hand items, clothing,
jewellery, souvenirs and vegetables. The most sought-after area is devoted to antiques. Visitors
may feel overwhelmed as there are over 1,000 booths manned by antique dealers from
throughout England. It's a great fun to browse through antique cameras, watches, pottery and
paintings that date back 300 years. They are sold at different prices, so it's possible to find a
few good bargains. It seems that both buyers and sellers look forward to the weekends when
they can meet and escape the city's fast pace at Portobello Market.
When tired from exploring the market, visitors can drop into the nearby food courts to
savour an Indian curry, Italian pizza or sandwiches from Europe. It's a great pleasure to drink
a cappuccino while listening to street performers. These represent the lively fun of Portobello
Market, offering exciting experiences that keep people coming back.

Cambridge University is considering axing compulsory written exams, allowing
students to use laptops or iPads instead, after tutors complained that students' handwriting is
becoming illegible. Academics say the move, which would bring an end to over 800 years of
tradition, has come about because students rely too heavily on laptops in lectures, and are
losing the ability to write by hand.
Dr Sarah Pearsall, a senior lecturer at Cambridge University, said handwriting is
becoming a ''lost art'' among the current generation of students. She added, ''It's increasingly
hard for our examiners to read students' scripts. Those with illegible writing are forced to
come back to their college during the summer holidays to read their answers aloud in the
presence of two university administrators. It's extraordinarily commendable that the
University is considering reforms to its examination practices.''
Sir Anthony Seldon, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Buckingham, said it is
inevitable that universities will move to computers as handwriting deteriorates in the coming
years. ''We have to accept the reality. Handwriting has now become an optional, not a
necessary, part of education. There simply isn't the same time in the curriculum for learning
elegant, beautiful handwriting. Life is so quick now. Everybody writes as if they were a doctor
writing a prescription,'' he said. ''Handwriting is not necessary for great thought, great English,
or great intelligence. Some of our finest wordsmiths today write using laptops, and we have to
fight to preserve what is really important, such as the use of great English or great sentence
structures.''
Others, however, were not very positive about the move. Tracey Trussell, a handwriting
expert, urged Cambridge to ensure that students continue to write by hand. She said, ''It's vital
that people continue to write by hand. Writing by hand improves memory and equates to a
higher rate of comprehension and information retention.'' There is also concern that schools
could follow Cambridge's example by moving away from handwriting. Dr Jane Medwell,
Associate Professor of Education at the University of Nottingham, is concerned that scrapping
handwritten exams in universities could prompt ''downward curriculum pressure'' on primary
and secondary schools to follow suit.

Tribal tourism is a relatively new type of tourism. It involves travelers going to remote
destinations, staying with local people and learning about their culture and way of life. They
stay in local accommodation, share facilities with local people, and join in with meals and
celebrations. At the moment, less than one percent of holidays are tribal tourism holidays, but
this is set to change.
Tribal tourism is often compared with foreign exchange visits. However, a foreign
exchange involves staying with people who often share the same values. Tribal tourism takes
visitors to places where the lifestyle is very different from that in their home location. Those
who have been on tribal holiday explain that experiencing this lifestyle is the main attraction.
They say that it offers them the chance to live in a way they never have before.
Not everyone is convinced that tribal tourism is a good thing, and opinions are divided.
The argument is about whether or not it helps the local population, or whether it exploits them.
The main problem is that, because tribal tourism is relatively new, the long-term influences on
local populations have not been studied in much detail. Where studies have been carried out,
the effects have been found to be negative.
So, is it possiblê tô êxpêriêncê an êxôtic culturê withôut harming it in sômê way? “With
a bit ôf thôught, wê can maximisê thê pôsitivê influêncês and minimisê thê nêgativê”, says

lêarn abôut, and bê awarê ôf, lôcal custôms and traditiôns. Always rêmêmbêr yôu'rê a guêst.”

E-waste is being produced on a scale never seen before. Computers and other electronic
equipment become obsolete in just a few years, leaving customers with little choice but to buy
newer ones to keep up. Millions of tons of computers, TVs, smartphones, and other equipment
are discarded each year. In most countries, all this waste ends up in landfills, where it poisons
the environment - e-waste contains many toxic substances such as lead, mercury, and arsenic,
that leak into the ground.
Recycling is the ideal solution to the problem. E-waste contains significant amounts of
valuable metals like gold and silver that make it attractive to recycle. In theory, recycling gold
from old computers is more efficient - and less environmentally destructive - than digging it
from the earth. The problem is that a large percentage of e-waste dropped off for recycling in
wealthy countries is sold an diverted to the developing world, posing an increasing threat to
the health of the people there.
To address the problem of the international trade in e-waste, 170 nations signed the
1989 Basel Convention, an agreement requiring that developed nations notify developing
nations of hazardous waste shipments coming into their countries. Then, in 1995 the Basel
Convention was modified to ban hazardous waste shipments to poor countries completely.
Although the ban hasn't taken effect, the European Union, where recycling infrastructure is
well developed, has already written it into their laws. One law holds manufacturers responsible
for the sale disposal of electronics they produce.
Companies like Creative Recycling Systems in Florida, the USA, are hoping to profit from
clean e-waste recycling. The key to their business is a huge, building-size machine able to
separate electronic products into their component materials. As the machine's steel teeth
break up e-waste, all the toxic dust is removed from the process. This machine can handle some
70,000 tons of electronics a year. Although this is only a fraction of the total, it wouldn't take
many more machines like this to process the entire USA's output of high-tech trash.
Unfortunately, under current policies, domestic processing of e-waste is not
compulsory, and while shipping waste abroad is ethically questionable, it is still more
profitable than processing it safely in the USA. Creative Recycling Systems is hoping that the
US government will soon create laws deterring people from sending e-waste overseas.
