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.
Greta Thunberg, the soft-spoken Swedish teenager who became a global conscience for climate change and
environmental activism, has been named Time magazine’s Person of the Year for 2019. “She became the biggest voice on
the biggest issue facing the planet this year, coming from essentially nowhere to lead a worldwide movement," Time
editor-in-chief Edward Felsenthal said, adding that Thunberg is the magazine’s youngest choice ever to be named Person
of the Year.
Thunberg quickly bloomed into one of the world’s most notable climate change activists, sparking a collective
movement to fight the issue after protesting alone outside the Swedish Parliament during school hours on Fridays when
she was 15. The teen held up a now universally recognized hand-painted sign that read “skolstrejk för klimatet,” which
translates to “School strike for the climate.” Her solo protest, Fensenthal noted, eventually prompted millions of people in
150 countries "to act on behalf of the planet."
2
 Thunberg’s signature direct style of speaking made her a force that could not be ignored by world leaders and she
was asked to speak in front of several high-profile entities, including the United Nations and the U.S. Congress. In
October, Thunberg was the recipient of another honor — an environmental award at a Stockholm ceremony held by the
Nordic Council. But she declined it, explaining in an Instagram post, "The climate movement does not need any more
awards."
When asked what he thought Thunberg’s response would be after learning that she is Time’s Person of the Year,
Felsenthal said, "I don’t know, but I think what she has done, her rise in influence, has been really extraordinary."

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.
