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 following question.
People who use social networking websites could be putting themselves at risk of becoming victims of
identity theft. Identity fraud occurs when a criminal pretends to be someone else and uses stolen personal
details to obtain goods or services. One in five of the UK population now visit social networking sites, and
more and more consumers are signing up every day. The chances are that, when they register, they will enter
their date of birth, address, e-mail address, job, and marital status. Fraudsters can use this information to steal
an individual’s identity and open a bank account or buy goods in their name. Giving away personal details
such as the names of your children or pets is particularly risky since these are often used as passwords.
Identity theft is a growing problem in the UK. About one in ten Britons claims to have been the victim of
identity theft, and it is estimated that the crime costs the economy about £1.5 billion each year.
Another potential problem is that social-networking sites have become a tool for potential employers.
Twenty per cent of UK companies routinely conduct web searches to find background information about the
people who are applying for jobs with them. They are sometimes able to check if job applicants have
described themselves honestly and accurately in their applications. Some employers also try to learn
something about an applicant’s personality and judge whether he or she is the kind of person they would like
to recruit.
Many of the young people who put photos and comments on these sites believe that the information is
private, or only read by the other members of the site. But if you use social networking sites and you are
applying for a job, you’d better do well to make sure there is nothing online that you would not like your
prospective employer to see.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct

In Britain, there are a number of different kinds of institutions of higher education. First of all, of
course, there are the universities. Nobody can have failed to have heard of Oxford and Cambridge, the two
oldest universities in England, but, of course, there are a large number of universities, many of which have
opened since the war. The latest of these is the Open University, a unique institution, which, as its name
suggests, is open to all. Students of the Open University are not obliged to have any previous qualifications.
All the students are part time and are taught through the medium of television and radio, although they do
receive some personal tuition as well as through centers located near their own homes. The first graduates
were awarded their degrees in 1973.
Besides the universities, there are other institutions such as Poly-mechanics and Technical Colleges.
These tend to offer courses of a vocational nature as well as academic courses. If a student wants to study
Management, Accounting or Librarianship, for example, he would be more likely to go to one of these
institutions. Colleges of Education provide training and education for prospective teachers.
The vast majority of students receive grants from their local authority, which cover tuition fees and
allow a certain amount of money to the students to pay for their keep (food, clothes, and other essentials for
living) and their books. Most of the colleges and universities have a good proportion of students from
overseas.
