Although playing video games is one of the most popular leisure activities in the world, research

needed to play such a game can distract the player from the sensation of pain, a strategy that has been
reported and evaluated among paediatric patients. (20)_____ a form of physiotherapy or occupational
therapy in many different groups of people. Such games focus attention away from potential discomfort
and, unlike more traditional therapeutic activities, they do not rely on passive movements and sometimes
painful manipulation of the limbs.
However, there has been no long term follow-up and no robust randomised controlled trials of
such interventions. (21)_____. Furthermore, it is not known whether any distracting effect depends
simply on concentrating on an interactive task or whether the content of games is also an important factor
as there have been no controlled trials (22)_____. Further research should examine factors within games

moderate play. Adverse effects, when they occur, tend to be relatively minor and temporary, resolving

Ostriches
Ostriches are the largest and heaviest birds on earth. They can grow to be as tall as 9 feet and can
weigh as much as 250 pounds. Even though they have wings, they cannot fly. Instead, ostriches have
long, powerful legs that help them to run very fast when they feel threatened. Ostriches use their wings
to move themselves forward and to help them change direction.
Ostriches are native to Africa, where they still live in desert areas and dry, open grasslands called
savannahs. Ostriches can also be found in zoos all over the world. Humans have domesticated ostriches,
so now ostriches live on farms in over a dozen countries, including the United States, China, India, Japan,
Brazil and Costa Rica. They are raised for their meat, skin, and feathers.
Ostriches like to live in small groups called herds. The male ostrich is called a rooster; the female, a
hen. Baby ostriches are called chicks. The female ostrich lays the eggs, but both the male and the female
take turns sitting on the eggs to keep them warm.

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 questions.
If you’re an Australian Facebook user who loves to share the news on your timeline, you may have
noticed something different recently: You can’t.
In the next few days, though, things should go back to normal. Less than a week after suddenly
banning news links for Australian users and shutting down Australian news pages to protest an upcoming
law, Facebook says it’s gotten reassurances from the Australian government that it won’t be forced to pay
publishers but will instead be given the chance to negotiate agreements with them — which it’s already
starting to do. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Facebook has agreed to pay the major
Australian media company Seven West Media for news content and is in negotiations with another called
Nine Entertainment.
Australia has now passed the News Media and Digital Platforms Mandatory Bargaining Code,
which could force Facebook and Google to pay publishers if they host their content. The law is a
response to years-long complaints from news outlets around the world about the role that Google and
Facebook — and their mammoth digital ad businesses — have played in the decline of journalism and the
decimation of its business model in the internet age. The two companies responded to the then-potential
law in very different ways: Google made deals with Australian news publishers; Facebook decided to cut
them off entirely.
After a few days of Australians seeing what Facebook was like without the news, a sizable amount
of worldwide backlash against the company, and talks with the Australian government that resulted in a
few last-minute changes to the law, Facebook decided that the new terms were good enough for its ban to
end. The law passed a few days later.
Previously, Facebook had banned all users from sharing links to Australian news sources,
Australian publications’ pages from hosting any of their own content, and Australian users from sharing
any news links, Australian or international.
Question 34: Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. News Links for Australian Users
B. Australia and The News Media and Digital Platforms Mandatory Bargaining Code
C. A Sizable Amount of Worldwide Backlash Against A Company
D. Why Facebook Banned and Then Unbanned News in Australia
Question 35: The word “them” in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. publishers B. reassurances C. Australian media D. negotiations
Question 36: In paragraph 2, Facebook suddenly banned news links for Australian users to ______.
A. protest an upcoming law
B. get reassurances from the Australian government
C. protect Australian news pages
D. negotiate agreements with publishers
