Have you ever felt that there aren't enough hours in the day? These days we have to
do our jobs, look after our homes, save energy to help the environment, and do exercise to
stay healthy! Like many of us, Alex Gadsden never had enough time. He ran a business and
a home and needed to lose weight. So he decided to do something about it. He invented the
cycle washer. The 29-year-old now starts each day with a 45-minute cycle ride. He not only
feels healthier but he saves on his energy bills and does the washing too.
He said, "It gives the user a good workout. I've only used it for two weeks but I've
already noticed a difference." "I tend to get up at around six-thirty now and get straight on
the cycle washer. I keep it in the garden, so it's nice to get out in the fresh air. Afterwards, I
feel full of energy. Then I generally have breakfast and a shower and I really feel ready to
start the day." The green washing machine uses 25 litres of water a wash, and takes enough
clothes to fill a carrier bag. He normally cycles for 25 minutes to wash the clothes, and then
for another 20 minutes to dry them. And it doesn't use any electricity, of course. Mr Gadsden,
the boss of a cleaning company, believes his machine could become very popular. With an
invention which cleans your clothes, keeps you fit and reduces your electricity bill, he may
well be right.
Question 29: What is the passage mainly about?
A. The importance of daily exercise B. Ways to do the washing properly
C. Cycling makes you healthier D. A fascinating invention
Question 30: The word “ran” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to______.
A. moved B. allowed C. managed D. changed
Question 31: According to paragraph 1, what does Alex Gadsden achieve with the invention
of the cycle washer?
A. His electricity bills are reduced. B. He puts on weight.
C. He helps his wife with the washing-up. D. He becomes more involved in recycling.
Question 32: The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to_______.
A. difference B. the cycle washer C. the fresh air D. workout
Question 33: Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
A. Alex Gadsden is positive about the success of the cycle washer.
B. The cycle washer can help you to remain strong and healthy.
C. It doesn't require any electricity to run the cycle washer.
D. Alex's machine isn't effective in terms of cleaning the clothes.

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 from 34 to 40.
Los Angeles dancer, Brian Perez, was eating out with his friends one evening when
suddenly everyone went quiet. To his horror, he saw that the reason for this was that people
were checking their phones. Realising he had to do something to stop this, Brian made a
rather daring suggestion. What if they all put their gadgets in a pile in the middle of the table
until they had finished the meal? If anyone picked up their phone, that person would have to
pay the whole bill. And so, it is said, the game of 'phone stacking' was born.
The necessity for action like this highlights a major problem in today's society: our
inability to disconnect from technology. But while Brian's idea deals with the obsession in a
social context, measures also need to be taken at home. Some people drop their smartphones
into a box the moment they arrive home, which gives them the chance to interact with the
people they live with. The fact that the phone cannot be heard - it is on silent - nor seen - the
flashing lights are hidden by the box - means that they are no longer tempted to use it.
A less drastic solution is to ban electronic devices at certain times of day when the
whole family is likely to be together, for example at meal times. This can be hard for
everyone, from teenagers desperate to text friends to parents unable to switch off from work.
On a normal day, however, dinner takes less than an hour, and the benefits of exchanging
opinions and anecdotes with the rest of the family certainly makes up for the time spent
offline.
Taking a break from technology is one thing, but knowing when to turn off a device
is another. Time seems to stand still in the virtual world, and before you know it, you find
that it is three o'clock in the morning. This is where a digital curfew comes in handy, a set
time when all devices must be put away. Evenings without technology are usually nice and
peaceful and make a more agreeable end to the day. And then it's time for bed. One of the
best ways of ensuring you can sleep at night is to ban electronic devices altogether from the
bedroom. Lying next to a machine bursting with information is far from relaxing, and the
sounds it emits during the night can easily wake you up. With technology out of the room, a
line has been drawn between daytime and sleep time, which enables us to switch off
ourselves and drift off to sleep.
Question 34: Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Dependence on Technology: Time for Change! B. Getting Rid of
Your Mobiles: For Better or Worse?
C. Shocking News: Technology Shapes Our Mind! D. Addiction to
Technology: Storm in a Teacup
Question 35: According to paragraph 1, Brian Perez was shocked to find that_______.
A. people were willing to remove all their gadgets B. the prices for food
were too expensive
C. people were glued to their phones D. everyone seemed quiet by nature
Question 36: The word “highlights” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to______.
A. tackles B. expects C. proposes D. emphasizes
Question 37: The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to________.
A. fact B. phone C. light D. box
Question 38: The word “ban” in paragraph 3 is opposite in meaning to ______.
A. allow B. forbid C. prohibit D. prevent
Question 39: Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage?

5
 A. People choose not to use their phones at home so that they can talk to other members.
B. Meal times are the most suitable for the whole family to use phones together.
C. Teenagers can find it easier to turn off their phones compared to their parents.
D. Brian's idea is not new in terms of making people less dependent on technology.
Question 40: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Having a conversation at dinner definitely strengthens the bonds among family
members.
B. Using electronic gadgets at bedtime is likely to deprive yourself of having a good sleep.
C. People are more pleasant to talk with when they use technology in the evenings.
D. The line between daytime and sleep time has become increasingly blurred.

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 children have music classes when they attend school. And it is thought that music
can help them learn other subjects better. Research has shown that it can improve children’s
performances in certain subjects.
Some studies have shown that music training can help you understand your own
language better. It could also help you with learning a second one. Moreover, young people
who have studied music also seem to get higher scores in other subjects like maths. So it
could be that these school subjects are connected in some way.
Music also helps you think of new ideas, and believe more in yourself. If you are learning
the guitar, for example, it can be really exciting when you are able to start composing your
own pieces of music. One of the biggest benefits, of course, is that listening to music can
reduce your stress. And composing music can make you feel the same way. Maybe your
musical knowledge will even open up a great career path for you in the future.

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.
A survey into the media habits of teenagers in the USA reveals some surprising statistics.
The average teenager spends an incredible eleven hours each day on their mobile phones,
computers, games consoles or TVs. That's more hours than they are awake outside school
time! How are they able to do this? The answer, of course, is multitasking.
The results of the survey came as no surprise to fifteen-year-old participant Jake Kendall.
He told researchers that he multitasked every second that he was online. He said that he was
completing their survey at the same time as watching a TV show, chatting to friends online
and reading reviews of the latest film releases. For sixteen-year-old Marisa Sanchez, the
survey simply confirmed the facts. She said that she had watched two hours of TV in the
three hours since the end of school, and also researched her homework about volcanoes,
played an online game for two hours, and arranged her weekend plans by texting friends.
Some experts are worried about the survey results. Sylvia de Lupis of the Family Action
Institute told our reporter that teenagers would have difficulties because of their multitasking
habits. She added that, as adults, they would struggle to focus their attention. However, Dr.
Michael Rich from the Center on Media and Child Health said that worries about
multitasking had become pointless a long time ago, and that high levels of media use were
now a part of young people's environment, 'like the air that they breathe, the water that they
drink and the food that they eat'.

Question 34: Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Teens: More Media Use Than Hours in The Day
B. The Art of Multitasking: A to Z for Teens
C. Teens: Learning through Media
D. Multitasking - Part of Teens' Everyday Life
Question 35: According to paragraph 1, which device may not be used daily by teens?
A. game consoles B. televisions C. e-book readers D. phones
Question 36: The word "reviews" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. comments B. plots C. discussions D. complaints
Question 37: The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to ________.
A. habits B. adults C. difficulties D. teenagers
Question 38: The word "pointless" in paragraph 3 is opposite in meaning to ________.
A. useful B. invaluable C. worthlessD. ineffective
Question 39: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. An average teen in America spends nearly half a day using media.
B. Marisa Sanchez could complete her school assignment and relax at a time.
C. Dr. Michael Rich expected teenagers to get distracted due to multitasking
D. Frequent media use is possibly a matter of course to young people.

15
Question 40: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Family Action Institute must work to stop multitasking.
B. Young people should concentrate on only one medium at a time.
C. Jake Kendall and Marisa Sanchez got good academic results.
D. Youngsters' multitasking habits in media use meet with mixed reactions from the
public.

The Taj Mahal is a beautiful white marble mausoleum in the city of Agra, India. It is
widely considered to be one of the greatest architectural masterpieces in the world and is
listed as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Every year, the Taj Mahal receives
visits from between four and six million tourists from all over the world. Interestingly, less
than 500,000 of those visitors are from overseas; the vast majority are from India itself.
UNESCO has designated the building and its grounds as an official World Heritage
Site, and there is much concern that the sheer volume of foot traffic may have a negative
impact on this wonder of the world. Still, it is hard to blame people in India for wanting to
see the Taj, since the growing middle class there finally has the time and leisure to visit their
country’s great treasure.
The Taj Mahal was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan (reigned 1628 - 1658) in
honor of the Persian princess Mumtaz Mahal, his beloved third wife. She died in 1631 while
bearing their fourteenth child, and Shah Jahan never really recovered from the loss. In 1632,
he poured his energy into designing and building the most beautiful tomb ever known for
her, on the southern banks of the Yamuna River.
It took some 20,000 artisans more than a decade to build the Taj Mahal complex. The
white marble stone is inlaid with floral details carved from precious gems. In places, the
stone is carved into delicate vined screens called pierce work so that visitors can see into the
next chamber. All of the floors are inlaid with patterned stone, and incised painting in
abstract designs adorns the walls. The artisans who did this incredible work were supervised
by an entire committee of architects, headed by Ustad Ahmad Lahauri. The cost in modern

19
 values was about 53 billion rupees ($827 million US). Construction of the mausoleum was
completed around 1648.

Question 29: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as one of the features that beautifies

A. the dome roof B. precious gems C. incised painting D. white marble stone
Question 30: Which of the following is NOT true about the Taj Mahal, according to the
passage?
A. It was built in honor of a princess. B. It is now an official World Heritage Site.
C. It is the most expensive mausoleum worldwide. D. It may have taken 16 years to
complete.

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.
Nepal has made important progress over the past few years to promote equality, but the
country still has one of the highest rates of child marriage in the world. 41% of Nepalese
girls are married before the age of 18.
Poverty is both a cause and consequence of child marriage in Nepal. Girls from the
wealthiest families marry 2 years later than those from the poorest, who are seen as an
economic burden, and who drop out of school and earn little money.
Food insecurity plays an important role too. Nepalese families that do not have enough
food to eat are more likely to marry their daughters at a young age to decrease the financial
burden. One study shows that 91% of people who had secure access to food married over
the age of 19.
Dowry is also common practice in many communities. Parents marry their daughters as
soon as possible because the money they have to pay to the groom’s family is higher if their
daughter is older. Since 2010, the legal age of marriage is 20 for both men and women, or 18
with parental consent, according to the Nepalese Country Code.
The law states that punishment for child marriage is imprisonment for up to three years
and a fine of up to 10,000 rupees (£102). But reports suggest that this law is rarely applied.
There has been quite a lot of progress in Nepal over the past 3 years with a clear government
commitment to ending child marriage and civil society cooperation. The Ministry of Women,
Children and Social Welfare is currently developing Nepal’s first national strategy on child
marriage in collaboration with UNICEF Nepal and Girls Not Brides Nepal. However, the
post-earthquake and post-fuel crisis environment has meant progress is slow and the national
strategy has been delayed.

Although playing video games is one of the most popular leisure activities in the
world, research into its effects on players, (18)_____, is often trivialised.
One innovative application of video games in health care is (19)_____. The degree of
attention 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 such as novelty, users' preferences, and
relative levels of challenge and should compare video games with other potentially
distracting activities.
On balance, given that video game playing is highly prevalent among children and
adolescents in industrialised countries, (23)_____ moderate frequency of play has serious
acute adverse effects from moderate play. Adverse effects, when they occur, tend to be
relatively minor and temporary, resolving spontaneously with decreased frequency of play.
More evidence is needed on excessive play and on defining what constitutes excess in the

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.

 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.
