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.       Facebook is a for-profit online social media and social networking service. The Facebook website was launched on February 4th, 2004. Since 2006, anyone aged 13 and older has been allowed to become a registered user of Facebook though variations exist in the minimum age requirement, depending on applicable local laws.       Over 25 million people in the UK use Facebook. That's 45% of the population! And on average, each user spends over six hours a month on Facebook. Though not the highest, this is a considerable number. Is Facebook a dangerous obsession or just harmless fun? Seventeen-year-old Bethan has written on her blog about what it was like to stop using Facebook.       “I think I am a Facebook addict. I log on to Facebook every day to chat with my friends - real friends and loads of online friends. Sometimes I have ten conversations going at the same time, and I update my Facebook profile all the time. But recently I've started to feel worried if I am offline for more than a few hours. And then last week I forgot to meet a real friend because I was online! I've realized I could have a problem. So I've decided to give it up for a while.”       “I found it really hard. Facebook and my friends demanded to know why I had left. I spent the first few evenings wondering what everyone was chatting about on Facebook. I even phoned a couple of friends to find out. The fourth night wasn't so bad. I actually concentrated on my homework better, and I spoke to my friends during the day at school. At the end of the first week, I reactivated my accounts. I think Facebook is fun and it's useful for posting messages to friends and sharing photos. But I'll try not to spend so much time on it in the future.” The word "applicable" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _________.

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 36 to 42.       In our connected globalized world, the languages which dominate communications and business, are placing small languages spoken in remote places under increasing pressure. Fewer and fewer people speak languages such as Liki, Taushiro and Dumi as their children shift away from the language of their ancestors towards languages that promise education, success, and the chance of a better life.       While to many parents, this may appear a reasonable choice, giving their offspring the opportunity to achieve the sort of prosperity they see on television, the children themselves often lose touch with their roots. However, in many places, the more reasonable option of bilingualism, where children learn to speak both a local and a national language, is being promoted. While individuals are free to choose if they wish to speak a minority language, national governments should be under no obligation to provide education in an economically unproductive language, especially in times of budget constraints.       Furthermore, governments have a duty to ensure that young people can fulfill their full potential, meaning that state education must provide them with the ability to speak and work in their national language and so equip them to participate responsibly in national affairs. People whose language competence does not extend beyond the use of a regional tongue have limited prospects. This means that while many people may feel a sentimental attachment to their local language, their government's position should be one of benign neglect, allowing people to speak the language, but not acting to prevent its eventual disappearance.       Many Ph.D. students studying minority languages lack the resources to develop their language skills, with the result that they have to rely on interpreters and translators to communicate with speakers of the language they are studying. This has a detrimental effect on the quality of their research. At the same time, they have to struggle against the frequently expressed opinion that minority languages serve no useful purpose and should be allowed to die a natural death. Such a view fails to take into account the fact that a unique body of knowledge and culture, built up over thousands of years, is contained in a language and that language extinction and species extinction are different facets of the same process. They are part of an impending global catastrophe which is beginning to look unavoidable. Which of the following could best serve as the main topic of the passage?

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 31 to 35.       Vietnam's population is ageing quickly. In 2017, more than 10 percent of the population will be 60 and older, and in 15-20 years the elderly will account for one-third of the total population. This raises concerns about healthcare, welfare and pensions for the elderly at a time when Vietnam is focusing on economic integration and requires a large labor force. So far two solutions have been proposed to loosen the two-child policy and to increase the retirement age to 58 for women and 62 for men. By ending the two-child policy the government expects to make up for the ageing population within the next 20 years. But its effect could be creating an uncontrollable boom in the Vietnamese population. When the government loosened the two child policy in 2015 in a trial period, in the first 6 months of 2016 the third childbirth rate increased remarkably by 7.5 percent.       Raising the retirement age has been proposed by the Ministry of Labor pending parliamentary evaluation in May 2017. While the policy is beneficial in utilizing the work experience of the elderly while creating savings in the pension budget, it also means fewer job prospects and promotion opportunities for younger generations. It is also not in the interest of all the elderly, especially the 70 percent of Vietnam's labor force working in manual labor-intensive sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing and construction in which working above the age of 50 can be at risk and unproductive. Despite these drawbacks, raising the retirement age is still considered by policymakers as one of the key solutions to the ageing population problem in Vietnam. However, these are only temporary solutions. The best title for this passage could be ________.
