Read the following passage about gap year and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.

    More and more young people are choosing to take a gap year between finishing school and starting university. Alternatively, they may decide to take a gap year between graduating from university and starting a career, feeling the need for some time out before joining the rat race. Most students see the time as an opportunity to travel. The idea of travelling to as many foreign places as possible appeals greatly.

    A large percentage of gap-year students have wealthy parents who can easily subsidize their travel. Others have to save up before they go, or look for some form of employment while travelling. For example, they may work on local farms or in local hotels. By doing so, they not only earn some money, but they are likely to meet local people and acquire some understanding of their culture.

    There are some students who choose to work for the whole of their gap year. A number may decide to get work experience, either at home or abroad, in an area which they hope to make their career, such as medicine or computers. A large proportion of students are now choosing to work with a charity which arranges voluntary work in various parts of the world. The projects provide hands-on experience of a very varied nature, from teaching to helping build roads or dams.

    The gap year is not just an adventure. Young people can benefit greatly from encountering new and varied experiences and from communication with a wide range of people. Perhaps most importantly, gap-year students have to learn to stand on their own two feet.

Read the following passage about news and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.

    Keeping up with what is happening in the world is generally seen as an essential part of being a well-informed and educated citizen. Watching, listening to or reading the news can satisfy our curiosity, make us think, help us make choices and even avoid danger. However, people are increasingly wondering if staying up to date with what is going on is good for us.

    The frequency, speed and way we access news has completely changed over the past few decades. Whereas previously most newspapers were published daily, and TV and radio news broadcasts were limited, now we are constantly bombarded with news from all sides, we have 24-hour news channels.

    The content of news reports is almost always negative. [I] Throughout history, our survival has depended on noticing threats and avoiding danger, so the human brain is hard-wired to seek out information that is frightening or alarming. [II] It is about humans paying more attention to negative things because that kept us alive in the past and this is reflected in the news we consume. [III] In addition, because people now use smartphones to record events live, the news we see has become far more graphic and shocking. [IV]

    Recent studies have shown that our news habits have disadvantages for our physical and emotional health. In one survey, over 50 percent of Americans reported that the news caused them stress and anxiety, often causing tiredness or poor sleep. Research by psychology expert Graham Davey has also proved that watching terrible or sad news on TV can worsen people’s moods and make them worry more about their own lives. Exposure to this ever-increasing bad news can take a toll on our positivity and affect our health.

    While it is true that staying aware and informed is not a bad thing, we should not forget that we have a choice, not only about how much news we consume, but equally importantly about the kind of news we want to see.
