Florists, personal trainers, professors, and nutritionists all have healthy jobs according to research. There are
many reasons for this. A florist, for example, sells flowers and plants to customers. This is very relaxing work. A
personal trainer, on the other hand, is usually very fit. He or she trains other people to lose weight and to keep fit.
However, research also shows that some jobs are 'unhealthy'. They cause a lot of stress and worry. For
example, a taxi driver drives all day. He often faces traffic jams and difficult passengers too. A firefighter puts out
dangerous fires and sometimes saves people from burning buildings.
Most people are looking for the perfect job. They want a job that is interesting, with a good salary and not
much stress. However, it is difficult to get everything. Healthy, relaxing jobs are usually not very well paid. On
the other hand, people with stressful jobs often get good salaries. For example, the head of a big company gets a
lot of money, but he or she does not always have good health, or the time to enjoy life.

The next time you're out in a public place, like a park or a restaurant, look around you. What is happening?
Some people are surfing the internet on their phones. Others are wearing headphones, listening to music on their
MP3 players. That's just the way life is today. We all spend a fair amount of our time connected to technology.
Now imagine living in a world without smartphones, tablets or any of the electronic gadgets we take for
granted these days. There's no internet and you go to the library and look at a book when you want to find anything
out. You play outside with friends in the real world instead of playing online video games in virtual worlds. There
are no texts, no DVDs and no email. Welcome to 1986!
That's the world the McMillan family from Ontario, Canada, decided to live in for a year. Blair, 27, Morgan,
28, and their two sons Trey and Denton, aged five and three, got rid of their cable TV, smartphones, internet, new
games console, digital camera, DVD player and sat nav, and instead used an old TV, a radio, old telephones, a
VHS video player, an old games console and maps. They decided to try it after seeing how their young children
were becoming dependent on technology. They aren't alone. More and more parents today worry about the effect
technology is having on their children, particularly very young children.
The McMillans decided to get back to basics to see how things have changed. So how did they find their year
without modem technology? ‘I thought Blair was mad when he suggested doing this whole thing,’ says Morgan,
but it's made me realise how much time we wasted. We seem much more relaxed now, not checking in on email
or Facebook all the time.’ The McMillans are now back in the present with a different attitude to today's technology.
Blair said, ‘I'm not anti-technology. I wanted to taste, and I wanted my kids to taste what it would be like without
it, and to see if we could actually do it.”
(Adapted from Optimise by Malcolm Mann and Steve Taylore-Knowles)

Vietnam’s population is ageing quickly. In 2017, more than 10 per cent 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 child birth rate increased remarkably by 7.5 per cent
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 per cent of Vietnam's labor force working in manual labor-
intensive sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing and construction where working above the age of 50 can be
dangerous 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.
Question 39: The best title for this passage could be ________.
A. Vietnam struggling with ageing population B. Stopping the two-child policy in Vietnam
C. Raising the retirement age in Vietnam D. How to solve the aging population in Vietnam
Question 40: Which statement is probably TRUE according to the information in the paragraph 1?
A. In 2017, the elderly take up for one third of the total population, this leads to more concerns about
healthcare, welfare and pensions for the elderly.
B. In 2015, the two-child policy has been officially tightened and succeeded.
C. The government would promote families to have two children to compensate for the ageing population
within the next 20 years.
D. In the next 15-17 years, Vietnam's economy will need a large labor force to integrate with global
economy.
Question 41: The word “its" in paragraph 1 refers to ________?
A. two-Child policy B. aging population
C. retirement age D. economic integration
Question 42: In the 2rd paragraph, the writer suggests that ________.
A. The Ministry of Labor has applied raising the retirement age in May 2017.
B. Raising the retirement age can reduce job opportunities for younger generations.
C. The elderly whose age is 50 would be dangerous if they continued to work
D. Raising the retirement age and stopping two-child policy can be considered as long-term and effective
solutions.
Question 43: The word "temporary" in paragraph 2 means ________.
A. constant B. permanent C. short-term D. long-term
answer to each of the questions from 44 - 50.
Volunteering offers many of the same social benefits, with the added bonus of helping others and
developing useful skills to put on your CV. Plus, students are in a unique position to help, suggests Tom Fox.
"They can take their enthusiasm and excitement for opportunities and share their passions, subject knowledge and
experience with people." The idea of giving up time for nothing might seem impractical at first, especially once
the pressures of study and coursework or exams begin to mount up. However, Michelle Wright, CEO of charity
support organization Cause4, suggests seeing volunteering as a two-way street. "I think it is fine for undergraduates
to approach volunteering as a symbiotic relationship where doing good is just one part of the motivation for
reaching personal and professional goals."
Katerina Rudiger, head of skills and policy campaigns at the Chartered Institute of Personnel and
Development (CIPD), says: "Volunteering can be a valuable way of gaining that experience, as well as building
confidence, broadening your horizons, becoming a better team player and developing those all- important
'employability skills' such as communication and decision making." Amanda Haig, graduate HR manager, agrees
that volunteering can help your employment prospects. "Volunteering can demonstrate positive personality traits
and skill sets, such as proactivity, and teamwork," she says.
A positive side-effect of volunteering is improving your time at university by getting involved in the local
community. Leaving the student bubble can make your time as an undergraduate much more varied. At Bath Spa
University, more than 1,000 students volunteered over the past year, doing everything from working on local
environmental projects to helping in schools or assisting the elderly. ”Quite often there can be a divide between
students and permanent residents," says students' union president Amy Dawson, "but if students invest a little time
now, they will be giving something back to the local community and will reap the benefits in the future."
“You might also find that volunteering helps your studies if you choose the right program. At Lancaster,
volunteering is linked into academic modules in some cases", explains Fox. "This has multiple wins. Students get
to apply their learning in the classroom and share their interests with children in local schools or community
organizations, while schools gain skilled students with a passion for a subject that enthuses their pupils."
Question 44: What is the most suitable title for this reading?
A. Volunteering at university
B. Volunteering helps employment prospects
C. Students should take part in extracurricular activities to put it on CV
D. The virtues of volunteering
Question 45: Which of the following information is NOT mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. Many social benefits are provided by volunteering.
B. Students are likely to be enthusiastic for chances and share their interests with people.
C. Volunteering might increase the pressures of study and coursework or exam.
D. Michelle Wright recommends seeing volunteering as a two-way street.
Question 46: The word “gaining” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by____________.
A. getting B. making C. lacking D. taking
Question 47: Personality traits and skill sets include____________.
A. communication and decision – making B. proactivity and collaboration
C. proactivity and confidence D. passions, subject knowledge and experience.
Question 48: What does the word “side-effect” mean?
A. additional result that you did not expect or want
B. an extra good result
C. another side of a street
D. a two-way street
Question 49: What does the word "they" refer to in paragraph 3?
A. projects B. residents C. students D. benefits
Question 50: Which of the following most accurately reﬂects Fox’s explanation in the last paragraph?
A. Students at universities must join at least one activity in volunteer campaign at local schools.
B. Students at universities should join as many activities in volunteer campaign at local schools as possible.
C. Students at universities who join volunteer work will gain a lot of purposes for the community only.
D. Students at universities who join volunteer work will gain a lot of purposes for not only themselves but also
the community.

Some doctors think that you should drink a glass of water each morning. You should drink this water first
thing, before doing anything else. The temperature of the water should be similar to body temperature; neither too
hot nor too cold. If you drink a glass of water which is too cold, it can cause an imbalance to the body and slow
down the digestive process. Besides, drinking too hot water can bring about some serious side effects such as
extensive damage to the tissue and other organs.
Why should you drink this water? Water helps your body in many ways. It helps clean out your kidneys. It
prepares your stomach for digestion. Water can also help your intestines work better. After drinking water, the
intestines can more easily take out nutrients from our food. Water also helps US go to the bathroom more easily.
Scientists suggest that people take in 1,600 milliliters of water each day. But don't drink all of that water in
one sitting. If you do, your kidneys will have to work much harder to eliminate it. It's better to drink some in the
morning and some in the afternoon. Some people think it's better to drink between meals and not during meals.
They think water dilutes the juices produced in our stomachs. This can interfere with normal digestion. Are you
drinking enough water every day? Check the color of your urine. If it is light yellow, you are probably drinking
enough. If your urine is very dark yellow, you probably need to drink more water. A little more water each day
could make you much healthier.

Companies big and small are plotting their post-pandemic working futures, and it seems likely that ever
fewer of us will funny return to the office as it was before. If the Covid-19 crisis subsides and economies can
largely reopen, the experiences of so many people working from home over the past year will surely shape what
happens next. For many of us, this could emerge as a return to the office for three days a week. Patterns will
obviously vary, but a common thread would be something like Monday, Tuesday and Thursday in the office and
Wednesday and Friday at home.
This coining shift will largely be driven by employers making a calculation between two different, equally
important forces. One is what companies see as the need for in-person creativity and connections, which will spur
their desire to bring people back into offices. For many, we are at our most creative working face to face, meeting
people, talking over lunch and coffee, or gathering in groups. At home, however, we tend to be more efficient in
the daily tasks that make up much of working life. This is the competing force that may keep many of us out of the
office, even after Covid. Working at home under the right conditions - which means in your own room with good
broadband and no children around - can be highly efficient. This greater efficiency on current tasks also combines
with other factors, like the time saved by avoiding the daily commute, offering a compelling reason for people to
stay at home. The past year of Covid home working has perhaps opened many more people's eyes to this.
As companies come to decisions on new working arrangements, they will be essentially making a basic
trade-off: the expectation of greater creativity in new projects at the office, but greater productivity on existing
tasks at home. And, as with most trade-offs, the right answer is not all or nothing — but something in the middle.
Employees seem to prefer this working pattern too. In a recent survey of 5,000 employees in Britain, working in
the office for three days a week was the most popular choice. Not only is this pattern more efficient for companies,
then, but it also helps to keep employees happy and motivated.

Like many American pharmacists of the day, Pemberton was opposed to the drinking of alcohol and wanted
to produce a stimulating soft drink. First, he made "the French Wine of Coca," made from the coca leaf. Then he
began to experiment with the cola nut. Eventually, he managed to make a combination of the two that he thought
was sweet, but not too sweet. Deciding that "the two C's would look well in advertising," he named it Coca–Cola.
Pemberton's invention caught on fairly quickly. By 1905, "Coke" was being advertised all over the country
as "The Great Natural Temperance Drink." The drink enjoyed additional success since there was a large and
popular temperance movement in the US at that time. In the 1920s, alcohol was outlawed, and sales of Coke rose
significantly. However, they continued to rise even after the law was repeated.
Another reason for Coke's popularity was good business sense. A year after he invented it, Pemberton had
sold Coca–Cola to Asa Griggs Candler for only $283.26! Candler was a marketing genius, and by the time he sold
the Coca–Cola Company in1919, it was worth $25 million.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
Most people can remember a phone number for up to thirty Seconds. When this short amount of time elapses,
however, the numbers are erased from the memory. How did the information get there in the first place?
Information that makes its way to the short-term memory (STM) does so via the sensory storage area. The brain
has a filter that only allows stimuli that are of immediate interest to pass on to the STM, also known as the working
memory.
There is much debate about the capacity and duration of short-term memory. The most accepted theory comes
from George A. Miller, a cognitive psychologist who suggested that humans can remember approximately seven
chunks of information. A chunk is defined as a meaningful unit of information, such as a word or name rather than
just a letter or number. Modem theorists suggest that one can increase the capacity of the short-term memory and
improve the chances of a memory being passed on to long-term storage.
When making a conscious effort to memorize something, such as information for an exam, many people
engage in "rote rehearsal". By repeating something over and over again. one is able to keep a memory alive.
Unfortunately, this type of memory maintenance only succeeds if there are no interruptions. As soon as a person
stops rehearsing the information, it has the tendency to disappear. When a pen and paper are not handy. people
often attempt to remember a phone number by repeating it aloud. If the doorbell rings or the dog barks to come in
before a person has the opportunity to make a phone call, he will likely forget the number instantly. Therefore, rote
rehearsal is not an efficient way to pass information from short-term to long-term memory. A better way is to
practice "elaborate rehearsal". This involves assigning semantic meaning to a piece of information so that it can
be filed along with other pre- existing long-term memories.
Encoding information semantically also makes it more retrievable. Retrieving information can be done by
recognition or recall. Humans can easily recall memories that are stored in the long-term memory and used often;
however, if a memory seems to be forgotten, it may eventually be retrieved by prompting. The more cues a person
is given (such as pictures), the more likely a memory can be retrieved. This is why multiple-choice tests are often
used for subjects that require a lot of memorization.
Question 44. According to the passage, how do memories get transferred to the STM?
A. They revert from the long-term memory.
B. They enter via the nervous system.
C. They are filtered from the sensory storage area.
D. They get chunked when they enter the brain.
Question 45. All of the following are mentioned as places in which memories are stored EXCEPT the:
A. maintenance area B. long term memory
C. SIM D. sensory storage area
Question 46. Why does the author mention a dog's bark?
A. To provide a type of interruption
B. To give an example of a type of memory
C. To prove that dogs have better memories than humans
D. To compare another sound that is loud like a doorbell
Question 47. How do theorists believe a person can remember more information in a short time?
A. By rереаtіng іt B. By organizing it
C. By drawing it D. By giving it a name
Question 48. The word elaborate in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to:
A. efficient B. pretty C. regular D. complex
Question 49. The word it in the last paragraph refers to:
A. semantics B. encoding C. STM D. information
Question 50. Which of the following is NOT supported by the passage?
A. The working memory is the same as the short-term memory.
B. Multiple choice exams are the most difficult.
C. Cues help people to recognize information.
D. A memory is kept alive through constant repetition.

Have you ever felt a sudden feeling of joy because you heard a favorite song playing? Then you know that
music can have a strong effect on your emotions. Try to take advantage of this power of music. It can help get you
out of a bad mood or stay in a good mood, says Alicia Ann Clair, professor of music therapy at the University of
Kansas. Music can also help you relax and feel rejuvenated.
To cheer up or boost your energy, listen to Latin music or anything with a strong beat, lots of percussion, and
a fast tempo. When you want to relax after a busy day, music with string instruments and woodwinds, less
percussion, and a slower tempo can calm you.
Listen to calming music before you start any stressful activities, advises Dr. Clair. “Once you’re in a good
state of mind, it’s easier to maintain it.” You can lower stress at work with music, too, by playing relaxing tunes.
But only play them when you really need them. You can change your mood by switching from one kind of music
to another. For example, first play some nice gentle ballads, and then listen to something more energetic. When
you want to calm down after a busy week at work, just do the opposite.

The world's population reached five billion on the day I was born. That was in Indonesia back in 1987, and
my parents were amazed that there were so many people on the planet. However, since then the population has
continued to increase.
The growth of our human population is extraordinary. For more than two million years, humans lived with
no permanent home, finding plants to eat and hunting animals for meat. Then, just 10,000 years ago, we invented
agriculture. At that time, there were only about five million humans, but this figure quickly doubled. The population
reached a billion in 1805, and since then it has multiplied seven times.
The human population has never been bigger, but in some ways the planet seems to be getting smaller. In the
past, travellers from Europe to Indonesia spent months at sea. Now you just have to sit on a plane for a few hours.
When you arrived in another country a hundred years ago, you saw unfamiliar styles of clothing and architecture
and discovered a completely different culture. In many places today, clothing and new buildings are very similar,
and people enjoy the same sports, music, films and TV shows. We also buy the same products from huge, global
companies. In our different continents, we are starting to live the same lives. Even the languages that we use are
becoming more global. There are around seven thousand languages in use today, but the number is decreasing fast.
The same thing is happening around the world. Experts think that the number of different languages will halve
to just 3,500 by the end of this century. Where will it stop? Will there be a time in the future when Earth's billions
all speak just one language, and there are no cultural differences to divide us? Perhaps the planet would be more
peaceful if this happened, but I must admit that the idea is quite depressing. I prefer to think that, as our population
grows, we can celebrate not the similarity but the fascinating diversity of the human race.

The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination is observed annually on the day the police
in Sharpeville, South Africa, opened fire and killed 69 people at a peaceful demonstration against apartheid "pass
laws" in 1960.
In 1979, the General Assembly (26) ________ a programme of activities to be undertaken during the second
half of the Decade for Action to Combat Racism and Racial Discrimination. On that occasion, the General
Assembly decided that a week of solidarity with the peoples struggling against racism (27) ________ racial

We have documented the history of individual metals before and we have also visualized their annual
production. However, we have not seen all of the metals on one timeline before such as in an infographic.
Worth noting is gold’s prominence ever since the beginning of history. Because the yellow metal is one of
the rare elements that can be found in native form, it was used by the earliest of our ancestors.
Comparatively, it is only recently that the technology has advanced to allow us to discover or extract the rest
of the metals on today’s periodic table. For example, even though we knew of titanium as early as 1791, it was
relatively useless all the way up until the 1940’s because of its metallurgy. In the 20th century, scientists advanced
a way to remove the impurities, making it possible to get the strong and hard titanium we know today.
Another standout fact is that it took all the way until the early 19th century for two very important elements
to be discovered. Both are not found free in nature very often and thus slipped detection for many centuries. Silicon,
which actually makes up 26% of the earth’s crust, was discovered in 1823. Then in 1827, aluminium was
discovered – we now know today that it is the most common metal in the earth’s crust. It’s actually 1200X more
abundant than copper.
Question 31: What could be the best title for the passage?
A. Today’s Periodic Table B. Rare Metal Elements
C. The History of Metals D. When Silicon was discovered
Question 32: The word “that” in paragraph 2 refers to ______.

Question 33: According to paragraph 3, titanium was relatively useless until the 1940’s because ______.
A. Men did not discover it until 1940
B. Metallurgy technology was too poor to make it strong and hard
C. There were no the impurities in titanium at the time
D. Titanium at the time was different from the one we know today
Question 34: The word “standout” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. remarkable B. specific C. efficient D. additional
Question 35: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as an information of aluminium?
A. Aluminium was discovered in 1827.
B. Aluminium is the most common metal on earth.
C. The discovery of aluminium was not important.
D. Aluminium’s 1200 times more abundant than copper.
The practice of gathering and storing large amounts of information, and then attempting to make sense of
that information has been around for centuries. For example, the U.S. Census Bureau started recording population
data on punch cards in 1790. Fast forward 100 years, and the invention of the “Tabulating Machine” processed
information on these punch cards hundreds of times faster than humans could.
With the “information explosion” of the 1940s, society desperately needed a better way to both store and
access large amounts of data. In 1970, IBM Research Labs published the first paper on relational databases –
allowing for more efficient ways to locate data in large databases. Think of something similar to an Excel
spreadsheet.
The commercialization of the internet in 1995 paved the way for Web 2.0. In its infancy, the internet was
information-only, and featured static websites that provided dull user experiences. When Web 2.0 launched in
2004, end-users were now able to generate, distribute, and store their own content in a virtual community.
Internet users flooded social media networks like Facebook and Twitter in the mid-2000s, which led to the
distribution of even more data. Around this time, YouTube and Netflix forever changed the ways we would view
and stream video content. Data used from these platforms provided near-real-time insight into consumer behaviour
as well.
With the 2011 launch of Hadoop, a powerful open-source framework for storing data and running
applications, experts agreed that big data was the next frontier for innovation and competition.
The internet of things (IoT) revolutionized big data in 2014. With an internet-connected world, more
businesses decided to shift spending towards big data to reduce operational costs, boost efficiency, and develop
new products and services.
Now, the scope of big data is nearly endless. Researchers in “smart cities” are using real-time data to look at
electricity consumption, pollution, traffic, and much more. Emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and
machine learning are harnessing big data for future automation and helping humans unveil new solutions.
All of these milestones were made possible when the world decided to go digital.

Electricity makes marvellous things happen and its capacity to produce bright, radiant light makes an
especially striking impression when it arrives. Electricity’s introduction thus tends to be associated with progress
and modernity.
This was the case in 1879 when Thomas Edison displayed an incandescent lamp for the first time in Menlo
Park in New Jersey and seven years later when the sultan’s palaces in Zanzibar Town were lit.
Energy has traditionally been studied by researchers within the fields of natural sciences and economy.
Anthropologists who have engaged with energy and society have mainly concerned themselves with fossil fuels
and the role of these in global politics—specifically, around issues of climate change, energy security, and oil
depletion. The societal impact of introducing electricity and the enormous transformation going on in the South
in recent years have received little attention.
Tanja Winther and Harold Wilhite at the Centre for Development and Environment have recently published
an article where they used their fieldwork from Kenya and Tanzania to show how electricity’s arrival in new places
affects community and household practices, social relations, local economy and power relations.
A. Capacity to Produce Light B. Traditional Study about Energy
C. Life Changes with Electricity D. Electricity’s Arrival in New Places
Question 32: According to paragraph 3, the societal impact of electricity received little attention because ______.
A. no researchers studied this type of energy
B. it’s not a field of natural sciences and economy
C. issues of climate change were too serious at the time

The best cloud computing services offer the opportunity for businesses to undergo digital transformation in
order to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
Cloud services have revolutionized computing, not least through IaaS, PaaS, and especially SaaS, which
have allowed businesses to develop virtualized IT infrastructure and deliver software through the cloud,
independent of a user's operating system.
Even better still, businesses can also mix and match cloud services from different providers through cloud
brokers in order to ensure these services work to maximum efficiency and cost effectiveness, but also to reduce
the chances of vendor lock-in while also improving redundancy. This may require additional cloud management
software, but for larger businesses the economic benefits can be significant.
Because cloud services are run through software platforms and virtualized networks, it means that it's easy
to access and analyse data for the purposes of analytics as well as for business intelligence purposes. It also makes
it easier to simplify all aspects of monitoring through cloud orchestration and the easy processing of log files
through cloud logging services. The result is IT infrastructure that allows for better maintenance and patching,
while providing for insights that would have previously been much more difficult to access.
Cloud computing services also offer the advantage of being scalable, which means not only can you access
additional resources exactly as you need them, but you are also charged only for the services you use so there's no
need to buy in extra hardware for additional redundancy.
This especially applies to when storing data, as online cloud storage can be treated as effectively limitless.
Even though you might be using cloud databases for your structured data, you can also archive everything else into
massive data lakes for additional processing using AI and machine learning for greater insights. Altogether, cloud
services offer unparalleled potential for improving business performance and increasing profits, and here we'll look
at the best cloud computing service provider.
A. Best cloud computing services B. Virtualized IT Infrastructure
C. Software Platforms and Virtualized Networks D. Cloud Computing Services
Question 37: The word “benefits” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.

Where Edison succeeded and surpassed his competition was in developing a practical and inexpensive light
bulb, according to the DOE. Edison and his team of researchers in Edison's laboratory in Menlo Park, N.J., tested
more than 3,000 (34) ________ for bulbs between 1878 and 1880. In November 1879, Edison filed a patent for
an electric lamp with a carbon filament. The patent listed (35) ________ materials that might be used for the
filament, including cotton, linen and wood. Edison spent the next year finding the perfect filament for his new
bulb, testing more than 6,000 plants to determine which material would burn the longest.
Several months after the 1879 patent was granted, Edison and his team (36) ________ that a carbonized
bamboo filament could burn for more than 1,200 hours. Bamboo was used for the filaments in Edison's bulbs (37)
________ it began to be replaced by longer-lasting materials in the 1880s and early 1900s.
In 1882, Lewis Howard Latimer, one of Edison's researchers, patented a more efficient way of manufacturing
carbon filaments. And in 1903, Willis R. Whitney invented a treatment for these filaments (38) ________ allowed them
to burn bright without darkening the insides of their glass bulbs.

For millennia, the range of metals available for making things comprised a limited set of elements. Apart
from precious metals used for money and jewellery, the practical metals were exclusively forms or alloys of lead,
copper, or iron. This changed in the late 19th century, most spectacularly with the introduction of aluminium. This
was a metal that was not even suspected to exist until about 200 years ago, when chemists began to use new tools
to explore the composition of common minerals.
One of the minerals they investigated was alum, which people had relied on since ancient times as an
astringent and in making dyes more stable. This material appeared to have an unknown metallic origin, but the
metal was not separated out until the 1820s and not purified until the 1850s. Even then, it was very expensive and
difficult to make. The wonderful properties of aluminium—especially its remarkable light weight and its silvery
luster—attracted wide attention. Precious jewellery and exotic objects such as opera glasses were fabricated from
it. It was even seen fitting to make the small apex of the Washington Monument, completed in 1884, out of pure
aluminium.
The status of aluminium changed dramatically in the 1880s, when two young chemists, one in France and
the other in the United States, discovered how to make pure aluminium metal using strong electric currents. This
"electrolytic process" made the metal readily available, depending only on the availability of cheap electricity. The
coming of aviation in the early 1900s gave aluminium new strategic value, and expanded production to meet
wartime demand led to the metal becoming one of the most ubiquitous of the 20th century.
A. Is Aluminium a Metal? B. Aluminium and Opera Glasses
C. Wartime Demand for Metal D. Aluminium
Question 40: According to paragraph 1, people used to think aluminium didn’t exist because ______.

The first modern air conditioner was invented in 1902 by Willis Haviland Carrier, a skilled engineer who
began experimenting with the laws of humidity control to solve an application problem at a printing plant in
Brooklyn, NY. Borrowing from the concepts of mechanical refrigeration established in earlier years, Carrier’s
system sent air through coils filled with cold water, cooling the air while at the same time removing moisture to
control room humidity. In 1933, the Carrier Air Conditioning Company of America developed an air conditioner
that used a belt-driven condensing unit and associated blower, mechanical controls, and evaporator coil, and this
device became the model in the growing U.S. marketplace for air-cooling systems.
Today’s air conditioners, while operating on the same fundamental science as Carrier’s 1933 system,
incorporate advancements in vapour compression, diagnostics and controls, electronic sensors, materials, and
energy efficiency. Carrier’s new top-of-the line central air conditioner, the Infinity, is far different than the
founder’s early models, featuring advanced components including a two-stage scroll compressor for quieter, more
energy-efficient performance.
Energy efficiency standards set by the U.S. Department of Energy are driving improvements in air-
conditioning systems. “Minimum efficiency standards for air conditioner systems have progressively increased,
particularly in the last five years, requiring manufacturers to optimize systems to reduce energy consumption,”
says Dennis Thoren, vice president of engineering and technology at Ingersoll Rand, Davidson, NC, which markets
the popular Trane line of air conditioners.
To comply with the regulations, air-conditioning manufacturers have successfully increased the Seasonal
Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) to 16 or 18, exceeding the DOE’s efficiency standards. Some high-end models
like the Lennox XC21 and Trane XL20i, in addition to the Infinity, are rated up to 21 SEER, further aiding the
environment while enabling energy cost savings for customers.
A. The Father of the Air Conditioner B. Smart Technologies
C. Experimenting with The Laws of Humidity D. Air-conditioning Manufacturers

A. In Carrier’s system, the air was cooled by sending air through coils filled with cold water.
B. Today’s air conditioners incorporate advancements to work more effectively.
C. The Infinity air conditioner is totally the same as the founder’s early models.
D. People have increased minimum efficiency standards for air conditioner systems.

Non-verbal business communication is an essential part of how we communicate. One famous (and often
misunderstood) study from the 1960s estimated that the emotional content and interpretation of about 93 percent
of human communication is significantly influenced by body language, attitude, and tone, with only 7 percent of
the emotional content relying solely on the actual words that are used. While the study focused on the emotions,
not the literal meanings, behind what we communicate, this is still significant.
In the world of business too, as well as in our everyday lives, non-verbal communication expresses a range
of emotional content that we wish to convey. When we shake hands upon meeting someone, for instance, it usually
signifies that we are pleased to see or meet them and often reinforces verbal utterances like, “It’s great to see/meet
you.”
But the COVID-19 pandemic has made it more difficult to convey the emotions we can normally show
through our culturally diverse repertoire of body language. As a result, people have been coming up with creative
solutions like the “Wuhan shake” or the “air handshake.” Some voices in the media have even been asking if the
“new normal” might mark the end of the traditional handshake.
The truth is that the pandemic has not changed the use of body language and other non-verbal communication
in the world of business or in human interaction in general. It is simply escalating the changes that have already
been happening or were bound to happen at some point.
A. Emotional Content and Interpretation

Among the various summer schools and seminars in existence, a special position is held by the International
Summer School in Oslo. For the past 20 years, students and teachers have gathered here from around the world.
With regard to the number of courses, the quality of the lecturers and the type of participants, this Summer School
undoubtedly holds a respected position.
In the space of six weeks in Norway, participants from almost all continents had the opportunity to live and
study together. They studied not only their particular subjects in the special courses, the general aspects of Norway,
its people and their way of life, but they also had a unique occasion for the exchange of experiences and thoughts
ranging over a wide area.
Today, when we are striving for the full affirmation of active peaceful coexistence—creating, developing
and accepting conditions for forming a real international community—every action in the field of international
understanding holds importance. Thus the gathering of nations in Oslo ideally presents the opportunity for the
creating of the new ideas needed for cooperation and understanding. The problem is to avoid accepting the existing
status quo in world relations. During the international evenings, chats after lectures, various discussions and, most
important, during personal talks each person had the opportunity to comprehend and finally accept some of his
friends’ ideas which at firsts appeared to be so strangely different.
The system of studies in different countries, problems of living standards, economic politics, political
freedom and, what is more important, ideological orientation was clarified for many of us after six weeks of living
together. The 42 days of lectures, conversations in the cafeteria, and excursions laid a strong foundation for the
development of new friendships. The need for cooperation and broader contact has become clearer to most of the
participants.
After the end of school, the small international society of Blindern composed of a mixture of people from
East and West, the North and South of the world will disappear. Each returns to his respective country, but the
rich and useful experiences prove how urgently international friendship is needed today, and that it must be striven
for and achieved.

Depression drains your energy, hope, and drive, making it difficult to take the steps that will help you to feel
better. Sometimes, just thinking about the things you should do to feel better, like exercising or spending time with
friends, can seem exhausting or impossible to put into action.
It’s the Catch-22 of depression recovery: The things that help the most are the things that are the most
difficult to do. There is a big difference, however, between something that’s difficult and something that’s
impossible. While recovering from depression isn’t quick or easy, you do have more control than you realize—
even if your depression is severe and stubbornly persistent. The key is to start small and build from there. You
may not have much energy, but by drawing on all your reserves, you should have enough to take a walk around
the block or pick up the phone to call a loved one, for example.
Taking the first step is always the hardest. But going for a walk or getting up and dancing to your favorite
music, for example, is something you can do right now. And it can substantially boost your mood and energy for
several hours—long enough to put a second recovery step into action, such as preparing a mood-boosting meal or
arranging to meet an old friend. By taking the small but positive steps day by day, you’ll soon lift the heavy fog of
depression and find yourself feeling happier, healthier, and more hopeful again.
A. Why Is Dealing with Depression So Difficult?
B. Depression - Your Energy and Hope
C. Depression Isn’t Quick or Easy
D. Your Mood and Energy for Several Hours
A. recovery B. difference C. things D. something
Question 33: According to paragraph 2, it’s possible to recover from depression because ______.
A. it’s the most difficult thing to do
B. people have more control than they realize
C. it’s stubbornly persistent
D. people can pick up the phone to call regularly
Question 34: The word “severe” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. mental B. secure C. typical D. acute
Question 35: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a characteristic of the first
step to recover depression?
A. Dancing to the favourite music isn’t the thing you can do immediately.
B. The first step is always the hardest.
C. It can substantially boost your mood and energy.
D. You’ll soon lift the heavy fog of depression.
The history of paper dates back almost 2,000 years to when inventors in China first crafted cloth sheets to
record their drawings and writings. Before then, people communicated through pictures and symbols etched on
stone, bones, cave walls, or clay tablets.
Paper as we know it today was first made in Lei-Yang, China by Ts'ai Lun, a Chinese court official. In all
likelihood, Ts'ai mixed mulberry bark, hemp and rags with water, mashed it into pulp, pressed out the liquid, and
hung the thin mat to dry in the sun. During the 8th century, Muslims (from the region that is now Syria, Saudi
Arabia, and Iraq) learned the Chinese secret of papermaking when they captured a Chinese paper mill. Later, when
the Muslims invaded Europe, they brought this secret with them. The first paper mill was built in Spain, and soon,
paper was being made at mills all across Europe. Over the next 800 years, paper was used for printing important
books, bibles, and legal documents. England began making large supplies of paper in the late 15th century and
supplied the colonies with paper for many years. Finally, in 1690, the first U.S. paper mill was built in
Pennsylvania.
At first, American paper mills used the Chinese method of shredding old rags and clothes into individual
fibres to make paper. As the demand for paper grew, the mills changed used fibre from trees because wood was
less expensive and more abundant than cloth.
Today, paper is made from trees mostly grown on working forests and from recovered paper. Recycling has
always been a part of papermaking. When you recycle your used paper, paper mills will use it to make new
newspapers, notebook paper, paper grocery bags, corrugated boxes, envelopes, magazines, cartons, and other paper
products.
Besides using recovered paper and trees to make paper, paper mills may also use wood chips and sawdust
left over from lumber operations (whose products are used to make houses, furniture, and other things). Today,
more than 36 percent of the fibre used to make new paper products in the United States comes from recycled
sources.

The ancient Egyptians were the first to incorporate perfume into their culture, followed by the ancient
Chinese, Hindus, Israelites, Carthaginians, Arabs, Greeks, and Romans. The oldest perfumes were discovered by
archaeologists in Cyprus. They were more than 4,000 years old. A cuneiform tablet from Mesopotamia, dating
back more than 3,000 years, identifies a woman named Tapputi as the first recorded perfume maker. But perfumes
could also be found in India at the time.
The earliest use of perfume bottles is Egyptian and dates to around 1000 B.C. The Egyptians invented glass,
and perfume bottles were one of the first common uses for glass. Persian and Arab chemists helped codify the
production of perfume and its use spread throughout the world of classical antiquity. The rise of Christianity,
however, saw a decline in the use of perfume for much of the Dark Ages. It was the Muslim world that kept the
traditions of perfume alive during this time—and helped trigger its revival with the onset of international trade.
The 16th century saw the popularity of perfume explode in France, especially among the upper classes and
nobles. With help from “the perfume court,” the court of Louis XV, everything got perfumed: furniture, gloves,
and other clothing. The 18th-century invention of eau de Cologne helped the perfume industry continue to grow.

D. Eau de Cologne was invented in the 18th-century.
For thousands of years, our ancestors appreciated a small number of materials distinguished by their smooth
and often colourful appearance: Ivory, tortoiseshell, and horn could be turned into small luxury items that bore a
warmth and elegance hard to achieve in other substances. In the 1800s, the growth of markets, combined with a
greatly enlarged understanding of chemistry, gave rise to a whole new class of artificial substances that made it
possible to turn out such items in great quantities at low cost. The first commercial plastic was celluloid, made
from nitrated cotton and camphor. When this combination was heated under pressure, it was transformed into an
astonishingly versatile substance that could be made into everything from combs and collars to dolls, playing cards,
and, eventually, ping pong balls.
In the 20th century, this first plastic was joined by a host of substances that were even more, well, plastic.
The new plastics, by then typically made from by-products of coal or petroleum production, were sometimes
fashioned into more ersatz luxury items. But their properties also lent themselves to a host of technical uses, from
telephones and other electrical devices to substitute body parts and other medical devices that would be all but
unthinkable made out of any other substance.
Closely related to these plastics was rubber, which started out as a natural product brought to Europe by early
explorers of South America. Natives used the milky sap of Hevea brasiliensis for waterproofing and making
bouncing balls. The Europeans adapted lumps of dried sap to rub out pencil marks (hence the name "rubber"). It
was not until about 1840 that Charles Goodyear discovered how to make the material into a range of stable forms,
good for everything from combs to inflatable rafts. The rubber pneumatic tire proved indispensable for motor
transport in the 20th century, and this dependence led to the invention of synthetic rubber, much in the same fashion
as the plastics.

Tsunamis have occurred often throughout history. So frequently in Japan, in fact, that they invented the word

The Earth used to spin on its axis faster than it does today. After the hypothetical giant impact that led to the
formation of the moon, the Earth's day was as short as 6 hours. How did it get to a leisurely 24?
That's right, it was the moon! The moon makes some pretty nice tides, but the Earth is also spinning on its
axis. That spinning physically drags the tidal bulges around the planet. So instead of the tides appearing directly
beneath the moon, they're slightly ahead of it, orbitally speaking.
So you've got a big lump of extra ocean water in a place where it's not supposed to be. Since gravity is a
two-way street, that lump pulls on the moon. Like tugging a reluctant dog on a leash, that tidal bulge yanks on the
moon bit by bit, accelerating it into ever-higher orbits.
By the way, the moon is slowly getting farther away from Earth. And that energy to accelerate the moon has
to come from somewhere, and that somewhere is the Earth itself: Day by day, millennium by millennium, the Earth
slows down, converting its rotational energy into the moon's orbital energy.
If you took away the moon, itꞌs not like this process would reverse, but it wouldn't keep going. That might
or might not be a good thing, depending on how much you like the length of your workday.
A. Do You Like 24 Hours in A Day? B. The Moon Makes Tides
C. Extra Ocean Water in A Place D. The Earth’s rotational energy
Question 32: According to paragraph 2, the tides appear slightly ahead of the moon because ______.

Question 33: The word “where” in paragraph 3 refers to ______.
A. big lump B. ocean water C. place D. gravity
Question 34: The word “reluctant” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.

Question 35: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a fact related to the moon?
A. The distance between the moon and the Earth is slowly farther.
B. The moon's orbital energy originates from the Earth’s rotational energy.
C. The disappearance of the moon wouldn’t reverse the process.
D. The length of your workday depends much on the moon.
Going beyond body language that involves skin contact, there are other business-related practices involving
contact with surfaces that will also likely be phased out. Again, this would probably have happened anyway, but
COVID-19 has hastened the process. The use of AirPlay and other mirroring technology will become the mainstay,
and using a public desktop computer in a meeting room, with people bringing their files on USB flash drives, will
become a thing of the past. Is your boss still printing hard copies of the meeting agenda and passing it out prior to
the meeting? This is the time to finally start sharing all those forms digitally and have them live on a cloud.
Touchless technology in general will become more standard across the board. For example, if your workplace
cafeteria currently doesn’t have a touchless payment system, it likely soon will. Accessible doors will finally gain
traction. Automatic doors for bathrooms and meeting rooms have been sold for years in the name of accessibility.
Now that they can serve a dual purpose (i.e. accessibility and the prevention of viral transmissions), more
companies will implement them.
Business travel, a source of much surface contact (as well as skin contact from all that handshaking), will
also be transformed. Most likely we’ll see an overall decrease of it, just like we did after 9/11 and the Great
Recession. Teleconferencing is here to stay and it will become much more immersive, eliminating the need for a
significant amount of business travel. In-person, physical travel will be reserved for the more essential trips.
Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, once said “For all of the beauty of technology and all the things we’ve helped
facilitate over the years, nothing yet replaces human interaction.” And it’s true. When it comes to effective business
communication, nothing will replace human interaction. Rather, human interaction, both in-person and digital, is
simply evolving. And this evolution, particularly when it is in response to shifting societal needs, is mostly a good
thing.

A lot of wealthy individuals and companies around the world have personal and corporate jets. As you can
imagine, these jets do not come with a small price tag. And when money becomes tight, there are times when the
payments on these jets are not made, and they have to be repossessed. Enter the airplane repossession specialists.
These men and women are responsible for recovering commercial aircraft from around the world, sometimes from
less-than-ideal locations or owners, making it occasionally risky but equally thrilling work.
You will be responsible for finding the aircraft's location and monitoring the site, somewhat like that of a
private investigator. You will be determining the most opportune time to jump into the plane and take off with it.
It is not as simple as the car repo man who shows up with a tow truck in the middle of the night. When an owner
does not want to turn over their plane, planning to legally apprehend it can feel a bit like you're a secret agent in
the latest Hollywood blockbuster.
It is almost unheard of for airplane repo specialists to repossess planes on their own. You are typically sent
as part of a team, which includes a mechanic who checks the plane to ensure that it is safe for take-off. Although
airplane repo professionals come from all different kinds of backgrounds, you will have to become a commercial
pilot since you need to fly the plane. And you could expect to receive good compensation for doing so. You will
likely work on a commission basis. Forbes has reported that an airplane repo person can make anywhere from
$10,000 to $90,000 per plane, depending on its resale value.
A. Payments on The Jets
B. Most Opportune Time to Jump into The Plane
C. Mechanic Checks The Plane
D. Airplane Repo Person
Question 32: According to paragraph 1, some jets have to be repossessed because ______.

D. They themselves need to fly the plane.
The coronavirus pandemic has changed the way we live and interact with each other. We often speak of the
“new normal”. This concerns our social norms – meaning patterns of behaviour, aspirations, attitudes. Norms can
be visible (overt) and hidden (covert); if we behave in a certain way long and frequently enough, it becomes normal
for us. Our norms have changed during the pandemic since the disease caused by the virus is so infectious that we
need to change our behaviour to prevent it from spreading further. These altered social norms include, among
others, social distancing, the way we greet each other (e.g. by touching elbows), and the way we work (e.g. many
of us are now working and learning remotely).
Changing social norms also affect our social bonds. Because of the lockdown, some relationships have grown
stronger (e.g. with family members, friends), and some – weaker (e.g. with more distant acquaintances, colleagues).
We’ve worked out new ways to keep in touch with each other, and even to form new relationships – by, for
example, organising online meetings or even parties. For many of us, this model of work and communication has
already become the “new normal”, and it’s hard to imagine that we won’t keep at least some of today’s behaviours
alive after the pandemic ends.
There are many threats underlying these changes, though. It may happen, for instance, that people will
become used to communicating only or almost only online, which will make their “offline” relationships weaker.
The sense of alienation at work may increase – employees can become more alienated not only from their
workplace but also from work itself. It’s still hard to tell what long-term social consequences the intensifying
economic crisis will be for our lifestyle and how the way we work and our consumer behaviours will change. Much
depends on how long the pandemic will last and how much our behaviour needs to change for us to be able to
adapt to the new reality.
It may appear that long after the threat is gone and all COVID-19-related restrictions, prohibitions, and
“lockdowns” are abolished, even if we forget about the coronavirus, some of the social norms having emerged
during the pandemic may be here to stay.

Cloud computing services are operated from giant datacentres around the world. AWS divides this up by
'regions' and 'availability zones'. Each AWS region is a separate geographic area, like EU (London) or US West
(Oregon), which AWS then further subdivides into what it calls availability zones (AZs). An AZ is composed of
one or more datacentres that are far enough apart that in theory a single disaster won't take both offline, but close
enough together for business continuity applications that require rapid failover. Each AZ has multiple internet
connections and power connections to multiple grids: AWS has over 50 AZs.
Google uses a similar model, dividing its cloud computing resources into regions which are then subdivided
into zones, which include one or more datacentres from which customers can run their services. It currently has 15
regions made up of 44 zones: Google recommends customers deploy applications across multiple zones and regions
to help protect against unexpected failures.
Microsoft Azure divides its resources slightly differently. It offers regions which it describes as is a "set of
datacentres deployed within a latency-defined perimeter and connected through a dedicated regional low-latency
network". It also offers 'geographies' typically containing two or more regions, that can be used by customers with
specific data-residency and compliance needs "to keep their data and apps close". It also offers availability zones
made up of one or more data centres equipped with independent power, cooling and networking.
A. Separate AWS Region According to Geographic Areas
B. Cloud computing region and computing availability zone
C. Cloud computing resources of Google
D. How Microsoft Azure divides its resources
Question 32: According to paragraph 1, datacentres in an AZ are neither too far nor too near from one another
because ______.
A. they have to be able to avoid disaster and ensure rapid failover
B. they have multiple internet connections and power connections
C. they have multiple grids of AWS
D. they are divided into 'regions' and 'availability zones'
Question 33: The word “similar” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. available B. capable C. comparable D. remarkable

Question 35: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a feature of Microsoft Azure?
A. It offers availability zones made up of only one data centre.
B. It offers regions which it describes as is a set of datacentres.
C. Its datacentres are deployed within a latency-defined perimeter.
D. It offers geographies typically containing two or more regions.
As Hubble orbits Earth, the Fine Guidance Sensors lock onto stars. The Fine Guidance Sensors are part of
the Pointing Control System and aim Hubble in the right direction. The telescope can lock onto a target that is one
mile away without moving more than the width of a human hair.
Once the target is acquired, Hubble's primary mirror collects light. The mirror can collect about 40,000 times
more light than the human eye. The light bounces off the primary mirror to the secondary mirror. The secondary
mirror focuses the light back through a hole in the primary mirror. From there, the light shines to Hubble's scientific
instruments. Each instrument has a different way of interpreting the light.
Hubble has five scientific instruments which include cameras and spectrographs. A spectrograph is an
instrument that splits light into its individual wavelengths.
The Wide Field Camera 3 is Hubble’s main camera. It studies everything from the formation of distant
galaxies to the planets in the solar system. The camera can see three different kinds of light: near-ultraviolet, visible
and near-infrared. But Hubble can only see each kind of light one at a time. Human eyes can see visible light. Near-
ultraviolet and near-infrared are just beyond what our eyes can see.
The Advanced Camera for Surveys captures images of large areas of space. These images have helped
scientists study some of the earliest activity in the universe.
The Cosmic Origins Spectrograph reads ultraviolet light. This spectrograph studies how galaxies, stars and
planets formed and changed.
The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph helps scientists determine the temperature, chemical
composition, density and motion of objects in space. It also has been used to detect black holes.
The Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer, or NICMOS, sees objects in deep space by
sensing the heat they emit. It captures images and it is also a spectrograph. NICMOS helps scientists study how
stars, galaxies and planetary systems form.

Light also influences the circadian rhythm. The brain contains a special region of nerve cells known as the
hypothalamus, (28) ________ a cluster of cells in the hypothalamus called the suprachiasmatic nucleus, which
processes (29) ________ when the eyes are exposed to natural or artificial light. These signals help the brain

The Schengen Agreement is a treaty between European nations which eventually led to the creation of a
common travel area in which there are few internal border checks. The agreement gets its name from the town of
Schengen in Luxembourg, where it was signed by representatives of five of the ten member states of the then
European Economic Community (EEC). The agreement proposed measures intended to gradually abolish border
checks at the signatories' common borders, including hugely reducing vehicle checks, freedom for citizens to cross
borders, and the harmonization of visa policies.
In 1990, the original agreement was supplemented by the Schengen Convention which proposed the
complete abolition of systematic internal border controls and a common visa policy. This led to the creation of the
Schengen Area in 1995. It operates very much like a single state for international travel purposes, with external
border controls imposed on travellers entering and exiting the area, but with no internal border controls.
Originally, the Schengen treaties and the rules adopted under them were officially independent from the EEC
and its successor, the European Union (EU). In 1999, they were incorporated into European Union law by the
Treaty of Amsterdam, which codified Schengen into EU law while providing opt-outs for Ireland and the U.K.,
with the latter since leaving the EU. EU member states that don’t have an opt-out which have not already joined
the Schengen Area are legally obliged to do so when they meet technical requirements. Although it is linked to
EU law, several non-EU countries are included in the area, having signed up to the agreement.
A. The Town of Schengen in Luxembourg
B. Abolition of Systematic Internal Border Controls
C. The EEC and Its Successor
D. What is the Schengen Agreement?
Question 32: According to paragraph 1, The Schengen Agreement was signed by the representatives because
______.
A. the harmonization of visa policies couldn’t be achieved
B. they want to gradually abolish border checks
C. they want to reducing the number of vehicles
D. the number of citizens crossing borders must be controlled
A. visa policy B. agreement
C. Schengen Convention D. abolition
Question 34: The word “obliged” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. enforced B. interested C. sacred D. united
Question 35: According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a characteristic of the
Schengen treaties?

B. The Schengen Area included Ireland and the U.K as well.
C. They were incorporated into European Union law.
D. Some member are legally obliged to joined the Schengen Area.
In addition to light, the sun radiates heat and a steady stream of charged particles known as the solar wind.
The wind blows about 280 miles (450 kilometres) a second throughout the solar system, extending the sun's
magnetic field out more than 10 billion miles. Beyond that distance, the solar wind gives way to the colder, dense
material that drifts in between stars, forming a boundary called the heliopause. So far, just two spacecraft—
Voyager 1 and Voyager 2—have crossed this cosmic threshold, which defines the start of interstellar space.
Every so often, a patch of particles will burst from the sun in a solar flare, which can disrupt satellite
communications and knock out power on Earth. Flares usually stem from the activity of sunspots, cool regions of
the photosphere that form and dissipate as the sun's internal magnetic field shifts. Solar flares and sunspots obey a
regular cycle, rising and falling in number every 11 years as the poles of the sun's magnetic field flip back and
forth.
Sometimes, the sun will also launch huge bubbles of magnetized particles from its corona, in events called
coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Some CMEs can grow as large as the sun itself and fling as much as a billion tons
of material in a given direction. As they rush from the sun, CMEs can send huge shockwaves through the solar
wind. If a CME collided with Earth, its particles could pack enough power to fry electronics in orbit and on Earth's
surface.
Like many energy sources, the sun will not last forever. It has already used up nearly half of the hydrogen in
its core. The sun will continue to burn through the hydrogen for another five billion years or so, and then helium
will become its primary fuel. At that point, the sun will expand to about a hundred times its current size, swallowing
Mercury and Venus—and maybe Earth. It will burn as a red giant star for another billion years and then collapse
into a white dwarf star.
A. Solar Wind and Flares B. Material That Drifts in Between Stars

C. It’s impossible for the sun to collapse into a white dwarf star.
D. The sun will die when it runs out of the hydrogen in its core.
