AVICII’S LIFE AFTER REHAB
Once he completed his month in rehab, Avicii seemed to have a new outlook on life. He was meditating
regularly, reading about the collective unconscious, and got a puppy. After not performing for a long
period of time, he returned to the stage in 2016 at Miami’s Ultra Music Festival. It was announced a few
days after this gig that he would not be performing live anymore. Avicii chose to not perform so that he
could focus on bettering his mental health.
Despite appearing to have new-found stability, Avicii still struggled to deal with his mental health issues.
While continuing to suppress the anxiety and depression that he frequently felt, Avicii also started to
become disinterested in his music career. During this time, he was smoking and drinking on occasion
which may have resulted in a resurgence of his disassociation feelings.
He told Tereza Kacerova, his girlfriend at the time, “What if everyone around me is just a projection in
my mind? Sometimes I just think these things. About how nothing really matters.”
Avicii started to focus heavily on meditation which he found to be helpful in clearing the “nonsense” from
his mind. He believed that a deep form of meditation taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi was a way to
exercise his brain which he had decided would lead to his happiness. Despite this form of meditation
typically being done in 20 minute increments, Avicii would sometimes spend full days meditating in an
attempt to reach enlightenment faster.

Read the following passage about the urban shift 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.
DEPENDENCE ON TECHNOLOGY: TIME FOR CHANGE!
[I] Los Angeles dancer, Brian Perez, was eating out with his friends one evening when suddenly everyone
went quiet. [II] To his horror, he saw that the reason for this was that people were checking their phones.
[III] What if they all put their gadgets in a pile in the middle of the table until they had finished the meal?
[IV] 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 droptheir 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.

B. Parents find it easy to disconnect from work during meal times.

A. Removing devices from the bedroom helps distinguish between waking hours and rest.
B. Keeping technology in the bedroom allows for better sleep quality.
C. Limiting device usage at night makes it easier to stay awake.
D. Having devices in the bedroom is beneficial for sleep routines.
Question 40: Which of the following best summarises the passage?
A. Frequent technology use can enhance family communication, but it often leads to disconnection during
important moments.
B. Setting boundaries on device usage is essential for fostering meaningful interactions among family
members.
C. While technology offers benefits, it can disrupt family life, necessitating limits on its use during shared
times.
D. Families should embrace technology fully, as it provides more opportunities for communication and
connection
