Read the following passage about a female firefighter and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
People who think firefighting is a job for men would be surprised to learn that there are now over
230 women in the London Fire Brigade. One of these women is Dany Cotton, who has been with the fire
service for more than 22 years.
Dany spends a lot of her time trying to change the image of the Fire Brigade. She recently took
part in a national campaign promoting firefighting as a career for girls in secondary schools. During the
campaign, she explained that women do the same training and assessment as men and they are expected
to do the same jobs. Both men and women must be fit and healthy, but as long as they pass the
physical tests, height isn’t important.
However, Dany’s favourite question is this: ‘How can a woman carry a man down a ladder from
a building which is on fire?’ She says that in all her years of firefighting, she has never seen anyone try
this, although she was trained to do it. She describes this as something we only see in films and explains
that today's firefighters enter a building as a team to rescue people.
Dany says that saving people from burning buildings is not the only thing that firefighters do. One
of the most important jobs they do these days is in the community. Fire officers visit thousands of homes,
businesses, and schools each year, giving advice that can often save lives. Women are often good at doing
this because of their ability to communicate well. Most of Dany’s work in the Fire Brigade these days is
as a manager in an office, but she still attends emergencies. One of the things she finds most interesting
about her job is this combination of using her skills with people and working in real-life emergency
situations.
(Adapted from Solutions)
Question 23. As stated in paragraph 2, Dany recently participated in a campaign dedicated to
__________.
A. helping school students learn about firefighting
B. trying to change the image of the Fire Brigade
C. explaining how female firefighters work
D. encouraging girls to pursue firefighting
Question 24. The word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to __________.
A. men B. women C. jobs D. girls

Read the following passage about computer addiction and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
When Mark Wright told his son Joe, 15, he was taking him on a trip - but that he had to leave his
computer behind for a week – Joe was horrified. [I] Like many parents, Wright had become exasperated
by his son’s ‘addiction' to computer games and decided it was time to do some father-son bonding, away
from electronic devices. [II] The trip achieved its goal, at least for as long as it lasted. [III] But when they
got home, Joe was back on the laptop and the family arguments over computer use continued. [IV]
Barnaby Lenon, former headmaster of Harrow school, shone a spotlight on the problem. He said
that many teenagers – especially boys – had become ‘addicted’ to computers and that this was affecting
their development: ‘Children spend far too long on computers and as a result they are not doing the two
things that we want them to do, which are reading and talking.’ Lenon, now chairman of the Independent
Schools Council, says it is not only educational attainment but family relationships that are being damaged
by allowing children too much time on computers. ‘The amount of time families spend together is
dropping rapidly and we ought to be worried about that, as children need conversation to learn to interpret
facial expressions as part of their development,’ says Dr Aric Sigman, a psychologist who has written a
report for the European parliament on the impact of computer use on children.
Lenon suggests that parents limit computer use to an hour or two a day. He also says they should
not buy smartphones or other handheld devices for children until they are at least 15 years old. He would
like to see schools setting guidelines for computer use above and beyond that needed for homework.

Sigman goes further and suggests the government should issue advice on time spent using computers or
watching television. “Screen time needs to be regarded as just another form of consumption that we
measure in units per day,” he says. “It seems odd to me that the government gives guidance on our
eating patterns yet there is nothing on our children's main leisure activity even though it may be harmful.”
The bear-hunting trip inspired Wright to devise other trips to take parent and child out of their
normal environment and encourage communication, even if only for a short time. But for those who can't
afford or can't face a trip to the wilderness as an antidote to Facebook, Xbox and the rest, there seems to
be no alternative to that old parental standby – nagging.

their reading skills leading to poor educational outcomes.
C. Barnaby Lenon and Dr Aric Sigman highlight how excessive computer use damages children’s
development, educational achievement, and family relationships.
D. Barnaby Lenon and Dr Aric Sigman warns that teenagers, especially boys, spend too much time on
computers, which negatively impacts their ability to communicate.

Read the following passage about dying languages and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 18 to 22.
The world is getting smaller, at least when it comes to language. More and more people speak the
three most common languages: English, Spanish, and Mandarin. As a result, local languages are being
forgotten. In many parts of the world, grandparents speak a language their grandchildren do not
understand. (18) ___________.
A language is said to be in trouble when less than 30 percent of children in the community speak
it. It is considered a dying language. If children no longer learn to use a language, it will have fewer and
fewer speakers over time and, eventually, the language will be gone.
Why keep languages alive? (19) ___________. They show how a culture understands or explains

Read the following passage about culture shock and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
Each society has its own beliefs, attitudes, customs, behaviours, and social habits. These things
give people a sense of who they are and how they are supposed to behave. They also shape interactions
within the community, influencing traditions, communication styles, and social expectations.
People become conscious of such rules when they meet people from different cultures. For
example, the rules about when to eat vary from culture to culture. Many North Americans and Europeans
organise their timetables around three mealtimes a day. In other countries, however, it’s not the custom
to have strict rules like this – people eat when they want to, and every family has its own timetable.
When people visit or live in a country for the first time, they are often surprised at the differences
between this culture and the one in their own country. For some people, travelling abroad is the thing they
enjoy most in life; for others, cultural differences make them feel uncomfortable, frightened, and insecure.
This is known as “culture shock.” The intensity of culture shock varies from person to person, depending
on their adaptability and prior exposure to different cultures.
When you’re visiting a foreign country, it is important to understand and appreciate cultural
differences. This can help you avoid misunderstandings, develop friendships more easily, and feel more
comfortable when travelling or living abroad.

Read the following passage about paying kids for chores and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
I could hear noises from the kitchen and I felt very proud. [I] I was having my kitchen cupboards
emptied and cleaned out by my 11-year-old son. [II] He looked a little uncomfortable before telling me
in a businesslike manner, 'Do you think it's worth five pounds?' [III] I paid him, but grumpily, only after
accusing him of employing the same tactics as people who clean your windscreen at traffic lights and then
ask for money. [IV] At least it showed enterprise - earning and saving money to buy something he wants.
But can enterprise and the getting of money coexist with family values?
Kate, a single working mum of three older teenagers, says she tried to offer money for chores, but
didn't offer enough. Suzanne, a mother of three girls with big age gaps between them, says: ‘I have paid
my kids for babysitting because I'd have to pay someone else to do this. I wouldn't pay for other jobs
because I think they should do them as a contribution to family life. But I don't think that it should just be
about cash - give and take in a family is about caring and not money.'
It's about caring and money. The difficulty is in working out the right balance. Professor Frank
Furedi, the author of Paranoid Parenting, says, 'Anything that helps children understand that there is a
relationship between effort and outcome is to be welcomed, so paying children for jobs makes sense.
Although it is important not to place too much focus on financial incentives.' Sue Palmer, the author of
Detoxing Childhood, says, 'In our society, we often see the worth of people according to how much
they earn and we are inclined to think that something isn't worth doing unless it's paid.'
How can this be a good message to pass on to the kids? 'It's important that children learn that
money doesn't grow on trees, that you have to earn it,' says Palmer. 'However, there are jobs that everyone
should do with the agreement that nobody gets paid for doing them, that everyone shares responsibility.'
Karen Sullivan, a parenting expert, says: 'Children should take responsibility for themselves and their
belongings, so clearing up toys, games and clothes is a given.' She added that they shouldn't expect to
have their room tidied or their bed made for them. But when does all this start? The idea of contributing
to the household, not for money, but for helping, should begin early, according to Palmer. 'It does have to

start very young, when they love to help, but they are not actually helping but slightly irritating you. It's

the value of money.
B. Kate and Suzanne believe chores should be a contribution to family life, so they rarely offer money for
household tasks.
C. Kate offers money for chores but not enough, while Suzanne pays for babysitting but expects other
tasks to be done freely.
D. Suzanne only pays her children for babysitting, while Kate believes paying for chores is unnecessary
in a family setting.

Question 36. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?
'In our society, we often see the worth of people according to how much they earn and we are
inclined to think that something isn't worth doing unless it's paid.'
A. Not until people earn enough do we see their worth in society, making unpaid tasks seem unnecessary
rather than valuable.
B. The more people earn, the more they are valued in our society, as if unpaid work were not worth doing.
C. Were people not paid, they wouldn’t be considered valuable in our society since we judge their worth
solely by earnings.

how much they should earn.

correct option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 18 to 22.
As little as 50 years ago, few people in the U.S. questioned the gender roles that had been in place
for centuries. Many people assumed that a woman’s place was in the home, and that a man’s main
responsibility to his family (18) _________. In the 1970s and ’80s, however, greater numbers of working
women meant that men were no longer the sole breadwinners. Even so, back then, almost no husbands
were “stay-at-home dads.” Today, with more career opportunities than ever available to women, the stay-
at-home dad trend is on the rise.
A family with a full-time dad has many benefits. (19) ________. The men share in the joy of
participating in their children’s day-to-day experiences. Differences in parenting styles between men and
women are also believed to contribute to children’s well-being. Studies suggest that a strong paternal
presence encourages greater curiosity, higher self-esteem, and better emotional balance in the child. (20)

Moving from a professional career to becoming an at-home parent is a challenge for these modern
dads. But some men are finding ways to stay active with their career goals while parenting at home. Dad
and blogger Hunter Montgomery is a great example of a father (21) _________. “I was a full-time stay-
at-home-dad, but I didn’t plan it that way,” says Hunter. “My intention was to continue work as a mortgage
loan officer from home; it’s the type of work you can easily do remotely.”
It’s safe to say that the stay-at-home dad is here to stay. Finding new ways to stay active socially
and in their careers while parenting, (22) _________.

Read the following passage about culture shock and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
Is intimate friendship a relationship that is dying out in modern society? In our busy lives, we have
many acquaintances and friends - the people we work with, our neighbours, the people we chat to at the
local shop and so on. But how many really close friendships can we count? The truth for most of us is
probably not many. Some psychologists say that while we still value strong family bonds, in recent times,
friendships have lost the strength and importance that they had in the past.
According to a study published recently in the USA, friendships in America have been declining
in quality and quantity since at least 1985. The study claims that 25% of Americans don’t have anyone
they could call a close friend. Yet, on the surface, Americans seem extremely friendly people. If you have
ever visited the USA, you will be familiar with the warmth and hospitality that they show to complete
strangers. Everyone can be treated as a ‘buddy’, even if they are just a casual acquaintance.
But in other cultures, acquaintances and friendships have different qualities. In France, for
example, when you are trying to get to know a person, they may seem rather inhospitable and the length

of time it takes to form a strong friendship seems greater than in other countries. This is because for the
French there is still a clear distinction between a casual acquaintance and a true friend.
Although France is changing and perhaps becoming more like America, there is no doubt that
French people are still more private in their friendships and that they reserve real intimacy for their closest
friends. This intimacy can be found in many other non-western cultures too, where great importance is
attached to the quality and depth of friendships. It is something that many of us in the West have forgotten
and need to rediscover.

Timothy Scott was leisurely leafing through a local newspaper when he saw a small advert for a
'concrete reservoir for sale'. A few months later, along with his wife, Sarah, he is about to become one of
the few Brits who live below the earth. The couple, known locally as the moles', have decided to go
underground not just because they want one of the most unusual homes in Britain, but for good ecological
reasons too.
The first time the couple climbed down a dangerous old iron ladder to inspect the inside of the
reservoir, they expected to descend into metres of mud and water. [I] The massive concrete roof, and the
earth above it, was supported by eight large original brick pillars. [II] ‘We knew immediately that it would
make a wonderful home,’ says Timothy. “We expect virtually no heating bills,” Timothy says. [III] “The

will cut our electricity bills by at least a third.” [IV]
Living underground, which is quite common in America, in parts of Spain and in China, has many
advantages for families. A considerable amount of money is saved on energy and maintenance bills, and
earth-sheltered homes are exempt from most forms of noise and have a low fire risk. What's more, they
are naturally protected from wind and draughts. Earth sheltering also provides greater security and at the
same time a building that will last a good 500 years. Building this way is also compatible with the new
conservationist methods. Society is going to have to look at energy usage, and underground homes can
be space-saving in a crowded country. To avoid living in 'shoe boxes' and to keep agricultural land
green, there is really only one way of building: underground.
However, according to Peter Carpentier, secretary of the British Earth Sheltering Association, who
lives in his own underground home, there are a few disadvantages. For instance, because there are so few
earth-sheltered homes in the UK, it is usually hard, although not impossible, to get planning permission.
When a lot of excavation is needed, building costs can be higher than for conventional homes, although
savings can be made in other ways.

A. the pyramids B. the walls C. lighting effects D. electricity bills
Question 34. Which of the following best summarises paragraph 3?
A. Underground homes, common in some countries, offer energy and cost savings, safety, longevity, and
align with conservation, presenting a solution for crowded areas and land preservation.
B. Earth-sheltered homes save money on bills, resist to fire, and are protected from weather, lasting
centuries and supporting conservation efforts in many countries such as America, Spain, and China.
C. Building underground provides security, durability, and environmental benefits by saving energy and
space, making it a necessary method to preserve farmland and avoid cramped housing.
D. Families in America, Spain, and China benefit from underground living due to reduced energy use,
low maintenance, natural protection, and its ability to accommodate more people than any type of house.

believing the earth will provide insulation and solar energy storage, and that this building method is a
sustainable solution for crowded countries despite some drawbacks.
D. The British Earth Sheltering Association notes that while underground homes like Timothy and Sarah's
offer energy savings, noise reduction, and longevity, obtaining planning permission and managing
excavation costs can be difficult in the UK.

If you ever catch yourself looking at the kitchen bin guiltily, with its huge pile of plastic packets,
cardboard containers and wrappers, you might be interested to know there’s a whole movement that aims
to go one better than even recycling: prerecycling, or cutting out packaging in the first place. Among those
at the forefront of this consumer revolution is Unpackaged, a first-of-its-kind shop (18) _________ to
stock up on essentials. Bring bottles for oils, apple juice, wine and even gin. Having weighed your
container on arrival, (19) _________. Not only will you save money, but by foregoing packaging you’ll
reduce the amount of material waste being either sent to landfills or incinerated.
The company has a clear philosophy that includes sourcing organic, fair-trade products where
possible, supporting artisan local producers and applying the principles of ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’ to all
parts of its operation. (20) _________.
It even has a solution for that most eco-unfriendly product, the takeaway paper coffee cup, with its
‘The 1000 Cup Countdown’ scheme. Unpackaged has promised to provide 1000 biodegradable cups, each
of which comes complete with an RFID (radio frequency identification) tag that will tell you more about
the company’s aims and if returned, (21) _________.
‘We want to be the local store,’ Conway says. ‘We want them to come here rather than go to a
supermarket.’ But what if someone new to the values of the store wanders in looking for some pasta?
‘(22) _________,’ Conway says. ‘If someone comes in and they’re not green and they don’t have any
containers, I don’t want to say that I won’t serve them, because they go away with such an awful view of
what we do. Whereas if we say that this time we’ll provide them with a small paper bag and next time
they can bring their own, then it takes them two or three goes and they’ll end up bringing their own.’

Read the following passage about technology and privacy and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
Today, there are more than four million CCTV cameras in Britain. That’s one camera for every
fifteen people. The cameras are there to film dangerous or illegal behaviour. But they don’t just watch
criminals – they watch almost all of us, almost all of the time. Every time we use a cashpoint machine,
travel on public transport or go into a shop, a camera records our actions. Shops say that this technology
helps to catch shoplifters – but only by treating everybody as a potential criminal.
Cameras are not the only way of monitoring our actions. Every time you use your mobile phone,
the phone company knows the number of the phone you are calling and how long the call lasts. It is even
possible to work out your location. The police often use this information when they’re investigating
serious crimes.
And what about satellites? Are they watching us from space? How much can they see? Anybody
with a computer can download ‘Google Earth’ and get satellite photos of the entire world. Perhaps
governments are using even more powerful satellites to watch their citizens.
Even when you are at home, you are not necessarily safe from surveillance. When you use your
computer to visit websites, you are probably sending and receiving ‘cookies’ without realising it. Cookies
transfer information from your computer to the website and, in theory, could record which websites you
visit. Some cookies, called ‘zombie cookies’, are very difficult to remove from your computer. Modern

Read the following passage about siblings and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
Everybody feels irritated by their siblings from time to time. [I] Maybe your younger brother
shows off and behaves in an immature way when you invite your friends to your house. [II] Or perhaps
your hardworking older sister gets a lot of praise from your parents, making you feel like you are not
trying hard enough. It could also be that your sibling never respects your personal space, constantly
borrowing your things without asking. [III] At times, your brother or sister can feel like your worst enemy.
[IV]
Sibling relationships can be especially difficult for teenagers, who are experiencing many changes
to their preferences and personality. For example, you may now find some of the activities that you used
to enjoy doing with your younger brother childish or a waste of time. At times, the age difference can feel
bigger than it really is, and this can have a negative effect on your relationship. One way to solve this
problem is to make sure you continue to include your brother or sister in your day-to-day life. This can
take some time, so it is important to be patient and enthusiastic.
Of course, it is perfectly normal for brothers and sisters to fall out with one another over
small things. But you should not try to let incidents like these have too big an effect on your relationship.
It is important to learn to forgive your siblings for this kind of behaviour, just as you would forgive your

close friends. In situations like these, it is really important to let your sibling know how you feel. Rather
than insulting your sister when she takes your things, tell her that it makes you feel angry, and that you
would feel much happier if she asked you first. It’s also crucial that you are sensitive to the feelings of
your siblings too.
Finally, it is important to learn how to compromise. It is understandable that you may not want to
lend your favourite jumper to your unreliable sister, but maybe you could offer her a less valuable
alternative item of clothing. Or if your brother likes to spend all his free time watching football and you
find it boring, you could suggest a different sport that you follow regularly together. And if you make the
effort to make your sibling happy, he or she will do the same for you.

siblings?
A. A sibling behaves in a silly way when your friends are over.
B. A sibling is praised more often, making you feel less successful.
C. A sibling invades your privacy and takes your belongings.
D. A sibling seems like an opponent or rival in daily life.
Question 34. Which of the following best summarises paragraph 2?
A. Teenagers may struggle with siblings due to changing interests and age differences, but including them
daily with patience can improve their relationship.
B. Teenage changes can strain sibling bonds as shared activities feel unsuitable, making age differences
seem larger and negatively impacting the relationship.
C. Difficult teenage sibling relationships arise from changing preferences, making past shared activities
unappealing and widening perceived age gaps.
D. Teenagers' changing preferences and perceptions of childhood activities can negatively affect sibling
relationships, requiring patience and understanding in daily life.
Question 35. The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to _________.
A. relationship B. effect C. problem D. age difference
Question 36. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?
Of course, it is perfectly normal for brothers and sisters to fall out with one another over small
things.
A. Were siblings to fall out frequently, it would never be considered acceptable, even over trivial matters.
B. For brothers and sisters to experience disagreements about matters is a completely unimportant
occurrence.
C. Rare though it may be, when brothers and sisters fall out, it usually happens because of minor issues.
D. Falling out over minor issues is a common part of sibling relationships and nothing unusual.
Question 37. The phrase “sensitive to” in paragraph 3 is opposite in meaning to ________.

Read the following passage about barefoot running and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 18 to 22.
In recent years, the growing trend of barefoot running has started a debate among athletes and
doctors about the possible health benefits of running with very light sandals or no shoes at all. Some
athletes say that running barefoot has helped them cure or avoid injuries; others claim that running
barefoot has improved their running form and race times. Opponents, however, say that there is no
scientific or medical proof that barefoot running (18) ________.
Researchers point out that many of the world’s best long distance running cultures - the
Tarahumara Indians of Mexico and the Marathon Monks of Enryaku Temple in Japan, for example - run
either barefoot or in thin sandals and don’t often suffer leg injuries. These same experts note that certain
injuries (19) _________ are rare among barefoot running cultures, especially back and knee issues.

Barefoot running supporters believe that going shoeless strengthens foot and calf muscles,
improves balance, reduces the shock of hitting the ground, and actually makes some runners faster.
Researchers have noted that running barefoot encourages runners to land more on the front of the foot -
the forefoot or ball of the foot - rather than on the heel, which is what most people do when they run in
shoes. This causes a smaller part of the foot to come to a sudden stop when the foot first lands, allowing
the natural spring-like motion of the foot and leg to absorb any further shock. By contrast, (20) ________.
A 2012 study compared runners wearing shoes and running barefoot. (21) ________. Despite this,
there is still no clear-cut data, and the debate about barefoot running is alive and well. Warning that people

Read the following passage about the Number 7 train and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
Welcome to the International Express, the most international train journey in the world. Every day,
some of New York's three million immigrants take the Number 7 train from Queens to Manhattan and
each stop is like a different country. Get off at Flushing station and experience China, go to Corona and
you're in Mexico; the next stop is India at Jackson Heights. Many immigrants are from Latin America,
Eastern Europe, Africa or Asia. If you listen carefully, you can hear more than 100 different languages.
So why is this train so popular? A hundred years ago, most immigrants lived in Manhattan, but by
1910 Manhattan was overcrowded and life was very difficult. Then, in 1917, things improved, thanks to
a new train to a suburb called Queens. Immigrants moved out of the city because there was more space in
Queens, but they could still get to work in Manhattan.
These first immigrants came to New York to escape poverty and war, and to have a better life.
Today, people come for the same reasons. Manuela Garcia's family is typical. Her father, Tomas, came
from Mexico in 1986 and sold tacos from a small food stall next to Corona station. Tomas got through
hard times, saved his money and bought a bakery. Today the jukebox there plays Mexican songs and a
satellite TV shows Mexican TV programmes. 'We're proud of our culture, but the bakery is not just for
Mexicans,' says Tomas. 'We have Polish and Turkish customers, too. We all get on with each other.'
The train speeds past LaGuardia airport as the rain stops and the sun comes out. Manuela looks
out of the window and watches the planes take off. People are getting away to experience the world.
Manuela smiles. She doesn't need to go to faraway countries - the world is right there on the Number
7 train.
(Adapted from Insight)
Question 23. According to paragraph 1, what is said about the Number 7 train?
A. It is special because every station is like a different country.
B. It aims to educate immigrants about New York’s history.
C. Only a minority of New Yorkers take this train daily.
D. Train passengers can hear no more than 100 languages.
Question 24. The word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to _________.
A. languages B. immigrants C. things D. reasons
Question 25. The word “escape” in paragraph 3 is opposite in meaning to ________.
A. earn B. avoid C. improve D. face
Question 26. The phrase “got through” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. accepted B. overcame C. struggled D. experienced
Question 27. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. In 1910, immigrants in Manhattan struggled to live just because it was overpopulated.
B. Tomas maintains his Mexican culture within their bakery through music and television.
C. The first immigrants arriving in New York aimed to pursue a better life there.
D. New York is a melting pot with immigrants from different parts of the world.
Question 28. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
She doesn't need to go to faraway countries - the world is right there on the Number 7 train.
A. She can only see the world if she takes the Number 7 train to distant places.

Read the following passage about an inspiring couple and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
Amy Carter-James is small, blue-eyed and blonde, with a friendly smile. [I] She doesn't look like
she could change the lives of thousands of people but, remarkably, she has. [II] 'I spent eight months
volunteering in a very poor rural school in Kenya,' she says. [III] 'That was the first time I saw poverty, I
was so young and so easily inspired and I thought, "Why can't tourism do the same thing for community
development?" [IV]
On her return to England, twenty-two-year-old Amy and her boyfriend Neal decided to drive
across Mozambique, one of the poorest countries in Africa, but it wasn't exactly a holiday. Once there,
the couple got off the beaten track and headed for Quirimbas National Park, where they found a tiny
stretch of white sand close to a village called Guludo. Life in Guludo was hard: there was little clean water
and not enough food. Healthcare was poor and people in the village had a life expectancy of thirty-eight
years. Amy and Neal had no qualifications in tourism or healthcare but they had common sense,
enthusiasm and determination. They talked to the villagers about their plan to create a small beach resort
which would provide employment for people and lift families out of poverty.
The couple set to work on a beach lodge, building beach huts from local materials and
employing people from the surrounding area. Once the lodge was complete, they set up a charitable
foundation called NEMA, which received 5% of its revenue. This money was used to create clean water
points, fund healthcare projects, build two primary schools and support conservation projects - it helped
to enhance the lives of thousands of people.
But the highlight for many is getting to know people in the village, taking part in festivals and
learning about NEMA's work. People like Amy and Neal believe that the tourist industry can do much
good in the world and Guludo Lodge is leading the way, winning many awards for its responsible tourism.
Back in the village, people are talking about NEMA. In the local dialect, it's a word with a special meaning.
'It's difficult to explain,' says Amy, 'but it means that kind of hope that accompanies the end of suffering.'
(Adapted from Insight)
Question 31. Where in paragraph 1 does the following sentence best fit?
It all started when Amy took a gap year in Africa after she finished university.
A. [I] B. [II] C. [III] D. [IV]
Question 32. According to paragraph 1, what is NOT indicated about Amy Carter-James?
A. She was deeply affected by the poverty she witnessed.
B. Her abilities to transform lives are often doubted.
C. She believes tourism can help improve poor communities.
D. She spent time teaching in a rural school in Kenya.

Reading Oliver James' new book Affluenza, (18) ________. My 12-year-old daughter is in tears.
"I've got a test tomorrow. I don't understand any of it," she screams. After shouting and slamming her
door, she calms down enough to go through her notes. The following day I ask her how the test went and
she just says "OK. I got a nine." "Wow, that's brilliant! Well done!" I say, before she finishes with "But
I never get a ten!"
According to James, this obsession with getting top marks has been a bad development, (19)
_________. To test this idea, I asked my daughter why she was so concerned about her tests. She looked
at me as if I was thick. "Well, if I don't get good grades, I won't get into university. Then I probably won't
get a good job and if I don't have a good job, I won't be able to afford nice things like a car and stuff."
I was quite shocked, because I do not consider myself a pushy parent. But James suggests showing
any interest in grades sends the message that what is important is results and it leaves students feeling
failures even if they are very bright. He points to the Danish system of education as a better model.

Shakespeare poem or grammar rules. What I really needed to learn at school was how to make polite
conversation, or how to avoid getting into debt, or how to control my own children!
Such ideas are not really what Oliver James has in mind, though. He seems to be looking for
schools where students are encouraged to find and follow their own interests, something more like
Tongion. Tongion has been developed in some Korean private schools as an alternative to the more rigid
system of learning things by heart that is used in Korea, and indeed in many other school systems around

Read the following passage about playing truant and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
It isn't easy to stop truancy. Sometimes schools are so big that it is difficult to know who is playing
truant. Advanced technology is helping a lot. Many schools are changing their systems for recording
who is present and who is absent. In the past teachers always wrote it down, but now it's becoming more
common to use computers. In a group of private schools in Tokyo, students put out their hands for
examination every morning. A special computer looks at each student's fingers to check their fingerprints.
Prison officers use the same technique with criminals in prison. It means that teachers know exactly who
is in class and who isn't.
Schools also employ technology to tell parents. A school in Scotland uses a system from the US
called Phonemaster. It automatically telephones parents when a student is 30 minutes late for school. The
phone doesn't stop ringing until someone answers it. In other countries, like Australia, the school
automatically sends a text message to parents when their child is not at school.
In some countries, truancy is the parents' responsibility. In the UK, parents pay a fine when their
children are often absent from school for no good reason. In the US, Miami police arrested one parent,
Mindy Pearl Viera, because her teenage daughters didn't go to school more than 100 times that year.
The police in the Malaysian town of Seremban have a more 'educational' approach. When they
find a student who is in the street and not at school, they take them to the police station where there is
now a special 'reading room'. The students read books while they are waiting for their parents to come

Read the following passage about ugly species and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
Think of an endangered species. What comes to mind? The giant panda and the blue whale? And
what do these creatures all have in common? They're known as 'charismatic megafauna', in other words,
large species of animals which appeals to a lot of people. However, less well-known or 'exciting' creatures
are far more likely to actually become extinct because they don't get enough attention from researchers.
[I] The Ugly Animal Preservation Society's mascot is the blob fish, voted the world's ugliest
animal. [II] This marine creature lives deep in the ocean, where the pressure is very high. [III] As a result,
it has tiny fins and no skeleton, which keeps it from being crushed by the water pressure. [IV]
Unfortunately, when fishing boats sweep the ocean floor, looking for other fish and crustaceans, these
fish can get swept into the nets accidentally, which is causing their numbers to drop.
The California condor is another accidental victim of human activity. These huge birds with bald
heads and big beaks weigh up to fourteen kilos, have a wingspan of up to two metres and can live as long
as sixty years. They play an important role in the ecosystem by feeding on dead animals, thus preventing
the spread of disease. Reintroduced into the wild after becoming extinct, other than in captivity, they are
now under threat once more because of chemical pesticides introduced into the food chain and lead
poisoning from the ammunition used to kill the animals they feed on.
Other creatures become endangered precisely because people find them ugly. Take the aye
aye for example. Found only on the island of Madagascar, the aye aye is the world's largest nocturnal
primate. During the day they sleep in nests in the trees, coming out to hunt at night. They are solitary
creatures, furry, but strange looking, with big eyes, large ears and long, thin, pointed fingers. The middle
finger is particularly thin and they use it to gently knock on trees. Then they reach into the tree and pull
out any insects that respond to the knocking. Unfortunately, the way they look means that they are
traditionally considered an omen of bad luck. Some people even believe that if they point that thin middle
finger at someone, they will die. As a result, they are often killed, even though, like many endangered
species, they are now protected by law.

Read the following passage about tips for correct workouts and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
Exercising the right way is important for people who are worried about their health and their
appearance. If someone is not working out properly, it is rare that he or she will see the results he or she
wants. Therefore, training experts have devised tips to teach people how to exercise correctly in order to
achieve the greatest health benefits. If you want to achieve the best workout results, here are a few helpful
tips to bear in mind.
One of the most common workout mistakes is doing the same routine over and over again. This
does not challenge your muscles, and it can actually prevent muscles from growing and repairing
themselves. Instead of always sticking to the same old workout, it is important to change your routine
every six to eight weeks. It is also important to add a variety of workouts to your routine, such as
swimming, yoga, or biking, to make sure your whole body stays fit. This will help make your workouts
more interesting, and benefit your health and muscle development as well.

Another mistake people tend to make is to work out too hard, too often. Your body needs to rest
between workouts; otherwise, no progress will be made. It is best to keep the number of hard workout
routines to no more than two per week. Then, for those who don’t want to get off schedule by skipping a
day, shorter workouts of about twenty minutes can be used on other days. For more variety in workouts,
you could also plan an easier routine for forty to sixty minutes between days of shorter, more intense
workouts. Experts recommend taking at least one day off completely each week, especially after several
hard workout days in a row.
If you want to make a difference in your overall health, there are some things you can do. Stretch
before and after every workout. Do not rush your routine, and do not work out too little or too much.
Remember not to make these common workout mistakes, and always have fun while exercising!

Read the following passage about Cameron Thompson and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
Teachers first noticed Cameron Thompson's talent for numbers when he was four years old and at
pre-school. [I] Throughout primary school, Cameron Thompson's best subject was maths. [II] Then, when
he was eleven, he took a maths test prior to entering secondary school. The test was out of 140; Cameron
scored 141. [III] He is now fourteen years old and studying for a degree in maths, a remarkable
achievement bearing in mind his age. [IV]
But his academic achievements have not always been matched by social success. 'I have the social
ability of a talking potato,' he admits. In other words, he feels more at ease with numbers than among
other teenagers. 'Most people my age do despise me. I've been like this for years."
Communication is not one of Cameron's strong points and, aside from the problems this causes
socially, it is now beginning to affect his marks in mathematics. This is because, at undergraduate level,
he is expected to give reasons for his answers alongside the answers themselves. Cameron's difficulty is
that he often doesn't know how he has arrived at the answers, even though the answers are usually
correct.
Cameron and his family have recently moved house and Cameron is due to start at a new school.
He regards it as a chance to make a fresh start and make some friends. But his mother, Alison, has a few
worries concerning his lack of social skills. While she describes Cameron as 'very sensitive', she also
acknowledges that he is socially naive and often oblivious to signals from other people. Recently, a maths
professor from Cambridge University has been looking at Cameron's work. His advice to Cameron is
perhaps surprising. Professor Imre Leader thinks Cameron should slow down, stop taking maths exams,
and wait until he is eighteen before doing a degree.
Since turning fourteen, Cameron's feelings towards girls have changed. As he puts it, 'I started to
like them instead of being disgusted by them.' He's even been on a first date - without his parents. And in
general, he feels less isolated and unusual than he did before. 'There are other people like me - high maths
abilities, bad school lives - I am not alone."

Question 31. Where in paragraph 1 does the following sentence best fit?
Since then, he has continued to progress quickly.
A. [I] B. [II] C. [III] D. [IV]
Question 32. According to paragraph 1, what is NOT mentioned about Cameron Thompson?
A. He earned an impressive achievement in a maths test.
B. His gift for numbers was recognised at an early age.
C. He excelled in every subject but Maths was his strength.
D. He is pursuing a degree in Maths though he’s just 14.
Question 33. The phrase “a talking potato” in paragraph 2 mostly means a person who is ________.
A. easy to connect with B. fun to be around
C. careful about sharing D. terrible at talking to people

Read the following passage about a world without cars and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 18 to 22.
Imagine a world without cars – a world with no traffic jams, no pollution and no worries about
parking. This is the dream of Ollie Mikosza, the inventor of PRT, the Personal Rapid Transit system.
According to Mikosza, PRT will revolutionise the way we travel in cities. PRT is a system of individual
vehicles (18) _________.
The podcars, as they are called, are self-driving. Controlled by a computer, (19) ________, with
the computer calculating the fastest and most direct route while avoiding any possible collisions along the
way. PRT has all the benefits of a car and none of the inconveniences of public transport. The podcars are
designed to carry only two or three passengers so you don’t have to share with strangers. Passengers can
relax, read, watch television or simply enjoy the views as they travel.
It may sound futuristic, but versions of PRT (20) ________. The oldest and most extensive system
is in Morgantown in the US. Greenville County Economic Development in the US is meeting later in the
year to decide whether or not to go ahead with plans to build a system there. It will cost about $50 million,
but the CED believes that it will succeed in reducing traffic problems where other systems have failed.
This will have obvious benefits for the environment. The podcars are powered by electricity so
there is no pollution from exhaust fumes and the vehicles are virtually silent so there is no noise pollution
either. (21) ________. One of the main drawbacks of the system, critics say, is that the metal structures
used to carry the podcars are unattractive.
However, Mikosza isn’t going to give up on his dream. He plans to build tunnels for vehicles to
travel through in areas of beauty or with particular historic interest, although these tunnels will make the
system more expensive to build. (22) ________.

Read the following passage about digital natives and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
Yesim and Min-ho are members of Generation Z. They are sometimes called "digital natives"
because they have grown up with the Internet, mobile phones, and social media since they were children.
In fact, many have never seen a VCR or a telephone with a dial.
Their parents spent most of their teenage years listening to cassette players, watching VHS tapes,
playing early video games, and calling friends on their families’ telephones. Generation Z, however, is
connected to its music, videos, games, and friends online all day, every day. Recent surveys show that
young people in Asia spend an average of 9.5 hours per day online. And marketing companies know this.
Every time they open their page on a social networking site, Gen-Z members don’t see only
friends’ updates and photos. They also see ads for products they might want to buy. Marketing companies
work with social media sites to find out where their customers live, what movies, books, and music they
like, and who their friends are. The companies use this information to show their customers the
advertisements they want them to see.
What does this generation think about marketing companies knowing so much about them? Are
they worried about losing their privacy? Not many seem to be very worried about companies knowing
how to sell things to them. Many Gen-Z members are more concerned about keeping their private
information from their parents. However, this may not be the only challenge. Many people are now

finding out that posting funny pictures on the Web can be a problem when they finish school and start

Read the following passage about telecommuting and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
For many adults, a typical work day might be as follows: The alarm goes off at 6:00 a.m. [I] You
dress yourself in expensive work clothes, gobble down breakfast, and start off on your long and stressful
commute to the office. [II] You spend your day at your desk, attempting to complete your tasks amid co-
worker chit chat and office politics. [III] You have just enough time for a few hours of relaxation before
you have to get up and repeat the process all over again the next day. [IV] For these people, telecommuting
might be seen as the answer to the daily stress and frustration of office jobs.
Telecommuting, also known as teleworking or working from home, is a term that refers to the use
of telecommunication to work away from the company’s office, most often at a home office. Few people
telecommute full-time, but a growing number of companies are allowing their employees to work from
home at least part of the time.
Employers have come to grips with this growing demand to work from home with both
acceptance and resistance. On the one hand, employers understand that offering telecommuting
opportunities is a way to cut costs. In addition, offering telecommuting opportunities reduces absenteeism,
increases productivity, and improves employee retention. Workers are happier and less stressed.
Therefore, they work harder and are more loyal to their employers.
On the other hand, employers are aware of the fact that telecommuting poses some risks. First of
all, allowing confidential company information to leave the office can bring about privacy and security
concerns. In addition, telecommuters are not properly trained in protecting company data. Another risk
has to do with the work style of the telecommuter. A successful telecommuter has to be independent,
self-motivated, and disciplined.
Experts predict that telecommuting will become a standard in the corporate world, as workers
continue to demand it. The trend towards telecommuting is clear, but the long-term effects on corporate
culture and the individual worker are still unknown.
(Adapted from Reading for the Real World)
Question 31. Where in paragraph 1 does the following sentence best fit?
Then, you make your way home through the commuter crowds.
A. [I] B. [II] C. [III] D. [IV]
Question 32. Which of the following activities is NOT described as part of a typical work day for many
adults?
A. Experiencing a long and stressful commute to work
B. Making efforts to complete tasks amid distractions
C. Getting up early and dressing in expensive work attire
D. Spending much time recharging after work
Question 33. Which of the following best summarises paragraph 2?
A. Telecommuting is the practice of working from home full-time, with many employees now choosing
this option over office work.
B. Telecommuting, also called teleworking, mainly involves part-time work at an office, although a few
people also work from home.
C. Telecommuting refers to using telecommunication for work and is often limited to home offices rather
than traditional workplaces.
D. Telecommuting allows employees to work remotely, and while few do so full-time, part-time
telecommuting is becoming more common.

A. unfamiliar B. unofficial C. lacking D. public
Question 37. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A successful telecommuter has to be independent, self-motivated, and disciplined.
A. Only if an individual is self-motivated, disciplined, and independent can they achieve success as a
telecommuter.
B. Telecommuters who lack motivation or independence will not be able to achieve success as disciplined
employees.
C. Discipline, independence, and self-motivation are among the traits that a telecommuter has to have to
be successful.
D. Were a telecommuter self-motivated and independent, their success as a self-disciplined employee
could be achieved.
Question 38. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

and improves retention, but causes privacy concerns, with unclear effects on corporate productivity and
company culture.

security risks and training needs for workers, with its long-term impact on individual employees should
be fully comprehended for optimal results.
D. Telecommuting is a rising trend that increases productivity and flexibility for workers, but companies
remain hesitant due to privacy concerns and worker motivation, though experts predict its domination in
the corporate culture soon.

option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 18 to 22.
Modern electronic devices might look clean on the outside, but inside they contain a lot of
materials used in manufacture which may be dangerous to human health. Most of these substances can be
removed safely, but a lot of investment in waste-handling equipment is needed to do so. Many countries
have refused to make the investment and instead simply shipped their e-waste abroad, usually to
developing nations. There, instead of being properly processed, (18) ________.
So what can we do about it? The first thing to do is recognise the problem. The electronics
revolution of the past 30 years (19) _________, with its chimneys pouring out very obvious dirt.
Compared with that, it has seemed clean and green. But we have gradually come to realise that in two
ways in particular, modern hi-tech can be bad for the planet too.
The first is its energy use; the worldwide scale of information technology is so enormous that
electronics now produce fully two per cent of global carbon emissions, (20) ________. The other is the
hardware, when it comes to the end of its natural life. This, increasingly, is pretty short.
(21) _________. In other words, making it the duty of manufacturers of electronic goods to ensure
their safe disposal at the end of their lives. In practice, an EU regulation now means that electronics dealers
must either take back the equipment they sold you, or help to finance a network of drop-off points, such
as council recycling sites.
The new UN report suggests that all countries should start to establish proper e-waste management
networks. They could also do something about the problem with a change in design. (22) _________,
groups such as Greenpeace have had some success in pushing them to develop non-poisonous alternatives.
This may be the real way forward.

Read the following passage about Battlefront campaigners and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
New technology is making it easier than ever for young people to take up campaigning. One
campaigner working with Battlefront is Aimee Nathan, 17, from London, who will soon have been
campaigning for six months. Aimee is trying to stop people from using disposable coffee cups. These are
non-recyclable due to their plastic covering, so they end up in landfill sites.
Aimee worked out that if just 1,000 people bring their own mugs with them when they buy coffee,
by the end of a year, one coffee shop will have saved 5.5 tonnes of waste and 125 trees. Highlights of her
campaign included appearing on TV and getting a crowd of people, including a famous model, to take
their own mugs to a coffee shop. Aimee's Facebook page played a big part in publicising the event.
Another Battlefront campaigner, Manpreet Darroch, 19, from Birmingham, became conscious of
the importance of road safety when several people he knew were killed or injured in road accidents. He
was shocked to discover that traffic accidents are the biggest cause of death for 15-19-year-olds
worldwide: about 7,000 people under 25 will have lost their lives on the road by the end of next week.
Manpreet decided to focus his campaign on the danger of crossing the street while listening to an
MP3 player. He has used Twitter in his campaign, spoken at political meetings and made a video for the
Battlefront website. He is now hoping to work with musicians to make his message go viral!

Read the following passage about Teenspeak and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
A generation of teenagers who communicate via the Internet and by text messages are risking
unemployment because their daily vocabulary consists of just 800 words, experts have warned. According
to recent surveys, they know an average of 40,000 words, but they favour a 'teenspeak' used in text
messages, social networking sites and Internet chat rooms. Communication expert Jean Gross thinks that
the lack of range will affect their chances of getting a job. Miss Gross is planning a nationwide campaign
to ensure children use their full language potential.
She wants to make sure that teenagers do not fail in the classroom and later, in the workplace,
because they are inarticulate. [I] ‘Teenagers are spending more time communicating through electronic
media and text messaging, which is short and brief, she says. ‘We need to help them understand the
difference between their textspeak and the formal language they need to succeed in life - 800 words will
not get you a job.’ [II] She plans to send children with video cameras into workplaces to observe the range
of words used by professionals and share their findings with classmates. [III] She also wants parents to
limit the amount of TV that children watch, replacing it with conversation. [IV]

Her concern was raised, she said, by research conducted by Tony McEnery, a professor of
linguistics, who examined 10 million words of transcribed speech and 100,000 words from teenagers'
blogs. He found that teens use their top 20 words in a third of their speech, and also discovered words
likely to be unknown to adults, including 'chenzed, which means tired, 'spong' (silly), and 'lol', the
shorthand version of 'laugh out loud'.
John Bald, a language teaching consultant, said the poor use of language was a rebellious act.
'There is undoubtedly a culture among teenagers of deliberately stripping away language, he said. 'When
kids are in social situations, the instinct is to simplify. It's part of a wider anti-school culture that exists
among some children which parents and schools need to address. But David Crystal, honorary
professor of linguistics at Bangor University, argues that experts did not understand the complexities of
teen language. 'The real issue here is that people object to kids having a good vocabulary for hip-hop and
not for politics, he said. 'They have an articulate vocabulary for the kind of things they want to talk about.
Academics don't get anywhere near measuring that vocabulary!’

Question 35. Which of the following best summarises paragraph 3?
A. Tony McEnery’s study found that teenagers prefer using slang words, all of which are not able to be
understood by the older generation.
B. Research by Tony McEnery showed that teenagers use a very limited set of words and invent slang
terms unfamiliar to adults.
C. Tony McEnery’s research found that teenagers use a small number of common words in their speech
and create exciting expressions.
D. According to Tony McEnery, teenagers' speech shows a strong reliance on common words, with few
slang expressions.

C. Tony McEnery was taken aback to discover some unusual slang words invented by teenagers.
D. David Crystal is at loggerheads with others on the understanding and assessment of teenagers' language
abilities.
Question 39. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. The long-term impact of text messages on teen language has yet to be comprehended.
B. The anti-school culture is seen as a normal aspect of teenagers' development.
C. Society tend to undervalue linguistic skills outside conventional or formal standards.
D. Teens should be exposed to formal language daily so that they can talk properly.
Question 40. Which of the following best summarises the passage?

futures, prompting Jean Gross to plan a campaign, though this concern is disputed by David Crystal, who
sees their language as contextually rich.

digital communication, raising concerns about employability and prompting Jean Gross's nationwide
campaign for richer language use in schools and homes.
D. Driven by fears that teenagers' 'teenspeak' will impede their success, Jean Gross cited Tony McEnery’s
research as part of her concern, but David Crystal, who highlights the complexity and context-specific
nature of their vocabulary, challenged it.

Read the following passage about the sound of silence and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
The days of people shouting into mobile phones on buses could soon be a thing of the past with
‘silent sounds’, a new technology that transforms lip movements into a computer-generated voice for the
listener at the other end of the phone. The device, developed by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology
(KIT), uses ‘electromyography’. This process monitors tiny muscular movements that happen when we
speak and converts them into electrical signals that can then be turned into speech, without a sound
uttered.
Michael Wand, a scientist at KIT, says this technology, which they have worked many years to
develop, opens up a whole range of applications, from helping people who have lost their voice due to
illness or accident, to being able to share confidential information – as long as there are no lip-readers
around, of course.
Furthermore, as the electrical signals are universal, they can be immediately transformed into the
language of the phone user’s choice. You can silently utter a sentence in your own language, and the
listener can hear the sentence translated into another language. It appears as if you have spoken in a foreign
language. This works effectively for languages like English, French and German, but it fails to function
properly for languages like Chinese, where different tones can hold different meanings.
The engineers have got the device working to 99 per cent efficiency, so the mechanical voice at
the other end of the phone gets one word in 100 wrong, explained Michael Wand. ‘But we’re working to
overcome the remaining technical difficulties. In five, maybe ten years, this will be useable, everyday
technology,’ he said.
(Adapted from Gateway)
Question 23. The word “them” in paragraph 1 refers to _______.
A. lip movements B. muscular movements
C. electrical signals D. silent sounds
Question 24. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the ‘silent sounds’ technology?
A. It can turn muscle signals into electrical signals.
B. It was created by KIT.
C. It reduces background noise during calls.
D. It uses electromyography to detect movements.
Question 25. The word “utter” in paragraph 3 can be best replaced by ________.
A. create B. say C. cause D. mind
Question 26. The word “overcome” in paragraph 4 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ________.
A. ignore B. handle C. limit D. prefer
Question 27. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
In five, maybe ten years, this will be useable, everyday technology.
A. Possibly in five years, but surely by ten, this will be common technology.
B. This technology will certainly be usable every day within the next five to ten years.
C. It will probably take five to ten years for this technology to be used.
D. It's expected that in either five or ten years, this will be used every day.

Read the following passage about living without technology and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
Are you addicted to technology? You probably think you aren't, but just take a minute to look more
closely at your daily life. [I] Your mobile phone alarm wakes you up, and the first thing you do is check
if you have any new email messages, maybe even check the weather forecast so you can decide what to
put on. [II] On the way to college, you pop in your MP3 player earbuds and listen to some music you
downloaded the previous night. [III] Some students are using tablets to take notes. [IV] Are you still so
sure you could let go of technology?
Increasing numbers of people, however, are taking the decision to go technology-free. This
involves making a concerted effort to remove all technological devices from their lives. Take Laura Jo
Wegman and Donovan Corliss. Not only have they gotten rid of the obvious technology, such as
computers and TVs, but they have also modified their cooker to remove the LED display and have a rotary
dial telephone. The family now play musical instruments, make bread and even talk to each other! They
say it's revolutionised their lives.
And this family isn't alone. The 'unplugging' movement is growing fast. Not everyone takes it as
seriously as Wegman and Corliss, but more and more people are adopting new approaches to
technology. For example, Tiffany Shlain pioneered the idea of having a technology-free day once a week,
usually on a Saturday. Shlain says ‘It's definitely harder to make plans,’ as, instead of sending lots of
texts, she needs to make an arrangement and stick to it. And as Shlain points out, the quality of interaction
with people who aren't constantly checking their mobiles is much better.
Another popular activity is to take a digital detox retreat, a long weekend hiking out in the
countryside with no gadgets. It allows you to develop the skill of finding your way without Google Maps
and seeing the beauty of nature without having to take a digital photograph of it. So why not try reverting
back to a tech-free world, even if just for a while? And, if you can't even imagine kicking the habit, ask
yourself if you really aren't addicted.
(Adapted from Insight)

Once at college, your teacher is using an interactive whiteboard.
A. [I] B. [II] C. [III] D. [IV]
Question 32. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 1 as a feature of a technology-
dependent lifestyle?
A. Listening to music on an MP3 player B. Using tablets for note-taking
C. Checking the weather forecast on TV D. Using a mobile phone to check emails

(21) ________, Blackmore struggled to adapt. For this easygoing Australian, Americans seemed
like perpetual-motion machines. “Americans are very time-oriented,” Blackmore says. “Everything is

Read the following passage about an effort to save Latin and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
A retired Finnish university professor called Tuomo Pekkanen started the radio programme where
his wife, Virpi, reads the news every day on the national radio station ... in Latin. The title of the
programme is Nuntii Latini and it gives information about five or six short news items before the main
news is read in Finnish. Professor Pekkanen started this in 1989 because he believes that understanding
Latin is an important part of everyone's education. There are only one or two programmes like this in the
world, but the Internet is making them available to lots and lots of people around the world. Thousands
and thousands of people listen online and the programme receives a lot of letters from people in about 50
countries.
When he is making his news programme, there are sometimes words which are tough for Pekkanen
to translate because, as you probably know, the Romans didn’t have any modern technology like
television, computers, emails or lasers. But Pekkanen says that he can talk about many stories on the news
by inventing a few new Latin words if necessary.
But Professor Pekkanen doesn’t just translate the news into Latin. He also translates the words for
songs. And he isn’t the only one. Dr Jukka Ammondt, another former university professor, loves Latin,
too and he loves the king of rock and roll, Elvis Presley. So what does he do? He sings Elvis in Latin!
There is an important tradition of studying Latin in Finland. There was a Latin congress there
recently and people had no issue talking in Latin. Nowadays, English is the language which people all
over the world use to communicate. But before English it was Latin. Tuomo Pekkanen believes that
around 15 million people in Europe speak or understand Latin today. That’s not bad for a ‘dead’ language.

Read the following passage about the Social Experiment and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
As part of a project called ‘The Social Experiment’, more than 600 students at Shoreline High
School gave up texting, email, and networking sites for a week free of social media. [I] Under the rules,
students could call each other on their phones, which many of them had never done before the experiment
began. [II] The idea started with Trent Mitchell, a video-production teacher at the school. He wondered
whether his students, who often walked into class heads down, typing away on their phones, could cut
themselves off from social media. [III] Mitchell thought his students wouldn't be able to tear themselves
away. [IV]
Mitchell and a colleague from another school, Marty Ballew, created The Social Experiment. The
theme was 'What was life like in 1995?' Students documented the process through video interviews with
students and staff, some of whom also volunteered to cut themselves off. Some students went to extremes
to make sure they didn’t break the rules. Five students even handed over their cell phones to Ballew. One
girl gave him her Facebook password and asked him to change it for the week to help her avoid
temptation.
Last year, El ZeinIt was sending or receiving 200 texts per day, or about 6,000 per month. It was
too much for her parents, who confiscated her phone for a week. This year, she said, she has averaged 20
to 50 a day, until the experiment week, that is. It was 'weird' not checking her email, texts and social
network sites as soon as she woke. But each day got easier. Cole Sweeten found it tough. He deleted texts
as they came in, but found it hard to remember not to answer text messages. On the second day, he
heard the familiar buzz and grabbed his phone, ready to hit the button to read the new text message, when
he remembered. 'No!' he shouted, and dropped the phone to the floor.
Ed Wytovicz did chores during his free time, an idea that sounds like it came from his parents, but
he claims he wanted to do it. He also figured out that activities such as practising basketball are better
distractions than ones that take 10 or 15 minutes. ‘You had to do something that filled time in large
segments,’ he says.
(Adapted from Gateway)
Question 31. Where in paragraph 1 does the following sentence best fit?
When he asked them, half the students said they could do it; the other half thought it was the worst
idea they'd ever heard.
A. [I] B. [II] C. [III] D. [IV]
Question 32. The phrase “tear themselves away” in paragraph 1 is OPPOSITE in meaning to _______.
A. struggle to give up B. lose interest in C. feel ready to leave D. stay glued to
Question 33. According to paragraph 1, which of the following is NOT mentioned about ‘The Social
Experiment’?
A. Students avoided popular online communication tools.
B. The teacher doubted the students' ability to stay offline.
C. Many students were new to making phone calls.
D. It involved acquainting students with unfamiliar routines.

Read the following passage about Fat America and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 18 to 22.
America is getting fatter. Back in the 1970s, only 10% of teens were overweight, but today, one in
three teenagers (or more than 25 million) are overweight or obese. Let’s take a look at the reasons why.
In the suburbs, houses are bigger, gardens are bigger, and teenagers are bigger, too. It’s easy to see
why – they go everywhere in cars. Suburbs are a long way from shopping centres, schools and friends’
houses. (18) ________. As a result, families spend an average of two hours a day in their cars.
A typical American family has three TVs and the average teenager, or ‘screenager’, (19)
________. By the time they leave High School, most teenagers will have spent more time in front of a
TV than in the classroom. But it’s not just TV (20) ________. The average US home has 24 electronic
gadgets, including smartphones, computers and games consoles. It’s not surprising that only 12.2% of
American teenagers actually exercise each week.
Fast food is one of America’s great success stories and Americans have been eating hamburgers
for decades. Today, 50% of meals are eaten outside the home and more than three quarters of American
teenagers eat at a fast food meal at least once a week. (21) ________. Why? Probably because the salt, fat
and sugar makes it taste really good.
So what does the future hold for America? Doctors fear an epidemic of illnesses like diabetes,
heart disease and cancer. But health centres for obese children are starting to make a difference. At the
centres are children like 12-year-old Conchita. Conchita’s tired today because she’s been exercising. ‘It’s
hard work, but I’m feeling good,’ she says. ‘How many times has she exercised this week?’ ‘Three,’ she
replies, ‘and I’ve given up fast food, too.’ ‘Wanting long lives and hoping to achieve many goals, (22)
________.’ explains a doctor at the centre.

Read the following passage about Nick Vujicic and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
Before Nick Vujicic was born, his parents had no idea that he would go on to have any medical
problems – none of the medical checks had ever shown a problem. However, when he was born, it was
clear that his life would be different from that of other babies. Growing up would not be easy. His parents
decided to send him to a normal school, where he would use a wheelchair, and where there were carers
available to assist him.
The experience was difficult, but Nick feels it was the best decision his parents could have made,
because it would give him a sense of independence. Unsurprisingly, when he was at school, he sometimes
felt depressed and lonely, and was sometimes bullied. But he always had the support of his loyal friends
and family, and these people made him determined to overcome many problems. He even went on to
study at university, where he was awarded a degree in Financial Planning and Real Estate.
What surprises many people is just how optimistic Nick can be, and how many different things he
has managed to do. Much of this is down to his parents. His father put him in the water for the first time
when he was 18 months, so that Nick would be self-confident enough to swim when he was older. He has
one small foot which he can use to help him move around in the water. He is able to operate a computer
by using the toe on this foot to type, something he learned to do when he was just six years old. And when
he plays golf – yes, he even plays golf – he is able to hold the golf club under his chin.

Read the following passage about stealth marketing and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
Imagine this: on your way home, a ‘tourist’ in the street asks you to take a photo with their camera.
[I] You do and, afterwards, they tell you how they bought the camera recently and how it’s on special
offer. [II] Welcome to the world of stealth marketing. [III] You may say you haven’t met a stealth
marketer yet, but that’s the point. [IV] The chances are that you have.
Stealth or ‘word of mouth’ marketing isn’t like normal advertising. We can recognise adverts on
billboards or in glossy magazines, but it’s difficult to spot stealth marketing – it just tricks us. More than
$500 billion a year is spent on advertising worldwide, but compared with conventional advertising
campaigns, stealth marketing is cheap and effective. So how does it work? Well, let’s look at company
X. Company X wants to launch a new product for teens. They need their product to look ‘cool’ and
interesting, so they decide to pay young people to talk about it. Seventeen-year-old Tanya Fulham is one
of them.
Tanya Fulham is beautiful, sporty and clever. She’s interested in fashion, loves shopping, and
listens to the latest pop music. She has more than 150 friends on her social media page and she often
influences their choices and opinions. She’s the latest recruit of an undercover marketing agency. People
like Tanya promote brands in blogs and on social media websites. ‘It’s great getting free samples of cool,
new products that my friends haven’t heard about,’ adds Tanya. ‘It makes me feel important because I
have insider knowledge.’ But do her friends know that she is paid to promote them? ‘No, they don’t,’
she admits. ‘But I don’t think it’s dishonest. If I find something I like, I talk about it. It doesn’t make any
difference whether I’m paid or not.’
Perhaps Tanya is right. Lots of people tell others about the new book they’re reading, a new place
they’ve discovered or a cool gadget they’ve just bought. We’re also a 24/7 generation and see more than
3,000 ads a day, so what difference does it make? However, other people are worried. ‘You think a person
is being helpful,’ says retail psychologist David Green, ‘but that’s very different from someone telling us
something because they are getting paid for it. We don’t know who to trust or who to listen to anymore.’
We have already met the stealth marketers and they are just like us.

surpasses $500 billion, unlike conventional advertising campaigns.
B. Were traditional campaigns more affordable and effective than stealth marketing, companies wouldn’t
be spending over $500 billion a year on advertising worldwide.

advertise more effectively than traditional campaigns like magazines or billboards.

Read the following passage about car-free cities and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
Since 2014, Milan has had a really interesting system: for every day that residents leave their car
at home, they get a voucher for the value of a ticket on the train or bus! And in Copenhagen, around half
of all workers commute by bike on a huge, safe network of bike lanes. Perhaps London should try to do
the same. Traffic there moves more slowly than the average bike rider, but the streets are far more
dangerous on two wheels!
In some countries, town planners working on new towns and cities are trying to reduce the use of
cars to a bare minimum before they’ve even been built. For example, one new town in China, with a
planned population of 80,000, is being designed so that all its stores, entertainment venues, work places,
etc. are within a fifteen-minute walk from where residents live. And there’ll be fast public transportation
connections to the nearest big city of Chengdu.
In Helsinki, local authorities are using phone apps to reduce car numbers. The city has several
schemes for people to share the use of bikes and cars. The app enables anyone to quickly find the nearest
shared bike, car, or taxi, or tells them the best and fastest bus or train route. Planners there hope that
within ten years no one will need to drive in the city at all.
Sadly, not all cities are encouraging car-free trips. It’s true that 60% of people living in Paris don’t
own a car, but many U.S. towns and cities are designed specifically for the use of cars. And there aren’t
any alternatives yet. And in car-loving Sydney, things seem to be going backwards. There are plans to get
rid of pedestrian space to make room for even more cars!
(Adapted from Personal Best)

Read the following passage about not attending college and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
Wagner Iworrigan, a seventeen-year-old high school senior on St. Lawrence Island in Alaska,
knows a lot about biology, meteorology and maths. [I] Wagner might make a good scientist, but he’s not
planning on going to college. [II] He feels a responsibility for his siblings - his mother died and his father
lives in another village - and college is ‘so far from home’. [III] He’s also at a loss about what he would
do with a degree. [IV]
Many St. Lawrence students say they want to go to college but half of them drop out of high school,
and only two per cent graduate from college. The benefits of a degree are not obvious for people living
on this remote island. Families have a subsistence lifestyle, hunting walruses, seals and whales in the
spring, and gathering berries in the summer. The largest employer is the school system; otherwise, there
are only a handful of jobs in fishing, oil and the airlines that connect the island to the mainland. There
isn’t much demand for anything else and more than a quarter of adults are unemployed.
Many people feel that the educational programmes are too stifling, not allowing students to go
beyond the curriculum, with little connection to the real world. ‘We want our children to achieve
academically, but we need to be able to design programmes that deal with the challenges they face day-
to-day,’ said one teacher. Those challenges are profound with no easy solutions. Families also worry that
sending children away to study in Higher Education could endanger the language and culture. Already,
the younger generation is losing its fluency and grasp of skills like sewing, walrus-ivory carving and fish-
cutting. Respect for the old ways and knowledge of traditions are disappearing. Can the community send
more students to university without sacrificing its desire to preserve Native culture and language?
Unsurprisingly, locals are protective of their independence and their heritage. They recognise the
value of ‘education’, but feel that the definition is too narrow. ‘I think about when my grandmother taught
me to cut fish, remembers one resident. ‘It wasn't do it once and I'll give you a grade. It was hours of
practice until you get it right …’

On a recent unseasonably warm day last autumn, he missed class to join his uncle on their boat.
A. [I] B. [II] C. [III] D. [IV]
Question 32. The phrase “at a loss” in paragraph 1 is CLOSEST in meaning to ________.
A. reluctant B. indecisive C. uncertain D. reserved
Question 33. What is NOT indicated about Wagner Iworrigan in paragraph 1?
A. He puts family responsibilities ahead of education.
B. He stays close to home to care for his younger siblings.
C. He has strong knowledge in scientific subjects.
D. He intends to become a scientist after graduation.

Read the following passage about nature and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
How do you feel about nature? After spending hours indoors, do you often feel like going outside
for a walk? Or if you work for hours at your office desk, do you feel better when you take a break and
visit your local park? Most people think that nature is good for us; it’s good for our bodies and good for
our brains. However, humans are spending more time inside and less time outside. For example, the
number of visitors to Canada’s national parks is getting lower every year. And in countries such as the
USA, only 10% of teenagers spend time outside every day. Many doctors feel that this is a problem in the
twenty-first century and that it is worsening our physical health.
As a result, some doctors are studying the connection between nature and health: one example of
this is the work of Dr Matilda van den Bosch in Sweden. The doctor gave people a maths test. During the
test, their heart rate was faster. After the test, one group of people sat in a 3d virtual reality room for fifteen
minutes with pictures and sounds of nature. Their heart rates were slower than people’s in the other group.
The virtual contact with nature helped them feel more relaxed. Another good example of how
nature is good for health comes from Canada. In Toronto, researchers studied 31,000 people living in
cities. Overall, they found that healthier people lived near parks.
Because of studies like these, some countries and cities want nature to be part of people’s
everyday life. In Dubai, for example, there are plans for a new shopping mall with a large garden so
shoppers can relax outside with trees, plants and water. In some countries such as Switzerland, ‘forest
schools’ are popular; schoolchildren study their subjects in the forests and do lots of exercise outside. And
South Korea is another good example: it has new forests near its cities and around 13 million people visit
these forests every year. So after building cities for so long, perhaps it’s now time to start rebuilding
nature.
(Adapted from Life)
Question 23. The word “worsening” in paragraph 1 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ________.
A. delaying B. enhancing C. updating D. preventing
Question 24. The word “relaxed” in paragraph 3 can be best replaced by ________.
A. generous B. busy C. interested D. comfortable
Question 25. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a place where efforts are being
made to include nature in people's daily lives?
A. South Korea B. Switzerland C. the USA D. Dubai
Question 26. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
Because of studies like these, some countries and cities want nature to be part of people’s everyday
life.
A. Due to research of this kind, several places are considering how nature has shaped people’s everyday
habits.
B. Studies like these show that nature already plays a central role in daily life in many cities and countries.
C. As a result of studies like these, some places are trying to blend nature into people’s daily routines.
D. Influenced by these studies, some places believe nature should occasionally be part of people’s
lifestyles.
Question 27. The word “its” in paragraph 4 refers to _______.
A. Switzerland B. example C. nature D. South Korea

Read the following passage about everyday heroes and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
We all have people we look up to or admire: our heroes. They might include famous people from
the worlds of sport and entertainment who we see as role models. [I] We might also admire the
achievements of great leaders or figures from history. [II] But what about people who aren't well-known?
Can they be considered to be heroes? [III] And what kind of person truly fits the bill as a hero or heroine?
[IV]
One way to think about what we value in our heroes is to look at the people we give awards to.
For instance, in Britain, the state awards honours to people twice each year. A list is announced of people
from all walks of life, ranging from politicians to lollipop ladies. You might expect that public figures
like MPs would appear on the Honours List, and indeed they do. It's a little more surprising, perhaps, to
see charity workers and volunteers also being honoured.
One example of an everyday hero honoured recently is Gbolahan Bright, a volunteer maths teacher.
He and his wife were originally from Nigeria. By the end of this year, they will have been living in Britain
for over 25 years. During that time, Gbolahan has been running the Bright Academy maths club, offering
free maths for underprivileged primary school pupils who struggle with the subject. He recently received
an award for services to education.
Another is Maria Hanson, who recently received an award for her charity work. Since 2006, she
has run a charity which enables seriously ill people and their families to have a holiday. Her charity
provides accommodation in caravans by the sea so that families can spend time together and create lasting
memories. In poor health herself, by the time she retires, she will have helped well over a thousand
families.
Maria and Gbolahan are typical of the kind of ordinary person that the honours system aims to
celebrate. They are people who give their time and energy to their community and to those less fortunate
than themselves. They truly are everyday heroes.
(Adapted from Optimise)
Question 31. Where in paragraph 1 does the following sentence best fit?
We think of them as special people, different from ourselves.
A. [I] B. [II] C. [III] D. [IV]
Question 32. The phrase “fits the bill” in paragraph 1 can be best replaced by ________.
A. pay off B. are necessary C. take off D. are suitable

D. Honoured for services to education, Nigerian Gbolahan Bright has been a volunteer maths teacher in
Britain for 25 years, running a free club for students from all walks of life.

A. advantageous B. disadvantaged C. wealthy D. healthy
Question 37. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
In poor health herself, by the time she retires, she will have helped well over a thousand families.
A. Were she in good health, she might not have been able to help as many as a thousand families before
retiring.
B. Not only has she helped hundreds of families, but her poor health will likely cause her to retire earlier
than expected.
C. Despite her own health issues, she will have supported more than a thousand families by the time she
retires.
D. Even though she will retire, her fragile health has allowed her to help well over a thousand families by
that time.
Question 38. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Maria Hanson has shown selfless dedication to supporting families facing serious illness.
B. It's not surprising to see MPs on the Honours List, as their roles are often in the public eye.
C. We always consider a person a true hero just because they are well-known and talented.
D. Gbolahan Bright received an award in recognition of his great contribution to education.
Question 39. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Heroism is not an idea that is limited to extraordinary feats or widespread fame.
B. The honours system prioritises recognising contributions made by everyday heroes.
C. Ordinary heroes like Maria and Gbolahan contribute more the community than public figures.
D. Gbolahan shows a greater level of commitment than Maria in helping those in need.

Read the following passage about homeschooling and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
Abigail, 13, and her brother Ethan, 15, have just got up. They’re feeding their horses. After
breakfast they’ll go bird-watching. They’ll then write down their observations in their journals and spend
the rest of the morning reading the books they’ve selected this month: Macbeth (Abigail) and Catch 22
(Ethan). After lunch, Abigail is going to work on her painting of Lady Macbeth and Ethan will carry on
designing a new website for their riding club.
Abigail and Ethan aren’t on holiday. They belong to the steadily growing group of children and
teenagers who are being educated at home, or homeschooled. Their mother recalls how their family made
the decision not to send the children to school: "After checking out the schools in our area, my husband
and I became convinced that we were capable of teaching Abby and Ethan better than any of them. We
believed that with an individual approach, our children would have a chance to excel at their best subjects
and receive enough help in the weaker areas. Once we tried, we discovered it was even better than we’d
expected. It’s thrilling to be able to witness and guide your child’s development."

Read the following passage about living small and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
[I] Could you live in a home that is only thirty-seven square metres in size? [II] That is the size of
a so-called 'tiny home', which has become a big craze in some parts of the world, giving rise to a new
social trend: the 'tiny house movement'. [III] Living small requires careful planning and creativity and
who better to turn to for inspiration than the Japanese, the masters in the art of saving space. [IV]
Is there a benefit to sharing smaller spaces with a number of people? Simon Okelo believes so.
Brought up in a crowded slum in Kenya, he shared a house with twenty-four others and people would
often just cram into one room. He often slept in a storeroom next to the living room because it was cool
and airy. Now Simon has settled down in Seattle with his wife and two children, in a three-bedroom house,
with a kitchen, living room, study and playroom. But while he appreciates the space, he misses the sense
of community and being close to others.
Professor Ellen Pader from the University of Massachusetts, who has published research on the
impact of space on relationships, believes a major benefit of sharing space with others is that you learn
respect for other people, and you also learn to negotiate with people, instead of just withdrawing when
things get difficult.
Is it possible that living in larger, spacious environments can actually be harmful? Environmental
psychologist Dak Kopec, of the University of Las Vegas, has concerns about the number of vast mansions
being built in the area, which have parental suites on one side of the house and children's suites on the
other. He fears that such arrangements could limit social interaction between parents and children. He
also points out that there isn't a need for children to go outside because they have everything they need at
home.
So why is living space important? We need to get the right balance of having enough of it to
allow some privacy, but not so much that we no longer interact with others. Whilst everyone needs
some personal space, shared areas may be equally important.
(Adapted from High Note)
Question 31. Where in paragraph 1 does the following sentence best fit?
In densely populated cities like Tokyo, many people live in apartments smaller than ten square
metres.
A. [I] B. [II] C. [III] D. [IV]
Question 32. Which is NOT true about living small in paragraph 1?
A. It is especially common among Japanese families.
B. It has led to a lifestyle trend called the tiny house movement.
C. It involves organising space with creativity and thoughtful design.
D. It has gained in popularity in certain parts of the world.
Question 33. Which of the following best summarises paragraph 2?
A. Growing up in a crowded house in Kenya, Simon Okelo now lives in Seattle and enjoys having a large
three-bedroom house.
B. Despite having ample space in his Seattle home, Simon Okelo, who lived in a crowded Kenyan slum,
longs for a greater sense of community.
C. Simon Okelo, who once shared a small Kenyan house with many, now lives comfortably in Seattle but
prefers his childhood community.
D. Simon Okelo, raised in a crowded Kenyan slum, now enjoys a spacious Seattle home but misses the
close community he once experienced.
