There are already many, many people who have passed the landmark age of 100. In fact, there are now so many
healthy, elderly people that there’s a name for them: the wellderly. These are people over the age of eighty who have no
major illnesses, such as high blood pressure, heart disease or diabetes.
There are many scientific studies of communities where healthy old age is typical. These include places like
Calabria in southern Italy and the island of Okinawa in Japan. In Calabria, the small village of Molochio has about 2,000
inhabitants. And of these, there are at least eight people over a hundred years old. When researchers ask people like this
the secret of their long life, the answer is almost always about food and is almost always the same: ‘I eat a lot of fruit and
vegetables.’ ‘I eat a little bit of everything.’ ‘I neither smoke nor drink.’
In the past, scientists looked at things such as diet and lifestyle for an explanation of long life, but these
days they are also looking at genetics. Researcher Eric Topol says that there must be genes that explain why people are
protected from the effects of aging process. The new research into long life did scrutinize groups of people who have a
genetic connection. One interesting group lives in Ecuador. In one area of the country there are a number of people with
the same genetic condition. It’s called Laron syndrome. These people don’t grow very tall – just over one metre. But Laron
syndrome also give them protection against cancer and diabetes. As a result, they live longer than other people in their
families. Meanwhile, on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, there’s another group of long-lived men, Japanese-Americans. They
have a similar gene to the Laron syndrome group.
Back in Calabria, researchers constructed the family trees of the 100-year-old people. They looked at family
information from the 19th century to today. It is concluded that there are genetic factors that give health benefits to the
men. This is a surprising result because generally in Europe, women live longer than men. So what really makes people
live longer? It seems likely that it is an interaction of genes, the environment and probably a third factor – luck.
23. Which of the following is NOT true about the Laron syndrome?
A. This syndrome is a health problem for groups of people in Ecuador and Hawaii.
B. It is the result of a genetic condition.
C. People diagnosed with this syndrome are prone to diabetes.
D. Ecuadorians having Laron syndrome are approximately one metre tall.
24. The word “elderly” in paragraph 2 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ______.
A. short-list B. short-sighted C. short-lived D. short-tempered
25. The word “they” in paragraph 4 refers to_______.
A. scientists B. explanations C. things D. diet and lifestyle
26. The word “scrutinize” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. weigh B. peruse C. inspect D. discover
27. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. Researcher Eric Topol says that some genes can give us the reason for our aging process.
B. Researcher Eric Topol says that some genes can cause effects on our aging process.
C. Researcher Eric Topol says that some genes can make our aging process shorter.
D. Researcher Eric Topol says that some genes can slow down our aging process.
28. Who is TRUE about the wellderly?
A. They are old people with health problems.
B. They are young people with health problems.
C. They are young people without health problems.
D. They are old people without health problems.
29. In which paragraph does the writer mention that most people talk about what to eat as the secret of their long life?
A. Paragraph 2 B. Paragraph 3 C. Paragraph 4 D. Paragraph 5
30. In which paragraph does the writer mention that fortune may be also a factor of their long life?

to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
An education pioneer born into rural poverty in Nepal has opened 30 schools in a bid to boost prospects for his
country's children.
The World Bank ranks Nepal as the globe's 31st poorest country, with almost 10 million people living on daily
incomes between £1.48 and £2.50. Many rural villages remain unreached by government schooling and adult literacy stood
at just 60 per cent in 2011.

Surya Karki and his charity United World Schools Nepal (UWS) are tackling high illiteracy and poverty rates by
funding and improving education.
The first school opened in 2015 – since then 92 per cent of children have completed primary education, which
finishes at age eight, and continued into secondary education with UWS schools. In comparison to 39 per cent of students
continuing education who attended government schools.
Mr Karki was born into poverty in rural Nepal. Speaking to the Telegraph he said: “School is the only solution to
the poverty cycle that we live in. I was raised by a single mother in a male-dominated society.
“The school that I went to was approximately two hours walk away. My house was on top of a hill and my mother
had to drag me across rivers. We used to walk 10 miles a day. The schooling was really bad.”
Of the students who would go to school, he said: “They would end up in the same place, as cheap migrant workers
in Qatar, Saudi, or Dubai. There was no value in education – no success stories.”
[A] Karki’s mother was a firm believer in education, and at age eight Karki secured a scholarship to study in the
capital, Kathmandu. [B] From there he won scholarships and completed Masters degrees in China and the United States.
[C] Karki said. “Inequalities in a country can only be decreased if there is access to knowledge.” [D]
The devastating earthquake in 2015 damaged 9,300 schools, displacing hundreds of thousands of families and
pushing 700,000 people into poverty. As of January 2018, only 2,891 schools had been rebuilt. Karki said: “We came at a
crucial time, where we could redo or undo what had been done badly. Education was really bad in terms of infrastructure,
quality of teachers, training. It was an opportunity for us to really make things better.”
UWS Nepal has so far built 30 schools and has seven more in construction. The schools run between 10 am and
3:30 pm, and have an 86 per cent average attendance rate, which Karki says is almost double the attendance rates for
government schools in the vicinity. Sexual health classes are taught to the children in the later years.

A. A man born into poverty in Nepal inspired thousands of children to finish school.
B. It was not easy to be born by a single mother in a male-dominated society.
C. The disastrous earthquake in 2015 deteriorated schooling system in Nepal.
D. Nepal successfully got rid of illiteracy thanks to the financial aid from World Bank.
32. The word “tackling” in the passage is closest in meaning to _______.

C. The more inequalities in a country are decreased, the more knowledge there is for people to access.
D. It is impossible to gain access to knowledge as there are such a lot of difficulties in a country.

B. He used to travel a long way in order to get to school.
C. He was academically stronger most other students in his class.
D. He was not raised by his father, which was a disadvantage in a male-dominated like that.

Read the following passage about human life expectancy and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer
sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
Nomophobia, short for "no-mobile-phone phobia," is a modern phenomenon that affects many people in today's
digital age.
What is nomophobia? It is the irrational fear of being without one's mobile phone or being unable to use it. This
condition can cause anxiety and distress, and it highlights the profound impact mobile devices have on our lives. The fear
of losing or being separated from one's phone is a growing concern. Some common situations that trigger nomophobia
include misplacing one's phone, running out of battery, or losing network signal. The fear intensifies when people imagine
not having their phones to contact friends and family, access the internet, or use GPS for navigation.
Who easily suffers from nomophobia? Nomophobia is not limited to any age group and can affect individuals of all
backgrounds. It often becomes evident when people experience panic or anxiety when they forget their phones at home or
are unable to use them temporarily. Symptoms may include restlessness, rapid heartbeat, sweating, and a sense of
insecurity.
The roots of nomophobia lie in the convenience and connectedness that mobile phones provide. These devices have
become integral to our daily lives, serving as not just communication tools but also cameras, entertainment hubs, personal
organizers, and more. This dependence on mobile phones can lead to a feeling of vulnerability when separated from them.

23. Which of the following is not mentioned as nomophobia?

A. The irrational fear of not bringing along at least a mobile phone.
B. The irrational fear of being unable to afford a mobile phone.
C. The irrational fear of being unable to operate a mobile phone.
D. The irrational fear of not being with a mobile phone.

A. fearlessness B. carelessness C. uselessness D. meaninglessness
25. The pronoun “it” in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. the mobile phone B. the irrational fear C. the digital age D. distress
26. The word “vulnerability” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. weaknesses B. sickness C. loss D. depression
27. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 3.
A. Only some people can avoid nomophobia while others easily get stuck in it.
B. Naturally, everyone is easily immune to nomophobia.
C. Hardly anyone remains unaffected by nomophobia.
D. Nomophobia affects everyone in the world, but some people can easily get over it.
28. Which of the following is TRUE according to paragraph 2?
A. People in today's cyberworld shouldn’t bring along a mobile phone to avoid nomophobia.
B. Before the first mobile phone was invented, human beings had not been affected by nomophobia.
C. People do not use their phones to contact others, access the internet, or use GPS for navigation.
D. Nomophobia is so dangerous that people should stop using mobile phones to avoid it.
29. In which paragraph does the writer mention the cause of nomophobia?

Read the following passage about education in Nepal and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet
to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
Fashion in the 1960s reflected the cultural and political upheaval of the time. The hippie and counterculture
movement gave rise to accessories like Pocahontas-style headbands and medallions worn around the neck. Hippies wore
long, loosely fitting clothing, often in natural fabrics. Hemlines rose as Mary Quant popularized the miniskirt and hot pants
in her lines for JC Penney. And mod fashion, with brightly colored space-age geometric patterns, shift dresses and colored
tights became the mainstream. Both miniskirts and mod-shift dresses were worn with knee-high go-go boots.
[A] During the 1970s, the loose-fitting hippie clothes of the prior decade gave way to exotic fabrics and bell-
bottom jeans for men and women. Hemlines continued to rise and hot pants continued their popularity, reflecting the
flashy style of the decade. However, the 1970s also saw the popularity of a longer hemline, from mid-calf to ankle-length.
[B] Women wore peasant-style clothing, especially blouses with off-the-shoulder necklines and lace trim, with their jeans
or skirts. [C] Disco fashion emerged, featuring bright patterns and tightly fitting clothing meant to show off the body.
Platform shoes elevated their wearer, male or female, anywhere from two to four inches or more. [D]
The 1980s saw another fashion upheaval. Angst-ridden punks wore Dr. Marten and steel-toed army boots, chains,
tartan patterns, and bondage pants. Punks focused more on their hair during this period, dying, teasing and chopping their
hair into asymmetric styles that seemed to defy gravity. Women—and men—experimented with heavy eyeliner in a variety
of colors. Women wore neon colors, jelly shoes, tight jeans, leggings, leg warmers and oversized sweatshirts. Menswear-
inspired looks also became popular for both sexes. Men wore ‘power suits,’ named so for their price, which made these
suits a reflection of the wealth of the wearer. Women’s jackets featured big shoulder pads that made the shoulders appear
higher and larger, similar to the male silhouette.
1990’s fashion was far more subdued than the garish, wild styles of the 1980s. Bands like Nirvana influenced the
grunge look, which featured rock-concert tee shirts under plaid flannel shirts, jeans and long, greasy hair. Overalls were
worn by both sexes, either with one or both shoulder straps unhooked. The punk style of the 1870s and 1980s evolved into
the goth fashion trend, which featured black clothing, black boots and studded bracelets in the style of bands like Nine
Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson.

Read the following passage about human life expectancy and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet
to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
An engine is a machine that creates mechanical motion from energy. In order to do this, an engine frequently requires
some type of fuel to burn. Nowadays, many engines are used to power cars and other forms of transportation. These
vehicles most commonly have an internal combustion engine and rely upon gasoline for power. However, there are several
types of engines that can use alternative energy sources. Many people are trying to switch to them because gasoline,
which is a fossil fuel, creates pollution and is also a non-renewable resource.
These days, engines that are able to burn biofuels are somewhat common. Biofuels are fuels that are made from
biological material, such as corn, soybeans, and sugarcane. These biofuels burn cleanly, so they produce much less
pollution than fossil fuels. In some countries, such as Brazil, cars with biofuel engines are standard. In fact, most of the
cars in Brazil have engines that can operate on either gasoline or biofuel.
A second type of alternative engine is the electric engine. Cars with electric engines have been common for decades.
Most are being used in hybrid cars at the moment. These are vehicles that have both a gasoline-powered engine and an
electric one. In many cases, the gasoline-powered engine is used to operate the car at high speeds on expressways. The
electric engine is utilised for city driving. One benefit of hybrid cars is that as the gasoline-powered engine runs, it
simultaneously recharges the electric engine.
A third type of alternative engine is the hydrogen engine. It utilises hydrogen fuel cells, which convert hydrogen into
electricity that can power the car These days, there are many cars and buses that rely upon hydrogen engines. However,
there are some problems associated with this type of engine. The hydrogen used in the engine must be processed from
other materials, and it is also difficult to store. As a result, vehicles that run on hydrogen are expensive.
Alternative energy sources create less pollution and are often renewable sources of energy. It is hoped that more and
more innovations help the use of alternative energy sources become easier and easier.
23. Which of the following is not mentioned in the text above as renewable energy?
A. Gasoline B. Biofuel C. Hydrogen D. Electricity
24. The phrase alternative energy sources in paragraph 1 is OPPOSITE in meaning to _____.
A. Hybrid engines B. Fossil fuels C. Biological fuels D. Electric engines
25. The word “recharges” is closest in meaning to _______.
A. resumes B. retreats C. repels D. refreshes
26. The author uses corn, soybeans, and sugarcane as examples of _______.
A. crops that are grown in Brazil B. plants that can be eaten by people
C. biological materials that grow quickly D. things that can be turned into biofuels

A. Alternative sources of energy can be used up and cause contamination.
B. Alternative sources of energy are never used up but cause contamination.

D. Alternative sources of energy are limited but cause no pollution.
28. What is True about a hybrid car?
A. It runs on both gasoline and electricity at the same time.
B. It runs on electricity and produces gasoline at the same time.
C. It has one engine producing electricity while the other runs on gasoline.
D. It has one engine running on gasoline while the other runs on electricity.

Read the following passage about managing change and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet
to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
Managing change means managing people's fear. Change is natural and good, but people's reaction to change is
unpredictable and can be irrational. It can be managed if done right.
Nothing is as upsetting to your people as change. Nothing has greater potential to cause failures, loss of production,
or falling quality of work. Yet nothing is as important to the survival of your organization as change. History is full of
examples of organizations that failed to change and are now extinct. The secret to successfully managing change, from the
perspective of the employees, is definition and understanding.
Resistance to change comes from a fear of the unknown or an expectation of loss. The front end of an individual's
resistance to change is how they perceive the change. The back end is how well they are equipped to deal with the change
they expect.
An individual's degree of resistance to change is determined by whether they perceive the change as good or bad,
and how severe they expect the impact of the change to be on them. Their ultimate acceptance of the change is a function
of how much resistance the person has and the quality of their coping skills and their support system.
If you move an employee's desk six inches, they may not notice or care. Yet if the reason you moved it those six
inches was to fit in another worker in an adjacent desk, there may be high resistance to the change. It depends on whether
the original employee feels the hiring of an additional employee is a threat to his job or perceives the hiring as bringing in
some needed assistance.
A promotion is usually considered a good change. However, an employee who doubts their ability to handle the
new job may strongly resist the promotion. They will give you all kinds of reasons for not wanting the promotion, just not
the real one.
You might expect a higher-level employee to be less concerned about being laid off because they have savings
and investments to support them during a job search. However, the individual may feel they are overextended and that a
job search will be long and complicated. Conversely, your concern for a low-income employee being laid off may be
unfounded if they have stashed a nest egg in anticipation of the cut.
Your best salesperson may balk at taking on new, high-potential account because they have an irrational feeling
that they don't dress well enough.
If you try and bulldoze this resistance, you will fail. [A] The employee whose desk you had to move will
develop production problems. [B] The top worker who keeps declining the promotion may quit rather than have to
continue making up excuses for turning you down. [C] And the top salesperson's sales may drop to the point that you
stop considering them for the new account. [D]
31. Which of the following best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Managing people in the time of change
B. Managing change: Managing fear
C. Tips for laying off employees without resistance
D. Failing to change: Planning to fail
32. The word “perceive” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _____.

Instead, you overcome the resistance by defining the change and by getting a mutual understanding.
A. [A] B. [B] C. [C] D. [D]
36. Which of the following best expresses the essential information in the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. It is the employee’s perception of the change itself and the influence the change may exert on them that decide
their reaction to change.
B. The more determination the employee has, the more resistant he or she is when dealing with the serious impact that
the change has on him or her.
C. No matter how determined an employee may be, they are unable to resist to the change that has too severe effects
on them.
D. A person will resist to change until the level that the severity of the effects caused by the change gets beyond his or
her determination.
37. Which of the following is True about change?
A. Change itself is not problematic but it is the way people react to change that causes problems.
B. Change is of little importance to the survival and development of an organisation.
C. The organisations that have been inflexible to change can sustain during the course of time.
D. Most of the employers keep changes a secret and will not easily tell employees of the changes.
38. What are the two things that employees should bear in mind when managing change?
A. Defining it and understand it
B. Predicting it and resisting it
C. Expecting it and combatting it
D. Perceiving it and expecting it
39. Why does the author mention moving an employee’s desk?
A. To show how small a change may be
B. To show how this action can be perceived differently
C. To explain that most employees don’t welcome change
D. To highlight the need of change in the workplace
40. Who would most probably be the target readers of the passage?
A. Employers B. Employees C. Psychologists D. Reformers
