Read the following passage about Huawei company 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.
Huawei is a multinational company that makes telecommunications parts for mobile phones ,
network equipment and other high-tech devices . It is the second largest such company in the world. Huawei has
its headquarters in Shenzhen, which became China’s first special economic zone in 1979.
The Chinese technology company, which was founded about 20 years ago, has over 100,000 workers in all parts
of the world, more than Microsoft. Most of the company is owned by its employees . Huawei started out in
the rural areas in China. In those days most of the telecom contracts went to state-owned Chinese or foreign
firms. As the company grew, it took hold of urban markets in big Chinese cities and in 1997 it expanded to
other countries.
Today, Huawei is the second biggest manufacturer of telecom equipment, after Ericsson. In 2011, annual sales
is expected to be about $12 billion dollars and likely to get three times as high within the next ten years.
Working for Huawei is something many young Chinese engineers and IT workers dream of. The 1.5 square
km site has modern apartments that can be rented, its own hospital, restaurants and bars where employees can go
to in their free time. For Chinese standards workers are well-paid. Although Huawei has been concentrating on
making telecom parts and whole networks, the company is also looking into other industries in an attempt
to diversify and grow. At Shenzhen engineers are experimenting on new forms of video conferencing, a branch
that is expanding rapidly . The Chinese hi-tech giant is also starting to produce cloud-based hardware and
computers that work out of the box .
Even though Huawei is one of the world leaders in producing mobile phone parts it is also pushing into
the consumer market with its own brand of computers, tablets and smartphones. So far Huawei has failed
to reach the American market because of security reasons. The American government thinks it
has connections with the Chinese military and is afraid it will spy on the American public

Read the following passage about lifelong learning 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.
[I] Lifelong learning is the ongoing, voluntary, and self-motivated pursuit of knowledge for personal or
professional development (Knowles, 2020). [II] This concept emphasizes that learning does not stop after formal
education, but rather continues throughout an individual's life, adapting to changing circumstances and needs.
[III] In today’s fast-paced world, where technology and job markets evolve rapidly, lifelong learning has become
increasingly essential. [IV]
One of the primary benefits of lifelong learning is its ability to enhance employability. Individuals who engage in
continuous education are more likely to keep their skills relevant and competitive in the job market. According to
a report by the World Economic Forum (2021), over 50% of employees will need reskilling due to technological
advancements in the coming years. Lifelong learners are better equipped to adapt to these changes, making them
more attractive candidates for employers.
Moreover, lifelong learning contributes to personal fulfillment and mental well-being. Engaging in new learning
experiences can stimulate the brain, foster creativity, and improve cognitive function. Research indicates that
individuals who pursue learning opportunities throughout their lives tend to report higher levels of happiness and
life satisfaction (Smith & Johnson, 2019). Whether it is taking a course, learning a new language, or picking up a
new hobby, the process of acquiring knowledge can be enriching and enjoyable.
In addition, lifelong learning promotes social engagement and community involvement. Participating in
educational programs or community workshops can foster connections with others who share similar interests.
This social aspect of learning can enhance one's sense of belonging and support networks, which are crucial for
mental health (Jones, 2022).
Overall, lifelong learning is not just an individual responsibility; it requires support from educational institutions,
employers, and communities to create an environment conducive to continuous education. By fostering a culture
of learning, society can better prepare individuals for the challenges of the future and ensure that everyone has the
opportunity to thrive.
(Adapted from The Importance of Lifelong Learning by Knowles, Smith, Johnson, and others)
