Read the following passage adapted and choose the correct answer (corresponding to A, B, C, or D) to each of the questions that follow.

 It’s often said that we learn things at the wrong time. University students frequently do the minimum of work because they’re crazy about a good social life instead. Children often scream before their piano practice because it’s so boring. They have to be given gold stars and medals to be persuaded to swim, or have to be bribed to take exams. But the story is different when you’re older.

Over the years, I’ve done my share of adult learning. At 30, I went to a college and did courses in History and English. It was an amazing experience. For starters, I was paying, so there was no reason to be late – I was the one frowning and drumming my fingers if the tutor was late, not the other way round. Indeed, if I could persuade him to linger for an extra five minutes, it was a bonus, not a nuisance. I wasn’t frightened to ask questions, and homework was a pleasure not a pain. When I passed an exam, I had passed it for me and me alone, not for my parents or my teachers. The satisfaction I got was entirely personal.

Some people fear going back to school because they worry that their brains have got rusty. But the joy is that, although some parts have rusted up, your brain has learnt all kinds of other things since you were young. It has learnt to think independently and flexibly and is much better at relating one thing to another. What you lose in the rust department, you gain in the maturity department.

In some ways, age is a positive plus. For instance, when you’re older, you get less frustrated. Experience has told you that, if you’re calm and simply do something carefully again and again, eventually you’ll get the hang of it. The confidence you have in other areas – from being able to drive a car, perhaps – means that if you can’t, say, build a chair instantly, you don’t, like a child, want to destroy your first pathetic attempts. Maturity tells you that you will, with application, eventually get there.

I hated piano lessons at school, but I was good at music. And coming back to it, with a teacher who could explain why certain exercises were useful and with musical concepts that, at the age of ten, I could never grasp, was magical. Initially, I did feel a bit strange, thumping out a piece that I’d played for my school exams, with just as little comprehension of what the composer intended as I’d had all those years before. But soon, complex emotions that I never knew poured out from my fingers, and suddenly I could understand why practice makes perfect.

While doing some adult learning courses at a college, the writer was surprised ______.

A. to have more time to learn 

B. to be able to learn more quickly

C. to feel learning more enjoyable 

D. to get on better with the tutor

It is often said that books are always a good friend and reading is an active mental process. Unlike TV, books make you use your brain. By reading, you think more and become smarter. Reading improves concentration and focus. Reading books takes brain power. It requires you to focus on what you are reading for long periods. Unlike magazines, the Internet posts or e-emails might contain small pieces of information. Books tell the whole story.. Since you must concentrate in order to read, you will get better at concentration. Many studies show if you do not use your memory; you lose it. Reading helps you stretch your memory muscles. Reading requires remembering details, facts and figures and in literature, plot lines, themes and characters.

Reading is a good way to improve your vocabulary. Do you remember that when you were at elementary school you learned how to infer the meaning of one word by reading the context of the other words in the sentence? While reading books, especially challenging ones, you will find yourself exposed to many new words.

Reading is a fundamental skill builder. Every good course has a matching book to go with it. Why? Because books help clarify difficult subjects. Books provide information that goes deeper than just classroom discussions By reading more books you become better informed and more of an expert on the topics you read about. This expertise translates into higher self-esteem. Since you are so well-read, people look to you for answers. Your feelings about yourself can only get better.

Books give you knowledge of other cultures and places. The more information you have got, the richer your knowledge is. Books can expand your horizons by letting you see what other cities and countries have to offer before you visit them.

Q28-Q35: Read the passage carefully and choose A, D, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions that follow.

1. Many parents are concerned about how exposure to technology might affect young children’s
development. We know that our preschoolers are acquiring new social and cognitive skills at an
impressive rate, and we don’t want hours glued to an electronic device to impede this. But adolescence
is an equally important and rapidly developing period. Too few of us are paying attention to how our
teens’ technology use (far more intense and intimate than that of a 3-year-old playing with his dad’s
phone) affects them. Experts worry that social networking and texting, which have become essential
to teenage life, promote anxiety and lower self-esteem.

2. INDIRECT COMMUNICATION
Teens can keep busy hours after school and even long after bedtime. When they’re not doing their
homework (and when they are), they’re online and on their phones, texting, sharing, trolling, scrolling,
whatever.

3. Of course, before everyone had an Instagram account, teens were also busy, but they were more likely
to talk on the phone or in person when they were at the mall. While it may have seemed like a lot of
pointless meetings, they were experimenting, testing skills, succeeding, and failing in hundreds of
small, real-time interactions, which today’s kids need to catch up on. For their part, modern teenagers
are learning to communicate mainly while looking at a screen, not at another person.

4. CYBERBULLYING AND IMPOSTER SYNDROME
The other big danger of kids communicating more indirectly is that it has become easier to be cruel.
“Kids are sending all kinds of messages they wouldn’t dream of saying to anyone’s face,” says Donna

5
Wick, EdD, a clinical and developmental psychologist. She notes that this seems especially true for
girls, who generally dislike disagreeing with their friends in “real life.”

5. Acceptance among their peers is essential to teens, and many of them care about their image as much
as a politician running for office, and for them, it can feel that serious. Add to that the fact that kids
today get real survey data about how much people like them or how they look, through things like
“likes.” It’s enough to turn anyone’s head – who wouldn’t want to look “better” if they can? So kids
can spend hours clipping their identities online, trying to project an idealized image. Teenage girls sort
through hundreds of photos, with tremendous angst over which ones to post online. Teenage boys
compete for attention, trying to outdo each other and pushing boundaries as much as possible in the

uninhibited online atmosphere. They gang up on each other.
6. Teens have always been doing this, but with the advent of social networking, they face more
opportunities and more pitfalls than ever before. When kids check social media posts and see how good
everyone looks, it only adds to the pressure. We’re used to worrying about the impractical ideals that
digitally retouched magazine models give our kids, but what happens when the kid next door is also
retouched? Even more confusing, what happens when our profile doesn’t represent the person we feel
we are inside?

Children often scream before their piano practice because it’s so boring. They have to be given gold stars and medals to be persuaded to swim, or have to be bribed to take exams. But the story is different when you’re older.

Over the years, I’ve done my share of adult learning. At 30, I went to a college and did courses in History and English. It was an amazing experience. For starters, I was paying, so there was no reason to be late – I was the one frowning and drumming my fingers if the tutor was late, not the other way round. Indeed, if I could persuade him to linger for an extra five minutes, it was a bonus, not a nuisance. I wasn’t frightened to ask questions, and homework was a pleasure not a pain. When I passed an exam, I had passed it for me and me alone, not for my parents or my teachers. The satisfaction I got was entirely personal.

Some people fear going back to school because they worry that their brains have got rusty. But the joy is that, although some parts have rusted up, your brain has learnt all kinds of other things since you were young. It has learnt to think independently and flexibly and is much better at relating one thing to another. What you lose in the rust department, you gain in the maturity department.

In some ways, age is a positive plus. For instance, when you’re older, you get less frustrated. Experience has told you that, if you’re calm and simply do something carefully again and again, eventually you’ll get the hang of it. The confidence you have in other areas – from being able to drive a car, perhaps – means that if you can’t, say, build a chair instantly, you don’t, like a child, want to destroy your first pathetic attempts. Maturity tells you that you will, with application, eventually get there.

I hated piano lessons at school, but I was good at music. And coming back to it, with a teacher who could explain why certain exercises were useful and with musical concepts that, at the age of ten, I could never grasp, was magical. Initially, I did feel a bit strange, thumping out a piece that I’d played for my school exams, with just as little comprehension of what the composer intended as I’d had all those years before. But soon, complex emotions that I never knew poured out from my fingers, and suddenly I could understand why practice makes perfect.

It is implied in the last paragraph that when you learn later in life, you ______.

A. are not able to concentrate as well as when you were younger

B. find that you can recall a lot of things you learnt when younger

C. should expect to take longer to learn than when you were younger

D. can sometimes understand more than when you were younger

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

            Did you know that on average we forget about 80% of the medical information a doctor might give us? This fascinating information came to light as a result of a study carried out by Utrecht University. What is even more interesting is that almost half of what we think we remember is wrong.

            Why do you think this is? Well, it's not as complicated as you may think. You see, going to the doctor fills most people with anxiety and when we are really nervous and stressed we are more likely to focus on the diagnosis rather than the treatment. Therefore, we know what is wrong with as but have no idea what to do about it.

            Here are some good tips to keep in mind when seeing a doctor. Always write down any important information. What would be even better is, if your doctor agreed, to record your consultation. This way, you can replay the advice at home, where you are more likely to absorb it. If you believe the situation is serious or you're really worried, seek the help of a family member. Just ask them to accompany you to listen in. This way you can be absolutely sure about what the doctor has told you and avoid falling into the same trap that most people do.
