Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 40 to 49.
New surveys suggest that the technological tools we use to make our lives easier are killing our leisure
time. We are working longer hours, taking fewer and shorter vacations (and when we do go away, we take
our cell phones, PDAs, and laptops along). And, we are more stressed than ever as increased use of e-mail,
voice mail, cell phones, and the Internet is destroying any idea of privacy and leisure.
Since the Industrial Revolution, people have assumed that new labor-saving devices would free them
from the burdens of the workplace and give them more time to grow intellectually, creatively, and socially -
exploring the arts, keeping up with current events, spending more time with friends and family, and even
just goofing off.
But here we are at the start of the 21st century, enjoying one of the greatest technological boom times
in human history, and nothing could be further from the truth. The very tools that were supposed to liberate
us have bound us to our work and study in ways that were inconceivable just a few years ago. It would
seem that technology almost never does what we expect.
In the old days, the lines between work and leisure time were markedly clearer. People left their
offices at a predictable time, were often completely disconnected from and out of touch with their jobs as
they traveled to and from work, and were off-duty once they were home. That is no longer true. In today's
highly competitive job market, employers demand increased productivity, expecting workers to put in longer
hours and to keep in touch almost constantly via fax, cell phones, e-mail, or other communications devices.
As a result, employees feel the need to check in on what is going on at the office, even on days off. They
ng k hc: 0962 60 8801 04 6260 3948 3
a ch: S 18 Trn i Ngha Q Hai B Trng H ni
feel pressured to work after hours just to catch up on everything they have to do. Workers work harder and
longer, change their work tasks more frequently, and have more and more reasons to worry about job
security.
Bosses, colleagues, family members, lovers, and friends expect instant responses to voice mail and e-
mail messages. Even college students have become bound to their desks by an environment in which
faculty, friends, and other members of the college community increasingly do their work online. Studies of
time spent on instant messaging services would probably show staggering use.
This is not what technology was supposed to be doing for us. New technologies, from genetic research
to the Internet, offer all sorts of benefits and opportunities. But, when new tools make life more difficult and
stressful rather than easier and more meaningful - and we are, as a society, barely conscious of it - then
something has gone seriously awry, both with our expectations for technology and our understanding of how
it should benefit us.
From Summit 1 by Joan Saslow & Allen Ascher

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 50 to 59.
Life expectancy is the period of time that a person can expect to live. Life expectancy varies greatly
between genders and cultures. It used to be that women had a lower life expectancy than men (1 in every 4
women died in childbirth), but now they live an average of four to five years longer than men. Life
expectancy has been increasing rapidly over the last centuries. With the advent of such modern miracles as
sewers, medicine and a greater understanding of how diseases are spread, our life expectancy has increased
by 25-30 years.
In developing countries like Swaziland, where there is a high HIV/ AIDS rate, life expectancy is as low
as 32.6 years. In developed countries like Australia, life expectancy rates are as high as 81 years. There are
an increasing number of factors which can cancel out the disadvantages you have. The one that we are
looking at now is how your career can affect your life expectancy. Choosing the wrong career can result in a
shorter life!
If you want your career to positively influence your life expectancy, you have to be made of money.
Thats right. Rich people in wealthy areas of England and France live 10 years longer than the people in
poorer areas. Having a successful career has its drawbacks, too if the result of hard work is stress.
Stress can lead to a number of psychological disorders such as depression, anxiety, fatigue, tension and
aggression. These conditions may result in a lack of concentration and an increase in serious injuries at
work. They can also lead to high blood pressure and heart attacks which seriously affect life expectancy.
If you are worried that your job might decrease your life expectancy, you probably need to avoid
careers on dangerous jobs list such as timber cutters, pilots, construction workers, roofer, truck drivers.
So if you dont want to kick the bucket at an early age, choose a career in something other than timber
cutting, but above all, remember to relax.
