Globally, we know that the continuing spread of COVID-19 is making the public feel anxious,
distressed or worried. And there are a number of people and communities who are particularly
vulnerable to the psychological and psychosocial impact caused by the pandemic itself and the drastic
measures implemented to contain it. 
Obviously, people with existing mental health conditions may experience an increase in
psychological distress and trauma symptoms if they are isolated, their treatment may be disrupted. As a
result, their caretakers may be put under additional strain. 
Also, older adults, especially in isolation and those with cognitive decline, may become more
anxious, angry, stressed, agitated and withdrawn during the outbreak or while in quarantine. They need
practical and emotional support through informal networks (families) and health professionals. And of
course, healthcare workers themselves are facing unique hardships during this pandemic: they have to
work in extraordinary circumstances; they are more likely to feel under pressure and stress when
working. And in many cases, they also have to worry about transmitting the disease to their families.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the
question. 
TikTok is a video-sharing app that lets users post clips that are 15 to 60 seconds long. Since
2018, the platform’s popularity has exploded, becoming the most downloaded app globally in the first
quarter of 2020. However, it is now facing a potential ban in the US and among employees of several
major companies. So what are the problems? 
Firstly, it is feared that because TikTok’s parent company ByteDance is based in China, it may
share user data with the Chinese government, whether intentionally through data requests or
unintentionally through surveillance software. Then there are concerns about how much data TikTok
collects. “The fear is that the information in TikTok could provide more details than intended about
people’s whereabouts or what they are up to,” said Chris Morales, a cybersecurity expert. Finally, many
are also worried about security breaches. TikTok has recently had to patch several major flaws,
including one that would allow an attacker to freely control someone else’s account, upload
unauthorized videos, make private videos public and delete existing videos. 
Are these concerns legitimate? TikTok does collect a significant amount of user data, research
shows. To sign up, users must provide their email, phone number and a link to another social media
account. The app itself requires permissions to user location, audio and camera recordings, and contacts.
That’s more data than companies like Twitter and Facebook collect. Together, the information could
easily be used to identify and track the actions of specific people that use the application. However,
TikTok has denied claims that it is sharing information with the Chinese government and has distanced
itself from ByteDance, hiring the former Disney executive Kevin Mayer as CEO in May. 
That being said, studies have found cause for concern. One report from the security firm
Penetrum found the majority of TikTok’s data could be traced to servers in China hosted by Alibaba,
which has had security breaches in the past and shares the users’ information with third parties,
according to its privacy policy. 
(Adapted from theguardian.com) 
Question 36: Which best serves as the title for the passage?

D. Things To Know About TikTok And Concerns Over Its Security
Question 37: The word “exploded” in paragraph 1 can be best replaced by ___________. 
A. shattered B. erupted C. magnified D. heightened
Question 38: According to paragraph 2, why is it a concern that TikTok’s parent company ByteDance
is based in China?
A. Because the Chinese government has forced ByteDance to share user data before. 
B. Because ByteDance may share data with user the Chinese governement on purpose.
C. Because TikTok may steal personal data by using Chinese surveillance softwares.
