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 4 to 10.
For Sean O'Brien, it was just an ordinary night out with friends. He knew that people sometimes mocked him
for being overweight, and he was usually able to shrug it off. But this time, as well as laughing at him in person,
someone decided to publicly fat-shame him by posting a video of him dancing online, with a hurtful comment. Sean
was completely unaware of it, but the post about him was shared widely, and it prompted a wave of abuse from
immature Internet trolls.
However, as well as the cyberbullies, other people were watching. A group of women in California, who were
campaigning to encourage people to have a positive body image whatever their size, decided to take action. They put
out a message on Twitter, inviting Sean on an all-expenses- paid trip from London to Los Angeles, to meet and
dance with them. When Sean's friends first told him about the search for dancing man, he figured it was a bit of
nonsense which would soon blow over, and decided not to bother doing anything about it.
But the movement got bigger and bigger. Sean rethought his decision, made contact, and the women - all 1,700
of them - started raising money to throw him an extra-special party in LA. He went to the party in California. Sean
had assumed that just a few people would turn up, but he realised his mistake as soon as he saw over 1,000 people
queuing to get into the nightclub! Sean danced all night and the story of how he and the women's group in California
took a stance against cyberbullying was reported aroun the world. As a result of the event, some of the women set up
Dance Free Movement, an online forum where anyone who felt they had been bullied or victimized could receive
support. The 'dancing man' himself has become a fundraiser for several anti-bullying charities.
Sean commented in an interview at the time that he was amazed that something which started out so badly, had
become such a positive movement. He said that he had actually never really thought about the people who posted the
original images, concluding that they must have their own insecurities, to put the spotlight on someone else so
maliciously. Sean certainly had the last laugh. We are often told that the best idea is not to give bullies any attention,
but it may be that the best way to deal with cyberbullying is to act as these women did and be brave enough to make
it clear that we are uncomfortable with this kind of behaviour, that we disagree with what is being said and that
bullying is completely unacceptable.

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 33 to 37.
Australians place a high value on independence and personal choice. This means that a teacher or course tutor
will not tell students what to do, but will give them a number of options and suggest they work out which one is the
best in their circumstances. It also means that they are expected to take action if something goes wrong and seek out
resources and support for themselves.
Australians are also prepared to accept a range of opinions rather than believing there is one truth. This means
that in an educational setting, students will be expected to form their own opinions and defend the reasons for that
point of view and the evidence for it.
Australians are uncomfortable with differences in status and hence idealise the idea of treating everyone
equally. An illustration of this is that most adult Australians call each other by their first names. This concern with
equality means that Australians are uncomfortable taking anything too seriously and are even ready to joke about
themselves.
Australians believe that life should have a balance between work and leisure time. As a consequence, some
students may be critical of others who they perceive as doing nothing but study. Australian notions of privacy mean
that areas such as financial matters, appearance and relationships are only discussed with close friends. While people
may volunteer such information, they may resent someone actually asking them unless the friendship is firmly
established. Even then, it is considered very impolite to ask someone what they earn. With older people, it is also
rude to ask how old they are, why they are not married or why they do not have children. It is also impolite to ask
people how much they have paid for something, unless there is a very good reason for asking.
