correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered Weeks from 47 to 51
Human beings have a superpower- sweating. When temperatures rise, beads of sweat exude from
air pores and evaporate, releasing energy that cools the skin and keeps our bodies (47) _______
overheating. This self-cooling mechanism has helped humans spread to (48) _______ hot and humid comer
of the globe. But that sweating superpower has a theoretical upper limit. When it gets too hot and humid,
the laws of physics inhibit sweat from cooling skin. That limit is hit when a bulb thermometer wrapped in
a wet towel (a measure of heat and humidity (49) _______ is known as "wet - bulb" temperature) reads 35°
Celsius 95" Fahrenheit. Even the fittest human supplied with unlimited water would probably die after a
few hours in these condition.
Scientists have thought that this temperature extreme occurs rarely, if ever, on Earth. (50) _______ as
the globe warms, wet-bulb temperatures around 35°C could become more common toward the end of
the century in certain regions, endangering hundreds of millions of people.
If carbon emissions aren't (51) _______ cubed in the coming decades, these relatively rare extremes
will become increasingly common. Such conditions are unbearable without technology like air
conditioning and make outdoor labor near impossible.

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 52 to 56.
While previous generations of American students have had to sit through tests, never have the tests
been given so frequently and never have they played such a prominent role in schooling. Exams used to
be administered mostly to decide where to place kids or what kind of help they needed, only recently
have sores been published in the newspaper and used as the primary criteria for judging children,
teachers, and schools - indeed, as the basis for flunking students or denying them a diploma, deciding
where money should be spent, and so on. Tests have lately become a mechanism by which public officials
can impose their will on schools and they are doing so with a vengeance.
This situation is also unusual from an international perspective. "Few countries today give the formal
examinations to students before the age of sixteen or so,” two scholars report. In the U.S, we give
standardized tests to child as young as six, despite the fact that almost all experts in early childhood
education condemn this practice. And it it easy to find other countries that give multiple- choice tests to
students of any age.
In short, our children are tested to an extent that is unprecedented in our history and unparalleled
anywhere else in the world. Rather than seeing this as odd, or something that needs to be defended,
many of us have come to take it for granted. The result is that most of today's discourse about education
has been reduced to a crude series of monosyllables: “Test scores are too low. Make them go up.”

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 57 to 42
Indulging oneself is a common coping strategy that proves of almost no value in helping us deal
with problems. Consider the example of Doug: whose girlfriend of 18 months has just broken up with
him response, Doug has dived into a number of self-indulgent habits that he had previously held to a
minimum. He is smoking at least a pack of cigarettes a day. As soon as he is home from work, he pours
himself a slug of Corona Extra - a beverage he continues to sip through the evening until he passes out.
On the weekends, he hits a nearby casino with some fellow single friends and gambles far more than he
can afford to lose.
Doug would describe each of these behaviors - smoking, drinking, and gambling - as pleasurable.
And yet, when practiced to excess, each of them has a negative effect on his overall well-being. None of
them addresses the problem that is the source of his stress - why his relationship with his girlfriend has
ended.
People who respond to stressful events by indulging themselves are attempting to compensate for a
lack of satisfaction in one area of their lives by providing themselves with an alternate form of
satisfaction. Drinking, smoking, binge eating, shopping sprees, drug use, and gambling are all forms of
self-indulgence commonly used to compensate for stressful events. Not surprisingly, this form of coping
leads to its own problems, in the shape of poor physical health, addiction, and financial problems.
A recent form of this maladaptive coping style is seen in people who respond to the stress of daily
life by spending excessive amount of time online. Some people become so immersed in the virtual world
of online games, websites, social networking, and so on, that it seems no exaggeration to call them
"Internet addicts." People who spend an inordinate amount of time on the Internet often describe
themselves as feeling empty, lost, depressed, and anxious when they are not able to be online. Their real-
life relationships, as well as their ability to function at work or at sebool, suffer as they become more
immersed in their online activities. Like other forms of self-indulgence as coping strategy, Internet
overuse can end up creating, rather than solving problems in the subject's life.
