ENDING CYBERBULLYING
This message may be hurtful. Are you sure you want to post it? What if this message appeared every time a
teenager tried to post an insulting message about someone on Facebook or Twitter? Trisha Prabhu, a 14-year-old high
school student from Illinois in the USA, thinks that this message could help end one of the world’s biggest teen problems
– cyberbullying.
Ever since she was a young girl, Trisha has been fascinated by how the brain works, and in the future she wants
to study the subject at university. For now, though, she’s using her knowledge of the brain to help end cyberbullying.
According to Trisha, the part of the brain that is responsible for self-control is less developed in teens than in adults.
This means that teens are more likely to do things without thinking twice. As Trisha says, “A teenager’s brain is like a
car with no brakes.”
So, Trisha developed a piece of software called ReThink that forces teens to think about their actions online.
When it is installed on a computer, ReThink looks for words that a user wants to post on a social networking site which
might be insulting to others. Then, it asks the user if they are sure they want to post the message. And it works.
Trisha says that around 90% of teens who plan to post a hurtful message reconsider and they decide not to because
of ReThink.
Now, parents and schools are downloading ReThink, and Trisha even presented her software at the Google
Science Fair in 2014. ReThink shows that, with just a little more time to think, cyberbullies are the ones that can end
cyberbullying.

Question 31: What could be another suitable title for the text?
A. Making teens think twice online B. What to do if cyberbullied?
C. Consequences of cyberbullying D. Google Science Fair – A winner
Question 32: What is true about Trisha Prabhu?
A. She was a victim of cyberbullying. B. She has graduated from high school.
C. She has earned a lot from ReThink. D. She wants to continue to study the brain.
Question 33: The word insulting in paragraph 2 mostly means .
A. hurtful B. thoughtful C. encouraging D. boring
Question 34: The word “they” in paragraph 2 refers to .
A. teens B. message C. words D. actions
Question 35: According to paragraph 3, ReThink works by .
A. reporting cyberbullies to software developers
B. not allowing users to send insulting messages
C. making users think about the messages they plan to send
D. converting hurtful messages into positive messages

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 36 to 42.
A Plastic Ocean is a film to make you think. Think, and then act. We need to take action on our dependence on
plastic. We've been producing plastic in huge quantities since the 1940s. [A] Drink bottles, shopping bags, toiletries
and even clothes are made with plastic. [B] We live a world full of plastic, and only a small proportion is recycled. [C]
What happens to all the rest? This is the question the film A Plastic Ocean answers. [D] Spoiler alert: the impact is
devastating.
The film begins as a journey to film the largest animal on the planet, the blue whale. But during the journey
the filmmakers (journalist Craig Leeson and environmental activist Tanya Streeter) make the shocking discovery of a
gigantic, thick layer of plastic floating in the middle of the Indian Ocean. This prompts them to travel around the world
to look at other areas that have been affected. In total, they visited 20 locations around the world during the four years
it took them to make the film. The documentary premiered in 2016, and is now on streaming services such as Netflix.

 It's very clear that a lot of research went into the film. There are beautiful shots of the seas and marine life.
These are contrasted with scenes of polluted cities and dumps full of plastic rubbish. We see how marine species are
being killed by all the plastic we are dumping in the ocean. The message about our use of plastic is painfully obvious.
But the film doesn't only present the negative side. In the second half, the filmmakers look at what we can do
to reverse the tide of plastic flowing around the world. They present short-term and long-term solutions. These include
avoiding plastic containers and disposable plastic products as much as possible. Reuse your plastic bags and recycle as
much as you can. The filmmakers also stress the need for governments to work more on recycling programmes, and
look at how technology is developing that can convert plastic into fuel.
We make a staggering amount of plastic. In terms of plastic bags alone, we use five hundred billion worldwide
annually. Over 300 million tons of plastic are produced every year, and at least 8 million of those are dumped into the
oceans. The results are disastrous, but it isn't too late to change. Once you've seen A Plastic Ocean, you'll realize the
time is now and we all have a role to play.
