and/or customers can interact back; providing feedback as just one example. Social media can be
used to advertise; placing an advert on Facebook's Newsfeed, for example, can allow a vast
number of people to see it or targeting specific audiences from their usage to encourage
awareness of the product or brand. Users of social media are then able to like, share and comment
on the advert, becoming message senders as they can keep passing the advert's message on to
their friends and onwards. The use of new media put consumers on the position of spreading
opinions, sharing experience, and has shift power from organization to consumers for it allows
transparency and different opinions to be heard.

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.
The word laser was coined as an acronym for Light Amplification by the Stimulated
Emission of Radiation. Ordinary light, from the Sun or a light bulb, is emitted spontaneously, when
atoms or molecules get rid of excess energy by themselves, without any outside intervention.
Stimulated emission is different because it occurs when an atom or molecule holding onto excess
energy has been stimulated to emit it as light.
Albert Einstein was the first to suggest the existence of stimulated emission in a paper
published in 1917. However, for many years, physicists thought that atoms and molecules always
were much more likely to emit light spontaneously and that stimulated emission thus always
would be much weaker. It was not until after the Second World War that physicists began trying
to make stimulated emission dominate. They sought ways by which one atom or molecule could
stimulate many other to emit light, amplifying it to much higher powers.

A. the appearing of laser B. the medical use of laser
