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 34 to 38.
Lots of people enjoy online shopping. You don't have to sit in traffic jams or wait at bus stops or at train
stations. You don't have to collect your product because they deliver it right to your door. But shopping
online isn't all great - you need to be very careful when deciding what to buy and where to buy it. Here are
some tips. Firstly, Use a secure connection. The easiest way of making sure the connection is secure is to
look for the lock sign in the address bar. Another is to look at the start of the website address. If this starts
with 'https’, there is a secure connection because the letter ‘s' means ‘secure'. If you see “http” without 's’,
don't enter the website. It could be a false website that is trying to steal your personal information.
Secondly, use a secure payment method. Only shop on sites that offer secure payment methods like credit
cards and other payment systems. This gives you protection in a situation where you and the shop
disagree- the shop can't say you did anything illegal, like using another person's credit card to pay. Banks
usually contact you if they think something is wrong. Thirdly, create a strong password. It's usually a good
idea to change your passwords every few months. Also, try to use a different password for different online
shopping sites: once someone guesses one’s password, they can get access to everything you do online.
Finally, check other customers’ comments. Always check the seller's history when using online sites. You
can get an idea by looking at other buyers’ comments. If you are not sure about a product, you can always
send the seller a question and the good sellers will reply fairly quickly.

the correct word for each of the blanks from 39 to 43.
Coming second: pleasure or pain?
Every ambitious athlete hopes to fulfil their dream of winning a gold medal at the Olympics. (39)
______, not everyone can win, and often talented athletes must accept second place. A team of
psychologists recently (40) ______ some research on the emotional responses of those finishing second.

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 44 to 50.
While most people think of the prototypical geek when describing computer programmers, the field is
becoming more diverse as more people enter the field, attracted by high salaries. However, successful
software developers are intelligent, abstract thinkers who are good at mathematics and logical reasoning. A
programmer must be able to pay attention to details, since as Sean Tierney, an IT manager at an Internet
start-up, notes, “Abstract thinking is needed, not ambiguous thinking. You have to be able to pay attention
to details. A misplaced comma will stop the application from functioning.”
Software development is still a male-dominated field. The current programming culture is still known for
relaxed attitudes towards time-keeping and dress codes, not to mention a distaste for authority. The
combination of high salaries and high demand allows these professionals to have more control over their
working conditions. “Managing programmers is like herding cats” is a common expression in the industry.
Contrary to the geek stereotype, communication skills both written and verbal are very important. Good
software engineers employ clearly defined specifications and well documented code so that future
programmers will have a clear understanding of what has already been done. A typical dot-com will have
only a few software engineers because of high costs. Therefore, a staff programmer may be called upon to
represent and explain technical requirements to other staff, clients, and partners.
The salaries are quite high in this field, ranging from $50K to $120K+, depending on years of
experience, educational background, range of languages and skills, management level (such as
development leader), and industry. Note that start-ups may pay significantly less than banks or other major
corporations; and consultants may earn significantly more than their full-time, one-company counterparts.
Nevertheless, many employees prefer to work at lower-paying dot-coms and software development houses
because they prefer a more relaxed, egalitarian company culture. No matter how what industry, benefits
include stock options and bonuses, although these also vary from place to place.
(Adapted from Essential Reading for Ielts)

A. a person who is intelligent B. a person who is not fashionable
C. a person who is hard-working D. a person who is bad at behaving

A. employees B. dot-coms C. houses D. counterparts

A. They don’t need to get involved hard in the job competition.
