and the first thing they would inspect was our bed. It was a simple task, but
every morning we were required to make our bed to perfection. It seemed a
little ridiculous at the time, but the wisdom of this simple act has been proven
to me many times over. If you make your bed every morning, you will have
accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride
and it will encourage you to do another task and another. By the end of the
day, that one task completed will have turned into many tasks completed. If

A job search is not a passive task. When you are searching, you are not
browsing, nor are you “just looking”. Browsing is not an effective way to reach
a goal you claim to want to reach. If you are acting with purpose, if you are
serious about anything you chose to do, then you need to be direct, focused
and whenever possible, clever. Everyone else searching for a job has the
same goal, competing for the same jobs. You must do more than the rest of
the herd. Regardless of how long it may take you to find and get the job you
want, being proactive will logically get you results faster than if you rely only
on browsing online job boards and emailing an occasional resume. Leave
those activities to the rest of the sheep.

a. It is a passive and relaxed activity.

e. It is about following what everyone else is doing.

2. Why does the passage suggest that merely browsing is not effective for a job search?
a. Because browsing is the best way to find hidden opportunities.
b. Because it doesn't show commitment to the job search.
c. Because only a few people use browsing as a method.
d. Because employers don't value candidates who just browse.
e. Because browsing allows for multitasking during the search.

3. What does the passage say about the competition in a job search?
a. There is little to no competition in the job market.
b. Only a handful of people are competing for jobs.
c. Most people are passive in their job search methods.
d. Every job seeker is aiming for different goals and jobs.
e. Everyone else is vying for the same positions you are.

4. How can one distinguish themselves from other job seekers according to the passage?
a. By relying solely on online job boards.
b. By being more proactive than others.
c. By waiting for the right job to come to them.
d. By following the trends and doing what others do.
e. By emailing as many resumes as possible.

Many people view sleep as merely a “down time” when their brain shuts off
and their body rests. In a rush to meet work, school, family, or household
responsibilities, people cut back on their sleep, thinking it won’t be a

The whole of human society operates on knowing the future weather. For
example, farmers in India know when the monsoon rains will come next year
and so they know when to plant the crops. Farmers in Indonesia know there
are two monsoon rains each year, so next year they can have two harvests.
This is based on their knowledge of the past, as the monsoons have always
come at about the same time each year in living memory. But the need
to predict goes deeper than this; it influences every part of our lives. Our
houses, roads, railways, airports, offices, and so on are all designed for the
local climate. For example, in England all the houses have central heating,
as the outside temperature is usually below 20°C, but no air­conditioning, as
temperatures rarely go beyond 26°C, while in Australia the opposite is true:
most houses have air­-conditioning but rarely central heating.

e. It enables airlines to plan their routes and schedules effectively.

2. How many monsoon rains do farmers in Indonesia anticipate each year?


a. The farmers in Indonesia prepare for four monsoon rains each year.
b. Indonesian farmers typically expect one significant monsoon each year.
c. There are two anticipated monsoon rains in Indonesia annually.
d. Indonesian farmers remain unsure about the number of monsoons each year.
e. The farmers there rarely rely on monsoons for their farming activities.

3. What informs the farmers in India about when to plant crops?


a. They rely solely on traditional practices passed down generations.
b. They consult modern technological weather forecasting tools.
c. The expected arrival of the monsoon rains guides them.
d. They take advice from agricultural experts in their region.
e. They base their decisions on the soil's moisture level.

4. How do housing designs reflect local climates as per the passage?


a. Houses in England predominantly feature swimming pools because of the heat.
b. Australian homes are built with thick insulation to combat the cold.
c. Most houses in Australia have air-conditioning due to the higher temperatures.
d. English homes frequently have open layouts to allow cool breezes.

Our ability to accurately recognize and label emotions is often referred
to as emotional granularity. In the words of Harvard psychologist Susan
David, “Learning to label emotions with a more nuanced vocabulary can
be absolutely transformative.” David explains that if we don’t have a rich
emotional vocabulary, it is difficult to communicate our needs and to get
the support that we need from others. But those who are able to distinguish
between a range of various emotions “do much, much better at managing the
ups and downs of ordinary existence than those who see everything in black

being.
