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 following questions.
Tribal tourism is a relatively new type of tourism. It involves travelers going to remote destinations,
staying with local people and learning about their culture and way of life. They stay in local accommodation,
share facilities with local people, and join in with meals and celebrations. At the moment, less than one
percent of holidays are tribal tourism holidays, but this is set to change.
Tribal tourism is often compared with foreign exchange visits. However, a foreign exchange involves
staying with people who often share the same values. Tribal tourism takes visitors to places where the
lifestyle is very different from that in their home location. Those who have been on tribal holiday explain
that experiencing this lifestyle is the main attraction. They say that it offers them the chance to live in a way
they never have before.
Not everyone is convinced that tribal tourism is a good thing, and opinions are divided. The argument is
about whether or not it helps the local population, or whether it exploits them. The main problem is that,
because tribal tourism is relatively new, the long-term influences on local populations have not been studied
in much detail. Where studies have been carried out, the effects have been found to be negative.
So, is it possible to experience an exotic culture without harming it in some way? “With a bit of thought,
we can maximise the positive influences and minimise the negative”, says travel company director Hilary
Waterhouse. “The most important thing for a tribal tourist is to show respect for, learn about, and be aware
of, local customs and traditions. Always remember you're a guest.

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 following questions.
E-waste is being produced on a scale never seen before. Computers and other electronic equipment
become obsolete in just a few years, leaving customers with little choice but to buy newer ones to keep up.
Millions of tons of computers, TVs, smartphones, and other equipment are discarded each year. In most
countries, all this waste ends up in landfills, where it poisons the environment - e-waste contains many toxic
substances such as lead, mercury, and arsenic, that leak into the ground.
Recycling is the ideal solution to the problem. E-waste contains significant amounts of valuable metals
like gold and silver that make it attractive to recycle. In theory, recycling gold from old computers is more
efficient - and less environmentally destructive - than digging it from the earth. The problem is that a large
percentage of e-waste dropped off for recycling in wealthy countries is sold an diverted to the developing
world, posing an increasing threat to the health of the people there.
To address the problem of the international trade in e-waste, 170 nations signed the 1989 Basel
Convention, an agreement requiring that developed nations notify developing nations of hazardous waste
shipments coming into their countries. Then, in 1995 the Basel Convention was modified to ban hazardous
waste shipments to poor countries completely. Although the ban hasn't taken effect, the European Union,
where recycling infrastructure is well developed, has already written it into their laws. One law holds
manufacturers responsible for the sale disposal of electronics they produce.Companies like Creative
Recycling Systems in Florida, the USA, are hoping to profit from clean e waste recycling. The key to their
business is a huge, building-size machine able to separate electronic products into their component materials.
As the machine's steel teeth break up e-waste, all the toxic dust is removed from the process. This machine
can handle some 70,000 tons of electronics a year. Although this is only a fraction of the total, it wouldn't
take many more machines like this to process the entire USA's output of high-tech trash.
Unfortunately, under current policies, domestic processing of e-waste is not compulsory, and while
shipping waste abroad is ethically questionable, it is still more profitable than processing it safely in the
USA. Creative Recycling Systems is hoping that the US government will soon create laws deterring people
from sending e-waste overseas.

B. The USA's total e-waste output amounts to 70,000 tons.
C. Creative Recycling Systems has made a fortune from their recycling machine.
D. Shipping e-waste abroad yields greater profit than recycling it safely in the USA.
