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.
Every student dreams of an ideal school -a place where learning is engaging, teachers are
supportive, and the environment is conducive to personal growth. However, reality often falls short of
these expectations. A recent survey conducted among high school students revealed that only 30% feel
their school meets all their desired criteria. The main concern for many is the lack of engaging teaching
methods. Traditional lecture-based classes dominate, leaving little room for interactive and practical
learning. Additionally, students expressed a desire for more extracurricular activities to foster holistic
development.
Furthermore, the survey highlighted a need for better teacher-student relationships. Many students
feel their teachers are detached and unapproachable, which hampers their academic and personal growth.
On the infrastructure front, over 50% of the students felt that their schools lacked modern facilities, such
as well-equipped labs and libraries. Safety and hygiene were also major concerns, with several students
reporting inadequate measures in place.
Despite these shortcomings, some positive aspects were noted. A significant number of students
appreciated the diverse cultural environment of their schools, which they felt enriched their learning
experience. Nevertheless, it is evident that there is ample room for improvement to make schools more
aligned with students' expectations and needs.
Question 39: Which could be the best title for the passage?
A. Is your School just As you Want it to Be?
B. Can Teachers Live up to your Expectations?
C. Schools and Ways to Promote Teacher-Student Relationships
D. School as Learning Community

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.
When you feel down, turning to self-help books might seem like a good solution. But new research
suggests it probably won't make you feel much better. Consumers of self-help books are more susceptible
to stress and show more depressive symptoms than those who don't read such literature, University of
Montreal psychologists found.
This small-scale study was conducted on 30 people. Half of the participants said that they read
self- help books and half did not. The self-help consumers were divided into two categories based on two
broad types: problem-oriented self-help books that discuss the nature of personal challenges as well as
means of addressing these challenges, and growth-oriented books that promote inspirational messages
about life and happiness. All participants were tested for mental health traits like openness, self-discipline,
depressive symptoms.
The results show that readers of problem-focused self-help books had the greatest depressive
symptoms, while those who read growth-oriented material had greater stress reactivity - the tendency of
our body to respond to stressful situations by releasing stress hormones, which can lead to changes in the
body like faster heartbeat or increased blood pressure-than non-readers. To put it simply: those who read
self-help books were more depressed and stressed out.
There's one important question here: does high stress reactivity and a tendency towards depression
lead people to read self-help books, or does reading self-help books result in stressful or depressive
feelings? Catherine Raymond, the study's lead author, said both are possible. "We would need to perform
an experimental study to have an unequivocal answer for this question." Still, the results showed that
reading self-help books did not correlate with qualities like self-discipline, emotional stability and self-
esteem. So even if reading those kinds of books isn't making things worse, it certainly doesn't seem to
make things better.
"Readers should take time to inform themselves about the authors of the self-help books that they
wish to read," Raymond said. "For instance, some self-help books that we call 'bibliotherapy books' are
written by health professionals, clinicians and scientific researchers and contain scientifically proven facts
about many subjects. We would suggest readers to go for these."
