VI. Reading Comprehension (14%)
[A]
In Asia, getting your high school diploma means one thing—it’s time to head straight to
university or into employment. However, in many western countries, particularly the UK, students spend a year between high school and university on a journey of discovery known as a gap year. There are many options for things to do during a gap year, from simply jetting off to paradise to do a bit of traveling or things that might be a bit more constructive. Let's take a look
at the choices available.
Some students choose not to interrupt their studies entirely during of a gap year. Rather, they take it as a time to get ambitious about some of their true passions while traveling at the same time. For example, students take a gap year as an opportunity to do a combination of traveling and studying the language of the place they are traveling to. There's no better way to gain fluency in foreign language than by fully immersing yourself in it.
Other students take part in something known as voluntourism," a mix of traveling and doing volunteer work. For instance, a student might travel to South Africa to work in an orphanage while visiting wild zoos and deserts. Still others treat a gap year wild as a working holiday. They work for a while, perhaps on an organic farm in Australia, and then move on to the next destination. It's a great chance to get some practical work experience and travel at the same time.
Basically, a gap year is what you make of it. Before you head off to your local travel agency to book your tickets, think seriously about what you want to get out of your gap year. It's a rare chance to grow as a person, travel the world, and gain unforgettable and invaluable experience. If this all sounds good, taking a gap year might be just what you need.
60. What is the main idea of the passage? (A) A gap year is not a valuable experience. (B) A gap year hurts your education.
(C) A gap year is a waste of time.
(D) A gap year can be beneficial.
61. What are the normal options for those finishing high school in Asia, according to the passage?
(A) Study a foreign language or travel. (B) Go traveling or do volunteer work. (C) Go traveling for a year or get a job.
(D) Go to university or get a job.
62. What is the purpose of this passage?
(A) To eliminate the bad idea of going into university. (B) To emphasize the correct choice of getting a job.
(C) To inform about options some take during their gap year.
(D) To warn against bad choices before attending universities.
Every day, millions of people click on Facebook to see what is happening amongst their friends around the world. Most of us may never have considered that this powerful social media could be used to help improve lives. Every day, organ transplants are performed, yet people waiting for organ transplants also die every day. Mark Zuckerberg, the co-founder of Facebook, wanted to help take down barriers. He believes that there are many people sitting on the fence thinking about whether or not to be a donor. With a little encouragement, they might make the decision that could rescue someone's life.
Donate Life America has launched a partnership with Facebook in hopes of changing the situation. Facebook users can go to their timeline where they can find a health and wellness section listed under Life Event. Users then have the liberty of typing in if they have decided to become a donor. They can even add a short story telling others why they decided to become a donor.
Sharing these decisions on Facebook increases the likelihood that friends and family will make the decision to be an organ donor as well. Although the Facebook pledge isn't an official agreement making you a donor, there are website links where you can make the pledge official. In addition, many patients who need organ donors are now using Facebook to get the word out. Dr. Andrew Cameron worked with Facebook to develop an app called "Donor." It teaches patients how to make a Facebook post that describes their disease and the experience of waiting for a donor. Users do not need to exclude anything from the post.
So far, many people have stories of getting around obstacles and finding donors through Facebook. Although Facebook doesn't get involved in promoting social agendas, it does see this as an opportunity for optimism and to help others.
63. What is the main idea of this passage? (A) It’s important to be an organ donor.
(B) Facebook is helping promote organ donors.
(C) What is required to be an organ donor?
(D) Encourage people to share their experience of being an organ donor. 64. What does "sitting on the fence" mean in the second paragraph?
(A) Stand on top of the fence so you can get a better view.
(B) Do not decide about what you want to do yet.
(C) Get a better perspective so you can see further away. (D) Make an important decision.
65. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
(A) Marking that you decided to be a donor on Facebook is an official agreement. (B) One cannot be a donor if he doesn't have Facebook.
(C) There are many people waiting for organ transplants.
(D) Facebook often promotes social issues.
66. Which step occurs first in posting your decision about being an organ donor on
Facebook?
(A) Go to the Life Event area on your timeline.
(B) Go to the health and wellness section on your timeline. (C) Type in your decision to become an organ donor. (D) Leave a story explaining your decision.
