Passage 2: Reading Comprehension

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 36 to 45.

The rise of internet technology has revolutionized how human beings communicate, study, and entertain themselves. In the past, staying in touch with relatives living far away required handwritten letters that took weeks to deliver, or expensive landline phone calls. Today, social media networks and messaging applications allow people to send instant messages and carry out face-to-face video calls across the globe within seconds.

For teenagers, digital devices such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones have become indispensable educational tools. Online learning platforms offer interactive courses, informative videos, and digital libraries covering almost every academic subject imaginable. Students can complete assignments, collaborate with classmates on group projects, and receive immediate feedback from teachers without ever stepping into a traditional classroom. Moreover, modern software enables pupils to acquire new languages by interacting with native speakers via virtual exchange programs.

However, the rapid spread of modern technology is not without its disadvantages. Medical experts warn that spending excessive hours staring at illuminated screens can lead to serious health problems, including severe eye strain, poor posture, and persistent sleep disturbances. When youngsters spend most of their leisure time playing video games or scrolling through social media feeds, they frequently neglect physical exercise and face-to-face social interactions. This sedentary lifestyle may increase the risk of obesity and make teenagers feel increasingly isolated.

Another major concern is online security. Many adolescents fail to realize that posting personal details, photos, or geographical locations on public forums can expose them to cyberbullying and identity theft. Therefore, educators strongly advise teenagers to use social networks responsibly. Young users must learn to protect their privacy by setting strong passwords, verifying the authenticity of information before sharing it, and limiting their daily screen time so that they can maintain a healthy balance between virtual life and the real world.

Câu 36. What is the primary topic of the passage?

Câu 37. According to paragraph 1, how did people communicate with distant relatives in the past?

Câu 38. The word "indispensable" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.

Câu 39. According to paragraph 2, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a benefit of digital learning?

Câu 40. The word "they" in paragraph 3 refers to ______.

Câu 41. According to paragraph 3, a sedentary lifestyle caused by excessive screen time can lead to ______.

Câu 42. The word "disturbances" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.

Câu 43. According to paragraph 4, why is sharing personal information publicly dangerous for adolescents?

Câu 44. Which of the following is recommended by educators in the final paragraph?

Câu 45. What can be inferred from the whole passage?
