Question 23.

Read the following passage and mark the letters A, B, C, and D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.

As technology and culture rapidly evolve, so does the way people think, communicate, and live. This often creates a generation gap - a difference in attitudes, values, and behaviors between younger and older generations.

Teenagers today grow up in a world filled with smartphones, social media, and instant information. They tend to be more open to change and diversity, and they often communicate using digital tools. On the other hand, many older people prefer face-to-face conversations and hold more traditional values. These differences can sometimes lead to misunderstandings, especially when parents feel that their children are too dependent on technology, or when teens think their parents don't understand modern life.

However, the generation gap is not always negative. In fact, it can provide opportunities for learning. When young people share their knowledge of new technology, and when older generations share their life experiences and wisdom, both sides can grow. Respect and open communication are key to bridging this gap.

It's also important to remember that every generation has faced similar issues. Parents and grandparents once felt misunderstood by their elders too. What matters most is the willingness to listen and learn from one another. Instead of focusing on the differences, families should focus on shared values and goals.

Question 24. The word "evolve" in paragraph 1 has the OPPOSITE meaning of:

Question 25. The word "it" in paragraph 3 refers to:

Question 26. According to the passage, what is one reason that makes misunderstandings happen between parents and teenagers?

Question 28. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

Read the following passage and mark the letters A, B, C, and D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.

Sleep is a vital component of overall health and well-being, but not everyone requires the same amount of sleep. People generally fall into two categories: long sleepers and short sleepers. Long sleepers typically need around 9-10 hours of sleep per night to feel fully rested, while short sleepers function well on 5-6 hours of sleep.

Long sleepers are individuals who naturally require more sleep than the average person. They often feel the need for 9-10 hours of sleep each night to maintain optimal functioning. This need for extended rest can be due to a variety of factors, including genetic predisposition, lifestyle, and overall health. Long sleepers tend to have a slower sleep cycle, which means they spend more time in deep sleep stages, crucial for physical and mental restoration.

In contrast, short sleepers thrive on significantly less sleep. They typically require only 5-6 hours per night and wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day. Short sleepers often have a more efficient sleep cycle, spending less time in deep sleep stages but still managing to get sufficient rest. This efficiency allows them to function at high levels of productivity and alertness with less sleep. Some short sleepers attribute their ability to thrive on less sleep to genetic factors or a naturally higher level of energy and resilience. However, it is essential to note that not everyone can adopt a short sleeper lifestyle without experiencing negative effects on health and performance.

The amount of sleep one gets significantly impacts daily life and overall health. Long sleepers often find it easier to focus, maintain emotional balance, and perform physical tasks when they have had enough rest. They might struggle with schedules that do not allow for their required amount of sleep, leading to fatigue and decreased productivity. On the other hand, short sleepers can benefit from having more waking hours to engage in activities and responsibilities. Their ability to function well on limited sleep can be advantageous in demanding careers or busy lifestyles. Both long and short sleepers must pay attention to their sleep quality and overall health.
