Jordan
Living in an extended family with both my parents and grandparents was a bittersweet
symphony of love and tradition. The comfort of having a large, close-knit family was
unparalleled. I felt loved by not two but four people who truly cared about me, which made me
grow into a very self-confident man. I also learned to accept and appreciate the ideas and
points of view of two different generations before me. Of course, there were times when I
would have wanted a little more privacy and alone time. I also missed a little more flexibility
since my grandparents’ stricter views were an influence on my parents. But despite these
occasional frustrations, the warmth and support of a multi-generational home, filled with
laughter, debates, and shared meals, enriched my life in ways I wouldn’t trade for anything.
Leah
My parents divorced when I was a baby, and my mum left, so I grew up with just a dad. It didn’t
feel unusual until I started school and realised that most of the other kids had mums. Then I
started wondering why I didn’t have one. I felt unwanted and jealous of the other kids who had
one. I was angry with my mum for leaving and my dad for not keeping her. The other problem
was that he had to work long hours to provide for me, so he couldn’t come along to school
events like sports day and nativity plays. He was often too tired to spend time with me at home.
I can’t remember us ever playing, doing homework, or preparing a meal together. From a
young age, I had to do things that my friends never had to do, like preparing meals and grocery
shopping, so I certainly learned how to be independent. But at the same time, I was lonely and
angry. However, as I got older, I realised how hard he worked to keep me in a comfortable life,
and he inspired me always to try my hardest, too.
Question 29: Why does Jordan think he became a self-confident person?
A. He was the only child in the house.

If you love chocolate, maybe you have eaten a bar of Cadbury’s Bournville chocolate. But
Bournville isn’t just the name of an English chocolate bar. It’s the name of a village which was
built especially for workers at the Cadbury’s chocolate factory.
George and Richard Cadbury took over the cocoa and chocolate business from their father in
1861. A few years later, they decided to move the factory out of the centre of Birmingham, a
city in the middle of England, to a new location where they could expand. They chose an area
close to the railways and canals so that they could receive milk deliveries easily and send the
finished products to stores across the country.
Here, the air was much cleaner than in the city centre, and the Cadbury brothers thought it
would be a much healthier place for their employees to work. They named the site Bournville
after a local river called ‘The Bourn’. ‘Ville’, the French word for town, was used because at the
time, people thought French chocolate was the highest quality. The new factory opened in
1879. Close to it, they built a village where the factory workers could live. By 1900, there were
313 houses on the site, and many more were built later.
The Cadbury family were religious and believed that it was right to help other people. They
thought their workers deserved to live and work in good conditions. In the factory, workers
were given a fair wage, a pension and access to medical treatment. The village was also
designed to provide the best possible conditions for workers too. The houses, although
traditional in style, had modern interiors, indoor bathrooms and large gardens. The village
provided everything that workers needed including a shop, a school and a community centre
where evening classes were held to train young members of the workforce.
Since the Cadbury family believed that their workers and their families should be fit and
healthy, they added a park with hockey and football pitches, a running track, bowling green,
fishing lake, and an outdoor swimming pool. A large clubhouse was built in the park so that
players could change their clothes and relax after a game. Dances and dinners were also held
here for the factory workers, who were never charged to use any of the sports facilities.
However, because the Cadbury’s believed that alcohol was bad for health and society, no pubs
were ever built in Bourneville!

Aleksandr Zhadan’s use of ChatGPT on Tinder signals a growing trend of AI in
online dating, leading to a surge in AI-driven fraud. The industry, largely controlled by a few
companies, has been slow to address these issues. AI’s increasing sophistication poses
challenges in distinguishing genuine interactions from those managed by bots or AI-
generated images.Since ChatGPT’s launch, fraudulent activities on dating apps have increased
significantly, with a 2,000% rise in bot attacks within a year. Fraud was already prevalent, and
many users became victims of scams, resulting in a cost of $1.14 billion to the U.S. public in
just one year.
Safety concerns extend beyond financial fraud, with stalking, assault, and even
murder being reported by dating app users. Despite these risks, the author argues that
dating apps have societal benefits, such as promoting diverse connections.
To combat fraud, dating apps could implement AI for fraud detection and introduce
safety measures for real-life meetings. However, the industry’s response has been minimal. The
market dominance of Match Group and Bumble, controlling most of the market, has led to
little innovation and high prices.
The author calls for regulatory intervention to hold companies accountable and
encourage competition. Without significant changes, the future of the industry and the well-being
of millions of users are at stake.
Question 30: What does the word those in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. challenges B. interactions C. images D. bots
Question 31: What are the primary concerns associated with the rise of AI in online dating, as
mentioned in the passage?
A. Increased user engagement and better matches
B. Higher subscription costs and limited app features
C. Surge in AI-driven fraud, safety risks such as stalking and assault, and financial scams
D. Improved security measures and better fraud detection techniques
Question 33: What does the word prevalent in the passage mostly mean?
A. widespread B. rare C. artificial D. uncertain
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to

Building Relationships
Building and maintaining strong relationships has always been crucial in business,
and even in the 21st century, the most effective way to achieve this is through in-person
interactions. While social networking sites like LinkedIn are valuable tools for nurturing
existing relationships, they cannot replace the impact of face-to-face communication.
Whether you're attending a large conference or participating in a casual game of
golf, it's essential to engage with those around you, as they might be able to assist you
professionally.
Many individuals struggle with balancing professionalism and socializing, often missing out
on the benefits of effective networking. To help, we have prepared a concise guide on the
dos and don’ts of networking.
Firstly, remember that first impressions are crucial; you will be judged by your
appearance, body language, and what you say. Present yourself as you want to be seen,
but this doesn't always mean wearing a formal suit. Dress appropriately for the event. For
instance, if you are meeting a group of young advertising executives, a more casual outfit
might be suitable. A bit of research beforehand can ensure you are dressed appropriately.
While first impressions matter, what you say is equally important. Avoid diving
straight into business talk. Instead, break the ice with some small talk, steering clear of
sensitive topics. These informal conversations help you get to know the person better,
which can be very useful later on. Building rapport is essential, and you can do this by
showing genuine interest and occasionally agreeing with their viewpoints, but avoid
overdoing it to prevent appearing insincere.
In crowded settings, even if you find someone you enjoy talking to, it’s often more beneficial
to mingle and meet as many people as possible. Ensure you exchange business cards
before moving on to the next person to maintain the connection.
Some private organizations have started arranging networking events specifically
tailored to connect professionals within a particular field or at a specific career level. These
Question 34: Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?

A. worsen the situation B. avoid interaction
C. establish rapport D. create tension
Question 36: The word rapport in the passage is closet in meaning to _________.
A. argument B. agreement C. relationship D. disagreement
Question 39: What should you do before moving on to the next person in a networking event?
A. Agree with everything they say B. Swap contact information
C. Start a conversation with business D. Dress less formally
Question 40: It can be inferred about networking events arranged by private organizations that
_____.
