answer to each ofthe questions from 39 to 43.

Device-centred communication has become almost universal over the past twenty years. More than three

quarters of people in the world now own a mobile device, and more than half communicate via social

networking.

It is now hard to imagine a world without mobile devices consisting of such things as mobile phones,

laptops andtablets. They allow us to stay in touch with a lange network of friends, no matter where they are.
But many experts say that communicating with a device is nothing like talking with someone in person.

*Body language, eye contact and tone of voice can tell us so much," psychologist Mary Peters says. And
none of those exist on a device. Even video chat removes many subtle clues,"

We don't know to what extent these technologies will permanently change the way people interact.

People will always want to neet

pwith others in small and large groups. Indeed, it is fair to say that social

media mnakes it easier than ever before for people to organise social events. However, there is still a danger

that device-centred communication may have a nogative long-term impact on the way people interact with

cach other on a dayt0-day basis.

We must not, therefore, lose sight of the need to focus on the actualpeople around us, and remember that

they
descrve our real - not virtual - attention. The idea of a culture where people always have a screen
between them sounds a bit funny, because deep understanding comes when we see the reactions on other
people's faces.

Read the followin8passage and mark the letter A, B. C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate Ihe correct

answer toeach of the questions from 44 to 50.

Arecent survey into how teenagers in a Southeast Asian country spend their free time has come up with
what some people regard as a surprising finding: many of those surveyed reported that they would rather stay

at home and do things indoors than go out and experience real-life adventures. One in four teenagers
Surveyed believed that online experiences were as fuiilling as real life, and more than half were actually
atraid of trying new experiences. When asked about their most memorable experience over the previous ten
months, nearly 30% of boys said "playing a new video game', while 10% of all teenagers said it was

watching a new TVseries. On asking for more detailed information, researchers found that 20% of boys and
22% of girls said they had never had a real-life adventure.

It would be easy to blame technological advances for these findings. After all, today's teenagers have
many more indoor activities to choose from than did their parents. About half a century ago, children were
expected to spend mnore of their free time outside. But researchers do not put the blame wholly on technology.

To members of older generations, these findings are worrying, because it means that young people
increasingly rely on virtual reality and are consequenty missing out on real outdoor activities such as
mountain climbing, kayaking, etc., which have always been regarded as both enjoyable and character
building. The surveyed adults said they thought today's youth were more protected than they had been when

they were growing up. Giving examples of this protection, more than half said they would not let their
teenage children hitchhike or go on holiday without an adult. Seven in ten said they would not even allow
teenagers toget into a taxi on their own. It is not clear whether adults believe the world is more dangerous
than it used to be or whether they do not trust today's youngsters to look after themselves.
