THE IMPORTANCE OF READING
Reading is good for us. In fact, there is a great (41)______ of evidence that reading for
pleasure is more than just another leisure pursuit - it actually improves our mental and physical
health. Reading extended texts such as novels or biographies, (42) _______ requires intense
concentration for a considerable period of time, helps to lengthen attention spans in children
and improves their ability to think clearly. (43) _______, experts say it is essential to acquire
the habit of reading extensively as a small child, while the brain is still developing.
Reading can undoubtedly be beneficial to our mental well-being. Reading not only helps
combat feelings of loneliness, it also allows people to (44)______ down and forget their
problems for a while. The concentration required during the act of reading seems to ease
muscle tension and slow the heart rate. Researchers have found that just six minutes of reading
can (45) _______ stress levels by as much as two-thirds.

Cyberbullying is the use of technology to harass, threaten, embarrass, or target another
person. Cyberbullying can be easy to spot-for example, if a child shows you a text, or response
to a status update on Facebook that is mean, harsh, or cruel. Other acts are less obvious, like
pretending to be a victim online or posting personal information, photos, or videos designed to
hurt or embarrass another person. Some also report that a fake account or webpage has been
created with the only intention to harass and bully.
Because many kids are reluctant to report being bullied, even to their parents, it's impossible to
know just how many are affected. But recent studies about cyberbullying rates have found that
about 1 in 4 teens have been the victims of cyberbullying, and about 1 in 6 admit to having
cyberbullied someone. In some studies, more than half of the teens surveyed said that they've
experienced abuse through social and digital media.
No longer limited to schoolyards or street corners, modern-day bullying can happen at home as
well as at school - essentially 24 hours a day. As long as kids have access to a phone,
computer, or other devices (including tablets), they are at risk. Severe, long-term, or frequent
cyberbullying can leave both victims and bullies at greater risk for anxiety, depression, and
other stress-related disorders. In some rare but highly publicized cases, some kids have turned
to suicide.
Cyberbullying can be in various forms. They may include being emotionally upset during or
after using the Internet or the phone; withdrawal from family members, friends, and activities;
avoiding school or group gatherings; changes in mood, behavior, sleep, or appetite; wanting to
stop using the computer or cellphone or avoiding discussions about computer or cellphone
activities.
Parents need to be aware of cyberbullying and learn more about how to deal with it. This
modern type of bullying has become part of their child's life. Staying involved in kids' cyber
world, just as in their real world, can help parents protect them from its dangers.

Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

They say, "A jack of all trades is a master of none." However, this age-old belief is no longer
applicable in this new era as juggling many jobs or multiple careers become a rising trend.
A career is commonly perceived as a job we commit to for a long time or even for life. In this
sense, multi-careers mean taking on more than one job at a time or sequentially pursuing
different occupations that suit our abilities during different phases in life. Proponents of slash
careers argue that humans are born with more than one ability, and thus pursuing a single
profession or focusing on a single career means diminishing other available yet less frequently
used abilities. "Should humans operate like single-task machines for a lifetime?" they wonder.
The growing ubiquity of the internet has reshaped human life, which sets the stage for
multiple careers. It also paves the way for different types of work which can be coordinated
through the internet, such as remote work and gig work. Some typical internet-generated jobs
include tech-based drivers, freelancers, and digital content creators.
The idea of pursuing what we love and earning multiple streams of income out of it has yet to
become popular among the majority of the population. Freedom often comes at the price of a
more unstable working life. There is a more abundant labor supply as many people land
multiple jobs simultaneously for long periods. It results in either a cheaper labor cost or a
lower level of employee commitment from an employer's perspective.
In short, multiple careers are promising but will come with pains and struggles. We should
avoid turning this wonderful trend into another form of self-exploitation just so we can jump
on the bandwagon. Career - or careers - whatever you choose it to be, should be based on what
you believe in and on what makes you fulfilled

According to passage 2, people advocate the idea of multiple careers
because________.

Jack is in a shoe store.
- Jack: "Can I try this shoe in a smaller size, please?"
- Salesperson: “________”

She graduates from college two years ago and has been working as an engineer ever since
