The 24th SEA Games was held from 6th to 15th December, 2007 in three provinces in
Thailand, namely Nakhon Ratchsima, Bangkok, and Chon Buri. In fact, the 2007 SEA
Games was to be hosted by Singapore, but Singapore gave up the chance, as its new national
sports stadium is under construction and will not be completed in time for the next SEA
Games. Thailand was then asked by The SEA Games Federation to host this regional sport event in place of Singapore.

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 43 to 50.
It is not easy to choose a career today. Hundreds of students are leaving schools and
universities every year to seek employment in the various professions, though
employment opportunities are not increasing proportionately. As a result, there is a lot of unemployment.
The inability of the various professions to absorb all those seeking employment makes
the choice of a career more difficult. Before one leaves school or university, one has many
plans, confident that choosing a career will not be difficult. But when, the time comes to
choose a career, one finds that there are others with better qualifications waiting to enter the
same profession. Disillusioned, one then looks for any kind of employment. In this way,
many who wanted to become police inspectors or field assistants in the rubber estates
in this country, become teachers instead, and many who wanted to become teachers, have become shop assistants.
The lack of institutions where people could acquire the skills necessary for a particular
career makes the choice of a career even more difficult. For example, if one desires to
become a journalist, one has to receive some training and instruction in a school of
journalism. But if there is no such school, one is compelled to think of some other career.
