The story of Android vs IOS is a long and storied tale. While people might like using the IOS more, it’s
undeniable that Android has been killing it in the market share arena.
This is important because developers want to be the first ones on the biggest platforms so that their apps can
draw the largest possible audience. While many would argue that the best apps are currently on IOS, it might not
be this way for long.
Here is a chart of mobile company profits that illustrates the market share battle between IOS and Android,
as well as other interesting tidbits along the way.

Passage 2
SEOUL – Pedestrians glued to their smartphones were given something else to look at this week, as officials in
Seoul launched a safety campaign to keep them from walking into busy traffic.

A sign advising pedestrians of the dangers of using smartphones while walking has been displayed at an
intersection in central Seoul since June 22, 2016.

In a bid to reduce the number of people either stepping carelessly into oncoming traffic or slamming each other
on the sidewalk, officials in Seoul – one of the world’s most wired cities – have begun installing the first batch of
300 warning signs this week in five locations across the capital.
“We picked locations with the highest number of young pedestrians since the majority of smartphone users are in
their teens to their 30s,” Kim Ooc-Kyeong, a Seoul city official in charge of the project, told AFP on Wednesday.
Some signs are attached to traffic light poles and depict a person looking at his smartphone as he is about to be
hit by a car.

But given that the target audiences are people who wouldn’t look up from their screens to see such warnings,
other signs have been plastered on the actual sidewalk.
But neither type of warning seemed to have registered with locals interviewed at lunchtime by AFP.
Seoul plans to monitor the effectiveness of the signs until the end of the year before deciding whether to expand
the project.

Passage 1
A crew of researchers is working on a Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) project aimed at
learning why Minnesota’s moose are dying in such great numbers. Glenn DelGiudice, an adjunct associate
professor in the University of Minnesota’s Department of Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology, leads the
portion of the study that focuses on calves.
Out in the field, his students take turns swinging a VHF receiver antenna to pick up the staccato mortality
signal from a calf’s radio collar. The collar had gone into “mort mode” at 4.13 p.m. the day before, meaning the
animal hadn’t moved in six hours. On the previous day, the calf and its mother had moved, though not much – they
were probably foraging on the lake shore. Then the tracking data changed. The mother appeared to race deep
into the woods, then returned to the stationery calf, then hurry back and forth again.
“This is where I think trouble happened,” graduate student Bill Severud had said back at the field station.
He pointed to lines superimposed on a Bing map on his computer. “She came back to the kill site a second and a
third time.” The tracks on the screen appear to tell a tale of panic and sorrow.
It’s late June, the sun strong. The forest seems filled with hot breath. DelGiudice and crew follow the shore
toward the far end of the lake, where the collar is still transmitting. Then Tom Enright calls, “We got our kill site!”
Wading carefully through the sedges, they find a scapula, a chip of rip, an ear tag, and a pile of ripe digested
browse and milk with the remains of the calf’s stomach. “Oh, nice!” DelGiudice says with startling enthusiasm. “Not
much is left! You can imagine wolves converging on them out here – (the moose) sinking in the muck!”
A call comes from the end of the lake. Tom Enright and volunteer Ben Butler have found part of the skull
and jaw, cleaned of meat. The radio collar lies nearby, where a wolf likely dropped it.

For these scientists, piecing together the final hours of the one calf’s life is part of much larger effort to
understand the precipitous decline of Minnesota’s moose population, which, by some estimates, could drop to
zero in this decade. Through previous studies, they know the moose are dying at unsustainable rate. But they don’t
know why – or how to stop it.

39. What is the purpose of the DNR project?

1) To study wild life habitat 2) To learn why the moose are dying
3) To do environment research 4) To understand moose behavior
5) To test new tracking equipment

40. Who is the team leader?

1) Glenn DelGuidice 2) Bill Steverud
3) Tom Enright 4) Ben Butler
5) Greg Breining

41. What were the calf and its mother probably doing on the shore?
1) Fighting enemies 2) Enjoying the sun
3) Looking for food 4) Having fun
5) Seeking shelter

42. Which of the following would NOT be included in the “tale of panic and sorrow” (line 17)?
1) The wolves attack the calf and its mother.
2) The calf gets torn apart into pieces.
3) The mother runs into the woods.
4) The mother comes back twice to the scene of the crime.
5) The calf and its mother are moving, but not much.

43. How does the scientist interpret the moment the collar shows “mort mode”?
1) The calf is dying. 2) The calf is moving slowly.
3) The calf is running. 4) The calf is eating.
5) The calf is resting.

Passage 2
Most European are, on average, at their happiest since the financial crisis. In 2008, 76% of EU citizens
said they were satisfied with their lives. That number is now 80%, according to the Eurobarometer survey, which
has tracked self-reported happiness for over four decades. Those in northern European countries, such as
Denmark and Sweden, are consistently the most content. But some countries have bucked the trend. According
to Ruut Veenhven, a professor at Eramus University in Rotterdam who has been analyzing data on happiness for
decades, people in Greece and Portugal have become gloomier over the past three decades (although they
have started to perk up over the past few years).
Some general themes stand out. According to Eurostat, the EU’s statistical office, the only metric
consistently correlated with European happiness is relative income. Moving one step up the income ladder
increases happiness in every country in EU; the difference in happiness between the bottom quintile and the
second quintile is the largest. European men tend to be slightly happier than women, though not in Britain or
Denmark. Those who go to university tend to be happier (not controlling for income).
But some big difference also emerge. Europeans are generally happier when they are younger.
However, richer countries see an uptick of joyfulness in old age: Germans are happier when they are over 75
years old than when they are between 25 and 34, and the Swiss are happier when they are over 75 than when
they are teenagers. (Britons, Swedes, and Danes are happiest when they are between 65 and 74.) The
Portuguese seem to have the worst mild-life crisis, whereas Greek, Bulgarians, Romanians and Slovenians all
become glummer as they get older.

Where and how Europeans live also determines their happiness. In all countries, people are least happy if
they live on their own. By the same token, in most countries those with children tend to be happier, with the
exception of Britain, Denmark, and Switzerland, where people tend to be happier when childless. Overall,
Europeans tend to be most content if they live in towns or suburbs as opposed to cities or rural areas. Northern

Europeans tend to be cheerier the farther they are from cities (and hence from other people). In most parts of
southern and eastern Europe, however, the opposite is true.
45. Which question is answered in paragraph 1?
1) Why are the Greeks and the Portuguese unhappy?
2) How was the Eurobarometer developed?
3) Why are European citizens satisfied with their lives now?
4) What was the result of the analysis of Professor Veenhoven?
5) How long did it take Professor Veenhoven to analyze the data on happiness for this study?

46. What can be inferred from paragraph 1?

1) Professor Veenhoven is the most reliable researcher for happiness data.
2) The Financial crisis had no effect on most Europeans.
3) People in northern European countries are happier than those in the south.
4) Erasmus university offers a lot of scholarships.
5) Greece and Portugal suffered the most from the financial crisis.

47. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?

1) Europeans are generally happier when they are younger.
2) German and Swiss people are happy when they are over 75.
3) Europeans in rich countries are happy when they are old.
4) There are big differences between the elderly and the youth.
5) Europeans in poor countries suffer when they are old.

48. According to paragraph 4, which of the following statement is TRUE?

1) People with children in all European countries are happy.
2) The Britons and the Danes without children seem happier.
3) Northern Europeans prefer living in big cities.
4) People in southern and eastern Europe like to live in suburbs.

Passage 3
Counterfeiting and piracy (together known as intellectual properly, or IP) cover an immense gamut: from
synthetic cinnamon to fake Louis Vuitton luggage to copied of the world’s most elaborately programmed computer
software. Some manufacturers and distributors are out-and-out hoodlums: investigations in America, Canada and
Sweden have linked biker gangs to counterfeit medicines. Others are cunning entrepreneurs who doubtless shrink
from other area of organized crime. A Chinese woman accused of selling fake branded luxury goods with worth
millions of dollars was found last year to be living in a quiet Californian suburb, studying for a university degree.

Measured by the number of customs seizures, footwear was the most affected industry in each of the three
years studies by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), from 2011 to 2013. Other
popular items to rip off included clothing, electrical equipment, leather goods and watches. The country that suffers
most from trademark infringement is, of course, America. Next is Italy, a country long notorious for making sham
product, but which is also home to many of the world’s most envied brands.

Globalization has enabled traffickers to run rings round officialdom, says Candice Li, vice-president of the
International Anti-Counterfeiting Coalition (IACC), a lobby group. “There isn’t an international legal or enforcement
framework with which to confront the problem,” she says. Counterfeiters can make parts in one country, assemble
a product in a second and package it in a third – without stepping outside the law in any of them.

Even when laws are broken, the risks are slight. “Nobody is sitting in jail for taking fake shampoo or stock
cubes across borders”, says Hans Schwab, the founder of Illicit Trade Minor, a website. Drug trafficking
organizations in South America are starting to move towards the counterfeiting of consumer products because it
is more lucrative, and there is no need for bribes or fast boats or planes.

Establishing the origins of internationally traded counterfeit or pirated goods is not easy. Distributors go to
great lengths to zig-zag around the world. A consignment of counterfeit versions of Avastin, a cancer drug, found
in America in 2012 had travelled through Turkey, Switzerland, Denmark and Britain. Free-trade zones are
particularly favored as transit points –as are poorly governed or war-torn countries.
