Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
WORK IN AN AUTOMATED FUTURE
Disruptive technologies are now dictating our future, as new innovations increasingly blur
the lines between physical, digital and biological realms. Robots are already in our operating rooms
and fast-food restaurants; we can now use 3D imaging and stem-cell extraction to grow human bones
from a patient's own cells; and 3D printing is creating a circular economy in which we can use and then
reuse raw materials.
This tsunami of technological innovation will continue to profoundly change how we live and
work, and how our societies operate. In what is now called the Fourth Industrial Revolution, technologies
that are coming of age - including robotics, nanotechnology, virtual reality, 3D printing, the Internet of
Things, artificial intelligence and advanced biology - will converge. And as these technologies continue
to be developed and widely adopted, they will bring about radical shifts in all disciplines, industries and
economies, and in the way that we produce, distribute, consume and dispose of goods and services.
These developments have provoked anxious questions about what role humans will play in a
technology-driven world. A 2013 University of Oxford study estimates that almost half of all jobs in the
United States could be lost to automation over the next two decades. On the other hand, economists such
as Boston University's James Bessen argue that automation often goes hand in hand with the creation
of new jobs. So which is it - new jobs or massive structural unemployment?
At this point, we can be certain that the Fourth Industrial Revolution will have a disruptive impact
on employment, but no one can yet predict the scale of change. So, before we swallow all the bad news,
we should look at history, which suggests that technological change more often affects the nature of
work, rather than the opportunity to participate in the work itself.

[I] Movement and exercise make us feel good, but why? The answer offered by science journalist
Caroline in her book Move!: The New Science of Body Over Mind goes deeper than well-known factors
like the release of hormones and highlights how our bodies and minds are connected in ways we may
not even realize.
Caroline explains that our body is constantly processing signals from the world. At the same
time, it sends signals to the brain about the state of our bodies. [II] Although we may not recognize it,
our moods and feelings are closely linked to how our bodies are functioning. If our body is
communicating to our brain that we are sedentary, that might create feelings of depression or
anxiety, insecurity or uncertainty. In contrast, a lifestyle with more movement could create positive
changes that, when passed along to the brain, give us a sense of confidence and positivity.
According to Caroline, our brain evolved partly to help us move. For early humans, movement
meant the ability to run away from danger and seek food. Therefore, when it has nothing to oversee, we
suffer. In fact, our brains reduce capacity when we move less, slowly removing cells from brains like
the hippocampus – the center of memory formation. Meanwhile, the emotional benefits of movement
are well-documented. [III] In other words, the strength in our muscles may dictate our strength and
confidence.
In her book, Caroline offers some ideas for various forms of movement that have different kinds
of physical, mental, and cognitive benefits. In addition to strength training, walking, and running, we
can try tai chi and group exercises to tap into feelings of connection with others. Moving to music can
also create that sense of connection and allow us to get lost in the rhythm and escape negativity. [IV]

and make us feel more capable of facing emotional challenges."

Question 32. The word "sedentary" in paragraph 2 is OPPOSITE in meaning to
A. indifferent B. dispassionate C. unmoved D. active
Question 33. According to paragraph 2, which of the following is NOT a feeling of a sedentary lifestyle
as communicated by the body to the brain?
A. depression B. insecurity C. positivity D. anxiety
Question 34. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?
A. Movement is necessary for avoiding negative emotional states and contributing to brain
function.
B. Physical inactivity causes the brain to function less effectively, making it possible to avoid
anxiety or uncertainty.
