sheet to indicate the option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 18 to 22.
Is Teenage Life Truly Better Today?
It is not unusual for teenagers to voice their frustrations to their parents, whether about outdated
laptops or the fact that their friends own superior bicycles. Predictably, (18) : tales of a childhood
without computers or video games, where even receiving a second-hand, oversized bike at sixteen was
considered a privilege.
Undeniably, life for today’s teenagers has changed dramatically. With smaller family sizes now
becoming common, parents are able to allocate more resources to each child. Furthermore, the cost of many
goods has decreased in comparison to previous generations, (19) .
Among the most profound changes we have witnessed (20) . Forty years ago, few could have
envisioned a world filled with tiny computers, tablets, and smartphones - devices that have since become
indispensable. Indeed, it is now almost impossible to imagine daily life without them.
Nevertheless, while technology has brought undeniable convenience, it has also contributed to a more
isolated lifestyle. Teenagers, increasingly absorbed in their screens, often spend more time indoors and,
consequently, engage in less physical activity. (21) . Moreover, although friendships remain important,
many argue that young people today are less sociable, preferring online interactions over face-to-face
communication.
(22) . However, these benefits are accompanied by significant drawbacks. Whether life is truly
better remains, therefore, a complex and personal question.

Question 18. A. teens often share memories from their parents’ youth
B. such complaints are often met with stories from the past
C. teens usually complain silently to their friends
D. most parents ignore the topic and change the subject
Question 19. A. which makes it harder for most families to buy such luxurious things
B. that causes some families to spend more than expected on luxuries

D. allowing young people to access items previously regarded as luxuries

B. On the other hand, young people nowadays have been more athletic than ever before
C. With the aim of improving health, it has made teens more engaged in outdoor activities
D. In addition, young people desire to take more physical exercise than they did in the past
Question 22. A. Modern teens generally face a lot more serious hardships but some enjoy a fairly easy
lifestyle

Read the following passage about AI and education 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.
Degrees in the Age of AI: Rethinking the Value of Higher Education
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to reshape the global workforce, a growing number of young
people - particularly from Generation Z - are questioning the true value of a university degree. With AI now
capable of performing tasks once reserved for trained professionals, such as basic coding, data interpretation,
and content creation, many fear that their academic qualifications are becoming obsolete even before they
enter the job market.
Earning a degree was once seen as a guaranteed gateway to stable employment and upward mobility.
Today, however, that certainty has been replaced by anxiety - especially in light of the soaring cost of
education. In the U.S., the average cost of a bachelor’s degree exceeds $38,000, contributing to a national
student debt crisis nearing $2 trillion. Understandably, over half of Gen Z and 41% of millennials surveyed
feel that higher education may no longer be a worthwhile investment. Alarmingly, 38% of graduates believe
that student loans have hindered their careers more than their degrees have helped.
The job market appears to be shifting as well. Over 50% of job listings on platforms like Indeed no
longer require a formal degree, signaling a growing emphasis on real-world skills, adaptability, and
technological literacy - particularly in using AI tools effectively.
Nonetheless, university education still holds intrinsic value. It cultivates critical thinking, fosters
leadership, and offers opportunities for personal and professional growth that extend far beyond
the classroom. The challenge now is ensuring that academic programs evolve to equip students with the
kinds of human-centered, creative, and strategic skills that AI cannot replicate.
Ultimately, the question is no longer whether to pursue higher education, but how to do so in a way
that ensures long- term relevance in an AI-driven world.
Question 23. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentioned as a job that has been done
by AI?
A. basic coding B. content creation C. data interpretation D. operating on patients

A. tasks B. professionals C. young people D. academic qualifications
Question 25. The word “soaring” in paragraph 2 is OPPOSITE in meaning to .
A. dwindling B. surging C. increasing D. elevating
Question 26. The word “hindered” in paragraph 2 is CLOSEST in meaning to .
A. advanced B. improved C. impeded D. facilitated
Question 27. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Over half of Gen Z believe that attending college may not be worth the cost.
B. Most employers still require applicants to have formal university degrees.
C. The cost of attending college in the U.S. has dropped in recent years.
D. Artificial intelligence has not yet replaced any professional-level tasks.
Question 28. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. A university education develops critical thinking, promotes leadership, but narrow down growth
opportunities beyond the classroom.
B. Higher education helps students grow as individuals and leaders while preparing them for
future success in both career and life.
C. Obtaining a degree delays critical thinking, diminishes leadership, and offers growth
opportunities beyond the classroom.
D. Higher education hinders personal growth and leadership, limiting students' career and life success
to academic achievements.
Question 29. In which paragraph does the author discuss the thing that has delayed over a third of graduates’
careers?

 Why One-Sided Conversations Are Harder to Ignore
In modern life, mobile phones have become ever-present, shaping not only how we communicate, but
also how we experience public spaces. [I] One overlooked consequence of this constant connectivity is the
mental disruption caused by overhearing phone conversations. [II] Unlike typical background chatter, hearing
only one side of a phone call often feels irritating
- and more difficult to ignore. [III] But what makes it so distracting? [IV]
Researchers at the University of San Diego sought to answer this question through a carefully
designed experiment. Volunteers were asked to complete word puzzles while researchers played scripted
conversations in the background. Some participants overheard two people speaking to each other in the same
room, while others heard only one side of a mobile phone call. The results were clear: those exposed to the
one-sided phone calls reported greater difficulty concentrating, and they remembered the conversations more
vividly afterward.
Why would hearing just half a conversation be more disruptive than hearing a full one? According to
Dr. Rosa Vessal, a lead researcher, our brains are naturally drawn to incomplete information. When we
overhear a phone call, we lack the full context, which triggers our attention and curiosity as we try to
mentally fill in the blanks. This mental effort, even if unconscious, takes away from our ability to
focus on other tasks.
The findings are not just about annoyance - they raise important concerns about attention and safety.
In environments that require concentration, such as classrooms, offices, or even cars, overheard phone
conversations could pose a real risk. For example, a distracted driver trying to process a loud phone call
nearby may be less alert and slower to react.
Ultimately, this research highlights the invisible ways in which our actions affect those around us.
Being aware of how something as ordinary as a phone call can interfere with someone’s thinking is the first
step toward more mindful communication. In an age where attention is increasingly fragmented, creating
quieter, more respectful environments benefits everyone.
