“Siri, save a life?”

For most iPhone users, Siri is a timesaving tool. But for one Australian
mum, Siri is a lifesaver. Stacey Gleeson swung into action when she realized
that her one--‐ year--‐ old daughter Giana stopped breathing. She put Giana on the
floor, checked her airways and began to revive her. But in the rush, she had
dropped her phone. Thankfully, it had voice activation. Gleeson yelled “Hey Siri,
call the ambulance” and within minutes paramedics were on their way. Baby
Giana responded to treatment and is now happy and healthy again.

Given how mobile phones are inseparable from our daily lives, there seems to be an app in the
market for almost every situation, including (9) anxiety. But are they really effective?
Dr Yee (10) that technology-based mental health aids does have its place. “Although
there is no evidence that mobile apps can help people with social anxiety, internet-based Cognitive
and Behavioural Therapy (CBT) showed that it is (11) effective than being on a waiting
list, and not so different from face-to-face treatment in improving anxiety and reducing symptoms,”
she says.
(12), on the subject of video games, there have been some studies looking into the
possibility (13) prescribing video games as a form of therapy for mental conditions. “There
is no scientific evidence that video games can help in (14) and managing social anxiety. In
fact, there are studies which found that adolescents and children (15) have an addiction to
video games ended up with increased levels of depression, anxiety and social phobia,” says Dr Yee.

Questions 26 – 31 are based on the following passage

Two daughters pay tribute to their father who is retiring as a teacher after 40 years.

1 We were always asked what it was like to be the children of parents who were teachers.
People expected to hear that we lived under strict conditions with no time for play. And
worse, if we ever dared bring home poor results from school, we would be severely punished.
It seemed like the only reason to explain our straight A results in school. It also didn’t help
that our father See Koon Suan has earned a reputation as a strict teacher. When peers from 5
our father’s school find out whom our father is, they know not to mess with us. Yes, our father
was strict with us but he also made sure we were given every single opportunity to succeed —
sacrificing his personal needs to ensure we had the best upbringing and education.

2 Our father didn’t grow up in privilege, unlike us. He saw his father work three jobs 10
to support the family. His whole family shared a room in a house. But he succeeded
nonetheless despite the circumstances and was admitted to a teaching college where an
illustrious 40-year career awaited him.

3 And he was not one to rest on his laurels. We watched him spend many nights feverishly
marking his students’ homework. But despite the workload from teaching his core 15
subject English, he also initiated the school marching band and even founded the IT Club
during the 1990s, back when floppy disks were still in use.

4 It was clear that he was deeply committed to his school, and above all, his students. He was a
discipline teacher feared by his students. Grooming them to be useful citizens was his top
agenda other than educating them academically. Not only was he a great teacher at 20
school, he was also a great teacher at home. He taught us about the Internet. We remember the
excitement from hearing the dialling tones our phone used to make while it tried to connect to
the World Wide Web and being thrilled at being allowed to use the mouse to click on the various
icons on the screen. Ju Vin remembers the computer games he used to bring home. The computer
games taught us skills like touch typing, enabling us to average a typing speed of 110 words per 25
minute. This skill proved to be extremely valuable in our current careers. There was also a game
around American history and another on solving a series of puzzles to hunt a fugitive around the world,
which really opened our eyes to the world beyond Malaysia’s soil.

5 He also used to bring us on various trips to Kuala Lumpur, Penang and Genting 30
Highlands which again, took us to a world beyond our small town of Kuantan when we were
little. With our father’s help, we also created a website while still in primary school. It was a
very exciting time for us as we were the only ones we knew at the time who could call
ourselves web developers — even if it was just a website about Britney Spears!

6 He was always our go-to tech guy as he would be able to fix all sorts of problems with our 35
computer and various gadgets around the house. When we were growing up, he would give
advice on which laptop or mobile phone to buy, all while elaborating the specifications of each
choice, which were alien to us at the time.

9
SULIT 1119/2

7 He taught us to swim. Ju Vin remembers how he would make her swim towards him in the
local public swimming pool all the while inching further and further away from her. The 40
greater distance she was pushed to swim only made her a stronger swimmer. He taught us time
management. “Never be late” rang constantly in our house. We always had to be early, if not
on time, for all of our appointments. He taught us to speak proper English. He used to correct
us whenever we peppered our conversations with lah’s on the telephone with friends. It was
annoying to have your father listen in on your conversations 45
but later we realised he was just worried that our written English would degrade as a result.

8 He taught us that hard work will lead us to places. Ju Vern remembers being 12 and
telling her friends with dead certainty that she was going to attain a scholarship to
study abroad. That level of confidence could only have come from the m a n y conversation 50
over the dinner table where he would have said, “If you studied hard, a scholarship should be
within your reach.” He also taught us football. There was no other team better than Manchester
United and no football manager better than Sir Alex Ferguson. “A father is neither an anchor to
hold us back, nor a sail to take us there, but a guiding light whose love shows us the way”. 55

9 Happy Retirement, Papa. After 40 years, you definitely deserve a long and enjoyable
break.

Ju Vern and Ju Vin are See Koon Suan’s daughters who are grateful for the upbringing they’ve had,
even if they wished their father could have been a little less grumpy.

32 Read the following poem and answer the questions that follow.

The Living Photograph

My small grandmother is tall there,
straight-back, white broderie anglaise shirt,
pleated skirt, flat shoes, grey bun,
a kind, old smile round her eyes.
Her big hand holds mine,
white hand in black hand.
Her sharp blue eyes look her own death in the eye.

It was true after all that look.

My tall grandmother became small.
Her back round and hunched.
Her soup forgot to boil.
She went to the awful place grandmothers go.
Somewhere unknown, unthinkable.

But there she is still,

in the photo with me at three,
the crinkled smile is still living, breathing.
