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 31 to 35.
We're all faced with difficult problems on a regular basis. In fact, sometimes you might feel like you'll be
crushed by the weight of your problems. But how many of us use special creative problem-solving
techniques to tackle these problems? "I didn't know there were special techniques," you say. Believe it or
not, many experts have given a lot of thought to the problem of problem solving.
The obvious first step to solving a problem is to churn out possible solutions, right? Well, some experts
say that the first thing you should do is define the problem in detail, even if it seems obvious. Write the
problem down on a piece of paper and start asking yourself questions about it: Why is this a problem for
me? What is the source of the problem? What will happen if I don't solve the problem? What do I really
want to accomplish? Keep asking questions until the well has run dry.
Once you've asked these questions and answered them, potential solutions may start popping up like
popcorn. Or they may not. If you're still stuck, some experts recommend going for a walk. That's right-
you should literally walk away from the problem. A change of scenery can inspire new ideas, and not
focusing on the problem can actually open your mind to new possibilities.
If you still come up empty-handed at this point, you might try an unusual technique that some experts
recommend. Open a dictionary, or any book or magazine, and pick out the first word you see. Write down
anything that word makes you think of. Then look at your problem again. Something that you've written
down may change your perspective and help you see the problem in a different light.
(Adapted from Select Readings by Linda Lee and Jean Bernard)

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 36 to 42
A row of mangrove trees sticking out of the sand, exposed by low tide off Kutubdia island in the Bay of
Bengal, is all that remains of a coastal village that for generations was home to 250 families. The villagers
were forced to flee as their land, which had been slowly eroding for decades, was finally engulfed by the
ever-rising tide five years ago. For the embattled people, the distant trees serve as a bittersweet reminder
of what they have lost. They also act as a warning of what is to come.
UN scientists predict some of the worst impacts of climate change will occur in south-east Asia, and that
more than 25 million people in Bangladesh will be at risk from sea level rise by 2050. It is well known
that many of the countries most vulnerable to climate change are among those who contribute to it the
least, and here that’s certainly true. The carbon footprint of Kutubdia’s 100,000 islanders is small - most
do not even have access to a regular electricity supply. But they fear that for them, time is already running
out.
So far, members of the fishing community of Ali Akbar Dail, perched precariously on a strip of coast
next to the embankment, have learnt to adapt to the many natural disasters thrown at them. When the
cyclones hit, they hoist their children on to their shoulders and head for the network of cyclone shelters.
These shelters, along with the country’s early warning system, have dramatically reduced fatalities.
However, after a year that they say has brought more - and more powerful -storms than before, the
fishermen are engaged in a battle for survival against their only asset: the ocean.
Scientists say the sinking of islands in the Bay in Bengal is due to natural and possibly man-made climate
change. Erosion linked to storm surges, for instance, predate global warming. But sea surface
temperatures, linked to sea level rise, have risen in the Bay of Bengal. In a report published last month,
scientists said they believed the higher surface temperatures in the Indian Ocean were causing cyclones
to increase their frequency and intensity.
