the correct answer to each of the questions from 29 to 33.
Staying in hotels and resorts has been a traditional part of travel since the beginning of mass
tourism. But nowadays, many tourists want a more intimate experience. For this reason, they are
choosing to ‘go native’. This often means staying in the kinds of places that local people inhabit. In
big cities, you can try staying with the friend of a friend. You may end up sleeping on the couch or
the floor, but the advantages outweigh the discomfort. The biggest plus is that you’ll be staying
with a local and seeing the city from a local perspective.
Another is option house-swapping. Several websites allow you to connect with people who
want to trade living situations. It’s usual to exchange emails about favourite places in the city
before the swap, meaning you can have a truly local experience. But of course, you can only do
this if you don’t mind having strangers staying in your house.
For the more adventurous, staying a native structure in an African village or a hut on the
water in Vietnam or Thailand can be a real thrill. These might not even include plumbing or
electricity, and that is part of the charm. The experience of dealing with oil lamps and carrying
water really gives you a sense of how the people live.
No matter how unadventurous you feel, you might want to consider crossing hotels off
your list. Getting to know the local way of life is the most valuable part of travel. And what better
way is there to do this than staying where the local people actually live?
(Adapted from Solution - Third Edition by Tim Falla and Paul A. Davies)

C. It is more comfortable than staying in hotels and resorts.

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 34 to 40.
One of the factors contributing to the intense nature of twenty-first-century stress is our continual
exposure to media – particularly to an overabundance of news. If you feel stressed out by the
news, you are far from alone. Yet somehow many of us seem unable to prevent ourselves from
tuning in to an extreme degree.
The further back we go in human history, the longer news took to travel from place to
place, and the less news we had of distant people and lands altogether. The printing press
obviously changed all that, as did every subsequent development in transportation and
telecommunication.
When television came along, it proliferated like a poplulation of rabbits. In 1950, there were
100,000 television sets in North American homes; one year later there were more then a million.
Today, it’s not unusual for a home to have three or more television sets, each with cable access to
perhaps over a hundred channels. News is the subject of many of those channels, and on several of
them it runs 24 hours a day.
What’s more, after the traumatic events of Sptember 11, 2001, live newcasts were paired
with perennial text crawls across the bottom of the screen – so that viewers could stay abreast of
every story all the time.
Needless to say, the news that is reported to us is not good news, but rather disturbing
images and sound bytes alluding to diasater (natural and man-made), upheaval, crime, scandal, war,
and the like. Compounding the proplem is that when actual breaking news is scarce, most
broadcasts fill in with waistline, hairline, or very existence in the future. This variety of story tends
to treat with equal alarm a potentially lethal flu outbreak and the bogus claims of a wrinkle cream
that overpromises smooth skin.
Are humans meant to be able to process so much trauma – not to mention so much overblown
anticipation of potetial trauma – at once? The human brain, remember, is programmed to slip into
alarm mode when danger looms. Danger looms for someone, somewhere at every moment. Exposing
ourslves to such input without respite and without perspective cannot be anything other than a
source of chronic stress.
(From: The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Beating Stress by Arlene Matthew Uhl – Penguin Group 2006)

Question 36: The word “it” in paragraph 3 refers to ______.
A. development B. degree C. nature D. television

A. fascinating B. upsetting C. boring D. exciting

A. Many people are under stress caused by the media.
B. The only source of stress in our modern life is the media.
C. Many TV channels supply the public with breaking news.
D. The news that is reported to us is not good news.
Question 39: The word “slip” in paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. bring B. fail C. fall D. release
Question 40: What is probably the best title for this passage?
A. The Media - A Major Cause of Stress B. More Modern Life - More Stress
