Nomophobia, short for "no-mobile-phone phobia," is a modern phenomenon that affects
many people in today's digital age.
What is nomophobia? It is the irrational fear of being without one's mobile phone or
being unable to use it. This condition can cause anxiety and distress, and it highlights the
profound impact mobile devices have on our lives. The fear of losing or being separated from
one's phone is a growing concern. Some common situations that trigger nomophobia include
misplacing one's phone, running out of battery, or losing network signal. The fear intensifies
when people imagine not having their phones to contact friends and family, access the internet,
or use GPS for navigation.
Who easily suffers from nomophobia? Nomophobia is not limited to any age group and can
affect individuals of all backgrounds. It often becomes evident when people experience panic or
anxiety when they forget their phones at home or are unable to use them temporarily. Symptoms
may include restlessness, rapid heartbeat, sweating, and a sense of insecurity.
The roots of nomophobia lie in the convenience and connectedness that mobile phones
provide. These devices have become integral to our daily lives, serving as not just
communication tools but also cameras, entertainment hubs, personal organizers, and more. This
dependence on mobile phones can lead to a feeling of vulnerability when separated from them.

AVICII’S LIFE AFTER REHAB
Once he completed his month in rehab, Avicii seemed to have a new outlook on life. He
was meditating regularly, reading about the collective unconscious, and got a puppy. After not
performing for a long period of time, he returned to the stage in 2016 at Miami’s Ultra Music
Festival. It was announced a few days after this gig that he would not be performing live
anymore. Avicii chose to not perform so that he could focus on bettering his mental health.
Despite appearing to have new-found stability, Avicii still struggled to deal with his
mental health issues. While continuing to suppress the anxiety and depression that he
frequently felt, Avicii also started to become disinterested in his music career. During this
time, he was smoking and drinking on occasion which may have resulted in a resurgence of
his disassociation feelings.
He told Tereza Kacerova, his girlfriend at the time, “What if everyone around me is just a
projection in my mind? Sometimes I just think these things. About how nothing really
matters.”
Avicii started to focus heavily on meditation which he found to be helpful in clearing the
“nonsense” from his mind. He believed that a deep form of meditation taught by Maharishi
Mahesh Yogi was a way to exercise his brain which he had decided would lead to his
happiness. Despite this form of meditation typically being done in 20 minute increments,
Avicii would sometimes spend full days meditating in an attempt to reach enlightenment
faster.

Read the following passage about the urban shift 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 31 to 40.
DEPENDENCE ON TECHNOLOGY: TIME FOR CHANGE!
[I] Los Angeles dancer, Brian Perez, was eating out with his friends one evening when
suddenly everyone went quiet. [II] To his horror, he saw that the reason for this was that
people were checking their phones. [III] What if they all put their gadgets in a pile in the
middle of the table until they had finished the meal? [IV] If anyone picked up their phone, that
person would have to pay the whole bill. And so, it is said, the game of 'phone stacking' was
born.
The necessity for action like this highlights a major problem in today's society: our inability to
disconnect from technology. But while Brian's idea deals with the obsession in a social context,
measures also need to be taken at home. Some people drop their smartphones into a box the
moment they arrive home, which gives them the chance to interact with the people they live
with. The fact that the phone cannot be heard - it is on silent - nor seen - the flashing lights are
hidden by the box - means that they are no longer tempted to use it.
A less drastic solution is to ban electronic devices at certain times of day when the whole
family is likely to be together, for example at meal times. This can be hard for everyone, from
teenagers desperate to text friends to parents unable to switch off from work. On a normal day,
however, dinner takes less than an hour, and the benefits of exchanging opinions and
anecdotes with the rest of the family certainly makes up for the time spent offline.
Taking a break from technology is one thing, but knowing when to turn off a device is
another. Time seems to stand still in the virtual world, and before you know it, you find that it
is three o'clock in the morning. This is where a digital curfew comes in handy, a set time when
all devices must be put away. Evenings without technology are usually nice and peaceful and
make a more agreeable end to the day. And then it's time for bed. One of the best ways of
ensuring you can sleep at night is to ban electronic devices altogether from the bedroom.
Lying next to a machine bursting with information is far from relaxing, and the sounds it emits
during the night can easily wake you up. With technology out of the room, a line has been
drawn between daytime and sleep time, which enables us to switch off ourselves and drift
off to sleep.

A. people were willing to remove all their gadgets B. the prices for food were too
expensive
C. people were glued to their phones D. everyone seemed quiet by nature

If you’re new to running, or new to marathons, you might be worried about or even
fearful of the distance. And these feelings are completely understandable, given the fact that
more than 42 kilometres is a very long way. However, more and more people are taking on this
challenge every year, and for very good reasons.
Obviously, running such a long distance requires a lot of training, and the more you
train, the more your endurance will be enhanced. And of course, as you become more physically
active, your heart and muscles will be stronger, your blood circulation will improve, and you will
most likely get in shape in no time. Additionally, there are also mental and social benefits such
as feeling less stressed and more energized as well as having the chance to meet and establish
meaningful relationships with other people.
If you think about it, running a marathon is also a chance for personal development.
Everyone has at least one fear or insecurity, and for many people, completing a marathon race
can seem like an extremely daunting or even impossible task. Of course, it’s true that this is a big
challenge that requires commitment and perseverance. That being said, every time you step
outside out of your comfort zone and accomplish something new, you will grow stronger
and become more confident.
Sometimes, you can actually help many others when you run a marathon. Many runners
now combine their marathon goal with the goal of helping others by participating in races that
raise money for charity. Besides, running in such marathon races will most likely give you all the
motivation you need to get through the exhausting 42-kilometer run. After all, it’s quite difficult
to quit when you know that you are giving help to people in need.

Read the following passage about and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to
indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
Some people look at an equation and see a bunch of complicated numbers and symbols
while others see beauty [I]. Now, thanks to a new tool created at Carnegie Mellon University,
anyone can now translate the abstractions of mathematics into beautiful and instructive
illustrations [II]. This exciting new tool is named Penrose after the mathematician Roger
Penrose, who is famous for using diagrams and other drawings to communicate complicated
mathematical ideas [III]. Penrose enables users to create diagrams simply by typing
mathematical expressions and letting the software do the drawing [IV].
Unlike a graphing calculator, these aren’t restricted to basic functions, but can be
complex relationships from any area of mathematics. “Some mathematicians have a talent for
drawing beautiful diagrams by hand, but they vanish as soon as the chalkboard is erased,” said
Keenan Crane, an assistant professor of computer science and robotics. “We want to make this
expressive power available to anyone.”
Diagrams are often underused in mathematical communication, since producing high-
quality illustrations is beyond the skill of many researchers and requires a great deal of time and
effort. Penrose addresses these challenges by letting diagram-drawing experts turn their
knowledge about creating diagrams into computer codes so that other users can access this
capability using familiar mathematical language and a computer. “We started off by asking:
‘How do people translate mathematical ideas into pictures in their head?’” said Katherine Ye, a
Ph.D. student in the Computer Science Department who is involved in the development of
Penrose. “The secret sauce of our system is to empower people to easily ‘explain’ this
translation process to the computer, so the computer can do all the hard work of actually making
the picture.”
Once the computer learns how the user wants to see a mathematical object visualized –
a vector represented by a little arrow, for instance, or a point represented as a dot – it uses these
rules to draw several candidate diagrams. Users can then select and edit the diagrams they
want from a gallery of possibilities. A special, simple-to-learn programming language was also
developed so that they can easily convey the ideas in their minds to the Penrose system, Crane
said. “Mathematicians can get very picky about notations,” he explained. “We let them define
whatever notation they want, so they can express themselves naturally.”
The researchers will present Penrose at the SIGGRAPH 2020 Conference on Computer
Graphics and Interactive Techniques, which will be held this July. “Our vision is to be able to
dust off an old math textbook from the library, drop it into the computer and get a beautifully
illustrated book - that way more people understand,” Crane said, noting that Penrose is a first
step toward this goal.

Read the following passage about wildlife conservation 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.
Wildlife conservation is a crucial endeavor that aims to protect animal species and their habitats.
This effort is essential for maintaining biodiversity and ensuring the health of our ecosystems.
Human activities such as deforestation, pollution, and climate change are some of the primary
threats to wildlife. Conservation initiatives strive to mitigate these impacts through various
strategies.
One significant aspect of wildlife conservation is the establishment of protected areas. National
parks, wildlife reserves, and marine protected areas are created to provide safe havens for
endangered species. These areas not only protect wildlife but also offer opportunities for
scientific research and eco-tourism, which can benefit local economies.
Another important approach is the reintroduction of species into their natural habitats. This
method has been successful in bringing several species back from the brink of extinction.
Conservationists carefully monitor and support these reintroduced populations to ensure their
survival.
Education and awareness campaigns play a pivotal role in wildlife conservation as well. By
educating the public about the importance of biodiversity and the threats facing wildlife, these
campaigns foster a sense of responsibility and encourage community involvement in
conservation efforts.
Technological advancements are also aiding conservation efforts. Innovations such as satellite
tracking, DNA analysis, and drone surveillance help researchers gather critical data and monitor
wildlife populations more effectively. These tools enable more informed decision-making and
efficient conservation strategies.

Read the following passage about wildlife conservation 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 31 to 40.
[I] Wildlife conservation refers to the efforts made to protect and preserve wild animal species
and their habitats. [II] It is crucial for maintaining biodiversity, which plays a vital role in
ecosystem stability and health (Smith & Jones, 2018). [III] Unfortunately, many species are
threatened due to habitat destruction, poaching, and climate change, making conservation efforts
more urgent than ever. [IV]
One of the primary reasons for wildlife conservation is the preservation of biodiversity. A
diverse range of species contributes to ecosystem services, such as pollination, water
purification, and climate regulation. The loss of a single species can disrupt these services and
lead to ecological imbalances. For instance, the decline of pollinators like bees has serious
implications for food production and agriculture (Global Biodiversity Outlook, 2020).
Moreover, wildlife conservation has significant economic benefits. Many communities depend
on ecotourism, which relies on healthy wildlife populations and intact ecosystems. According to
a study by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), ecotourism can generate billions of dollars in
revenue, providing jobs and supporting local economies (WWF, 2021). Protecting wildlife not
only safeguards natural resources but also creates sustainable livelihoods for local populations.
However, effective wildlife conservation requires a collaborative approach. Governments, non-
governmental organizations, and local communities must work together to implement policies
and strategies that promote conservation efforts. Community-based conservation initiatives,
where local people actively participate in protecting their natural resources, have shown
promising results. These initiatives empower communities and ensure that conservation efforts
are tailored to local needs and contexts (Bennett & Dearden, 2014).
