The world of work is changing rapidly due to technological advances and shifting societal norms. In the
past, most people worked in factories or on farms, but today, many people work in offices or remotely.
Technology has created new jobs that didn't exist before, like social media managers, data analysts, and
app developers. It has also automated many traditional jobs, such as cashiers and assembly line workers.

While technology has made work more efficient, it has also raised concerns about job displacement. Some
workers worry that automation and artificial intelligence (AI) will take away their jobs. However, others
argue that new technology will displace new opportunities and help workers become more productive.

in communication technology. This shift has allowed workers to have more flexibility in balancing their
personal and professional lives. Some employees enjoy the ability to work remotely, while others miss the
social interaction that comes with working in an office.

In addition, companies are increasingly focusing on work-life balance and employee well-being. Many
organizations offer benefits like flexible hours, wellness programs, and mental health support. These
initiatives aim to reduce stress and help employees maintain a healthy balance between their personal
lives and work. As the world of work continues to evolve, it is important for workers to adapt to new
technologies and trends. Continuous learning and flexibility will be essential for success in the future job

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
best answer to each of the following questions.
Fashion in the 1960s reflected the cultural and political upheaval of the time. The hippie and counterculture
movement gave rise to accessories like Pocahontas-style headbands and medallions worn around the neck.
Hippies wore long, loosely fitting clothing, often in natural fabrics. Hemlines rose as Mary Quant
popularized the miniskirt and hot pants in her lines for JC Penney. And mod fashion, with brightly colored
space-age geometric patterns, shift dresses and colored tights became the mainstream. Both miniskirts and
mod-shift dresses were worn with knee-high go-go boots.

[I] During the 1970s, the loose-fitting hippie clothes of the prior decade gave way to exotic fabrics and
bell-bottom jeans for men and women. Hemlines continued to rise and hot pants continued their
popularity, reflecting the flashy style of the decade. However, the 1970s also saw the popularity of a
longer hemline, from mid-calf to ankle-length. [II] Women wore peasant-style clothing, especially
blouses with off-the-shoulder necklines and lace trim, with their jeans or skirts. [III] Disco fashion
emerged, featuring bright patterns and tightly fitting clothing meant to show off the body. Platform shoes
elevated their wearer, male or female, anywhere from two to four inches or more. [IV]

The 1980s saw another fashion upheaval. Angst-ridden punks wore Dr. Marten and steel-toed army boots,
chains, tartan patterns, and bondage pants. Punks focused more on their hair during this period, dying,
teasing and chopping their hair into asymmetric styles that seemed to defy gravity. Women—and men—
experimented with heavy eyeliner in a variety of colors. Women wore neon colors, jelly shoes, tight
jeans, leggings, leg warmers and oversized sweatshirts. Menswear-inspired looks also became popular
for both sexes. Men wore ‘power suits,’ named so for their price, which made these suits a reflection of
the wealth of the wearer. Women’s jackets featured big shoulder pads that made the shoulders appear
higher and larger, similar to the male silhouette.

1990’s fashion was far more subdued than the garish, wild styles of the 1980s. Bands like Nirvana
influenced the grunge look, which featured rock-concert tee shirts under plaid flannel shirts, jeans and
long, greasy hair. Overalls were worn by both sexes, either with one or both shoulder straps unhooked.
