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.
Social media networks are the places where you relax, learn interesting things, and show people who
you are. Social media users can choose what to show and what to hide, which could lead to the constant
desire to be popular and look perfect, known as the pressure of online recognition.
We always want to be like the people around us. On social media, we see the best parts of other
people’s lives — their vacations, their career success, even their stunning selfies! It’s easy to get
frustrated if you don’t have similar career achievements or post remarkable selfies as they do. This can
make you want to be more impressive online and show off all the time.
Social media even keeps a score of your posts and comments! Every like, comment, and follower
becomes a number that results in daily pressure. It’s tempting to think that the more popular you are on
social media, the better you are as a person. This can make you focus on being liked instead of being
yourself.
All those kinds of pressure can be toxic for us. Wanting to be popular online can make people
stressed, upset, and unsure of themselves. Trying to seem perfect all the time isn’t real, and it gets
exhausting for many people. Sometimes, the best thing to do is to take a break! The bottom line is that
you mustn’t let social media control you. It’s vital not to compare yourself with others all the time and
just focus on being you. You’d better spend time having real-life fun with other people to experience true
happiness instead.

Question 35. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as one of the things you can do on social media?
A. learning B. working
C. expressing yourself D. entertaining
Question 36. What do users often try to do on social media?
A. Play sports B. Be popular and look perfect
C. Be quiet D. Hide from their friends
Question 37. The word remarkable in paragraph 2 is OPPOSITE in meaning to _______ .
A. impressive B. unfamiliar C. creative D. ordinary
Question 38. The word their in paragraph 2 refers to _______ .
A. the best parts B. vacations C. other people D. lives
Question 39. What is a good idea when social media becomes stressful?
A. Try to get more followers B. Take a break and enjoy real life
C. Look at other people’s posts more D. Post more pictures
Question 40. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Social media is beneficial for personal development if we can take advantage of it.
B. The more followers a person has, the more genuine they appear to others.
C. Social media can lead people to seek approval rather than being authentic.
D. Many tend to show off on social media but some prefer to hide themselves.
