Read the following passage about human life expectancy 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.
 In the UK, comprising England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, jokes and tricks can be played until noon on 1 
April. After midday it's considered bad luck to play a trick. Anyone who forgets this and tries a joke in the afternoon becomes 
an 'April Fool' themselves.
 So, what kind of jokes do people play? Well, a simple example would be telling your friend that their shoelaces are 
undone. Then, when they bend down to do them up, you shout, 'April Fool!', and they realise their shoelaces are fine. 
 Maybe it's not your kind of humour, but watch out, there's always someone who will find it funny! In Ireland, a popular 
prank is to send someone on a 'fool's errand'. The victim is sent to deliver a letter, supposedly asking for help. When the person 
receives the letter, they open it, read it and tell the poor messenger that they will have to take the letter to another person. This 
continues and the victim ends up taking the message to several different people until someone feels sorry for them and shows 
them what the letter says: 'Send the fool to someone else.'
 In France, Belgium, the Netherlands (or Holland), Italy and French-speaking areas of Canada and Switzerland, the 1 
April tradition is known as the “April Fish”. A common joke is to try to stick a paper fish onto a victim's back without being 
noticed.

Read the following passage about managing change 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.
 Growing up in Athens, Greece, Lydia Borsi remembers feeling tested when she tried to deal with mental health issues. 
 Borsi says she had been seeing a therapist for anxiety. But she notes that people in Greece do not openly discuss mental health 
 issues, which also get little attention in general healthcare services. “It was a lot more secretive. And people thought that I was 
 a lot more unique,” Borsi said.
 That all changed in 2017 when she moved to the United States to study at the University of Rochester in Rochester, New 
 York. “When I came here, I really liked that people were not afraid to speak up about mental health and say that it’s important,” 
 she said. The university was very supportive of her needs and offered plenty of information. She also became involved with a 
 school group called Active Minds that helps students deal with mental health issues. A Then due to the spread of the novel coronavirus, the University of Rochester had to move all its classes and some of its 
 mental health resources online. Luckily, Borsi was able to connect with a mental health expert outside the school, in the local 
 community. B
 But as many of her American friends returned home, Borsi was stuck. Greece had succeeded in limiting the spread of the 
 virus within its borders, but flights there from the U.S. are barred until July. Also, the health crisis has put her plans to seek 
 admission to medical school in Britain on hold. C And she is not alone.
 D In April, Active Minds launched a survey of over 2,000 students at U.S. colleges and universities. The study found that 
 over 80 percent of those asked said the coronavirus crisis had negatively affected their mental health. One in five said it has 
 affected them severely.
 Laura Horne, chief program officer at Active Minds, says the findings are especially troubling given that the crisis is only 
 going to make it harder for colleges and universities to help these students. “Colleges and universities had to pivot rather 
 quickly to respond to COVID-19 and figure out all facets of university life, including mental health services. Now they have 
 to figure out how to communicate with students,” Horne said.
 Frank Chen is a Houston, Texas-based psychiatrist who has worked with college-age young adults. He points out that 
 individuals at that age are in an important stage of their mental development. And college can be a difficult experience for 
 students with or without mental health issues, as they balance work, studies, and personal relationships. Adding a major world 
 event, like the spread of the coronavirus, makes it very difficult to predict what the long-term psychological effects might be. 
 “I don’t think that there’s another event in the history of the people who are alive now that can really measure up to 
 this,” said Chen.
31. Why did the writer start the article with Borsi’s story in the first paragraph?
 A. To criticize Greece’s general healthcare services for their little attention 
 B. To prove that people in Greece do not openly discuss mental health issues
 C. To introduce the mental test that Borsi had to take with a therapist in Greece

32. What did Borsi enjoy when she came to the United States?
 A. People avoiding talking about their problems
 B. People openly discussing mental health
 C. People saying mental health is not important
 D. People having no mental health problems
33. The word ‘barred’ in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to
 A. banned B. allowed C. encouraged D. delayed 
34. In which space (marked A, B, C and D in the passage) will the following sentence fit?
 Far from her family and unsure about the future, Borsi says dealing with the virus has not made her mental 
health problems any easier.
 A.A B. BC. C D. D
35. According to the passage, how has coronavirus crisis affected 20 percent of college students?
 A. It has had serious effects on their mental health. 
 B. It has had little effect on their mental health.
 C. It has suddenly caused them mental health issues.
 D. It has improved some of their mental health.

39. What does Frank Chen mean when he says, ‘I don’t think that there’s another event in the history of the people who 
are alive now that can really measure up to this’? A. He thinks that living people can never see the importance of historical events.
 B. He thinks that another event in a living person’s life can measure up to this one. 
 C. He thinks that this is a unique event that a living person has ever seen in their life.
 D. He thinks that this is the scariest event in the history of living people.
