WHY PEOPLE WORK
All of us know that we have to work hard to earn a living ourselves and to support our family. However, we work not only for material life but also for many things that are beyond gaining money. We are working to affirm our ability on a certain field. We feel self-reliant, self-confident, and proud because we are financially independent.
Anyone who works is regarded as a useful member of society. We are working that means we are contributing useful goods and services to our country.
Working helps us train our skills and talents. We always try our best to do a good job. The better we work, the more money we earn and that motivate us to work harder. Without working, a man’s life will be empty, purposeless and meaningless and it is easy for a lazy jobless man to do wrongs.

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 1 to 5 .
Successful students often do the followings while studying . First , they have an overview before reading . Next , they look for important information and pay greater attention to it ( which often needs jumping forward or backward to process information ) . They also relate important points to one another . Also , they activate and use their prior knowledge . When they realize that their understanding is not good , they do not wait to change strategies . Last , they can monitor understanding and take action to correct or " fix up " mistakes in comprehension .
Conversely , students with low academic achievement often demonstrate ineffective study skills . They tend to assume a passive role , in learning and rely on others ( e.g.., teachers , parents ) to monitor their studying , for example , low - achieving students often do not monitor their understanding of content ; they may not be aware of the purpose of studying ; and they show little evidence of looking back , or employing " fix - up " strategies to fix understanding problems . Students who struggle with learning new information seem to be unaware that they must extent effort beyond simply reading the content to understand and remember it . Children with learning disabilities do not plan and judge the quality of their studying . Their studying may be disorganized . Students with learning problems face challenges with personal organization as well . They often have difficulty keeping track of materials and assignments , following directions , and completing work on time . Unlike good studiers who employ a variety of study skills in a flexible yet purposeful manner , low - achieving students use a restricted range of study skills . They cannot explain why good study strategies are important for learning ; and they tend to use the same , often ineffective study approach for all learning tasks , ignoring task content , structure or difficulty .
