Read the passage and complete tasks 16 - 18.
A South Korean TV drama series are among the most popular in the world. They come in a variety of
formats, including period pieces, crime shows, and romance. Millions of people in the East Asian region
watch them – online, on pirate DVDs, and on TV channels in their own countries. Outside Korea, the
countries with the biggest numbers of consumers of K-drama, as these TV shows are called, are China,
Taiwan, Indonesia, and Japan.
B One of the most popular of these series is Misaeng, which means Incomplete Life. The 20-episode
series has recently been climbing the ratings. It started at 1.6 percent and has risen to 5.15 percent. Every
Friday night, instead of going out with friends to celebrate the weekend, millions of office workers rush
home to watch Misaeng. People talk about K-dramas at work and on social media. If you haven’t been
watching, it’s easy to feel left out!
C The story of Misaeng is about Jang Geu-rae, an office worker in a large company. Jang used to be a
professional baduk player (baduk is a board game, a bit like chess, or Japanese Go), but he doesn’t have a
college degree, or impressive work experience, and cannot speak any foreign languages. But he works hard
and never gives up, and has been lucky to get a job in a company on a two-year contract.
D Misaeng is not the first K-drama to focus on office life, but it has become the most popular. It reflects
the reality of office life for many South Koreans, who struggle with short term contracts. These kind of office
workers are the main audience for Misaeng. They never know if they will be in the same company next year,
or even if they will have a job next year. They see themselves and their lives in the on-screen life of Jang
and his co-workers.
E Another very popular show, but very different, is the period piece Dae Jang Geum. This show is set
in the Joseon Dynasty (1392 to 1897) and it tells the story of a kitchen hand who becomes the first woman
doctor to the king in Korean history. The show gives accurate details of Korean cooking, traditional
medicine, costume, and other aspects of Korean history. The show has become the highest rated K-drama of
all time and is also hugely popular outside Korea. After the series, the number of Japanese and Taiwanese
Trang 4 / 6
traveling to historical sites in South Korea rose by 73%! There is even a website where people can get more
information about the food, the costumes, and the historical sites shown on the show.
Task 16: Choose the best answer for each question. Write A, B, C or D on the answer sheet. (0.4pt)
1. What is true about Misaeng?
A. Misaeng is the name of the main actor.
B. Misaeng has been shown for 20 years.
C. Misaeng is popular with temporarily-contracted office workers.
D. Misaeng has always been struggling with its reducing ratings.
2. What is not true about Dae Jang Geum?
A. Dae Jang Geum takes place outside Korea.
B. Dae Jang Geum is about the first woman royal doctor in Korea.
C. Dae Jang Geum is a period drama.
D. Dae Jang Geum is popular in Japan and Taiwan.
Task 17: Choose the phrases that best explain the underlined words in the passage. Write A, B, C or
D on the answer sheet. (0.4pt)
1. pirate
A. someone who sails in a ship B. illegally copied
C. someone who attacks ships D. officially broadcast
2. feel left out
A. feel one is not part of the group B. not understand the story
C. feel depressed D. not feel well
Task 18: Answer the following questions. Write your answers on the answer sheet. (0.4pt)
1. What are different types of Korean TV drama series?
2. According to the passage, when was the Joseon Dynasty founded?

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.

Millions of people are using cellphones today. In many places, it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cellphones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication - having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.

The explosion in mobile phone use around the world has made some health professionals worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.

On the other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones. Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree.

What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.

As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often.

Question: According to the passage, cellphones are very popular with young people because _______.

A. they make them look more stylish

B. they are worrying

C. they are a means of communication

D. they are considered unusual

Facebook is a for-profit online social media and social networking service. The Facebook website was launched on February 4th, 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg, along with fellow Harvard College students and roommates. Since 2006, anyone age 13 and older has been allowed to become a registered user of Facebook though variations exist in minimum age requirement, depending on applicable local laws.

Over 25 million people in the Uk use Facebook. That’s 45% of population! And on average, each user spends over six hours a month on Facebook. Though not the highest this is a considerable number. Is Facebook is a dangerous obsession or just harmless fun? Seventeen- year-old Bethan has written on her blog about what it was like to stop using Facebook.

I think I am a Facebook addict. I log on to Facebook everyday to chat to my friends real friends and loads of online friends. Sometimes I have ten conversations going at the same time. I upload photos and update my Facebook profile all the time. But recently I’ve started to feel worried if I am offline for more than a few hours. And then last week I forgot to meet a real friend because I was online! I’ve realised I could have a problem. So I’ve decided to give it up for a while.

I found it really hard. Facebook and my friends demanded to know why I had left. I spent the first few evenings wondering what everyone was chatting on Facebook. I even phoned a couple of friends to find out.

The fourth night I wasn’t quite so bad. I actually concentrated on my homework better and I had more time to watch my TV programmes. And I spoke to my friends during the day at school. At the end of the first week, I reactivated my account, I think Facebook is fun and it’s useful for posting messages to friends and sharing photos. But I’ll try not to spend so much time on it in the future.

Question: Which of the following is NOT true about Facebook users in UK?

A. 45% of the country’s population used Facebook.

B. More than 25 millions of Brits use Facebook.

C. The amount of time British users spent on Facebook is highest.

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.

Music therapy is using music to help people with a variety of problems. For example, it can help people with communication and speech problems speak better. It can help people with memory problems remember things from their past. Music therapy can also help people manage stress and be more relaxed. It can even make people with bad pain feel better.

In music therapy, a music therapist works with one person alone or with small groups. The therapist meets with the person and does tests to find out what the problem is and what the person can do with music. Then the therapist decides what kind of music therapy to use. Some people sing, and others might compose music, but a person doesn't need to know about music to be helped by music therapy. There are options such as listening to music and dancing to music. Research shows that these activities are good for the body and for the mind.

Homes that take care of elderly people often have music therapy programs. The programs help the elderly be more energetic and also help with memory problems. Some hospitals have music therapy for patients who are in a lot of pain. Music can affect a part of the brain that reduces pain.

Trevor Gibbons is one example of a person who was helped by music therapy. In 2000, he was putting in windows on the fourth floor of a building when he fell. He was in the hospital for over a year. He was in a lot of pain, and he couldn’t talk. He went from the hospital to a rehabilitation center that has a music therapy program, and a music therapist worked with him for several years. He could sing more easily than he could talk. Trevor says that music also helped him manage loneliness, sadness, and pain after he was hurt. Music and the music therapist inspired him, and he has written and sung many songs. He has even recorded CDs and performed at Lincoln Center in New York.

Question 9: It is stated in the passage that _______.

A. homes for the aged don’t have music therapy programs

B. in music therapy some people sing or even compose music

C. Trevor Gibbons hurt himself when he fell off the fifth floor

D. listening and dancing to music are not included in music therapy
