Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 1 to 10.

        Until relatively recently, newspapers were our primary source of daily news. [I] The internet is changing the way people get their news, leaving a dwindling audience willing to pay for their daily paper. But given that the form first emerged in early-17th-century Europe, it’s probably about time the medium got overhauled. Newspapers have witnessed an extraordinary era of change: from the evolution of democratic institutions and political parties to the reshaping of whole countries and continents. [II]

        By the end of the 19th century, newspapers were using a visual template not unlike those of today, and had become the source of not only large profits but also unaccountable political and social influence for their owners – a trend that has continued to the present day. Newspapers prospered in this form for more than 150 years, and in many countries, daily life would have been inconceivable without access to one. But in many places, the continuing existence of newspapers is under threat.

        Circulation figures for all types of newspapers, local, regional and national, bear out the fact that, in many Western nations at least, sales of printed newspapers had been falling for many years prior to the emergence of the internet. What is also beyond question, though, is that the arrival and exponential growth of the World Wide Web, leading to near-universal coverage, has accelerated this process greatly. [III] Observing the rapidity and extent of this process around the world provides a fascinating insight into social change.

        We now live in an age where speed and convenience have gained precedence over reliability and quality in most aspects of our existence. Regarding the former, newspapers only allow readers to get updated about events some considerable time after they have actually happened, while online users can access them more or less at the moment at which they occur. [IV] Printed newspapers, therefore, provide a less efficient source of news and, furthermore, do so in a less environmentally-friendly way than the internet, and at a direct cost to the consumer. Moreover, with news also available on tap through social media, consumers are continually bombarded from all sides, and therefore may not wish to have each story explained in great detail, as is the case in much of the printed media. Social media sites have also proven to be one of the most effective means of getting information out rapidly, and on a huge scale: news can now be tweeted before the mainstream media has even started its coverage.

Đề bài

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.

        Many people say the brain is ‘like a muscle,’ but this comparison is only partly useful. You can feel your arm muscles strengthen after exercise, yet you cannot ‘work out’ your brain in the same direct way. Still, studies show that training the body also benefits the brain, and different forms of physical activity can shape brain structure in different ways. As researchers learn more, people may be able to choose exercises that support particular goals, such as improving memory performance. Scientists are also investigating why exercise helps the brain. Increased blood flow is one explanation, and another is the possible growth of new brain cells—something once believed impossible in adults but now seen as a realistic prospect.

        It is widely known that exercise can lift your mood. Runners often describe a ‘runner’s high,’ which many believe comes from endorphins in the bloodstream. However, researchers are unsure how many of them actually reach the brain. What is clear is that exercise strongly influences the hippocampus, a region vital for learning and memory. Experiments with children, adults, and older people show that the hippocampus grows as fitness improves, which helps explain why physical activity can boost memory.

        Exercise can also support the learning process in more immediate ways. Light activity—such as walking or cycling while studying—can make it easier to learn new information, including foreign vocabulary. Very intense workouts, however, may raise stress levels and harm memory. Short exercise breaks help students stay focused; in one study, a 20-minute session between lessons improved attention, and another study found that regular after-school sports increased children’s ability to ignore distractions and use new knowledge effectively.

        You don’t always need strenuous exercise to see benefits. Just ten minutes of coordination-based play, like bouncing two balls at once, can improve concentration. Walking has also been shown to enhance creative thinking. However, if you need to solve a single, precise problem, a relaxing walk might not help. Overall, physical activity clearly influences how well we think, learn, and remember—so staying active matters more than we often realise.
