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 31 to 35.
During times of crisis, people find themselves faced with lifestyle changes. One of the earliest and most
noticeable changes seen during the Covid-19 lockdown was how we consume media-and, especially how we
read.
People tend to find comfort in certain books, and reading habits and genre preferences can change during
periods of stress. This helps to explain why much genre fiction has roots in times of significant social, political
or economic upheaval. Gothic literature is, in part, a British Protestant response to the French Revolution.
Respondents generally reported that they were reading more than usual. This was largely due to having
more free time (due to being furloughed, or not having a commute or the usual social obligation or leisure
activities). This increased reading volume was complicated for those with caring responsibilities. Many people
with children reported that their reading time had increased generally because of their shared reading with
children, but had less time than normal for personal reading. Reading frequency was further complicated by a
quality vs quantity snag. People spent more time reading and seeking escape, but an inability to concentrate
meant they made less progress than usual. In short, people spent more time reading but the volume they read
was less.
Unsurprisingly, lockdown also made re-reading a physical necessity for some. Some respondents noted
how they were unable to visit the library or browse at the bookshop for new books. Others reported that they
simply wished to save money. On the other hand, the participants who reported re-reading less than normal
during the lockdown period wanted to use their newfound time to seek out new topics and genres.

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 36 to 42.
Australians place a high value on independence and personal choice. This means that a teacher or course
tutor will not tell students what to do, but will give them a number of options and suggest they work out which
one is the best in their circumstances. It also means that they are expected to take action if something goes
wrong and seek out resources and support for themselves.
Australians are also prepared to accept a range of opinions rather than believing there is one truth. This
means that in an educational setting, students will be expected to form their own opinions and defend the
reasons for that point of view and the evidence for it.
Australians are uncomfortable with differences in status and hence idealize the idea of treating everyone
equally. An illustration of this is that most adult Australians call each other by their first names. This concern
with equality means that Australians are uncomfortable taking anything too seriously and are even ready to
joke about themselves.
Australians believe that life should have a balance between work and leisure time. As a consequence,
some students may be critical of others who they perceive as doing nothing but study.
Australian notions of privacy mean that areas such as financial matters, appearance, and relationships are
only discussed with close friends. While people may volunteer such information, they may resent someone
actually asking them unless the friendship is firmly established. Even then, it is considered very impolite to

ask someone what they earn. With older people, it is also rude to ask how old they are, why they are not
married, or why they do not have children. It is also impolite to ask people how much they have paid for
something unless there is a very good reason for asking.
