Practical stress management can help students deal with their worries and become more

a break and do something you love. Whether it is painting or listening to music, doing something you
enjoy can cheer up your mood and distract you from a stressor. It’s about time that we students accept

each of the questions that follow
It is sometimes very difficult to decide which career to choose when you leave school. British
students are helped by careers teachers, who inform them about different careers, qualifications needs
and try to help them make up their minds. Mr. Hemmings, a careers teacher as well as a History
teacher, talks about his experience.
“I’ve been a careers teacher for around five years and, on the whole, I’ve found it a rewarding
experience. Our students have careers lessons once a week for the fourth and the fifth years (15 or 16
years old). My task consists of explaining as accurately as possible the qualifications required for each
job, as well as the type OS work and personal skills involved.
Advising teenagers can be rather difficult - some youngsters have no idea at all of what they want
to do, or of what the real world outside school really is. They come to me and say “I don’t like routine
nine- to-five jobs... I’d like something exciting that pays well...” What I can say? That we’re running
out of exciting jobs? But they usually end up facing reality and come down to their senses after a
while...
Anyway here in school we only give them a piece of advice according to what we know about their
favorite and weakest subjects, pastimes and personality. But if you ask me, things are happening so
quickly around here, with our economy in the dumps that sometimes you don’t know what to say. A
few days ago I asked a fifteen-year-old boy what job he had in mind and he replied “I haven’t any
plans...You see, Sir, I don’t know what new jobs will replace today’s” What could I say?
28. What do careers teachers in Britain help students?
A. All of the above.
B. Inform them about different careers.
C. Tell them the qualifications needed for careers.
D. Help them make up their minds.
29. How has Mr. Hemmings found his job as a careers teacher?
A. An easy job. B. A rewarding experience.
C. A stressful job. D. A challenging experience.
30. How often do British students have careers lessons?
A. Twice a week. B. Once a week. C. Once a fortnight. D. Twice a month.
31. Why is it difficult to advise teenagers?
A. Teenagers have no idea of what exciting jobs are.
B. Some of them don’t know that careers they want.
C. Many youngsters never go outside of their houses.
D. Many teenagers only like doing jobs that pay well.
32. Why hasn’t the student got any plans about his future job?
A. There will be many new jobs in the future. B. His parents haven’t told him about his future job.
C. He is too young to think about it. D. He is busy studying his favorite subjects.

The Changing Role of Women in Filipino Society
When many people think of women in Asian culture, they think of a male dominated society
where women don’t have as many rights as their male counterparts. However, the Filipino are different.
Filipino women have always enjoyed greater equality than women in other nations in Southeast Asia.
For starters, Filipino women today serve as heads in the family arrangement, handling the money,
acting as religious mentors and even arranging marriages for their sons and daughters. This is a sharp
contrast to women being subjugated to their husbands.
This does not mean that they have equality everywhere. In the workplace, Filipino women are
paid less and more often hired for lower positions even if they are qualified to earn more money. On the
home front, women carry a heavy burden in the homes in order to support them financially while men
can keep their money and are not obligated to the family.
Thankfully, strides are being made to equalize this perception of inequality. Human Resources
Managements are seeing to it that a lot more women hold high ranking positions in large and small
organizations. More women are holding managerial positions in banks, government, and multinational
companies.
Even though they have had a female president, involvement in politics is not considered women’s
business, and many women still hold to the tradition that a woman cannot take a higher position than
her husband. Part of this mindset is due to the effect of colonization on Filipino women.
Like women in many parts of the world, Filipino women have had to fight for their proper place in
their society. They have worked hard to extend themselves beyond the confines of their homes and
show that they have the strength and power to control business and politics.
28. All of the following are true about Filipino women today EXCEPT that
A. they enjoy more equality than others in Southeast Asia.
B. they have an important role in politics.
C. they arrange marriages for their sons and daughters.

29. The inequality at home is that……………..
A. women earn money to support themselves.
B. women serve as the head of the family.
C. both women and men work but men keep the money.
D. men earn more to support the family and keep the money.
30. Women don’t enjoy equality at work because
A. they carry a heavy burden in the homes. B. they are always hired for lower positions.
C. they don’t have enough qualifications. D. they are paid less for the same jobs as men.
31. Due to the effect of colonization on Filipino women, they
A. hold a lower position than her husband’s.
B. hole the position of a President.
