<b>Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or II to indicate the answer to </b>
<b>each of the question. </b>

Having a hobby that you enjoy—whether that’s crocheting a sweater for your beastie’s new
baby, hitting the slopes to enjoy some fresh powder, or practicing pirouettes in ballet class—has
all sorts of well-documented benefits, from lower levels of stress to an increased sense of
belonging and purpose. Clearly, hobbies can make a serious impact on your quality of life. But
they can also improve your work performance. According to licensed professional counselor
Rebecca Weiler, when you’re engaged and fulfilled in your life outside of work like you are
when you’re pursuing meaningful hobbies, that happiness spills over. It can make you more
focused and enthusiastic when you’re on the job.

And depending on the hobby, the skills you gain as a result of your leisurely pursuits can
also make you better at your job and make you a more appealing candidate for potential
<b>employers. “For example, someone who performs in an improvisational group as a hobby </b>
<b>could be attractive to an employer because they can think quickly on their feet and may also be </b>
more comfortable presenting in front of a group of people,” Weiler says.

<b>Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to </b>
<b>each of the question. </b>

<b>Though gambling is typically associated with casino games, strategic sports betting is rapidly </b>
gaining in popularity – and that's a whole other ball game, Prof. Dannon explains. "Sports
gamblers seem to believe themselves the cleverest of all gamblers. They think that with
experience and knowledge – such as player's statistics, manager's habits, weather conditions,
and stadium capacity – they can predict the outcome of a game better than the average person."

But in a study published in the journal Psychopathology, Prof. Dannon and Dr. Ronen

</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(6)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=6>

Indeed, he says, the two most successful gamblers in their study had no prior experience in
gambling or knowledge of the sport in question. This should inform how psychologists
approach sports gamblers, who need to be treated using different methods than their
casino-addicted counterparts. For their study, the researchers focused on the field of soccer betting, one
of the most popular and growing forms of sports gambling. They recruited three groups of
participants, including 53 professional sports gamblers, 34 soccer fans who were knowledgeable
about the sport but had never gambled, and finally, 78 non-gamblers with no prior knowledge of
soccer at all. All participants were asked to place bets on the final scores of the 16 second-round
matches of the Champion's League, organized by the Union of European Football Associations.
<b>This model mimics how gamblers actually put their money on the games, where they need to </b>
bet on exact scores to win.

Although those who had prior knowledge of soccer were expected to have a higher success rate,
the researchers discovered that, in fact, their success rate was no better than those of the other
two groups. Interestingly, the two participants with the most successful record, correctly betting
<b>on seven out of the 16 games each, hailed from the group with no prior understanding of the </b>
sport.

This doesn't indicate that there is an advantage to inexperience, says Prof. Dannon – many
others in the third group were unable to predict any of the results correctly. But the outcome
exposes the myth of knowledge as a powerful betting advantage. The sense of control that
encourages sports gamblers in their betting is just an illusion.
