Section B
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
Clubhouse is the latest app that is taking the world by storm. It consists of rooms where people talk about set topics over audio only. You start off as a listener, so you aren’t able to speak right away. But sometimes the best way to learn is to slow down and just listen. Then you can quietly consider what people say about their work, lives and experiences. You just might discover something new.
These days people have more online friends than ever yet are still lonely. Clubhouse stands out from other apps in the way it helps users engage with others. They can laugh over common interests or have deep discussions. They can feel heard and appreciated. Without video, they can even drop some of their insecurities and say what they’re feeling.
Yet with this safe space for expression, problems can occur, too. In a place where you can say anything, some don’t use their freedom rightly. Hateful speech and false statements have become a problem as Clubhouse's membership has grown. Moving forward, it is important for Clubhouse to find a way to track discussions and protect users.This app will likely continue to have a great impact. Only time will tell whether that impact is helpful or harmful.

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.
One of the best skills you can learn in life is how to make good decisions. Why? Because bad decisions lead to disappointment and pain. Good decisions, on the other hand, make you feel happy and successful.
So what factors go into making a good decision? There are three to consider. First, you need to realize that every action has a consequence. You shouldn’t make a big decision quickly. Second, talk to others, especially those who are older and wiser than you. They can give you helpful advice. And finally, check your conscience. Be sure that you can feel proud of the decision you are going to make.
When it comes to decisions, many people hesitate to make them. They may be scared of making a mistake. They may be afraid of what other people will think of their choice. If you need help making a decision, use the following four steps.
First, you need to define the problem you are facing. The next step is to think carefully about the decision and brainstorm your choices. Third, you have to determine what is right for you. And finally, act on your decision as soon as possible.
(Now listen again please.)

Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.
M: Hey, Celia, do you want to go see a movie tomorrow?
W: Sorry, Ian, I can’t. I have a lot of studying to do, so I’ll be at the Comfort Cafe all day.
M: Hey! Why don’t you come study with me at the library? You know- near the books and other hardworking students?
W: I don’t like studying at the library. My favorite place to study is at a coffee shop.
M: Why? You can’t concentrate in a coffee shop. People are always walking in and out, and the coffee machine is so
loud! Plus there are always people talking!
W: People are usually pretty respectful at the Comfort Cafe. Besides, I like having a little bit of background noise when I
study. The library is too quiet.
M: I don’t think it’s possible for a study spot to be too quiet. When I’m studying, total silence is what helps me
concentrate.
W: Coffee is what helps me concentrate. Drinking coffee keeps me alert, and it also improves my memory.
M: Too much coffee makes me feel sick and anxious.
W: Studying at the library makes me anxious. I can just feel the anxiety of all the students studying for tests.
M: That doesn’t affect me.
W: Well, it does affect me. The relaxed atmosphere of a coffee shop helps me relax. A change of scenery really helps when you have a lot to do.
M: That’s why I like the library. Books are my favorite scenery!
W: Coffee machines and comfortable chairs are my favorite scenery. As soon as I smell the coffee, I know it’s going to be a productive day.
M: I have an idea. Next time I have an exam, I’ll try studying in a coffee shop. And you can give the library another shot. Then we’ll know which one is better.
W: Well, I guess I can try it. As long as I can take a cup of coffee with me!
M: And I’II take my noise-canceling headphones to the coffee shop!
