Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct word or phrase that best fits each the numbered blanks
The idea of going overseas to study can be daunting, with visions of baffling languages or nights spent
in isolation while you are gradually forgotten by your friends and family (25) the benefits of studying abroad - such as broadening your mind, improving your career prospects and making friends from all over the world - can make digging out your passport really rewarding
“Studying abroad is an eye-opening experience,” says Anna Boyd, event manager at The Student World “Being (26) in another culture, understanding differences and spotting similarities, living
on a beach or in the mountains, (27) will have an impact on every student.”
Overseas study comes in many shapes and sizes It might be a single semester abroad via an Erasmus programme, for example Or you might elect to follow a full three-or four-year degree programme Whatever your ambition, the key is starting early Some countries require specific combinations of A-levels from UK students, Germany looks for four A-A-levels including maths or science and one modern foreign language, for instance, while others, such as the US, value extracurricular activities Starting our research well ahead (28) time can help you make the right choices "Getting involved in sports, arts and music is also worth considering, as well as gaining experience through volunteering and work placements," says Boyd In fact, applying to study abroad could even work to your advantage, for example, you might encounter lower (29) requirements

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or II to indicate the answer to each of the question
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
Trang 4performance 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 employers “For example,
someone who performs in an improvisational group as a hobby could be attractive to an employer because they can think quickly on their feet and may also be more comfortable presenting in front of a
group of people,” Weiler says
So, having a hobby that you love can do good things for your life and your job But what if you don’t actually have a hobby you enjoy? You’re not alone According to Weiler, trying to find meaningful hobbies is one of the primary reasons her clients—especially young people—seek counseling Clearly, there are plenty of people out there who don’t have, or don’t know how to find, a hobby But that doesn’t mean they can’t find one It doesn’t matter if you’re 25 or 85 years old—it’s not too late to hop on board the hobby train!

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question
Trang 5Though gambling is typically associated with casino games, strategic sports betting is rapidly 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 Huberfeld of the Beer Yaakov Mental Health Center determined that neither betting experience nor knowledge of the arcane details of the game is connected to successful betting outcomes 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
This model mimics how gamblers actually put their money on the games, where they need to 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 on seven out of the 16
games each, hailed from the group with no prior understanding of the 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
