correct answer to each of the questions.
The pursuit of fame has never been more popular than it is today. Where fame was once reserved for the
most gifted artists in the entertainment industry, these days it seems that anyone from a reality TV contestant
to an online video blogger can become famous.
Most talent show contestants and video bloggers are young people with little or no idea about how to handle
fame. They can struggle to cope with the sudden glare of the spotlight. Then, as their new-found fame ends
and the public's attention turns elsewhere, these fading stars often struggle to readjust to normality.
However, hanging on to fame has its own pitfalls. Fame brings a loss of privacy as a star's life becomes the
subject of media attention and, sometimes, cruel rumour. This can have a serious effect on their friendships.
People who desire fame have to be prepared to live their life under a microscope. Fame may build
confidence, but it can also destroy this confidence, bringing insecurity, depression and loneliness.
It is important to put human emotions and relationships before fame because, after all, fame does not bring
happiness. The bright lights of fame have blinded many wannabes who, later, end up feeling lonely and
confused. Fame is fleeting for most people, but the real world is lasting for everyone.
(Adapted from On Screen by Virginia Evans and Jenny Dooley)

A. sportlights B. talent shows C. ideas D. young people
Question 41: As stated in paragraph 2, most talent show contestants and video bloggers………………..
A. cope with the sudden glare of the spotlight easily
B. may not have the slightest idea how to handle fame
C. have no difficulty in readjusting to normality
D. are those struggling to draw the public's attention
Question 42: The word “pitfalls” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ………………
A. results B. issues C. opinions D. benefits

[LB] 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.
For recent graduates, internships may become a stepping stone to full-time, paid employment. Before
accepting an offer to work as an intern you should get some information about the company’s reputation of
procuring their interns and decide accordingly. If they usually hire one intern but have tens of employees
working day and night, it is better to look for other companies. The best place to have an internship position
is an organization that gives you an opportunity to gain real work experience and develop your skills instead
of using you as a cheap worker.
Another thing that should be considered is the size of the company. Sometimes bigger and more
established organizations are better as they have a clear hierarchy and therefore it gives you a clear idea of
your position and the job description and most importantly, it will be easier to get a mentor. Startups with
only five employees are usually more flexible in terms of job responsibilities and therefore it makes it harder
to define your position and get mentors.
After you choose a company, do a little research on the company including the people who work there.
You can do a Google search and comb social media such as LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter to dig deep
about the company’s hiring managers and what they expect from a new employee.
Social media is also very useful to keep in touch with as many people as you can and build your
network. Do not hesitate to maintain any personal connection you have because those connections could be
the first ones who inform you about a new job opening or any vacant positions you can apply for.
If you aim for a dream job, do not overlook an entry-level position just because it offers mediocre
salary. Entry-level employees are more likely to be given room to grow and learn from their mistakes. They
will also be able to figure out the job routines and get used to them when they actually get the position they
have been dreaming about.
As your first few jobs might be very demanding yet less rewarding, remember to have fun and enjoy
your life. Working overtime may not always be a good idea to accelerate your career, especially if you have
to be more stressed than your seniors who earn bigger salaries. Setting the time for exercise and social life
will make your life more balanced and stress free.
