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
from 36 to 40.
In high school, students will be using digital tools in almost every lesson - for
studying, group discussions, assignments, and even exams. Using technology in
school not only prepares them for future careers but also teaches them how to
manage their time and stay focused. In some subjects, technology can also assist
in building professional connections and preparing for future job opportunities.
It's important for students to start learning these skills early to be ready for
what’s ahead.
A lot of school tasks and homework now involve research online. Let's be honest:
kids spend a lot of time on the internet, and it's not just for playing games. With
the vast amount of information available online, students can explore new ideas
and find useful knowledge that would have once required a trip to the library.
Today, if students don't know something, they simply search for it online. While
this isn't necessarily a bad habit, it's important that students focus on
understanding what they read, rather than just relying on technology. Allowing
students to use their devices in class can improve their learning. When they
conduct their own research, they are more likely to remember the material than
if they just take notes from a lecture.
Question 36. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. High school students should avoid using electronic devices in class.

Question 37. What is one way technology helps in high school classes according
to the passage?
A. It makes students focus only on class discussions.
B. It prepares students for their future jobs.
C. It reduces the need for group work.
D. It helps students memorise their notes.
Question 38. It can be inferred from the passage that the author mentioned
visiting the library to.
