Spending your free time on the Internet can be fun. You can chat, share photos with friends, and play online games. But some people are addicted to the Internet. They just can’t turn it off.

Being online for many hours at a time does not mean you have a problem. The
Internet is very useful. Online, you can pay your bills, buy clothes, and read the news.
There are many good reasons to spend time online. However, people with an Internet
addiction are online too much. They don’t spend time with their friends and family.
Instead, they spend their time chatting with their Internet friends, people they have never
met in real life. Some also play online games all day or night. Some people with Internet
addictions even leave their jobs so they can spend even more time online! People with
Internet addictions don’t just go online to shop, have fun, or do work. People who have
this problem often go online because they want to escape the stress and problems in their
lives. Many internet addicts stop caring about their real lives, and focus only on their
online lives.

One way Internet addicts can get help is by using special software. This software
controls how much time someone can spend online. It tells the computer to turn off the
internet after a certain amount time. This helps people focus on real life. The software’s
goal is to teach people to use the Internet for good reasons and not just as an escape.
15. People with Internet addiction spend most of their free time on the Internet.
16. Internet addiction causes problems in one’s daily life.
17. Most Internet addicts play online games all day or night.

over the past few years, memes-usually images or videos with text often meant to be funny or sarcastic in nature-have become one of the most popular ways, along with photos and videos, that youth communicate on social media. While some of that communication can be positive, allowing teenagers to explore their own identity development and find a sense of belonging, it can also get teens in trouble.
Sharing videos, images and memes creates the opportunity for an instantaneous positive feedback loop that can perpetuate poor decision making. In an environment where teens spend around nine hours using some form of oline media every day, it doesn't take long for them to be influenced by an "all-about-likes"sense of values that can potentially lead to life-altering decisions.
Many teens use shortened versions of their name or aliases for finsta accounts, which they often see as an opportunity to share a less edited, less filtered version of their lives, Thet might spend a lot of time trying to capture the perfect integeal photo for the "rinsta" which reaches a wider general audience, while a finsta might reveal, as one high school sophomore girls declare, "my innermost thoughts." Like the teens in the harvard facebook group chat, those using finsta accounts can have a false sense of confidence to say and do

Many British people don’t think about clothes very much. They just like to be comfortable. When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At theatres, cinemas and concerts you can put on what you like from elegant suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes, as long as you look clean and tidy. But in Britain, as well as the US, men in offices usually wear suits and ties, and women wear dresses of skirts (not trousers). Doctors, lawyers and business people wear quite formal clothes. And in some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties and women wear smart dresses. In many years, Americans are more relaxed than British people, but they are more careful with their clothes. At home, or on holiday, most Americans wear informal or sporty clothes. But when they go out in the evening, they like to look elegant. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and women wear pretty clothes and smart hairstyles.

SECTION III: READING (5.0 points)
Part 1: Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following
questions. Write your answer (A, B, C, or D) in the numbered boxes.
Since ancient times, one of the most common materials people have utilized to make things
with is wood. Wood is used to make houses, buildings, and other structures. People also
make a large number of smaller objects with it.
The desire to make finished products more beautiful appears to be ingrained in huma n
nature. On account of this fact, for thousands of years, people have carved and shaped
wooden objects to make them more appealing to the eye. Humans have additionally tended
to create both religious and ceremonial objects from wood. In fact, all around the world,
countless cultures have made use of ceremonial wood carvings. These objects often reflect
the spirit of the people who made them, and each of them tends to hold a special
significance as well.
One of the most common types of wood carvings is the mask. People in many cultures in
Asia, Africa, and North America have made ceremonial wooden masks. In Africa, for
instance, large numbers of tribes use wooden masks for vari ous spiritual rituals. These
masks are often in the form of animals that are sacred to the tribes. In other cases, the masks
have human forms. The faces, however, may not be exactly humanlike. For instance, the
faces can be distorted, having wider, longer, smaller, or larger features than normal. The
masks may be carved to give them ugly or frightening appearances as well. And, on other
occasions, the masks are made to look as beautiful as possible.
While masks tend to be fairly small, other wood carvings can be enormous. Among the
largest of all ceremonial wood carvings is the totem p ole. Totem poles have been built by
several Native American tribes that reside in the northwestern part of North America. They
are normally made to represent families, or they may honor significant historical events.
Some even tell stories. A typical totem pole has several individual carvings on it. Each
carving represents a different part of the family history, event, or story. Most totem poles
have human or animal faces, as well as other figures, carved in them. They are so large that
they are made from e ntire trees. Once the trees are cut down, master craftsmen work on
them. When completed, they may or may not be painted. Then, the totem poles are
positioned in places of honor and placed upright.
