Read the following passage about human life expectancy and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your
answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30. ⇱

In the UK, comprising England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, jokes and tricks can be played
until noon on 1 April. After midday it's considered bad luck to play a trick. Anyone who forgets this and
tries a joke in the afternoon becomes an 'April Fool' themselves.
So, what kind of jokes do people play? Well, a simple example would be telling your friend that their
shoelaces are undone. Then, when they bend down to do them up, you shout, 'April Fool!', and they
realise their shoelaces are fine.
Maybe it's not your kind of humour, but watch out, there's always someone who will find it funny! In
Ireland, a popular prank is to send someone on a 'fool's errand'. The victim is sent to deliver a letter,
supposedly asking for help. When the person receives the letter, they open it, read it and tell the poor
messenger that they will have to take the letter to another person. This continues and the victim ends up
taking the message to several different people until someone feels sorry for them and shows them what
the letter says: 'Send the fool to someone else.'
In France, Belgium, the Netherlands (or Holland), Italy and French-speaking areas of Canada and
Switzerland, the 1 April tradition is known as the “April Fish”. A common joke is to try to stick a paper fish
onto a victim's back without being noticed.

Read the following passage about managing change and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer
sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40. ⇱

Growing up in Athens, Greece, Lydia Borsi remembers feeling tested when she tried to deal with mental
health issues. Borsi says she had been seeing a therapist for anxiety. But she notes that people in Greece
do not openly discuss mental health issues, which also get little attention in general healthcare services.
“It was a lot more secretive. And people thought that I was a lot more unique,” Borsi said.
That all changed in 2017 when she moved to the United States to study at the University of Rochester in
Rochester, New York. “When I came here, I really liked that people were not afraid to speak up about
mental health and say that it’s important,” she said. The university was very supportive of her needs and
offered plenty of information. She also became involved with a school group called Active Minds that
helps students deal with mental health issues. [A]
Then due to the spread of the novel coronavirus, the University of Rochester had to move all its classes
and some of its mental health resources online. Luckily, Borsi was able to connect with a mental health
expert outside the school, in the local community. [B]
But as many of her American friends returned home, Borsi was stuck. Greece had succeeded in limiting
the spread of the virus within its borders, but flights there from the U.S. are barred until July. Also, the
health crisis has put her plans to seek admission to medical school in Britain on hold. [C] And she is not
alone.
[D] In April, Active Minds launched a survey of over 2,000 students at U.S. colleges and universities. The
study found that over 80 percent of those asked said the coronavirus crisis had negatively affected their
mental health. One in five said it has affected them severely.
Laura Horne, chief program officer at Active Minds, says the findings are especially troubling given that
the crisis is only going to make it harder for colleges and universities to help these students. “Colleges
and universities had to pivot rather quickly to respond to COVID-19 and figure out all facets of university
life, including mental health services. Now they have to figure out how to communicate with students,”
Horne said.
Frank Chen is a Houston, Texas-based psychiatrist who has worked with college-age young adults. He
points out that individuals at that age are in an important stage of their mental development. And
college can be a difficult experience for students with or without mental health issues, as they balance
work, studies, and personal relationships. Adding a major world event, like the spread of the
coronavirus, makes it very difficult to predict what the long-term psychological effects might be. “I don’t
think that there’s another event in the history of the people who are alive now that can really measure
up to this,” said Chen.
