Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
Jeff Haslam spends much of his time working underground in London's sewers. These tunnels
are crucial for transporting wastewater and other refuse away from the city. Jeff's main job is to keep
these clean. "We work in teams of six," he explains, noting the dirty and dark conditions of their work.
He wears specialised clothing, a mask, and a helmet with a light to navigate these challenging
environments.
In contrast, Charlie Radley works as a fisherman in the cold waters of Alaska. Each fishing trip
lasts about a week, and the weather can be extremely harsh. “It's often stormy and very cold,” Charlie
says, highlighting the need for warm, waterproof clothing. While he has the potential to earn a good
income, it greatly depends on the success of their catch. If they don't bring in enough fish, his earnings
significantly drop.
Sandy Smith is a lumberjack who enjoys working outdoors. She noticed a job advertisement for
lumberjacks online and decided to apply, despite the long hours and modest pay. "It's a very
dangerous job," Sandy admits, emphasising the risks associated with using heavy machinery in remote
areas. She is always cautious, as medical facilities are always far away.
Despite their different occupations, Jeff, Charlie, and Sandy all face significant challenges in
their jobs. Each one deals with unique difficulties, from maintaining sewers and fishing in harsh
conditions to cutting down trees. Their stories illustrate the dedication required for roles that are
essential to society, even if they often go unrecognised.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
[I] A study was set up to examine the old marriage advice about whether it's more important to
be happy or to be right. [II] Couples' therapists sometimes suggest that in a bid to avoid constant
arguments, spouses weigh up whether pressing the point is worth the misery of marital discord. [III]
The researchers, who are doctors and professors at the University of Auckland, noticed that many of
their patients were adding stress to their lives by insisting on being right, even when it worked against
their well-being. [IV]
The researchers then found a couple who were willing to record their quality of life on a scale
of 1 to 10. They told the man, who wanted to be happy more than right, about the purpose of the
study and asked him to agree with every opinion and request his wife had without complaint, even
when he profoundly didn't agree. The wife was not informed of the purpose of the study and just
asked to record her quality of life.
Things went rapidly downhill for the couple. The man's quality-of-life scores fell, from 7 to 3,
over the course of the experiment. The wife's scores rose modestly, from 8 to 8.5, before she became
hostile to the idea of recording the scores. Rather than causing harmony, the husband's agreeableness
led to the wife becoming increasingly critical of what he did and said (in the husband's opinion). After
12 days he broke down, made his wife a cup of tea, and the study was called off because of “severe
adverse outcomes.”
The researchers concluded, shockingly, that humans need to be right and acknowledged as
right, at least some of the time, to be happy. They also noted this was further proof that if given too
much power, humans tend to “assume the alpha position and, as with chimpanzees, they become very
aggressive and dangerous.” It is often said that there can be no peace without justice, and that's true
of domestic sphere.
Obviously the results are to be taken with extreme caution, since this was just one couple with
who-knows-what underlying issues beforehand. But the study's chief author, Dr. Bruce Arroll,
maintains that the question of happiness vs. rightness, theoretically, could be settled by scientific
inquiry with a wider sample. “This would include a randomized controlled trial,” he says. “However,
we would be reluctant to do the definitive study because of the concern about divorce.”
