How to Apologize to a Child “We tell children, ‘Go apologize to your brother,’ but they can learn more by experiencing you apologizing to them,” says Jeremy Ruckstaetter, a professor of counseling at Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis, Mo. When Ruckstaetter started researching apologies in graduate school, he found perplexingly (34) ___ studies focusing on apologies from parents to children. For his doctoral dissertation, he surveyed 327 parents and found that those (35) ___ regularly apologized to their children reported stronger attachment bonds. Apologizing is hard. “It can feel like death,” Ruckstaetter says. If you’ve hurt a child with your words or actions, don’t (36) ___ the resulting distress. Embrace guilt, a feeling that contains within it a (37) ___ of wrongdoing that can prompt prosocial behavior. “Move into your guilt and say, “I was wrong”, Ruckstaetter says. Notice if your response feels more like shame, which often results in withdrawal rather than apology. Shame might manifest as internal dialogue that says, “I’m bad,” or “I’m unworthy,” (38) ___ guilt tends to arise with more specificity: “I feel bad for saying those mean things.” (Adapted from Question 34: A. few B. each C. little D. another Question 35: A. who B. whom C. where D. which Question 36: A. realize B. appreciate C. ignore D. urge Question 37: A. recognition B. illness C. confusion D. embarrassment Question 38: A. therefore B. whereas C. and D. so 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 following questions. Smoking is one of the biggest causes of death and illness in the UK. Every year around 78,000 people in the UK die from smoking and many more live with smoking-related illnesses. It increases your risk of developing more than 50 serious health conditions. Some may be fatal, and others can cause irreversible long-term damage to your health. You can become ill if you smoke yourself or if people around you smoke (passive smoking). Smoking causes around 7 out of every 10 cases of lung cancer (70%). It also causes cancer in many other parts of the body, including the throat or voice box (larynx). Moreover, smoking damages your heart and your blood circulation, increasing your risk of developing conditions such as coronary heart disease and heart attack. Breathing in secondhand smoke, also known as passive smoking, increases your risk of getting the same health conditions as smokers. For example, if you have never smoked but you have a spouse who smokes, your risk of developing lung cancer increases by about a quarter. Babies and children Page 4 of 12

A child who’s exposed to passive smoke is at increased risk of developing chest infection, meningitis, persistent cough and, if they have asthma, their symptoms will get worse. (Adapted from www.nhs.uk) Question 39: What is the main idea of the passage? A. Smoking is very harmful to health.B. Smoking is common in the UK. C. Men smoke more than women. D. Secondhand smoke has bad effects on children. Question 40: What of the following has the closest meaning to the word “irreversible”? A. unrecoverableB. accessible C. dispensableD. understandable Question 41: The word “they” in the passage refers to ___. A. effects B. babies and children C. health conditions D. symptoms Question 42: What health conditions does smoking cause? A. cancerB. heart attack C. coronary heart diseaseD.

A. meningitisB. persistent cough C. chest infectionD. diarrhea 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 following questions. Many stories about recovery from burnout - a type of chronic stress which leaves people physically and emotionally exhausted - are very similar: the affected person realizes the problem and starts to overhaul their lifestyle: in just a short period of time, they may quit their job, move to another country, or end a relationship. Then, they successfully recover. However, according to Stela Salminen, a doctoral candidate at the University of Jyvaskyla, Finland, this is not always the case. Dramatic life changes might be beneficial for some people, but in her own research Salminen has found one factor which truly unites those who recover: realising that they are in control. For a small study in 2015, she interviewed 12 burnout sufferers. Researchers assessed participants to determine the severity of their burnout at the time of the study and seven months later. Their scores were then compared to what they said to look for patterns. The analysis revealed that those who recovered successfully experienced a revelation that they are in charge of their own wellbeing. Salminen explains that if burnout sufferers believe that they can influence their environment, they usually take the necessary steps to reverse the factors which got them there in the first place. This might include things like improving sleep habits, since this is one of the best ways to reset when you're stressed, or drawing clear lines between work and non-work time. "People who have a sense of agency take steps in the workplace, make changes in their families; they take care of themselves, and they're more aware of their own limitations," she says. One way to achieve this feeling of self-control is to attend slightly scary sounding "burnout rehabilitation programmes". These can come in many different forms - such as luxury retreats and basic online courses - but broadly they involve some kind of cognitive therapy to help people re- frame their experiences in a more productive way. Another is to gain control of another aspect of your life, such as by taking up a creative hobby or exercising more often. The late famous painting instructor Bob Ross often emphasised this, advising viewers that "If you don’t like it, change it. It’s your world." Page 5 of 12
6. Another important predictor of recovery from burnout is a healthy life. "Family relationships, one's overall health - these tend to influence people who have gone through burnout and are on the path to recovery," says Salminen. "Finding emotional support seems to be the first step towards recovery," says Salminen. "It can come from many different places - occupational health care like a psychologist, it can be support from family members, or support from colleagues." By validating your experiences, these people can help to improve your motivation and how you see yourself, and regardless of what happens in your journey to recovery, this can only be good. (Adapted from bbc.com) Question 44: Which best serves as the title for the passage? A. How To Tell Whether You Are Getting Rid Of Burnout Or Not? B. Studies That Prove Recovering From Burnout Is Not Always The Same C. Does Burnout Recovery Always Require Radical Life Changes? D. How The Feeling Of Having Control Helps People Deal With Burnout Question 45: The word "overhaul" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ___.

They most often come in the form of basic online courses that are inexpensive. B. Expensive ones like those involving luxury retreats are the most effective. C. Despite varying forms, they all include one common type of cognitive therapy. D. They help people look at their experiences in a more productive manner. Question 49: Which of the following is NOT TRUE, according to the passage? A. The true factor that all stories of burnout recovery involve is the sense of having control. B. Many improve their sleeping habits to avoid burnout since this is the most effective way to reset. C. The frequency of exercising is one of the aspects of a person's life that can be controlled. D. When people recover from burnout, paying attention to mental health seems to be the first step. Question 50: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A. The 12 burnout sufferers in Salminen’s 2015 study all successfully recovered. B. Unclear lines between work and non-work time may be a factor contributing to burnout. C. Many people have benefited from the advice of the popular painting instructor Bob Ross. D. One's physical health has no effect on their journey to recovering from burnout. Page 6 of 12
