Steven Paul Jobs was born on 24 February, 1955 in San Francisco, USA. His biological parents were not married and gave him up for adoption. He was adopted by Clara and Paul Jobs. In 1971, Jobs met Steve Wozniak, who was five years older than him, but they bonded over their love of electronics. After high school, Jobs attended Reed College in Oregon, but found the classes boring and dropped out after six months.

When Jobs was 21, he and Wozniak started Apple Computers in Jobs' family garage with money they got by selling Jobs' van and Wozniak's scientific calculator. By making computers smaller, cheaper, and accessible to everyday users, their company became a huge success and sales quickly increased. Although Jobs left Apple in 1985, he returned to his post in 1997 when the company needed new ideas. He helped invent new products such as the iMac, the iBook for students, the iPod music player, and iTunes music software. In 2007, he introduced the touch-screen iPhone which changed the way phones were used. Apple products were not only designed to be cutting-edge technology, but also to be stylish and easy to use. In addition, Jobs contributed to computer animation. In 1986, he bought a small company, which later became Pixar Animation Studios. It produced the first full-length computer-animated film Toy Story, followed by other blockbusters.

In 2003, Jobs was diagnosed with a rare form of pancreatic cancer. He fought the disease for several years, and stopped working in August, 2011. Two months later, he passed away. He had four children, three with his wife of 20 years and one from a previous relationship. On an Apple web page, a statement reads, 'Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being.'

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.

       Cultural diversity is like having a big mix of different cultures all living together in one place. It's not just about different traditions and languages; it's about the unique ways people live their lives. This mix is crucial for creating a friendly and connected world, where everyone's uniqueness is not just accepted but also celebrated.

           One of the most interesting things about cultural diversity is that it allows us to share and exchange ideas. When people from different cultures meet, it's like a cultural exchange programme happening naturally. We get to learn from each other, understand different perspectives, and appreciate the varied combination of human experiences. This mutual learning helps us realise that even though we may be from different backgrounds, we share more similarities than differences.

           Cultural diversity isn't just about the present, it's also about the preservation of the past. Every culture has its own special story, a history that goes way back, and things they always do like traditions. When we celebrate cultural diversity, we're not just acknowledging where people come from, we're recognising the wealth of knowledge and wisdom that has been passed down through generations.

           Moreover, this mix of cultures makes our world interesting and more creative. It's like a buffet of creativity!

When people from different backgrounds work together, they bring unique insights and approaches. This variety of new ideas and creative solutions allows society to develop in different areas, from technology and science to art and entertainment. To keep this great mix of cultures lively, we must make an effort to actively include everyone. Being inclusive means making sure everyone feels welcome, regardless of where they're from or what language they speak. Schools, workplaces, and communities all play a role in connecting.

           In conclusion, cultural diversity is not just a fancy term, it's about appreciating and celebrating the richness of human differences. By embracing our diversity, we create a world where everyone belongs, where our unique cultures are valued, and where the collective human experience becomes even more beautiful.

Question 31 The phrase “mutual learning” in paragraph 2 means.

A. learning from oneself                 B. learning from textbooks      

C. learning from each other            D. learning from experience

Question 32. According to the passage, why is cultural diversity important to create a friendly world?

A. It develops a sense of connection and celebration of uniqueness.

B. It decreases the uniqueness of one culture over others.

C. It encourages everyone to be the same.

D. It limits interaction between different culturesions

Question 33. The word " its " in paragraph 3 refers to

A. cultural diversity       B. culture           C. story              D. history

HOW TO DEVELOP ECO-FRIENDLY HABITS

It's easy to adopt eco-friendly habits, and you can always start at home. Here are three tips to help you.

A.

There are so many electrical appliances around us, so if we could save even a little amount of energy from each appliance, it would add up to a lot. For example, there are likely to be tens of light bulbs in your house, so if you can replace them with LED ones, which are more energy-efficient and long-lasting light bulbs, you would save a lot of electricity. Before you buy a new appliance, you should also check its energy star rating which shows how much energy it will use in a year. It's easy to understand: the more stars there are, the more energy you can save!

B.

To reduce your carbon footprint, you should also turn off the lights when you leave a room. In addition, keep your windows or curtains open during the day to let natural sunlight in, or place more mirrors near a lamp to maximize lighting in the house. This can also help to reduce both energy consumption and your energy bills.

C.

While many people already know that turning off appliances around the house when they finish using them can save energy, they may not know that it is even better to unplug them. It is estimated that we could save up to 10% of our electricity bills every month simply by unplugging appliances when they're not in use. This is especially true for chargers. Many people tend to leave their fully charged phones connected, not knowing that it consumes around 2.24 watts. The figure goes up to 29.84 watts for laptops and computers. Leaving an empty charger plugged in has a similar effect, so make unplugging a habit!

[Adapted from Global Success English 12 Workbook]

Around the world, there are some jobs that may seem quite strange and surprising to you.

A.   Train pushers

In Japan, the railway system is huge and everyone there uses trains. This makes them overcrowded most of the time. During rush hour, railway station attendants called 'pushers' or 'oshiya' do the strangest job in the world - they push passengers into trains. They have to do this because of the large number of commuters who wish to arrive at their desired locations on time. That's why they must endure the pain in squeezing themselves inside the train.

B.  Cleaners of the world's highest building

Have you ever wondered how the world's tallest building, Burj Khalifa, in Dubai, is cleaned? It takes a team of 36 window cleaners a total of three months to clean the tower's reflective windows. Working from the height of more than 800 metres, the cleaners face huge challenges especially during bad weather. They must be the bravest cleaners in the world.

C.   Golf balls divers

Every year in the UK, millions of golf balls get lost in the water around golf courses. This gave rise to the demand for golf ball divers whose job is to dive deep into the lakes and ponds around golf courses to find the lost balls. Most of them are professional scuba divers, but they spend long hours crawling around in mud and carrying heavy buckets. On average, they find 5,000 balls per lake. After cleaning them, they resell or recycle the balls. Sounds dangerous, doesn't it?
