5. W: It’s so hot today. I can’t work. I wish the air conditioning were on in this library. M: So do I. I’ll fall asleep if I don’t get out of this airless room soon. Q: What is the cause of their complaint?

W: Well, I was really happy to be writing a detective story. But after the first few pages, I sort of froze up mentally. I just couldn’t write any more.
M: The same thing happened to me. I thought it meant I lack imagination.
W: Well, Professor Wilson said it’s pretty common for writers to get stuck like that. M: You went to talk to her about it?
W: Actually, I went to ask for more time to finish the assignment. But instead she gave me some advice about how to pull myself out of the situation like that. She said that first thing I should do is just write anything that comes into my head even if it doesn’t make any sense, sort of warm up exercise.
M: That is interesting. When I got stuck, I shifted to something else, you know, do some work for one of my other courses.
W: Well, her methods seem to have worked for me. I’ve written most of the story, and should be able to hand it in on time. But first I need to go to the jewelry store.
M: You’re going shopping? Can’t you wait until you finish your story?
W: I am going there for my story. My detective solves a jewelry store robbery, so I want to take a look at how the jewelry cases are arranged, where the security cameras are located, that sort of thing.

13. What did Professor Wilson advise the woman to do? 14. What i the woman going to do in the jewelry store?
Questions 15 through 17 are based on the following passage.
Thailand’s annual university admissions tests are taking place this week. Tens of thousands of students are trying to give the right answers to math and language questions. High scores permit students to enter the top schools. However, these tests will not be in place for much longer. The current examinations require that students memorize facts in high school classes. They do not test critical thinking or creative problem solving abilities. The Ministry of Education wants to encourage young people to innovate. So, it will begin a new selection process for university students. They hope the best schools will start to accept people with new business ideas.
The ministry’s deputy director for higher education told VOA the new exam system will look for people interested in invention or starting businesses. She said the ministry hopes new admissions policies will reshape the 12-year public education system. She said it should not focus only on memorization of facts but also on the growth of other skills.
15. What can we learn about Thailand’s current university admissions tests? 16. What is the Ministry of Education’s intention to have a new exam system? 17. What is the expected impact to be brought by the new admissions policies?
Questions 18 through 20 are based on the following passage.
As more and more people lose their jobs, now is perhaps the time to consider the experience of unemployment. What are the first feelings? Well, losing a job, or not being able to find one, almost always brings unwelcome changes. As well as the loss of income, many people find the whole routine of their life is destroyed, their contact with other people reduced, their ambitions broken, their identity as a worker removed.
At first there may be good feelings too – a new and better job is just around the corner – it is nice to be able to lie in bed in the morning or spend more time with the children. But, unless a better job does turn up,
