Read the following passage about modern relationships 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.

As social media and online dating platforms like Tinder and Hinge become more visible in American society, people are beginning to question whether relationships and the concept of love are evolving. [I] Many people feel as though technology has superseded human interaction and elevated the desire for quick hook-ups, while others contend that modern relationships remain fundamentally the same as they were in previous generations. Sociologists like Andrew are interested in how the perception and priorities of relationships have shifted over time.

Seventy-five years ago, Andrew said, Americans chose to marry because of social pressure. He believes that marriage today remains a source of personal happiness and commitment - not just a source of legal benefits. [II] His reasoning stems from arguments for the legalization of gay marriage, which reflect changing views on the institution itself. Andrew described marriage as the "ultimate merit badge" and the symbol of a successful relationship. Henry, a social psychologist at Harvard, contends that young people seek out stable relationships, even outside of marriage. In this regard, he says, modern relationships have varied little from their predecessors. According to Henry, young people still desire a relationship that brings them happiness.

Henry claims that the way modern couples achieve satisfaction is considerably different. [III] A lot of those things are common across time, but how people experience those challenges and communicate them is evolving with all the other forces within and outside the relationship. Platforms like dating apps allow people to more directly communicate their interests to potential partners, as well as their goals for a prospective relationship. Unlike in the past, Carole argued, the goal of many modern relationships is self-satisfaction. There's been a shift toward individualism: the idea that what's important is my own satisfaction and growth, not my service to others.

However, the fact that couples are getting married increasingly later in life reflects this attitude. [IV] What we've seen is the emergence of a new life stage called "early adulthood", which goes from age 18 to upwards of age 30. Marriage is no longer a building block of adulthood but the "capstone".

Read the following passage about throw-away culture and mark the letters A, B, C, D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.

In today's throw-away culture, the rapid consumption and disposal of goods have become a defining feature of modern life. As people purchase items and quickly discard them, the environmental impact becomes more evident. The prevalence of single-use plastics, fast fashion, and electronic waste is accelerating the depletion of natural resources, but efforts to mitigate these issues are often met with limited success. While recycling programs and initiatives for reducing waste have been implemented, the sheer volume of discarded materials continues to grow at an alarming rate.

Despite the challenges, small but meaningful changes are being made. Activists and organizations are increasingly advocating for sustainable alternatives to disposable products, such as reusable bags, clothing made from eco-friendly materials, and the reduction of plastic packaging. However, these changes are often overshadowed by the scale of consumption that drives throw-away culture.

One key factor that perpetuates the throw-away culture is the rise of consumerism, driven by advertising and social media. The constant promotion of the latest products and trends creates a sense of urgency and inadequacy, encouraging people to buy more than they need. This leads to a disposable mentality where items are seen as replaceable rather than valued for their longevity. As a result, the environmental footprint of consumer behavior has grown substantially. To truly make a dent in this cycle, society must reframe its perception of value and durability in favor of sustainability over fleeting trends.

Efforts to combat throw-away culture have also been hindered by the convenience and low cost of disposable goods. In a world where speed and affordability often take precedence over quality and longevity, people are inclined to choose convenience over sustainability.
