Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.

More and more young people are choosing to take a gap year between finishing school and starting university. Alternatively, they may decide to take a gap year between graduating from university and starting a career, feeling the need for some time out before joining the rat race. Most students see the time as an opportunity to travel. The idea of travelling to as many foreign places as possible appeals greatly.

A large percentage of gap-year students have wealthy parents who can easily subsidize their travel. Others have to save up before they go, or look for some form of employment while travelling. For example, they may work on local farms or in local hotels. By doing so, they not only earn some money, but they are likely to meet local people and acquire some understanding of their culture.

There are some students who choose to work for the whole of their gap year. A number may decide to get work experience, either at home or abroad, in an area which they hope to make their career, such as medicine or computers. A large proportion of students are now choosing to work with a charity which arranges voluntary work in various parts of the world. The projects provide hands-on experience of a very varied nature, from teaching to helping build roads or dams.

The gap year is not just an adventure. Young people can benefit greatly from encountering new and varied experiences and from communication with a wide range of people. Perhaps most importantly, gap- year students have to learn to stand on their own two feet.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.

South Korea is developing next-generation military robots that will mimic the movements and capabilities of birds, snakes, marine creatures and even insects on the battlefields of the future. The Defence Acquisition Programme Administration (DAPA), which oversees the creation of weapons systems for the military has announced plans to develop "biobots" - robots that are based on real creatures - to be deployed as early as 2024, Yonhap News reported.

[I] There is a recognition that the South Korean military will very soon need to rely more heavily on technology to defend the nation, with a falling birthrate meaning that fewer young men are available to do their mandatory national service, which ranges from 21 months in the army to 24 months in the air force. [II] In addition, there is growing resistance among many men to obligatory military service and the South Korean government has recently made it easier for some to avoid serving, such as by claiming that it contravenes their religious beliefs. [III] Another "trick" that exempts a man from military service is tattoos that cover most of his body. [IV]

In the initial stages, bird-like androids or swimming robots will be deployed to carry out reconnaissance operations, miniature mechanical flying devices will be able to provide information on the actions of an enemy force and robots that can move like a snake will be able to access constricted spaces. As well as assisting in military operations, these devices will be able to assist in search-and-rescue operations and will have applications in areas affected by natural disasters.

The agency said it is turning to designs that have been inspired by the natural world because nature has engineered animals to survive and thrive in their environments over millions of years. The South Korean military plans to work closely with domestic technology companies, which are widely seen as among the most advanced in the world in the areas of artificial intelligence, but have less of a focus on military applications.
