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 questions from 28 to 34.
In the last few decades, the world of work has dramatically changed how people earn their living and
plan their work lives. This new labour market is evolving at accelerating speed as old industrial-age jobs
are replaced by knowledge-based work and information technology continues to alter how we work, play
and learn. This dramatic change in how goods and services are produced and distributed has been labelled
the “New Economy.” The old economy was based on resources; the New Economy is based on
knowledge and is driven by technology and information.
Working in new ways: In this New Economy, new forms of work are being created, as employment in a
“job-for-life” is replaced by a variety of “work alternatives.” These work alternatives can include working
part time, contracting, consulting or owning a business where you hire your own employees.
In British Columbia, more and more people are working in this way, and economists are predicting that
this trend will continue in the future. Career counsellors are encouraging people to prepare for these work
alternatives rather than for just a full-time job.
New thinking for a new millennium: The New Economy demands that we change our thinking about the
labour market. Traditional job patterns that we took for granted for most of the last century have
disappeared. Letting go of the way things used to be in the world of work is one of the hardest challenges
that career planners face today. Here are some trends that all workers will have to adapt to:
Change: Rapid change will be constant in the workplace of the new millennium. Those who understand
change and can manage it effectively will be more successful.
Just-in-time training: In the information economy, it is impossible to leam everything you need to know
ahead of time to do a job. Rapid learning will be commonplace. The advantage will go to those who can
leam - and instruct - the fastest. Workers must commit to continuous learning throughout their life or
work.
Fusion: Job classifications and occupational titles will become less important. The jobs of the future
will be hyphenated; in other words, there will be a fusion of titles like carpenter-architect, accountant-
sales rep, or graphic designer-webmaster. Being able to combine a variety of skills to apply to a particular
task will be increasingly important.
Self-reliance: Work is becoming more “entrepreneurial” in the sense that workers have to be prepared
for a variety of work alternatives and take the initiative to market their skills more creatively. As a result,
people will need to be more responsible for their own career development. The notion of “career self-
management” is emerging as a means not only of surviving in the New Economy, but also of thriving and
making the best of its new opportunities.

Trang 3/7
 Emphasis on skills: Workers can no longer expect long-term job security, but they can rely on “skills
security”. If workers keep their skills up-to-date and market them effectively in areas of the economy that
are growing, they will be able to find work. An essential ingredient of career self-management is knowing
and developing skill sets and then finding areas of work where they can be applied.
Balance in life/work: Information technology is fuelling the accelerating pace of change. We are
“plugged in” to work more than ever before through communications (e-mail, phone, fax, pagers, the
Internet). To maintain their health and well-being, workers will have to rethink how and where they work
and find balance between earning a living and living their lives.
Finding opportunity. In this New Economy, it is beneficial for people to use their creativity to find new
opportunities where they can apply their skills and abilities. This means keeping an open mind about
where and how you work.
The New Economy is very different from the old. It offers even more opportunities to find challenging,
rewarding and satisfying work. If you spend time and energy planning for this new reality, you will be
able to create a career plan that offers excitement, anticipation and hope for the future.

B. They may keep their mind open to welcome the new trends.
D. They have to plan and manage their career better.
D. They can get the job excitement more easily in the New Economy.

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 questions from 35 to 42.
It is hard to think of a world without gas or electricity. Both are commonly used for lighting and heating
today. We now can instantly flick a lighter or strike a match to make a flame. But it was not long ago that
there were no such things as matches or lighters. To make fire, it was necessary to strike a piece of iron
on flint for sparks to ignite some tinder. If the tinder was damp, or the flint old, you had to borrow some
fire from a neighbor.
We do not know exactly when or how people first used fire. Perhaps, many ages ago, they found that
sticks would bum if they were dropped into some hole where melted lava from a volcano lay boiling.
They brought the lighted sticks back to make their fire in a cave. Or, they may have seen trees catch fire
through being struck by lightning, and used the trees to start their own fires.
Gradually people learned they could start a fire without traveling far to find flames. They rubbed two
pieces of wood together. This method was used for thousands of years.
When people became used to making fires with which to cook food and stay warm at night, they found
that certain resins or gums from trees burnt longer and brighter. They melted resins and dipped branches
in the liquid to make torches that lit their homes at night. Iron stands in which torches used to be fixed can
still be seen in old buildings of Europe.
There was no lighting in city streets until gas lamps, and then electric lamps were installed. Boys ran
about London at night carrying torches of burning material. They were called torch boys, or link boys,
and earned a living by guiding visitors to friends’ houses at night.
For centuries homes were lit by candles until oil was found. Even then, oil lamps were no more
effective than a cluster of candles. We read about the splendors and marvels of ancient palaces and
castles, but we forget that they must have been gloomy and murky places at night.
