This text is for question number 1 to 4.
[1] Women with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often live undiagnosed. This diagnosis gap happens partly
because it's a condition that was traditionally thought to affect mostly men, but also because women tend to have less
obvious or socially disruptive symptoms than men.

[2] One of the reasons why ADHD frequently goes undiagnosed in women and girls is that their symptoms often differ
from those of men and boys. ADHD comes in three presentations: inattentive, hyperactive/impulsive, or a combination of
the two. Men and boys tend to have hyperactive/impulsive ADHD, which may cause them to be fidgety, always on the go,
disruptive, restless, talkative, impulsive, impatient, and have mood swings. Women, on the other hand, have a tendency to
exhibit inattentive ADHD, which makes it hard to focus, pay attention to details, stay organized, listen, and remember
things.

[3] The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that boys are more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD than
girls (12.9\% vs. 5.6\%). However, research suggests that this disparity is not because boys are more susceptible but instead
because girls are consistently underdiagnosed.

[4] ADHD symptoms in girls are often viewed as character traits rather than symptoms of a condition. For example, a girl
might be described as spacey, forgetful, or chatty. Later in life, a woman might reach out for help for her symptoms, only
to be diagnosed with depression or anxiety instead.

Which paragraph informs about the symptoms of ADHD according to their gender?

A. Paragraph 1
B. Paragraph 2
C. Paragraph 3
D. Paragraph 4
E. None of the above

This text is for question number 5 to 9.

“Why, when something is adorable, do we get the urge to squeeze it and squish it?” National Geographic's Emily Tye
asked Saturday’s Weird Animal Question of the Week. “Seems dangerous, evolutionarily speaking!”

Rest assured, Emily: you’re not alone. In a 2015 study in Psychological Science , Yale University psychologist Oriana
Aragon and team asked a group of people to rate how cute some baby pictures are and write how they feel. They found
that people who gave extremely positive scores also “displayed strong aggressive expressions,” such as wanting to pinch or
squish the babies' cheeks.

Speaking of such expressions, another experiment in the aforementioned study found that participants popped
more bubble wrap when they saw images of baby animals than those who viewed images of older animals. This shows
that, if given the chance to crush something while seeing cute animals, they would—though Aragon speculates that they
probably don’t desire so with any real intent to harm the creatures.

So what explains this impulse to squeeze or nibble adorable animals? For some people, experiencing a strong
emotion is followed by “an expression of what one would think is an opposing feeling," says Aragon. "For instance, you may
throw up in the presence of your idol, have nervous laughter, or desire to squeeze something that you think is unbearably
cute"—even if it's an animal you’d normally want to cuddle or protect.

(1) That opposing reaction may also serve to “temper” their initial overwhelming emotion, thus bringing the person
into balance. (2) The word “temper” means “to act as a neutralizing or counterbalancing force”. (3) For instance, the 2015
study showed people who had such positive and negative concurrent reactions regained their emotional equilibrium more
quickly. (4) And if you’re caring for something adorable, that’s important. (5) “Because they may help people to regain
control over their intense emotions, these aggressive expressions help the caretaker to care for an animal or baby
appropriately,” Aragon says.

This text for question number 10 to 13.

[ ...]

The term also applies to human behavior, and it usually describes large numbers of people acting the same way at
the same time. It often has a connotation of irrationality, as people's actions are driven by emotion rather than by thinking
through a situation.  [1]  Human herd behavior can be observed at large-scale demonstrations, riots, strikes, religious
gatherings, sports events, and outbreaks of mob violence. [2] When herd behavior sets in, an individual person's judgment
and opinion-forming process shuts down as he or she automatically follows the group's movement and behavior.

Herd behavior in humans is frequently observed at times of danger and panic; for example, a fire in a building
often causes herd behavior, with people often suspending their individual reasoning and fleeing together in a pack. People
in a crisis that requires escape will attempt to move faster than normal, copy the actions of others, interact physically with
each other, and ignore alternative strategies in favor of following the mass escape trend.

Herd behavior does not always have such harmful effects; it can be influential in people's everyday, simple
decisions. For example, suppose that a family is walking down the street looking for a restaurant to have dinner. If they
pass a restaurant that is empty and one that is relatively crowded with patrons, they are far more likely to choose the
crowded one, on the assumption that it's better because there are more people there. Herding can be subtle in this way; it
simply involves people's tendency to follow a crowd rather than carve out an individual path in many situations.

No. 10
The previous passage is most likely about ....

A. how to spot herd behavior during a social activity

No. 11

A. Sentence 1 talks about the effects of herd behavior and sentence 2 describes the consequences.

C. Sentence 1 provides situations of herd behavior possibly occurring and sentence 2 describes its effects on an
individual.
D. Sentence 2 provides the effects happening to an individual due to the consequences in sentence 1 taking place.
E. Sentence 1 provides places of possible herd behavior and sentence 2 explains the negative disadvantages

No. 12
What is the author's attitude towards the topic?

A. Dismissive
B. Vindictive
C. Skeptical
D. Objective
E. Doubtful
