the correct answer to each of the questions from 39 to 43.
Florists, personal trainers, professors, and nutritionists all have healthy jobs according to
research. There are many reasons for this. A florist, for example, sells flowers and plants to
customers. This is very relaxing work. A personal trainer, on the other hand, is usually very fit.
He or she trains other people to lose weight and to keep fit.
 However, research also shows that some jobs are 'unhealthy'. They cause a lot of stress and
worry. For example, a taxi driver drives all day. He often faces traffic jams and difficult
passengers too. A firefighter puts out dangerous fires and sometimes saves people from burning
buildings.
Most people are looking for the perfect job. They want a job that is interesting, with a good
salary and not much stress. However, it is difficult to get everything. Healthy, relaxing jobs are
usually not very well paid. On the other hand, people with stressful jobs often get good salaries.
For example, the head of a big company gets a lot of money, but he or she does not always have
good health, or the time to enjoy life.

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 44 to 50.
The next time you're out in a public place, like a park or a restaurant, look around you. What
is happening? Some people are surfing the internet on their phones. Others are wearing
headphones, listening to music on their MP3 players. That's just the way life is today. We all
spend a fair amount of our time connected to technology.
Now imagine living in a world without smartphones, tablets or any of the electronic gadgets
we take for granted these days. There's no internet and you go to the library and look at a book
when you want to find anything out. You play outside with friends in the real world instead of
playing online video games in virtual worlds. There are no texts, no DVDs and no email.
Welcome to 1986!
 That's the world the McMillan family from Ontario, Canada, decided to live in for a year.
Blair, 27, Morgan, 28, and their two sons Trey and Denton, aged five and three, got rid of their
cable TV, smartphones, internet, new games console, digital camera, DVD player and sat nav,
and instead used an old TV, a radio, old telephones, a VHS video player, an old games console
and maps. They decided to try it after seeing how their young children were becoming
dependent on technology. They aren't alone. More and more parents today worry about the
effect technology is having on their children, particularly very young children.
The McMillans decided to get back to basics to see how things have changed. So how did
they find their year without modem technology? ‘I thought Blair was mad when he suggested
doing this whole thing,’ says Morgan, but it's made me realise how much time we wasted. We
seem much more relaxed now, not checking in on email or Facebook all the time.’ The
McMillans are now back in the present with a different attitude to today's technology. Blair said,
‘I'm not anti-technology. I wanted to taste, and I wanted my kids to taste what it would be like
without it, and to see if we could actually do it.”
