Read the following passage about great jobs and mark the letter A, B, C, or to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30. 

Some people love working so much that it doesn't feel like work. But most people are not so lucky. They need money to live, so they need a job. However, they don't love their work, and they feel unhappy. And because they are unhappy, they may not work hard. Luckily, some people and companies are trying to improve things. 

Dan Price is the CEO of a company based in Seattle. In 2015, he raised the salaries of all of his workers to 70,000 dollars a year, much higher than the average income in the United States. To pay for this, he cut his own salary to the same amount. Interestingly, according to a study by Princeton University in 2010 about salaries, people who make around 75,000 dollars each year are happier and feel more satisfaction than those who make less or more money. Since Price made his decision, his workers have been happier and his company has been more thriving. 

Money is one reason why some workers are unhappy with their jobs. Another reason is working too many hours. Perpetual Guardian, a company based in New Zealand, wanted staff to have a better work-life balance. The company came up with a plan. Its staff were paid for five days, but they only had to work four days each week. Not surprisingly, workers were happier and more satisfied. 

Many studies show that people who do things are happier than people who buy things. For example, going on a road trip or learning to play the guitar is better than buying a car or guitar. The famous company Airbnb wants its staff to have great experiences. Workers get 2,000 dollars each year to stay at Airbnb properties anywhere in the world. As a result, many people who work at Airbnb love their jobs.

Read the following passage about media in the past and mark the letter A, B, C, or to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40. 

The printed newspaper in the 17th century marked a turning point in the dissemination of news and the formation of public opinion. Then, the 19th century witnessed the creation of photography, which profoundly modified how we consume information. The two great inventions laid the foundation for today's media landscape. 

Photographs had a huge impact on newspapers. The articles accompanied by visual representations of events added a level of realism that words alone couldn't achieve. Illustrated by photos, books featuring difficult topics helped people learn more effectively, and newspaper articles became more understandable to different kinds of readers. Important images captured social movements, wars and historical moments, influencing the public perception and, at times, even the course of history. Moreover, photos significantly increased the emotional impact of news coverage on readers and helped create powerful reactions from them.

(I) Newspapers and photojournalism have a lasting impact globally, even beyond traditional print. (II) Thanks to the fast development of the Internet, images and videos have become powerful tools to grab attention and tell stories around the world in digital and social media. (III) In other words, words together with photos have been utilised to help people not only understand different messages but also encourage them to take action on certain topics. (IV) 

The seeds of today's media were sown centuries ago when newspapers started as the first means of mass communication to the public, and photography added persuasive visual elements. By understanding the past creations, we can have valuable insights into how the modern media landscape functions
