Question 16:

A.         Because sensory switching affects our brains, we must take breaks from screens. When we rest, our brains can focus better, so we are happier and healthier.

B.         Although multi-channel media is interesting, it has bad effects because your brain cannot rest. If you use many screens, then you feel more tired and confused.

C.         Today, we watch many screens because our brains must switch between different information. When you use a phone, computer, and television at the same time, your brain works very hard.

D.         Many people listen to music and read messages while they watch videos. But your brain cannot focus on everything, so the information is lost.

e.        When you switch between screens, your brain gets tired because it must change attention very fast. This is called "sensory switching," and it happens many times every day.

C.         Although people come from different places, they can learn and create art together. So everyone feels happy when they see art from other cultures mixed with their own.

D.         Because AI is a bridge between traditions, it helps people understand each other better. If we share art this way, then the world becomes more beautiful and connected.

e.        For example, music from Africa and music from Asia can be mixed together because AI understands both styles. Dance and painting can also come together in new ways.

Read the following passage about Digital Amnesia: A Modern Problem and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.

Digital amnesia is becoming a serious issue in our world today. This phenomenon happens when people depend too much on their electronic devices to store information. Many individuals cannot remember their friends' phone numbers or important dates because smartphones keep this data safely. Instead of using our own brains to remember things, we trust technology to do the work for us. This shift in how we use memory is happening everywhere, affecting both young and old people around the globe.

The consequences of this growing dependency are quite concerning. When our devices break down or information gets lost, we suddenly face real problems because essential data disappears. We lose access to crucial information that we should have remembered ourselves. Security also becomes a big worry because people forget their passwords and rely too much on automatic storage features. The report from Kaspersky shows that this habit weakens not only our memory but also our protection against cyber threats.

Additionally, both teenagers and adults struggle with this challenge equally. Nobody is safe from this trend because almost everyone uses mobile devices every day. Whether you are a student or a professional, you probably depend on your gadget for basic information. This universal issue shows how technology has changed the way our minds work. We have become comfortable with outsourcing our memory to machines instead of training our brains.

To solve this problem, experts suggest developing better digital habits immediately. People need to improve their cybersecurity awareness and practice safer methods of managing their information. Instead of relying completely on devices, individuals should make an effort to remember important details. By taking responsibility for their own memory and data protection, users can reduce risks and build healthier relationships with technology. This requires conscious effort and discipline from everyone.

Read the following passage about the COPYCAT CRIME AND MEDIA INFLUENCE and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.

A copycat crime describes a criminal action where someone imitates another offense that has previously received public attention. The phrase "monkey see, monkey do" perfectly captures how these offenders replicate what they have witnessed through various channels. The original wrongdoing usually gains extensive media coverage through television, newspapers, or social platforms, which then inspires vulnerable individuals to commit similar acts. [I] This phenomenon demonstrates the powerful connection between media exposure and criminal behavior in modern society.

Research indicates that media presentation significantly shapes copycat conduct. [II] When crimes are reported with dramatic details and sensational language, they unintentionally provide susceptible people with ideas or feelings of connection to the initial offender. High-profile violent incidents like mass shootings or serial killings particularly tend to encourage imitation, though lesser crimes can also be duplicated. The intensity of reporting, combined with graphic descriptions, amplifies the risk of copycat incidents occurring within communities.

Multiple circumstances determine whether someone will commit a copycat offense. [III] The amount of media attention received, personal similarities between offenders, and the psychological condition of the individual all contribute significantly. Additionally, easy access to information through digital platforms increases opportunities for potential criminals to learn details about previous cases. Understanding these factors helps authorities and journalists recognize their responsibility in preventing such occurrences from spreading throughout society.

To address this serious concern, specialists recommend implementing more conscientious and measured media reporting practices. [IV] News organizations should avoid sensational coverage that glorifies criminal behavior or provides step-by-step instructions. By reducing unnecessary details and avoiding dramatic storytelling, media outlets can substantially decrease copycat crime rates. This balanced approach protects public safety while maintaining journalistic integrity and social responsibility in reporting significant events to audiences worldwide.
