Read the following passage and write the correct letter A, B, C, or D in the answer box to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions. (0.5 point)
Optimists have plenty to be happy about. In other words, if you can convince yourself that things will get
better, the odds of it happening will improve - because you keep on playing the game. In this light,
optimism “is a habitual way of explaining your setbacks to yourself”, reports Martin Seligman, the
psychology professor and author of Learned Optimism. The research shows that when times get tough,
optimists do better than pessimists - they succeed better at work, respond better to stress, suffer fewer
depressive episodes, and achieve more personal goals.
Studies also show that belief can help with the financial pinch. Chad Wallens, a social forecaster at the
Henley Centre who surveyed middle-class Britons’ beliefs about income, has found that “the people who
feel wealthiest, and those who feel poorest, actually have almost the same amount of money at their
disposal. Their attitudes and behaviour patterns, however, are different from one another.”

Optimists have something else to be cheerful about - in general, they are more robust. For example, a
study of 660 volunteers by the Yale University psychologist Dr. Becca Levy found that thinking
positively adds an average of seven years to your life. Other American research claims to have identified
a physical mechanism behind this. A Harvard Medical School study of 670 men found that optimists
have significantly better lung function. The lead author, Dr. Rosalind Wright, believes that attitude
somehow strengthens the immune system. “Preliminary studies on heart patients suggest that, by
changing a person’s outlook, you can improve their mortality risk,” she says.
Few studies have tried to ascertain the proportion of optimists in the world. But a 1995 nationwide survey
conducted by the American magazine Adweek found that about half the population counted themselves
as optimists, with women slightly more apt than men (53 per cent versus 48 per cent) to see the sunny
side.

Read the following passage and write the correct letter A, B, C, or D in the answer box to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions. (0.5 point)
People are living longer and, in some parts of the world, healthier lives. This represents one of the
crowning achievements of the last century, but also a significant challenge. Longer lives must be planned
for. Societal aging may affect economic growth and lead to many other issues, including the
sustainability of families, the ability of states and communities to provide resources for older citizens, and
international relations. The Global Burden of Disease, a study conducted by the World Health
Organization, predicts a very large increase in age-related chronic disease in all regions of the world.
Dealing with this will be a significant challenge for all countries’ health services.
Population aging is driven by declines in fertility and improvements in health and longevity. In more
developed countries, falling fertility beginning in the early 1900’s has resulted in current levels being
below the population replacement rate of two live births per woman. Perhaps the most surprising
demographic development of the past 20 years has been the pace of fertility decline in many less
developed countries. In 2006, for example, the total fertility rate was at or below the replacement rate in
44 less developed countries.

One central issue for policymakers in regard to pension funds is the relationship between the official
retirement age and actual retirement age. Over several decades in the latter part of the 20th century, many
of the more developed nations lowered the official age at which people become fully entitled to public
pension benefits. This was propelled by general economic conditions, changes in welfare philosophy, and
private pension trends. Despite the recent trend toward increased workforce participation at older ages, a
significant gap between official and actual ages of retirement persists. This trend is emerging in rapidly
aging developing countries as well. Many countries already have taken steps towards much-needed
reform of their old-age social insurance programs. One common reform has been to raise the age at which
workers are eligible for full public pension benefits. Another strategy for bolstering economic security for
older people has been to increase the contributions by workers. Other measures to enhance income for
older people include new financial instruments for private savings, tax incentives for individual
retirement savings, and supplemental occupational pension plans.
As life expectancy increases in most nations, so do the odds of different generations within a family
coexisting. In more developed countries, this has manifested itself as the ‘beanpole family,’ a vertical
extension of family structure characterized by an increase in the number of living generations within a
lineage and a decrease in the number of people within each generation. As mortality rates continue to
improve, more people in their 50’s and 60’s will have surviving parents, aunts, and uncles. Consequently,
more children will know their grandparents and even their great-grandparents, especially their great-
grandmothers. There is no historical precedent for a majority of middle-aged and older adults having
living parents.
