Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.

(16)A recent study found that 10 percent of British children suffer from math anxiety.This means they have overwhelming negative emotions towards the subject,ranging from rage to despair.Other emotions triggered by math include feelings of tension and frustration.Physical symptoms include a racing heart or struggling to catch breath.

The phenomenon of math anxiety is characterized as a general sense of feling that the subject is hard compared with other subjects leading to a subsequentlack orlossof confidence

Researchers said they investigated individuals'attitudes towards mathematics becauseof what could be referred to as a mathematics crisis in the UK.(17)There's a widespread misunderstanding that only low performing children suffer from math anxiety.People automatically assume children are anxious about math because they are poorachicvers.

In fact,more than three quarters of children with high levels of math anxiety are normal to high achievers.

Probably their math anxiety willgo unnoticed because their performance isgood.Butin thelong term their performance is negatively affected.

So the real dangerhere isthat children who will completely able to do math at a normal level may keep away from it becausethey feel anxious.

Math anxiety can severely disrupt students'performance in the subject in both primary and secondary school.(18) But importantly—and surprisingly—this new study suggests that the majority of students experiencing math anxiety have normal to high math ability.

16.What did a recent study find about some British children?

A)They have little talent for learning math.

B)They need medical help for math anxiety.

C)They need extra help to catch up in the math class.

D)They have strong negative emotions towards math.

17.What is the widespread misunderstanding about math anxiety?

A)It will gradually pass away without teachers'help.

B)It affects low performing children only.

C)It is related to a child's low intelligence.

D)It exists mostly among children from poor families.

18.What does the passage say about British students with math anxiety?

A)Most of them have average to strong math ability.

B)Most of them get timely help from their teachers.

C)They will regain confidence with counselling.

D)They are mostly secondary school students.

Questions 19 to 21 are basel on the passage you have just heard.

People spend a lot of time using phones and computers.Much of that time is devoted totext messages and social media.But many people choose to spend their timeplaying computergames.

For years,parents and teachers have worried that these games might be addictive.(19)And now,the World Health Organization has recognized addiction to computer games as a disease.The organization explains that this decision reflects general agreement among experts around the world that some people have a problem withthese games.They show a pattern of behavior characterized by a lack of control.(20)Such people make computer games a priority over their responsibilities.They may play games instead of attending school,or work,or socializing.

According to the World Health Organization experts,people's use of computer games is different from their use of theInternet,social media and online shopping.These experts claim there is not sufficient data to indicate that people's reliance on those other activities is an addiction.But they argue that playing computer games to access is different.This behavior can become a disorder.To meet the new definition for addiction, the behavior must damage a person's relationships or performance at school or work,and this must last for at least a year.(21)Still not all behavior experts agree.Some argue thatthere's not enough research on the subject.Thus,they claim it is too carly to call computer game addiction a disorder.

Despite these existing recommendations,there isnothingregarding the cover color.Why?(24)Simply put,countries  stick to darker and more conservative colors because they appear more official.And they can also hide dirt and wear. While there's little innovation when it comes to passport cover color,the same cannot be said for the pages.
