Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 53 to 60.

Inside a dimly lit warehouse in Brooklyn, vintage arcade machines illuminate rows of eager visitors with their neon glow. Weekly attendance at Retro Gaming Haven has quadrupled since its opening last spring, reflecting a broader cultural phenomenon. As economic uncertainty looms, consumer spending on nostalgic entertainment and memorabilia continues to surge across demographics.

Market analysis from the Consumer Behavior Institute shows unprecedented growth in memory-centric industries. Vinyl record sales have climbed 80% annually, while retro gaming platforms thrive through archived content. Contemporary audiences gravitate toward past-era entertainment, as it evokes emotional resonance through shared cultural touchstones. Digital platforms curating vintage content report viewer retention rates 35% higher than modern entertainment channels, highlighting a significant shift in consumption patterns across various age groups and social demographics.

Research by Social Psychology Quarterly shows nostalgia-driven consumption intensifies during social change periods. Consumers direct significant entertainment spending toward reimagined cultural artifacts. Visual aesthetics from previous decades permeate contemporary design, garnering particular appeal among young professionals. Studies show audiences engage more deeply with content involving collective memory, spending 45% more time with vintage-inspired media formats across multiple platforms than with current entertainment.

In response, entertainment conglomerates reshape marketing around memory-driven experiences. Production studios amalgamate period-specific elements into contemporary offerings while streaming platforms spotlight archived content through recommendation algorithms. Industry metrics show that vintage-inspired content maintains strong viewer engagement across demographics. Cultural analysts observe how retrospective entertainment elements crystallize community connections through shared historical references, fostering social cohesion. Memory-centric programming drives robust discussion in digital forums, where audiences examine cultural significance through modern perspectives and shared experiences, creating lasting connections between past and present entertainment forms while building bridges across different consumer segments.

Read the following passage 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 61 to 70.

[I] In today's society, celebrities wield significant influence over young people. [II] With the rise of platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, celebrities can easily connect with their audience, creating a more personal relationship that often translates into admiration and emulation. [III] This dynamic can lead to both positive and negative effects on youth, making it a crucial topic of discussion. [IV]

On one hand, celebrities can inspire young people to pursue their dreams and passions. Many celebrities use their platforms to advocate for important social issues, such as mental health awareness, environmental conservation, and equality. For instance, figures like Selena Gomez and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson have openly discussed their struggles with mental health, encouraging young people to seek help and destigmatize these conversations. Such visibility can empower youth to take action and make positive changes in their lives and communities.

However, the influence of celebrities is not always beneficial. The unrealistic standards of beauty, success, and lifestyle often promoted by celebrities can lead to feelings of inadequacy among young people. When celebrities flaunt extravagant lifestyles or promote unattainable beauty ideals, it can create pressure on youth to conform to these images, potentially leading to issues like low self-esteem and body image disorders. Furthermore, the glamorization of negative behaviors, such as substance abuse or reckless living, can have detrimental effects on impressionable minds.

In conclusion, while celebrities hold the power to inspire and motivate young people, their influence can also lead to negative consequences. It is essential for youth to develop critical thinking skills and to recognize that celebrity lifestyles are often curated and not representative of reality. Encouraging a balanced perspective on celebrity influence can help empower young people to make informed choices and to follow their own paths rather than simply imitating those they admire.

Question 61. Where in paragraph 1 does the following sentence best fit?

A. [IV]

B. [II]

C. [I]

B. reinforce

C. normalize

D. trivialize

Question 63. The word “their” in paragraph 2 refers to ____________.

C. celebrities

D. passions

Question 64. According to paragraph 2, which of the following is NOT a reason why celebrities can inspire young people?

A. discussing their personal struggles

B. encouraging positive changes in communities

C. advocating for important social issues

D. promoting beauty standards

Question 65. Which of the following best summarises paragraph 3?

A. Celebrity influence can negatively affect young people by promoting unrealistic beauty standards and lifestyles, leading to low self-esteem and the glamorization of harmful behaviors.

B. The glamorization of negative behaviors by celebrities can harm impressionable young minds and it should be addressed.

C. Celebrity influence can lead to feelings of inadequacy among young people due to unrealistic beauty standards they promote.

D. The extravagant lifestyles flaunted by celebrities create pressure on youth to conform to unattainable ideals.

Question 66. The word “unattainable” in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ____________.

A. impossible

B. unrealistic

C. achievable

D. avoidable

Question 67. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Celebrities only promote harmful behaviors and have no positive impact.

B. The impact of celebrities on youth can be both beneficial and harmful.

C. All young people blindly follow celebrity lifestyles without question.

D. The influence of celebrities on young people is entirely positive.

Question 68. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined part in paragraph 4?

A. Young individuals should focus on building their critical thinking skills and understand that celebrity lifestyles are portrayed in a way that reflects real-life experiences.

B. It is vital for youth to improve their reasoning skills and understand that the lives of celebrities are often underestimated and not a true reflection of everyday life.

C. Young people need to enhance their critical thinking abilities and recognize that celebrity lifestyles are usually fabricated and always depict actual reality.

D. It is important for young people to cultivate critical thinking skills and understand that celebrity lifestyles are frequently crafted and do not accurately reflect reality.

Question 69. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A. Many young people believe that celebrity lifestyles are realistic and attainable for everyone.

B. A balanced view of celebrity influence can enable young people to make reasoned life choices.

C. Celebrities have a responsibility to shape the values and decisions of young people positively.

D. Young people understand the realities behind celebrity lifestyles but often choose to imitate them.

Question 70. Which of the following best summarises the passage?

A. Celebrities can inspire young people, but their influence also creates unrealistic expectations, making critical thinking essential for informed choices.

B. Young people are influenced by social media and often admire celebrities without questioning their lifestyles or values critically.

C. The influence of celebrities is primarily negative, promoting unattainable beauty standards that lead to low self-esteem among youth.
