Read the following text. Choose the best word(s) for each numbered blank and mark A, B, C, or D
on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points).
People have speculated for centuries about a future without work,.Today is no different, with
academics, writers, and activists once again_1_ warning that technology is replacing human
workers. Some imagine that the coming work-free world will be defined by_2_ inequality: A few
wealthy people will own all the capital, and the masses will struggle in an impoverished wasteland.
A different and not mutually exculsive _3_ holds that the future will be a wasteland of a different
sort, one _4_by purposelessness: Without jobs to give their lives _5_, people will simply become
lazy and depressed. _6_, today’s unemployed don’t seem to be having a great time. One Gallup
poll found that 20 percent of Americans who have been unemployed for at least a year report
having depression, double the rate for _7_Americans. Also, some research suggests that the _8_
for rising rates of mortality, mental-health problems, and addiction _9_ poorly-educated,
middle-aged people is a shortage of well-paid jobs. Another study shows that people are often
happier at work than in their free time. Perhaps this is why many _10_ about the agonizing
dullness of a jobless future. But it doesn’t _11_ follow from findings like these that a world
without work would be filled with malaise. Such visions are based on the_12_of being
unemployed in a society built on the concept of employment. In the _13_ of work, a society
designed with other ends in mind could _14_ strikingly different circumstances for the future of
labor and leisure. Today, the _15_ of work may be a bit overblown. “Many jobs are boring,
degrading, unhealthy, and a squandering of human potential,”says John Danaher, a lecturer at the
National University of Ireland in Galway who has written about a world without work. “Global
surveys find that the vast majority of people are unhappy at work.”These days, because
leisure time is relatively _16_ for most workers, people use their free time to counterbalance the
intellectual and emotional _17_ of their jobs. “When I come home from a hard day’s work, I

often feel _18_,”Danaher says, adding, “In a world in which I don’t have to work, I might feel
rather different”— perhaps different enough to throw himself _19_a hobby or a passion project
with the intensity usually reserved for _20_ matters.

Text 1
Every Saturday morning, at 9 am, more than 50,000 runners set off to run 5km around their
local park. The Parkrun phenomenon began with a dozen friends and has inspired 400 events in
the UK and more abroad. Events are free, staffed by thousands of volunteers. Runners range from
four years old to grandparents; their times range from Andrew Baddeley’s world record 13
minutes 48 seconds up to an hour.
Parkrun is succeeding where London’s Olympic “legacy” is failing. Ten years ago on
