Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Indonesian cafe worker Rudi Hartono struggled to persuade residents of his small coastal community of
Pare-pare to follow his example and pick up rubbish strewn on the streets and beaches – until he dressed up as
Spider-Man.
“At first, I did the same activity - picking up trash and junk - without wearing this costume and it did
not attract the public’s attention in order for them to join and help,” said the 36-year-old Hartono, wearing his
red and blue Spider-Man costume. “After wearing this costume, it turns out the public’s response was
extraordinary,” he added. Hartono usually collects waste as Spider-Man before his cafe work begins at 7 p.m.
and his efforts have helped put a spotlight on the waste issue nationally. He has been interviewed by
newspapers and appeared on television chat shows dressed in his superhero costume to explain his motivation.
Initially, he admits, he bought the Spider-Man outfit simply to amuse his nephew, before others in his town took
notice.
“We need a creative role model to foster society’s active engagement in protecting the environment,”
said Saiful Bahri, a resident of Pare-pare. With a population of around 142,000, Pare-pare produces around 2.7
tonnes of unmanaged waste per day.
Hartono said he hoped the government would throw more weight behind efforts to clean up trash and
tighten rules on waste management including on single-use plastic bags. “Minimizing plastic waste is the most
important thing to do, because plastic is difficult to decompose,” he said.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Nicolas Vandenberghe’s company has 42 employees scattered among 36 cities in 15 countries. As
technology makes it possible for people to be in constant touch while working remotely, businesses like Chili
Piper are becoming the norm. “We have Zoom, Slack, and an array of other collaborative tools — do we really
need face-to-face meetings?” asks Vandenberghe, whose business makes software to help companies manage
meetings.
Whether it means a parent working from home while caring for a sick child, an employee who logs into
a company computer daily from a coffee shop or an entire firm that operates online, remote working is gaining
momentum at small businesses. Technology that makes communication and meetings easy is a big factor in the
growth of remote working. But a shrinking labour market, which means companies must now recruit employees
outside their main area of operation, is also an influential factor that should be taken into account.
Another reason why remote jobs is becoming popular is the fact that working remotely is usually very flexible;
employees can make their own hours, take time off for children’s activities or to go to the gym or walk the dog.
But even as remote working grows, business owners find managing offsite employees involves more
than giving them the latest technology. For instance, owners say a remote operation can’t work without trust
between a boss and staffers, especially because it can be difficult for an owner to know what an employee is
doing during a workday. Tyler Forte recalls that when he first managed staff remotely, he worried that his
employees were spending time on social media sites and checked on them too frequently, making them feel
uncomfortable as a result. But over time, “you know that you’re all working toward the same goals and you
eventually develop trust in them,” says Forte, adding that he has also found project management softwares that
help him keep track of what everyone is doing.
Sometimes, remote work can also be a bad fit for some employees because it often is isolating, which
means they can feel disconnected and even alienated from co-workers. That can be countered to some extent
through messaging channels that allow everyone to join a fun discussion. Some bosses even went further and
created channels devoted to specific topics such as pets, sports, etc. Meanwhile, other owners find remote work
can stifle a team’s overall creativity. “You’re able to brainstorm ideas better in person than when you’ve got
several people on the phone,” says Andrew DeBell, CEO of a company in California.

Question 45: How can managers or bosses help their remote employees feel less isolated?
A. Always keep track of what they are doing.

C. Encouraging them to join fun discussions.
D. Telling them to brainstorm ideas in meetings.

A. extent B. range C. span D. scale
