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 23 to 30.

Cultural conflicts happen because people misunderstand contextual information. Different cultures attach different levels of importance to context when they communicate, so the same message may be understood differently. Because of this, knowing how people rely on context is vital for reducing confusion and improving communication across cultures.

There are generally two types of cultures: high-context cultures and low-context cultures. High-context cultures, such as those in East Asian and Middle Eastern countries, focus heavily on the situation of a message. Much meaning is implied rather than said directly, so speakers need to know the relationship and setting before understanding the words. These cultures value suggested ideas more than the exactness of words.

In contrast, low-context cultures, such as Germany or America, are characterized by clear communication, precise wording, detailed messages, and consistent speaking styles. They place great importance on the actual message, and its meaning is usually easier to understand and more direct. Communication is more detailed and exact because people rely less on outside factors to shape meaning. Every word matters, and accuracy is necessary to avoid misunderstanding, especially in formal or professional situations.

These contextual differences are easy to see in the business world. A Japanese contract is often shorter because much information is assumed within the high-context culture. An American contract, however, is longer and more detailed to ensure nothing is left confusing. Understanding these differences helps people communicate more effectively across cultures and build stronger relationships, encouraging deeper cooperation and mutual respect in diverse international settings.

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 31 to 40.

[I] In today’s quickly changing job market, where long-term employment is now a luxury, the idea of career cushioning has become increasingly important. [II] The rapid changes that followed restructuring, AI-driven change and mergers revealed how fast even stable jobs can disappear. [III] Career cushioning means preparing alternative options – such as improving skills, building networks, or exploring part-time opportunities – before problems arise. [IV]

An essential component of career cushioning is broadening one’s work experience across diverse professional settings. Many individuals apply for apprenticeships, join short training courses, or take on casual work to expand their abilities. These experiences provide useful skills and insight into different fields. Although they may be temporary, they can still offer security by opening new opportunities. This ongoing development widens opportunities and helps them maintain momentum even when market conditions shift unexpectedly.

The growth of remote work and digital communication has also changed how people prepare for possible job loss. Workers now recognize the importance of transferable skills – such as digital literacy, strong communication, and analytical thinking – which can be used in many professions. Employers are increasingly interested in adaptable employees who show initiative and responsibility. As companies, together with their departments, divisions, and workers, reshape their structures to respond to global changes, workers with a wider range of skills usually have better protection against sudden layoffs or reorganization, whereas those who rely mainly on technical specialization may find it harder to adapt to new roles.

In the end, career cushioning represents a fresh way of thinking about job security. Rather than depending on only one full-time position, individuals create several paths toward stability. This approach can be a new mindset, a practical strategy, a rewarding method, and it helps people reduce stress while discovering new interests and career options. Although uncertainty will always exist, preparing early allows individuals to respond more confidently when change arrives.
