There isn’t really a way for us to pick up smaller pieces of debris such as bits of paint and metal.
The United Nations asks that all companies remove their satellites from orbit within 25 years after the end of their mission. This is tricky to enforce, though, because satellites can (and often do) fail. ( ① ) To tackle this problem, several companies around the world have come up with novel solutions. ( ② ) These include removing dead satellites from orbit and dragging them back into the atmosphere, where they will burn up. ( ③ ) Ways we could do this include using a harpoon to grab a satellite, catching it in a huge net, using magnets to grab it, or even firing lasers to heat up the satellite, increasing its atmospheric drag so that it falls out of orbit. ( ④ ) However, these methods are only useful for large satellites orbiting Earth. ( ⑤ ) We just have to wait for them to naturally reenter Earth’s atmosphere. [3점]

Music is used to mold customer experience and behavior. A study was conducted that explored what impact it has on employees. Results from the study indicate that participants who listen to rhythmic music were inclined to cooperate more irrespective of factors like age, gender, and academic background, compared to those who listened to less rhythmic music. This positive boost in the participants’ willingness to cooperate was induced regardless of whether they liked the music or not. When people are in a more positive state of mind, they tend to become more agreeable and creative, while those on the opposite spectrum tend to focus on their individual problems rather than giving attention to solving group problems. The rhythm of music has a strong pull on people’s behavior. This is because when people listen to music with a steady pulse, they tend to match their actions to the beat. This translates to better teamwork when making decisions because everyone is following one tempo.
According to the study, the music played in workplaces can lead employees to be (A) because the beat of the music creates a (B) for working.
(A) (B)
① uncomfortable …… competitive mood
② cooperative …… shared rhythm
③ distracted …… shared rhythm
④ attentive …… competitive mood
⑤ indifferent …… disturbing pattern

In this day and age, it is difficult to imagine our lives without email. But how often do we consider the environmental impact of these virtual messages? At first glance, digital messages appear to (a) save resources. Unlike traditional letters, no paper or stamps are needed; nothing has to be packaged or transported. Many of us tend to assume that using email requires little more than the electricity used to power our computers. It’s easy to (b) overlook the invisible energy usage involved in running the network ― particularly when it comes to sending and storing data.
Every single email in every single inbox in the world is stored on a server. The incredible quantity of data requires huge server farms ― gigantic centres with millions of computers which store and transmit information. These servers consume (c) minimum amounts of energy, 24 hours a day, and require countless litres of water, or air conditioning systems, for cooling. The more messages we send, receive and store, the (d) more servers are needed ― which means more energy consumed, and more carbon emissions. Clearly, sending and receiving electronic messages in an environmentally conscious manner is by no means enough to stop climate change. But with a few careful, mindful changes, (e) unnecessary CO2 emissions can easily be avoided.
