of the questions from 39 to 43.
We're all faced with difficult problems on a regular basis. In fact, sometimes you might feel like you'll be crushed by the
weight of your problems. But how many of us use special creative problem-solving techniques to tackle these problems? "I didn't
know there were special techniques," you say. Believe it or not, many experts have given a lot of thought to the problem of
problem solving.
The obvious first step to solving a problem is to churn out possible solutions, right? Well, some experts say that the first
thing you should do is define the problem in detail, even if it seems obvious. Write the problem down on a piece of paper and start
asking yourself questions about it: Why is this a problem for me? What is the source of the problem? What will happen if I don't
solve the problem? What do I really want to accomplish? Keep asking questions until the well has run dry.
Once you've asked these questions and answered them, potential solutions may start popping up like popcorn. Or they may
not. If you're still stuck, some experts recommend going for a walk. That's right- you should literally walk away from the problem.
A change of scenery can inspire new ideas, and not focusing on the problem can actually open your mind to new possibilities.
If you still come up empty-handed at this point, you might try an unusual technique that some experts recommend. Open a
dictionary, or any book or magazine, and pick out the first word you see. Write down anything that word makes you think of.
Then look at your problem again. Something that you've written down may change your perspective and help you see the problem
in a different light.
(Adapted from Select Readings by Linda Lee and Jean Bernard)

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 from 44 to 50
A row of mangrove trees sticking out of the sand, exposed by low tide off Kutubdia island in the Bay of Bengal, is all that
remains of a coastal village that for generations was home to 250 families. The villagers were forced to flee as their land, which
had been slowly eroding for decades, was finally engulfed by the ever-rising tide five years ago. For the embattled people, the
distant trees serve as a bittersweet reminder of what they have lost. They also act as a warning of what is to come.
UN scientists predict some of the worst impacts of climate change will occur in south-east Asia, and that more than 25
million people in Bangladesh will be at risk from sea level rise by 2050. It is well known that many of the countries most
vulnerable to climate change are among those who contribute to it the least, and here that’s certainly true. The carbon footprint of
Kutubdia’s 100,000 islanders is small - most do not even have access to a regular electricity supply. But they fear that for them,
time is already running out.
So far, members of the fishing community of Ali Akbar Dail, perched precariously on a strip of coast next to the
embankment, have learnt to adapt to the many natural disasters thrown at them. When the cyclones hit, they hoist their children on
to their shoulders and head for the network of cyclone shelters. These shelters, along with the country’s early warning system,
have dramatically reduced fatalities. However, after a year that they say has brought more - and more powerful -storms than
before, the fishermen are engaged in a battle for survival against their only asset: the ocean.
Scientists say the sinking of islands in the Bay in Bengal is due to natural and possibly man-made climate change. Erosion
linked to storm surges, for instance, predate global warming. But sea surface temperatures, linked to sea level rise, have risen in
the Bay of Bengal. In a report published last month, scientists said they believed the higher surface temperatures in the Indian
Ocean were causing cyclones to increase their frequency and intensity.
There are too many challenges. People are losing their ancestral land, and they are having to migrate to other places. There,
they have to adapt to a new environment. But in their new home, they are still anxious and uncertain about the future.
(Adapted from On Screen by Jenny Dooley and Virgina Evans)
