AVICII’S LIFE AFTER REHAB

Once he completed his month in rehab, Avicii seemed to have a new outlook on life. He was meditating regularly, reading about the collective unconscious, and got a puppy. After not performing for a long period of time, he returned to the stage in 2016 at Miami’s Ultra Music Festival. It was announced a few days after this gig that he would not be performing live anymore. Avicii chose to not perform so that he could focus on bettering his mental health.

Despite appearing to have new-found stability, Avicii still struggled to deal with his mental health issues. While continuing to suppress the anxiety and depression that he frequently felt, Avicii also started to become disinterested in his music career. During this time, he was smoking and drinking on occasion which may have resulted in a resurgence of his disassociation feelings.

He told Tereza Kacerova, his girlfriend at the time, “What if everyone around me is just a projection in my mind? Sometimes I just think these things. About how nothing really matters.”

Avicii started to focus heavily on meditation which he found to be helpful in clearing the “nonsense” from his mind. He believed that a deep form of meditation taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi was a way to exercise his brain which he had decided would lead to his happiness. Despite this form of meditation typically being done in 20 minute increments, Avicii would sometimes spend full days meditating in an attempt to reach enlightenment faster.

Read the following passage about the urban shift 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.

DEPENDENCE ON TECHNOLOGY: TIME FOR CHANGE!

[I] Los Angeles dancer, Brian Perez, was eating out with his friends one evening when suddenly everyone went quiet. [II] To his horror, he saw that the reason for this was that people were checking their phones. [III] What if they all put their gadgets in a pile in the middle of the table until they had finished the meal? [IV] If anyone picked up their phone, that person would have to pay the whole bill. And so, it is said, the game of 'phone stacking' was born.

The necessity for action like this highlights a major problem in today's society: our inability to disconnect from technology. But while Brian's idea deals with the obsession in a social context, measures also need to be taken at home. Some people drop their smartphones into a box the moment they arrive home, which gives them the chance to interact with the people they live with. The fact that the phone cannot be heard - it is on silent - nor seen - the flashing lights are hidden by the box - means that they are no longer tempted to use it.

A less drastic solution is to ban electronic devices at certain times of day when the whole family is likely to be together, for example at meal times. This can be hard for everyone, from teenagers desperate to text friends to parents unable to switch off from work. On a normal day, however, dinner takes less than an hour, and the benefits of exchanging opinions and anecdotes with the rest of the family certainly makes up for the time spent offline.

Taking a break from technology is one thing, but knowing when to turn off a device is another. Time seems to stand still in the virtual world, and before you know it, you find that it is three o'clock in the morning. This is where a digital curfew comes in handy, a set time when all devices must be put away. Evenings without technology are usually nice and peaceful and make a more agreeable end to the day. And then it's time for bed. One of the best ways of ensuring you can sleep at night is to ban electronic devices altogether from the bedroom. Lying next to a machine bursting with information is far from relaxing, and the sounds it emits during the night can easily wake you up. With technology out of the room, a line has been drawn between daytime and sleep time, which enables us to switch off ourselves and drift off to sleep.

Question 31. Where in paragraph I does the following sentence best fit?

Realising he had to do something to stop this, Brian made a rather daring suggestion.

A. [I]	B. [II]	C. [III]	D. [IV]

Question 33. The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to	.

A. fact	B. phone	C. light	D. box

Question 34: According to paragraph 1, Brian Perez was shocked to find that	.

A. people were willing to remove all their gadgets	B. the prices for food were too expensive

C. people were glued to their phones	D. everyone seemed quiet by nature

Question 35: Which of the following best summarises the paragraph 3?

A. Banning electronic devices during family meals helps improve communication and connection.

B. Parents find it easy to disconnect from work during meal times.

C. Family meals should be brief to accommodate everyone’s schedules.

D. Teenagers resist limits on device use but benefit from family interaction.

Question 36: The word “ban” in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to	.

B. Meal times are the most suitable for the whole family to use phones together.

C. Teenagers can find it easier to turn off their phones compared to their parents.

D. Brian's idea is not new in terms of making people less dependent on technology.

Question 38: The word “highlights” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to	.

A. tackles	B. expects	C. proposes	D. emphasizes

Question 39. Which of the following best paraphrases the sentence "With technology out of the room, a line has been drawn between daytime and sleep time"?

A. Removing devices from the bedroom helps distinguish between waking hours and rest.

B. Keeping technology in the bedroom allows for better sleep quality.

C. Limiting device usage at night makes it easier to stay awake.

D. Having devices in the bedroom is beneficial for sleep routines.

Question 40: Which of the following best summarises the passage?

A. Frequent technology use can enhance family communication, but it often leads to disconnection during important moments.

B. Setting boundaries on device usage is essential for fostering meaningful interactions among family members.

C. While technology offers benefits, it can disrupt family life, necessitating limits on its use during shared times.

D. Families should embrace technology fully, as it provides more opportunities for communication and connection.
