Section B

Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Bill Drayton believes w e’re in the middle of a necessary but painful historical transition. For

millenniums most people's lives had a certain ___31___. You went to school to learn a trade or a

skill-baking, farming or accounting. Then you could go into the workforce and make a good living

repeating the same skill over the course of your career.

But these days machines can do pretty much anything that’s ___32___. The new world

requires a different sort of person. Drayton calls this new sort of personal changemaker.

Changemakers are people who can see the patterns around them, identify the problems in any

situation, figure out ways to solve the problem, organize fluid teams, lead collective action and

then ___33___ adapt as situations change.

For example, Ashoka fellow Andres Gallardo is a Mexican who lived in a high crime

neighborhood. He created an app, called Haus, that allows people to __34____ with their

neighbors. The app has a panic button that ___35___ everybody in the neighborhood when a

crime is happening. It allows neighbors to organize, chat, share crime statistics and work together.

To form and lead this community of communities, Gallardo had to possess what Drayton

calls “cognitive empathy-based living for the good of all”. Cognitive empathy is the ability to

perceive ho w people are feeling in ___36___ circumstances. “For the good of all” is the capacity

to build teams.

It doesn’t matter if you are working in the cafeteria or the inspection line of a plant,

companies will now only hire people who can ___37___ problems and organize responses.

Millions of people already live with this mind-set. But a lot of people still inhabit the world

of following rules and repetitive skills. They hear society telling them: “We don't need you. We

don’t need your kids, either.” Of course, those people go into reactionary mode and strike back.

The central ___38___ of our time, Drayton says, is to make everyone a changemaker. In an

earlier era, he says, society realized it needed universal ___39___. Today, schools have to develop

the curriculums and assessments to make the changemaking mentality universal. They have to understand this is their criteria for success.

Ashoka has studied social movements to find out how this kind of ___40___ shift can be promoted. It turns out that successful movements take similar steps.

III. Reading Comprehension

Section A

Directions:For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

More people are travelling than ever before, and lower barriers to entry and falling costs means they are doing so for (41) ________ periods.

The rise of “city breaks” 48-hour bursts of foreign cultures, easier on the pocket and annual leave balance has increased tourist numbers, but not their (42) ________ spread. The same attractions have been used to market cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Venice for decades, and visitors use the same infrastructure as residents to reach them. “Too many people do the same thing a t the exact same time," says Font. “For (43) ________, the city no longer belongs to them."

This starts with marketing, says Font, who notes that Amsterdam has started advising visitors to seek (44) ________ outside of the city center on its official web site. “That takes some balls, really, to do that. But only so many people will look at the website, and it means they can say to their residents they're doing all they can to ease congestion."

But it also (45) ________ a better way, it is calling “de-tou rism”: sustainable travel tips and (46) ________ itineraries for exploring an authentic Venice, off the paths beaten by the 28 million visitors who flock there each year.

A greater variety of (47) ________ for prospective visitors — ideas for what to do in off-peak seasons, for example, or outside of the city center — can have the effect of diverting them from already saturated landmarks, or (48) ________ short breaks away in the first place. Longer stays (49) ________ the pressure, says Font. “If you go to Paris for two days, you're going to go to the Eiffel Tower. If you go for two weeks, you're not going to go to the Eiffel tower 14 times."

Similarly, repeat visitors have a better sense of the (50) ________. “We should be asking how do we get tourists to (51) ________, not how to get them to come for the first time. If they're coming for the fifth time, it is much easier to integrate their behavior with ours.”

Local governments can foster this sustainable activity by giving preference to responsible operators and even high-paying consumers. Font says cities could stand to be more selective about the tourists they try to attract when the current metric for marketing success is how many there are, and how far they've come. “You're thinking, 'yeah, but at what cost…'”

He points to unpublished data from the Barcelona Tourist Board that prioritizes Japanese tourists for spending an average of 640 more per day than French tourists — a(an) (52) ________ that fails to take into account their bigger carbon footprint. (53) ________ tourists are also more likely to be repeat visitors that come at off-peak times, buy local produce, and (54) ________ to less crowded parts of the city — all productive steps towards more (55) ________ tourism, and more peaceful relations with residents.

41. A. longer B. shorter C. wider D. clearer
