Streaming services such as Netflix, Disney+, and Hulu are transforming the way we consume television content. These platforms offer a vast selection of TV shows, movies, and documentaries, enabling viewers to watch almost anything without the interruption of commercials, at their convenience. One habit that has grown increasingly common is binge-watching, where viewers watch anywhere from two to six episodes in one sitting; (21) . Before you start your next viewing marathon, it’s important to consider the following three health concerns. Firstly, binge-watching affects the brain in a way (22) . When we engage in pleasurable activities, the brain releases dopamine, a chemical that triggers feelings of pleasure and satisfaction. A recent Netflix survey revealed that 73% of people reported feeling happy while binge-watching, indicating that this form of entertainment can be neurologically rewarding. Secondly, binge-watching may make people feel lonely over time. While watching TV can serve as a way to unwind and escape from the stresses of work, school, or family life, excessive viewing reduces the time (23) . Research has shown a strong link between heavy digital media consumption and increased feelings of isolation, especially when in-person social interaction is limited. Thirdly, binge-watching disrupts healthy sleep patterns. Staying up late to watch “just one more episode” often leads to sleep deprivation, (24) . Studies have shown that individuals who regularly lose sleep tend to feel frustrated due to tiredness, which in turn makes it even more difficult to fall asleep the following night. You may begin watching with the intention of viewing a single episode; (25) . If this sounds familiar, it might be time to reconsider your viewing habits and reflect on the potential impact on your health.

IV. Reading Comprehension (20%) Read the following passages and choose the best answer to each question. Mark the corresponding letter A, B, C, or D on your answer card. ### Passage 1 Earlier this year, a phenomenon dubbed “Ghiblification” swept through social media: users began transforming everyday photos into images evoking the signature style of Studio Ghibli films. The charm of Ghiblification lies in its emotional resonance. Studio Ghibli’s storytelling is rooted in subtlety and humanism, often guided by the Japanese narrative structure kishōtenketsu, which emphasizes atmosphere and thematic development over traditional conflict. Rather than battles or villains, Ghibli films focus on growth, discovery, and emotional honesty. In Kiki’s Delivery Service, for instance, the climax is not a confrontation, but a personal journey through self-doubt. These films celebrate quiet moments, relationships, and the blending of the magical and mundane. Yet, not everyone welcomed this trend. Hayao Miyazaki, co-founder of Studio Ghibli, has long been a critic of AI in art. A video clip from 2016 resurfaced, showing Miyazaki’s dismay at an AI-generated animation of a grotesque figure. He called it “an insult to life itself,” expressing that such work lacked empathy and humanity. The clip, filmed for an NHK documentary, went viral again in 2025, sparking renewed discussions around AI’s role in creative fields. Miyazaki’s body of work is characterized by meticulous hand-drawn animation and an almost spiritual attention to detail. Against this backdrop, many fans felt uneasy enjoying AI-generated Ghibli art, knowing the man behind the aesthetic would likely disapprove. The rise of Ghiblification also triggered heated debates over copyright, authorship, and the essence of art itself. While the AI-generated images didn’t directly copy specific Ghibli characters, they unmistakably replicated the studio’s visual style. This raised questions: Does imitating a style violate intellectual property, even if specific content isn’t duplicated? And beyond legality, is there an ethical responsibility to respect an artist’s original vision and labor? Still, others see Ghiblification as a kind of homage — a way to engage with Ghibli’s legacy in a new medium. Some believe the emotional impact these AI images evoke speaks to the depth and universality of the original Ghibli ethos. The images may be machine-made, but the joy they spark is undeniably human. For now, the internet continues to churn out Ghibli-inspired imagery — some breathtaking, some derivative. And even as users marvel at the results, they’re increasingly aware of the tension between technological magic and artistic integrity. Ghiblification, in all its beauty and controversy, reminds us that the soul of art may be harder to automate than we think. | | | | | |

exploration. Cities now float above the ground, supported by advanced engineering. These cities are self-sufficient, with vertical farms where crops grow in stacked layers inside buildings. This system makes efficient use of limited space and maximizes food production. It also allows cities to recycle water and support large populations in compact areas. Beneath the ocean’s surface, communities live in domes that supply oxygen and control temperature. Thanks to new desalination technology, clean drinking water is now widely available. This has made previously dry areas more livable. Transportation has also undergone a major transformation. The era of fossil fuels has ended. It has been replaced by new energy sources that power high-speed magnetic trains, which quickly link distant parts of the world. Personal air vehicles, powered by clean energy, have taken over traditional cars, enabling quick travel between floating cities, land-based areas, and ocean communities. This shift in transportation has not only made travel more efficient but also helped reduce the environmental impact of transporting people and goods. Medical science has made significant progress, greatly extending human lifespans. Scientists use nanotechnology to repair damaged cells and slow aging, preventing many diseases before they occur. As a result, the average lifespan has increased to over 150 years, and many previously deadly diseases have been eradicated. However, these longer lifespans have raised concerns about overpopulation and the use of resources. In response, humanity has established colonies on Mars and the Moon, developing new methods to grow food and extract water from ice. Despite these advancements, challenges remain. The impact of past climate changes has intensified natural disasters, requiring widespread restoration efforts. Around the world, governments are investing in large-scale projects like reforestation and ocean clean-up to repair centuries of ecological damage. Equity is another concern, as the gap is widening between those who can afford advanced medical treatments and those who cannot. Ensuring that the benefits of technological progress are shared equally remains an issue. As humanity advances in space exploration and science, new possibilities will continue to emerge for improving life on Earth and beyond. Yet building a fair and prosperous world will require urgent action and a shared global commitment.
