PART 2: 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 26 to 30).
Starting a new job can be an exciting prospect. It could improve your skill set,
provide different working hours or even offer a salary increase. Although changing jobs has
unexpected costs, it is worth paying them to invest in your career and development. You may need
to adjust your budget and spending habits to cover these extra expenses.
First, most companies will not provide relocation allowance to move for work. Therefore,
you will need to consider relocation costs. How much you will pay for these costs depends on
several factors. For example, the costs will be relatively low if you are single and rent a house. But
if you own your home or have a family, relocating can become expensive.
Another extra cost is that you may have to change your wardrobe. You may wear casual
clothing if you have worked for a small company. But if you work in a large company, you might
have to invest in more formal pieces. Buying new outfits can be expensive. It is often something
people need to remember to budget for when changing jobs.
Finally, you may pay for additional car expenses. Those who drive to work must pay more,
not just extra fuel. For example, if you have to travel longer, you will put more miles on your car,
leading to increased wear and tear. This could result in paying for frequent car maintenance, such
as extra services, more tires and brake pads.
Question 26. According to paragraph 1, what should we do to cover the extra costs of starting a
new job?
A. ask for a salary increase B. adjust our working hours
C. improve our skill set D. change our spending habits
Question 27. What does the word "It" in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. starting a new job B. providing different working hours
C. improve our skill set D. offering a salary increase
Question 28. What phrase is closest in meaning to the phrase "relocation allowance" in
paragraph 2?
A. covered expenses for relocation
B. expenses for moving to a new workplace
C. extra payment for the cost of moving to a new workplace
D. permission to move to a new location
Question 29. According to paragraph 2, what factor can make relocating more expensive?
A. our family or own house
B. our family or rental house
C. our single status or own house
D. our single status or rental house
