Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions underneath.

Inside a 4D Film

1. A lot of people think that 3D films are pretty cool. When you watch a 3D film, it sometimes feels like you can reach out and touch the things that you see. In the future, however, 3D might be replaced by something even more advanced: 4D.
2. What you see in a 4D film is the same as what you see in a 3D film. The screen is the same, and the glasses are the same. 4D films are different because they don’t use 3D technology. People in the audience also feel physical things during the films.
3. Let’s look at a few examples. Let’s say that you are watching a film about earthquakes. If you are watching a 4D film, maybe your seat will suddenly start to shake. It will feel like you are in the middle of an earthquake, but you are not. The 4D effects make your seat shake. Or perhaps during the film, one of the characters gives flowers to another character. The people in the cinema might suddenly smell flowers.
4. The point of 4D films is to make people feel like they are in the film. When we watch films these days, we only use two senses: our sense of sight and our sense of hearing. If we use our other senses, the film might feel more real to us.
5. 4D films already exist. The film Avatarwas released everywhere in 3D, but in Korea and Hong Kong, it was also released in 4D. People who watched Avatarin 4D feel wind and rain. They also smelled smoke from the weapons in the film, and sometimes their seats moved.
6. Will 4D replace 3D films? It is possible, but we can’t be sure yet. One problem with 4D films is that it is very expensive to show them in theaters. Before a theater shows a 4D film, it has to buy a lot of special equipment. However, 4 films are catching on. Other films shown in 4D include Shrek 4-D, and Iron Man 3.

What is one problem with 4D films?

The word "they" in paragraph 2 refers to _________.

What would only happen during a 4D film?

What can be inferred from the passage?

Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question below.

In the past few years, social media has swept across the globe. Nowadays, people of all ages and nationalities are opening Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn accounts to connect with friends, celebrities, and those who want to share similar interests as them. Social media isn’t just for individuals though. Small businesses and corporations are also using it to develop closer relationships with their fans and attract new customers.

There are many ways that organizations can benefit from social media. For starters, it can be an effective way to conduct market research. In the past, companies often spent millions on studies to determine what their customers wanted. However, they often had difficulties locating people who were interested in their products or services. Nowadays, social media has simplified this process as many customers will follow or like the companies they purchase products from. Furthermore, online advertising campaigns through social media allow companies to specifically target people who like similar products as the ones they are selling.

Social media also gives companies greater control over their brand image. It allows fans and customers to leave comments about companies, their products, or their services. In turn, these companies can evaluate this feedback and respond in a way that shows they truly care. One company which does this extremely well is Zappos, an online shoe retailer. If customers seem dissatisfied with anything, Zappos is quick to offer refunds, exchange items, or even send out free presents to keep customers happy. As a result, you will find thousands of positive reviews about Zappos’ excellent customer service on several social media sites.

However, companies shouldn’t jump into social media without a carefully planned strategy, as this can cause more harm than good. A common mistake is putting new hires or outside consultants in charge of social media accounts. The person controlling these accounts becomes the face of the company, so it is a must that they are knowledgeable about the company’s core values. Another mistake is using conservative, corporate language in posts and updates. On social media, people are looking for personalities they can connect with, so companies shouldn’t shy away from using humor or being colorful. Finally, social media accounts should always provide value and other share-worthy content to fans, for that is the primary reason they become followers. By keeping these tips in mind, organizations can join the social movement and take their businesses to the next level.

What is the second paragraph mainly about?

One of the characteristics that social media can attract customers is that ____.

The word "they" in paragraph 2 refers to _____.

What kind of person should be in charge of a company's social media?

What could best replace the phrase "In turn" in paragraph 3?
