Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on you answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
As the United States becomes more racially and ethnically diverse, and as companies from
Wall Street to Silicon Valley grapple with how to build workforces that reflect these changing
demographics, Americans have a complicated, even contradictory, set of views about the impact of
diversity and the best way to achieve it. Most say it’s a good thing that the country has a diverse
population, but many also say this introduces its own set of challenges. And while a majority
values workplace diversity, few endorse the idea of taking race or ethnicity into consideration in
hiring and promotions, according to a new Pew Research Center survey.
When it comes to diversity in the communities where they live, most U.S. adults (66%) –
including a majority of those who live in neighborhoods with little diversity – are satisfied with the
racial mix in their area. A majority (54%) says children should go to local schools, even if that
results in most schools being less diverse. Fewer (42%) say children should go to schools that are
racially and ethnically mixed, even if that means some students go to school outside of their local
community.
Overall, white, black and Hispanic adults are about equally likely to say it’s good that the
U.S. population is racially and ethnically mixed, and majorities across these groups say this has
had a positive impact on U.S. culture. But black Americans place more value than whites and
Hispanics on workplace diversity and school integration.
Opinions on these issues also vary considerably along party lines, with Democrats and those
who lean to the Democratic Party more likely than Republicans and Republican leaners to express
positive views of the importance and impact of racial and ethnic diversity. This is the case even
after taking into account the differences in the racial composition of the two parties.
These are among the key findings on views about diversity from a nationally representative
survey of 6,637 U.S. adults conducted online Jan. 22-Feb. 5, 2019, in English and Spanish, using
Pew Research Center’s American Trends Panel.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on you answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
In the study of 15 countries, including the US, UK, Japan, India. Brazil, Argentina, Belgium.
Finland, France, Germany. Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands. Spain and Sweden, it was discovered
that 41 percent of "highly mobile" employees (those who more often worked from home)
considered themselves highly stressed as well, compared to only 25 percent of those who worked
only on-site.
This news may come as a shock to many people who may consider a work-from-home
lifestyle to The one that's less stressful and marked with more personal freedom. Part of this stress
experienced by these highly mobile workers may be due to the fact that those who work from
home face a host of challenges that are unique to this particular setup.
It is true that most people love the flexibility that comes with working from home - getting up
and going to sleep at times that are dictated more by one's personal body clock and tastes can be
wonderfully liberating. It can also get out of hand and feel stressful, however, to be free from the
structure that once felt confining.
Likewise with the freedom from dealing with obnoxious co-workers. While most people
may enjoy having the freedom to choose who they interact with each day and love to avoid
listening to office gossip. complaints, and politics, they may be surprised by the isolation they feel
when their interactions aren't automatic and they need to put in an effort to see anyone at all.
Many of these factors may balance each other out stress-wise, but the recent UN study
suggests that the increased reliance on mobile devices may push the work-from-home crowd over
the edge into higher stress territory.
These experiences may come as a surprise to someone who is new to working at home, but
they are commonly experienced. They are also common sources of stress. There must be more on
these and other denned sources of stress for those who live where they work, have zero commute
time, and may not realize that they are not alone in the surprising sources of stress they face.
