Read the following passage about Successful Business Models of 2025 and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions.

Multicultural businesses are companies where people from different cultures work together. In 2025, these businesses are very successful because they understand different markets around the world. Studies show that companies with diverse teams make 25% more money than other companies. This is because they can sell products in many countries and understand what customers from different cultures want. These businesses usually have managers from at least three different countries who bring new ideas to solve problems.

Successful multicultural companies in 2025 share some important features. They listen to ideas from all employees, no matter where they come from. They train their workers to understand different cultures better. They also change their products slightly for local markets while keeping their main brand the same. These companies create workplaces where cultural differences are seen as valuable. This approach works especially well in technology and service businesses where understanding different customers is important.

However, these businesses face some problems too. Sometimes people have trouble communicating because of language differences. Different countries have different laws that can be confusing. Building trust between people from different backgrounds takes time. Successful multicultural businesses solve these problems by communicating clearly and being flexible. They talk openly about cultural differences instead of ignoring them.

In the future, most successful businesses will probably be multicultural. As more people move between countries and use the internet to work together, companies that include different cultures will do better. Schools are now teaching students how to work in multicultural businesses. These businesses not only make more money but also help people understand other cultures better. Governments now recognize their importance and offer special programs and tax benefits to support multicultural companies that create diverse workplaces and promote international cooperation.

Read the following passage about Neil Armstrong and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Neil Armstrong, the most famous of the astronauts on Apollo 11, has been called the ultimate professional. [I] He was hired to do a job. [II] He did the job and then he went home and kept quiet about it. [III] But how can the man who first set foot on the Moon, a hero to millions of people, remain such a mystery? [IV]

People like Armstrong often develop their interests at a young age. He followed a career built on a passion for flying that he developed in his childhood in the 1930s. He learnt to fly before he had graduated from high school in Wapakoneta, Ohio. He then did a course in aerospace engineering at Purdue University in Indiana, sponsored by the United States Navy, which meant that Armstrong was obliged to serve as a naval pilot for three years. He saw action almost immediately, flying 78 missions in the war in Korea.

He left the Navy in 1952 and two years later got a job with the Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory where he flew experimental aircraft. He reached speeds of 6,615 kilometres an hour and altitudes of over 200,000 feet. When he decided to become an astronaut is not clear. Certainly, it was not his ambition to be famous. An extremely talented pilot, his aim was simply to push the boundaries of flight. He was selected for a space plane pilot training programme in 1960 but shortly after news began to circulate that NASA was looking for astronauts for their Apollo programme. Incredibly excited, he applied for the job and in 1962 was accepted. The rest, as they say, is history.

When the astronauts returned from the Apollo 11 Moon landing of July 1969, Armstrong was a worldwide celebrity and could have done anything he wanted - TV shows, public speaking. Instead, he became a teacher at the University of Cincinnati and at the weekend went flying to get away from all the attention. He subsequently worked for two private avionics firms until he retired in 2002. In 40 years, he only gave two interviews. Why? Certainly, he felt fortunate to have had the chance to fulfil his dream, but he did not feel any more special than the thousands of people who worked on the Apollo space programme. He was just the pilot.
