1In 2004, the South Korean branch of Kellogg’s launched a marketing campaign asking people to vote on a new flavor of Chex breakfast cereal.  2A TV commercial proposed two different cartoon candidates for president of the Chex Choco Empire.  3These were Cheki, a “mascot” for chocolate-flavored Chex, and Chaka, a mascot for green-onion-flavored Chex.  4The company assumed the sweet cereal would win.  5However, Chaka received much more votes than Cheki!  6Kellogg’s stopped online voting and only allowed one vote per person. 7This means they threw out multiple individual votes for Chaka and declared Cheki the winner.

1Since then, South Koreans have criticized Cheki as a “cereal dictator” who was elected through cheating. Chaka, in contrast, was portrayed as a freedom fighter.  2After 16 years of struggle in the public eye, Chaka claimed his rightful place on a box of green-onion-flavored cereal in June 2020.  3This was seen as a triumph in the name of democracy.  4The news became the biggest topic on South Korean social media.  5It even beat out the news about North Korea bombing of an office meant to link the two Koreas.

1A recent TV commercial for Chaka apologized for the delay of the green-onion-flavored cereal. 2Kellogg’s had been working on the cereal for 15 years and had trouble developing the right onion flavor.  3When it called for 50 “early tasters” for the new cereal flavor, Kellogg’s received over 14,200 applications.  4The sale of the limited edition cereal may be extended beyond three months if sales are strong.

A 34. What would be the best title for this passage?

(A) Democratically Elected Cereal Flavor Is Finally Ready

(B) South Koreans Vote for Sweet over Salty Cereal

(C) North Korea Bombs South Korean Government Office

(D) People in South Korea Disappointed by Green Onion Cereal

C     35. Which of the following is likely the definition of the bold word “mascot” in the third sentence?

(A) A chef that creates new food items for Kellogg’s. 

(B) A scientific chart showing the ingredients in food. 

(C) A symbol or character representing a brand.

(D) A warning from doctors about eating too much sugar.

B 36. What may the underlined sentence “The company assumed the sweet cereal would win” mean?

(A) Kellogg’s expected Chaka to get more votes.

(B) Kellogg’s expected Cheki to get more votes.

(C) Kellogg’s did not guess which cereal would get the most votes. 

(D) Kellogg’s guess for the outcome turned out to be correct.

C 37. What is implied in the last passage?

(A) People proposed that there should be another election. 

(B) Not many people would like to taste Chaka cereal.

(C) Chaka could become a permanent Chex flavor if enough people buy it.

(D) Consumers still don’t know why the onion-flavored cereal has been delayed.

1The spread of the COVID-19 virus across the world has emphasized the importance of sanitizing our hands.  2This can be done either through thorough washing with soap, or with sanitizer that contains alcohol.  3Just taking this simple step frequently throughout the day can kill any traces of the virus on your hands.  4In Turkey, people have been using a traditional alcohol-based scented sanitizer on their hands for hundreds of years.  5This substance, called kolonya, contains at least 80% alcohol, which breaks down the virus.  6Kolonya also contains essential oils and fragrance from fruit or flowers.  7In Turkey, kolonya is sprayed on people’s hands when they enter homes, shops, hotels, or hospitals, when they finish meals at restaurants, and as they gather at religious services.  8It’s a treasured symbol of hospitality and health in Turkey, and is often described as the country’s national scent.

1Since COVID-19 began, lines of people stretching to almost 100 meters long began forming at stores and pharmacies to buy kolonya.  2Some of the main kolonya producers say their sales have increased by 500%.  3Commercial hand sanitizers aren’t as common in Turkey as they are in other countries, but that doesn’t matter since kolonya is already part of many people’s daily routines.

1One of Turkey’s top kolonya companies is Atelier Rebul, which opened in 1895.  2Due to the increased demand caused by COVID-19, the company is planning to open a new factory.  3For now, it’s difficult to find kolonya outside Turkey, but with increased production and popularity, this may change soon.

D     38. What is this passage mainly about?

(A) Most products in Turkey have a scent because that’s what’s popular there. 

(B) Turkey has been hit harder by COVID-19 than its neighboring countries. 

(C) Turkish products are in greater demand in the rest of the world than before. 

(D) People in Turkey are using traditional hand sanitizer to prevent a disease.

B      39. What is NOT true about kolonya?

(A) For centuries, people in Turkey have frequently used it on their hands. 

(B) People didn’t regularly use it until the outbreak of COVID-19.

(C) It’s common to have it sprayed on your hands when you enter a store. 

(D) It contains oil and fragrances from natural sources.

C      40. Why is kolonya effective against COVID-19?

(A) It keeps other people away because it has a strong smell.

(B) People drink it as medicine as well as spraying it on their hands. 

(C) Its alcohol content kills the virus that causes the disease.

(D) Its scent prevents the virus from entering people’s lungs.

A      41. What can we guess about the future of kolonya?

(A) It may become more widely available and commonly used outside Turkey. 

(B) It will use supplies of alcohol that were meant for other products.

(C) Fruit-scented kolonya will become better liked than flower-scented kolonya. 

(D) Kolonya maker Atelier Rebul will close some of its shops.
