Helicopters circled the sky above Piccadilly Circus as the police officers below struggled to control the thousands of fans on the streets outside the bookstore. Who were the thousands of fans waiting for? That latest pop sensation? No, a 'vlogger' - a video blogger.
What makes vloggers so popular? Successful vloggers share some common characteristics. They are outgoing, quick-witted and spontaneous in front of 10 their webcams.

It is material that is made by young people for young people without any intrusion from media corporations. What is more, thanks to the accessibility of modern technology, the vlogs can be watched anywhere at any time. All these ingredients have created a two-way relationship between vloggers and their subscribers, based on shared interests and trust that cannot be found between the providers and users of other media.
However, it appears that those shared interests and that trust might (2) . Some of the big-name vloggers can earn 25 up to £20,000 for displaying an advertisement on their channel. They also earn a lot for mentioning or reviewing a product in a vlog. About 1,000 vloggers around the world earn at least £100,000 a year from their YouTube income. And (3) .
So, will vlogs go the way of many TV programmes and films? Not according to the vloggers, who emphasise their creative independence over making money. However, Zoella, one of the few vloggers in the public eye in Britain, caused a scandal after publishing a book and claiming that it had (4) . Shortly later, she had to admit that she had not written it alone and her name was (5) . Many experts saw it as a sign that vlogging had lost its innocence and that large media corporations were taking control.

Read the following passage about Pierre de Fermat and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the option that best fits each of the numbered blanks
Pierre de Fermat was born on August 17 in 1601 in Beaumont-de-Lomagne, France. He was a famous French mathematician (6) . Fermat was one of the two leading mathematicians of the first half of the 17th century (the other was René Descart). Fermat discovered the fundamental principle of analytic geometry. He was also regarded as (7) .
What strikes as a surprise is that Fermat never considered doing research in Mathematics his job. Although Fermat studied law when he was at college, he developed strong love for foreign languages, literature and mathematics. He read a lot of documents and taught himself in many fields. As early as 1629 Fermat began (8) .In 1631 Fermat received the degree in law from the University of Orléans. He served in the local parliament at Toulouse, becoming councillor in 1634. In 1638 he was named to the Criminal Court. Despite his busy work at the court, Fermat never stopped learning and doing mathematics. In 1679, he published Introduction to Loci in which he presented that the study of loci, or sets of points with certain characteristics, could be (9) .
The most interesting story about Fermat should be his last theorem, which is also known as Fermat's great theorem. It is a statement that there are no natural numbers x, y, z such that x + y = z", in which n is (10) . In 1636, Fermat, the distinguished mathematician, wrote in his copy of the Arithmetica that he had discovered a truly proof of this theorem, but the margin of the book was too small for him to write it down. For centuries, so many mathematicians all over the world were puzzled by this statement. No one could prove or disprove Fermat's last theorem. Not until 1993 could the English mathematician Andrew Wiles devise a proof of this theorem. He then presented the proof in the journal Annals of Mathematics in 1995. Andrew Wiles had been interested in Fermat's last theorem since the age of ten. His years of searching for an answer finally became successful.

Read the following passage about Selfie and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the option that best fits each of the numbered blanks.
Most of us have taken a selfie at one time or another, be it a photo of ourselves in a beautiful place, during a performance by our favourite band, or on a memorable night out with friends. Even monarchs, prime ministers and presidents have been seen in the news (11) . But today, more and more people are putting their lives at risk in an attempt to get the most shocking picture to share on social media. In several cases, this action has had disastrous consequences.
Take, for example, the Spaniard who was killed by a bull while he was taking a selfie during the annual bull run in a village near his hometown. Or the Singaporean tourist who died when he fell from cliffs on the coast of Bali. Incidents such as these led to (12) reaching double figures for the first time in 2015, overtaking the number of victims of shark attacks. Most of the cases involve people taking selfies while posing with animals, or falling from high places.
Despite the risks, social media is full of pictures featuring (13) under other circumstances. Under the caption 'Most dangerous selfie ever', a woman posing at a stadium can be seen narrowly avoiding being hit in the head by a baseball approaching her. Yet the photo has received thousands of 'likes', and the comments below it suggest that this behaviour is something to be admired. What is even more worrying, however, is that the woman herself dares others to (14) the fact that by doing so, she is endangering the lives of her 'friends' as well.
In response to the increasing threat posed by the selfie, (15) . National parks, such as the Waterton Canyon in Denver, Colorado, have closed their gates to visitors who have been getting too close to the bears to get them in the photo. The Russian Interior Ministry has launched a public education campaign advising selfie-takers against balancing on dangerous surfaces or posing with their pets, among other things. But if instructions like these are really necessary, then perhaps it is about time we asked ourselves which is more important, a 'like' or a life?
