Reading comprehension 1: Read the following passage and choose A, B, C or D to answer each question from 636 to 640.

Population aging is no longer seen as a burden on social welfare, but rather as a new economic opportunity. With the increasing proportion of elderly people worldwide, the “silver economy” – referring to all economic activities, goods and services that cater to senior citizens while leveraging their contributions – is becoming an inevitable development trend.

According to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), Việt Nam entered the aging phase in 2011, when people aged 60 and above accounted for more than 10 per cent of the population. By 2034, this share is expected to reach 20 per cent, officially classifying Việt Nam as an aged society.

Facing the pressure of rising pension funds and medical costs, which are many times higher for those over 60 than for the working population, Phạm Bình An, Deputy Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Institute for Development Studies (HIDS), notes, “Decades of framing the elderly as welfare dependents relying on the state budget has revealed major limitations. Instead, aging should be seen as a specific consumer demand structure that can be measured and transformed into a new growth space – the silver economy.” The scale of this economy depends not only on the size of the aging population but also on the contributions of these “silver-haired” individuals, both as consumers and as participants in production.

Đoàn Hữu Minh, Programme Analyst at UNFPA, warns that Việt Nam has only about a decade to finalize its policy framework before entering a phase of societal aging. He stressed that building a silver economy is not merely a welfare solution but a breakthrough strategy to help the country to escape the middle-income trap. “Population aging is irreversible,” Minh said. “The key is to adapt early and wisely so that Việt Nam can protect its elderly while supporting inclusive and sustainable growth.”

Reading comprehension 2: Read the following passage and choose A, B, C or D to answer each question from 641 to 645.

Under-16s in Australia have been banned from using major social media services including X, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, and Threads. They cannot create new accounts, and their existing profiles have been deactivated.

But how is the ban enforced? In practice, children and parents are not punished for infringing the ban. Instead, social media companies face fines of up to AU$49.5million(US$32 million) for serious or repeated breaches. The government says firms must take “reasonable steps” to keep kids off their platforms and should use multiple age assurance technologies. These technologies could include government IDs, facial or voice recognition, or so-called “age inference,” which analyzes online behavior and interactions to estimate a person’s age.

Meta, the company that owns Facebook, Instagram and Threads, began closing teen accounts on December 4th of last year. It stated that anyone mistakenly kicked off could use government IDs or provide a video selfie to prove their age. The company reported having blocked approximately 550,000 accounts in the early days of the ban. In a similar vein, Snapchat said that users could use bank accounts, photo IDs or selfies for verification.

Although this policy aims to protect children under 16 from the harmful effects of social media, its effectiveness remains controversial. Some worry that age assurance technologies may wrongly block adults while failing to spot underage users, while others argue that educating children about proper social media use would be better in the long run.

In spite of those concerns, the policy has had a certain impact on how other countries regulate social media for young people. For example, Denmark has announced plans to ban social media for under-15s, while Norway is considering a similar proposal. A French parliamentary inquiry has also recommended banning under-15s from social media and imposing a “curfew” on social media use for 15-to-18-year-olds. Meanwhile, the Spanish government has drafted a bill which would require legal guardians to authorize access for under-16s.
