TEXT 2
Reading habits among children have changed significantly over the last decade. Many students now spend more time on screens than with printed books. While digital reading platforms can offer convenience and interactive features, they may also reduce concentration and deep comprehension.
Teachers and parents are encouraged to promote balanced reading habits by combining traditional books with digital resources. Creating reading routines at home and in school can help children develop stronger vocabulary, imagination, and critical thinking.
Encouraging reading should not be seen as an obligation alone, but as an opportunity for discovery and pleasure. When students associate reading with positive experiences, they are more likely to become lifelong readers.
The word “encouraged” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to:

The World's Carmakers Are Struggling to
Compete with China
Global carmakers are facing a
reckoning as US, European and Japanese
brands lose ground to Chinese rivals setting the
pace not only in electric vehicles, but also in
batteries, design and software. The BBC visited
factory floors in Beijing and Hefei and found
striking levels of automation and software
development speed, leaving foreign brands that
once dominated the Chinese market struggling
to keep up.
"We have no chance against this,"
Honda chief executive Toshihiro Mibe told Japanese media after visiting a highly
automated factory in Shanghai. Ford chief
executive Jim Farley has also warned that
Western carmakers are "in a fight for our lives"
as Chinese rivals expand globally.
After decades spent investing in joint
ventures with Chinese partners to build
vehicles, foreign carmakers are now changing
the nature of those partnerships to stay
competitive.
"The biggest mistake that the developed
world is making is believing that the transition
is only about electric cars," says Shanghaibased auto analyst Bill Russo. "It's about who
will lead the next generation of mobility
technology."

Why Soft Skills Matter
When discussing careers, professional growth,
or the process of finding a job, people often
focus mainly on "hard skills." These are
abilities directly associated with carrying out
specific tasks or performing a certain
profession. In most cases, they can be tested or
measured because they are developed through
diplomas, certifications, technical courses,
workshops, academic education, and
professional training programs.
In contrast, "soft skills" are not as easy
to evaluate quantitatively. They are usually
connected less to formal education and more to
personal experience, behavior, attitude, and the
way individuals interact with others. For this
reason, they are frequently referred to as
"people skills." They involve qualities such as
the ability to communicate effectively,
cooperate with others, motivate teams, or
demonstrate leadership in different situations.
Among the soft skills most valued in the
workplace are creativity, teamwork, leadership,
organization, adaptability, and strong written
and verbal communication. These
competencies contribute to the development of
a more complete and versatile professional. In
competitive job markets, they can even become
a major advantage for candidates seeking
employment opportunities. Since interpersonal
interaction exists in nearly every profession,
these skills are important across practically all
industries. For employers and job seekers alike,
these abilities are considered "transferable
skills" because they can be applied successfully
in different positions, companies, and
professional environments. Organizations
generally appreciate professionals who can adapt easily, collaborate with others, and
maintain effective interpersonal relationships,
making soft skills increasingly valuable in
modern workplaces.

competitive edge in a job search," the
expression "competitive edge" could be

Proper storage of pharmaceutical products is essential to maintain their safety, quality, and effectiveness. Medicines must be kept under controlled environmental conditions, including appropriate temperature, humidity, and light exposure. Certain drugs require refrigeration, while others must be stored at room temperature according to manufacturer specifications.
Pharmacists and pharmacy technicians are responsible for monitoring storage conditions and ensuring that expired or compromised products are promptly removed from circulation. Failure to comply with storage standards may result in reduced therapeutic efficacy or potential risks to patients.
Additionally, access to medication storage areas should be restricted to authorized personnel only. Regular inspections and accurate documentation are necessary to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
Considering the text and standard English usage, judge the following items.
In the text, the adjective “expired” describes products
that are no longer valid for use.
