 Getting Into the Flow
[I] The psychological concept of "flow" describes a joyful state where an individual becomes completely 
immersed in a challenging but manageable activity. [II] First developed by Hungarian psychologist 
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, the concept was initially based on observations of artists who displayed intense 
focus during their creative work. [III] Ultimately, experiencing flow in leisure and professional pursuits 
significantly enhances positive emotions, overall performance, and commitment to meaningful long-term 
goals. [IV]
 Achieving flow requires specific conditions, primarily characterized by a complete loss of 
reflective self-consciousness. The activity must be voluntary, intrinsically motivating, and must provide 
clear goals with immediate feedback. Csikszentmihalyi identified six main factors of flow, including 
intense concentration on the present moment, a strong sense of personal control, and a distorted 
perception of time. Regularly experiencing these elements correlates strongly with increased 
psychological well-being, higher self-esteem, and improved concentration.
 To scientifically measure this optimal state, Csikszentmihalyi and Robert Larson developed the 
experience sampling method (ESM). Subjects received random beeper alerts prompting them to 
immediately record their current activities and emotional states. Over time, this data revealed distinct behavioral patterns regarding human happiness. Notably, results demonstrated that individuals reported 
higher happiness levels after participating in active hobbies or social events compared to passive 
activities like watching television.
Studies focusing on teenagers highlight significant differences between "high-flow" and "low-flow" 
individuals. High-flow teenagers spend considerably more time on active leisure, resulting in higher self-
esteem, better social relationships, and greater academic success. Conversely, a preference for low-flow 
activities like television can unfortunately contribute to lower self-esteem and depression. Despite the 
immense long-term benefits, people habitually choose low-flow activities because achieving flow 
requires much more initial motivation, mental effort, and skill.
Recent research demonstrates that the benefits of flow extend globally, with similar findings replicated in 
countries like Italy and India. Beyond youth studies, modern psychology has expanded flow applications 
into professional and educational environments. In workplaces, balancing enjoyment, interest, and 
absorption dramatically increases employee productivity, creativity, and overall well-being. 
Similarly, educators who frequently experience flow are better able to draw on their personal resources, 
ultimately creating much richer learning environments for their students.

workers' output and health.
B. Engaged employees who find their work enjoyable and interesting are more likely to experience 
greater workplace well-being.

enjoyment and absorption.
D. Balancing enjoyment, interest, and absorption at work requires creative employees to improve their 
productivity and well-being.
Question 30. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Evidence for the benefits of flow remains largely limited to artistic settings and adolescent 
populations.
B. Many still prefer low-flow activities since they require less effort and motivation at the outset.
C. The ESM relied mainly on participants' later reflections on how they had felt during the day.
D. Experiencing flow at work tends to raise productivity at the cost of creativity and well-being.
Question 31. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Passive leisure is less beneficial than active leisure, but schools should not try to reduce it.
B. Flow depends more on task difficulty than on motivation, goals, or feedback.
C. Creating conditions that support flow could be an effective strategy for educational institutions.
D. Because flow is more common in artists, this group stands to benefit more from it than others do.
Question 32. Which of the following best summarizes the passage?
A. The concept of flow, initially discovered by observing artists, has now become an essential 
psychological framework for explaining why individuals prefer passive entertainment.
B. Extensive research by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi demonstrates that engaging in 
challenging tasks directly promises academic success and wealth for global citizens.
C. Low-flow activities like watching television are widely popular and ultimately lead to higher self-
esteem compared to high-flow activities that demand advanced skills.
D. A deeply absorbing psychological state that supports well-being and performance across many fields 
of human endeavor, flow usually requires active engagement.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best 
answer to each of the following questions from 33 to 40.
Huge Drop in African Elephants
 African elephants are Earth's largest land animals. They are very intelligent and highly social 
creatures. A recent study, however, reveals that populations of African elephants have sharply decreased 
over the past fifty years. The researchers described their work as the most comprehensive study of the two African elephant 
species – the savanna elephant and forest elephant. Using data gathered at 475 areas in 37 countries from 
1964 through 2016, the study found that savanna elephant populations fell by about 70 percent on average 
and forest elephant populations dropped by about 90 percent on average. The researchers mainly 
attributed the decline to illegal hunting and the loss of the animals' natural habitat.
 The illegal hunting and killing of elephants for their tusks continues unabated, as poachers profit 
heavily from the black-market ivory trade, particularly in China and other parts of Asia, where demand 
for this commodity remains strong. Poaching has taken a toll on forest elephants – whose population is 
estimated to be about one-third that of savanna elephants – with the damage being especially acute in 
northern and eastern Africa, including Mali, Chad, and Nigeria.
 The study also identified agricultural expansion as a major cause of habitat loss, with more and 
more natural land being cleared for farming and human settlement. This growing pressure further 
threatens elephant populations that are already weakened by poaching. George Wittemyer, a 
Colorado State University professor and researcher with Save the Elephants who helped lead the study, 
warned that many lost populations are unlikely to return, while others that survive in low numbers 
continue to face serious risks. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of 
Sciences, suggests that further population losses are likely in the future.
Question 33. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a cause of the decline in African elephant 
populations?
A. illegal hunting B. climate change C. agricultural expansion D. habitat loss
Question 34. The word "attributed" in paragraph 2 most nearly means __________.
A. showed B. proved C. linked D. caused
Question 35. The phrase "this commodity" in paragraph 3 refers to __________.
A. black market B. poaching C. ivory D. trade
Question 36. The word "acute" in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to __________.
A. mild B. brief C. noticeable D. significant
Question 37. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
This growing pressure further threatens elephant populations that are already weakened by 
poaching.
A. Poaching has reduced elephant numbers, and continued habitat loss is forcing the survivors into human 
settlements.
B. Ongoing destruction of elephant habitat puts additional strain on populations already severely affected 
by poaching.
C. The expansion of agriculture and human settlement, along with poaching, continues to threaten 
elephant populations.
D. The loss of habitat is encouraging more poaching, which is placing increasing pressure on elephant 
populations.
Question 38. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The expansion of agriculture is a major cause of elephant habitat loss.
B. The ivory trade is legal in most Asian markets. C. Savanna elephant populations declined by about 90 percent on average.
D. Forest elephants now outnumber savanna elephants in many parts of Africa.
Question 39. In which paragraph does the writer mention statistical evidence from research?
A. Paragraph 4 B. Paragraph 2 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 1
Question 40. In which paragraph does the writer discuss possible future consequences for elephants?
A. Paragraph 2 B. Paragraph 4 C. Paragraph 1 D. Paragraph 3
