Reading comprehension 6: Read the passage below and choose A, B, C, or D to answer each question.

Recent research examines why expressions of anger in digital environments often appear more intense and amplified than in face-to-face communication. The study focuses on how anger is produced, perceived, and interpreted across different online contexts.

The research analyzes language used in social media comment sections and survey-based interpersonal interactions to identify patterns of emotional expression. A key finding is the distinction between direct interpersonal communication and general online commentary. When individuals believe they are communicating with a specific person, they tend to regulate their language more carefully, even when expressing disagreement or frustration. In contrast, public comment sections show significantly less restraint, with more aggressive tone, capitalization, and emotionally charged wording.

The study identifies this heightened expression as “hot anger”, a form of anger characterized by loud, hostile, and emotionally intense language. Hot anger appears more frequently in environments where social distance is greater and social presence is reduced, such as anonymous or semi-anonymous online spaces.

Context is shown to play a critical role in interpreting anger. More than half of the participants reported difficulty determining whether a message was angry or hostile without knowing the surrounding situation or the relationship between the speakers. The same linguistic expression could be interpreted differently depending on context.

The research also explores rage bait, defined as content intentionally designed to provoke anger in others in order to increase engagement. Importantly, the study notes that rage bait does not require the content creator to feel anger themselves; instead, it functions as a mechanism that stimulates and circulates anger within digital spaces. Overall, the findings highlight how platform design, social distance, and contextual ambiguity contribute to the amplification of anger online.

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

In the past, high school football coaches relied on a chalkboard or dry-erase board to communicate plays and strategy with their team. Today, many coaches use tablets connected to the internet, allowing them to see plays only seconds after they occur. Large-screen televisions are also common on the sidelines, enabling coaches to instruct entire groups of players at once and make immediate corrections or change plays in real time.

High-definition video cameras mounted on 40-foot towers behind the end lines, which were once reserved for bands, cheerleaders, and field equipment, now record games and practices. These remote-controlled cameras capture high-quality footage that is uploaded and stored digitally. Coaches and coordinators can review plays, analyze performance, and create edited highlight reels. This process replaces the old system of manually handling film rolls, sending them to labs, and waiting for days for results.

With the advancement of camera technology, video can now be uploaded and shared online. Platforms such as Hudl allow teams to trade and view game films efficiently, breaking downplays into individual sequences for detailed analysis. Drones are also becoming common for capturing additional angles during practices. While drones are not permitted at games, scrimmages, or events in Minnesota due to potential distractions, they provide a useful tool for enhancing performance analysis during practice sessions.

Not every school district uses that level of technology and equipment, which can cost up to 60,000. Some smaller school districts in greater Minnesota have yet to fully embrace the advantages of high-tech game films. Cost can be a barrier, but it is also true that most schools just do not need new age equipment.
