Peer pressure, the strong influence from members of the same age group or social group on others’ psychology, thoughts and behaviour, has remained widespread among teenagers in recent years. If teenagers are unable to tackle it, they will wilt under the pressure of low self-esteem and depression.
In the digital age, young students are overwhelmed with tremendous online articles about admirable achievements of ‘someone else’s child’ or ‘a prodigy next door’. Consequently, reality is replete with teens who seem reserved and like to hide in their own room for fear of being asked about exam results or tolerating unfavourable comparisons from their relatives and acquaintances. In addition, many teens nowadays tend to make friends with those who study well or have good looks, so many young students have to change who they are so as to fit in with their peers. In other words, weak-minded and average individuals become worn out in an attempt to get flying colours, look slim and fit as well as possess cool tech gadgets.
To handle negative peer pressure, students need to alter their opinions, care for their own feelings more than others’ thoughts and trusting in their own abilities. Accepting ones’ imperfections is another way to stop pushing themselves beyond the limits of their mental endurance. Besides, if teenagers’ parents are one of the factors that make them stressed about peer pressure, they should spend more time talking frankly with them to get sympathy and mutual understanding.
Question 39: What is the passage mainly about?
A. Peer pressure – a very unsettling situation
B. Teenagers’ ways to deal with peer pressure
C. How to combat teenagers’ inferiority complex
D. Various kinds of peer pressure in today’s society
Question 40: The word “it” in paragraph 1 refers to ________.

B. children hang out with their bad friends more often.
C. children prefer being alone and rarely go out of their rooms.
D. children flinch from keeping up with their ideal friends.
Question 42: The word “alter” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. change B. express C. reveal D. deny

A. Many average students become exhausted when trying hard to be left behind by their friends in class.
B. Young students are surrounded with enormous online articles about others’ admirable success.
C. Teenagers should spend more time talking openly with their parents in order to gain sympathy and mutual understanding.

ChatGPT is a new AI chatbot that can not only fluently answers questions from online users but also generate realistic, human-like essays. This is why the chatbot is causing a debate in the field of education, with experts, teachers, and students divided about whether it will ruin learning or enhance it.
Mike Sharples, a professor at the Open University in the UK, had ChatGPT generate a scientific article that he said "could pass a first academic review." And this is what many teachers are concerned about: AI systems becoming increasingly powerful, and students learning how to use AI in education much faster than older generations can keep up. They see an awful scenario where professors might think that they have taught their students well when they receive error-free assignments but, in fact, it's all down to ChatGPT or a similar tool. Debarka Sengupta, an AI expert, has similar concerns. He worries that academic standards could suffer if students start to depend on the technology. If they stop learning how to write essays themselves and use ChatGPT instead, they could become "extremely incompetent and addicted."
However, there are those who see the chatbot as a tool with immense potential like Bernadette Mathew, a PhD student in biology. She has been learning how to write computer programs to help her analyse the huge amount of data that her experiments produce, but learning to code left her struggling to keep up with her research. And this is where she turned to ChatGPT, which helped explain what she doesn't understand about coding, find errors in her own codes, and sometimes even code for her. ChatGPT could also help in other areas. For example, the ideas it generate can prompt students to write the difficult first words or first paragraph of an essay, to give them the confidence they need to start writing more.
Calculators changed how mathematics were taught. Before calculators, the result was paramount. But, when calculators came, it also became a necessity to show how you had solved the problem. Some experts have suggested that a similar thing could happen with academic essays, where they are no longer only evaluated on what they say but also on how students edit and improve a text generated by an AI. ChatGPT is definitely not going away, and adapting to it will be a challenge for teaching, but there are also opportunities for schools, colleges, and universities to get better at educating.
Question 44: Which best serves as the title for this passage?
A. AI Experts Share Views On The Future of ChatGPT And Education
B. How Relying Too Much On ChatGPT Disrupts Students' Learning
C. The Debate Over ChatGPT In Education Is Heating Up, Here's Why

D. students will no longer be able to learn from the errors they make
Question 46: The word “They” in paragraph 2 refers to _________.
A. teachers B. systems C. students D. generations
Question 47: The word “prompt” in paragraph 3 can be best replaced by _________.
A. recommend B. instruct C. encourage D. remind
Question 48: Which of the following is NOT supported by information in the passage?
A. Older generations do not accept technological changes like young students.
B. Overdependence on ChatGPT can severely harm students' writing ability.
C. After calculators, people pay attention to both solving method and result.
D. In the long run, ChatGPT may change the way academic essays are graded.
Question 49: The word “paramount” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _________.
A. beneficial B. practical C. dominant D. significant
Question 50: Which of the following can most likely be inferred from the passage?
A. While most experts have concerns about ChatGPT, there are others who support it.
B. Since the creation of ChatGPT, students' academic performance have become worse.
C. Bernadette Mathew did not understand ChatGPT's potential until she used it herself.
D. ChatGPT can benefit students when used in the initial stages of the writing process.

English is called an international language, but there are actually quite a few varieties of English that exist around the world. Though English originated in England, soon it spread to other countries, and different varieties of English began to exist. Today, the countries in which English is spoken can be allocated to three groups.
The first group is made of those countries where English is the primary language, including countries like England, Canada, the United States, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. There are more than 380 million native speakers of English in these countries alone. These users acquire the language since they appear on earth.
The second group of countries that have their own varieties of English own hundreds of millions. Their histories have been directly influenced by one of the early English-speaking societies. They use English in various important ways within their own government and everyday life. India, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Kenya are examples of this group.
In the third group of countries, English is widely used as a foreign language. However, citizens use their native language within their own government and in everyday life. Some countries in this group are China, Russia, Japan, Korea, Brazil, Indonesia, and many Western European countries. Some people calculate the number of speakers in this group to be as many as one billion - and it is growing the most speedily.
This changing situation raises many questions. Will another language replace English as the international language? If not, will people continue to use the English of countries such as England or the United States as models? Will new varieties of English develop in countries such as China or Brazil? Or, in the future, will a new international variety of English develop that doesn’t belong to any one country, but to an entire area like Asia or Europe?
(Active Skills for Reading, Neil J. Anderson, 2013)

Urbanization degrades the environment, according to conventional wisdom. This view has led many developing countries to limit rural - urban migration and curb urban expansion. But this view is incorrect. There are a number of reasons urbanization can be good for the environment, if managed properly.
First, urbanization brings higher productivity because of its positive externalities and economies of scale. Asian urban productivity is more than 5.5 times that of rural areas. The same output can be produced using fewer resources with urban agglomeration than without. In this sense, urbanization reduces the ecological footprint. The service sector requires urbanization because it needs a concentration of clients. As services generally pollute less than manufacturing, this aspect of urbanization is also beneficial to the environment.
Second, for any given population, the high urban density is benign for the environment. The urban economics literature shows that compactness is a key determinant of energy use. High density can make public transport more viable and reduce the length of trips. Urban living encourages walking and cycling rather than driving. Third, environment-friendly infrastructure and public services such as piped water, sanitation, and waste management are much easier and more economical to construct, maintain, and operate in an urban setting. Urbanization allows more people to have access to environment-friendly facilities and services at affordable prices.
Fourth, urbanization drives innovation, including green technologies. In the long term, environment-friendly equipment, machines, vehicles, and utilities will determine the future of the green economy. Green innovations in Asia's cities will be supported by the region's vast market as the billions of people who will be buying energy-efficient products will create opportunities and incentives for entrepreneurs to invest in developing such products. Finally, the higher standard of living associated with urbanization provides people with better food, education, housing, and health care. Urban growth generates revenues that fund infrastructure projects, reducing congestion and improving public health. Urbanization fosters a pro-environment stance among property owners and the middle class, which is crucial for the introduction and enforcement of environmental laws and regulations.
Of course, urbanization also comes with costs. Millions of people are migrating to Asian cities and companies are locating there to employ them. Urban sprawl and industrial activities, such as power generation, transportation, construction, garbage and waste disposal, harm the environment. An assessment of the impact of urbanization on the environment must balance its benign and adverse effects.

A. Urban sprawl brings challenges. B. Five things to do in the age of urbanization.
C. Urbanization might actually do some good. D. Driving force behind urbanization.

B. It is conducive to the later intervention of legal rules.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Movie studios and recording companies are in a constant fight against piracy. The Internet is the worst culprit. People often upload or watch pirated material, especially on video-sharing sites. The companies try to shut down these sites. They even sue the people using this material. Still, it has been of little use thus far. There are just too many people and websites with pirated materials. As well, these methods are making the studios and companies unpopular with the public. People are starting to see these companies as greedy. However, a new kind of software may change the nature of this fight.
Amazingly, it is advertising software that is making a difference. This new software can actually analyze videos on the Internet. When it finds a pirated video clip, it doesn’t report it. Instead, it just puts an ad at the bottom of the video. This is an ad for the original source of the material. For example, it could show a link to the website of the studio or recording company. Or, it could show an ad for a product that the company owns. In this way, each pirated copy would actually help make money for the original company. If you can’t beat them, join them!

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
With endless photo sharing apps and online platforms enabling teenagers to publicise their lives, it’s no wonder that some young people start to question their own experiences and body image, and start to feel inadequate. In fact, some of these sites have been associated with poor mental health, bullying, lack of sleep and depression, and are considered dangerous by many health professionals. However, since we live in a world of fake news and distorted truths, it’s not surprising that much of what is shared on these profiles by celebrities, influencers and normal people is also very often manipulated. Here we reveal some of the scary truths of online photo sharing.
We all know the feeling: we upload our latest holiday snaps, a photo with our best mates or a carefully planned out selfie, then wait to see just how many likes it will get. The more likes, the better we feel. But some people seem to get away more than anyone else. It could be that they have a lot of friends or alternatively, they could have subscribed to one of many free services that promise unlimited likes. They are usually free, all you have to do in return is a simple social action, such as sharing their website on your page, or completing an online survey. Repeating the action leads to more likes; and if that’s not enough, you can buy more.
There are similar ways to accumulate followers, although you usually have to pay for them. Influencers are often guilty of doing this. These people are usually paid in relation to the size of their audience, so more followers results in higher fees. There are ways to identify suspicious accounts and accounts that follow a lot of people, but have now followers of their own. Then there’s the issue of the photos themselves which tend to blue reality with fantasy. Many people feel the need to add the hashtag “no filter” to photos that have not been enhanced in some way, and yet those that don’t feature filters are also often not what they seem. This leads many people to believe others are living the perfect life, and feel inadequate in comparison.
So what can be done? Firstly, don’t take the information you find on these platforms too seriously. Much of what you see has been staged and edited. Experts are encouraging social media sites to make all information about likes and followers private, or even disable these functions. They are also campaigning for signals where images have been airbrushed. Alternatively, you could deactivate your social media accounts, although that is admittedly a little too drastic, even for me.

Ever since 1932, Black Friday has signaled the beginning of the Christmas shopping season in the United States. This shopping extravaganza follows Thanksgiving, on the fourth Thursday of November, and comes just before ‘Cyber Monday’.
Use of the name ‘Black Friday’ was first recorded as coming from Philadelphia, where it was used to describe heavy, disruptive vehicle and pedestrian traffic the day after Thanksgiving. Apparently, loads of people would go into town on the Friday after Turkey Day, before the yearly Army/Navy football game on Saturday; stores would take advantage of all the extra business by promoting big sales.
As ‘Black Friday’ became more popular in the early eighties, one “explanation” for the event became that this day represented the point in the year when retailers begin to make a profit, going from being "in the red" (meaning to be in debt) to "in the black" (meaning to be free of debt).
Black Friday is not an official holiday in the United States, but in some states government employees are given the day off. Schools and non-retail employees are normally given Thanksgiving Thursday and Black Friday as public holidays.
Most major retailers offer promotional sales with big discounts, and it has been the busiest shopping day every year since 2005. In 2014, sales revenues for Black Friday reached a whopping $11.6 billion, falling slightly to $10.4 in 2015. In 2013, overall spending from Thanksgiving Thursday up to Cyber Monday topped $56 billion!

A. A person, shop, or business that sells goods to the public
B. A person, shop, or business that sells goods to the big company only
C. A person, shop, or business that sells many kinds of goods
D. Someone who owns a store or website
A. Black Friday is a very busy day.
B. They cannot make big profit by promoting big sales
C. The term “Black Friday” was first recorded in Philadelphia.
D. Black Friday hasn’t been so popular nowadays.
Question 43: Which sentence is incorrect?
A. In 2014, sales revenues for Black Friday reached more than $12 billion.
B. In 2014, sales revenues for Black Friday reached $11.6 billion.
C. In 2014, sales revenues for Black Friday reached less than $12 billion.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
In the US, the number of stay-at-home dads nearly doubled from 1989 to 2012. But many people still find men becoming a full-time caregiver relatively odd. This caused men who make this choice to feel like the odd ones out. Even in cultures where fathers are expected to be more involved than in the past, they are still expected to be the breadwinners of the family.
The ideal father is expected to be more engaged in his children’s day-to-day lives than in the past, says Brendan Churchill, a senior lecturer in sociology at Australia's University of Melbourne. Even so, “the male breadwinner model lingers. It is reinforced daily in our culture and it also persists in our social policy frameworks, even though there’s been lots of change - our reference point is still that family of four with a male breadwinner.” he says. This cultural belief that fathers should ‘protect and provide’ can plant an insidious narrative in the heads of stay-at-home dads, even those who feel that they’re best suited to contributing to their families in their role as the primary caregiver.
The idea of the male breadwinner does harm to men and fathers, because it prevents them from being engaged or involved,” says Churchill. Some fathers have tried to tap into networks of dads, either in their friendship groups or online. But the results have been mixed. In London, Cameron and his wife did a prenatal course with several other couples. After the course finished, the chat group for the mums stayed active. The dads’ group did not. He did stay in touch with one of the fathers, he says, particularly by bonding over something not baby-related: they support the same football team.
Despite the challenges, many stay-at-home dads say they wouldn’t want it any other way. Breaking down stereotypes around stay-at-home dads isn’t just good for fathers who in that role. It’s something that can be empowering and liberating for all fathers.

A. Breaking Down Stereotypes: A Story of a Non-working Father
B. Fewer Stay-at-home Dads, Fewer Problems?

A. has discouraged many fathers from fulfilling their role as the primary caregiver
B. helps a lot of fathers to get more involved in their children’s everyday lives
C. reflects an idea that the father should be the one who earns money in the family.
D. has made considerable modifications to the social policy frameworks
Question 47: The word “it” in paragraph 3 refers to ______.
A. breadwinner B. harm C. idea D. position

Is synchronized swimming really a sport? Despite the doubt of many people, synchronized swimming is one of the most underrated but most difficult sports, and it certainly deserves to be in the Olympic Games. Olympic synchronized swimmers train for as long as eight hours a day, for six days a week- much longer than most other Olympic sports. The athletes are not just in the water the whole time, they spend hours stretching, doing Pilates, strength conditioning, diligently training, lifting weights, performing ballet, and even dancing and doing gymnastics. Because of this, synchronized swimmers are some of the strongest and skillful athletes to compete in the modern Olympic Games.
Synchronized swimmers must perform many movements and positions called figures while managing their breathing and coordination with the swimmers around them. To increase their lung capacity, often times synchronized swimmers will do exercises called "unders" during practices. They will swim a 25- meter lap underwater, repeating this exercise over and over until they're beyond exhausted. This exercise is completely necessary for synchronized swimmers to master, because more than half of a routine is performed underwater.
Although synchronized swimming is a very graceful and beautiful sport, there can be some dangers. The synchronized swimmers can't touch the bottom of the pool in a routine, or they'll be disqualified. They must continuously move their legs in circular movements, like an egg-beater. Because synchronized swimming is a contact sport and the swimmer's kicks are so powerful, swimmers may get hit by other competitors' legs, causing concussions or knocking off nose clips, which is an essential piece of equipment. Since it's fairly common for a nose clip to get knocked off, many times swimmers will swim with a couple extras.

Shakespeare's Globe Theatre is a popular topic for people interested in theater and history. However, the Globe Theatre as we know it today is not the same building that was used originally. In fact, the Globe was situated in many different places during its long history.
When the rental agreement on the original location ended, one of the actors bought a theater called the Blackfriars, which was located in another part of town. However, many complaints from neighbors and the town council led to the creation of a petition that requested that the acting group move their company out of town. Upset with this news, the actors returned to the original theater, took most of it apart, and then moved the materials across the Thames River to Bankside, where they proceeded to construct the next version of the Globe.
This endeavor, though, did not go so smoothly. The owner of the original Globe Theatre, who had rented it to the actors, took the acting group to court. He wanted the actors to pay for the damage they had done to his building. In the end, however, the actors won the case and continued to construct their "newly- acquired" theater. Later, the actors split their plays between the original theater and the new Globe.
In 1643, the original Globe Theatre burned to the ground. How did this happen? Historians believe that a cannon that was shot during a performance of the play Henry Vill started a large fire. Yet, the Globe Theatre still survived. A new Globe was later completed on the same site before Shakespeare's death. However, it was shut down by the Puritans in 1642 and later destroyed during the English Civil War of 1643.
In May of 1997, Queen Elizabeth II officially opened a newly constructed version of the Globe with a production of Henry V. This is the Globe Theatre that people visit today. The queen wanted the new theater to be much like the old one. The new model is very similar to the original theater. For instance, it is also a three-story building. Also, it has seating for 1,500 people. It also has an area called the "yard" on the lower level. In its first season, the theater attracted 210,000 people.

Milpa Alta is famous for a traditional meal every Christmas, called La Rejunta. The meal is part of the Christmas celebrations and it feeds huge numbers of people. The cooks make about sixty thousand tamales. They also make about fifteen thousand litres of hot chocolate. The meal is one of the activities for people who go on a walk to the cave of El Señor de Chalma.
Every year, the organisers of the meal change. This year, Virginia Meza Torres and her husband Fermín Lara Jiménez are the organisers, or majordomos. They waited for 14 years to do this. Lots of people want to organise the meal because it’s a very important tradition. They put their names on a list. At the moment, the list has names for every year until 2046.
The preparation for the meal takes a whole year. At the start of the year, men collect wood from the forest. They store it near the home of the majordomos so that it will be dry and ready to use. The farmers in the area grow the ingredients for the meal, such as corn, meat and vegetables. Everything is natural; there’s no ready-made food.
Tradition is very important to the people of Milpa Alta, and one of the most important activities is eating together.

Read the following passage and mark the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50
Scientists are studying genes that could mean long life for us all. There are now so many healthy elderly people that there's a name for them: the wellderly. These are people over the age of eighty who have no major illnesses, such as high blood pressure, heart disease or diabetes.
There are many scientific studies of communities where a healthy old age is typical. These include places like Calabria in southern Italy and the island of Okinawa in Japan. In Calabria, the small village of Molochio has a population of about 2,000. And of these 2,000 people, there are at least eight people over a hundred years old.
In the past, scientists looked at things such as diet and lifestyle for an explanation of long life. But these days they are also looking at genetic factors. Researcher Eric Topol says that there are probably genes that protect people from the effects of the ageing process. The new research into long life investigates groups of people who have a genetic connection. One interesting group lives in Ecuador. In one area of the country there are a number of people with the same genetic condition. It's called Laron syndrome. On the other side of the world, on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, there's another group of long-lived men. They are Japanese-Americans but they have a similar gene to the Laron syndrome group.
In Calabria, researchers constructed the family trees of the 100-year-old people. They looked at family information from the 19th century to today. They think that there are genetic factors that give health benefits to the men. This is interesting because generally, in Europe, women live longer than men.
So what really makes people live longer? Probably, it's a combination of genes, the environment and one more thing – luck.
Question 44: What does the passage mainly discuss to understand long life?
A. people's lifestyles and where they live
B. genetic factors and environmental factors
C. people’s diet and what kind of activities they do

Smoking is one of the biggest causes of death and illness in the UK. Every year around 78,000 people in the UK die from smoking and many more live with smoking-related illnesses. It increases your risk of developing more than 50 serious health conditions. Some may be fatal, and others can cause irreversible long-term damage to your health. You can become ill if you smoke yourself or if people around you smoke (passive smoking). Smoking causes around 7 out of every 10 cases of lung cancer (70%). It also causes cancer in many other parts of the body, including the throat or voice box (larynx). Moreover, smoking damages your heart and your blood circulation, increasing your risk of developing conditions such as coronary heart disease and heart attack. Breathing in secondhand smoke, also known as passive smoking, increases your risk of getting the same health conditions as smokers. For example, if you have never smoked but you have a spouse who smokes, your risk of developing lung cancer increases by about a quarter. Babies and children are particularly vulnerable to the effects of secondhand smoke. A child who’s exposed to passive smoke is at increased risk of developing chest infection, meningitis, persistent cough and, if they have asthma, their symptoms will get worse.
Question 39: What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Smoking is very harmful to health. B. Smoking is common in the UK.
C. Men smoke more than women. D. Secondhand smoke has bad effects on children.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Many stories about recovery from burnout - a type of chronic stress which leaves people physically and emotionally exhausted - are very similar: the affected person realizes the problem and starts to overhaul their lifestyle: in just a short period of time, they may quit their job, move to another country, or end a relationship. Then, they successfully recover. However, according to Stela Salminen, a doctoral candidate at the University of Jyvaskyla, Finland, this is not always the case.
Dramatic life changes might be beneficial for some people, but in her own research Salminen has found one factor which truly unites those who recover: realising that they are in control. For a small study in 2015, she interviewed 12 burnout sufferers. Researchers assessed participants to determine the severity of their burnout at the time of the study and seven months later. Their scores were then compared to what they said to look for patterns. The analysis revealed that those who recovered successfully experienced a revelation that they are in charge of their own wellbeing.
Salminen explains that if burnout sufferers believe that they can influence their environment, they usually take the necessary steps to reverse the factors which got them there in the first place. This might include things like improving sleep habits, since this is one of the best ways to reset when you're stressed, or drawing clear lines between work and non-work time. "People who have a sense of agency take steps in the workplace, make changes in their families; they take care of themselves, and they're more aware of their own limitations," she says.
One way to achieve this feeling of self-control is to attend slightly scary sounding "burnout rehabilitation programmes". These can come in many different forms - such as luxury retreats and basic online courses - but broadly they involve some kind of cognitive therapy to help people re-frame their experiences in a more productive way. Another is to gain control of another aspect of your life, such as by taking up a creative hobby or exercising more often. The late famous painting instructor Bob Ross often emphasised this, advising viewers that "If you don’t like it, change it. It’s your world."
Another important predictor of recovery from burnout is a healthy life. "Family relationships, one's overall health - these tend to influence people who have gone through burnout and are on the path to recovery," says Salminen. "Finding emotional support seems to be the first step towards recovery," says Salminen. "It can come from many different places - occupational health care like a psychologist, it can be support from family members, or support from colleagues." By validating your experiences, these people can help to improve your motivation and how you see yourself, and regardless of what happens in your journey to recovery, this can only be good.

D. When people recover from burnout, paying attention to mental health seems to be the first step.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Throughout Asia, marriage behaviour and family life are changing. Young people are getting married later than previous generations. Couples have fewer children, and more married women are working outside the home. Such trends were first observed in Japan and more recently in South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore. Similar patterns are starting to emerge in other Asian countries. However, other aspects of family life in Asia are still quite different from the way family institutions have developed in the West. Fewer Asian couples live together outside marriage, and childbearing outside marriage is extremely rare. Marriage is generally viewed as a permanent arrangement, and divorce rates, although rising, are still quite low in most Asian societies. The traditional family structures of Southeast Asia are more varied. Among the large populations of Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, young couples typically establish their own independent households, or a man may move in with his wife's parents, at least for a while. At marriage, the husband's family often makes a gift to the family of the wife. Although most young couples establish a home of their own, the youngest daughter and her husband may stay with her parents to look after them in their old age and eventually inherit their property.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Kakenya Ntaiya is the oldest of eight children in her family, belonging to Kenya’s Maasai tribe. When Ntaiya was young, her father worked in a distant city, and the family was extremely poor. As the eldest, Ntaiya helped to feed and care for the younger children. She carried water, gathered firewood, cooked meals, and worked in the field. Like all the girls in her village, she was supposed to follow tradition and learn the skills to be a good Maasai wife.
Her father expected her to marry at age 13, as was the custom. However, Ntaiya didn’t feel the same way. She had a plan. And she was brave enough to make it work. With all the courage she could find in herself, she went to her father and said she would do what he wanted if he let her finish high school. Her father agreed. Ntaiya graduated from high school with top honors.
After graduation, Ntaiya decided she wanted to attend college - a university in the United States. By then, however, her father was sick and in a hospital. All the family money went to his care, so there was no money for Ntaiya.
Ntaiya met the village leaders. At first, they were angry with her for daring to do what even few boys dreamed about. She promised she would use her education to help the village. She promised to come back and build a school. One village leader saw her determination and agreed to help her. He gave her money, and she also received a scholarship to Randolph-Macon Women’s College in the United States. In 2004, Ntaiya received her bachelor’s degree. Later, she got a job at the United Nations. In 2011, she received her doctorate in education — all made possible by her courage and her will to succeed.
Ntaiya did not forget her promise to the village. She returned to Enoosaen and in 2009, she opened the first primary school for girls in her village, the Kakenya Center for Excellence. There the students have education and opportunities that Ntaiya had to fight so hard for. Girls that were once forced to marry at 13 are now dreaming of becoming doctors, lawyers, pilots, and business women.

It’s a common misconception that mosquitoes suck blood for food. Mosquitoes ingest blood to nourish their bodies so they can lay and hatch healthy eggs. Mosquitoes can lay 100 eggs at a time, so populations of this pest can get out of control quickly. When eliminating mosquitoes, it’s key to use multiple methods, to kill mosquitoes at every stage of the life cycle.
It’s also important to note that repelling and killing mosquitoes aren’t the same thing. Repelling mosquitoes will keep them away from you by making you less attractive to them. They’re attracted to the carbon dioxide from our breath and elements of our sweat. Mosquitoes are also attracted to standing water, laying eggs in areas such as birdbaths, damp potting soil, standing water in kitchens, puddles, and more.
Killing mosquitoes may seem like a tempting option, but it’s not always in our—or the environment’s - best interest. That’s because mosquitoes can become resistant to pesticides, making them harder to kill over time. Try natural methods first if your infestation is minor, or turn to the pros if you’re dealing with serious mosquito problems.
Question 39: Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Dangers of Mosquitoes B. Mosquitoes and West Nile Virus

Today, more than 800 million people across the globe go to bed hungry every night, most of them smallholder farmers who depend on agriculture to make a living and feed their families. Despite an explosion in the growth of urban slums over the last decade, nearly 75 percent of poor people in developing countries live in rural areas. Growth in the agriculture sector - from farm to fork - has been shown to be at least twice as effective in reducing poverty as growth in other sectors.
Investing in these smallholder farmers - many of whom are women - and the food systems that nourish them is more important than ever. In order to feed a population expected to grow to 9 billion people by 2050, the world will have to double its current food production. Given scarcity of natural resources and other challenges, the world will need to be more efficient in how it meets this demand. To ensure that people have sufficient food, aligning short-term assistance with a long-term development strategy can help countries feed their own people.
By addressing acute need as well as the root causes of hunger, poverty and malnutrition, USAID is strengthening prosperity and security while demonstrating American generosity around the world. USAID’s programs draw on America’s strength in agriculture and bring benefits back to America as well. For example, USAID’s research investments have helped farmers abroad and in the United States protect their harvests from pests and disease.
The enactment of the Global Food Security Act of 2016 and the Global Food Security Reauthorization Act of 2018 solidified the U.S. Government’s continued, bipartisan commitment to reducing hunger, malnutrition and poverty around the world.

You may already know that British people share their love for tea and the British Royal family. However, there are many things you have yet to learn about British culture, customs, and traditions.
Although British people have a reputation for acting cold towards others, surprisingly, they like kisses on the cheek as a form of greeting. When greeting a good friend or family member in the UK, you do not simply shake their hand. If you are not a close friend or family member, the physical touch is perceived as odd, and a handshake or a smile can go a long way.
Brits are very strict when it comes to being punctual. If you are late once in the UK, you will likely not be late again. The British consider being late disrespectful and rude, especially at private dinner parties or someone’s home. If you cannot arrive on time at some place or event, make sure you let the host know beforehand.
British people love to follow the rules, especially when it comes to waiting in a queue, whether at the supermarket or the cinema. Those who dare and jump the queue will most likely be called out. If you do jump the queue for whatever reason, be prepared to get yelled at or even kick you out of the queue altogether.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Global fresh water demand will outstrip supply by 40% by 2030, say experts. The world is facing an imminent water crisis, with demand expected to outstrip the supply of fresh water by 40% by the end of this decade, experts have said on the eve of a crucial UN water summit.
Governments must urgently stop subsidising the extraction and overuse of water through misdirected agricultural subsidies, and industries from mining to manufacturing must be made to overhaul their wasteful practices, according to a landmark report on the economics of water.
Nations must start to manage water as a global common good, because most countries are highly dependent on their neighbours for water supplies, and overuse, pollution and the climate crisis threaten water supplies globally, the report’s authors say.
Johan Rockstrom, a lead author of the report, told the Guardian the world’s neglect of water resources was leading to disaster. “The scientific evidence is that we have a water crisis. We are misusing water, polluting water, and changing the whole global hydrological cycle, through what we are doing to the climate. It’s a triple crisis.”
The report marks the first time the global water system has been scrutinised comprehensively and its value to countries – and the risks to their prosperity if water is neglected – laid out in clear terms. Like with the Stern review of the economics of the climate crisis in 2006 and the Dasgupta review of the economics of biodiversity in 2021, the report authors hope to highlight the crisis in a way that policymakers and economists can recognise.
Many governments still do not realise how interdependent they are when it comes to water, according to Rockstrom. Most countries depend for about half of their water supply on the evaporation of water from neighbouring countries – known as “green” water because it is held in soils and delivered from transpiration in forests and other ecosystems, when plants take up water from the soil and release vapour into the air from their leaves.
Question 44. Which of the following can be the best tittle for the passage?
A. The Overuse of Water in Agriculture and Industry
B. Irresponsibility of Many Governments in Water Conservation
C. Measures to Manage Fresh Water
D. A Report on Water Crisis
Question 45. In paragraph 2, the word “their” refers to _______.
A. governments’ B. industries’ C. experts’ D. crisises’
Question 46. The word “neglect” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. achievement B. praise C. obedience D. disrespect
Question 47. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. By 2030, global fresh water supply will be greater than human demand by 40%.
B. Government should stop agricultural subsidies as soon as possible if water is overused.
C. It’s time nations considered water a global common good.
D. “Green” water is held in soils and delivered from transpiration in forests and other ecosystems
Question 48. According to paragraph 5, _______.
A. the risks to the prosperity of countries are insignificant if water is neglected
B. the report authors hope to force policymakers to prevent people from wasting water
C. the report marks the first time the global water system and its values are fully clarified
D. the aims of the report is different from that of two other reviews in 2006 and 2021.
Question 49. The word “take up” in paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. disperse B. absorb C. emit D. devour
Question 50. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. To make a lot of money, you should not take a job with a low starting salary.
B. Agriculture is the sector that uses water most.
C. Many governments are unaware of their roles in water management.
D. Before the report by Johan Rockstrom, global fresh water has never been paid attention.

Peer pressure, the strong influence from members of the same age group or social group on others’ psychology, thoughts and behaviour, has remained widespread among teenagers in recent years. If teenagers are unable to tackle it, they will wilt under the pressure of low self-esteem and depression.
In the digital age, young students are overwhelmed with tremendous online articles about admirable achievements of ‘someone else’s child’ or ‘a prodigy next door’. Consequently, reality is replete with teens who seem reserved and like to hide in their own room for fear of being asked about exam results or tolerating unfavourable comparisons from their relatives and acquaintances. In addition, many teens nowadays tend to make friends with those who study well or have good looks, so many young students have to change who they are so as to fit in with their peers. In other words, weak-minded and average individuals become worn out in an attempt to get flying colours, look slim and fit as well as possess cool tech gadgets.
To handle negative peer pressure, students need to alter their opinions, care for their own feelings more than others’ thoughts and trusting in their own abilities. Accepting ones’ imperfections is another way to stop pushing themselves beyond the limits of their mental endurance. Besides, if teenagers’ parents are one of the factors that make them stressed about peer pressure, they should spend more time talking frankly with them to get sympathy and mutual understanding.

A. Peer pressure – a very unsettling situation
B. Teenagers’ ways to deal with peer pressure

D. children flinch from keeping up with their ideal friends.
Question 42: The word “alter” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. change B. express C. reveal D. deny

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.
ChatGPT is a new AI chatbot that can not only fluently answers questions from online users but also generate realistic, human-like essays. This is why the chatbot is causing a debate in the field of education, with experts, teachers, and students divided about whether it will ruin learning or enhance it.
Mike Sharples, a professor at the Open University in the UK, had ChatGPT generate a scientific article that he said "could pass a first academic review." And this is what many teachers are concerned about: AI systems becoming increasingly powerful, and students learning how to use AI in education much faster than older generations can keep up. They see an awful scenario where professors might think that they have taught their students well when they receive error-free assignments but, in fact, it's all down to ChatGPT or a similar tool. Debarka Sengupta, an AI expert, has similar concerns. He worries that academic standards could suffer if students start to depend on the technology. If they stop learning how to write essays themselves and use ChatGPT instead, they could become "extremely incompetent and addicted."
However, there are those who see the chatbot as a tool with immense potential like Bernadette Mathew, a PhD student in biology. She has been learning how to write computer programs to help her analyse the huge amount of data that her experiments produce, but learning to code left her struggling to keep up with her research. And this is where she turned to ChatGPT, which helped explain what she doesn't understand about coding, find errors in her own codes, and sometimes even code for her. ChatGPT could also help in other areas. For example, the ideas it generate can prompt students to write the difficult first words or first paragraph of an essay, to give them the confidence they need to start writing more.
Calculators changed how mathematics were taught. Before calculators, the result was paramount. But, when calculators came, it also became a necessity to show how you had solved the problem. Some experts have suggested that a similar thing could happen with academic essays, where they are no longer only evaluated on what they say but also on how students edit and improve a text generated by an AI. ChatGPT is definitely not going away, and adapting to it will be a challenge for teaching, but there are also opportunities for schools, colleges, and universities to get better at educating.
Question 44: Which best serves as the title for this passage?
A. AI Experts Share Views On The Future of ChatGPT And Education
B. How Relying Too Much On ChatGPT Disrupts Students' Learning
C. The Debate Over ChatGPT In Education Is Heating Up, Here's Why

D. students will no longer be able to learn from the errors they make
Question 46: The word “They” in paragraph 2 refers to _________.
A. teachers B. systems C. students D. generations
Question 47: The word “prompt” in paragraph 3 can be best replaced by _________.
A. recommend B. instruct C. encourage D. remind
Question 48: Which of the following is NOT supported by information in the passage?
A. Older generations do not accept technological changes like young students.
B. Overdependence on ChatGPT can severely harm students' writing ability.
C. After calculators, people pay attention to both solving method and result.
D. In the long run, ChatGPT may change the way academic essays are graded.
Question 49: The word “paramount” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _________.
A. beneficial B. practical C. dominant D. significant
Question 50: Which of the following can most likely be inferred from the passage?
A. While most experts have concerns about ChatGPT, there are others who support it.
B. Since the creation of ChatGPT, students' academic performance have become worse.
C. Bernadette Mathew did not understand ChatGPT's potential until she used it herself.
D. ChatGPT can benefit students when used in the initial stages of the writing process.

English is called an international language, but there are actually quite a few varieties of English that exist around the world. Though English originated in England, soon it spread to other countries, and different varieties of English began to exist. Today, the countries in which English is spoken can be allocated to three groups.
The first group is made of those countries where English is the primary language, including countries like England, Canada, the United States, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. There are more than 380 million native speakers of English in these countries alone. These users acquire the language since they appear on earth.
The second group of countries that have their own varieties of English own hundreds of millions. Their histories have been directly influenced by one of the early English-speaking societies. They use English in various important ways within their own government and everyday life. India, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Kenya are examples of this group.
In the third group of countries, English is widely used as a foreign language. However, citizens use their native language within their own government and in everyday life. Some countries in this group are China, Russia, Japan, Korea, Brazil, Indonesia, and many Western European countries. Some people calculate the number of speakers in this group to be as many as one billion - and it is growing the most speedily.
This changing situation raises many questions. Will another language replace English as the international language? If not, will people continue to use the English of countries such as England or the United States as models? Will new varieties of English develop in countries such as China or Brazil? Or, in the future, will a new international variety of English develop that doesn’t belong to any one country, but to an entire area like Asia or Europe?
(Active Skills for Reading, Neil J. Anderson, 2013)

Urbanization degrades the environment, according to conventional wisdom. This view has led many developing countries to limit rural - urban migration and curb urban expansion. But this view is incorrect. There are a number of reasons urbanization can be good for the environment, if managed properly.
First, urbanization brings higher productivity because of its positive externalities and economies of scale. Asian urban productivity is more than 5.5 times that of rural areas. The same output can be produced using fewer resources with urban agglomeration than without. In this sense, urbanization reduces the ecological footprint. The service sector requires urbanization because it needs a concentration of clients. As services generally pollute less than manufacturing, this aspect of urbanization is also beneficial to the environment.
Second, for any given population, the high urban density is benign for the environment. The urban economics literature shows that compactness is a key determinant of energy use. High density can make public transport more viable and reduce the length of trips. Urban living encourages walking and cycling rather than driving. Third, environment-friendly infrastructure and public services such as piped water, sanitation, and waste management are much easier and more economical to construct, maintain, and operate in an urban setting. Urbanization allows more people to have access to environment-friendly facilities and services at affordable prices.
Fourth, urbanization drives innovation, including green technologies. In the long term, environment-friendly equipment, machines, vehicles, and utilities will determine the future of the green economy. Green innovations in Asia's cities will be supported by the region's vast market as the billions of people who will be buying energy-efficient products will create opportunities and incentives for entrepreneurs to invest in developing such products. Finally, the higher standard of living associated with urbanization provides people with better food, education, housing, and health care. Urban growth generates revenues that fund infrastructure projects, reducing congestion and improving public health. Urbanization fosters a pro-environment stance among property owners and the middle class, which is crucial for the introduction and enforcement of environmental laws and regulations.
Of course, urbanization also comes with costs. Millions of people are migrating to Asian cities and companies are locating there to employ them. Urban sprawl and industrial activities, such as power generation, transportation, construction, garbage and waste disposal, harm the environment. An assessment of the impact of urbanization on the environment must balance its benign and adverse effects.

Movie studios and recording companies are in a constant fight against piracy. The Internet is the worst culprit. People often upload or watch pirated material, especially on video-sharing sites. The companies try to shut down these sites. They even sue the people using this material. Still, it has been of little use thus far. There are just too many people and websites with pirated materials. As well, these methods are making the studios and companies unpopular with the public. People are starting to see these companies as greedy. However, a new kind of software may change the nature of this fight.
Amazingly, it is advertising software that is making a difference. This new software can actually analyze videos on the Internet. When it finds a pirated video clip, it doesn’t report it. Instead, it just puts an ad at the bottom of the video. This is an ad for the original source of the material. For example, it could show a link to the website of the studio or recording company. Or, it could show an ad for a product that the company owns. In this way, each pirated copy would actually help make money for the original company. If you can’t beat them, join them!

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
With endless photo sharing apps and online platforms enabling teenagers to publicise their lives, it’s no wonder that some young people start to question their own experiences and body image, and start to feel inadequate. In fact, some of these sites have been associated with poor mental health, bullying, lack of sleep and depression, and are considered dangerous by many health professionals. However, since we live in a world of fake news and distorted truths, it’s not surprising that much of what is shared on these profiles by celebrities, influencers and normal people is also very often manipulated. Here we reveal some of the scary truths of online photo sharing.
We all know the feeling: we upload our latest holiday snaps, a photo with our best mates or a carefully planned out selfie, then wait to see just how many likes it will get. The more likes, the better we feel. But some people seem to get away more than anyone else. It could be that they have a lot of friends or alternatively, they could have subscribed to one of many free services that promise unlimited likes. They are usually free, all you have to do in return is a simple social action, such as sharing their website on your page, or completing an online survey. Repeating the action leads to more likes; and if that’s not enough, you can buy more.
There are similar ways to accumulate followers, although you usually have to pay for them. Influencers are often guilty of doing this. These people are usually paid in relation to the size of their audience, so more followers results in higher fees. There are ways to identify suspicious accounts and accounts that follow a lot of people, but have now followers of their own. Then there’s the issue of the photos themselves which tend to blue reality with fantasy. Many people feel the need to add the hashtag “no filter” to photos that have not been enhanced in some way, and yet those that don’t feature filters are also often not what they seem. This leads many people to believe others are living the perfect life, and feel inadequate in comparison.
So what can be done? Firstly, don’t take the information you find on these platforms too seriously. Much of what you see has been staged and edited. Experts are encouraging social media sites to make all information about likes and followers private, or even disable these functions. They are also campaigning for signals where images have been airbrushed. Alternatively, you could deactivate your social media accounts, although that is admittedly a little too drastic, even for me.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Ever since 1932, Black Friday has signaled the beginning of the Christmas shopping season in the United States. This shopping extravaganza follows Thanksgiving, on the fourth Thursday of November, and comes just before ‘Cyber Monday’.
Use of the name ‘Black Friday’ was first recorded as coming from Philadelphia, where it was used to describe heavy, disruptive vehicle and pedestrian traffic the day after Thanksgiving. Apparently, loads of people would go into town on the Friday after Turkey Day, before the yearly Army/Navy football game on Saturday; stores would take advantage of all the extra business by promoting big sales.
As ‘Black Friday’ became more popular in the early eighties, one “explanation” for the event became that this day represented the point in the year when retailers begin to make a profit, going from being "in the red" (meaning to be in debt) to "in the black" (meaning to be free of debt).
Black Friday is not an official holiday in the United States, but in some states government employees are given the day off. Schools and non-retail employees are normally given Thanksgiving Thursday and Black Friday as public holidays.
Most major retailers offer promotional sales with big discounts, and it has been the busiest shopping day every year since 2005. In 2014, sales revenues for Black Friday reached a whopping $11.6 billion, falling slightly to $10.4 in 2015. In 2013, overall spending from Thanksgiving Thursday up to Cyber Monday topped $56 billion!
Question 39: What is the main idea of this passage?
- A. The origin of Black Friday.
- B. Black Friday is a public holiday.
- C. Black Friday signals the start of the Easter season.
- D. Black Friday comes before Thanksgiving.
A. A person, shop, or business that sells goods to the public
B. A person, shop, or business that sells goods to the big company only
C. A person, shop, or business that sells many kinds of goods
D. Someone who owns a store or website

A. Black Friday is a very busy day.
B. They cannot make big profit by promoting big sales
C. The term “Black Friday” was first recorded in Philadelphia.
D. Black Friday hasn’t been so popular nowadays.

B. In 2014, sales revenues for Black Friday reached $11.6 billion.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
In the US, the number of stay-at-home dads nearly doubled from 1989 to 2012. But many people still find men becoming a full-time caregiver relatively odd. This caused men who make this choice to feel like the odd ones out. Even in cultures where fathers are expected to be more involved than in the past, they are still expected to be the breadwinners of the family.
The ideal father is expected to be more engaged in his children’s day-to-day lives than in the past, says Brendan Churchill, a senior lecturer in sociology at Australia's University of Melbourne. Even so, “the male breadwinner model lingers. It is reinforced daily in our culture and it also persists in our social policy frameworks, even though there’s been lots of change - our reference point is still that family of four with a male breadwinner.” he says. This cultural belief that fathers should ‘protect and provide’ can plant an insidious narrative in the heads of stay-at-home dads, even those who feel that they’re best suited to contributing to their families in their role as the primary caregiver.
The idea of the male breadwinner does harm to men and fathers, because it prevents them from being engaged or involved,” says Churchill. Some fathers have tried to tap into networks of dads, either in their friendship groups or online. But the results have been mixed. In London, Cameron and his wife did a prenatal course with several other couples. After the course finished, the chat group for the mums stayed active. The dads’ group did not. He did stay in touch with one of the fathers, he says, particularly by bonding over something not baby-related: they support the same football team.
Despite the challenges, many stay-at-home dads say they wouldn’t want it any other way. Breaking down stereotypes around stay-at-home dads isn’t just good for fathers who in that role. It’s something that can be empowering and liberating for all fathers.

Is synchronized swimming really a sport? Despite the doubt of many people, synchronized swimming is one of the most underrated but most difficult sports, and it certainly deserves to be in the Olympic Games. Olympic synchronized swimmers train for as long as eight hours a day, for six days a week- much longer than most other Olympic sports. The athletes are not just in the water the whole time, they spend hours stretching, doing Pilates, strength conditioning, diligently training, lifting weights, performing ballet, and even dancing and doing gymnastics. Because of this, synchronized swimmers are some of the strongest and skillful athletes to compete in the modern Olympic Games.
Synchronized swimmers must perform many movements and positions called figures while managing their breathing and coordination with the swimmers around them. To increase their lung capacity, often times synchronized swimmers will do exercises called "unders" during practices. They will swim a 25- meter lap underwater, repeating this exercise over and over until they're beyond exhausted. This exercise is completely necessary for synchronized swimmers to master, because more than half of a routine is performed underwater.
Although synchronized swimming is a very graceful and beautiful sport, there can be some dangers. The synchronized swimmers can't touch the bottom of the pool in a routine, or they'll be disqualified. They must continuously move their legs in circular movements, like an egg-beater. Because synchronized swimming is a contact sport and the swimmer's kicks are so powerful, swimmers may get hit by other competitors' legs, causing concussions or knocking off nose clips, which is an essential piece of equipment. Since it's fairly common for a nose clip to get knocked off, many times swimmers will swim with a couple extras.

The Globe
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre is a popular topic for people interested in theater and history. However, the Globe Theatre as we know it today is not the same building that was used originally. In fact, the Globe was situated in many different places during its long history.
When the rental agreement on the original location ended, one of the actors bought a theater called the Blackfriars, which was located in another part of town. However, many complaints from neighbors and the town council led to the creation of a petition that requested that the acting group move their company out of town. Upset with this news, the actors returned to the original theater, took most of it apart, and then moved the materials across the Thames River to Bankside, where they proceeded to construct the next version of the Globe.
This endeavor, though, did not go so smoothly. The owner of the original Globe Theatre, who had rented it to the actors, took the acting group to court. He wanted the actors to pay for the damage they had done to his building. In the end, however, the actors won the case and continued to construct their "newly- acquired" theater. Later, the actors split their plays between the original theater and the new Globe.
In 1643, the original Globe Theatre burned to the ground. How did this happen? Historians believe that a cannon that was shot during a performance of the play Henry Vill started a large fire. Yet, the Globe Theatre still survived. A new Globe was later completed on the same site before Shakespeare's death. However, it was shut down by the Puritans in 1642 and later destroyed during the English Civil War of 1643.
In May of 1997, Queen Elizabeth II officially opened a newly constructed version of the Globe with a production of Henry V. This is the Globe Theatre that people visit today. The queen wanted the new theater to be much like the old one. The new model is very similar to the original theater. For instance, it is also a three-story building. Also, it has seating for 1,500 people. It also has an area called the "yard" on the lower level. In its first season, the theater attracted 210,000 people.

Milpa Alta is famous for a traditional meal every Christmas, called La Rejunta. The meal is part of the Christmas celebrations and it feeds huge numbers of people. The cooks make about sixty thousand tamales. They also make about fifteen thousand litres of hot chocolate. The meal is one of the activities for people who go on a walk to the cave of El Señor de Chalma.
Every year, the organisers of the meal change. This year, Virginia Meza Torres and her husband Fermín Lara Jiménez are the organisers, or majordomos. They waited for 14 years to do this. Lots of people want to organise the meal because it’s a very important tradition. They put their names on a list. At the moment, the list has names for every year until 2046.
The preparation for the meal takes a whole year. At the start of the year, men collect wood from the forest. They store it near the home of the majordomos so that it will be dry and ready to use. The farmers in the area grow the ingredients for the meal, such as corn, meat and vegetables. Everything is natural; there’s no ready-made food.
Tradition is very important to the people of Milpa Alta, and one of the most important activities is eating together. One woman, Josefina García Jiménez, says that sitting together at the table shows love to your family. Everybody stays at the table after the meal finishes and they talk, tell stories and laugh together.

Read the following passage and mark the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50
Scientists are studying genes that could mean long life for us all. There are now so many healthy elderly people that there's a name for them: the wellderly. These are people over the age of eighty who have no major illnesses, such as high blood pressure, heart disease or diabetes.
There are many scientific studies of communities where a healthy old age is typical. These include places like Calabria in southern Italy and the island of Okinawa in Japan. In Calabria, the small village of Molochio has a population of about 2,000. And of these 2,000 people, there are at least eight people over a hundred years old.
In the past, scientists looked at things such as diet and lifestyle for an explanation of long life. But these days they are also looking at genetic factors. Researcher Eric Topol says that there are probably genes that protect people from the effects of the ageing process. The new research into long life investigates groups of people who have a genetic connection. One interesting group lives in Ecuador. In one area of the country there are a number of people with the same genetic condition. It's called Laron syndrome. On the other side of the world, on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, there's another group of long-lived men. They are Japanese-Americans but they have a similar gene to the Laron syndrome group.
In Calabria, researchers constructed the family trees of the 100-year-old people. They looked at family information from the 19th century to today. They think that there are genetic factors that give health benefits to the men. This is interesting because generally, in Europe, women live longer than men.
So what really makes people live longer? Probably, it's a combination of genes, the environment and one more thing – luck.
Question 44: What does the passage mainly discuss to understand long life?
A. people's lifestyles and where they live
B. genetic factors and environmental factors
C. people’s diet and what kind of activities they do
D. where a healthy old age is typical
Question 45: What do some people from Ecuador and Okinawa have in common?
A. They have diabetes.
B. They have a genetic syndrome.
C. They live long, healthy lives.
D. They don’t suffer from heart disease or diabetes.
Question 46: According to paragraph 1, the word 'wellderly' is closest in meaning to ______.
A. healthy people B. over 100 years old.
C. over 80 years old. D. elderly people with health problems.
Question 47: The word “These” in paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. Scientific studies B. Communities
C. People D. Researchers
Question 48: In can be inferred from the passage that______ .
A. some places have an unusual number of very old people.
B. Italy and Japan are very healthy places to live.
C. people who live in small villages live longer.
D. people with Laron syndrome develop their height faster
Question 49: The word “investigates” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by _______.
A. examines B. divides C. captures D. operates
Question 50: Laron syndrome ______.
A. is linked with weight B. is a problem for people with diabetes.
C. is only found in Ecuador and Hawaii. D. is the result of a genetic condition.

How to Apologize to a Child
“We tell children, ‘Go apologize to your brother,’ but they can learn more by experiencing you apologizing to them,” says Jeremy Ruckstaetter, a professor of counseling at Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis, Mo. When Ruckstaetter started researching apologies in graduate school, he found perplexingly (34) ____ studies focusing on apologies from parents to children. For his doctoral dissertation, he surveyed 327 parents and found that those (35) ____ regularly apologized to their children reported stronger attachment bonds.
Apologizing is hard. “It can feel like death,” Ruckstaetter says. If you’ve hurt a child with your words or actions, don’t (36) ___ the resulting distress. Embrace guilt, a feeling that contains within it a (37) ____ of wrongdoing that can prompt prosocial behavior. “Move into your guilt and say, “I was wrong”, Ruckstaetter says. Notice if your response feels more like shame, which often results in withdrawal rather than apology. Shame might manifest as internal dialogue that says, “I’m bad,” or “I’m unworthy,” (38) ____ guilt tends to arise with more specificity: “I feel bad for saying those mean things.”

Smoking is one of the biggest causes of death and illness in the UK. Every year around 78,000 people in the UK die from smoking and many more live with smoking-related illnesses. It increases your risk of developing more than 50 serious health conditions. Some may be fatal, and others can cause irreversible long-term damage to your health. You can become ill if you smoke yourself or if people around you smoke (passive smoking). Smoking causes around 7 out of every 10 cases of lung cancer (70%). It also causes cancer in many other parts of the body, including the throat or voice box (larynx). Moreover, smoking damages your heart and your blood circulation, increasing your risk of developing conditions such as coronary heart disease and heart attack. Breathing in secondhand smoke, also known as passive smoking, increases your risk of getting the same health conditions as smokers. For example, if you have never smoked but you have a spouse who smokes, your risk of developing lung cancer increases by about a quarter. Babies and children are particularly vulnerable to the effects of secondhand smoke. A child who’s exposed to passive smoke is at increased risk of developing chest infection, meningitis, persistent cough and, if they have asthma, their symptoms will get worse.
(Adapted from www.nhs.uk)

A. Smoking is very harmful to health. B. Smoking is common in the UK.
C. Men smoke more than women. D. Secondhand smoke has bad effects on children.

Many stories about recovery from burnout - a type of chronic stress which leaves people physically and emotionally exhausted - are very similar: the affected person realizes the problem and starts to overhaul their lifestyle: in just a short period of time, they may quit their job, move to another country, or end a relationship. Then, they successfully recover. However, according to Stela Salminen, a doctoral candidate at the University of Jyvaskyla, Finland, this is not always the case.
Dramatic life changes might be beneficial for some people, but in her own research Salminen has found one factor which truly unites those who recover: realising that they are in control. For a small study in 2015, she interviewed 12 burnout sufferers. Researchers assessed participants to determine the severity of their burnout at the time of the study and seven months later. Their scores were then compared to what they said to look for patterns. The analysis revealed that those who recovered successfully experienced a revelation that they are in charge of their own wellbeing.
Salminen explains that if burnout sufferers believe that they can influence their environment, they usually take the necessary steps to reverse the factors which got them there in the first place. This might include things like improving sleep habits, since this is one of the best ways to reset when you're stressed, or drawing clear lines between work and non-work time. "People who have a sense of agency take steps in the workplace, make changes in their families; they take care of themselves, and they're more aware of their own limitations," she says.
One way to achieve this feeling of self-control is to attend slightly scary sounding "burnout rehabilitation programmes". These can come in many different forms - such as luxury retreats and basic online courses - but broadly they involve some kind of cognitive therapy to help people re-frame their experiences in a more productive way. Another is to gain control of another aspect of your life, such as by taking up a creative hobby or exercising more often. The late famous painting instructor Bob Ross often emphasised this, advising viewers that "If you don’t like it, change it. It’s your world."
Another important predictor of recovery from burnout is a healthy life. "Family relationships, one's overall health - these tend to influence people who have gone through burnout and are on the path to recovery," says Salminen. "Finding emotional support seems to be the first step towards recovery," says Salminen. "It can come from many different places - occupational health care like a psychologist, it can be support from family members, or support from colleagues." By validating your experiences, these people can help to improve your motivation and how you see yourself, and regardless of what happens in your journey to recovery, this can only be good.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Throughout Asia, marriage behaviour and family life are changing. Young people are getting married later than previous generations. Couples have fewer children, and more married women are working outside the home. Such trends were first observed in Japan and more recently in South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore. Similar patterns are starting to emerge in other Asian countries. However, other aspects of family life in Asia are still quite different from the way family institutions have developed in the West. Fewer Asian couples live together outside marriage, and childbearing outside marriage is extremely rare. Marriage is generally viewed as a permanent arrangement, and divorce rates, although rising, are still quite low in most Asian societies. The traditional family structures of Southeast Asia are more varied. Among the large populations of Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, young couples typically establish their own independent households, or a man may move in with his wife's parents, at least for a while. At marriage, the husband's family often makes a gift to the family of the wife. Although most young couples establish a home of their own, the youngest daughter and her husband may stay with her parents to look after them in their old age and eventually inherit their property.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Kakenya Ntaiya is the oldest of eight children in her family, belonging to Kenya’s Maasai tribe. When Ntaiya was young, her father worked in a distant city, and the family was extremely poor. As the eldest, Ntaiya helped to feed and care for the younger children. She carried water, gathered firewood, cooked meals, and worked in the field. Like all the girls in her village, she was supposed to follow tradition and learn the skills to be a good Maasai wife.
Her father expected her to marry at age 13, as was the custom. However, Ntaiya didn’t feel the same way. She had a plan. And she was brave enough to make it work. With all the courage she could find in herself, she went to her father and said she would do what he wanted if he let her finish high school. Her father agreed. Ntaiya graduated from high school with top honors.
After graduation, Ntaiya decided she wanted to attend college - a university in the United States. By then, however, her father was sick and in a hospital. All the family money went to his care, so there was no money for Ntaiya.
Ntaiya met the village leaders. At first, they were angry with her for daring to do what even few boys dreamed about. She promised she would use her education to help the village. She promised to come back and build a school. One village leader saw her determination and agreed to help her. He gave her money, and she also received a scholarship to Randolph-Macon Women’s College in the United States. In 2004, Ntaiya received her bachelor’s degree. Later, she got a job at the United Nations. In 2011, she received her doctorate in education — all made possible by her courage and her will to succeed.
Ntaiya did not forget her promise to the village. She returned to Enoosaen and in 2009, she opened the first primary school for girls in her village, the Kakenya Center for Excellence. There the students have education and opportunities that Ntaiya had to fight so hard for. Girls that were once forced to marry at 13 are now dreaming of becoming doctors, lawyers, pilots, and business women.

There are over 3,000 species of mosquitoes in almost every country around the world, with roughly 200 species in the U.S. alone. Unfortunately, these flying pests can carry malaria, West Nile virus, dengue, yellow fever, Zika virus, and more. This danger to humans occurs when mosquitoes ingest the disease, carry it in their bloodstream and then transfer it to the next person they bite.It’s a common misconception that mosquitoes suck blood for food. Mosquitoes ingest blood to nourish their bodies so they can lay and hatch healthy eggs. Mosquitoes can lay 100 eggs at a time, so populations of this pest can get out of control quickly. When eliminating mosquitoes, it’s key to use multiple methods, to kill mosquitoes at every stage of the life cycle.
It’s also important to note that repelling and killing mosquitoes aren’t the same thing. Repelling mosquitoes will keep them away from you by making you less attractive to them. They’re attracted to the carbon dioxide from our breath and elements of our sweat. Mosquitoes are also attracted to standing water, laying eggs in areas such as birdbaths, damp potting soil, standing water in kitchens, puddles, and more.
Killing mosquitoes may seem like a tempting option, but it’s not always in our—or the environment’s - best interest. That’s because mosquitoes can become resistant to pesticides, making them harder to kill over time. Try natural methods first if your infestation is minor, or turn to the pros if you’re dealing with serious mosquito problems.

Food insecurity is often rooted in poverty and has long-term impacts on the ability of families, communities and countries to develop and prosper. Prolonged undernourishment stunts growth, slows cognitive development and increases susceptibility to illness.Today, more than 800 million people across the globe go to bed hungry every night, most of them smallholder farmers who depend on agriculture to make a living and feed their families. Despite an explosion in the growth of urban slums over the last decade, nearly 75 percent of poor people in developing countries live in rural areas. Growth in the agriculture sector - from farm to fork - has been shown to be at least twice as effective in reducing poverty as growth in other sectors.
Investing in these smallholder farmers - many of whom are women - and the food systems that nourish them is more important than ever. In order to feed a population expected to grow to 9 billion people by 2050, the world will have to double its current food production. Given scarcity of natural resources and other challenges, the world will need to be more efficient in how it meets this demand. To ensure that people have sufficient food, aligning short-term assistance with a long-term development strategy can help countries feed their own people.
By addressing acute need as well as the root causes of hunger, poverty and malnutrition, USAID is strengthening prosperity and security while demonstrating American generosity around the world. USAID’s programs draw on America’s strength in agriculture and bring benefits back to America as well. For example, USAID’s research investments have helped farmers abroad and in the United States protect their harvests from pests and disease.
The enactment of the Global Food Security Act of 2016 and the Global Food Security Reauthorization Act of 2018 solidified the U.S. Government’s continued, bipartisan commitment to reducing hunger, malnutrition and poverty around the world.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
You may already know that British people share their love for tea and the British Royal family. However, there are many things you have yet to learn about British culture, customs, and traditions.
Although British people have a reputation for acting cold towards others, surprisingly, they like kisses on the cheek as a form of greeting. When greeting a good friend or family member in the UK, you do not simply shake their hand. If you are not a close friend or family member, the physical touch is perceived as odd, and a handshake or a smile can go a long way.
Brits are very strict when it comes to being punctual. If you are late once in the UK, you will likely not be late again. The British consider being late disrespectful and rude, especially at private dinner parties or someone’s home. If you cannot arrive on time at some place or event, make sure you let the host know beforehand.
British people love to follow the rules, especially when it comes to waiting in a queue, whether at the supermarket or the cinema. Those who dare and jump the queue will most likely be called out. If you do jump the queue for whatever reason, be prepared to get yelled at or even kick you out of the queue altogether.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Global fresh water demand will outstrip supply by 40% by 2030, say experts. The world is facing an imminent water crisis, with demand expected to outstrip the supply of fresh water by 40% by the end of this decade, experts have said on the eve of a crucial UN water summit.
Governments must urgently stop subsidising the extraction and overuse of water through misdirected agricultural subsidies, and industries from mining to manufacturing must be made to overhaul their wasteful practices, according to a landmark report on the economics of water.
Nations must start to manage water as a global common good, because most countries are highly dependent on their neighbours for water supplies, and overuse, pollution and the climate crisis threaten water supplies globally, the report’s authors say.
Johan Rockstrom, a lead author of the report, told the Guardian the world’s neglect of water resources was leading to disaster. “The scientific evidence is that we have a water crisis. We are misusing water, polluting water, and changing the whole global hydrological cycle, through what we are doing to the climate. It’s a triple crisis.”
The report marks the first time the global water system has been scrutinised comprehensively and its value to countries – and the risks to their prosperity if water is neglected – laid out in clear terms. Like with the Stern review of the economics of the climate crisis in 2006 and the Dasgupta review of the economics of biodiversity in 2021, the report authors hope to highlight the crisis in a way that policymakers and economists can recognise.
Many governments still do not realise how interdependent they are when it comes to water, according to Rockstrom. Most countries depend for about half of their water supply on the evaporation of water from neighbouring countries – known as “green” water because it is held in soils and delivered from transpiration in forests and other ecosystems, when plants take up water from the soil and release vapour into the air from their leaves.
Question 44. Which of the following can be the best tittle for the passage?
A. The Overuse of Water in Agriculture and Industry

C. Measures to Manage Fresh Water
D. A Report on Water Crisis

A. By 2030, global fresh water supply will be greater than human demand by 40%.
B. Government should stop agricultural subsidies as soon as possible if water is overused.
C. It’s time nations considered water a global common good.
D. “Green” water is held in soils and delivered from transpiration in forests and other ecosystems
Question 48. According to paragraph 5, _______.
A. the risks to the prosperity of countries are insignificant if water is neglected
B. the report authors hope to force policymakers to prevent people from wasting water
C. the report marks the first time the global water system and its values are fully clarified
D. the aims of the report is different from that of two other reviews in 2006 and 2021.
Question 49. The word “take up” in paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to _______.

Question 50. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. To make a lot of money, you should not take a job with a low starting salary.
B. Agriculture is the sector that uses water most.
C. Many governments are unaware of their roles in water management.
