The local environment affects our health, quality of life, and the sustainability of the planet.
Clean air and water are essential for our health and the health of ecosystems. A well-maintained
environment contributes to beautiful landscapes and thriving wildlife, making our communities
more enjoyable places to live. Additionally, by caring for our local environment, we help combat
climate change and protect the planet's natural resources.
Despite its importance, our local environment faces various challenges. Pollution from factories,
vehicles, and improper waste disposal can harm the air, soil, and water. Deforestation and
urbanization can lead to loss of biodiversity and disruption of ecosystems. As communities grow,
the demand for resources can put a strain on the environment. However, there are steps we can
take to address these challenges and create a healthier local environment such as reducing,
reusing and recycling, using eco-friendly transportation, or simply planting trees and gardens.
Preserving our local environment is a shared responsibility. Every small action we take can have
a positive impact on our surroundings. By making conscious choices and adopting sustainable

A good deal of fascinating research has been done into reading patterns of young people ,
and it is surprising to discover at what an early age children start expressing preferences for
particular kinds of book. A recent report which examined in detail the reading habit of primary
school children, showed that even seven-year-old boys and girls have clear views about what
they want to read. Girls, in general, read more and far more girls than boys preferred reading
stories. Boys were showing a taste for the more instant appeal of picture stories, or else books
about their hobbies. These tastes continue unchanged until the children are teenagers.
Apparently, girls read more in general, but more fiction in particular. You could say that there
are more opportunities for girls to read fiction: magazines encourage the fiction habit in girls in
their early teens, and by their late teens they have probably moved on to the adult women’s
magazines. Teenage boys tend to buy magazines about their hobbies: motorcycles, heavy
transport and so on.

Three Things to Do in New York
There are so many things to see and do in New York, sometimes it is difficult to know
where to start. In this week’s guide, we look at three things you can’t miss when you visit the
city.
Start by spending some time in Central Park. With over 25,000 trees and lots of different
types of birds, it’s easy to forget you’re in a big city. Relax and enjoy the fresh air or go for a
tour in a horse and carriage. In summer you can go out on the lake in a boat or kayak, and in
winter you can go ice-skating. After all those activities you’ll be hungry, so have lunch at the
famous Tavern on the Green. Great concerts take place in Central Park, too. Every year the New
York Philharmonic Orchestra gives a free open-air concert and there’s also the New York
Shakespeare Festival at the theatre in the park.
They say that Paris has the Eiffel Tower, London has the London Eye and New York has
the Empire State Building. But many people think the best views of the city are from the ‘Top of
the Rock’ - the top floor of the GE (General Electric) building, a skyscraper in the middle of the
city. At 260 metres high, it’s the fourteenth tallest building in New York, and from the top you
can have a fantastic view of the city.
Many people visit the famous Statue of Liberty by ferry, but also on the way is the
Immigration Museum on Ellis island. This was the place where people first arrived from 1892 to
1954, many after a long and difficult journey from other countries. Most of the island is closed to
the general public, but you can visit the museum and find out about the many people who arrived
here. You can also go on a tour with a guide to visit some of the old, unused buildings on the
island. A very interesting day out for everyone.
29. Why is it ‘easy to forget you’re in a big city’ when you visit Central Park?
🡪 Because there are over 25,000 trees and lots of different types of birds in Central Park
30. What can you do in Central Park in winter?
🡪 We can go ice-skating
31. What is the GE building?
🡪 It’s the fourteenth tallest building in New York
32. How do you get to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty?
🡪 We can get to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty by ferry

The most fascinating change in societies in developing countries is undoubtedly the
significant rise in women’s participation in work and education. In these nations, an increasing
number of women are attending college, earning advanced degrees, and finding employment.
They are no longer content to be housewives who only stay at home. The socioeconomic
situation in these countries will be significantly impacted by this abrupt change.
The financial burden placed on the male 'breadwinners' in the family will decrease as more
women enter the workforce. However, they will also learn to share household duties and stop
acting as the household's dominant figures and decision-makers. Children will undoubtedly
benefit from this change. Their fathers will show them more love and attention. Because both
parents will be working, they will also become more independent.
As a result, the service industry will face challenges first. There will be an increase in
demand for after-school programs, tutoring, convenience foods, and housekeeping services.
People who are more educated and have more money to spend will demand better products and
higher living standards. Consequently, this will aid in the economic growth of the nations.
25. What can be the title of the passage?
A. The Changing Role of Women in Developing Countries
B. The Impact of Women's Work on the Family
C. Women's Education and Economic Growth
D. The Future of Women in Developed Countries

Clothing is more than just a practical necessity; it's a form of self-expression and cultural
identity. From the vibrant saris of India to the sleek business suits of Western countries, clothing
carries stories and traditions.
In my own life, I've found that what I wear can reflect my mood and personality. On
confident days, I might choose bold colors and statement pieces, while on quieter days, I opt for
cozy sweaters and muted tones. Each garment holds memories too - the concert tee that reminds
me of an unforgettable night, or the worn-out sneakers that have traveled the world with me.
Beyond personal expression, clothing plays a crucial role in society. It can signify occupation,
like a doctor's white coat or a chefs apron. It can also convey social norms and expectations, such
as the formal attire worn to weddings or the uniforms students don at school. Moreover, clothing
trends evolve with time, reflecting changes in culture, technology, and values.
However, the fashion industry's environmental impact has raised concerns. The fast-
paced cycle of trends contributes to waste and pollution. As a response, sustainable fashion
movements are gaining momentum, encouraging mindful consumption and eco-friendly
production.
25. The passage mainly discusses __________.
A. Clothing: More Than Just a Practical Necessity
B. The environmental impact of the fashion industry
C. Different types of traditional clothing from around the world
D. The evolution of clothing trends over time
26. According to the text, movements for sustainable fashion are __________.
A. dwindling B. disappearing C. picking up steam D. unchanged
27. What does the word "worn-out" used in the second paragraph mean?
A. dirty and need to be washed.
B. comfortable, well-worn or in good condition.
C. too small and needs to be replaced.
D. shabby, no longer new or in good condition.
28. All the following sentences are the purposes of clothing except __________.

Ten-day Chinese Traffic Jam (24th August, 2010)
Motorists in China are experiencing a traffic jam from hell. Thousands of drivers have been
stuck in their cars for ten days on the Beijing-Tibet Expressway just outside the Chinese capital.
The gridlock started on August 14th when roadworks began. The bad news is that the chaos will
continue for another month. The tailbacks stretch back for 100km. The situation has been made
worse by dozens of cars breaking down or overheating. Around 400 traffic police have been
assigned to patrol the jam to make sure tensions don’t rise too far. The horrendous snarl-up is the
result of the explosion in the number of cars on Chinese roads. As China becomes wealthier,
more people are buying cars, thus causing more traffic problems.
Drivers trapped in the traffic jam know they have to be patient and sit for long hours in their
cars. There are no showers for them to use and if they need to use a toilet, they have to lock their
car and wander off to the nearest café. There are many complaints of local people taking
advantage of the stranded motorists by charging them more than double prices for drinks and
snacks. People are keeping themselves busy by playing cards or board games. Some have
reported feeling homesick. One truck driver, Juang Shao expressed his frustration over the
situation: “I’ve missed my daughter’s birthday and the food in my truck has probably turned into
soup,” he said. He said he was worried his truck could be stuck in the traffic forever.
29. When did the traffic jam in China begin?
🡪 It began on August 14th, 2010
30. What caused traffic congestion on those days?
🡪 Roadworks
31. How many traffic police patrol the gridlock?

Traveling in the Future
These days, if you want to travel from New York to Beijing, the flight takes about 16 hours. You
also have to wait at the airport, and sometimes you have to transfer onto a different airplane. If
you add all of that extra time, the trip takes at least 20 hours. But in the future, the trip from New
York to Beijing might only take two hours.
Right now, a private company is developing something called ET3. ET3 stands for “evacuated
tube transport technology”. Here is how it works. A tube goes all the way from New York to
Beijing. The tube is only a few meters wide. Capsules move through the tube. Six people can sit
in one capsule. The capsules use electricity instead of gasoline. For international travel, the
capsules can travel at about 6,500 kilometers per hour. That is much faster than airplane — most
modern airplanes usually only fly at about 800 kilometers per hour.
So how is this possible? How can these capsules travel so fast? The answer is that there is no air
inside the tube. When airplanes fly, they have to move through the air. The air slows the
airplanes down. Because there is no air in the ET3 tubes, the capsules are able to move at a very
high speed. Besides, the capsules are quite light. They only weigh 183 kilograms.
There are other advantages to ET3. Because it uses electricity, it is quite clean. In addition, it is
much quieter than airplanes and cars. Finally, ET3 tubes and capsules don't require very much
building material.
Of course, ET3 doesn’t exist yet. The technology is still being developed. Developers still have
to solve a lot of problems. The biggest problem is that right now, ET3 would be far too
expensive. In order to make ET3 cheaper, we will need much better technology.
It is exciting to think of how ET3 will change travel in the future. Maybe someday, you will be
able to have lunch in New York and dinner in Beijing.
25. Which of the following is NOT true about travelling at present?
A. Modern planes fly at about 800 kilometers per hour.
B. We use mostly gasoline for transportation.
C. Flights make little noise thanks to modern technology.
D. Traveling takes place in the air.
26. Why is ET3 clean?
A. It is made of a clean kind of material.
B. It uses a cleaner kind of gasoline.
C. It doesn’t use gasoline or electricity.
D. It uses electricity.
27. The word “works” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _________.
A. travels B. operates C. earns money D. succeeds
28. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. There is still a lot to do before putting ET3 into operation.
B. All flights have to transfer at different cities.
C. ET3 will be used domestically.
D. Electricity used as a source of energy makes a capsule much quieter.

Customs are traditions, behaviors, and social practices that vary across different cultures. These
customs reflect a society’s values, history, and way of life. From greetings to table manners,
customs shape daily interactions and influence how people communicate and show respect.
Understanding cultural customs is important for travelers, as it helps them avoid
misunderstandings and show appreciation for local traditions.
One common custom that varies widely is greeting etiquette. In Japan, bowing is a sign of
respect, while in France, people often greet each other with a kiss on both cheeks. In some
Middle Eastern countries, a handshake accompanied by placing the right hand over the heart is a
warm gesture of welcome. Meanwhile, in Thailand, the traditional wai—a slight bow with hands
pressed together—is used to show politeness and respect.
Dining customs also differ significantly around the world. In China, it is customary to use
chopsticks, while in India, eating with the right hand is common. In Ethiopia, people often share
food from a single plate, symbolizing unity and friendship. In contrast, Western countries
typically use forks and knives, and table manners emphasize keeping elbows off the table and
chewing quietly. These customs reflect cultural attitudes toward food, community, and etiquette.
Gift-giving is another practice that holds special meaning in many cultures. In Japan, gifts are
often wrapped beautifully, as presentation is just as important as the gift itself. In some Latin
American countries, opening a gift immediately after receiving it is considered polite, while in
China, people may refuse a gift multiple times before accepting it to show humility. Such
traditions highlight the deep-rooted values of different societies and their approaches to
hospitality and generosity.
29. What do customs reflect in a society?
🡪 They reflect a society’s values, history, and way of life
30. Which greeting custom is mentioned for Japan?
🡪 Bowing
31. How do people in Ethiopia typically share their food?
🡪 They share food from a single plate
32. Why is understanding cultural customs important for travelers?
🡪 It helps them avoid misunderstandings and appreciate local traditions.

Some experts worry that teens are more anxious and have lower self-esteem because of social
media and texting. There are key differences to socializing online. Teens miss out on things like
body language and facial expressions. This can lead to misunderstandings and hurt feelings. It
can also make talking in person feel more intimidating.
It is also common for teens to feel bad about themselves when they see everyone online looking
perfect. Teens often try to compensate by sharing pictures that make them look perfect, too.
Then, when their social media identity doesn’t match how they actually feel, they can end up
feeling worse.
Parents can help by setting a good example of how to use tech. Try to give kids your full
attention when you are with them, and establish tech-free zones in the house and tech-free hours
when no one is on their phones. To help build self-esteem, get kids involved in something
they’re interested in. When kids learn to feel good about what they can do instead of how they
look and what they own, they’re happier.
