Read the following passage about endangered languages and mark the letter A, B, C, D on
your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
Living in the stressful modern era, most of us usually look for sources of relaxation, and it's
no secret that viewing nature and being outdoors can be pleasant and restorative. Spending time in
nature is linked to improvements in mental health, mood, emotional well – being, and cognitive
benefits. However, the more surprising thing is that, according to new research, viewing water may
be a better environment for relaxation than green areas with grass and trees.
In a recent article, Harvard psychologist Adam Grant discussed a remarkable 2024 study that
he came across, showing that people who viewed water for less than two minutes had reduced
blood pressure compared to people who viewied green areas and trees.
So why are nature's blue spaces more relaxing than green ones? According to the original
authors of the study, the reason might be related to the process of our evolution. For early humans
who have to work hard to survive day by day, the lack of water has always been a major challenge,
as it posed a direct threat to life, leading to heightened levels of stress, increases in blood pressure
and cardiac stress. Therefore, successfully detecting water or simply just looking at it can provide a
sense of great relief.
Being in nature can help you re – invigorate your body, mind, and spirit, offering
moments of awe, calm, and relaxation. And now we are learning that bodies of water may
bring even greater relaxation. So, whether it's a river, lake, or ocean, it might be time to go
outside and find the nearest blue space to experience the effects for yourself!

Read the following passage about urban shift and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer
sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
Six months after the UN officially recognized the human right to a healthy environment, a
report by UN Special Rapporteur David Boyd underscores the harsh reality that this right remains
inaccessible to many, particularly the most vulnerable populations worldwide. Boyd's report
identifies “sacrifice zones,” regions where pollution from industrial activities has rendered the air,
water, and soil toxic, exposing local communities to severe health risks like cancer, lead poisoning,
and respiratory diseases.
Globally, there are thousands of such zones. For instance, Bor, Serbia, ranks among Europe's
most polluted cities due to its copper mining and smelting industries, leaving 80% of its
metallurgical workers with chronic illnesses. In La Oroya, Peru, nearly all children living near a
lead smelter show dangerously high blood lead levels. Similarly, in the oil-contaminated Niger
Delta of Nigeria, life expectancy hovers around just 40 years. These regions reflect the dire costs of
prioritizing industrial progress over environmental health.
Boyd's findings emphasize the role of corporate practices in exacerbating these crises. [I]
Major polluters, including leading fossil fuel companies, continue profiting massively while
contributing to pollution and climate change. [II] During the energy crisis in 2022, six such
corporations amassed $350 billion in profits. [III] Simultaneously, lobbying and greenwashing
tactics hinder the enactment of strict environmental laws, enabling the persistence of these toxic
zones. [IV]
Governments also bear responsibility for failing to counteract these influences.
Corporate lobbying and the absence of enforceable environmental regulations perpetuate these
issues, as evidenced by recent climate negotiations that yielded weak commitments. Boyd advocates
for bold action, including legally binding frameworks to hold corporations accountable,
criminalizing greenwashing, and reducing corporate influence in policymaking. Such measures are
critical for turning the human right to a healthy environment from principle to practice, safeguarding
both people and the planet

Read the following passage about urban shift and mark the letter A, B, C, D on your answer
sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
Six months after the UN officially recognized the human right to a healthy environment, a
report by UN Special Rapporteur David Boyd underscores the harsh reality that this right remains
inaccessible to many, particularly the most vulnerable populations worldwide. Boyd's report
identifies “sacrifice zones,” regions where pollution from industrial activities has rendered the air,
water, and soil toxic, exposing local communities to severe health risks like cancer, lead poisoning,
and respiratory diseases.
Globally, there are thousands of such zones. For instance, Bor, Serbia, ranks among Europe's
most polluted cities due to its copper mining and smelting industries, leaving 80% of its
metallurgical workers with chronic illnesses. In La Oroya, Peru, nearly all children living near a
lead smelter show dangerously high blood lead levels. Similarly, in the oil-contaminated Niger
Delta of Nigeria, life expectancy hovers around just 40 years. These regions reflect the dire costs of
prioritizing industrial progress over environmental health.
Boyd's findings emphasize the role of corporate practices in exacerbating these crises. [I]
Major polluters, including leading fossil fuel companies, continue profiting massively while
contributing to pollution and climate change. [II] During the energy crisis in 2022, six such
corporations amassed $350 billion in profits. [III] Simultaneously, lobbying and greenwashing
tactics hinder the enactment of strict environmental laws, enabling the persistence of these toxic
zones. [IV]
Governments also bear responsibility for failing to counteract these influences.
Corporate lobbying and the absence of enforceable environmental regulations perpetuate these
issues, as evidenced by recent climate negotiations that yielded weak commitments. Boyd advocates
for bold action, including legally binding frameworks to hold corporations accountable,
criminalizing greenwashing, and reducing corporate influence in policymaking. Such measures are
critical for turning the human right to a healthy environment from principle to practice, safeguarding
both people and the planet
