The Importance of Sleep
For about one third of your life, your eyes will be closed. You will not move very much. You will
breathe very slowly. You will be quiet. In other words, for about one third of your life, you will be asleep.
Why do we sleep so much? What is the purpose? Scientists do not have a complete answer. They
believe that sleep (24)________ your energy and helps your brain work better. If you do not sleep
enough, you cannot (25)_________on your work, and you feel tired all day. Without enough sleep, you
are also more likely to get sick.
Sleep is important for normal development. This means (26)________children need a lot of sleep in
order to grow up strong and healthy. During the first two weeks of life, babies sleep for about 16 hours
every day. This changes as they grow and need less sleep. Teenagers still need about 9 hours of sleep
every night, but (27)________ adults need less – only about 8 hours. After about the age of 70, they only
sleep for about 6 hours every night.
All animals need sleep, (28)_________there is great variation in how much they sleep. For example,

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 34 to 40.
Life expectancy refers to the average number of years a person can expect to live based on
demographic factors, primarily influenced by geography, genetics, lifestyle, and access to healthcare.
Over the past century, life expectancy has seen significant increases globally due to advancements in
medical technology, improvements in public health, and higher living standards. In the early 1900s, the
average life expectancy was around 50 years, but today, it has risen to over 70 years worldwide, with
some countries boasting averages of over 80 years.
Several factors contribute to variations in life expectancy among different populations. Healthcare
quality and accessibility are paramount; countries with advanced healthcare systems and universal
coverage tend to have higher life expectancies. For example, Japan and Switzerland are known for their
efficient healthcare systems and correspondingly high life expectancies. In contrast, countries with
limited healthcare resources often have lower life expectancies due to higher rates of infant mortality,
infectious diseases, and chronic health conditions.
Lifestyle choices also play a crucial role in determining life expectancy. Diet, exercise, smoking, and
alcohol consumption are significant factors. Populations that consume diets rich in fruits, vegetables, lean

6
proteins, and whole grains, such as the Mediterranean diet, often have higher life expectancies. Regular
physical activity and the avoidance of smoking and excessive alcohol consumption further contribute to
longer, healthier lives.
Social and economic factors are equally important. Education, income levels, and social support
networks influence life expectancy. Higher education levels are associated with better health literacy and
healthier lifestyle choices. Economic stability allows for better access to nutritious food, healthcare, and
safe living conditions. Additionally, strong social support networks, including family and community ties,
have been shown to reduce stress and contribute to overall well-being, thereby increasing life expectancy.
Genetics also play a role, albeit a less controllable one. Family history of certain diseases can
predispose individuals to shorter lifespans, though modern medicine has made significant strides in
managing hereditary conditions.
Environmental factors, such as clean air and water, also impact life expectancy. Regions with high
levels of pollution and limited access to clean water tend to have lower life expectancies due to the
increased risk of respiratory and waterborne diseases.

Question 38: According to the passage, why do countries with advanced healthcare systems tend to
have higher life expectancies?
A. They have access to more nutritious and balanced food options.
B. They experience lower rates of smoking among the population.
C. They engage in higher rates of regular physical activity and exercise.

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 34 to 40.
Sleep is a vital component of overall health and well-being, but not everyone requires the same
amount of sleep. People generally fall into two categories: long sleepers and short sleepers. Long sleepers
typically need around 9-10 hours of sleep per night to feel fully rested, while short sleepers function well
on 5-6 hours of sleep.
Long sleepers are individuals who naturally require more sleep than the average person. They often
feel the need for 9-10 hours of sleep each night to maintain optimal functioning. This need for extended
rest can be due to a variety of factors, including genetic predisposition, lifestyle, and overall health. Long
sleepers tend to have a slower sleep cycle, which means they spend more time in deep sleep stages,
crucial for physical and mental restoration.
In contrast, short sleepers thrive on significantly less sleep. They typically require only 5-6 hours per
night and wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day. Short sleepers often have a more
efficient sleep cycle, spending less time in deep sleep stages but still managing to get sufficient rest. This
efficiency allows them to function at high levels of productivity and alertness with less sleep. Some short
sleepers attribute their ability to thrive on less sleep to genetic factors or a naturally higher level of energy
and resilience. However, it is essential to note that not everyone can adopt a short sleeper lifestyle without
experiencing negative effects on health and performance.
The amount of sleep one gets significantly impacts daily life and overall health. Long sleepers often
find it easier to focus, maintain emotional balance, and perform physical tasks when they have had
enough rest. They might struggle with schedules that do not allow for their required amount of sleep,
leading to fatigue and decreased productivity. On the other hand, short sleepers can benefit from having
more waking hours to engage in activities and responsibilities. Their ability to function well on limited
sleep can be advantageous in demanding careers or busy lifestyles.
Both long and short sleepers must pay attention to their sleep quality and overall health.

In today's digital age, the question of whether parents should limit screen time for children has become
a significant topic of discussion. There are compelling arguments on both sides. On one hand, excessive
screen time has been linked to various health issues. It can lead to a sedentary lifestyle, contributing to
obesity and poor posture. Additionally, exposure to screens, especially before bedtime, can disrupt sleep
patterns due to the blue light emitted by electronic devices. Poor sleep can adversely affect a child's
mood, memory, and learning abilities. Thus, limiting screen time can help promote better physical health
and sleep hygiene.
Mental health and social skills are also areas of concern. Excessive screen time, particularly on social
media platforms, has been associated with increased levels of anxiety and depression in children. The
constant comparison with peers can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. Moreover,
spending too much time on screens can hinder the development of essential social skills, as face-to-face
interactions are crucial for learning effective communication and empathy. By setting screen time limits,
parents can encourage their children to engage more in interpersonal activities, which fosters healthy
social development and reduces the risk of mental health issues.
Technology offers numerous benefits when used appropriately. It provides educational resources,
interactive lessons, and opportunities to develop essential digital skills that are crucial in today's world.
Rather than imposing strict limits, parents can focus on guiding their children towards high-quality
content and promoting a balanced approach to screen time. This involves integrating physical activities,
social interactions, and academic pursuits into their daily routines. By maintaining open communication
and understanding their children's needs, parents can help them develop a healthy relationship with
technology, ensuring that screen time is both productive and beneficial. Reference: Avosmart

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 34 to 40.
Over the past two centuries differen generations were born and given different names. Among these,
Generations X, Y, and Z stand out, each characterized by specific experiences, values, and perspectives.
Generation X, born between the mid-1960s and early 1980s, grew up during a period of significant
social and economic change. They witnessed the transition from analog to digital technology and often
had to adapt quickly to the advent of the internet and mobile phones. Known for their independence,
resilience, and pragmatic approach to life, Gen Xers are often seen as the bridge between the more
traditional Baby Boomers and the tech-savvy Millennials. They value work-life balance and tend to be
skeptical of authority, having grown up during a time of political upheaval and corporate downsizing.
Generation Y, or Millennials, born between the early 1980s and mid-1990s to early 2000s, came of age
during the rise of the internet and social media. This generation is often characterized by its comfort with
digital technology and its propensity for social and environmental activism. Millennials value purpose
and meaning in their work and personal lives, often prioritizing experiences over material possessions.
They are also known for their collaborative spirit and desire for immediate feedback, influenced by the
rapid pace of technological advancements and the pervasive presence of social media.
Generation Z, born from the mid-1990s to early 2010s, is the first generation to grow up in a fully
digital world. This generation is highly connected, with smartphones and social media being integral
parts of their daily lives from a young age. Gen Z is marked by its entrepreneurial spirit, strong social
consciousness, and desire for authenticity. They are pragmatic, financially minded, and highly adaptive to
new technologies. Growing up amid economic uncertainty and global challenges such as climate change,
they tend to be more cautious and pragmatic than their Millennial predecessors.
Despite the differences, these generations share common ground in their adaptability and drive for
positive change. Generation X's experience and resilience, combined with Generation Y's innovative and
collaborative approach, and Generation Z's digital fluency and social consciousness, create a dynamic
interplay that can drive society forward. For organizations and communities, understanding these
generational traits is vital for creating inclusive environments that leverage the strengths of each group.

In my family, extreme viewpoints are easy to find, making for lively conversations and debates at
gatherings. My brother and my father, in particular, often assume opposite stances. My brother, an artistic
Jazz Studies major, contrasts sharply with my pragmatic, scientifically-minded father.
Their taste in music highlights their differences. My brother loves soulful music, while my father,
lacking musical talent, prefers "muzak." This clash is most evident during long car trips, where
compromises between Mantovani and other music are often necessary, though my father, who usually
controls the car, often prevails. Another humorous difference is their hairstyles. My brother sports long
hair, while my father prefers it short, reminiscent of his conservative upbringing in a small West Virginia
mining town during the fifties. This difference symbolizes the broader contrast in their opinions.
Growing up in the fifties, my father sought a different life from his coal miner father. Excelling in
math and science, he earned a Ph.D in physics to ensure a better standard of living for his family. My
brother, however, grew up in a more open era, exposed to diverse opinions and encouraged to pursue his
passion for music despite also being talented in math and science.
17
 Despite their differences, my father and brother get along well, appreciating each other's viewpoints.
They share interests like fishing and car repairs and enjoy spirited discussions. Their dynamic shows that
differences can coexist harmoniously, making life—and long car rides—more interesting.

correct answer to each of the questions from 34 to 40.
In today’s society, the concepts of nuclear and extended families play a crucial role in shaping the
social and cultural dynamics of communities. Both family structures have their unique characteristics,
advantages, and challenges, influencing how individuals experience family life and social interactions.
A nuclear family, often referred to as an immediate family, typically consists of two parents and their
children living together in a single household. This family structure is common in Western societies and is
often associated with modern, urban lifestyles. The primary advantage of a nuclear family is the close-
knit bond it fosters among its members. Parents can provide focused attention and resources to their
children, helping them develop a strong sense of independence and self-reliance. In a nuclear family,
decision-making tends to be more straightforward, with fewer individuals involved. This can lead to
quicker resolutions of conflicts and a more cohesive family unit. Additionally, nuclear families often have
greater mobility, allowing them to relocate easily for work or other opportunities. However, the nuclear
family structure can also present challenges. The lack of extended support can place significant pressure
on parents to fulfill all caregiving and financial responsibilities, potentially leading to stress and burnout.
An extended family includes not only the immediate family members but also relatives such as
grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. This family structure is prevalent in many cultures around the
world, particularly in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Extended families often live in close proximity or
even under the same roof, creating a strong support network. One of the main advantages of an extended
family is the shared responsibilities among family members. Childcare, household chores, and financial
burdens can be distributed more evenly, reducing stress on any single individual. Moreover, children in
extended families benefit from the diverse perspectives and wisdom of multiple adults, fostering a rich
cultural and educational environment. However, extended families can also face challenges. The larger
number of family members can lead to more frequent conflicts and disagreements, particularly regarding
decision-making and resource allocation. Additionally, maintaining privacy and personal space can be
difficult in a crowded household.

18
 Both nuclear and extended families offer distinct advantages and face unique challenges. The nuclear
family promotes close bonds and independence but may lack sufficient support during times of need. On
the other hand, the extended family provides a robust support system and diverse cultural experiences but
can struggle with conflicts and privacy issues. Understanding these differences is essential for
appreciating the various ways families contribute to the social fabric of society. Regardless of the
structure, the fundamental importance of family remains a cornerstone of human life, providing love,
support, and a sense of belonging.

In every family, rules play a crucial role in establishing a sense of order and harmony. These rules,
often unwritten, guide the behavior and interactions of family members, creating an environment where
everyone feels respected and valued. A well-structured set of family rules helps in managing expectations
and responsibilities, ensuring that each member knows their role within the household. By fostering clear
communication and understanding, these rules prevent misunderstandings and conflicts, making the home
a peaceful and nurturing place.
Family rules are not just about maintaining order but also about teaching values and life skills. For
children, adhering to family rules instills discipline, respect for others, and the importance of cooperation.
Simple rules such as cleaning up after oneself, sharing chores, and respecting each other's privacy can
have profound effects on a child's development. They learn the significance of teamwork, responsibility,
and empathy, which are essential qualities for their future interactions outside the family unit. Moreover,
when parents lead by example, following the same rules they set for their children, it reinforces the
lessons and builds a strong foundation of trust and mutual respect.
Finally, family rules need to be flexible and adaptable to changing circumstances. As children grow
and family dynamics evolve, it’s essential to revisit and revise these rules to ensure they remain relevant
and effective. Open family discussions about the rules can provide valuable insights and allow every
member to voice their opinions and concerns. This process not only strengthens family bonds but also
promotes a sense of belonging and ownership among all members. In conclusion, family rules are vital
for creating a harmonious home, teaching valuable life skills, and adapting to the evolving needs of the
family.

 The generation gap, characterized by differences in opinions, values, and behaviors between younger
and older generations, is a prevalent issue in today's rapidly changing society. This divide often leads to
misunderstandings, conflicts, and a lack of cohesion within families and communities. However, by
implementing effective solutions, we can bridge this gap and foster mutual understanding and respect
between generations. Four key solutions to address the generation gap include promoting open
communication, encouraging intergenerational activities, leveraging technology for connection, and
fostering mutual respect and empathy.
Promoting open communication is crucial in bridging the generation gap. Encouraging dialogue
between generations helps to dispel misunderstandings and allows individuals to share their perspectives
and experiences. Family meetings, community forums, and educational workshops can provide platforms
for open discussions. By listening actively and speaking openly, both younger and older generations can
gain insights into each other's viewpoints, fostering a sense of understanding and acceptance.
Encouraging intergenerational activities can significantly reduce the generation gap. Shared activities
such as community service projects, hobby groups, and cultural events provide opportunities for different
generations to interact and collaborate. These activities help to break down stereotypes and build bonds
based on common interests and shared goals. For example, gardening projects, cooking classes, and
storytelling sessions can bring together people of different ages, promoting cooperation and mutual
appreciation.
Leveraging technology can be a powerful tool in bridging the generation gap. While technology is
often seen as a dividing factor, it can also serve as a means of connection. Teaching older adults to use
social media, video calls, and other digital tools can help them stay connected with younger family
members and friends. Conversely, younger generations can learn from the experiences and wisdom shared
by older adults online. By embracing technology together, both generations can bridge the gap and
maintain stronger relationships.
Fostering mutual respect and empathy is essential in addressing the generation gap. Recognizing and
valuing the contributions and perspectives of each generation can create a more inclusive and harmonious
society. Educational programs that emphasize empathy, respect, and cultural competence can help
individuals appreciate the diverse experiences and viewpoints of others. By nurturing a culture of respect
and empathy, we can create an environment where all generations feel valued and understood.
Bridging the generation gap requires a multifaceted approach that includes promoting open
communication, encouraging intergenerational activities, leveraging technology, and fostering mutual
respect and empathy. By implementing these solutions, we can create a more connected and harmonious
society where individuals of all ages can thrive together. The generation gap, while challenging, can be an
opportunity for growth and learning, leading to a more inclusive and cohesive community.

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 29 to 33.
While smart cities offer numerous benefits to city dwellers, they also present several challenges that
must be carefully considered.
One of the most pressing issues in a smart city is the secure management of sensitive information. To
make informed decisions, a variety of data—ranging from energy consumption to personal details like
CCTV footage—must be collected. However, this raises concerns about data security and privacy. The
local government must ensure that this information is handled with the highest level of security and is
resilient against cyber attacks. Additionally, the collection and use of personal data by authorities can lead
to increased social control, which poses significant privacy concerns.
Many companies in the smart city sector are relatively new, with business models that have not yet
been fully tested or proven profitable. Despite significant investment from cities, these companies need to
establish sustainable business practices to ensure long-term viability. Furthermore, the operation of smart
cities requires a workforce equipped with specialized skills, which are currently in short supply. To
address this gap, cities need to invest in training and educational programs to prepare workers,
government officials, and citizens for the demands of a smart city.
Transforming an urban area into a smart city requires substantial investment. Buildings need to be
renovated or fitted with IoT sensors and high-speed internet connections, and public transport and
infrastructure must be upgraded with smart technology. These improvements come with high costs, and
cities must carefully evaluate what is necessary to achieve the desired transformation.

correct answer to each of the questions from 34 to 40.
Singapore is one of the world's leading smart cities. It uses advanced technology to make life easier and
better for its people. For example, Singapore has a smart transportation system. The buses and trains are
connected to the internet, so people can check the schedules in real time on their phones. This helps them
know exactly when the next bus or train is coming, making travel more convenient. In addition, the city
also focuses on saving energy. Many buildings in Singapore have smart systems that control lights and air
conditioning. These systems only use energy when it is needed, which helps to save electricity and reduce
costs. Singapore is also working on being a green city by planting more trees and using more solar power.
Safety is another important part of Singapore's smart city plan. The government always uses cameras and
sensors to monitor the streets. This helps to keep the city safe and allows the police to respond quickly to
any problems. People in Singapore feel more secure knowing that the city is always watching out for
them. In short, in Singapore, technology is used to improve daily life in many ways. The city’s goal is to
become even smarter in the future by continuing to develop and use new technologies. Singapore shows
how a smart city can use technology to create a better environment for everyone who lives there.

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 29 to 33.
Vietnam has been an active member of ASEAN for 25 years, playing an important role in regional
integration. This experience has helped Vietnam improve its internal systems and train skilled workers to
meet the needs of international cooperation. ASEAN has also become a closer community as it aims for
the 2025 Community Vision. Together, member countries, including Vietnam, share common goals like
maintaining peace, enhancing connections, and ensuring security for development.
However, there are challenges ahead. Economically, differences in development levels and
competition from other countries make it harder for Vietnam. Many of its exports are still raw materials,
and the country struggles with low competitiveness and infrastructure issues. Politically, tensions between
major countries, especially the US and China, create divisions among ASEAN nations, making it difficult
to reach consensus on important issues.
Non-traditional security challenges, such as climate change and pandemics like COVID-19, also pose
threats to each country's stability. These issues require governments to focus resources on solving
problems, which may reduce interest in regional cooperation.
To tackle these challenges and seize new opportunities, Vietnam needs to adapt its strategies and
improve its understanding of ASEAN's role in international relations. Recognizing the importance of
ASEAN cooperation will help Vietnam invest wisely and actively participate in building a stronger
community.

 From melting arctic ice caps to forest fires, global warming is heating up the planet and damaging the
Earth's ecosystems. Global warming is the rise of the Earth's temperatures caused by an increase of CO2
and other greenhouse gas emissions. Global warming has increased very much in the past 100 years
because people are using more and more electricity and driving more cars. We are also cutting down more
trees that clean the air.
Scientists have been studying the effects of global warming on different ecosystems for a long time
and what they have found is quite worrying. The rising temperatures have caused many problems in
ecosystems. Arctic ice is melting, causing sea levels to rise and floods in seaside areas. As a result,
animals and plants are losing their homes. As oceans and rivers become warmer, the water temperatures
keep changing. Some marine animals cannot live in these new conditions. Since the 1970s, populations of
fish in lakes and rivers have decreased by 76 percent.
Global warming is also causing extreme weather events. Other ecosystems, like deserts and grasslands,
are experiencing terrible droughts and certain wildlife and plant species that depend on water are dying.
Due to the high temperatures, wildfires are destroying whole ecosystems such as forests. There has been a
serious rise in endangered species in recent years that could result in many animals becoming extinct. The
loss of plants and animals causes problems for all living things in an ecosystem. We need to take action to
stop global warming and save the Earth's ecosystems before it's too late.

34 to 40.
Global warming may seem like a distant threat, but it affects our daily lives in surprising ways. While
many are aware of the melting polar ice caps and rising sea levels, fewer people realize how global
warming is influencing their immediate surroundings and lifestyle choices.
One of the first impacts of global warming is on weather patterns. In recent years, summers have
become hotter, with record-breaking temperatures being reported around the world. This increase in heat
isn’t just uncomfortable; it’s dangerous. Extreme heatwaves are more frequent and intense, leading to
higher cases of heat-related illnesses and dehydration. People now have to adapt by installing air
conditioning, increasing their energy use and, ironically, contributing further to global warming.
In addition to weather changes, global warming is influencing the food we eat. Warmer temperatures
affect crop yields, with many staple crops like wheat and rice experiencing reduced production due to
unpredictable weather conditions. As a result, food prices rise, and food security becomes a pressing
issue. Farmers are being forced to use more water and chemicals to protect their crops, which has
additional environmental consequences.
Global warming also impacts wildlife, even in urban areas. Rising temperatures and habitat loss force
animals to move, often bringing them into human spaces. For instance, as forests dry up, animals like
bears and deer wander into towns in search of food and water, creating unexpected encounters between
humans and wildlife.
Ultimately, global warming is much closer to home than we might think. From the food on our plates
to the wildlife in our neighborhoods, the effects of global warming are real and require immediate action.
Each of us has a role in mitigating these changes, whether by reducing energy consumption, supporting
sustainable farming, or spreading awareness of the everyday impacts of climate change.

 Climate change is having a significant impact on agriculture, affecting both crop
yields and farming practices around the world. Rising temperatures and
unpredictable weather patterns are making it difficult for farmers to grow crops.
Crops like wheat, rice, and corn are especially vulnerable to extreme heat and
drought, which reduces their productivity.
Additionally, climate change is causing more frequent and severe storms. Heavy
rains and flooding can damage crops and soil, making it harder for farmers to
maintain their land. In coastal areas, rising sea levels are leading to saltwater
intrusion into farmland, which makes the soil too salty for most crops to grow.
To adapt to these changes, farmers are beginning to use more resilient crop
varieties and modern irrigation techniques. However, these solutions can be costly
and are not accessible to all farmers, especially in poorer regions. The impact of
climate change on agriculture doesn’t just affect farmers; it also leads to higher
food prices and potential food shortages, impacting communities worldwide.

answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from
34 to 40.
Global warming has had a profound impact on our planet’s oceans, affecting
everything from water temperatures to marine life. As the Earth’s atmosphere heats
up due to increased greenhouse gases, the oceans absorb much of this excess
heat. This leads to several significant and far-reaching consequences.
One of the most noticeable effects of global warming on the oceans is coral
bleaching. Corals are very sensitive to temperature changes, and even a small
increase can cause them to expel the algae living in their tissues, turning them
white. Without algae, corals lose their primary food source and eventually die. Coral
reefs are crucial ecosystems, providing habitat for thousands of marine species, so
their loss is a huge blow to biodiversity.
Another major impact of warming oceans is on marine animals’ migration
patterns. Many fish species are moving to cooler waters, which can disrupt
ecosystems and fishing industries that rely on them. Additionally, marine animals
like sea turtles and seabirds depend on specific temperatures to reproduce

51
successfully. With changing temperatures, these species face challenges in
breeding, which threatens their populations.
Rising ocean temperatures also contribute to the melting of polar ice caps, which
in turn leads to rising sea levels. This threatens coastal communities worldwide,
increasing the risk of flooding and erosion. As sea levels continue to rise, millions of
people living in coastal areas may have to relocate.
Global warming’s impact on the oceans is a clear reminder of how
interconnected our ecosystems are. Protecting our oceans requires urgent action to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help mitigate the ongoing damage to
marine life and coastal communities.

Question 35: The word "absorb" in the passage is closest in meaning to ______.
A. release B. consume C. avoid D. attract
Question 36: According to the passage, why is coral bleaching harmful to marine
ecosystems?
A. Corals can no longer attract fish species
B. Corals lose their main food source and eventually die
C. Corals attract harmful algae to their tissues
D. Corals change colors, which harms biodiversity
Question 37: The word "their" in the passage refers to ______.
A. effects B. tissues C. changes D. corals
Question 38: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an effect of warming
oceans in the passage?
A. Disruption of fish migration patterns B. Increase in coastal flooding and
erosion
