Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to in Jicate
the correct answer to each of the questions fram 29 to 33.
International Women's Day, celebrated on March 8th, is a time to honor women's progress
and advocate for real change towards gender equality. This day, rooted in a 1908 demonstration
where 15,000 women in New York City stood united for equal rights, better pay, shorter hours, and
voting rights, has grossed into a worldwide moment. Clara Zetkin, at a meeting in 1910, suggested a
special day each year to focus on women's rights, leading to the first International Women's Day in
1911.
Despite some beliefs that women have equal chances as men, the reality often tells a different
story. Girls worldwide face more household duties than boys and are more likely to miss out on
school. In many countries, equal education for both genders is not guaranteed, and many girls are
married off young, which can force them to end school early, lead to early pregnancy together with
other health issues, and increase the chance of domestic violence.
On International Women's Day, people participate in activities that raise awareness and call
for gender equality. Wearing purple, a color of women's rights history, is common. It is also a day
when women are celebrated with gifts and social recognition in some places.
The journey towards full gender equality continues to face challenges. Yet, women's groups
across the globe remain strong and active, w'ith younger women and teenagers adding their voices
and energy to the cause. They are organizing, speaking out, and urging a shift in how we view and
act towards each other regarding gender roles.

 Since the birth of the car in 1886, transport in big cities has changed a lot. It is no wonder
many experts think that there will be extraordinary changes in the next feu decades.
As technology dexelops, highways, skylines. subways will be all transformed. Smarter roadways
and higliways in cities outfitted with IoT sensors will process all kinds ot data in real time and
inform users of the best transport options. feather, crashes, traffic conditions w’ill be communicated
to users and smart stops will be found every where prox’iding renewable energy, green hj drogen or
even greener energy, ensuring efficiency and safety on every highw’ay. Tunnels will also be a smart
choice because of the reduction of traffic congestion. Underground roads will be built in 3D with a
lift system w'hich will take vehicles deep undergroutid and will allow traffic to attain the greatest
speed without intersections.
There will also be innovations in the sky. Air taxis are not a new idea, but in the future thev
will be completely environment-friendly. Aviation gasoline will be no longer used. Green energy
will be in place and cost-effective air taxis will enable people to travel from one busy urban city to
another in record time. New technologies such as AI and the rollout of 5G will pave the way for
fully autonomous innovation. Cars will not be the only thing to go autonomous. Freight trucks,
cargo vehicles, air taxis will all benefit from this technology and that is why the term ‘driver’ will
become extinct. Transport will go green. Electric or hydrogen power will be mainstream. There will
still be issues to sols’e such as safety, speed and cost, and taf course governments will need to make
new traffic lars.
