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
gross into a w’or1dwide mom ement. 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 has’e equal chances as men. the reality often tells a different
stor . Girls worldwi de face more household duties than boys and are more likely to miss out on school.
In many countries, equal education for both tenders 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 w’ith 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.

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.

Broadcasting, perhaps the greatest invention of the last century, has come a long way; and the BBC is one of
the most important and trusted broadcasters in the world today.
The British Broadcasting Company was established in 1922. Four years later, it changed its name to the
British Broadcasting Corporation, better known as the BBC. It was not the world's first radio station. There
had already been public radio broadcasts in Britain before 1920.

From the beginning the BBC was a public service radio, but also an independent operator. In the early days
of BBC radio, there was not a lot of news on the radio. There were music, drama, discussions and children's
programs; but news was not broadcast until after 7 p.m., to avoid competition with the newspapers!

In 1936 the BBC began the world's first television service. Only a few thousand people in London could
receive those first flickering images. Nevertheless, people liked what they saw, and as the number of
transmitters increased, more and more people went out to buy new television sets. In 1937, tennis was
broadcast from Wimbledon for the first time. Then in 1938, football's Cup Final could be seen, live, by
hundreds of thousands of people for the first time ever. Since 1946, the BBC has become one of Britain's
most famous institutions. Today it has several national television channels, lots of radio channels and a
growing number of international services.

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.
When people hear the word “city”, they usually imagine concrete, neon signs, and lots of air pollution.
Thanks to some clever and concerned architects, this image is starting to change. The concept of green cities
aims to bring some beauty from rural environments into urban areas. It is not only about looking better
though. Green cities are also trying to improve the efficiency of cities and raise the standard of living for
people who stay in them.
The term “green cities” refers to cities where builders take into account several environmental factors
before those cities are constructed or redesigned to be more physically appealing than traditional cities from
the past. In addition, the mobility of citizens should be considered, so public transportation can be more
convenient and travel time to work can be reduced. Energy sources should also be evaluated with the goal of
minimizing air pollution.
When it comes to going green, the city of Barcelona is far ahead of its time. Since 1859, its designers
have consciously tried to create sustainable urban designs. Then in 1992, the city received a well-deserved
makeover before hosting the Olympic Games. In recent years, Barcelona has upgraded its transportation
system. This has reduced air pollution and more workers are using public transportation instead of their own
vehicles. Barcelona also boasts one of the best recycling programs in the world. Visitors will find clear,
color –coded trash bins throughout the city where they can put all of their materials.
It is no secret in Portland, Oregon is one of the greenest cities in the US. Since 1903, it has been an
example of what American cities can accomplish with careful planning. Instead of filling its area with office
buildings, Portland has plenty of green space for activities. It has 119 kilometers of running, hiking, and bike
trails that allow citizens to experience the great outdoors. The city also offers residents creative energy plans
that give them the opportunity to pay a bit extra for clean energy sources. For about $3 to $9 extra each
month, homeowners can choose solar or wind power and help the environment.
These are only a small sample of the green cities around the world. As more people experience the
pleasure of visiting green cities, it seems certain that the trend of urban areas going green will continue far
into the future.
