Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to
each of the following questions from 23 to 30.
Hygiene has played a vital role in human civilization throughout history. Ancient civilizations, such as the
Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, were among the first to recognize the importance of cleanliness for health. They
practiced bathing and used natural oils to maintain personal hygiene. The Romans even built elaborate public
bathhouses, which became social centers for relaxation and sanitation. These early efforts showed an
understanding that hygiene was linked to overall well-being.
During the Middle Ages, however, attitudes towards hygiene changed significantly. The spread of diseases like
the Black Death led people to believe that bathing could make them more vulnerable to infections. As a result,
frequent bathing became rare, and cleanliness was not prioritized. Many people relied on strong perfumes to cover
body odor, while poor waste management in cities created unsanitary conditions. This lack of hygiene contributed
to widespread illness and high mortality rates.
The 19th century marked a turning point in the understanding of hygiene with the rise of scientific discoveries.
Pioneers like Louis Pasteur and Joseph Lister demonstrated the link between germs and diseases, leading to
improved medical practices and public health measures. The introduction of handwashing and sterilization in
hospitals greatly reduced infection rates. Public awareness campaigns and government regulations began to
promote better hygiene in everyday life.
Today, hygiene remains a crucial aspect of public health and daily routines. Advancements in technology have
made access to clean water and sanitation facilities more widespread. People now understand the importance of
practices like handwashing, brushing teeth, and proper waste disposal. The history of hygiene reflects humanity's
ongoing efforts to protect health and prevent disease, proving its significance across time.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to
each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
[I] Stress has become a significant problem for many students in today's educational environment. [II] Many
students feel stressed because of heavy workloads, tough exams, and the high expectations set by parents and
teachers. [III] This stress can impact both their mental and physical health, making it challenging to concentrate
and perform well academically. [IV]
One of the primary causes of stress at school is the intense pressure to succeed. Students are frequently expected
to excel in all subjects, participate in extracurricular activities, and complete assignments on time. The fear that
they might fail or not meet expectations can lead to self-doubt and anxiety. Moreover, the competition for top
grades and college admissions has increased, adding even more pressure. This kind of stress can cause students to
feel overwhelmed, especially when they struggle to balance their studies with other aspects of their lives.
Another contributing factor to school stress is social pressure. Many students face challenges such as bullying,
peer pressure, or the need to fit in with their classmates. These social issues can make school a stressful place,
causing students to feel isolated or excluded. Additionally, the widespread use of social media has created new
sources of stress, as students often compare their lives to the seemingly perfect lives of others online. This
comparison can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem, further increasing their stress levels.
There are several effective ways to help students manage stress at school. Providing access to mental health
resources, such as counseling services, can offer students a safe space to express their concerns. Schools can
also organize stress management workshops that teach relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing and
meditation.
Encouraging students to practice good time management and get enough sleep can improve their ability to handle
stress. Finally, support from teachers and parents, who emphasize the importance of effort over perfection, can
make a significant difference in reducing stress.
