Sleep is very important for our health. Good sleep helps us live longer. Many doctors study how
sleep affects our life. (18) They also check if we wake up a lot during the night. If we sleep well,
our body can fix itself. Had people slept better in the past, (19), The way we sleep, which
changes as we get older, can tell doctors about our health. People (20), . They also have more heart
problems; moreover, they feel tired all day. Bad sleep makes our body weak; therefore, we cannot fight
illness well. Having analyzed data from over 50,000 participants across three continents, researchers
concluded that consistent, (21). They say we should sleep seven to eight hours each night. We
should also go to bed at the same time every day. Doctors tell us to turn off phones before bed. The light
from screens makes it hard to fall asleep. (22), When we follow these simple rules, we sleep
better. Good sleep helps our brain work well. It also helps our heart stay strong. Children need more sleep
than adults. Older people often sleep less at night. If we want to live longer, we must take care of our sleep.
Recent studies show that deep sleep is the most important kind. During deep sleep, our brain removes
harmful waste

Read the following passage about Anti-inflammatory Diets and Their Role in Chronic Disease
Prevention 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.
Chronic inflammation contributes to many health problems like heart disease, diabetes, and some
cancers. An anti-inflammatory diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats helps fight
inflammation. These diets include foods with antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids, while limiting processed
foods, refined sugars, and saturated fats. Studies show that these eating patterns may reduce inflammatory
markers and lower disease risk.
‘The Mediterranean diet is a good example of anti-inflammatory eating that has been well-studied. It
includes olive oil, nuts, fish, and many plant foods with anti-inflammatory properties. The DASH diet and
traditional Asian diets have similar benefits. People following these diets show lower levels of inflammatory
markers compared to th
se eating typical Western diets. Research indicates that the combination of various
nutrients working together provides greater benefits than individual supplements alone.
Adopting anti-inflammatory eating habits requires gradual changes, not strict diets. Experts suggest
starting with small steps, like adding more vegetables to meals or choosing nuts and fruits as snacks.
Drinking enough water and regular exercise enhance these benefits. People with health conditions should
talk to doctors before changing their diet. Meal planning and preparation can make the transition easier and
more sustainable for long-term success.
Anti-inflammatory diets offer protection against age-related diseases when followed long-term.
People in regions with these traditional diets have fewer chronic conditions and live longer. Diet is just one
part of health, though. Managing stress, getting enough sleep, and avoiding tobacco are also important. Asresearch advances, nutrition advice may become more personalized based on genetics and individual needs.
The growing field of nutrigenomics studies how food interacts with our genes.

A. Long-term dietary restrictions are necessary to reverse damage caused by age-related inflammatory
conditions.
B. Following anti-inflammatory eating pattems consistently over time may help prevent diseases associated
with aging.
C. Anti-inflammatory food regimens provide immediate benefits but require lifelong commitment to
maintain results.
D. Consuming specific nutrients for extended periods can cure most health problems that typically occur in
older age.

Read the following passage about the Stress Management Techniques and Their Impact on Cellular
Aging 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.Chronic stress has emerged as a significant factor in accelerating cellular aging, particularly through
its effects on telomeres—protective caps at the end of chromosomes that shorten with age. When individuals
are under the weather due to prolonged stress, their bodies produce excessive cortisol, which can damage
cellular structures and accelerate the aging process. Research has shown that people with high stress levels
often exhibit shorter telomere
Which is associated with various age-related diseases including
cardiovascular problems, diabetes, and cognitive decline
[1] Mindfulness meditation represents one of the most thoroughly researched stress reduction
approaches with documented benefits for cellular health. [II] This practice involves focusing one’s attention
on the present moment without judgment, which helps break the cycle of rumination that often characterizes
chronic stress. [III] A study found that participants who completed an eight-week mindfulness program.
showed significant increases in telomerase activity—an enzyme that helps rebuild telomeres. Physical
exercise constitutes another powerful intervention, with both aerobic and resistance training shown to boost
telomerase activity. [IV]
Sleep quality plays a crucial role in stress management and cellular repair processes. During deep
sleep phases, the body engages in essential maintenance activities, including DNA repair mechanisms that
help preserve telomere length. Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia has shown promise in improving
sleep quality. Dietary interventions also merit consideration, with Mediterranean and plant-based diets rich
in antioxidants appearing to support telomere preservation. These approaches work
synergistically —combining multiple stress management techniques typically yields more significant
benefits than any single method alone.
‘The implications of this research extend beyond individual health to public policy and
healthcare systems. As evidence accumulates regarding the cellular impact of chronic stress, medical
professionals increasingly recognize stress management as a legitimate clinical intervention rather than
merely a lifestyle choice. Workplace wellness programs that incorporate stress reduction techniques have
shown promising results in improving employee health markers. While more research is needed to fully
understand the relationship between stress management and cellular aging, the existing evidence suggests
that how we respond to life's challenges may significantly influence our biological aging trajectory.
Question 31: The phrase “under the weather” in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by
A. stressed out B. burned out C. worn down, broken down
Question 32: The word “their” in paragraph | refers to
‘A. telomeres B. individuals C. chromosomes —_D. cellular structures

Additionally, maintaining strong social connections can buffer against stress-induced cellular damage.
Af] B. [I] . [1] D. [IV]
Question 34: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a benefit of stress management techniques?
A. Reduced healtheare costs
B. Increased telomerase activityC. Improved sleep quality
D. Preservation of telomere length
Question 35: Which of the following best summarises paragraph 3?
A. Cognitive behavioral therapy effectively treats insomnia, while Mediterranean diets provide antioxidants
that repair DNA and preserve telomeres during deep sleep cycles.
B. Multiple stress management techniques should be implemented simultaneously rather than individually to
maximize cellular repair and telomere preservation benefits,
C. Quality sleep enables DNA repair during deep phases, while therapies and dietary changes support
telomere health, 0
th combined approaches yielding optimal benefits
D. Deep sleep activates maintenance processes that Mediterranean diets enhance, making cognitive
behavioral therapy unnecessary for those with proper sleep habits.
Question 36: The word “maintenance” in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to
A. preservation B. restoration C. conservation, D. deterioration
Question 37: Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
‘A. This research impacts not only personal wellbeing but also influences governmental regulations and
‘medical institutions
B. Personal health findings have prompted new investigations into policy reform and healthcare delivery
improvements
- Individual health concerns are increasingly being addressed through policy changes and healtheare
system modifications.
D. The findings primarily affect personal health outcomes but may eventually influence policy and
healthcare decisions.
Question 38: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Cognitive behavioral therapy has proven more effective than dietary interventions for preserving
telomere length in clinical trials.
B. Workplace wellness programs have consistently demonstrated significant reduetions in healthcare costs
across all industries.
C. Participants who completed an eight-week mindfulness program showed significant increases in
telomerase activity that helps rebuild telomeres
D. Research conclusively establishes that aerobic exercise contributes more to telomerase activity than
maintaining social connections.
Question 39: Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Mediterranean diets have been scientifically proven more effective than plant-based diets for preventing
telomere shortening.
B. Workplace wellness programs focusing on mindfulness meditation produce better health outcomes than
exercise-based interventions.C. Genetic factors play a more significant role in determining telomere length than lifestyle factors or stress
management techniques.
D. Our emotional responses to stressful situations have measurable biological effects that can accelerate or
slow cellular aging processes.
Question 40: Which of the following best summarises the passage?
A. Chronic stress accelerates cellular aging through telomere shortening, while interventions like
mindfulness,
xercise, sleep quality, and diet can mitigate this damage and influence biological aging
trajectories
B. Telomeres protect chromosomes but shorten with age, causing diseases like cardiovascular problems and
diabetes, which can be prevented through mindfulness meditation and workplace wellness programs.
C. Medical research shows mindfulness meditation increases telomerase activity more effectively than
exercise, sleep, or diet, leading to professional recognition of stress management as clinical intervention.
D. Healthcare systems should incorporate stress reduction techniques into public policy as legitimate clinical
interventions rather than viewing them as lifestyle choices to improve population health outcomes.
