Read the following passage about Growing new tissues for aging bodies 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.
Regenerative medicine is a promising healthcare field today that continues to advance rapidly. It focuses
on repairing damaged tissues through cellular therapies and tissue engineering developed by researchers
worldwide. Scientists are making significant progress growing tissues from stem cells, which can become
different cell types when properly stimulated. These remarkable advances offer genuine hope for millions of
patients with age-related conditions previously considered untreatable by conventional medical approaches.
The process begins with carefully collecting stem cells from embryonic tissues, adult tissues, or through
innovative cellular reprogramming techniques. These specialized cells grow in sophisticated laboratories that
precisely mimic natural body conditions. Skilled researchers use specific growth factors and biocompatible
scaffolds to guide cells into becoming functional tissues with appropriate structures. The ultimate goal is
creating viable tissues for successful transplantation without immune rejection, which remains a significant
challenge for medical professionals in this evolving field.
Regenerative medicine faces several substantial obstacles despite its tremendous potential. Ethical
issues regarding stem cell sources have caused intense debates among scientists, policymakers, and religious
organizations globally. The prohibitively high research costs significantly limit treatment accessibility for
average patients. Regulatory frameworks differ dramatically across countries, creating inconsistent approval
processes that hinder progress. However, dedicated researchers firmly believe these challenging barriers can be
overcome through continuous innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration among medical specialties.
The potential impact on aging populations could be truly revolutionary in coming decades. As
global demographics shift toward older populations, demand for effective treatments for age-related conditions
will inevitably rise. Debilitating diseases like heart disease, diabetes, Parkinson's, and arthritis might eventually
be treated by replacing damaged tissues with custom lab-grown alternatives. This transformative approach
could fundamentally change healthcare from merely managing chronic conditions to potentially curing them,
substantially extending both lifespan and health span—the valuable period of life spent in good health without
significant disease.

Read the following passage about the Access to Nature and Its Measurable Health Benefits 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.
Spending time in nature is good for our health. Many studies show that being in parks, forests, or near
water makes people feel better. When we walk in green spaces, our stress levels go down. Our blood pressure
also becomes lower. Getting outdoors regularly is truly worth its weight in gold for our overall wellbeing.
Even looking at pictures of nature can help us feel calmer. Doctors now sometimes tell patients to spend time
outside as part of their treatment. Research indicates these benefits occur across all age groups worldwide.
Physical health improves when we have access to nature. [I] People who live near parks often exercise
more. [II] They walk, run, or ride bikes on paths and trails. Getting sunshine helps our bodies make vitamin D,
which keeps our bones strong. [III] Children who play outside regularly are less likely to become overweight
and may have better eyesight. [IV] Natural surroundings also strengthen our immune systems against common
illnesses.

Mental health benefits from nature are clear too. Time in natural settings can reduce feelings of anxiety
and depression. Students who study with a view of trees or plants can focus better. Office workers with plants
nearby report feeling happier at work. After difficult life events, people often find comfort in quiet natural
places. The sounds of birds singing or water flowing create a peaceful feeling that helps the mind rest. These
experiences stimulate production of feel-good hormones in our brains.
Scientists continue to discover new ways that nature helps us. Hospital patients who can see trees
from their windows often recover faster than those who cannot. Elderly people who garden regularly tend
to live longer. Communities with more green spaces have lower crime rates in many cases. As our world
becomes more digital, the healing power of nature becomes even more important. Making parks and natural
areas available to everyone should be a priority for healthy communities. Even short nature breaks can
counteract negative effects of technology use.
Question 31: The phrase “worth its weight in gold” in paragraph 1 could be best replaced by _________.

A. Chronic stress accelerates cellular aging through telomere shortening, while interventions like
mindfulness, exercise, 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.
