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.
