Read the following passage about managing change 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. 

Growing up in Athens, Greece, Lydia Borsi remembers feeling tested when she tried to deal with mental health issues. Borsi says she had been seeing a therapist for anxiety. But she notes that people in Greece do not openly discuss mental health issues, which also get little attention in general healthcare services. “It was a lot more secretive. And people thought that I was a lot more unique,” Borsi said.

That all changed in 2017 when she moved to the United States to study at the University of Rochester in Rochester, New York. “When I came here, I really liked that people were not afraid to speak up about mental health and say that it’s important,” she said. The university was very supportive of her needs and offered plenty of information. She also became involved with a school group called Active Minds that helps students deal with mental health issues. [A]

Then due to the spread of the novel coronavirus, the University of Rochester had to move all its classes and some of its mental health resources online. Luckily, Borsi was able to connect with a mental health expert outside the school, in the local community. [B]

But as many of her American friends returned home, Borsi was stuck. Greece had succeeded in limiting the spread of the virus within its borders, but flights there from the U.S. are barred until July. Also, the health crisis has put her plans to seek admission to medical school in Britain on hold. [C] And she is not alone.

[D] In April, Active Minds launched a survey of over 2,000 students at U.S. colleges and universities. The study found that over 80 percent of those asked said the coronavirus crisis had negatively affected their mental health. One in five said it has affected them severely.

Laura Horne, chief program officer at Active Minds, says the findings are especially troubling given that the crisis is only going to make it harder for colleges and universities to help these students. “Colleges and universities had to pivot rather quickly to respond to COVID-19 and figure out all facets of university life, including mental health services. Now they have to figure out how to communicate with students,” Horne said.

Frank Chen is a Houston, Texas-based psychiatrist who has worked with college-age young adults. He points out that individuals at that age are in an important stage of their mental development. And college can be a difficult experience for students with or without mental health issues, as they balance work, studies, and personal relationships. Adding a major world event, like the spread of the coronavirus, makes it very difficult to predict what the long-term psychological effects might be. “I don’t think that there’s another event in the history of the people who are alive now that can really measure up to this,” said Chen.

The word ‘barred’ in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to

Read the following passage about the Second Acts That Inspire 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.

Life often presents us with unexpected challenges that force us back to the drawing board. Whether due to personal setbacks, career changes, or unforeseen circumstances, the courage to begin again can lead to remarkable transformations. Many inspiring individuals have shown that it's never too late to reinvent oneself and pursue new dreams. Throughout history, countless people have overcome seemingly impossible situations through sheer determination.

[I] Take J.K. Rowling, for instance. Before becoming a literary sensation, she was a struggling single mother living on welfare. [II] Her determination eventually paid off when her books became a global phenomenon, proving that setbacks can become stepping stones to success. [III] This remarkable turnaround demonstrates how resilience and unwavering belief in oneself can overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Despite facing depression and financial hardship, she never gave up on her dreams. [IV]

Colonel Harland Sanders' story is another testament to the power of starting anew. At the age of 65, when most people contemplate retirement, he found himself struggling financially after his restaurant failed. Instead of giving up, he traveled across America, sleeping in his car while pitching his chicken recipe to restaurant owners. His recipe for success wasn't just about the perfect blend of herbs and spices; it was about persistence and determination. After facing over 1,000 rejections, he finally established Kentucky Fried Chicken, which grew into a global empire. His unwavering spirit and dedication inspired generations of entrepreneurs worldwide.

These inspiring stories remind us that failure is not final, but rather a chance to redirect our path. Every setback carries the seed of an equal or greater opportunity, and sometimes the end of one chapter is simply the beginning of a better one. The key lies in having the courage to take that first step, even when the future seems uncertain. As these remarkable individuals have shown, it's never too late to rewrite your story and create a powerful second act. Their journeys teach us that persistence and courage ultimately lead to success.

The word “contemplate” in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to _________.

c. Firstly, I think playing in the water could bring great joy. It also helps reduce stress and I always feel refreshed and relaxed after swimming for about half an hour.

d. It helps build up my muscle strength and prevent many heart and lung diseases.

e. Finally, besides being a great sport, swimming is also an important survival skill, because without knowing how to swim well, it could be dangerous if there is a flood, or simply if we want to play near bodies of water.

Read the following passage about wildlife conservation 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] Wildlife conservation refers to the efforts made to protect and preserve wild animal species and their habitats. [II] It is crucial for maintaining biodiversity, which plays a vital role in ecosystem stability and health (Smith & Jones, 2018). [III] Unfortunately, many species are threatened due to habitat destruction, poaching, and climate change, making conservation efforts more urgent than ever. [IV]

One of the primary reasons for wildlife conservation is the preservation of biodiversity. A diverse range of species contributes to ecosystem services, such as pollination, water purification, and climate regulation. The loss of a single species can disrupt these services and lead to ecological imbalances. For instance, the decline of pollinators like bees has serious implications for food production and agriculture (Global Biodiversity Outlook, 2020).

Moreover, wildlife conservation has significant economic benefits. Many communities depend on ecotourism, which relies on healthy wildlife populations and intact ecosystems. According to a study by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), ecotourism can generate billions of dollars in revenue, providing jobs and supporting local economies (WWF, 2021). Protecting wildlife not only safeguards natural resources but also creates sustainable livelihoods for local populations.

However, effective wildlife conservation requires a collaborative approach. Governments, non-governmental organizations, and local communities must work together to implement policies and strategies that promote conservation efforts. Community-based conservation initiatives, where local people actively participate in protecting their natural resources, have shown promising results. These initiatives empower communities and ensure that conservation efforts are tailored to local needs and contexts (Bennett & Dearden, 2014).
