Read the following passage about green living 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

          Green living refers to a lifestyle that promotes sustainability and environmental consciousness. This way of life encourages individuals to make choices that reduce their carbon footprint and conserve natural resources. Practices such as recycling, using renewable energy sources, and reducing waste are fundamental aspects of green living. By adopting these practices, individuals can contribute to the preservation of the environment and promote a healthier planet for future generations.

          One significant component of green living is the use of renewable energy sources. Solar, wind, and hydroelectric power are examples of renewable energy that can replace fossil fuels. Using renewable energy reduces greenhouse gas emissions and dependence on non-renewable resources. Additionally, renewable energy sources are often more sustainable and have less impact on the environment.

          Another important aspect of green living is sustainable consumption. This involves choosing products that are environmentally friendly and responsibly sourced. For example, buying locally produced food reduces the carbon footprint associated with transportation. Moreover, opting for products made from recycled materials helps conserve resources and reduce waste.

          Green living also emphasizes the importance of conserving water and energy. Simple actions such as turning off lights when not in use, fixing leaks, and using energy-efficient appliances can significantly reduce energy and water consumption. These practices not only benefit the environment but also save money on utility bills.

          Education and awareness play a crucial role in promoting green living. By educating individuals about the benefits of sustainable practices and how to implement them, communities can foster a culture of environmental responsibility. Awareness campaigns, workshops, and educational programs are effective ways to encourage people to adopt green living practices.

Read the following passage about The Elderly in Multicultural Societies: Challenges and Opportunities 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.

In multicultural societies, elderly individuals face unique challenges and important opportunities. As communities diversify rapidly, traditional support systems are constantly evolving. Seniors often navigate unfamiliar cultural environments while facing significant language barriers that lead to social isolation. These persistent obstacles frequently prevent full access to essential healthcare services or meaningful community participation. Fortunately, innovative local organizations address these critical issues by offering comprehensive translation services and culturally sensitive care options.

Technology presents both remarkable benefits and considerable difficulties for elderly individuals from various cultural backgrounds. Digital tools effectively connect seniors with distant family members globally, yet many older adults struggle substantially with these new communication methods. Recent research shows approximately 65% of elderly immigrants experience digital exclusion compared to native-born seniors. In response, numerous community centers have successfully established specialized technology workshops for older adults from diverse backgrounds, helping them maintain vital connections with overseas relatives and friends.

Cultural differences significantly impact elderly care approaches across communities. In collectivist cultures, elderly family members traditionally live with their children, while Western societies typically emphasize personal independence. This fundamental divergence creates tension when immigrant families attempt to adapt to new societal norms. However, vibrant multicultural environments provide valuable opportunities for exchanging diverse perspectives on aging. Many communities benefit tremendously from adopting hybrid approaches blending traditional cultural practices with modern care techniques, creating more comprehensive support systems.

Economic aspects of aging in multicultural contexts matter significantly for overall wellbeing. Elderly immigrants frequently face severe financial hardships due to limited retirement savings and persistent employment discrimination throughout their lives. Some progressive governments implement supportive policies addressing these vulnerable individuals' unique needs. Certain forward-thinking regions offer specialized employment programs for seniors with diverse cultural backgrounds, recognizing their valuable skills and extensive life experiences. Additionally, creative intergenerational initiatives connecting elderly immigrants with younger community members effectively foster mutual understanding and practical support, successfully transforming demographic challenges into meaningful community enrichment opportunities.

Although noise, commonly defined as unwanted sound, is a widely recognized form of pollution, it is very difficult to measure because the discomfort experienced by different individuals is highly subjective and, therefore, variable. Exposure to lower levels of noise may be slightly irritating, whereas exposure to higher levels may actually cause hearing loss. Particularly in congested urban areas, the noise produced as a by-product of our advancing technology causes physical and psychological harm, and detracts from the quality of life for those who are exposed to it.

Unlike the eyes, which can be covered by the eyelids against strong light, the ear has no lid, and is, therefore, always open and vulnerable; noise penetrates without protection. Noise causes effects that the hearer cannot control and to which the body never becomes  accustomeLoud noises instinctively signal danger to any organism with a hearing mechanism, including human beings. In response, heartbeat and respiration accelerate, blood vessels constrict, the skin pales, and muscles tense. In fact, there is a general increase in functioning brought about by the flow of adrenaline released in response to fear, and some of these responses persist even longer than the noise, occasionally as long as thirty minutes after the sound has ceased.

Because noise is unavoidable in a complex, industrial society, we are constantly responding in the same way that we would respond to danger. Recently, researchers have concluded that noise and our response may be much more than an annoyance. It may be a serious threat to physical and psychological health and well-being, causing damage not only to the ear and brain but also to the heart and stomach. We have long known that hearing loss is America's number one nonfatal health problem, but now we are learning that some of us with heart disease and ulcers may be victims of noise as well. Fetuses exposed to noise tend to be overactive, they cry easily, and they are more sensitive to gastrointestinal problems after birth. In addition, the psychic effect of noise is very important. Nervousness, irritability, tension, and anxiety increase affecting the quality of rest during sleep, and the efficiency of activities during waking hours, as well as the way that we interact with each other.

Thị lẳng lặng theo hắn vào trong nhà, cái nhà vắng teo đứng rúm ró trên mảnh vườn mọc lổn nhổn những bụi cỏ dại. Thị đảo mắt nhìn xung quanh, cái ngực gầy lép nhô lên, nén một tiếng thở dài. Tràng xăm xăm bước vào trong nhà, nhấc tấm phên rách sang một bên thu dọn những niêu bát xống áo vứt bừa bộn cả trên giường dưới đất. Hắn quay lại nhìn thị cười cười:

- Không có người đàn bà, nhà cửa thế đấy!

Thị nhếch mép cười nhạt nhẽo . Tràng vỗ vỗ xuống giường đon đả:

- Ngồi đây!... Ngồi xuống đây, tự nhiên...
