Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
Mario Wezel is a German photographer who takes photos for National Geographic. Mario is interested in urban farming, so many of his photos show farmers and gardeners. However, urban farming is different from traditional farming. It’s when people farm and garden in the middle of the city.

Mario travelled to urban farms all over the US. In Boston, one man has bees on the roof of the Lenox Hotel. The hotel uses honey from the bees in its restaurant. In San Francisco, there’s a small farm next to the Giants’ baseball stadium. When people watch the game, they can also buy sandwiches from the farm with fresh vegetables! And in Washington, D.C., volunteers can help in a garden at the White House.

For Mario, the most surprising urban farm is at San Quentin State Prison in California. The prison has a garden and, once a week, prisoners can take a gardening class. They learn how to grow plants and flowers. Working in the garden is also therapeutic.

Mario’s photos are all over the US, but you can find urban farms in a lot of different countries and large cities, such as Tokyo, Lima, and Perth. That’s because about 3.5 billion people (half the world’s population) live in cities today, and they want fresh, healthy food. More and more people think urban farming is the answer to the world’s food shortages, as well as to make our cities greener and more relaxing.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
Mary is walking to her maths lesson. Suddenly, Dan, the coolest boy in the class, speaks to her, “Come on! Forget maths. Let’s go into town!” Now Mary feels bad. She has to make a difficult decision. Should she go to maths because that is the right thing to do, or should she take the chance to be friends with the most popular person in the class?

If you have had an experience like this, don’t worry. It is called peer pressure and it happens to everybody. [I] However, people have different reactions. Confident people can swim against the tide, but shy and anxious people often give in. It may be because they want to be liked. It may be because they worry that their friends will make fun of them, or perhaps they are just curious about trying something new.

It is hard being the only one who says no and the question is — how do you do it? Firstly, you must decide what you believe in. If you think that missing maths, smoking, or going somewhere you know your parents wouldn’t like is a bad idea then the answer is simple. [II] Don’t do it. It is your decision, not anybody else’s. [III] Of course, being on your own against everybody else is very hard, so it can really help to have at least one other peer or friend who will say no too. Choose your friends carefully. You will want them to support you when you are in trouble. You don’t want people who will always agree with the majority. Remember, the most popular people aren’t always the most trustworthy.

However, peer pressure is not completely negative. You can learn a lot from people of your own age. They can teach you great football skills or the best way to do your maths homework. [IV] And don’t forget you can tell them things too and that always feels great.
Question 31. Which of the following best summarises paragraph 1?
A. Mary is excited when the most popular student talks to her, and she quickly agrees to his suggestion without hesitation.
B. When Mary is invited by a popular classmate to skip her lesson, she immediately decides to join him despite knowing it is wrong.
C. Mary is torn between attending her maths class and seizing the opportunity to befriend the most admired student in her class.

B. Peer pressure can be positive as confident people never struggle with peer pressure, while shy individuals always give in because they fear losing social acceptance and want to be liked by others.
C. Peer pressure is entirely negative, forcing individuals and their friends to make poor decisions without offering any potential benefits or opportunities for personal growth and learning from others.
