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.

Want to feel stronger and more energized? The answer is simple: eat healthy food. A balanced diet fuels your body, keeps you sharp, and protects you against illnesses. Let’s explore why good nutrition is your path to a better life.

Start with a variety of foods. Think of colorful fruits, crisp vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins like fish, and healthy fats from avocados or seeds. These provide vital nutrients. Your body needs vitamin C for healing and calcium for strong bones. Eating a range of foods ensures you get all the essentials for great health.

Good nutrition also boosts your mind and energy. Fresh foods like berries or almonds improve focus and mood. Processed snacks or sugary drinks, on the other hand, often make you feel sluggish. Balanced meals give you steady energy to power through work, play, or anything else you love doing each day.

Even better, eating well helps prevent serious health issues. Poor diets can lead to problems like heart disease, diabetes, or obesity. Swap fried foods for baked or grilled options, and you’ll lower those risks. Small changes in what you eat build a healthier future, step by step.

To wrap it up, healthy eating transforms your life. Choose nutrient-packed foods to feel your best, both physically and mentally. Try adding a new vegetable to your plate or drinking water instead of soda. Your body will thank you. Start today and embrace the joy of living better through good nutrition.

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.

As urban populations expand, cities face urgent challenges such as rising temperatures, worsening air quality, and declining biodiversity. To address these issues, future cities must combine technological progress with environmental responsibility. [I] Singapore provides a striking example of this balance through its vertical forests and sky gardens, which illustrate how nature can be integrated into modern urban design.

Vertical forests are high-rise buildings whose facades are covered with diverse plants, including trees, shrubs, and vines. These green layers serve several functions at once. They filter the air by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, while also reducing heat on building surfaces. [II] As a result, less energy is required for cooling, which decreases both electricity consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. In this way, vertical forests demonstrate how architecture can directly support sustainability.

Sky gardens extend this approach by creating elevated green spaces within the city’s dense landscape. Located on rooftops and terraces, they capture rainwater, lower the urban heat island effect, and provide habitats for wildlife. Equally important, they offer citizens places to relax, exercise, and connect with others. Thus, sky gardens contribute not only to environmental protection but also to social and mental well-being. [III]

A key feature of Singapore’s model is the treatment of greenery as infrastructure rather than decoration. Designers carefully integrate ecological systems into buildings, ensuring that plants support cooling, water management, and even biodiversity. This approach transforms skyscrapers into living ecosystems, proving that urban architecture can function as part of the natural environment.

Looking ahead, the example of Singapore highlights a possible direction for future cities. If urban areas worldwide adopt similar innovations, they could become more resilient, sustainable, and livable. [IV]
