V. Read the passage and do the exercises.

Twenty years ago, people tried to leave the suburbs for cities but nowadays many people are
reluctant to make such a move. They say that compared to suburban areas, city life has many
drawbacks.
The high cost of living is the first disadvantage. The bigger the city is, the higher the living cost is.
Accommodation and petrol are expensive. Food and drinks are also pricey. Apart from that, city
people seem to suffer from more noise and air pollution. The densely populated neighbourhoods,
busy traffic, and big construction sites make cities noisy and dusty. These are harmful to people’s
health, such as increasing their stress levels, disturbing their sleep and making them suffer from
breathing problems.
Lack of space is another drawback of city life. House prices are high in the city, so people tend to
live in smaller houses or in apartment blocks. Many cities lack spaces for outdoor activities;
therefore, teenagers often hang out at shopping malls or in entertainment complexes instead of
doing sports outdoors.
The cities’ authorities are trying to overcome these problems. However, they still have a long way
to go before they can reduce living costs and pollution, and increase green space to make all cities
in the world more liveable places.
a. Choose the correct answer A, B, C, or D.

VI. Read the passage and choose the correct answer A, B, C, or D to each of the questions.
Goal setting is a crucial process that involves careful consideration of what you want to
accomplish and requires persistent effort to make it a reality. Establishing goals gives you a target
to strive for and helps to keep you motivated throughout the process. Goals also provide you with
a focus and a way to measure your progress and accomplishments.
In the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle, setting realistic goals is the key to success. However, it is
important to be realistic with yourself when setting these goals. If you want to quit smoking, lose a
significant amount of weight, or run a marathon, it is unlikely to happen overnight, or even in a
few months or a year. Not reaching those goals might be discouraging and lead to giving up
altogether. To avoid feeling overwhelmed, it is advisable to start small and concentrate on one
goal at a time. If you want to lose weight, make small and achievable goals. For example, you can
start by working out at least three times a week or adding more vegetables to your meals when you
want seconds.
By keeping a journal or using a tracking app on your phone, you can monitor your progress and
ensure that you stay on track. Once these small goals become part of your routine, you can
gradually add new goals, such as limiting eating out to twice a week or incorporating weightlifting
into your exercise routine. These small goals are easier to achieve and will eventually lead to
meeting your main goal.
1. The first paragraph is about ________________.
A. why goal setting is important B. how to set realistic goals
C. the importance of setting healthy goals D. steps of setting an achievable goal
2. What is one important thing to keep in mind when setting goals for a new healthy lifestyle?
A. Making sure to set as many large goals as possible.
B. Focusing on one small goal at a time to avoid overwhelming yourself.
C. Ignoring small goals and only focusing on large ones.
D. Setting many large goals at once and making them more challenging.
3. The word "seconds” mostly means ________________.
A. food that is sold at a lower price than usual because it is not good
B. a second amount of the food that you need to eat to lose weight
C. only half of the amount of the food that you need to eat every day
D. another serving of food, after you have eaten your first serving
4. What is an example of a small goal you could set when trying to lose weight?
A. Losing a large amount of weight in a month. B. Working out every day.
C. Adding more vegetables to your plate. D. Being able to run a marathon in fifteen days.
5. When small goals become part of our weekly routine, we should ________________.
A. give up on setting goals altogether B. gradually add new goals
C. set other larger goals D. ignore all of our progress
6. What is one benefit of setting small goals, according to the passage?
A. They are easier to achieve. B. They will lead to meeting our main goal at once.
C. They will be more challenging than large goals. D. They require more effort.
VII. Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions. (1.25 pts)
London, the capital city of England and the United Kingdom, is situated on the River Thames,
which meanders through the city. It is renowned for its numerous bridges. Among the bridges, the
oldest one is London Bridge, which was originally built of wood but reconstructed in stone in
1217. However, the most unique bridge is Tower Bridge, which was designed to blend in with the
nearby Tower of London.
London is a thriving commercial and cultural centre with many significant financial organisations
such as the Bank of England and the London stock Exchange. They are located in the area called
the City. Docklands, the former port in east London, has been redeveloped as a business centre.
The West End boasts theatres, cinemas, museums, and stores. Due to the high cost of housing near
the city centre, many people working in London prefer to live in the suburbs and commute to work
by train or bus. London’s transportation system is well-connected, with various modes of
transportation available, including the red London buses, black taxi cabs, and the London
Underground, commonly known as ‘the Tube’.
London is now a cosmopolitan, multicultural city which has attracted people from around the
globe. Although some people from other parts of Britain view it as very noisy and dirty, many
others visit London only for the ‘bright lights’ - the theatres round Shaftesbury Avenue or the
shops of Oxford street. People also take their children to visit Buckingham Palace, where the royal
family lives, and the clock tower, from which Big Ben tolls the hour. Young people, on the other
hand, are lured to the pubs and comedy clubs of Covent Garden, live music concerts, and the stalls
of Camden market.

A. London Bridge. B. Bank of England. C. Tower Bridge. D. Big Ben.
