Bali, the fabled "Island of the Gods", has been enchanting visitors for centuries with its rich cultural
traditions and spectacular panoramas. From lofty, mist enshrouded volcanoes and cool mountain lakes down
through terraced rice fields to a golden strand lapped by azure waters, every square inch of Bali offers a fresh
and unforgettable image.
No less enchanting are its people, some 2.7 million souls whose artistry and piety are recognized
throughout the world Balinese Hinduism, a complex fusion of Indian cosmology. Tantric Buddhism and
homegrown mythology, is the primary faith of Bali's inhabitants, and so deeply woven into the fabric of their
daily lives that the line between the spiritual and the material is blurry at best.
Those of you keen on delving into the island's fascinating culture will have plenty of opportunities, as
colorful ceremonies and traditional performances occur with regularity of sunrise. Most hotels offer nightly
dance shows of one form or another, tailored to tourist audiences but none the less exquisite. The hill town of
Ubud, the island's premier arts center, also has a full schedule of performance, and the nearby stone-cutter's
village of Batubulan is famed for its Barong lion dances. The shoppers among you will find Bali a treasure
house of handicrafts and fine works of art. The Balinese are incredibly gifted artists and craftsmen, and their
material creations are imbued with the same sense of wonderment with which they regard their universe. Stone
and wood carvings, traditional and modern paintings and intricately designed jewelry in gold and silver are
readily in shops and galleries throughout the island.
As for recreation, there is no shortage of option. Nature walks, horseback riding, diving, surfing, even
bungy jumping, and white water rafting await the adventurous here.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the

Many people see large urban cities as a wonder of human imagination and creativity. They represent how
far the human population has come in terms of community development. Many positive things come from
urbanization, but there are also negatives. This article will discuss and present data on the implications of
urbanization on the physical health of humans living in these large urban areas.
As it would be expected, developing countries tend to see more negative physical health effects than
modern countries in regard to urbanization. One example of a developing country experiencing these
problems is China. China is a country that in the past 30–40 years went from being an agrarian based society
to a significant industrialized country. This industrialization has in effect caused the need for more centralized
cities, centralized meaning having lots of jobs and living spaces within a close proximity. This is what is
known as urbanization. In most recent decades, since China’s change to being more of an industrial based
economy, the country has experienced record high numbers of people migrating within its borders. In effect,
the number of cities with over 500,000 people has more than doubled. These migrations are typically of people
from rural areas of China moving to the new urban areas. Due to this large influx in the urban population,
there are many possibilities for health challenges among these people.
One very common and fairly obvious negative aspect of highly congested urban areas is air pollution.
Air pollution is defined as any harmful substance being suspended in the air. This could include particulate
matter, most commonly attributed to industrial plants and refineries waste, or chemicals like CO2 or Methane
(which are also products of plants and refineries as well as cars and other modes of transportation). Due to a
vast number of people in these urbanized cities, the air pollution is known to be very extreme. These conditions
can lead to many different health problems such as: Asthma, cardiovascular problems or disease, and different
types of cancer (most commonly lung cancer). When exposed to these conditions for a prolonged period of
time, one can experience even more detrimental health effects like: the acceleration of aging, loss of lung
capacity and health, being more susceptible to respiratory diseases, and a shortened life span.
Another way that urbanization affects the populations’ health is people’s change in diet. For instance,
urban cities tend to have lots of accessible, quick, and easy to get food. This food is also more than likely not
as high quality as well as contains a large amount of sodium and sugar. Because this food is so accessible,
people tend to eat it more. This increase in consumption of low quality food can then lead to diabetes,
hypertension, heart disease, obesity, or many other health conditions.
