There is a common misconception that working out every day will yield faster and
better results. While consistent exercise is vital for progress, the body also requires
adequate time to rest and recover. Overtraining can lead to fatigue, decreased
performance, and an increased risk of injury. It is essential to strike a balance between
challenging workouts and allowing sufficient recovery time for muscles to repair and grow
stronger.
In reality, the duration and intensity of workouts should be tailored to individual
fitness levels and goals. Quality workouts that target different muscle groups and
incorporate cardiovascular exercises can be more effective than simply increasing the
quantity of training sessions.
Some people believe that working out every day causes them to indulge in unhealthy
eating habits or neglect other aspects of their well-being. While exercise is a crucial
component of a healthy lifestyle, it should be complemented by a balanced diet, sufficient
sleep, and stress management. Neglecting these other factors can hinder overall health and
fitness progress.
Moreover, working out every day does not guarantee weight loss or body
transformation. While exercise contributes to calorie burning and muscle development,
weight loss also depends on factors like diet, genetics, and overall lifestyle habits.
A holistic approach that combines regular exercise with a nutritious diet and healthy
habits is key to achieving sustainable results.

A. Debunking Myths About Daily Workouts
B. The Benefits of Working Out Every Day

C. the duration of each workout
D. the quantity of cardiovascular exercises
Question 36. The word "it" in paragraph 3 refers to _____.
A. working out every day B. rest and recovery
C. overtraining D. fatigue and decreased performance
Question 37. The word “holistic” in paragraph 4 mostly means _____.
A. focused and specific
B. comprehensive and all-encompassing
C. intensive and rigorous
D. varied and diverse
Question 38. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. Consistent exercise is essential for progress.
B. Overtraining can lead to fatigue and decreased performance.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 39 to 45.
Both strains and sprains share common signs and symptoms, including immediate or
delayed pain, tenderness in the soft tissue near the bone, swelling, bruising, muscle
spasms, and weakness or discomfort when using the affected area.
Strains often occur when excessive pressure is exerted on a muscle, like when lifting
heavy objects. They are more likely to happen during physical activity when the body is
contracting, stretching, or working a specific body part. Insufficient warm-up exercises
that boost blood circulation to the muscles can also contribute to strains, commonly
affecting athletes in their backs, necks, or legs.
Sprains, on the other hand, are typically caused by twisting an ankle or knee.
Although they commonly occur during sports, sprains can happen in various situations.
Interestingly, older kids and teenagers are more prone to sprains than younger children.
To diagnose strains and sprains, doctors typically ask questions about the injured area
and conduct an examination, including assessing range of motion and strength tests. In
some cases, an X-ray or other imaging study may be ordered to identify additional injuries
like fractures, while ultrasounds can be useful in diagnosing minor tears.
Treatment for strains and sprains often involves rest to protect and facilitate healing
of the injury. Swelling can be managed by applying ice wrapped in a towel, using
compression techniques like elastic bandages or compression sleeves, and elevating the
injured area. Immobilising the affected part with wrapping or splinting may be necessary,
followed by strengthening exercises to promote muscle recovery. Pain medication is
generally recommended for a limited period.
Children and teenagers with a sprain or strain typically need to take a break from
sports until specific criteria are met. These include the reduction of swelling, absence of
pain during sports activities, approval from the doctor, the ability to perform without
limping, full range of motion in the injured area, and restored strength.
Fortunately, strains and sprains usually heal without long-term complications. It's
important to follow the doctor's instructions diligently to promote a speedy recovery. To
prevent strains and sprains, encourage young athletes to engage in thorough warm-up
exercises before physical activity, incorporating movements like jogging, high knees, butt
kicks, and active stretching. Additionally, encourage post-activity static stretching, where
each stretch is held for at least 30 seconds.
In the event of a strain or sprain, coaches, personal trainers, doctors, or physical
therapists can provide guidance on strengthening exercises to aid recovery and minimise
the risk of reinjury. With proper care and attention, strains and sprains can be overcome,
allowing individuals to return to their favourite activities stronger and more resilient than
ever.

Equity is a vital indicator of financial well-being, representing the contrast between
your assets' value and outstanding debt. Actively pursuing equity-building strategies can
bolster net worth, alleviate financial burdens, and secure a brighter future. Below are some
effective approaches to build equity in various aspects of life: home ownership, business
ventures, and personal finances.
In terms of home equity, making regular mortgage payments gradually reduces debt
and increases your stake in the property. Refinancing at lower interest rates minimises
expenses and accelerates equity growth. Strategic home improvements enhance market
value, contributing to equity gains. Additionally, profitable property sales capitalise on
favourable markets, significantly boosting equity.
Business equity hinges on augmenting your business's value relative to debt. Revenue
growth through increased sales fortifies the business foundation, while expense reduction
and market expansion stimulate equity growth. Attracting investors injects capital,
amplifying overall business value and equity.
Personal equity entails reducing outstanding debts, prioritising high-interest
repayments, and building retirement savings. Prudent investments diversify asset
portfolios and potentially increase personal equity. Adhering to a comprehensive budget
ensures responsible financial management, fostering steady personal equity growth.
Building equity requires commitment and perseverance, but the rewards are
substantial. It empowers financial stability, security, and freedom, while boosting self-
confidence and overall happiness. By implementing the strategies outlined, you can
embark on the journey of equity building today, laying the foundation for a prosperous
future.

Sepak Takraw is a sport that originated in Southeast Asia and is played by two teams
of three players each. The objective is to kick a rattan ball over a net and prevent it from
touching the ground on one's own side. The sport requires a high level of skill
and athleticism, as players can use any part of their body except their hands and arms to
control the ball.
One of the benefits of playing Sepak Takraw is that it helps develop eye-foot
coordination, leg strength and flexibility. Eye-foot coordination is the ability to coordinate
one's movements with visual information. This is essential for Sepak Takraw players, as
they need to track the ball's trajectory and position themselves accordingly. They also need
to anticipate their opponents' moves and react quickly.
Leg strength is another important aspect of Sepak Takraw, as players need to generate
power and speed to kick the ball over the net. They also need to jump high and perform
acrobatic moves, such as bicycle kicks, somersaults and spikes. These actions require
strong muscles in the legs, hips and core.
Flexibility refers to how well one moves his joints through a full range of motion.
This is beneficial for Sepak Takraw players, as they need to stretch their legs in different
directions and angles to reach the ball. They also need to maintain balance and stability
while doing so. Flexibility can prevent injuries and improve performance.
Question 39. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?
A. Sepak Takraw is a popular sport in Southeast Asia.
B. Playing Sepak Takraw improves eye-foot coordination, leg strength, and
flexibility.
C. The objective of Sepak Takraw is to kick a ball over the net without using hands
and arms.
D. Sepak Takraw requires three players on each team.
Question 40. The word “athleticism” in paragraph 1 probably means _______.
A. agility and coordination B. teamwork and strategy
C. physical strength and endurance D. sportsmanship and fair play
Question 41. According to paragraph 3, in order to kick the ball over the net, one needs
_____.
A. good eyesight B. proper technique
C. accuracy D. teamwork
Question 42. The word “anticipate” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. predict B. avoid C. react D. observe
Question 43. According to paragraph 3, strong muscles are important in Sepak Takraw
because _______.
A. they help players maintain balance and stability
B. they allow players to perform acrobatic moves
C. they generate power and speed for kicking the ball

Question 44. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. Sepak Takraw originated in Southeast Asia.
B. Sepak Takraw is played with a rattan ball.
C. Sepak Takraw is a team sport with three players on each team.

Housing benefit, a government assistance program aimed at helping families (29)
_____ low incomes and individuals afford housing, has been a hot topic of debate for
years. In the UK, over four million people receive housing benefit, and the government
spends billions of pounds each year on the program. Critics argue that housing benefit
creates a dependency on the government and (30) _____ individuals from seeking
employment. In addition, some landlords take advantage of the program by charging (31)
_____ rents that are covered by the benefit, which can contribute to rising housing costs.
However, proponents of housing benefit argue that it is a necessary safety net for those
who are struggling to make ends meet. (32) _____ this support, many families and
individuals would be unable to afford decent housing, leading to homelessness and other
social problems. In recent years, the government has introduced a number of changes to
the housing benefit system, including a cap on the amount of benefit that can be received
and the introduction of a bedroom tax. These changes have been controversial, with critics
arguing that they disproportionately affect the most vulnerable members of society.

Physical injuries are an inherent risk when participating in sports activities. Whether
engaging in high-impact contact sports or individual athletic endeavours, the human body
is susceptible to various types of injuries. From minor bruises to severe fractures, sports-
related injuries can have both short-term and long-term effects on an individual's physical
well-being.
One common type of injury in sports is sprains and strains. These occur when
ligaments or muscles/tendons are stretched or torn due to sudden movements or excessive
force. Sprained ankles, strained muscles, and ligament tears are frequent occurrences in
sports like basketball, soccer, and tennis.
Another prevalent injury is fractures, which are breaks or cracks in bones. These can
result from direct trauma, falls, or overuse. Fractures can range from hairline fractures to
complete breaks, requiring immediate medical attention and often necessitating a period of
immobilisation and rehabilitation.
Concussions, particularly in contact sports such as football or rugby, are also a
concern. A concussion is a traumatic brain injury caused by a sudden blow to the head,
resulting in symptoms like dizziness, confusion, and memory loss. Proper diagnosis and
adequate recovery time are crucial to prevent further complications.
Additionally, overuse injuries are prevalent in sports that involve repetitive motions.
Examples include tennis elbow, runner's knee, and stress fractures. These injuries occur
gradually over time due to excessive strain on specific body parts, often requiring rest,
physical therapy, and modifications in training routines.
Question 34. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. The Risks and Injuries Associated with Sports Activities
B. The Impact of Sports on Physical Well-being
C. Preventing Sports-related Injuries
D. The Importance of Proper Diagnosis in Sports Injuries
Question 35. According to paragraph 3, immobilisation is _______.
A. a common type of sports injury B. the result of direct trauma to the bones
C. a period of not going about D. a treatment for fractures
Question 36. The word "these" in paragraph 3 refers to _____.
A. sprained ankles, strained muscles, and ligament tears
B. fractures
C. sports-related injuries
D. basketball, soccer, and tennis
Question 37. The word “crucial” in paragraph 4 mostly means _____.
A. insignificant B. essential C. harmful D. optional
Question 38. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. Concussions are a common concern in contact sports.
B. Overuse injuries occur gradually over time.
C. Fractures can be caused by falls or overuse.
D. Sprains and strains are the most prevalent sports injuries.

Greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere. This natural process is what makes the
surface of the Earth warmer, making it possible for living things to survive. Greenhouse
gases can be classified into four major groups.
• Carbon dioxide (CO2) comes from the burning of fossil fuels and biological materials.
When it is absorbed by plants, it is removed from the atmosphere.
• Methane (CH4) is the by-product of the production and transportation of coal, natural
gas and oil, agricultural practices and the decay of organic waste.
• Nitrous oxide (N2O) is emitted during agricultural and industrial activities. It also
originates from wastewater treatment. It is absorbed by certain types of bacteria or
destroyed by ultraviolet radiation or chemical reactions. Methane is removed from
the atmosphere through natural processes in soil and chemical reactions in the
atmosphere. Methane’s lifetime in the atmosphere is much shorter than carbon
dioxide, but it is much more efficient at trapping radiation.
• Fluorinated gases (CFCs) have their origins in a variety of household, commercial and
industrial applications and processes. Fluorinated gases are in smaller quantities
than other greenhouse gases, but they are the most potent and longest lasting ones.
Fluorinated gases are removed from the atmosphere only when they are destroyed
by sunlight in the upper atmosphere.
Each of these gases remain in the atmosphere for a different amount of time, ranging from
a few years to thousands of years. They remain long enough to become well mixed,
meaning that the amount measured in the atmosphere is roughly the same all over the
world, regardless of the source of emission.
Question 39. The passage mainly discusses _______ of different greenhouse effects.
A. the source and the eradication B. the dangers and the benefits
C. the chemical processes D. the estimated amounts
Question 40. Wastewater treatment is the origin of _______.
A. CO2 B. CH4 C. N2O D. CFCs
Question 41. The word “emitted” is closest in meaning to _______.
A. stored B. used C. cleaned D. produced
Question 42. The word “it” refers to _______.
A. carbon dioxide B. lifetime C. atmosphere D. methane
Question 43. Which greenhouse gases are removed high up in the sky?
A. CO2 B. CH4 C. N2O D. CFCs
Question 44. The word “potent” is closest in meaning to _______.
A. efficient B. beneficial C. influential D. common
Question 45. Different greenhouse gases stay in the atmosphere _______.
A. for the same amount of time B. for different lengths of time
C. for roughly twenty years D. for an unknown amount of time

Adolescent rebellion is commonplace, and a lot of research has been done into its causes.
Biologically, adolescents have their prefrontal cortex, part of the human brain, put into
practice. This results in teenagers’ arguing and testing boundaries. In other words,
adolescents make their own decisions and mistakes to develop the prefrontal cortex fully.
Besides, hormonal changes may urge them to misbehave or become more impulsive. In
view of this, a son’s rebellion may be against his own wishes. On top of that, adolescents
want more independence, which is often confused with rebellion. They also want to be in
control of their own lives, making their own decisions. The more forceful a parent is, the
more counterproductive it is now. Similarly, adolescents seek acceptance and attention.
They want to fit in with their friends and want others to take notice of them as
well. Meanwhile, parents tend to be too worried and make things even worse, let alone see
their teenage children through this hard time.

A. Some causes of teenagers’ rebellion

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to

In recent years, there has been a remarkable surge of interest in alternative living as
people seek more sustainable and fulfilling ways to exist. With the growing awareness of
environmental issues and a desire for greater autonomy, individuals and communities are
re-evaluating traditional norms and embracing innovative approaches to housing, food
production, and energy consumption. This paradigm shift towards alternative living has
captured the attention of a diverse range of people, from urban dwellers to rural
enthusiasts, all united in their pursuit of a more harmonious and eco-conscious lifestyle.
One of the key pillars of alternative living is the concept of eco-friendly housing.
Traditional homes are giving way to eco-friendly structures that utilise renewable
materials, energy-efficient designs, and even off-grid capabilities. Tiny houses, for
instance, have gained immense popularity due to their minimalistic nature, affordability,
and reduced environmental footprint. These compact dwellings provide a sense of
freedom, enabling individuals to live with less clutter and prioritise experiences over
possessions.
Another significant aspect of alternative living is sustainable food production.
Community gardens, urban farming, and rooftop gardens are becoming increasingly
prevalent in cities, allowing individuals to reconnect with nature, grow their own organic
produce, and reduce their reliance on industrially produced food. Additionally, alternative
agricultural practices such as permaculture and aquaponics are gaining traction, promoting
biodiversity, resource conservation, and regenerative farming techniques.
Energy independence is also a central theme in the realm of alternative living. Solar
panels, wind turbines, and other renewable energy sources are empowering individuals to
generate their own clean energy and reduce their carbon footprint. Furthermore,
innovative technologies like energy storage systems and smart grids are facilitating the
efficient utilisation of energy, enabling individuals to optimise their consumption and
minimise waste.
The rise of alternative living has sparked a sense of community and collaboration
among like-minded individuals. Eco-villages and intentional communities are emerging as
havens for those seeking a shared vision of sustainable living. These close-knit
communities foster collaboration, resource sharing, and the exchange of ideas, creating a
supportive environment for individuals to thrive.
Question 39. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Reviving a Revolution
B. Unveiling the Trend of Renewable Energy
C. The Growing Appeal of Sustainable Food Production: A New Era Dawns
D. Alternative Living: Paving the Way for a Greener Future
Question 40. The word "surge" in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. decrease B. peak C. stagnation D. variation
Question 41. According to paragraph 2, tiny houses have become immensely popular
because _______.
A. they are spacious and luxurious
B. they are expensive and exclusive
C. they offer a sense of freedom and simplicity
D. they provide a large environmental footprint
Question 42. The word "These" in paragraph 2 refers to _____.
A. alternative living approaches B. traditional homes
C. eco-friendly structures D. minimalistic nature
Question 43. The phrase "carbon footprint" in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to
_______.
A. environmental impact B. renewable energy
C. sustainable living D. energy efficiency
Question 44. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. Alternative living promotes eco-consciousness.
B. Tiny houses are gaining popularity due to their affordability.
C. Sustainable food production includes permaculture and aquaponics.
D. Energy independence is not a central theme in alternative living.
Question 45. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. The interest in alternative living is limited to rural areas.
B. Traditional housing is completely replaced by eco-friendly structures.
C. Alternative living fosters a sense of community and collaboration.
D. The rise of alternative living has led to a decrease in environmental awareness.

Paying off a home mortgage poses a substantial challenge for numerous homeowners,
requiring a great deal of financial planning and discipline. While possessing a home can
symbolise stability and financial security, discharging the mortgage could prove to be an
intimidating task. Various factors can complicate mortgage payments, including exorbitant
interest rates, escalating housing costs, and unforeseen financial emergencies.
The primary impediment to paying off a mortgage is high-interest rates, which can
cause homeowners to pay a considerable amount in interest charges over the loan's
lifespan, resulting in challenges to quickly pay off the mortgage and leading to financial
distress. Moreover, rising living costs can pose difficulties for homeowners to keep up
with their monthly mortgage payments, especially for those on fixed incomes or limited
budgets. What is more, abrupt job losses, medical emergencies, or unforeseen repair costs
can rapidly drain homeowners' savings, making it difficult to pay the mortgage on time.
To overcome these barriers, homeowners must create a robust financial plan that
includes a realistic budget and an emergency fund. Homeowners can also consider
refinancing their mortgage to obtain a lower interest rate or taking on additional work to
increase their income.
Question 34. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Risks and Rewards of Owning a Home
B. Mortgage Payment Strategies for Homeowners
C. The Benefits of Fixed Income in Paying off Mortgages
D. The Challenges of Paying off a Home Mortgage

ownership could _____.
A. encourage lavish spending B. signal long-term commitment
C. reduce travel opportunities D. reinforce social status

A. the rising living costs B. the sudden job losses
C. the medical emergencies D. the homeowners
Question 37. The word "drain" in paragraph 2 mostly means _____.
A. accumulate B. replenish C. overflow D. exhaust
Question 38. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. Homeownership can offer financial stability and security.
B. High-interest rates can make it difficult to pay off a mortgage quickly.
C. Unexpected financial emergencies can easily drain homeowners' savings.
D. Having a larger emergency fund is not necessary for paying off a mortgage.

One of the common ways to check if someone is sick is to feel their forehead with
your hand. But why do we do this? What does it mean when someone's head feels hot?
The main reason why we feel someone's forehead is to check for fever. Fever is a
condition where the body temperature rises above the normal range, usually as a result of
an infection or inflammation. Fever is a sign that the body is fighting off a sickness, such
as a cold, flu, or COVID-19. When we have a fever, our body tries to cool itself down by
increasing blood flow to the skin, especially the head. This makes the skin feel warm or
hot to the touch. The forehead is an easy and accessible part of the body to measure
temperature, since it has a lot of blood vessels close to the surface.
However, feeling someone's forehead is not a very accurate way to tell if they have a
fever. Different factors can affect how hot or cold someone's skin feels, such as room
temperature, humidity, sweat, or clothing. Also, some people may have a higher or lower
normal body temperature than others. Therefore, it is better to use a thermometer to
measure someone's temperature if you suspect they have a fever. A thermometer can give
you a more precise and reliable reading of their core body temperature,
which reflects their true health status.
Feeling someone's forehead is an old-fashioned and intuitive method of checking for
fever, but it is not very scientific or reliable. It can give you a rough idea of whether
someone is sick or not, but it cannot tell you how serious their condition is or what kind of
illness they have.
