VI. Read the passage and then answer the questions by choosing the best option A, B, C or D.
Living environments have undergone significant changes over the past century. In the past, people
often lived in rural areas or small towns, where they were closely connected to nature. Their homes were
typically made of locally sourced materials like wood and stone, and many households grew their own
food. The air was cleaner, and there was less noise pollution compared to today's urban environments.
Today, a large proportion of the population lives in cities. Urban living offers numerous advantages,
such as access to better healthcare, education, and job opportunities. However, it also comes with
challenges. City dwellers often face issues like air and noise pollution, overcrowded public transportation,
and a lack of green spaces.
One of the biggest differences between past and present living environments is the way people
interact with their surroundings. In the past, people spent more time outdoors and engaged in activities like
farming, fishing, and hiking. Nowadays, many people spend most of their time indoors, working at desks
or using electronic devices for entertainment. This shift has led to concerns about physical and mental
health, as a sedentary lifestyle can contribute to various health issues.
Despite the benefits of modern urban living, there is a growing movement towards creating
sustainable and green living environments. This includes building eco-friendly homes, creating more parks
and green spaces, and encouraging people to adopt a more active lifestyle. By combining the conveniences
of modern life with the simplicity and sustainability of the past, we can create healthier and more
enjoyable living environments for everyone.
