As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation Once you are in

the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning to night, it is hard to slow down But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body

Stress is a natural part of every life and there is no way to avoid it In fact, it is not the bad thing

it is often supposed to be A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give

purpose to life It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health

The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties When exposed to stress

in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically In fact we make choice between "fight"

or "flight", and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death The crises we meet today are not likely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the

same response It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress that

health becomes endangered Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (and it would be

unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it

A they do not know how to enjoy themselves

B they do not believe that relaxation is important for health

D they are becoming busier their work

his _

A not fearing stress

B high sense of responsibility

A We can find some ways to avoid stress

B Stress is always harmful to people

C It’s easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work

D Different people can withstand different amount of stress

A making a choice between "fight" or "flight"

B reaction to stress both chemically and physically

C responding to crises quickly

D losing heart at die signs of difficulties

Question 35 In the last sentence of the passage, "do so" refers to _

The Socialist Republic of Vietnam has stood out as one such example of how to effectively respond to the pandemic Vietnam, which shares a border with China and is about 1, 200 miles from where the outbreak was first reported in Wuhan, has overcome steep odds in the global fight against COVID-19 As of April 6, the Vietnamese government has reported 245 confirmed cases with 95 recoveries and no fatalities

The country's response to the outbreak has received international recognition, including from the World Health Organization and World Economic Forum, for its comprehensive, low-cost model

of disease prevention WHO representative in Vietnam, Dr Ki Dong Park, attests the government

“has always been proactive and prepared for necessary actions"

The Communist Party of Vietnam has strengthened its anti-pandemic measures by implementing nationwide social distancing rules, such as banning outside gatherings of more than two people while keeping a distance of 6 5 feet, and temporary shutdowns of '’non-essential’’ businesses, including restaurants, entertainment centers and tourist sites

Supermarkets and other essential services remain open, but are instructed to safeguard

customers’ health by checking their temperatures before entering the building and providing them with hand sanitizers In addition, the government has warned against panic buying and has taken action against businesses engaged in price gouging To ensure social security for affected

workers, Vietnam has approved a 111 55 million dollar financial support package that includes covering all costs for workers in quarantine or are recovering from the disease

Unlike the U S capitalist class and the Trump administration, the Vietnamese government took early measures to combat the current coronavirus epidemic Officials began preparing strategies

to combat the outbreak immediately after the first cases emerged in China

On February 1 Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc signed Decision No l73 QD-TTG,

categorizing the virus as a Class A contagious disease "that can transmit very rapidly and

spread widely with high mortality rates " This declaration of a national emergency came after the sixth case of coronavirus in the country was reported In contrast, the Trump administration only declared a national emergency over the global pandemic on March 13, when there were at least

1, 920 confirmed cases across 46 states

The Urban Gardener

Cities are home to skyscrapers and apartment buildings, and it's rare to find wide, open spaces within them With limited space for parks and gardens, architects and city planners often find it challenging to incorporate greenery into neighbourhoods

One creative solution is to grow plants on unused areas like walls or rooftops It's a popular idea, and now rooftop gardens and green walls have been spouting up in cities around the world There are many benefits to having green spaces to the urban landscape Adding gardens to rooftops

or walls can create a pleasant environment - what was once a grey cement wall can become a colourful, blooming garden The CaxiaForum art gallery in Madrid, Spain, is a famous example - one of its walls is covered with 15,000 plants from over 250 different species

In other cities, green walls are being used more functionally, to cover up construction sites and empty buildings and to prominently decorate the lobbies of office buildings Using plants to cover walls and rooftops can also keep cities cooler in the summer Buildings and roads absorb the sun's heat and hold it, causing a building or neighbourhood to stay warmer longer Plants, on the other hand, provide an enormous amount of shade There is evidence that growing a roof or wall garden can lower a building's energy costs Many cities offer tax discounts to businesses with these features In Ne City, public schools plant rooftop gardens that can reduce heating and cooling costs

In addition to saving the school money, teachers and parents love the gardens because of their educational value - it's a fun and healthy way for their kids to investigate the world around them “For the children, it's exciting when you grow something edible," said Lauren Fontana, principal of a New York public school

These green spaces are also used to grow food In recent years, rooftop gardens have slowly been included in the "local food movement" This is based on the concept that locally grown food

reduces pollution since it does not have to be transported far Vegetables are being grown in rooftop gardens by schools, churches, neighbourhoods and even restaurants Chef Rick Bayless serves

“Rooftop S his restaurant in Chicago, USA, using only ingredients grown in his rooftop garden Rooftop gardens and green walls may require a bit more effort to grow and maintain However, hard work always brings rewards, and with green spaces, the rewards are plentiful

Question 44 What is this passage mainly about?

A gardens in Madrid, New York, and Chicago

B people growing plants on roofs and walls

C private gardens in the city's unused spaces

D how to grow your own food in the city

Question 45 According to the passage, people _ as cities have little space for gardens

A grow plants in their apartments B go to the countryside at the weekends

A It is the most expensive green wall in the world

B It is located on the side of a government building

SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERIES

A satellite is best understood as a projectile, or an object that has only one force acting on gravity Technically speaking, anything that crosses the Karman Line at an altitude of kilometers (62 miles) is considered in space However, a satellite needs to be going fast — at least 8 km (5 miles) a second - to stop from falling back down to Earth immediately

If a satellite is traveling fast enough, it will perpetually "fall" toward Earth, but the Earth's

curvature means that the satellite will fall around our planet instead of crashing back on the surface Satellites that travel closer to Earth are at risk of falling because the drag of atmospheric molecules

will slow the satellites down Those that orbit farther away from Earth have fewer molecules to

contend with

There are several accepted "zones" of orbits around the Earth One is called low-Earth-orbit, which extends from about 160 to 2,000 km (about 100 to 1,250 miles) This is the zone where the ISS orbits and where the space shuttle used to do its work In fact, all human missions except for the Apollo flights to the moon took place in this zone Most satellites also work in this zone

Geostationary or geosynchronous orbit is the best spot for communications satellites to use, however This is a zone above Earth's equator at an altitude of 35,786 km (22,236 mi) At this altitude, the rate of "fall" around the Earth is about the same as Earth's rotation, which allows the satellite to stay above the same spot on Earth almost constantly The satellite thus keeps a perpetual connection with a fixed antenna on the ground, allowing for reliable communications When geostationary satellites reach the end of their life, protocol dictates they're moved out of the way for a new satellite to take their place That's because there is only so much room, or so many "slots"

in that orbit, to allow the satellites to operate without interference

While some satellites are best used around the equator, others are better suited to more polar orbits - those that circle the Earth from pole to pole so that their coverage zones include the north and south poles Examples of polar-orbiting satellites include weather satellites and reconnaissance satellites

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

The British are particular about timings and being late is frowned upon, but being on time

is a complicated matter because in some situations, being a few minutes early on others means being exactly on time and in some instances, it is completely acceptable to arrive 10 minutes to a few hours later than the stated time This can be a minefield for someone who is new to the UK,

so here are some basic rules that will help you get your timing right whatever the situation

In formal meetings, such as job interviews, you should arrive at least five minutes before

your meeting This will give you time to compose yourself before your big meeting In the UK,

arriving late for a formal meeting is seen as unprofessional and will reflect badly on you If you are running late, ring your host to let them know you will be late On arrival, apologize sincerely and offer a reason for your lateness, such as you got lost or the train was delayed It will help you redeem yourself However, if you are late because you set off later than you should have, it's wise

to keep that to yourself!

If you have been invited to a dinner party, you should arrive exactly on time as the host will have planned when they will serve the food You will find that your host will serve their guests a pre-dinner drink, so that gives you a bit of wiggle room, but if you are running later than 10 minutes,

you should ring your host and let them know how late you might be That way they can decide

whether to go ahead and serve the other guests When you arrive you should offer the host and the other guests your apology for being late
