Read the text and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.

What is an ecosystem?

An ecosystem is an area where living things, such as plants and animals, as well as non-living things, like weather and landscapes, work together to provide suitable living conditions. As living and non-living things depend on one another, any change to a member of the ecosystem may lead to changes to other elements. This also means that damage to one part of the ecosystem will lead to serious consequences for other parts.

While large national parks or nature reserves often come to mind when people think of an ecosystem, an ecosystem (and even ecosystems) could be found in very small areas, such as a garden or a pond. In a pond, for instance, animals such as frogs and fish live together with water plants, and depend on each other as well as on the water, humidity, and temperature to survive and grow. Large areas where different ecosystems can be found are called biomes. Examples of biomes include oceans, rainforests, and deserts.

Since our appearance on Earth, we have interacted with as well as depended on different ecosystems. However, we have also taken over many ecosystems and destroyed many of them. For example, many of the Amazon rainforests have been cut down, leading to loss of balance in the ecosystem. As we are part of the ecosystem, we also suffer from the damage we are causing to it. For instance....

D. Living and non-living things only depend on the weather to survive.

25. Ecosystems can be found in all of the followings, except in

A. national parks     B. nature reserves         C. gardens        D. frogs and fish

26. A biome is best defined as

A. another word for 'ecosystem'

B. a geographic area made up of more than one ecosystem 

C. a garden or pond with living and non-living things

D. a forest, river, or reef

A. give an example of a damaged ecosystem 

B. show how ecosystems are protected 

C. give an example of an ecosystem

Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions. 

When it comes to preparations for studying abroad, the very first challenge for students is how to live independently. Stepping out of their comfort zone to live and study in a faraway country often ingrains an obscure fear of loneliness and helplessness. Therefore, if you have a plan to earn a degree in a foreign country, you need to equip yourselves with essential skills to start a truly independent life as soon as possible. First and foremost, you do not need to be an excellent cook but should know basic cooking skills to feed yourselves. Suppose that you experienced a pandemic period, you would have to cook at home due to social distancing and most restaurant closures. Second, clean-up and household skills are of equal importance. To lower accommodation costs, many students often choose to share apartments with other mates. Definitely, no one wants to stay with those who are untidy and do not know how to do simple household tasks, so make sure that you can do daily housework well enough. Third, money management is a challenging task for most overseas students. Some students are often flat broke at the end of the month because they cannot handle their budget. It's advisable to be a smart shopper by making a suitable shopping list and keeping an accurate record of your daily expenses to avoid pointless debt. In short, the pieces of advice will hopefully make your independent life easier when you go to university in another country. 

24. What is the passage mainly about?

A. How to face loneliness and helplessness at home

B. Ways to gain independence while studying abroad

C. Overseas students and problems with additional expenses

D. Young students' adjustment to sharing an apartment

A. Cooking skills                B. Clean-up skills 

C. Communication skills    D. Budget management skills

27. According to the passage, who might be short of money at the end of the month?

A. Students who buy a lot of learning materials and clothes 

B. Students who live on foreign scholarships

C. Students who eat out frequently

D. Students who are incapable of managing their budget 

28. Which of the following is true about the passage?

A. Students must be excellent cooks when living abroad.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions.

It is common for all of us to take more tasks than our desired potential. This can often result in stress and tiredness. Learn the art of sharing work with your partners based on their skills and abilities. Before the start of the day, make a list of tasks that need your immediate attention as unimportant tasks can consume much of your precious time. Some tasks need to be completed on that day only while other unimportant tasks could be carried forward to next day. In short, prioritize your tasks to focus on those that are more important.

Carry a planner or notebook with you and list all the tasks that come to your mind. Make a simple "To Do" list before the start of the day, prioritize the tasks, and make sure that they are attainable. To better manage your time-management skills, you may think of making 3 lists: work, home, and personal. Stress often occurs when we accept more work than our ability. The result is that our body starts feeling tired which can affect our productivity. Instead, share tasks with your partners and make sure to leave some time for relaxation.

Most of the successful men and women have one thing in common. They start their day early as it gives them time to sit, think, and plan their day.
