III. READING - 4. Read the following passage...

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 1 to 5.

What's more important for healthy blood pressure, lowering your sodium intake or increasing calcium? That was the focus of a 1984 newsletter article. It reviewed a study showing higher dietary calcium intake was associated with lower risk of hypertension.

Today, hypertension research would be more likely to look at the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, rather than specific minerals. DASH is an eating pattern that emphasizes foods such as fruits and vegetables, beans, nuts, whole grains and healthful dairy products, which are rich in nutrients that support healthy blood pressure, including potassium, magnesium and calcium. The diet has been consistently shown to lower blood pressure in people with hypertension.

That example shows that rather than focusing on individual nutrients in managing chronic disease risk (like heart disease and diabetes), today we look at the dietary pattern as a whole. This means the overall combination of foods and beverages we consume day in and day out. Individual nutrients don't always give the whole picture. Foods contain complex combinations of nutrients that may interact and be more beneficial together than alone.

"In addition, foods contain thousands of phytochemicals, which may themselves have beneficial effects on health," says Alice H. Lichtenstein, DSc, director of Tufts' HNRCA Cardiovascular Nutrition Laboratory and executive editor of Tufts Health & Nutrition Letter. "Since phytochemicals are not present in the vast majority of nutritional supplements, the only way to ensure we get enough of them is to eat whole foods that constitute a healthy dietary pattern."

III. READING - 5. Read the following passage...

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 1 to 5.

The 'Generation Gap' or 'Intergenerational Divide' has become a ubiquitous term within the debate surrounding workplace equality and diversity in recent years. This has become even more discerning with the rise of a workplace that has four or sometimes five generations under one organizational 'roof'. This myriad of diverse characteristics and individuality creates a management issue in relation to understanding the management of human experiences within the workplace.

Conflict rather than commonality has become a central part of the overarching narrative surrounding intergenerational workplace division. By understanding what the 'generation gap' is and how it impacts workplace organizational culture, organizations will be able to discern avenues of possible change by understanding how businesses can harness the power of commonality by unleashing intergenerational equality. HR practitioners are facing a generational 'time bomb'. By understanding the dynamics of this change and how to better facilitate a process towards change, organizations can overcome the problems that arise from intergenerational conflict within the workplace.

The urban heat island effect

Green spaces in cities mitigate the effects of pollution and can reduce a phenomenon known as the urban heat island effect, which refers to heat trapped in built-up areas.

The urban heat island effect appears in towns and cities as a result of human activity. The heat generated by people, transport, shops and industry is trapped in the narrow roads and concrete structures, unable to escape to the atmosphere. This can bring the temperature in urban areas up 3-4°C higher than the surrounding countryside, and with that comes a vicious cycle.

Increased temperatures in summer leads to an increased demand for cooling. This expands our energy consumption, which in turn intensifies fossil fuel consumption, increasing pollutants in the air and harmful smog on our streets.

Hotter pavements also damage the water cycle. In summer, surface temperatures can be a staggering 50°C hotter than the surrounding air, and that heat is transferred to the rainwater that drains into our sewers, which in turn raises water temperatures as it is released into streams, rivers, and lakes. This can be destructive to aquatic ecosystems, as changes in water temperature can be stressful or even fatal for marine life.
