1 Carefully read the text below and choose the correct answer (A - D) to the 8 points
questions (1.1 – 1.8) related to the text.
Have you ever felt enveloped by a feeling of awe and inspiration after watching a nature
documentary? For centuries, the connection between humans and nature has been a key concern
for people from all cultures, and recently, science has given us some reasons to believe in the
benefits of having a deeper connection with nature. So, what's the connection between humans
and nature?
The human-nature connection has been studied for decades. In the 1980s, developmental
psychologists observed that the tendency to get close to nature is present in young children and
put forward the hypothesis that we are genetically predisposed to seek a connection with nature.
Interestingly, another study revealed that this desire to find a connection with nature was evident
even in representations of nature, such as wall art. Researchers at a hospital in Sweden noted that
while patients had negative reactions to abstract art paintings and decorations, they consistently
responded positively to art that depicted scenes of nature.
Some have suggested that we prefer natural spaces because, originally, they provided us with
everything we needed to prosper and evolve as a species. Whether this preference for nature is
coded in our genes or not is still subject to debate within the scientific community. However,
although we may not fully understand the details of the human-nature affiliation, the beneficial
effects of connecting with nature cannot be denied.
It seems clear that the environment we live in plays an important role in our emotional state
and overall level of happiness. In fact, according to science, natural environments have two major
benefits for our emotions. Firstly, being connected to nature can lead to stress reduction and mood
improvement. Certain studies have found a correlation between exposure to natural stimuli, stress
and anger reduction, and improvement in self-reported psychological well-being and mental
health. Those of us who live in urban environments often find it soothing to spend time in nature
because it gives us a break from the hyper-stimulation of the senses we experience in cities. The
second key emotional benefit of feeling attuned to nature involves enjoying stronger bonds with
others. A better and more relaxed mood translates into a more compassionate attitude that can
improve the quality of our social bonds. Supporting this argument are studies that prove that
exposure to nature by simply watching Planet Earth videos fostered cooperation and altruism
between participants.
Like a domino effect, nature influences our emotions and relationships, and in turn, these affect
our body. For example, being in nature generates emotions like awe, joy, serenity, gratitude, and
inspiration. According to psychologists, these positive emotions build up a range of micro-
moments that over time contribute to good physical health.
Developing a connection with nature can only benefit us, but how can we achieve this in a
world that is increasingly disconnected from it? We don’t need to become hermits and live in a
remote mountain hut. We can simply visit parks and gardens, organise picnics or go on a hiking
or camping holiday.
In fact, simply taking time to consider our connection with nature and what small actions we
can take to improve its quality may bring benefits. To the extent that we can, we should try to
cultivate the natural inclination towards nature in all its manifestations, and let the therapeutic
effect of nature improve the quality and enjoyment of our lives.
(1.1) What have scientists proved not so long ago in terms of humans and 1 point
nature?
A. That humans have total control over nature.
B. That nature has a positive effect on humans.

2 Seven complete sentences have been extracted from the text below. Decide
which sentence (A-I) best fits in each of the gaps (1-7). There are TWO extra
answers that are not needed.
Social media algorithms, artificial intelligence, and our own genetics are among the factors
influencing us beyond our awareness. This raises an ancient question. (1________)
Many of us believe we are masters of our own destiny. However, new research is revealing
the extent to which our behaviour is influenced by our genes.
It reveals how much of our behaviour has a significant biological predisposition. Research
has shown that genes may influence not only our height, eye colour or weight, but also the
vulnerability of our mental health, longevity and intelligence. (2________) Most of these
genes instruct how our brain circuitry is laid down in the womb, and how it functions.
(3________) Circuitry changes exist in their brains that strongly correlate with genes that
predispose for certain health conditions.
We are increasingly facing the prospect that predispositions to more complex behaviours are
similarly wired into our brains. (4________)
There are also other ways our life stories can be passed down through generations, besides
being inscribed in our DNA.
One such study looked at epigenetic changes in mice. Mice love the sweet smell of cherries,
so when a waft of sweet cherries reaches their nose, a pleasure zone in the brain lights up,
motivating them to scurry around and hunt out the treat. (5________) The study found this new
memory was transmitted across the generations. The ‘grandchildren’ of mice were fearful of
cherries, despite not having experienced the electric shocks themselves. This is ongoing
research and novel science, so questions remain about how these mechanisms might apply to
humans.
(6________) There is, thankfully, still room for change. As we learn, new connections form
between nerve cells. As the new skill is practised, or the learning relived, the connections
strengthen and the learning is consolidated into a memory. (7________) We don’t know how
to ride one when we are born, but through trial and error, and a few small crashes along the way,
we can learn to do it.
There’s something beautiful about viewing ourselves as elegant machines. Input from the
world is processed in our unique brains to produce the output that is our behaviour.

A. Take riding a bike, for example.
B. Do we have control over our own lives?
C. We can now view a baby`s brain as it is built, even 20 weeks before

birth.
D. The researchers decided to pair this smell with a mild electric shock, and
the mice quickly learned to freeze in anticipation.
E. We make and strengthen neural connections as we move around our

environment and conjure our perception of the space that surrounds us.
F. Such traits are, to varying degrees, written into our genes — sometimes
thousands of genes working in concert.
G. It looks not at changes to genes themselves, but instead at the “tags”

that are put on genes from life experience, which alter how our genes
are expressed.
H. These include which religion we choose, how we form our political

ideologies, and even how we create our friendships.
I. Of course, it’s not simply the case that our lives are set in stone by the
brain we’re born with or the DNA given to us by our parents.
