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 31 to 35.
Obviously, regular exercise can help you improve your strength, stay in good shape, and prevent dangerous diseases. But did you know that aside from its physical effects, staying active can also offer
you a wide range of mental benefits?
When faced with mental or emotional challenges in life, exercise can help you build resilience and cope in a healthy way, instead of resorting to alcohol, drugs, or other negative behaviours that only
worsen your symptoms. It also releases endorphins, powerful chemicals in your brain that energize your spirits and make you feel good. In addition, physical activity can also serve as a distraction,
allowing you to find some quiet time to break the cycle of negative thoughts that feed mental health problems like depression.
Even if you are feeling just fine and not suffering from mental health issues, regular exercise can still give you another advantage: a sharper, more active brain. This is because the same endorphins
that make you feel better also help you concentrate and feel mentally sharp for tasks at hand. Exercise also stimulates the growth of new brain cells and helps prevent age-related memory decline.
And of course, leading an active lifestyle will significantly boost your self-confidence. Regular activity is an investment in your mind, body, and soul. And when it becomes a habit, it can develop
your sense of self-worth and make you feel strong and powerful. You’ll feel better about your appearance, and by meeting exercise goals, you’ll also feel a sense of achievement and success.

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 36 to 42.
Although her mother constantly complains about it, Beijing resident Lili is not planning to have children any time soon. “I have very few peers who have children, and if they do, they’re obsessed
about getting the best nanny or enrolling the kids in the best schools. It sounds exhausting.” And she is not alone: her opinion reflects the changing attitudes of many young urban Chinese toward
having children.
A national census showed that around 12 million babies were born in 2020, which is a significant decrease from 18 million in 2016, and the lowest number recorded since the 1960s.
And while the overall population grew, it moved at the slowest pace in decades, adding to worries that China may face a severe population decline. This is problematic due to the inverted age
structure, with more old people than young. When that happens, there won’t be enough workers in the future to support old people, and demand for health and social care for them will increase.
Although lower birth rates tend to fall when countries become more developed as people focus more on their education or career, experts say that China’s situation could be uniquely exacerbated
given the number of men who are finding it difficult to even find a wife. Last year, there were 34.9 million more males than females. Such a severe gender imbalance in the country was a
consequence of the country’s strict one-child policy, which led to people aborting or abandoning their children because of their sex, in a culture that historically favours boys over girls.

Experts also pointed out the lack of policy changes from the government that support family life - such as financial support for education or access to childcare facilities. And many people simply
cannot afford to raise children amid the rising costs of living. Additionally, women may also be afraid of having kids because this may affect their career prospects. “The reality is that there aren’t
many good jobs out there for women, and the women who do have good jobs will want to do whatever it takes to keep them. Who would dare have kids in this situation?” one person asked on
Chinese social media platform Weibo.
However, because getting married and having children is still the norm in Chinese society, there is hope for change, provided that there are more measures to support families in childcare and
education. Even Lili may be convinced to change her mind. “If it becomes less competitive for kids to get the resources they need, I might feel more mentally ready and less stressed about having a
child,” she said.
