VI. READING
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Almost everyone's exercise habits changed when the Covid-19 started. Data from more than 400,000 users of
smartphone step-counting apps concluded that around the world, average daily steps declined by about 27 percent by
the end of the first month. The more dramatic drop in the time people spent working out was observed among those
who had been the most active before the pandemic.
After the lockdowns were lifted, most people began exercising again. However, in general, only those older than 65
exceeded the previous minutes of taking part in physical activities. On average, they added 20 minutes more to the
time they had usually spent on regular exercise. Older people probably had more free time for exercise than younger
adults who are trying to deal with child care, work and many other responsibilities. Moreover, with old age as a
condition of Covid-19 cases and deaths, it stands to psychological reason that older people might have worried more
about their general health, motivating them to get up and do activities that improve their fitness.
A study has also shown that since the lockdown measures were adopted, many people reached their general
practitioners to ask about the appropriate intensity of physical activities that they could do at home. The doctors made a
list of light activities that one could do at home and reduce time spent sitting or lying down and break up long periods
of not being able to do moderate and high intensity activities. The list contains moving around their home, cleaning
and dusting, making the bed and walking at a slow pace.
1. Which of the following is not the conclusion of the research mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. People who had been more energetic before the pandemic became more inactive during the first month of
lockdown.
B. On average, the number of steps people took decreased by about 27% in the first month of lockdown.
C. More than 400,000 people downloaded smartphone step-counting apps so they could join the research.
D. People's exercise habits changed after the lockdown measures were implemented.
2. The underlined word exceeded in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
A. passed B. cut C. took D. shortened
3. Because age is a factor contributing to the Covid-19 deaths, old adults___________
A. have more time to do exercise B. don't have so many responsibilities in life
C. no longer want to work D. are driven into improving their health
4. According to doctors,______________ are suitable to be done at home during lockdowns.
A. light activities C. high intensity activities
B. moderate intensity activities D. none of the listed activities
5. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Why older people tend to do more physical activities after the pandemic lockdowns.
B. How the pandemic is changing old people's exercise habits.
C. What was the most affected age group when the lockdown measures were used.
D. What are the appropriate activities to do at home during the pandemic lockdowns.
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 6 to 12.

pg. 7
 In today’s society, the concepts of nuclear and extended families play a crucial role in shaping the social and
cultural dynamics of communities. Both family structures have their unique characteristics, advantages, and challenges,
influencing how individuals experience family life and social interactions.
A nuclear family, often referred to as an immediate family, typically consists of two parents and their children
living together in a single household. This family structure is common in Western societies and is often associated with
modern, urban lifestyles. The primary advantage of a nuclear family is the close-knit bond it fosters among its
members. Parents can provide focused attention and resources to their children, helping them develop a strong sense of
independence and self-reliance. In a nuclear family, decision-making tends to be more straightforward, with fewer
individuals involved. This can lead to quicker resolutions of conflicts and a more cohesive family unit. Additionally,
nuclear families often have greater mobility, allowing them to relocate easily for work or other opportunities.
However, the nuclear family structure can also present challenges. The lack of extended support can place significant
pressure on parents to fulfill all caregiving and financial responsibilities, potentially leading to stress and burnout.
An extended family includes not only the immediate family members but also relatives such as grandparents, aunts,
uncles, and cousins. This family structure is prevalent in many cultures around the world, particularly in Asia, Africa,
and Latin America. Extended families often live in close proximity or even under the same roof, creating a strong
support network. One of the main advantages of an extended family is the shared responsibilities among family
members. Childcare, household chores, and financial burdens can be distributed more evenly, reducing stress on any
single individual. Moreover, children in extended families benefit from the diverse perspectives and wisdom of
multiple adults, fostering a rich cultural and educational environment. However, extended families can also face
challenges. The larger number of family members can lead to more frequent conflicts and disagreements, particularly
regarding decision-making and resource allocation. Additionally, maintaining privacy and personal space can be
difficult in a crowded household.
Both nuclear and extended families offer distinct advantages and face unique challenges. The nuclear family
promotes close bonds and independence but may lack sufficient support during times of need. On the other hand, the
extended family provides a robust support system and diverse cultural experiences but can struggle with conflicts and
privacy issues. Understanding these differences is essential for appreciating the various ways families contribute to the
social fabric of society. Regardless of the structure, the fundamental importance of family remains a cornerstone of
human life, providing love, support, and a sense of belonging.

Question 7: The word “mobility” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.

A. children B. parents C. lifestyles D. individuals
Question 9: The word “distributed” in paragraph 3 is opposite in meaning to ______.
A. gathered B. allocated C. collected D. centralized
Question 10: Why might nuclear families experience more stress compared to extended families, according to the
passage?
A. They have fewer family members to share responsibilities.
B. They encounter more frequent conflicts.
C. They lack a strong support network.
D. They face more complicated decision-making processes.

A. Nuclear families can easily relocate for work or other opportunities.
B. Extended families often face fewer conflicts and disagreements.
C. Nuclear families may experience stress due to lack of extended support.
