Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of
the question.
Millions of people in the UK are putting their sight at risk by continuing to smoke, warned
specialists. Despite the clear connection, only one in five people recognise that smoking can lead
to blindness, a poll for the Association of Optometrists (AOP) finds. Smokers are twice as likely
to lose their sight compared with non-smokers, as tobacco smoke can cause and worsen a
number of eye conditions.
Cigarette smoke contains toxic chemicals that can irritate and harm the eyes. Additionally,
Smoking can make diabetes-related sight problems worse by damaging blood vessels at the back
of the eye. Smokers are also around three times more likely to get age-related macular
degeneration - a condition affecting a person's central vision, meaning that they lose their ability
to see fine details. Moreover, they are 16 times more likely than non-smokers to develop sudden
loss of vision caused by optic neuropathy, where the blood supply to the eye becomes blocked.
The AOP says stopping or avoiding smoking is one of the best steps you can take to protect your
vision, along with having regular sight checks. Aishah Fazlanie, Optometrist and Clinical and
Regulatory Adviser for the AOP, said: "People tend to know about the link between smoking
and cancer, but many people are not aware of the impact that smoking can have upon the eyes.”
In the UK, 17% of men and 13% of women - around 7.4 million people - are smokers. More
than half (61%) of them say they want to quit. In 2017, around 2.8 million people - 5.5% of the
UK - were using e-cigarettes, and the most common reason given for this was to help quit
smoking.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of
the question.
It is estimated that by 2050 more than two thirds of the world's population will live in cities, up
from about 54 percent today. While the many benefits of organized and efficient cities are well
understood, we need to recognize that this rapid, often unplanned urbanization brings risks of
profound social instability, risks to critical infrastructure, potential water crises and the
potential for devastating spread of disease. These risks can only be further exacerbated as this
unprecedented transition from rural to urban areas continues.
How effectively these risks can be addressed will increasingly be determined by how well cities
are governed. The increased concentration of people, physical assets, infrastructure and
economic activities mean that the risks materializing at the city level will have far greater
potential to disrupt society than ever before.
Urbanization is by no means bad by itself. It brings important benefits for economic, cultural
and societal development. Well-managed cities are both efficient and effective, enabling
economies of scale and network effects while reducing the impact on climate of transportation.
As such, an urban model can make economic activity more environmentally-friendly. Further,
the proximity and diversity of people can spark innovation and create employment as
exchanging ideas breeds new ideas.
But these utopian concepts are threatened by some of the factors driving rapid urbanization. For
example, one of the main factors is rural-urban migration, driven by the prospect of greater
employment opportunities and the hope of a better life in cities. But rapidly increasing
population density can create severe problems, especially if planning efforts are not sufficient to
cope with the influx of new inhabitants. The result may, in extreme cases, be widespread
poverty. Estimates suggest that 40% of the world's urban expansion is taking place in slums,
exacerbating socio-economic disparities and creating unsanitary conditions that facilitate the
spread of disease.
The Global Risks 2015 Report looks at four areas that face particularly daunting challenges in
the face of rapid and unplanned urbanization: infrastructure, health, climate change, and social
instability. In each of these areas, we find new risks that can best be managed or, in some cases,
transferred through the mechanism of insurance.
