Unit 2
I. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct  answer to each of the
questions.
Women often complain that the men in their lives are not romantic enough. But men sometimes have trouble
expressing their feelings, often resorting to cheesy Hallmark cards or pricey bejeweled baubles to do the job for them. But
there is a far better way to be romantic and it doesn't involve spending a fortune or even opening your mouth.
In the days before courting consisted of hanging out and getting drinks, courting was a formal and dignified
endeavor. Symbols were used to express feelings and thoughts deemed too special for mere words. During the Victorian
Era, a whole romantic language developed around the giving and receiving of flowers. Everything from the type and size
of the flower to the way it was held or presented conveyed layers of meaning and communicated a gentleman's feelings
and intentions. Each bouquet contained a secret message for a lady to eagerly interpret and endlessly dissect.
These days giving flowers has become a somewhat ho-hum cliché. Resurrecting this Victorian tradition will
infuse the gesture with new life and romance and bring back some of the subtly, mystery, and fun of courtship. Your lady
will swoon that you put far more thought into your selection of flowers than grabbing a bouquet out of the case at WalMart. You'll come off as a real gentleman and a hopeless romantic. It can become an amazing tradition you'll both enjoy.
Seriously, women eat this stuff up.
Of course, even women nowadays have forgotten the meanings of flowers. So buy your lady a flower dictionary.
And keep a copy for yourself (it's important that you both use the same reference, as the meanings were never set in stone
and can sometimes vary from book to book). Then, each time you present her with a bouquet, she can search the volume
to find what secret messages you have embedded in the flowers.

MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH
Sustainable cities are inherently more walkable due to the environmental and community-centric principles at
their core. A recent survey showed that of those who identify their community as walkable, 57% described their quality of
life as “high.” People who (24)________in walkable cities also get more daily exercise and therefore experience a higher

degree of cardiovascular health. Increased walkability requires (25)________vehicles on the road, which means less
pollution, which means cleaner, more breathable air.
By contrast, living in today's poorly designed cities is associated with a nearly 40% increase in mood disorders
and a more than 20% increase in anxiety disorders, (26)_______ doubles the risk of schizophrenia and substance abuse.
(27)________, a growing body of science has revealed that access to nature can transform this negative dynamic into a
positive one. Recent studies have shown that people who spend as little as two hours in (28)________ a week report
higher levels of wellbeing compared to those who don't. Sustainable cities can solve for this pressing need by opening up

V. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct option that
best fits each of the numbered blanks from 29 to 33.
When people hear the word "city", they usually imagine concrete, neon signs, and lots of air pollution. Thanks to
some clever and concerned architects, this image is starting to change. The concept of green cities aims to bring some
beauty from rural environments into urban areas. It is not only about looking better though. Green cities are also trying to
improve the efficiency of cities and raise the standard of living for people who stay in them.  
The term "green cities" refers to cities where builders take into account several environmental factors before
those cities are constructed or redesigned. For starters, green cities are designed to be more physically appealing than
traditional cities from the past. In addition, the mobility of citizens should be considered, so public transportation can be
more convenient and travel time to work can be reduced. Energy sources should also be evaluated with the goal of
minimizing
air
pollution. 
When it comes to going green, the city of Barcelona is far ahead of its time. Since 1859, its designers have
consciously tried to create sustainable urban designs. Then in 1992, the city received a well-deserved makeover before
hosting the Olympic Games. In recent years, Barcelona has upgraded its transportation system. This has reduced air
pollution and more workers are using public transportation instead of their own vehicles. It also boasts one of the best
recycling programs in the world. Visitors will find clear color coded trash bins throughout the city where they can put all
of their materials.
