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 18 to 23.
There are approximately 8,000 species of birds in the world today. However, only a few of
these are widely recognized: sparrows, pigeons, eagles, parrots, and others. So, what about the lesserknown bird species? According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), nearly
one-third of the world's bird species are now at risk of extinction, with some having populations of
fewer than 1,000 individuals. Over the past century, about 150 bird species have gone extinct.
Sadly, when we lose a bird species, we lose a piece of nature's balance. Birds play crucial roles
in various ecosystems, such as controlling insect populations, pollinating plants, and dispersing seeds.
One example is the honeycreeper, a brightly colored bird native to Hawaii. Honeycreepers are
essential pollinators for certain tropical flowers, and their unique feeding habits demonstrate a close
relationship with their habitat.
Efforts are being made to save endangered bird species. In the Galapagos Islands, conservation
programs focus on protecting habitats critical to birds like the Galapagos penguin. In India, special
reserves help protect endangered species like the Great Indian Bustard.
Technology also offers promising tools for bird conservation. Bird-watching apps, for example,
allow scientists and citizens alike to record bird sightings and monitor bird populations. These apps
provide valuable data for conservation efforts and enable people worldwide to appreciate and support
bird diversity.

correct option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 24 to 30.
Protecting Cultural Traditions in a Globalized World
Globalization has connected people from different countries, creating new opportunities but also
posing challenges to traditional cultures. Some cultures and languages have started to disappear as
younger generations adopt modern lifestyles. Experts warn that once a tradition or language is lost, it
becomes very difficult to recover it.
However, efforts are being made to protect and revive these traditions. In some parts of the world,
cultural programs have been introduced to encourage young people to learn their native languages. For
example, schools in some indigenous communities now include traditional music and dance in their
curriculum. In addition, national governments and NGOs are working together to document and preserve
unique customs before they are forgotten.
Technology is also playing a role. Online platforms allow people to share cultural knowledge across
borders, and digital archives are being created to store information about endangered traditions. Although
these efforts are important, experts say that the most effective way to protect traditions is by keeping
them alive through daily practice and teaching them to future generations.
