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 24 to 30.
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 lesser-known
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.

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

correct option that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 31 to 37.
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.
