answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
A new study says Internet access is good for our health. A report from the Oxford Internet Institute in the UK
suggested that being connected to the worldwide web has a positive effect on our well-being. Researchers looked
at data on people's Internet use and mental health from 168 countries. The data was gathered between the years
2006 and 2021. It included information on two million people aged 15 to 99. The research team looked at eight
factors that affect people's well-being. These included life satisfaction, positive experiences and happiness with
social life. The team found that people with Internet access were eight per cent happier than those without web
access.
The research included some surprising conclusions. One was the suggestion that Internet access had a similar,
positive effect to walking in nature. It helps people to learn new things, practice hobbies, watch movies, and make
new friends. However, the research did not look at how social media provoked people's lives. Many recent studies
show that social media is having a negative effect on people's mental health. Researcher Tobias Dienlin said: "The
study cannot contribute to the recent debate on whether or not social media use is harmful, or whether or not
smartphones should be banned at schools." He added that: "Different channels and uses of the Internet have vastly
different effects on well-being."

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 36 to 42.
WHY WE NEED TO PROTECT POLAR BEARS
Polar bears are being increasingly threatened by the effects of climate change, but their disappearance could
have far-reaching consequences. They are uniquely adapted to the extreme conditions of the Arctic Circle, where
temperatures can reach -40°C. One reason for this is that they have up to 11 centimetres of fat underneath their
skin. Humans with comparative levels of adipose tissue would be considered obese and would be likely to suffer
from diabetes and heart disease. Yet the polar bear experiences no such consequences.
A 2014 study by Shi Ping Liu and colleagues sheds light on this mystery. They compared the genetic structure
of polar bears with that of their closest relatives from a warmer climate, the brown bears. This allowed them to
determine the genes that have allowed polar bears to survive in one of the toughest environments on Earth. Liu
and his colleagues found the polar bears had a gene known as APOB, which reduces levels of low-density
lipoproteins (LDLs) - a form of 'bad' cholesterol. In humans, mutations of this gene are associated with increased
risk of heart disease. Polar bears may therefore be an important study model to understand heart disease in
humans.The genome of the polar bear may also provide the solution for another condition, one that particularly
affects our older generation: osteoporosis. This is a disease where bones show reduced density, usually caused by
insufficient exercise, reduced calcium intake or food starvation. Bone tissue is constantly being remodelled,
meaning that bone is added or removed, depending on nutrient availability and the stress that the bone is under.
Female polar bears, however, undergo extreme conditions during every pregnancy. Once autumn comes around,
these females will dig maternity dens in the snow and will remain there throughout the winter, both before and
after the birth of their cubs. This process results in about six months of fasting, where the female bears have to
keep themselves and their cubs alive, depleting their own calcium and calorie reserves.
Despite this, their bones remain strong and dense.Moreover, polar bears can form unusual relationships with
other species, including playing with the dogs used to pull sleds in the Arctic. Remarkably, one hand-raised polar
bear called Agee has formed a close relationship with her owner Mark Dumas to the point where they even swim
together. This is even more astonishing since polar bears are known to actively hunt humans in the wild. If climate
change were to lead to their extinction, this would mean not only the loss of potential breakthroughs in human
medicine, but more importantly, the disappearance of an intelligent, majestic animal.

Bản giao hưởng số 9 của Beethoven được trình diễn tại Vienna nhân kỷ niệm 200 năm buổi biểu diễn đầu tiên.
Buổi ra mắt kiệt tác của Beethoven đã diễn ra tại thủ đô của Áo vào ngày 7 tháng 5 năm 1824. Nhà soạn nhạc
người Đức đã sống và làm việc ở Vienna trong phần lớn cuộc đời mình. Do đó, ông đã sáng tác những tác phẩm
nổi tiếng nhất của mình ở đó. Một thành viên của dàn hợp xướng nói với BBC rằng cô rất vui khi được hát trong
lễ kỷ niệm 200 năm. Cô ấy nói: "Cả thế giới đều có khả năng hát lên thông điệp tình yêu tuyệt vời này. Bạn như
được nâng lên... khi bạn hát." Nhiều người nghĩ Bản giao hưởng số 9 là một trong những tác phẩm âm nhạc vĩ
đại nhất từng được viết. Đây là một trong những tác phẩm cổ điển được công nhận rộng rãi nhất. Chương thứ tư
của bản giao hưởng có tên là Ode to Joy. Cái mà đã mang tính cách mạng cách đây 200 năm vì nó sử dụng một
dàn hợp xướng. Một phiên bản của Ode to Joy là quốc ca của Liên minh Châu Âu. Nó được chơi bởi các dàn
nhạc trên toàn thế giới. Bài Ode đại diện cho hòa bình và sự hiểu biết quốc tế. Một ca sĩ trong dàn hợp xướng
