2. Passage 1 When it comes to the future of technology, artificial intelligence (AI) is undoubtedly one of the most talked-about topics. AI refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think like humans and mimic their actions. The term may also be applied to any machine that exhibits traits associated with a human mind such as learning and problem-solving. Over the past few years, AI has made significant progress in various fields, including healthcare, finance, and transportation. For example, in healthcare, AI-powered systems can analyze medical images to detect diseases at an early stage. In finance, AI algorithms are used to predict market trends and manage risks. However, as AI continues to advance, there are also concerns about its impact on employment and privacy. Some experts argue that AI may replace certain jobs, while others believe it will create new opportunities. Despite the challenges, the potential benefits of AI are enormous, and it is expected to play an even more important role in our daily lives in the future. Question: What is AI?

7. Passage 2 Climate change is a global phenomenon that refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. These shifts may be natural, but since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels (like coal, oil, and gas), which produces heat-trapping gases. The effects of climate change are far-reaching and include rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and disruptions to ecosystems. For instance, melting glaciers contribute to sea level rise, threatening coastal communities. Heatwaves, droughts, and heavy rainfall are becoming more frequent and intense. Climate change also poses risks to human health, agriculture, and water resources. To address this issue, countries around the world have been taking action, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting renewable energy sources, and improving energy efficiency. Individual actions, like using public transportation and reducing waste, can also make a difference in mitigating climate change. Question: What is the main driver of climate change since the 1800s?___
8. Passage 2 Question: Name two effects of climate change.___
9. Passage 2 Question: How do melting glaciers affect coastal communities?___
10. Passage 2 Question: What action do countries take to address climate change?___
11. Passage 2 Question: What can individuals do to help mitigate climate change?___
12. Passage 3 The concept of emotional intelligence (EI) was popularized by psychologists Peter Salovey and John Mayer in the early 1990s. EI is the ability to recognize, understand, and manage our own emotions, as well as the emotions of others. It consists of several components, such as self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills. People with high emotional intelligence are better at handling stress, building relationships, and making sound decisions. They can also communicate effectively and resolve conflicts. Research has shown that EI is a strong predictor of success in both personal and professional life. Unlike IQ, which is relatively fixed, EI can be developed and improved through practice and learning. For example, practicing mindfulness can enhance self-awareness, while active listening can improve empathy. Developing emotional intelligence is essential for personal growth and building healthy relationships with others. Question: Who popularized the concept of EI?___
13. Passage 3 Question: What is EI?___
14. Passage 3 Question: Name two components of EI.___
15. Passage 3 Question: What is a benefit of high EI?___
16. Passage 3 Question: How can EI be improved?___
17. Passage 4 The Industrial Revolution was a period of major industrialization that took place during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It began in Great Britain and spread to other parts of Europe and North America. The revolution was characterized by the transition from hand production methods to machines, new chemical manufacturing and iron production processes, the increasing use of steam power, and the development of machine tools. Key inventions of this period included the steam engine, spinning jenny, power loom, and steam locomotive. These innovations led to the growth of factories, urbanization, and significant changes in society and the economy. The Industrial Revolution marked a shift from agrarian, handicraft economies to ones dominated by machine-based manufacturing. While it brought about increased productivity and economic growth, it also led to poor working conditions, child labor, and environmental pollution in some areas. Despite these challenges, the Industrial Revolution laid the foundation for modern industrial societies. Question: When did the Industrial Revolution take place?___
18. Passage 4 Question: Where did the Industrial Revolution begin?___
19. Passage 4 Question: What was a key characteristic of the Industrial Revolution?___
20. Passage 4 Question: Name one key invention of the period.___
21. Passage 4 Question: What negative effect did the Industrial Revolution have?___
22. Passage 5 Biodiversity, or biological diversity, refers to the variety of life on Earth at all levels, from genes to ecosystems. It includes the diversity of species, genetic diversity within species, and the diversity of ecosystems. Biodiversity is essential for the health of the planet and for human well-being. It provides ecosystem services such as clean air and water, pollination of crops, climate regulation, and natural resources for medicine and food. However, biodiversity is facing serious threats, primarily due to human activities. Habitat destruction, caused by deforestation, urbanization, and agriculture, is a major threat. Other threats include climate change, pollution, invasive species, and overexploitation of natural resources. The loss of biodiversity can have far-reaching consequences, including the disruption of ecosystems and the loss of potential resources for future generations. Conservation efforts, such as protecting natural habitats, establishing protected areas, and promoting sustainable practices, are crucial for preserving biodiversity. Question: What does biodiversity refer to?___
23. Passage 5 Question: Name one ecosystem service provided by biodiversity.___
24. Passage 5 Question: What is a major threat to biodiversity?___
