Human activities increasingly emit greenhouse gases, which build up in the atmosphere and
warm the climate and lead to many changes around the world: in the atmosphere, on land and in
the oceans. Many of these changes have positively and negatively affected people, society and
the environment, including plants and animals. Major greenhouse gases remain in the
atmosphere for dozens (and even hundreds) of years, so their warming effects on the climate last
for a long time, affecting both present and future generations. Climate change encompasses not
only global warming, i.e., the rising average temperature, but also extreme weather events,
shifting wildlife populations and habitats, rising seas and various other impacts. Warmer
temperatures mean that there are more and more insects spreading diseases and that heat waves
are getting more lethal to humans. Droughts and floods resulting from climate change also pose
great threats to agriculture. A recent study shows that for every rise of one-degree Celsius crop
yields will go down 3 to 7 percent, severely affecting food insecurity.

Geocaching holds an appeal to teachers and students. It offers a wide variety of physical, social
and educational benefits. It goes without saying that geocaching makes its participants physically
active. Geocaches are used as a form of point-to-point racing. What distinguishes geocaching
from other races is its self-pace. It caters individual needs of physical activity and fitness.
Participants can start slowly for geocaches within short distances before moving to next levels
with cache sites over longer distances. Varying the environment in which caches are hunted is an
excellent way to build and maintain motivation. The sense of achievement and adventure in
finding a geocache also brings psychological benefits. Keeping fit by geocaching is of endless
interest thanks to its variations in locations, distances and intensity. Additionally, geocaching
offers the camaraderie that comes with belonging and being part of a group with common
interests. There are now online communities of geocachers who are more than willing to discuss
and exchange their geocaching stories. Such communities also organise local events to socialise
and talk about their interests. Well designed, geocaching encourages group problem solving and
fosters improved group communication. In terms of education, the benefits of geocaching simply
know no bounds. It offers an ideal tool to enrich students’ knowledge, arouse their interest and
curiosity and combine learning with physical exercise. A wellplanned geocaching activity in a
historical site exploits students’ foreknowledge and urges them to explore new information.
Above all, it naturally integrates soft skills into an academic lesson. All in all, geocaching is an
excellent tool for educators and students.

passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions. There is a common misconception that working out every day will yield
faster and better results. While consistent exercise is vital for progress, the body also requires
adequate time to rest and recover. Overtraining can lead to fatigue, decreased performance, and
an increased risk of injury. It is essential to strike a balance between challenging workouts and
allowing sufficient recovery time for muscles to repair and grow stronger. In reality, the duration
and intensity of workouts should be tailored to individual fitness levels and goals. Quality
workouts that target different muscle groups and incorporate cardiovascular exercises can be
more effective than simply increasing the quantity of training sessions. Some people believe that
working out every day causes them to indulge in unhealthy eating habits or neglect other aspects
of their well-being. While exercise is a crucial component of a healthy lifestyle, it should be
complemented by a balanced diet, sufficient sleep, and stress management. Neglecting these
other factors can hinder overall health and fitness progress. Moreover, working out every day
does not guarantee weight loss or body transformation. While exercise contributes to calorie
burning and muscle development, weight loss also depends on factors like diet, genetics, and
overall lifestyle habits. A holistic approach that combines regular exercise with a nutritious diet
and healthy habits is key to achieving sustainable results. 26. Which of the following can be the
best title for the passage? A. Debunking Myths About Daily Workouts B. The Benefits of
Working Out Every Day C. Maximising Results with Daily Exercise D. The Importance of Rest
in Fitness Training 27. According to paragraph 2, how intense your workouts should be is
determined by _____. A. the number of training sessions per week B. individual fitness levels
and goals C. the duration of each workout D. the quantity of cardiovascular exercises 28. The
word "it" in paragraph 3 refers to _____. A. working out every day B. rest and recovery C.
overtraining D. fatigue and decreased performance 29. The word “holistic” in paragraph 4 mostly
means _____. A. focused and specific B. comprehensive and all-encompassing C. intensive and
rigorous D. varied and diverse 30. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the
passage? A. Consistent exercise is essential for progress. B. Overtraining can lead to fatigue and
decreased performance. C. Working out every day guarantees weight loss. D. A balanced diet and
sufficient sleep are important for overall health
