Part 2: Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question (5.0 pts)

Cities Get Clean by Going Green The term “green cities” refers to cities where builders take into account several environmental factors before that city is constructed or redesigned For starters, green cities are designed to be more physically appealing than traditional cities from the past In addition, the mobility of citizens should be considered, so public transportation can be more convenient and travel time to work can be reduced Energy sources should also be evaluated with the goal of minimizing air pollution

When it comes to going green, the city of Barcelona is far ahead of its time Since 1859, its designers have consciously tried to create sustainable urban designs Then in 1992, the city received a well-deserved makeover before hosting the Olympic Games In recent years, Barcelona has upgraded its transportation system This has reduced air pollution as more and more workers are using public transportation instead of their own vehicles Barcelona also boasts one of the best recycling programs in the world Visitors will find clear, color-coded trash bins throughout the city where they can put all of their materials

Portland, Oregon is one of the greenest cities in the US Since 1903, it has been an example of what American cities can accomplish with careful planning Instead of filling its area with office buildings, Portland has plenty of green space for activities There are 119 kilometers of running, hiking, and bike trails that allow citizens

to experience the great outdoors The city also offers residents creative energy plans that give them the opportunity to pay a bit extra for clean energy sources For about $3 to $9 extra each month, homeowners can choose solar or wind power and help the environment

These are only a small sampling of the green cities around the world As more people experience the pleasure of visiting green cities, it seems certain that the trend of urban areas going green will continue far into the future

What does the term “mobility” in the passage mean?

All of the following are true about Barcelona EXCEPT that

visitors can put all the trash in one colorful trash bin

more people have used public transportation

air pollution has been reduced

it boasts one of the best recycling programs in the world

The word “they” in the passage refers to

Which of the following people would most enjoy living in Portland?

Someone who wants expensive energy solutions D Someone who enjoys exercising outside

How does the author seem to feel about the future of green cities?

Green cities are too expensive to build in most countries

We should continue to see more green cities being built each year

Few people have interest in living in a green city

The best green cities in the world are in North America

Part 3: Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question (5.0 pts)

Poor sitting posture Scientists are beginning to understand that sitting down for long hours can be very bad for your health One of the reasons for this is that poor posture leads to health problems Here is some advice to help improve your posture and your health

Sitting with poor posture can lead to serious chronic back pain that doesn’t go away Many people wrongly believe that they should sit with their backs straight at a 90-degree angle to the floor Scientists, however, have recently found that this actually causes more stress on the body They found that sitting with the back slightly reclined at a 135-degree angle is the healthiest posture The back muscles are more relaxed and the spine is at

a more natural resting position

Many people develop constant neck pain while sitting They bend their necks forward to look at a screen or read a book The lower neck muscles need to work very hard to support the weight of the head The bones in the spine can slide forward, causing a great deal of neck pain To avoid this problem, you should try to look at the top portion of a computer screen when working at a desk Your elbows should be at the side and your feet should be flat on the floor

You should also try to occasionally stop work and do some stretching exercises Put your hands behind your back and bring your chest forward slowly Take a deep breath and relax You could also try to work while standing up Finally, you can try to buy a special kind of chair that is built to improve sitting posture

1 What is the passage mainly about?

2 According to the article, what can a poor sitting posture cause?
