Reading comprehension 1: Read the passage below and choose A, B, C, or D to answer

The concept of renewable energy has gained significant traction as concerns about climate
change and environmental sustainability continue to grow. Renewable energy sources, such
as wind, solar, and hydroelectric power, offer a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels and are
becoming increasingly common in many parts of the world.
One of the key advantages of renewable energy is its ability to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions, which contribute to global warming. Wind turbines and solar panels generate
electricity without emitting carbon dioxide, making them an eco-friendly choice for power
generation. Additionally, renewable energy can enhance energy security by diversifying the
energy supply and reducing reliance on imported fuels.
However, there are challenges associated with renewable energy, including the intermittent
nature of some sources and the high initial costs of installation. For example, solar power
relies on sunlight, which can be inconsistent, and wind power depends on wind availability.
Despite these challenges, advancements in technology and decreasing costs are making
renewable energy more viable and accessible.
Dr. Laura Smith, an energy analyst at the Renewable Energy Institute, emphasizes that while
renewable energy presents some challenges, the long-term benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
“Investing in renewable energy is crucial for achieving long-term sustainability and reducing
our impact on the environment,” she notes.
Overall, the shift towards renewable energy represents a significant step towards a more
sustainable and environmentally friendly future, though continued efforts are needed to
address existing challenges and improve efficiency.

The importance of mental health has gained increasing recognition in recent years as more
people understand its impact on overall well-being. Mental health encompasses emotional,
psychological, and social well-being, affecting how individuals think, feel, and act. It
influences how people handle stress, relate to others, and make decisions.
Mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder, can significantly
disrupt daily life and diminish quality of life if not properly managed. Recognizing the signs
and symptoms of mental health problems is crucial for seeking timely help and support.
Common signs include persistent sadness, excessive worry, changes in sleep patterns, and
withdrawal from social activities. Early intervention and access to appropriate treatment can
make a substantial difference in managing these conditions effectively.
Various strategies can help maintain and improve mental health. Regular physical exercise, a
balanced diet, and adequate sleep contribute to emotional stability and resilience.
Additionally, engaging in activities that bring joy and fulfillment, such as hobbies or
socializing with loved ones, plays a vital role in mental well-being. Practicing mindfulness
and relaxation techniques, such as meditation and deep-breathing exercises, can also help
manage stress and enhance emotional health.
Organizations and institutions are increasingly focusing on mental health awareness and
support. Many workplaces now offer employee assistance programs, counseling services, and
mental health days to help employees manage stress and mental health issues. Schools and
universities are also incorporating mental health education into their curricula to promote
awareness and provide resources for students.
Dr. Emily Harris, a clinical psychologist, emphasizes the importance of breaking the stigma
surrounding mental health. “Open conversations about mental health can help individuals feel
more comfortable seeking help and accessing necessary resources,” she says.
In conclusion, understanding and prioritizing mental health is essential for leading a fulfilling
and balanced life. By recognizing mental health issues, utilizing available resources, and
adopting healthy habits, individuals can enhance their overall well-being and resilience.
