It makes you try harder and become more sociable. It teaches you to win and lose well and no longer be
(36) of trying new things - nothing is ever as scary as it seems. When you work hard to (37)

So you're between the ages of thirteen and eighteen. What makes you happy? Some surveys say that most
young people are happiest when they spend time with their family. Others say it's when they're with friends.
Happiness is something different for each of us.
However, there are some things that can help improve our mood when we're feeling unhappy. Experts
believe that exercise can make you a happier person - but how? Exercise releases chemicals in your brain
that are related to a feeling of pleasure. In addition to this, exercise is also good for our physical health. So, if
we know that we're doing something healthy, that should make us even happier!
There's another surprising idea to help make us happier. Although you might think that eating chocolate
is bad for you, it seems that it is good to eat chocolate when we're feeling sad. It's also important to
remember that we can't all be happy all the time. There are times in our lives when things areTUẦN
going well and
we feel good. But we can also be happy for brief moments and we should value these as well. And when you
feel sad, go for a run or eat some chocolate - you'll soon cheer up!

correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.
Right now, an important transformation has already begun and it looks like it will continue for years to
come. China is a country where the population is in movement. At the moment, less than half the population
of China lives in cities, but that situation is changing and it is changing fast.
Traditionally, the majority of the population of China has lived in quiet, rural areas. But industry is
growing so fast that there is constant need for new workers in the city, in factories, construction sites, shops
and offices. Until recently there was no need to build such enormous cities in China. But now there is an
urgent need to build, to build big, tall and fast.
Few Chinese people live in detached or semi-detached houses. So, many large blocks of flats have
appeared in the suburbs of these new Chinese megacities to accommodate the new arrivals. Day by day,
these lively new megacities keep expanding. As cities increase in size, they eat up historic old buildings and
invade the quiet villages nearby.
Luckily, China has already realised the impact that megacities could have on the environment. So they
have started designing and building new 'eco-cities'. In these eco-cities there is an emphasis on clean,
renewable energy. For example, in one eco-city engineers have just started work on the construction of the
world's tallest and greenest skyscrapers, the Phoenix Towers. The idea of these stunning towers is to use
solar power for electricity and to collect rainwater for the use of the residents. Hopefully, with plans like this
China's megacities can be attractive, clean, modern and good for the environment.
