8. Reading comprehension - 5 questions
Page 7/9
Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions.
In today’s fast-paced world, maintaining a healthy lifestyle has become more important than ever
before. A healthy lifestyle involves making conscious choices about what we eat, how much we exercise and
how we prioritise sleep. By adopting healthy habits, we can prevent chronic diseases, improve our physical
and mental health, and live a happier and more fulfilling life.
A balanced diet is the foundation of a healthy lifestyle. Eating a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole
grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats can provide the essential nutrients needed to maintain good health.
Processed foods, sugary drinks, and saturated fats should be avoided as they can lead to obesity, heart
disease, and other chronic illnesses.
Regular exercises are also crucial for a healthy lifestyle. They help in strengthening muscles and
bones, improving cardiovascular health, and reducing the risk of chronic diseases. Exercises also release
endorphins, which are natural mood boosters and can help reduce stress levels. Experts recommend at least
30 minutes of moderate intensity exercises per day for adults.
Adequate sleep is another important aspect of a healthy lifestyle. Getting 7-8 hours of sleep per night
can improve cognitive function, enhance memory, and promote physical and emotional health. A regular
sleep routine, avoiding caffeine and electronics before bedtime, and creating a relaxing sleep environment
can help improve sleep quality.
In conclusion, a healthy lifestyle requires a balanced diet, regular exercises and adequate sleep. By
making small changes to our lifestyle, we can significantly reduce the risk of chronic diseases, improve our
physical and mental health, and live a happier and more fulfilling life. It is essential to prioritise healthy
habits and make them a part of our daily routine.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Family conflicts are an inherent part of human relationships, stemming from the diverse
personalities, perspectives, and dynamics within a family unit. These conflicts can arise due to various
factors, including differences in values, communication styles, and expectations.
One common source of family conflict is different values and beliefs. Each family member may have
their own set of values and principles, influenced by their upbringing, personal experiences, and social
influences. These differences can lead to disagreements, particularly when it comes to important decisions or
lifestyle choices.
Communication breakdowns also contribute to family conflicts. Ineffective communication, whether
it be through misinterpretation, misunderstandings, or lack of active listening, can exacerbate tensions and
escalate conflicts within the family. Different communication styles and approaches further complicate
matters, as individuals may have varying preferences for directness, assertiveness, or emotional expression.

Page 8/9
Moreover, unfulfilled expectations often become a source of conflict within families. Each family
member may have their own set of expectations regarding roles, responsibilities, and behaviours. When
these expectations are not met, it can lead to disappointment, resentment, and conflicts.
Resolving family conflicts requires open and honest communication and empathy. Active listening,
seeking to understand others’ perspectives, and finding common ground can help bridge the gaps and foster
understanding within the family unit. Family members should also be willing to adapt and adjust their
expectations for peaceful coexistence.

Question 134. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
