4. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions 39 to 43: It is well-known that life expectancy is longer in Japan than in most other countries. A recent report also shows that Japan has the longest health expectancy in the world. A healthy long life is the result of the improvement in social environment. Scientists are trying to work out exactly what elderly Japanese people so health, and whether there is a lesson to be learnt from their lifestyles for the rest of us. Should we make any changes to our eating habits, for instance, or go jogging each day before breakfast? Is there some secret ingredient in the Japanese diet that is particularly beneficial to the human body? Another factor which contributes to the rapid population aging in Japan is a decline in birthrate. Although longer life should be celebrated, it is actually considered a social problem. The number of older people had doubled in the last half century that has increased pension and medical costs. The country could soon be dealing with an economic problem, if there was so many old people to be looked after, and relatively few younger people working and paying taxes to support them. Raising the retirement age from 65 to 70 could be one solution to the problem. Work can give the elderly a sense of responsibility and mission in life. It’s important that the elderly play active roles in the society and live in harmony with all generations.

Decreasing birthrate Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the question from 44 to 50: The authors noted that while other forms of pollution are decreasing, noise pollution has been increasing. This conclusion is reinforced by the fact that there has been an increase in the number of people who have been complaining about excessive noise in the WHO region. Populations that are exposed to high noise levels can be afflicted by other symptoms such as: stress reactions, sleep-stage changes, and clinical symptoms like hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. All these impacts can contribute to premature mortality. It is important to note that these adverse health problems impact all age groups including children and adolescents. In fact, it has been reported that children who live and or study in an area afflicted with noise pollution tend to suffer from stress, impairments in memory and attention as well as difficulty reading. “In Western Europe, the guidelines say, traffic noise results in an annual loss of at least one million healthy years”. Traffic noise is currently ranked second among environmental threats to public health. Trang 4/5 - Mã đề thi 812
5. The danger of noise pollution is more present to us when we are asleep. Because the human ear is so sensitive, it never rests, it is always working, picking up and transmitting sounds for our brains to interpret. This always on working process is where the danger lies, though you may be sleeping, sounds are still being picked up and processed. The most common side effects of this phenomenon are sleep disturbance and tiredness, impaired memory, judgment, and psychomotor skills. The other more serious outcomes of this can be the triggering of the body’s acute stress response, which raises blood pressure and heart rate as the body and brain go into a state of hyperarousal. According to the European Environment Agency, at least 10,000 cases of premature deaths from noise exposure occur each year, although incomplete data mean this number is significantly underestimated.
