Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the questions from 6 to 15.
Artificial intelligence is rapidly emerging as one of the most transformative technologies of the twenty-first century. [I] Researchers and policymakers increasingly view AI as a force capable of reshaping economies, scientific research, and everyday life. [II] From digital assistants to complex data analysis, intelligent systems are gradually becoming ubiquitous in modern societies. [III] Supporters argue that these tools can enhance productivity and expand human knowledge, while critics warn that unchecked innovation may create new risks. [IV]
One major dimension of AI progress lies in its growing ability to automate cognitive tasks that once required human expertise. Through machine learning, systems analyze enormous datasets and gradually refine their performance without direct programming. This capacity already supports applications such as speech recognition, medical imaging, and financial forecasting. As algorithms become more sophisticated, organizations expect substantial productivity gains and faster decision-making processes. Nevertheless, experts caution that societies must carefully manage these transitions in order to mitigate disruption in labor markets and professional training systems worldwide today increasingly.
Artificial intelligence is also transforming critical sectors such as healthcare and transportation. In medicine, advanced algorithms can examine vast collections of clinical data and identify patterns that physicians might overlook. These insights may enable earlier disease detection and more personalized treatment strategies. Similarly, in transport, autonomous vehicles rely on sensors, cameras, and predictive software to interpret complex road environments. Advocates argue that such technologies could reduce accidents and improve logistical efficiency. However, their widespread adoption still requires rigorous testing, transparent regulation, and sustained public trust across societies.
While the benefits of AI appear considerable, its expansion also provokes serious ethical and social debates. Automation may displace workers whose jobs depend on routine procedures, thereby intensifying economic inequality in vulnerable communities. Furthermore, powerful surveillance systems equipped with intelligent analytics could enable governments or corporations to monitor citizens in increasingly pervasive ways. For this reason, scholars argue that policymakers must establish robust guidelines capable of scrutinizing emerging technologies. Careful governance will determine whether artificial intelligence ultimately strengthens human welfare or generates profound societal disruption in future.

In recent years, a green lifestyle has become popular among young people. This trend shows a growing sense of responsibility and social awareness. A green lifestyle means daily actions that reduce harm to the environment and protect natural resources. Many young people now rethink habits such as shopping, travelling, and eating to mitigate pollution and keep ecological balance.
Across many communities, simple actions show this commitment. Young people often replace plastic bags with reusable ones, carry their own water bottles, and choose paper or metal straws. Recycling waste, reducing use, and picking eco-friendly products are now common. Social media makes these ideas more popular, as influencers share videos and simple guides to help others follow these green habits.
Some young people also learn more before they buy products. They check where items come from and how they affect the environment. There are also community activities, such as trading waste for plants or making useful things from old materials. However, problems still exist. Green products often cost more than normal ones, so students with low income may find it hard to sustain these habits.
Despite these problems, young people are still active and creative in supporting green living. Many groups organize workshops, online pages, and small projects to encourage responsible behaviour. Experts say that a green lifestyle does not need big changes but depends on small daily actions. Simple steps like saving electricity, using public transport, or sharing information can slowly reduce environmental pressure and build a better future for everyone. We can see that these actions, when repeated every day, help create lasting positive change in modern society today.
