V. Read the following passage (Seen Passage)
The ill effects of light pollution are many. For instance, light that is too bright can damage our vision; so
does insufficient light. A bright light has been found to cause sleep disorders such as sleep deprivation,
which in turn causes stress, headaches, and increasing anxiety. Bright artificial night light has been found to
upset the food hunting pattern of many nocturnal and crepuscular creatures. To minimize the effects of
environmental pollution, what should we do? What are the possible solutions to some environmental
problems that come about as a result of pollution? We must reduce our use of fossil fuels and promote the
use of friendly sources of energy, like the sun, wind, and water. Although it is impossible to shut down
factories, there should be stricter laws to prevent them from polluting the environment. Forests must be
protected because trees take in carbon dioxide. Fewer fertilizers and pesticides should be used in agriculture.
We should also try to produce less waste and recycle lots of things that we throw away. And we should be
judicious in using light during the night as well as day. If we do not do something to combat pollution, a
hazard to our environment, we will all be losers with dire consequences to face.

VI. Read the following passage. (unseen Passage)
Throughout history, humans have always created ways to help people with disabilities. For those who
cannot see, the world of letters and words can be a challenge. But thanks to the invention of the Braille
system, the blind have a unique alphabet of their own. With raised dots that can be felt with fingertips,
Braille allows them to read and write, bringing the world of literature and knowledge to their fingertips.
For those who cannot hear, spoken words may be silent, but communication is still possible. Sign
language is a special language using hand gestures and facial expressions. With it, the deaf can have full
conversations, express feelings, and share stories. It's a beautiful and expressive way to communicate
without sound.
Today, modern technology is making an even bigger difference. Wheelchairs that can be controlled by
eye movements, computers that can be operated by voice, and apps that translate spoken words into sign
language are just a few examples. These tools give people with disabilities more freedom and the ability to
do things that were once difficult or impossible.
In conclusion, from alphabets to technology, society has always strived to find ways to help the disabled.
These tools not only give them access to the world but also allow them to share their own unique voices with
others.
