In the 1960s, the first human explorations of space began. Today scientists often debate the future of manned space flight. Should we aim for the moon again, or for Mars? It always comes down to concerns about the length and expense of such journeys. Mars is a much more difficult challenge than the moon.
Mars is so far away that is world take about two years for a human crew to complete the round trip, including time spent to the planet's surface. On the other hand, we know the moon can be visited in a fraction of that time, as was proven by the Apollo 11 mission in 1969. Distance poses other dilemmas. A popular movie, Apollo 13, tells the exciting story of how NASA managed to rescue the astronauts of the ill-fated Apollo 13 mission to the moon. With the tremendous distance between Earth and Mars, emergency retrievals like this would be impossible. The moon seems more feasible from this point of view.
As with most projects, the crux of the matter is economics. In fact, NASA has estimated that a manned flight to Mars would cost five hundred billion dollars! Critics argue that Mars is too far and the moon is too useless to us to justify any manned space flights at all. Nevertheless, should we choose to go ahead with space travel, it seems that returning to the moon is a much more likely proposition than Mars.

Why we crave dessert even when we are full

Even after eating a large meal, most people can still find room for sweets. Now, research in mice shows that the neurons behind feeling full also trigger sugar cravings. In other words, there seems to be a neurological basis for our love of dessert. (I)
Previous studies have shown that naturally occurring opioids in the brain play a crucial role in sugar cravings. The main producers of these opioids are neurons located in a brain region that regulates appetite, metabolism and hormones. Known as pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons, they also control feelings of satiety after eating.
To understand whether these cells have a role in sugar cravings, Henning Fenselau at the Max Planck Institute for Metabolism Research in Germany and his colleagues traced the opioid signals that POMC cells send in the brain. They did so by bathing brain slices from three mice in a fluorescent solution that binds to receptors of these opioids. (II) The brain region with the highest density of these receptors was the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVT), known to regulate feeding. That suggested sugar cravings were related to communication between these two brain regions. This observation provided a clearer map of the neural circuitry involved, allowing the researchers to focus on specific pathways rather than general brain activity. It also helped establish a functional link between receptor density and behavioural outcomes related to food intake, thereby strengthening the overall reliability of their experimental approach. (III)
Subsequently, the researchers monitored the activity of neurons in these regions as mice ate their usual food. When the animals seemed to be full, the team gave them a dessert of sugary chow. (IV) On average, neuronal activity between the brain regions roughly quadrupled while mice ate dessert compared with their regular meal. The spike began prior to eating the sweets, suggesting the pathway dictates sugar cravings. When the team inhibited signals from POMC neurons to the PVT, the mice consumed 40 percent less dessert. “The cell types, which are extremely well-known for driving satiety, also release signals that cause the appetite for sugar, and they do so particularly in the state of satiety,” says Fenselau. “This would explain why animals – humans – over-consume sugar when they’re actually full.” The pathway may have evolved because sugar is more easily turned into energy than other sources like fats or proteins.

The secret of economic success is innovation. What, then, is the secret of innovation? A look at the red-hot market for grey cells is revealing. Success seems increasingly dependent not on firms but on the brilliance, creativity, and drive of a small cadre of exceptional individuals – for whom companies and institutions worldwide must compete if they want to lead in such fields as technology, finance, and science.

Across sectors, the rewards for the new superstars are growing, too. Many programmers and recording artists in their 20s now command seven-, eight- or even nine-figure salaries. Similarly, in the legal profession, earnings that were once distributed more evenly among lawyers now increasingly flow to the top ones at elite firms, who massively outperform their counterparts at second-tier firms. The rising premium on talent is due chiefly to recent technologies: vast computing resources help investors transform their skills into greater profits, while ultra-cheap digital distribution expands markets for individual creators. [I] And from a corporate perspective, the potential rewards for winning the race are so enormous that they turn even the most extravagant individual salary into a rounding error.

That technology, especially artificial intelligence (AI), will further extend the dominance of top performers, enabling them to do even better, is a boon to them. But it is also good news for everyone else, because ageing societies will struggle to grow economically unless productivity and innovation remain strong. [II] However, the real irony is that, even as many countries are pouring money into economy-boosting schemes, much of the brainpower essential for national prosperity remains untapped. Despite the world's vast reservoir of talent, too few people are achieving their potential, owing perhaps to financial hardships, limited access to higher education, and the absence of support networks needed to turn promise into performance. When this is the case, the result is a tragic waste of human gifts in both developed and developing countries. [III]

Fortunately, the remedy is well within sight. To attract talent from abroad, countries need to remove the immigration barriers that keep bright students, researchers, and skilled workers out. Domestically, policymakers should be more systematic about supporting talent-spotting programmes and giving those who show early promise the education, funding, and support they need to flourish.

Many extinct species – from passenger pigeons to woolly mammoths – may now be reclassified as “bodily, but not genetically, extinct”, since their DNA can still be recovered from fossil specimens up to 200,000 years old. Developments in genetic technology may one day help bring such animals back to life. Only species whose DNA is too old to recover, such as dinosaurs, should be regarded as truly extinct.



The attempt to bring vanished creatures back to life will be expensive, technically difficult, and time-consuming, with no guarantee of success, so what makes it worthwhile? That something as final as extinction might be reversed, so that mammoths and passenger pigeons could be seen alive again, evokes the awe and wonder that drive all conservation at its deepest level.

Furthermore, the same logic underlying initiatives to protect endangered species applies to de-extinction plans: to restore and preserve biodiversity, advance scientific knowledge, and undo previous destruction. In this sense, resurrected species could become beacons of hope. While close examination of extinct species’ genomes can speak volumes about what made them vulnerable in the first place, living specimens would reveal even more. De-extinction techniques would also be directly applicable to critically endangered species, helping restore their genetic diversity. Lastly, as some extinct species once played vital roles in their ecosystems, bringing them back could also revive ecological richness and inspire wider conservation.

If de-extinction succeeds, today’s young people will have a chance to experience the return of some remarkable creatures in their lifetime – an experience that may define their generation’s attitude to the natural world and conservation. Given the number of species that have died out over the last 10,000 years due to manmade destruction, some resurrection and a measure of redemption are in order.

World festivals have a big impact on young people today. Festivals such as Christmas, Diwali, Halloween, and Chinese New Year are celebrated across the globe, bringing people together. Young people especially enjoy these events because they offer a chance to have fun, learn about different cultures, and develop a global mindset.

Festivals help young people appreciate diversity. Attending a festival from another culture teaches them new traditions, food, music, and art. For example, attending the Rio Carnival or the Holi Festival of Colors can give young people an exciting experience of new cultures. They learn to respect and understand people from different backgrounds, which is important in today's world.

Another impact is that festivals allow young people to express themselves creatively. Many festivals include costumes, dances, and music that [U]encourage[/U] self-expression. For instance, during Halloween or a music festival like Coachella, [B]young people often wear creative outfits or costumes that reflect their personalities[/B]. This makes [U]them[/U] feel confident and allows them to experiment with new styles.

Festivals also offer [U]opportunities[/U] for young people to connect with others. Meeting people at festivals, whether in person or online, helps them build friendships and networks. Social media plays a big role in this, as many young people post about their experiences, spreading awareness of the festivals they attend.

Overall, world festivals provide many learning and social experiences for young people, helping them grow into more open-minded and creative individuals.

[I] In today's globalized world, cultural diversity has become a fundamental aspect of many societies. [II] Many countries are experiencing increasing levels of migration. [III] With the rise of immigration and the blending of traditions, people from various cultural backgrounds are now living side by side in cities across the globe. [IV]

One of the key advantages of cultural diversity is the richness that it adds to a society. Different cultures introduce unique viewpoints, foods, languages, and traditions, which help people broaden their understanding of the world. In schools and workplaces, cultural diversity fosters creativity and innovation, as individuals from different backgrounds approach problems in innovative ways. However, there are also challenges associated with living in culturally diverse communities. Misunderstandings and communication barriers can arise when people are unfamiliar with each other's customs and values. To address these issues, societies must encourage cultural sensitivity and create opportunities for cross-cultural exchange.

Governments and institutions around the world are beginning to implement policies that promote inclusion and respect for cultural differences. By celebrating diversity through events, education, and media representation, communities can create environments where people feel valued regardless of their background. Ultimately, embracing cultural diversity helps to build more peaceful and harmonious societies.

Living in the stressful modern era, most of us usually look for sources of relaxation, and it's no secret that viewing nature and being outdoors can be pleasant and restorative. Spending time in nature is linked to improvements in mental health, mood, emotional well – being, and cognitive benefits. However, the more surprising thing is that, according to new research, viewing water may be a better environment for relaxation than green areas with grass and trees.

In a recent article, Harvard psychologist Adam Grant discussed a remarkable 2024 study that he came across, showing that people who viewed water for less than two minutes had reduced blood pressure compared to people who viewed green areas and trees.

So why are nature's blue spaces more relaxing than green ones? According to the original authors of the study, the reason might be related to the process of our evolution. For early humans who have to work hard to survive day by day, the lack of water has always been a major challenge, as it posed a direct threat to life, leading to heightened levels of stress, increases in blood pressure and cardiac stress. Therefore, successfully detecting water or simply just looking at it can provide a sense of great relief.

Being in nature can help you re – invigorate your body, mind, and spirit, offering moments of awe, calm, and relaxation. And now we are learning that bodies of water may bring even greater relaxation. So, whether it's a river, lake, or ocean, it might be time to go outside and find the nearest blue space to experience the effects for yourself!

Powering the Future
As we continue to face the impacts of climate change, having a green environment has become increasingly important to the future of our society. To achieve this, the world is shifting towards green energy, and two particular types of energy at the center of this movement are solar power and wind power.
Solar power is all about harnessing the sun's energy by using solar panels to convert sunlight into usable electricity. This highly efficient form of energy produces zero emissions, so it can significantly reduce our carbon footprint. Moreover, solar panels are perfect for installation on a small scale, such as in private homes, since they require very little maintenance and have a long lifespan. However, the ability to generate solar power depends on the time of day and weather conditions. This means that solar panels are often less useful if they are installed in places where sunny weather is not typical.
Wind power, on the other hand, involves converting the energy of the wind into electricity using large turbines. Wind power produces no greenhouse gases, but it is not ideal for private use since turbines require consistent care. However, wind farms can be installed on a large scale and can produce electricity continuously regardless of the time of day. This means that if there were more investments in wind power, it could be a viable way to provide energy for major cities and even whole regions.
Wind and solar power contribute significantly to a green environment by reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, helping us cut down on pollution and slow climate change. Additionally, using renewable energy sources helps promote spending on sustainable development by creating new career opportunities in the green energy sector.
For now, the biggest challenge of adopting green energy is the costs associated with installation and infrastructure, but the benefits unquestionably outweigh the downsides. If we want to stop the climate crisis and create a better and more sustainable future, green energy sources will undoubtedly be the key.

This has resulted in higher wages and better benefits for workers, but it also means that companies must adapt quickly to meet their staffing needs. Additionally, workers are becoming more vocal about their rights and working conditions, pushing for more equitable practices in the workplace.

Job seekers today are also placing greater emphasis on company culture and values. They prefer employers who prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion, as well as those who demonstrate a commitment to social and environmental responsibility. As a result, companies are reevaluating their corporate practices to align with these expectations, aiming to create a more positive work environment.

Overall, the current job market is dynamic and evolving. As technology continues to reshape industries and worker preferences shift, both employers and employees must remain adaptable to succeed in this changing landscape.

The genius
Leonardo da Vinci was one of the greatest painters, architects, and thinkers in his era. His works have influenced not only other artists and painters, but also people working in scientific fields.
He was born in 1452 in a small town near Vinci, Italy, where his surname comes from. Leonardo loved nature and spent a lot of time drawing pictures of animals and plants. He received little formal education, but his uncle and father soon discovered his talent, so they decided to send him to a workshop in Florence to apprentice with the master artist Verrocchio. Da Vinci not only improved his skills in drawing, painting, and sculpting, but he also picked up knowledge and technical skills in other areas including mechanics, carpentry, metalwork, and architecture.
In 1472, Leonardo qualified as a master artist and opened his own workshop. [I]However, he still continued to work together with Verrocchio for the next five years. After that, he started working independently and completed a painting for the Duke of Milan. [II]His work made a huge impression on the Duke who decided to offer him a position in his court. While in Milan, Da Vinci was invited to design innovative buildings, machines, and weapons. He would draw up plans for several inventions of the future such as tanks, submarines, and flying machines.[III] He left behind several notebooks filled with diagrams, drawings, observations, and notes of his studies, ideas, and inventions.[IV]
Unfortunately, his interests were so broad that he often changed his focus to a new project and rarely finished the works he had started. The Last Supper and Mona Lisa were two of the masterpieces he could finish during his lifetime. In 1495, he started The Last Supper, which took him nearly three years to complete. In 1503, he began painting the Mona Lisa and worked on it from time to time over several years until his death.
Da Vinci died in 1519, at the age of 67, but he is still considered as one of the greatest geniuses of all time. His paintings changed the world of art, and many inventions were carried out based on his ideas and sketches. His greatness lies in the depth and diversity of his knowledge, and 500 years after his death, his genius shines as bright as ever.

TikTok is a popular social media app where people can create and share short videos [I]. It started in China in 2016 as Douyin [II]. The app is known for its easy-to-use tools that let users add music, effects, and filters to their videos [III]. People of all ages enjoy making and watching TikTok videos, which can be funny, educational, or creative [IV].
One of the reasons TikTok is so popular is because of its algorithm, which shows users videos that match their interests. When you open the app, you see a personalized feed called the "For You" page. This page is different for everyone and updates with new videos all the time. Users can also follow their favorite creators to see more of their content.
TikTok has become a platform for trends and challenges. Many users participate in dance challenges, lip-syncing, and other viral activities. These trends can spread quickly, reaching millions of people in a short time. Because of this, TikTok has influenced music charts, fashion, and even language. Songs that go viral on TikTok often become hits on other platforms too.
The app is also a space for education and advocacy. Many creators use TikTok to share knowledge about various topics, such as science, history, cooking, and fitness. Others use the platform to raise awareness about social issues and promote positive change.
In addition to individual creators, many brands and businesses use TikTok for marketing. They create content to engage with their audience, often using popular trends and challenges to promote their products.
However, TikTok has faced some criticism and challenges. Concerns about privacy and data security have led to scrutiny from governments. Despite these issues, TikTok still remains one of the most downloaded apps in the world.

Yoga is a healthy lifestyle. One of the benefits of yoga is that you can choose a yoga style that is suitable for your lifestyle, such as hot yoga, power yoga, relaxation yoga, etc. If you are a yoga beginner, Hatha Yoga, which focuses on basic postures at a comfortable pace, would be great for you. If you want to increase strength through using more of your own body's resistance, Power Yoga may be right for you. Whether you prefer you're at home, in a private session, watching a DVD or at a studio or gym, there are a huge variety of options available to suit your goals and needs.
Improved flexibility is one of the first and most obvious benefits of yoga. During your first class, you probably won't be able to touch your toes. But if you stick with it, you'll notice a gradual loosening, and eventually, seemingly impossible poses will become possible. Each of the yoga poses is built to reinforce the muscles around the spine, the very center of your body, which is the core from which everything else operates.
When the core is working properly, posture is improved, thus alleviating back, shoulder, and neck pain. Strong muscles do more than look good. They also protect us from conditions like arthritis and back pain, and help prevent falls in elderly people. And when you build strength through yoga, you balance it with flexibility. If you just went to the gym and lifted weights, you might build strength at the expense of flexibility.
Yoga gets your blood flowing. More specifically, the relaxation exercises you learn in yoga can help your circulation, especially in your hands and feet. Yoga also gets more oxygen to your cells, which function better as a result. Twisting poses are thought to wring out venous blood from internal organs and allow oxygenated blood to flow in once the twist is released. Many studies found that a consistent yoga practice improved depression and led to greater levels of happiness and better immune function.

Hygiene has played a vital role in human civilization throughout history. Ancient civilizations, such as the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, were among the first to recognize the importance of cleanliness for health. They practiced bathing and used natural oils to maintain personal hygiene. The Romans even built elaborate public bathhouses, which became social centers for relaxation and sanitation. These early efforts showed an understanding that hygiene was linked to overall well-being.
During the Middle Ages, however attitudes towards hygiene changed significantly. The spread of diseases like the Black Death led people to believe that bathing could make them more vulnerable to infections. As a result, frequent bathing became rare, and cleanliness was not prioritized. Many people relied on strong perfumes to cover body odor, while poor waste management in cities created unsanitary conditions. This lack of hygiene contributed to widespread illness and high mortality rates.
The 19th century marked a turning point in the understanding of hygiene with the rise of scientific discoveries. Pioneers like Louis Pasteur and Joseph Lister demonstrated the link between germs and diseases, leading to improved medical practices and public health measures. The introduction of handwashing and sterilization in hospitals greatly reduced infection rates. Public awareness campaigns and government regulations began to promote better hygiene in everyday life.
Today, hygiene remains a crucial aspect of public health and daily routines. Advancements in technology have made access to clean water and sanitation facilities more widespread. People now understand the importance of practices like handwashing, brushing teeth, and proper waste disposal. The history of hygiene reflects humanity's ongoing efforts to protect health and prevent disease, proving its significance across time.

[I] Stress has become a significant problem for many students in today's educational environment. [II] Many students feel stressed because of heavy workloads, tough exams, and the high expectations set by parents and teachers. [III] This stress can impact both their mental and physical health, making it challenging to concentrate and perform well academically. [IV]
One of the primary causes of stress at school is the intense pressure to succeed. Students are frequently expected to excel in all subjects, participate in extracurricular activities, and complete assignments on time. The fear that they might fail or not meet expectations can lead to self-doubt and anxiety. Moreover, the competition for top grades and college admissions has increased, adding even more pressure. This kind of stress can cause students to feel overwhelmed, especially when they struggle to balance their studies with other aspects of their lives.
Another contributing factor to school stress is social pressure. Many students face challenges such as bullying, peer pressure, or the need to fit in with their classmates. These social issues can make school a stressful place, causing students to feel isolated or excluded. Additionally, the widespread use of social media has created new sources of stress, as students often compare their lives to the seemingly perfect lives of others online. This comparison can lead to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem, further increasing their stress levels.
There are several effective ways to help students manage stress at school. Providing access to mental health resources, such as counseling services, can offer students a safe space to express their concerns. Schools can also organize stress management workshops that teach relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing and meditation. Encouraging students to practice good time management and get enough sleep can improve their ability to handle stress. Finally, support from teachers and parents, who emphasize the importance of effort over perfection, can make a significant difference in reducing stress.

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 following questions from 31 to 40.
[I] Over the past few years, working from home has become very popular all over the world. [II] An increasing number of companies allow employees to work from home at least one or wo days a week. [III] While working from home can come with many benefits, there are also some drawbacks to consider. [IV] The most common advantage is that it doesn't involve any commute to work. Many people spend more than 30 minutes each way travelling to their workplace and often have to deal with train delays or traffic jams during rush hour. Long daily commuting is also linked with increased levels of stress and anxiety. Therefore, people save time for getting extra sleep or eating a healthy breakfast if they work from home. Furthermore, working from home offers greater flexibility, which means employees can choose when to start and finish their working day as long as they complete all tasks on time and meet the deadlines. By having control over work schedules, people can attend to personal matters and achieve better work-life balance. For example, working mothers can take care of their children or adult learners can fit classes into their busy life.
However, working from home is not suitable for everyone. Some employees may feel isolated and lonely when they don't have much contact with their colleagues and organisation as a whole. They may miss the social interaction and creative atmosphere in the workplace. They may also prefer face-to-face supervision and meetings with managers or colleagues. Therefore, it would be difficult for these employees to complete their work on their own at home. In addition, when people work from home, they may find it hard to avoid distractions such as screaming children, dogs barking, or household chores. Even if they have a dedicated workspace in their home, it may not be easy for them to stay focused on their work, be efficient, and meet targets.
