PART 2:
Cities can be exciting places to live, but the infrastructure which they require for safe and healthy living can be
difficult to provide. These problems can have both social and environmental impacts.
One of the main causes of problems in cities is too many people. When people in rural areas cannot make a living
from traditional jobs like farming and fishing, for example, they often move to one of the country’s nearest cities.
A large number of new places to live are then required quickly for all these people, and this often leads to new
neighborhoods which lack the basic infrastructure for healthy living. Too many people in a small area can also lead
to social issues, such as a rise in the number of poor people, an increase in the crime rate, and a lack of local health
care.
Another major cause of problems in cities is air pollution which comes from cars and trucks in the streets, and
factories inside the city, often close to housing areas. This kind of pollution can cause health problems, like
difficulty in breathing. There is also another kind of pollution in cities which is caused by the large number of
people living in a small area and shouting, arguing, playing loud music, and even laughing. If we are not with the
people making the noise, it can make us anxious or even scared. It is now called noise pollution because, like bad
air, it damages the environment in which we live.
To fix these problems, cities need to be designed well in order not to damage the local environment and to provide
a healthy place for everyone to live in. This can include things like greener transportation, more open spaces like
parks, and energy for heating, cooling, and lighting coming from the sun or the wind.

A.Traditional jobs. B. Rural areas. C. People from rural areas. D.Cities.
Question 22. Why, according to the writer, is lots of noise now called a type of pollution?
A. Because it is in the air, like gas from cars. B. Because it can damage mental health.
C. Because people don’t like it. D. Because it is even more dangerous than air pollution.
Question 23. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text as a problem caused by urbanization?
A. Lack of basic infrastructure in some neighborhoods.
B. Increased health problems due to air pollution.
C. Overcrowded public transport systems.
D. Noise pollution causing anxiety or fear.
Question 24. What is the main idea of the text?
A. The challenges cities face due to overpopulation and pollution.
B. The benefits of moving from rural areas to urban areas.
C. The importance of traditional jobs in rural communities.
D. The reasons why cities are exciting places to live.
