The ocean is facing the threat of warming and becoming more acidic because we continue to pump more CO2 into the atmosphere. In addition, the ocean also faces other threats from humans, namely the use of plastic. Modern life is dominated by high-tech plastic food packaging used daily by the public. In a report, it was mentioned that by 2050, plastic waste in the ocean will exceed the amount of fish if this trend continues. This is a major threat.
Large-scale actions are needed to shift from this tendency, considering the many parties involved in this field. The private sector and civil society need to be mobilized to capture other economic opportunities outside of plastic management.
The solution is not easy. The fact that low oil prices make the cost of recycling plastic much more expensive than producing new plastic. Other conditions showing that the economy in developing countries grows more, making the use of plastic also increase. The solution needed is the way we use plastic. For example, by reducing the use of plastic in packaging or reusing it as much as possible.
Plastic manufacturers can also help in plastic management, such as producing reusable plastic products or switching to compostable plastics. Any solution will bring significant changes in the way plastic products are used.

Gentle parenting or gentle upbringing is essentially a parenting style that emphasizes empathy, acknowledges feelings, and motivates children. Practitioners of gentle parenting set clear boundaries in this approach, which is giving choices to children rather than issuing commands. They also avoid giving rewards, punishments, and threats to children. This parenting style requires high self-discipline. Mothers are expected to be more proactive rather than reactive, make decisions with careful thinking, and serve as role models in terms of empathy, respect, understanding, and communication.
There are many things to like about this gentle parenting approach because it provides a new perspective on child-rearing (which highly respects children's emotions and their individuality). However, based on this gentle parenting approach, children who have not yet developed emotional maturity and have obedience and self-control become the main characters. Therefore, it is only considered fair that adults, in this case, mothers, must show patience and empathy towards children.
Gentle parenting considers that a child should not be told that he has made his mother sad, nor should he be scolded even if he has done something bad. Poor behavior of children in gentle parenting is considered to be the result of the child's stress or anxiety caused by others.
In her article "The Problem with 'Gentle parenting?' It's Not Always Gentle on Mothers," Christine Organ argues that gentle parenting overlooks the impact on the life of modern mothers, especially working mothers who have limited time between home and office. Working mothers who usually save time to achieve certain goals by rewarding their children, according to her, become incompatible with parenting that requires a considerable amount of time to comply with the child's wishes.
In the end, mothers who apply gentle parenting must set aside all "rivals" of the child, such as housework or jobs. The mother needs to be a person who has plenty of time for the child and is full of calmness. Gentle parenting also enforces the image of a perfect mother, as if the mother cannot experience fatigue, anger, and must always be gentle with the child.

Please note the following text to answer questions 31-33
The Economic Impact of Digital on the Growth of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)
The digital economy has brought significant changes in various business aspects, especially for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). With the advent of digital technology, SMEs now have greater opportunities to develop and compete in a broader market. This transformation is driven by several key factors, such as the development of e-commerce, digital payment systems, data-based marketing, as well as the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) based technologies.
One significant change in the digital economy is the ease of access to e-commerce platforms. SMEs that previously relied only on physical stores can now sell their products through various online marketplaces. This enables them to reach consumers beyond their local area, even up to the international market. With lower operational costs compared to physical stores, SMEs can allocate funds for innovation and product quality improvement. In addition, increasingly efficient delivery systems allow SMEs to fulfill orders more quickly and on time.
Besides access to a broader market, digital payment systems have also improved the efficiency of financial transactions. The use of digital wallets and cashless payments not only makes shopping easier for consumers, but also helps SMEs to keep more accurate financial records. Another advantage of the digital economy is data-based marketing strategies. Through customer data analysis, SMEs can better understand market trends and consumer behavior. For example, the use of targeted digital advertising enables SMEs to reach more specific market segments, thus increasing the effectiveness of promotions.
Although offering many benefits, digital transformation also brings challenges. SMEs must be able to adapt to technological developments and improve digital literacy to remain competitive. In addition, data security is an important aspect that must be considered when conducting business digitally to avoid the risks of hacking and misuse of customer information. Despite all opportunities and challenges, the digital economy has become a key factor in driving SME growth. If managed well, digitization can become the main driver for the sustainability and competitiveness of small businesses in this modern era.

Almost 25 years ago, we parted ways because my family had to move to the city where my father's new job was located, which was outside the island. Not a single item was left behind in the old house. Similarly, my best friend and I had to part ways.
Meeting him again after a long time reminded me of our past experiences. Experiences that made him, although not all the time, always remain in my memory. Of course, he remembers them too, and I am sure the feelings he has are even more impactful. Because as a friend, he is clearly more sincere and loyal than me. Without realizing it, my eyes began to get teary.
That night, I was here, watching her study. After finishing studying, she told me to go home because she was going to look for crickets. I immediately expressed my desire to join, but she objected. Her father and mother also forbade it. I often heard stories about children gathering together after Isha to go to the rice fields to catch crickets. Unfortunately, my father never allowed me to. But that night, I was determined, and eventually, my friend could not refuse. "Won't you change clothes?" I asked in surprise as she immediately led the way to leave. It was Friday. The brown Scout uniform she had worn since morning would still be used for school the next day. She didn't have many clothes, so the school uniform was worn whenever needed. However, wearing it to go to the rice fields to catch crickets seemed very inappropriate.
I took the torch from his hand. It didn't seem too long that we had been there, and the new cage had just a few crickets when suddenly the wind changed its mood. Surprised, I lifted the torch high, causing the oil to push the wick out. The fire quickly moved to burn my back! I heard his scream while he took off his brown uniform to use it to beat my back. The clothes I was wearing were destroyed by a third. My friend immediately wrapped his brown uniform around my body as I started to cry.

Malin's Big City Life: A Modern Tale
Malin had always dreamed of leaving his small coastal village. After graduating from high school, he moved to Jakarta with hopes of building a better life. He worked part-time jobs during the day and studied digital marketing at night. It wasn't easy, but he slowly gained skills, built a client list, and eventually launched a successful online clothing brand.
Within four years, Malin's name became known among young entrepreneurs. He started attending influencer events, sharing productivity tips, and talking about "humble beginnings"—though he rarely mentioned where he came from. At some point, he stopped returning his mother's calls. He thought she wouldn't understand his lifestyle now: brand deals, curated social media posts, and talk shows.
One day, Malin was invited to speak at a business seminar, streamed live across Indonesia. In the audience was a quiet woman in a simple kebaya—his mother, who had taken the long trip to Jakarta without telling him. She waited outside the venue, holding a basket of banana chips she used to make for him when he was little.
When she finally approached him near the stage, Malin stepped back. Cameras were everywhere, and the last thing he wanted was to be seen with someone who didn't match the image he had built. He gave her a quick nod and turned away, pretending not to recognize her.
Later that night, a short video went viral: a young CEO ignoring an old woman who claimed to be his mother. Comments exploded with criticism, and people began to question the authenticity of his "humble" background. Sponsorships were paused. Interview requests stopped coming. Alone in his apartment, Malin stared at the screen—his face frozen in the moment he turned away.
11. What is the main message of the story?
A. Staying true to your goals is more important than pleasing others
B. Sometimes, ambition can push you to make difficult personal choices

A Whole New Jupiter: First Science Results from NASA’s Juno Mission
Juno was launched on August 5, 2011, and entered Jupiter's orbit on July 4, 2016. The findings from the first data-collection pass—which flew within about 2,600 miles (4,200 kilometers) of Jupiter's swirling cloud tops on August 27—are being published this week in two papers in the journal Science, as well as 44 papers in Geophysical Research Letters.
We knew going in that Jupiter would throw us some curves," said Scott Bolton, Juno's principal investigator from the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio. "But now that we are here, we are finding that Jupiter can throw the heat, as well as knuckleballs and sliders. There is so much going on here that we didn't expect, that we have had to take a step back and begin to rethink this as a whole new Jupiter.
Among the findings that challenge previous assumptions are those provided by Juno's imager, JunoCam. The images show that both of Jupiter's poles are covered in Earth-sized swirling storms that are densely clustered and rubbing together.
We're puzzled as to how they could be formed, how stable the configuration is, and why Jupiter's north pole doesn't look like the south pole," said Bolton. "We're questioning whether this is a dynamic system - are we seeing just one stage, and over the next year we're going to watch it disappear - or is this a stable configuration where these storms are circulating around each other?
Another surprise comes from Juno's Microwave Radiometer (MWR), which samples the thermal microwave radiation from Jupiter's atmosphere—from the top of the ammonia clouds to deep within the planet. The MWR data indicates that Jupiter's iconic belts and zones are mysterious: the belt near the equator penetrates all the way down, while the belts and zones at other latitudes seem to evolve into different structures. The data also suggests that ammonia is quite variable and continues to increase as far down as the MWR can detect—several hundred miles or kilometers beneath the surface.
Prior to the Juno mission, it was known that Jupiter had the most intense magnetic field in the solar system. Measurements from Juno's Magnetometer Investigation (MAG) indicate that Jupiter's magnetic field is even stronger than expected and more irregular in shape. MAG data shows the magnetic field greatly exceeded predictions at 7.766 gauss—about ten times stronger than the strongest magnetic field found on Earth.
Juno is giving us a view of the magnetic field close to Jupiter that we've never had before," said Jack Connerney, Juno's deputy principal investigator and lead for the mission's magnetic field investigation at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. "Already, we see that the magnetic field looks lumpy - it is stronger in some places and weaker in others. This uneven distribution suggests that the field might be generated by dynamo action closer to the surface, above the layer of metallic hydrogen. Every flyby we execute gets us closer to determining where and how Jupiter's dynamo works.
Juno is also designed to study the polar magnetosphere and the origin of Jupiter's powerful auroras—its northern and southern lights. These auroral emissions are caused by particles that gain energy and slam into atmospheric molecules. Juno's initial observations indicate that this process works differently at Jupiter than it does on Earth.

This text is for question number 21 to 24.
The idea of transforming our economies and societies must have equity or justice at its center, as the transition from the current unsustainable patterns of production and consumption to a more sustainable system is bound to have winners and losers. Advocates of climate justice take a human rights approach to sharing the costs and benefits of adjusting to climate change. By contrast, energy justice usually focuses on access to energy as a human right. And environmental justice emphasizes the agency of people and seeks to involve them in environmental decision making.
All three approaches address the political economy of transitioning to more sustainable economies and societies. Any just transition will be a delicate balancing act. The concept of a just transition is not merely a technical process of moving from a fossil fuel-based to a low-carbon system, but a political process. The status quo is not only disrupting planetary processes but also perpetuating inequalities. With this in mind, green innovation alone would not be sufficient to make the transition happen in the first place or to ensure that it is just. A just transition would require creating political coalitions among social and environmental movements, minority groups, labor unions, people employed in the energy sectors, and engaged local communities.
[1] In a way, the idea of a just transition gets to the core of sustainability. [2] The aspiration of a transition to a just and sustainable human environment has been discussed since at least the mid-1980s. [3] Rather than a fixed state we are aiming to reach, sustainability can be seen as a process of debate and inclusive deliberation. [4] This view of sustainability as a process of exploring social, technological and environmental pathways recognizes that different stakeholders view sustainability in different ways and have diverging narratives about what is or is not sustainable. [5] This implies the need to identify, in each case, the actors, their framing of the situation and their emphasis. [6] This socially complex view of sustainability also implies that governments are not the only policy agents and that there is an important role for citizen engagement and mobilization, protest and coalition building.
Human Development Report, 2020 (with modifications)
21. What can we conclude from the text?
A. The most important point of a just transition is that all stakeholders involved agree that regardless of the cost, there should be a shift from fossil-fuel based energy to cleaner, low-carbon alternatives.
B. Human needs must set the direction for a just transition to occur. Sustainability will not be achieved if human rights, the top priority, are not taken into account.
C. A just transition is essential to sustainability. A just transition revolves around the idea that not only environmental concerns, but also social concerns, are relevant to sustainability.
D. Governments as the authorities should not be the only ones defining what a just transition is. Rather, every stakeholder affected by environmental issues should also help.
E. Transitioning to a low-carbon society can perpetuate inequality if we are not careful. Therefore, each of us should fight to be heard in achieving environmental sustainability.
Answer Key: C
22. Which of the following questions cannot be answered by the text?
A. What is a just transition to sustainability?
B. What are the approaches to a more just transition?

This text is for question number 25-28
About 17 percent of global food production may be wasted, according to the UN Environment Programme’s (UNEP) Food Waste Index Report 2021, with 61 percent of this waste coming from households, 26 percent from food services, and 13 percent from retail. Food waste burdens waste management systems, increases food insecurity, and is a major contributor to the global problems of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.
The Food Waste Index is the first of its kind to highlight the scale of the problem. Indeed, it suggests that global food waste could be more than twice the size of earlier estimates. Previous studies indicated that consumer food waste was exclusively a problem in developed countries, with production, storage, and transportation losses thought to be particular issues in the developing world. However, the report found that household food waste per capita is similar across high-income, upper middle-income, and lower middle-income countries. There was insufficient data on low-income ones.
The UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that 690 million people went hungry in 2019, with these figures likely to increase after COVID. With food insecurity affecting so many people around the world, the World Economic Forum's Incentivizing Food Systems Transformation report argues that a transformation of the food sector is needed to establish sustainable, nutritious, and healthy food systems.
It estimates that food loss and waste costs the global economy $936 billion a year, with between 8-10 percent of global carbon emissions linked to unconsumed produce. Overall, food systems cost society $12 trillion in health, economic and environmental costs – which is 20 percent more than the market value of food systems. The report outlines how food systems transformation can be incentivized, including by repurposing public investment and policies; redesigning business models; getting investors to set higher standards for companies; and encouraging consumers to shift demand to more socially-responsible products.
25. The main purpose of the passage is to ...
A. Highlight the importance of changing consumer habits to reduce food waste
B. raise awareness about the significant environmental, social, and economic impact of food waste
C. indicate that households and businesses are major contributors to food loss and waste problems
D. propose realistic solutions to reduce waste from the food industry while being economically feasible
E. encourage countries to shift towards sustainable, nutritious, and healthy food systems
Answer Key: B
26. According to the passage, all of the following are correct, except ....
A. While it has often been believed that food waste is more of a problem in wealthier countries, the problem is also common in developing nations.
B. Households are the largest food waste producing sector, however, they are not the only part of the system that is responsible for the waste.
C. Global food waste is a far-reaching problem with tremendous financial, ethical, and environmental costs.
D. If we want to take climate change seriously, citizens around the world play a key role in reducing food waste.
E. In the developing part of the world, food waste is often due to technical limitations during the production process.
Answer Key: D
27. The passage states that while food waste is a global issue that affects the entire world, in more developed countries, food waste occurs due to ...
A. consumer behavior
B. Unreliable food companies
C. Lack of government regulation
D. Better supply chain efficiency
E. unhealthy food systems
Answer Key: A
28. As used in the third paragraph, the phrase "food insecurity" is closest in meaning to ...
A. food that is fit for consumption but consciously discarded at the retail or consumption stages
B. the series of processes by which food is grown or produced, sold, and eventually consumed
C. the state of being without reliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food
D. A state of sleep or extreme lethargy induced by the consumption of a large amount of food
E. the measure of an individual's ability to access food that is nutritious and sufficient in quantity
Answer Key: C
29. It can be inferred from the passage that reducing food waste would ...
I. Cut greenhouse gas emissions
II. Slow the destruction of nature

30. SARS-CoV-2. Monkeypox. Polio. Marburg. These viruses are no longer familiar only to public-health experts, but household names around the world, thanks to their recent incursions into human populations. People have always confronted pathogens of all sorts, but the attacks are becoming more commonplace and more intense than they ever have before.
The world has seen polio outbreaks before, for example, as well as monkeypox clusters and cases of Marburg, a relative of the deadly Ebola virus. We have even seen earlier versions of SARS-CoV-2 in the coronavirus outbreaks of 2002 and 2012. So why are these outbreaks piling up, seemingly all of a sudden, and at the same time?
The explanation lies in a perfect storm of factors that touches nearly every way we live our contemporary lives—from the ubiquity of worldwide travel to humans' deeper encroachment into previously untouched natural habitats and the modernization that has led to climate change, urbanization, and overcrowding. Even the instantaneous and unfiltered way we communicate on social media is contributing, since misinformation is often shared, believed, and elevated to the same degree as trustworthy messages. Then, there is the mercurial and increasingly unstable balance of geopolitics driving millions from their homes and into refugee camps and migrant housing, which are fertile grounds for infectious diseases to spread.
Simply put, the multitude of infectious diseases facing the world today is "just the evolution of microbes and humans coming to a collision course," says Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.
Responding quickly and effectively will have to become routine if we are to weather the onslaught of outbreaks sure to head our way. "Microbial evolution is alive and well," says Osterholm. "We are fighting an enemy that is growing and changing every day to accommodate as the world changes."

A. erode
B. survive
C. climate
D. Wear away
E. disintegrate

My Experience as an Intern at a Sports Club
Last summer, I had the opportunity to work as an intern at a local sports club. It was my first time working in a professional sports environment, and I was both nervous and excited. The internship went through a few phases, starting from orientation until finally jumping in to help during practices and games.
On my first day, I met the head coach, who welcomed me and explained my tasks. I had to set up cones for drills, bring water for the players, and check the training schedules. The first few days were challenging because I was not used to the morning routine. Every morning I had to wake up early, arrive on time, and follow instructions carefully. I worried about making mistakes, but the coaches were kind and guided me.
In the second month of my internship, I was trained to handle emergency situations. I got the chance to put that knowledge into practice when something unexpected happened. During football practice, a player fell and hurt his ankle. Everyone stopped, and I quickly ran to get the first aid kit. I helped the coach assess the injury and ensured the player stayed calm while we got him seated safely. Luckily, it wasn't serious, but the experience reinforced an important lesson: staying alert and prepared during emergencies can make a big difference.
At the end of my internship, the coaches held an evaluation and reflection session where they shared the results of their feedback. They highlighted my strengths in teamwork, responsibility, and communication, and even gave me a club T-shirt as a gift. I felt proud because I had improved in these areas. It was a great experience, and
I hope to work in a sports club again in the future.

Social Media Harms Teen Mental Health
In today's world, social media is a big part of many teenagers' daily lives. While it has some benefits, such as staying connected with friends, meeting new people, and learning about interesting topics, it also brings serious problems. I strongly believe that social media harms teen mental health, and we must pay more attention to this issue before it becomes even worse.
First, social media often makes teenagers compare themselves to others in an unhealthy way. When teens see pictures of people who seem perfect, they feel that they are not good enough. These feelings can lower self-esteem and lead to sadness, anxiety, or even depression. The problem is that many of these online posts are edited, filtered, or fake, but teens still feel pressure to look or live the same way. They may think that their own life is boring or not successful, which is simply not true.
Second, too much time on social media affects sleep and study habits. Many teenagers use their phones late at night, checking messages or watching videos, which reduces sleep time and quality. Without enough sleep, teens cannot focus well in class, and their grades may suffer. This can increase stress and worry about the future, making them feel overwhelmed.
Finally, online bullying, or cyberbullying, is another serious danger. Unlike face-to-face bullying, it can happen at any time and be shared with many people. Victims of cyberbullying often feel alone, scared, and helpless, and in some cases, it leads to serious mental health problems.
In conclusion, although social media has some good uses, its harm to teen mental health is much greater. Teenagers need support from parents, teachers, and society to use it wisely. Schools should teach students how to use social media in healthy ways, and parents should guide their children to take breaks and spend time offline. By doing this, we can help protect young people’s mental health in this digital age.
