Health Benefits of Yoga
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.
1. Yoga is a very convenient type of exercise because______ .

B. we can choose a yoga style that is suitable for our lifestyle
C. we can choose Hatha Yoga to focus on basic postures or to increase strength
D. there are a huge variety of options available for our private session

B. seemingly impossible poses will become possible
C. it is the center o f your body, from which other muscles operate

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
A NEW CAPITAL
When the new state of Pakistan was founded in 1947, Karachi acted as the capital city. However, it was
difficult for Karachi to remain in this role due to a number of drawbacks such as the climate and the state of the
existing buildings. Rather than try to overcome these drawbacks, the government decided to create a new capital
city. In 1959, a commission was established to investigate the possible locations of this new city. The advisor
appointed to the commission was Dr Doxiadis, a famous architect and city planner.

Dr Doxiadis and his colleagues looked at the various locations. They then produced a report suggesting
two possible areas: one just outside Karachi and the other to the north of Rawalpindi. Both locations had
advantages as well as disadvantages. Which site was it to be?
The choice between these two options was made after consideration of many factors, such as transportation, the
availabilities of water, economic factors, and factors of national interest. Finally, the site north of Rawalpindi
was chosen and on the 24th February 1960, the new capital was given the name of ‘Islamabad’ and a master
plan was drawn up. This master plan divided the area into three different sections: Islamabad itself, neighbouring
Rawalpindi, and the national park.
Each of these three sections had a different role. Islamabad would act as the national's capital and would
serve its administrative and cultural needs, whereas Rawalpindi would remain the regional centre with industry
and commerce. The third piece of the plan, the national park, was planned to provide space for education,
recreation, and agriculture.
Today Islamabad is a thriving city of about 1 million people. It offers a healthy a pollution-free
atmosphere, plenty of water, and many green spaces. Guide tree-lined streets, elegant public buildings, and well-
organised bazaars and shopping centres. The new capital is a superb example of good urban planning.

VIII. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
Try to understand a situation from your friend’s point of view. Ask questions to get a sense of the problem
or issue, but the main thing is to listen to them. You don’t have to have all the answers, and don’t assume that
your friend wants advice - they might just want to talk so that they can work it out for themselves.
If your friend has a medical or mental health issue, a good way to offer support is to learn about what
they’ve been diagnosed with. Being interested in what they’re going through shows you care, and that you plan
to stick around no matter what’s going on.
If you’re worried about someone and you want to be there for them, ask them what they need. You’ll then
know what they find helpful during tough times, and you can offer them support in a way that’s genuinely
helpful.
Hugging your friends is a great way to show you care for them. Physical contact can be really comforting,
especially when someone feels alone.
Even if you don’t live nearby, show your friends you’re there for them by making an effort to keep in
regular touch through social media, emails, texts and calls.
You don’t have to make a big deal about it all the time, but you can make a real difference to how someone
is feeling just by letting them know how important they are to you. So, go for it!
If you think your friend’s safety is at risk, you might need to act without their consent and get help. It can
be a tough call, particularly when you’re worried how they’ll react, but remember that good friends care enough
to step up, and that you’re doing it to protect them from harm.

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
My parents had a very different upbringing to what I have today... It's like we grew up in parallel universes.
They were from Ireland, and grew up in secure homes, in the middle of the countryside with no cares in the
world. I live in inner-city Birmingham, and with peer pressure, school stress and lots of other things to deal
with, I think that I have a much tougher life than they had.
Times have definitely changed. We have a lot of responsibility as teenagers, and we have to act like adults.
It depends on where you have grown up and who you hang around with, but I think most people start drinking
alcohol around the age of 13 and lose their virginity around the age of 14. There isn't a definite age that most

people try drugs. I am nearly 16 years old and I have never tried any, but I know plenty of people who have.
This really depends on who you hang around with and how much will-power you have to say no.
I think that a lot of teenagers are discriminated against wrongly by adults. A few days ago, I was on my
way home in a rush because I was late, it was very dark and I was running. I ran past a middle-aged woman,
and as I went past I brushed her shoulder. She let out a scream and grabbed a tight hold of her handbag. I found
this really funny; she thought I was going to mug her.
Most teenagers have part-time jobs, which creates responsibility and the premature need to behave in an
adult way. I've been working since I was about 13 (I look older than I am, and can lie about my age) but most
teens start at around 15.
We need to have a certain level of trust put in us. We need to feel wanted and important, and not constantly
targeted and victimized by the media. After all, if the media is constantly attacking teens and branding them as
thugs, then that is the way we will act.

I spend my days fighting poverty in New York City, so this time of year I get asked a lot at holiday parties
what people can do to help the poor. I like the question. At the Robin Hood Foundation, we’ve spent 27 years
trying to answer it.
As with any complex social issue, there are myriad reasons that people are poor. So we break down the
problem to create short and long-term change. We aim to make life better for people who are poor while at the
same time attacking the root causes of poverty. Once we’ve identified the various needs, we use empirical data
to identify and support programs that create real results.
It’s a process that works for our organization, and it can work for charity-minded individuals too. Getting
smart about the underlying causes of poverty will allow you to connect on a deeper level, which matters:
Donors are more likely to commit to a cause when it resonates emotionally. From there, you can then do a little
digging to determine which organization is worthy of your support.
So, in case we don’t see each other at a party this season, there are six key barriers poor people regularly
face: homelessness, hunger, health, unemployment, immigration, and education. And while they are often
interconnected, eliminating just one leads to an improved living standard. Whichever tugs at your heart, there’s
a group in your area ready to use your time or money effectively.

of the questions.
Families in the 21st
century come in all shapes and sizes: traditional, single parent, blended (more than one
family together in the same house), and gay and lesbian parents - just to name a few. No matter the "type" of
family you have, there are going to be highs and lows - good times and bad.
Many times, however, families become blocked in their relationships by hurt, anger, mistrust, and
confusion. These emotions are natural and normal, and few families do not have at least a few experiences
with them. The worst time for most families, is during a divorce.
By making a few simple changes in the way we look at the world and deal with other people, it is possible
to create happier, more stable relationships. Families need to be units of mutual caring and support; they can be
sources of lifelong strength for all individuals.
It is never too late to begin the process of improving family relationships - even if they are already of good
quality - by developing some simple skills.
Whereas in other situations you can step back and assess the relationship, it is often hard to do this with
your family. Your family may be a constant presence in your life, so when an argument or issue arises, it may
seem impossible to handle.
Remember that communication is key to resolving conflict. While it may seem that your siblings are
constantly present to annoy you or boss you around, they are also there to communicate.
Use your family's presence to your advantage - communicate with each other, develop ways to value
boundaries, and build trust and respect.

of the questions.
Sometimes our parents don’t understand us. They don’t understand some problems and things which are
very important in teens’ life; for example, the lifestyles of young people, piercing, tattoos, drugs, sex,
relationship with friends and teachers. So, sometimes teens can’t tell them about their private life. Some parents
don’t want to understand modern views, ideals and system of values.
Elderly people usually compare their childhood and youth with the present, and regard old times as better,
always talking about “the good old days”. The young people, on the other hand, tend to think their times as the
best. Teens look at the world with fresh eyes. Everything is new, interesting to them. Sometimes they cannot
solve their everyday problems. But they want to cope with them by themselves. So, adults shouldn’t prevent
them from making their own mistakes.
People are said to become wiser with age. Sometimes, it is true and sometimes it is not. I think that you can
meet a wise man among the old as often as among the young. It is false that when old age wisdom has come,

expressing your ideas in such talks. That’s why some teens don’t like to talk to adults.
I think that it’s in people’s nature to give advice. It seems to people that giving advice they can help
somebody or put somebody on the right track. But if a person takes their advice and fails, he can blame an adult
all of his life.
Our parents have their own ideas and views that their children don’t share and understand. They think that
their children won’t find their place in life. They often say that now teens are very difficult to socialize with and
dumpy. But children should settle all problems peacefully because they are their parents. They brought them
up with loving care. And if children come to their parents for advice and help, they will do their best and help
children to cope with problems and difficulties.
