Questions 186~190 refer to the following social media post, comments, and schedule.

The Adelaide City Government is currently on the lookout for fresh and inventive concepts that can revitalize their riverside parks, following the triumphant accomplishment of their river restoration project. The project's main objective is to infuse a sense of vitality and modernity into the previously unappealing and outdated parks, and they are welcoming all innovative proposals. If you have a creative mind and wish to contribute to the transformation of Sapporo's riverfront into a bustling and lively public area, then do not hesitate to share your ideas with them. Your input could help bring about a significant change and elevate the city's parks to new heights.

Sophia Baker

"I think we should incorporate some interactive installations, like a sculpture garden or an outdoor theater, to attract more visitors to the park."

Olivia Edwards

"I love the idea of having a night market in the park, with local vendors selling delicious food and handmade crafts. It would be a great way to showcase Adelaide's unique culture and cuisine."

Connie Anderson

"We should consider adding more greenery and natural elements to the park, like a community garden or a butterfly habitat. It would create a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere for visitors to enjoy."

Kelly Flores

"I think installing outdoor fitness equipment, like a mini-gym, would be a great addition to the park. It'll promote a healthy lifestyle and attract fitness enthusiasts to the area."

Andy Garcia

"I suggest setting up a small stage for local performers to showcase their talents, such as live music or street performances. It'll provide free entertainment for visitors and bring in more foot traffic."

The Adelaide City Government invites all citizens to join us in celebrating the official opening of the new riverside park. Come enjoy a day filled with music, art, food, and entertainment as we transform the park into a vibrant public space for everyone to enjoy.

Questions 153, 154 refer to the following email.
From: Arch Shinzo
To: HR Manager
Date: April 30
Subject: request

Dear Komiya Trucco,

I am writing to request unpaid time off. Four months after the company relocated me to the Sapporo branch, I found it hard to become accustomed to living away with my family although we video chat on a daily basis. I have to combat the constant desire to spend time with them and therefore can hardly stay focused at work. Obviously most of the mistakes I’ve made in recent weeks can be avoided and fortunately they were not fatal mistakes. Now I regret not taking their advice and getting promoted. I am very apologetic about lost productivity and my struggles with loneliness.

It would be better if I spent some time trying to be at peace with myself and spent quality time with my family to make up for lost time. I believe that very soon I will come back with renewed enthusiasm. So can I have your permission to take two months off starting on June 1?

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely yours,
Arch Shinzo

@shishimanufacturer.jp>@shishimanufacturer.jp>
【題組】154. According to the email, what is true about Arch Shinzo’s work at the Sapporo branch?
(A) He made minor mistakes frequently.
(B) He managed to pay full attention to his tasks.
(C) Though his performance at work was lower than usual, his abilities were fully appreciated by his employer.
(D) He was relocated to the Sapporo branch as a punishment.

Questions 172~175 refer to the following information.

There is a common myth that grain products such as bread, pasta, and rice are responsible for weight gain and should be avoided if one wants to lose weight. However, the reality is quite different from this widely held belief. While it is true that consuming large amounts of refined grains, which are often found in processed foods, can contribute to weight gain, grains themselves are not inherently fattening or unhealthy.

In fact, substituting whole grains for refined-grain products is a healthier choice and may even help one feel fuller for longer. According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2020-2025, consuming grains as part of a healthy eating plan is recommended. At least half of the grains consumed should be whole grains. Some examples of whole grains include brown rice and whole-wheat bread, cereal, and pasta.

Whole grains are a rich source of iron, fiber, and other essential nutrients that the body needs to function properly. By consuming whole grains, one can maintain a healthy body weight and also get essential nutrients that can help prevent chronic diseases. In contrast, refined grains are often stripped of important nutrients during processing and can contribute to health problems such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.

Therefore, if you are looking to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight,

incorporating whole grains into your diet can be an effective and nutritious way to do so. So, next time you hear the myth that grain products are fattening, remember that this is not entirely true, and whole grains are actually an important part of a healthy diet.

【題組】175. Why is substituting whole grains for refined-grain products healthier?
(A) Because whole grains are more flavorful.
(B)Because whole grains are more affordable.
(C) Because refined grains are stripped of important nutrients during processing.
(D) Because refined grains are less likely to contribute to weight gain.

Questions 196~200 refer to the following table, email, and reviewsSubject: My recommendation for the venue of the upcoming member convention

Dear General Manager,

While Golden Gate Conference Hall offers catering services for breakfast, lunch, and tea break, this comes at an additional cost. In contrast, Emerald Summit Venue offers a basic tea break service, but no catering. However, the venue is located in an area with many food options, and attendees can easily find a place to eat during their breaks. Additionally, Emerald Summit Venue has sufficient parking spaces, which is a valuable advantage compared to the limited parking at Golden Gate Conference Hall.

Best Regards,

Lily Wu
Operations Manager
