Dogs originally came from wolves. Wolves look a lot like dogs, but they are bigger. They are also
quite fierce. At some point, some wolves changed through evolution. Some of them were smaller and
gentler. These nicer wolves were the first dogs. No one knows for sure when this happened or why. Some
people say it happened naturally over 50,000 years ago. Others say people made it happen between 15 000
and 50 000 years ago.
However they came to be, people quickly saw that dogs were useful. Scientists who study humans
say the first tame dogs appeared with humans about 13,000 years ago in the Middle East. Not long after
there were dogs in Asia, Africa, Europe and eventually, North America. These dogs were probably used
mostly for hunting and traveling. They were also good companions.
Dogs were an important part of life in ancient Egypt. Egyptian dogs were used not only for hunting
but as guards and warriors as well. They believed the god that guarded hell was a dog. Ancient Egyptians
also named their pet dogs. Some popular names meant Brave One, Reliable, North-wind, Blacky, and
Useless.
Dogs were also good ancient Roman warriors. The Roman army used dogs all over Europe.
Sometimes the dogs were attack dogs, but other times the dogs were messengers.
There are many different kinds of dogs today. How could they all come from wolves? There are
many different explanations. Some scientists believe that dogs mixed with other animals from the Canidae
family. This includes coyotes, foxes and jackals. Most scientists also believe that evolution and breeding
influenced the variation. Later, people found breeds of dogs they liked and combined them to make all new
breeds. In this way. people are still helping new breeds to appear today!

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
Many people see large urban cities as a wonder of human imagination and creativity. They represent
how far the human population has come in terms of community development. Despite its positive things,
there are also negatives from urbanization on the physical health of humans living.
As it would be expected, developing countries tend to see more negative physical health effects than modern
countries in regard to urbanization. One example of a developing country experiencing these problems is
China. China is a country that in the past 30-40 years went from being an agrarian based society to a
significant industrialized country. This industrialization has in effect caused the need for more centralized
cities, centralized meaning having lots of jobs and living spaces within a close proximity. In most recent
decades, since China’s change to being more of an industrial based economy, the country has experienced
record high numbers of people migrating within its borders. In effect, the number of cities with over 500,000
people has more than doubled. These migrations are typically of people from rural areas of China moving to
the new urban areas. Due to this large influx in the urban population, there are many possibilities for health
challenges among these people.
One very common and fairly obvious negative aspect of highly congested urban areas is air
pollution. It could include particulate matter, most commonly attributed to industrial plants and refineries
waste, or chemicals like CO2 or Methane. Due to a vast number of people in these urbanized cities, the air
pollution is known to be very extreme. These conditions can lead to many different health problems such as:
Asthma, cardiovascular problems or disease. When exposed to these conditions for a prolonged period of
time, one can experience even more detrimental health effects like: the acceleration of aging, loss of lung
capacity and health, being more susceptible to respiratory diseases, and a shortened life span.
Another way that urbanization affects the populations’ health is people’s change in diet. For instance,
urban cities tend to have lots of accessible, quick, and easy to get food. This food is also more than likely not
as high quality as well as contains a large amount of sodium and sugar. Because this food is so accessible,
people tend to eat it more. This increase in consumption of low-quality food can then lead to diabetes,
hypertension, heart disease, obesity, or many other health conditions.
Question 39: Which of the following could be served as the best title for the passage?
A. Urban cities - The new opportunity for community development
B. Urbanization - Pros and cons
