Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
The health benefits of coffee may be regularly disputed, but a new study has linked caffeine consumption
with improvements in heart health. In fact, consuming four cups of coffee a day could help protect
cardiovascular cells from damage and also help them to repair themselves.
In a study published in PLOS Biology, researchers from Heinrich-Heine-University and the IUF-Leibniz
Research Institute for Environmental Medicine in Düsseldorf, Germany, found that caffeine may improve
the health of the cells which line the arteries and veins, thus strengthening their ability to recover from
damage. The researchers suggest drinking coffee – or other caffeinated beverages – could be particularly
beneficial for the elderly, who are more at risk of heart problems than younger people.
“Our results indicate a new mode of action for caffeine, one that promotes protection and repair of heart
muscle,” said study author Professor Judith Haendeler. “These results should lead to better strategies for
protecting heart muscle from damage, including consideration of coffee consumption or caffeine as an
additional dietary factor in the elderly population.”
Commenting on the research, Professor Tim Chico, Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine and Honorary
Consultant Cardiologist, University of Sheffield, said: “These are very interesting findings but need to be

confirmed in clinical trials before we can tell whether caffeine is truly helpful after a heart attack in humans
[...] I do not think people need to drink more coffee in response to this study, but that people who already
drink coffee can be reassured that it might have health benefits, as long as they don’t use it to wash down
an enormous muffin, cake, or doughnut.”

A. How coffee causes health problems B. A recently found health benefit of coffee

B. People commonly argue about whether or not coffee is good for health.
C. According to the study, the elderly can benefit greatly from drinking coffee.
D. Thanks to the study, coffee has been definitely proven to improve heart health. .

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.
A 500-year-old brewery in Bavaria, Germany has become an unlikely leader in the eco-friendly beer
making movement. The Hofmühl Brewery, founded in 1492, has reduced its carbon footprint by 40% over
the past two decades through solar panels and efficient water filtration, while making use of excess grains.
Family-run since 1876, Hofmühl Brewery’s owner Benno Emslander took over in 1993, growing annual
production from 15,000 hectoliters to 80,000, while offering 12 varieties of beer. In 2012, Emslander
invested €190,000 in a heat and power unit that produces electricity from a mix of natural gas and thermal
energy from solar panels. The unit paid for itself in four years and now meets half the brewery’s electricity
demands. Plans are being drawn up for further investments to boost efficiency in the future, including
installing photovoltaic panels to produce electricity directly from the sun, and sourcing natural gas from
the fermentation of organic waste like leftover grains from the brewing process.
After fermentation, 98% of Hofmühl’s beer is packaged in recyclable kegs or bottles, while excess grains
and yeast from the brewing process are sold to farms as livestock feed or fertilizer — an increasingly
common practice for beer makers. None of these developments, however, should get in the way of the
customers’ experience, stressed Johannes Jung, Hofmühl’s plant manager and brewmaster. “Of course, we
don’t want to change the taste or flavor because of our production process,” he said. “I don’t think that
they buy our beer because of the eco-friendly production.”
Outside of Germany, some major beer producers have quietly caught on to the eco-friendly model. The
world’s second-largest beer maker, Heineken, says 34% of its agriculture is now sourced sustainably, and
it has installed thousands of solar panels in its breweries in Europe, the United States and Singapore. Sierra
Nevada Brewing Co., the largest independently-owned brewery in the United States, operates with a zero-
waste policy by reusing nearly all of its byproduct.
In Britain, Bedlam Brewery has recently seen a shift in customer recognition for its eco-focused beer.
Since launching in 2015 with the help of a German brewmaster, Bedlam relocated to a solar-powered farm
outside of Brighton, marketing eight varieties including a vegan option. “They are caring more now than
they did in 2015,” said Sally O’Connor, Bedlam’s communication manager, citing better public
understanding of environmental wastage.
