84 SET 1: TRIAL SPM 2021-2022 Parkour is a new and exciting sport that people are performing around the world. Parkour is a French word for 'the art of movement'. It was created by David Belle out of his imagination, his heritage and from his desire during childhood to find the means to move through the world in an efficient and fluid way. The objective of parkour is getting point A to point B as quickly and efficiently as possible. It is a combination of vaults, landings, precision, discipline and confidence. Raymond Belle, David Belle's father was a fireman in France and served in the military. As a fireman and military officer, he needed to have a way to get from one place to another but it was not like getting on a train and going to work. it was a matter of life and death. For example, he needed to know what was the fastest and most efficient way to get into the burning building, save as many people as possible and get out alive. About fifteen years after David was born in Marine Seine, France, his father told him all of his 'war' stories and taught him his life-saving techniques. David was extremely fascinated and thought he could put these strategies together in a fun and confident way. He taught his friend, Sebastian Foucan the technique and together, they started jumping around. Little did he know that what he started would have such a large following and made such an impact on so many people in the world today. Parkour is not just like any other sport, it is a way of life and it changes your perspective of everything you see in the urban and rural environment, involuntarily. You cannot help but see opportunities for performing parkour in your surroundings as you walk, drive or visit new areas either in the country or the city. Once you do parkour you can no longer see things as they are , they always become opportunities that scream out, "I can do parkour here!" For example, for someone who does not do parkour, they see a picnic table as a simple structure made of wood created to eat or sit on, while a traceur would see it as an obstacle to vault over. A traceur is a French word for parkour partaker. Although parkour is a dangerous and a heart-stopping sport, it can be beautiful. It is not just jumping around without any purpose, it is a movement, utilising the abilities of the human body with its surrounding. One cannot exactly call parkour a sport, not because it is not an official sport but in parkour you are competing against yourself. A traceur must not be doing parkour to impress other people but do it because they truly love everything about the challenges and the benefits it provides. There are not only physical benefits but also mental benefits. You set goals and increase your confidence in parkour, which affects your life on the whole. If you are not confident that you can accomplish a particular move, then you should not try it, you have to visualise yourself doing a vault for example, and then attempt it with complete confidence. There are many risks associated with parkour and precautions you need to know before attempting to push the limits of your body. First off all, one of the most important points about rolling or jumping from somewhere is you do not want to bend your knees more than 90 degrees, otherwise you can cause serious damage to your knees, back and spine in the future. Question 19 to 26 are based on the following passage Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer A,B,C or D. For each questions, mark your answer on the answer sheet. SET 1: TRIAL SPM 2021-2022 25. Below are the injury on the body mentioned in the passage except A. The art of movement B. Efficient way to move around C. Performance around the world D.

About 42 per cent of Britons think ghosts actually exits. A survey by the national Opinion Poll found almost two-thirds of those i Scotland and northern England admitted to having seen or felt presence of a ghost. Those in Scotland and northern England admitted to having seen or felt the presence of ghost. Those in the south and older people had more doubts about the existence of ghosts. So, what is that makes people feel this way? Some scientists think they may have the answer. One theory is that people are prepared to believe in ghosts because of their knowledge of a place. It is probable that the kind of stories they hear about a certain place encourage people to believe in ghosts. When they hear scary stories about a place, people are more likely to feel scared when they visit it. Some ancient castles and palaces have histories of murders and mysteries which feed the imaginations of people who believe in ghosts. No wonder visitors to these places often expect them to be haunted! Odd noises that would not worry visitors in their own homes suddenly appear quite spooky! Scientists who carried out experiments with volunteers in Hampton Court Palace, England and the South Bridge Vaults in Edinburg, Scotland - two of the most famous haunted places in Britain-reported some interesting results. They found that people’s strange experiences usually happened in the same parts of the building. The scientists think that some people are affected by the environment of the haunted building. It is darkness, the cold, sudden drops in temperature and perhaps even some barely noticeable noice that affect their bodies, creating the feeling in their minds that something is not ‘quite right’. Research has also shown a possible connection between magnetic fields and the feelings that a place is haunted. Magnetic fields are the areas that occur naturally but vary from place to place. Although we cannot see the forces in these areas, it is possible that they have an effect on the human body. Tests in laboratories have shown that small changes in magnetic fields can cause people to experience odd feelings. This could explain why the places which volunteers felt were most haunted were also the areas where there were the greatest changes in magnetic field. What about the feeling that some people report of a ghostly presence in the comfort of their own home? Experts say many people’s experiences of ghosts are easy to explain. People often have these experiences as they are falling asleep or waking up. In these situations, people are half asleep, half awake and they see a face or a person near their bed. Sometimes these are people they recognise. These are quite common experience, a little research into these experience, so people often called them as ghosts.

Read the text carefully and answer the questions that follows. B - Mango The mango is a juicy stone fruit originated in South Asia. It is the national fruit of India, Pakistan, and the Philippines. Mango fruits take three to six months to ripen, and it cannot survive extreme heat or cold. Mangoes contain a range of nutrients, however vitamin C is the only one that is present in a large amount. C - Kiwifruit The kiwifruit is an oval-shaped fruit with a thin, hairy brown skin. The fruit was named kiwifruit in 1959 after New Zealand's national symbol - the kiwi bird because its brown skin is similar to the feathers of the bird. The kiwifruit is very nutritious, containing many vitamins and minerals. They have more vitamin C than oranges of the same size. D- Durian The durian is one of those fruits that people either love or hate. Popular in Southeast Asia, durian is described as sweet-tasting with an intensely pungent smell. Inside the thorny exterior is a soft creamy fruit that some may describe as ‘rotten mushy onions’. For those who love the ‘king of fruits’, it is an excellent source of vitamins C and B6, thiamin, riboflavin, folate, and niacin. E - Coconut The coconut is a fruit, not a nut, and its name comes from the Spanish word which means head for the fruit resembles a human head. Coconuts are used in everything from cooking to frying to soaps and cosmetics. In some countries, the coconut has cultural and religious importance, particularly in India, where it is used in Hindu rites. Young coconuts are picked for their drinkable coconut water, which is a good source of vitamin C, riboflavin, and calcium but is high in sodium. F - Noni Fruit The noni fruit which is originated in Australia, Asia and the Polynesian islands is roughly the size of a mango and is normally eaten for its potential health benefits.

The participants were asked to rethink the construction and design of individual homes so that they were easily adaptable to less mobile inhabitants, and also to create communities in which ageing occupants could continue to enjoy shared amenities. The top design also had to be attractive to its potential buyers, because the competition was put to the public vote. The winner, gaining 12,000 votes from Mail on Sunday readers, was the strikingly modern SunnySideUp, designed by Kosi Architects. Here are its three main features: 1. Upside Down House [2] The architects took as a starting point the accepted norm for a house – rows of houses facing onto streets crammed with cars, with living rooms on the ground floor and bedrooms above. Then they scrapped it. They ended up with the living room, dining room and kitchen on the top floor where they can benefit from the light and views, and maximise energy efficiency. And they put the bedrooms on the ground floor where the garden aspect gives inhabitants increased privacy, and a cool temperature is maintained throughout the day. The two floors are linked by wide, gentle gradient stairs, which are designed to allow for a stairlift to be fitted if necessary as owners age. 2. Concealed Parking Spaces [3] But the feature that, according to Warren Rosing, one of the Kosi architects responsible for the design, was particularly popular with the public, is actually the parking. In a SunnySideUp development, no one has to look out onto a street full of cars or worry about their kids being run over because the terrace zone at the first-floor level links all the homes and is a car-free zone. Vehicles are tucked away on the lower floor, leaving safe and pleasant spaces outside the houses for people to meet, and kids to play. A lift takes people directly from the garage to the living area, so that all residents, including the elderly and those with heavy shopping, can move comfortably between the floors. The natural feel of the front area is enhanced by the planters that are placed outside the kitchens at the front to encourage residents to grow vegetables and flowers where they can be seen. The idea is that not only would they look pretty, but they would be a talking point, encouraging interaction between residents on the terrace area outside. 3. Flexible Spaces [4] But it’s the fact that space is designed to adapt to the changing needs, including the fluctuating income of its owners, that makes it a thought-provoking, as well as winning, design. The lower-floor bedrooms have separate outdoor access so they can be easily let. The idea is that owners can get some extra money to pay for their mortgages during the first years. And later in the future, those bedrooms can be used as a granny flat, or an office, and can easily be converted into a separate one-bed flat if your kids won’t leave home. And if more space is required, as well as the usual loft that can be converted, there is potential for a gallery floor to be inserted in the living room. 4. Where can you get one? [5] At the moment the SunnySideUp house is still just a set of drawings. But Warren Rosing says, “We are hoping to have it built.” The organisers are in talks with builders, but due to the economic climate it may take longer than we would like.” Weʼre sure it will be worth the wait” they say.
