Most people would think of a sport as a competition in which participants demonstrate their
athletic skills such as physical strength, stamina, agility, and speed. However, humans recognized
centuries ago that many animals also possess such skills and could therefore be used in sporting
events. Today, major sports in which animals are involved include horse or dog racing and bull
fighting.
way of doing something
Animal sports probably began as friendly competitions between people wanting to show off
their animals, but the most popular ones quickly evolved into businesses in which large amounts of
money are involved. For instance, betting money is common practice at many horse races around the
world. Then there are companies that provide financial backing in exchange for being allowed to
advertise during an animal sporting event. And of course, in all these sports, skilled animals can be
quite profitable for the people who spend great amounts of time, effort and money to own, train, and
manage them. support

Some animals involved in the sports industry are well cared for during their athletic "careers",
but others are horribly abused. Sports animals that are less skilled, injured, past their prime, or
unwilling or unable to compete anymore have different prospects. Some retire and live comfortably,
whereas others are sold to the slaughterhouse to be killed.

The fate and well-being of animals in sports lie in the hands of humans. To some animal rights
activists, this is the root of the problem, which is why they focus their attention on uncovering,
publicizing, and outlawing practices in animal sports that they consider harmful to the animals. On the
other hand, many fans of animal sports feel that their right to enjoy a safe, recreational activity is
being threatened by those who do not understand the nature of these sports.

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..

Compared to friendships that begin outside work, which are often stronger and more
sustainable, work friendships are often tenuous, because they tend to be built almost only on shared
circumstances and casual interactions. These relationships with colleagues are usually what Ho Kwan
Cheung, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Albany in New York, calls
“friendships of convenience”.

“It‟s the person you talk to when you take a coffee break, or go to the pantry. The person who‟s
readily available when you have a problem because their desk is next to yours”, she further explains.
And now, without those opportunities for interaction while working from home, many have found
that their work friendships are fading, and finding other ways to maintain them virtually has not been
a major priority while navigating the chaos caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

However, there is good reason to invest in your work friendships, according to Cheung, whose
research centres on workplace discrimination and employee wellbeing. “They‟re not a distraction,” she
says. “A lot of us derive most of our social needs from those work relationships. They‟re what give
people a sense of belonging in their job. Sometimes, there‟s an idea that when you‟re spending time
with friends at work you won‟t get anything done and will only waste time, but the research says that
employee happiness depends on social interactions.”
 Productivity also benefits from workplace bonds. In a survey of more than 12,000 workers in
the US, Germany and India, management-consulting firm Boston Consulting Group found that more
than half the respondents who transitioned to working remotely during the pandemic reported a
drop in productivity when it came to collaborative tasks – things like working in teams and interacting
with clients. The analysis showed a direct link between productivity and social connections. Among
those who said they felt less connected to their colleagues since transitioning to remote work, 80%
said they were also less productive.

Establishing and maintaining strong workplace relationships can also contribute to professional
fulfilment. Results from a survey of US employees showed that more than half of respondents who
said they had a best friend at work also reported feeling passionate about their job, with a strong
connection to their company. Only 10% of people who didn‟t have a close friend at work could say
the same. “Work friendships are very important to job satisfaction,” says Cheung. “When you‟re
satisfied with your work and you enjoy being with your co-workers, it makes you more creative and a
better collaborator”.

In short, a sense of belonging among your colleagues makes you better at your job, and letting
those friendships lapse during the pandemic could make your work suffer.
