PART II: READING

……………………………………………..

1 Music has been around for centuries and is widely used as a

means of communication even when there was no other common
language. For example, in all cultures, the music of the ancient flutes
and drums, the religious songs and the lullabies sung by mothers to
their babies have played a major role in people’s lives. This
connection that people have with music attracted the attention of
advertisers about a century ago. They observed the emotions that
music created in people and concluded that music could have
significant effects in promoting products. Today, they still support
this idea and they make every effort to include music in product
advertising.
2 It was during World War II that an advertising “jingle”, a short
piece of music that includes a slogan and a product name, was
broadcast over the radio in the US. Made for Pepsi-Cola with the title
“Nickel, Nickel”, the jingle has been considered to be one of the most
successful jingles ever written. It was recorded in more than 55
different languages for the US citizens all around the country. Before
“Nickel, Nickel”, no other jingle was heard on the radio across the
US. It was played hundreds of times a day and people never seemed
to get bored of listening to it. Advertisers had successfully created a
catchy jingle: In a short period of time, thousands of people could
remember its melody and words. Moreover, consumers could easily
recognize the name of the product thanks to the famous jingle.
3 The link between music and advertising became even stronger
in the late 20 century. Specifically, in the 1980s, some advertisers
th

moved beyond jingles and they started to control the music of famous
artists. Because they paid these artists large amounts of money, they
were able to use their songs freely in TV commercials. By using
popular music in commercials, advertisers could attract the attention
of a specific consumer group. For example, soft drinks advertisers
chose artists like Madonna, who was popular with teenagers. With
the help of Madonna’s music, Pepsi-Cola appeared more trustworthy
in young people’s minds. In other words, these consumers associated
their favourite song with the quality of the product, telling
themselves that the product was good and therefore, worth buying.
4 Unfortunately, the connection between music and advertisers
has not always been accepted with enthusiasm by fans. For example,
when the song “Revolution” written by John Lennon, who was
against consumerism, was used to advertise sports shoes in the 1990s,
his fans were not pleased. Nike, the shoe company, received
thousands of letters complaining about its TV commercial.
Additionally, it had to pay a lot of money to those who said that the
company had broken copyright* laws. This shows that choosing the
wrong music to advertise a product can actually be quite risky.
5 Today, modern advertisers still look for good music to use in
commercials. Sentence Insertion: See question 7 How much a
company will make after using a successful pop song in its
advertisement is not possible to say exactly. The value of good
music, however, is big because of its psychological effects on
humans. Lively pop music creates feelings of pleasure and
satisfaction. When the music that is used in a commercial is
entertaining, it leads to positive feelings in viewers. Furthermore,
scientific studies show that music also has some physical effects on
humans. For example, in an experiment, the heartbeat of 95% of the
participants increased when they listened to lively dance music.
Based on these results, it can be concluded that a commercial with
lively music affects the viewers greatly and it raises their interest in
the advertised product.
6 All in all, in advertising, music links the consumer to the
product. In commercials, while the viewer is affected in a variety of
ways, music serves the advertiser’s main goal: to make consumers
buy the product.
*copyright: the legal right to control the production and selling of a
book, play, film, photograph, or piece of music

 THE WOLF BOY OF AGRA
1 In 1959, Times of India, an Indian newspaper, published the story
of a six-year-old boy who was returned to his parents after living with
wolves for four years. According to the story, the boy, when two years
old, was stolen at night as he was sleeping with his mother outside their
house. When the mother woke up, she saw a wolf running away and
realized that her baby was gone. Four years later, some soldiers, who
were hunting in the forest, found the child together with wolves near
Agra, a city in India.

2 For many, it may sound quite unbelievable that a boy can live
among animals until he is six years old. However, such stories have
always been common in India, where the climate is warm enough in
winter for a child to live outside. Also, researchers think that being
over 12 months old at the time of disappearance might increase the
chances of survival without parental care. According to the story in
Times of India, 13 feral children who survived were reported in India in
the first half of the 20 century. However, none of these children could
th

be returned to their parents except for the boy of Agra. This news
excited many scientists around the world because they would be able to
conduct studies both on the boy and his parents. They thought, as a
result, they might discover the influence of heredity on the
development of a child who spent his early years without any social
learning.

3 William Ogburn, an American sociologist, travelled to Agra to

visit the boy and his parents as soon as he heard the news. When he
met the boy, Ogburn observed that he could not talk, but made some
animal sounds instead. Also, he was eating uncooked meat without
using his hands. When Ogburn asked his parents about the boy’s
behaviors before he got lost, they reported that they had not realized
any abnormality in their child’s body or behaviors before they lost him.
They said he could even talk. Ogburn also interviewed one of the
soldiers who found the boy. The soldier reported that the boy never
talked to him and never seemed happy for being rescued. However,
unlike what was written in Times of India, the soldier said that there
were no animals near the boy when he saw him. Besides, he added that
he found the boy almost 50 kilometers away from the place where he
was stolen by the wolf. “In fact, 50 kilometers is a long distance for a
wolf to carry a child,” said the soldier.

4 Later on, Ogburn wrote an article about his observations and

interviews in Agra. In the article, he claimed, “Believing that the boy
of Agra was raised by animals is the easiest way to explain why he has
animal traits and behavior. However, the study I conducted in Agra has
shown that we do not have enough evidence to support this
explanation. Also, because the boy was able to talk before he got lost,
we cannot suggest that he had inherited learning disabilities. After my
observations in Agra, I am sure that the boy lived without any human
contact for four years and never went through a normal socialization
during these years”. Ogburn added that it was impossible to fully
understand the reasons for his behavior without conducting more
detailed studies.

SELF-STUDY TEXT 5

WOMEN AND THEIR ROLE IN SCIENCES

1 A recent report by the American Association of University Women (AAUW) found that although women
have made progress in sciences and maths, cultural attitudes still do not allow them to achieve greater success.
With the report, the AAUW aimed at finding not only the reason for this limited success but also ways of
increasing the number of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. “We have studied
carefully all the research that has been done so far,” said Catherine Hill, the main author of the report. “We have
found that small things can bring about a change in attitude. For example, teaching children that ability in maths
is not fixed or unchangeable, but that it grows with effort and work and can sometimes make a big difference.”

2 Changing attitudes is not easy, but it becomes more difficult when it is transmitted by educators and teachers.
Five years ago, Lawrence Summers, a university professor, caused a heated discussion. He suggested that the
small number of women in sciences is mainly due to the fact that men and women are born with different brain
structures. The AAUW investigated whether natural physical differences between the sexes can explain why
there are more men than women at the highest levels of science and maths. The report admits the fact that there
are differences in male and female brain structures. However, it argues that none of the studies have found a
connection between them and the mathematical abilities that men and women have.

3 According to the AAUW report, the girls’ performance is affected negatively by teacher feedback stating that
they do poorly at maths and science. In one experiment, college students with similar abilities in maths were
divided into two groups, each consisted of both boys and girls and they were tested on their ability in maths. One
group was told that boys performed better on the test, while the other group was told that there was no difference
in performance between the sexes. SENTENCE INSERTION: See Question 5 In the first group, which was
told that boys do better, boys indeed did much better, with an average score of 25 compared with the girls’ score
of 5. In the second group, which was told there was no such difference, girls scored 15 and boys 16. The
experiment proved that girls have less confidence in their abilities in maths than boys with the same achievement
levels. As most people choose careers where they believe they can do well, girls’ lack of confidence in their
skills may explain why fewer young women prefer scientific careers.

4 At the highest level of abilities in maths, boys have always represented the largest number, but the report
found that this is changing quickly. Thirty years ago, a study was carried out among mathematically talented
teenagers. The findings of this study indicated that boys outnumbered girls 13 to 1. However, now, boys
outnumber girls only about 3 to 1. “Biological factors are not responsible for such a change because biological
characteristics change over very long periods of time,” Ms Hill said. “Factors related to biology could partially
explain why boys outnumber girls, but they are clearly not the only ones. The report found that the reason why
there are fewer women in sciences is closely related to important social factors such as cultural attitudes. As a
result, science remains an area largely dominated by men. “Until women and men are equally represented in
sciences, the AAUW will continue to send the message that women are capable of being more than great
mothers,” said Ms Hill.
Answer the following questions according to the text.

1. What do the underlined words refer to?

a. them (para 2) _________________________
b. they (para 4) __________________________

2. Which of the following arguments does the AAUW disagree with?

a. The brain structures of boys are different from those of girls.

b. Social attitudes towards women limit their contribution to sciences.
c. It is possible to develop maths abilities through studying and practicing.
d. Biology might fully explain the differences in people’s abilities.

3. Which of the following CANNOT be understood from paragraph 3?

a. If they are encouraged, girls do better than boys at mathematics.

b. Psychological factors play an important role in the maths performance of both sexes.
c. Females are greatly affected by what other people think of them.
d. Despite being as good as boys at maths, girls trust themselves less.

4. All of the following have resulted in low participation of women in science EXCEPT:

a. Negative cultural attitudes towards women

b. Women’s lack of confidence in their scientific skills
c. Women choosing careers outside a scientific field
d. Girls’ limited brain capacity

5. SENTENCE INSERTION: A sentence has been removed from paragraph 3. Choose the sentence
that
fits the best.

a. The study was not completed due to a lack of women scientists.

b. Indeed, the group members wanted to hear the feedback.
c. The results were quite different.
d. However, nothing has changed.

6. SENTENCE ANALYSIS: PARAGRAPH 4

“Until women and men are equally represented in sciences, AAUW will continue to send the message that
women are capable of being more than great mothers,” said Ms. Hill.
According to Ms. Hill, ______________.

a. women will be equally represented in sciences when they stop being great mothers
b. women can be great mothers as long as they are not equally represented in sciences
c. AAUW will stop giving its message when both sexes are equally represented in sciences
d. AAUW will send its message until the society understands that women are great mothers
