PAID IN FULL
A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had
admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer’s showroom and knowing his father could well afford
it, he told him that was all he wanted. As graduation day approached, the young man awaited for
signs that his father had purchased the car.
Finally, during the morning of his graduation, his father called him into a room. His father
told him how proud he was to have such a fine son and told him how much he loved him. He
handed his son a beautifully wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young
man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound book, with the young man’s name
embossed in gold. That was his favorite book. Yet, he was still angry. He shouted at his father
and said, ”With all your money, you only give me this book?” He left the room, ignoring his
father’s present.
Many years passed and the young man had become very successful in business. He had a
beautiful house and a wonderful family, but realized his father now was getting old and thought
perhaps he should visit him. He had not seen him since graduation day. Before he could make
the visit, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away and willed all his
possessions to his son. He needed to be home immediately to take care of things.
When he arrived at his father’s house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began
to search through his father’s important papers and saw the still gift-wrapped book, just as he had
left it years ago. With tears he opened the book and began to turn the pages. He read page by
page, chapter by chapter. As he continued reading through the book, a car key fell out the back
of the book. It had a tag with the dealer’s name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had
wanted. On the tag was the date of his graduation and the words Paid In Full.

There are a lot of research on both humans and animals on the effects of caffeine, and there is
often thought that too much is bad for us. There is no conclusive evidence to implicate caffeine
consumption as being significantly harmful to health, but there still is controversy with this, as
there are still some negative effects associated with caffeine consumption. Having some caffeine
daily is ok, but using food and exercise strategies listed below, will certainly help in reducing
fatigue and avoiding caffeine addiction.

Caffeine is a central nervous stimulant and can have some positive effects on the human body.
Caffeine in low doses is thought to be associated with an improvement in sporting performance,
increased alertness and reduction in fatigue potentially lifting a person’s mood. Coffee and tea
also contain some antioxidants which have positive effects on heart health.
However, increased amounts of caffeine lead to dependency due to increased tolerance and
hence, the need for greater amounts to gain the same stimulatory benefits. Heavy users who have
to go without it can experience withdrawal symptoms such as headaches and fatigue. Too much
caffeine can produce restlessness, nausea, sleep difficulties, upset stomach, increased urine
production causing dehydration, and cardiac arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats). It has also been
associated with elevated blood pressure in sensitive persons.
Both arguments might be correct. There is no clinical convincing evidence so far.
(Written by Clare
Wood)

24. What is being discussed in the text?

A. Why should people consume caffeine?
B. The beneficial of caffeine consumption.
C. The bad effects of caffeine consumption.

Chasing Dreams with ‘Coco’

Coco is an animated Disney movie directed by Lee Unkrich and produced by Darla K. Anderson,
both of whom worked on the critically acclaimed Toy Story 3.

The movie was inspired by the Mexican holiday, Dia de Muertos (Day of the Dead), during
which family members pray for deceased family members and help them move on into the
afterlife. The Day of the Dead is viewed as a time for celebration, rather than mourning.
Coco tells the story of Miguel, a 12 year old boy who dreamed of becoming a musician,
which family wasn’t very enthusiastic about. But an accident soon brought Miguel to the Land of
the Dead.
The story of Coco presents a simple but gripping conflict. Viewers will stay glued to the
edge of their seats to see what happens next in Miguel’s adventure. The movie’s cinematography
is classic Pixar, gorgeous from start to finish, and the unique character designs are charming.
Another thumbs-up goes to the voice actors who bring their characters to life and mix in
Spanish-language bits with heavy accents. Adding to the Mexican flavor is the vibrant Latin
music, with song like “Remember Me”, “Un Poco Loco” and “Everyone Knows Juanita”.
Coco is rich in lessons of morality, making it the perfect family going experience. It raises
themes of family love and invites viewers never to stop chasing their dreams.

Tablets vs Books
Fast development of modern technologies such as computer, cell phone and tablets bring
many advantages in human life. Almost every sector such as work, entertainment, and education
are now depending on technology. In educational sector, for example, there is a policy to use
tablets to replace textbooks. This policy makes a major debate among society. Some people
agree that tablets will make teaching-learning process better but some other thinks not.
Among those who agree, tablets bring some benefits. First, tablets help students learn more
material faster. Technology-based instruction can reduce the time students take to reach a
learning objective by 30-80%, according to the US Department of Education and studies by the
National Training and Simulation Association. Second, tablets can hold hundreds of textbooks
on one device, plus homework, quizzes, and other files, eliminating the need for physical storage
of books and classroom materials. The average tablet contains anywhere from 8 to 64 gigabytes
(GB) of storage space. Third, tablets contain many technological features that cannot be found in
print textbooks. Tablets give users the ability to highlight and edit text and write notes without
ruining a textbook for the next user. Tablets have a search function, a backlighting option to read
in low light, and a built-in dictionary. Interactive diagrams, games and videos increase student
creativity, motivation, attentiveness, and engagement with classroom activities.
In other hand, people who disagree with the use of tablets point out several reasons. First,
handheld technological devices including tablets are associated with a range of health problems
such as eyestrain, headaches, blurred vision, and dry eyes. Second, using tablets is more
expensive than using print textbooks. A broken tablet also requires an experienced technician to
fix, which can be costly and time-consuming. Plus, tablets constantly need charging, increasing
electricity demands on schools and the need for new electrical outlets. Third, tablets have too
many distractions for classroom use. Students may pay attention to apps, email, games, and
websites instead of their teachers. Tablets also enable students to cheat on schoolwork.
In conclusion, tablets indeed bring so many advantages in education especially in teaching
learning process. However, we must see the other factors whether tablets are suitable to be used
in educational institution now or later. We cannot deny that tablets are so expensive with its
entire means of support. It is not fair if we allocate the entire budget to tablets while there are so
many schools which need more important facilities such as school buildings, classrooms,
libraries, clean toilets, and so forth.
