In the 1970s, many people became concerned about energy. People had to face up to the fact
that they used too much energy, and energy sources were not going to last forever. One
architect, Michael Reynolds, decided to do something. He set out to design homes that were
cheaper to build and more energy efficient. In addition, he wanted to do something about all
the garbage. Finally, he came up with the idea of “earthships.”
Although it sounds like a boat, an earthship is a house. However, unlike regular houses,
earthships are constructed from garbage and are built using only ten percent of the energy
needed to build a typical house. Moreover, after they are built, earthships use only ten percent
of the energy required to heat, light, and cool a regular home. Although earthships sound
unique, they can actually be built to look just like any other house.
One of the big benefits of earthships is that they are made from recycled materials. The main
construction material of an earthship is used tires that are filled with dirt. The dirt-filled tires
are then laid flat and stacked like bricks. Because the tires are round, there is lots of extra
space between the columns of tires. These spaces are filled with used cardboard. The tires
and cardboard form the outside walls of an earthship. Another benefit of an earthship is that it
saves energy and natural resources. For example, an earthship uses less water. Rain water,
which is collected on the roof, is used for drinking and bathing.
All of these features make earthships very environmentally friendly. That’s one of the reasons
they have become popular throughout the world. Earthships have been built in Bolivia,
Australia, Mexico, Japan, Canada, England, Scotland, and all over the US. Maybe in the near
future, an earthship will be landing near you!
(Adapted from Reading Challenge 3 by Casey Malarcher and Andrea Janzen)

B. Earthships were meant to fly.
C. Naturally better homes.
D. There’s no place like home.
Question 32. According to the passage, which is special about “earthships”?

A. People will finally find a renewable source of energy.
B. Rain water from the roof of an earthship can be only suitable for domestic activities.
C. Many countries have started to embrace earthships given their advantages.
D. Michael Reynolds used all of the garbage in his home to construct ‘earthships’.
Until relatively recently, newspapers were our primary source of daily news. They must now
compete, however, with online news, social media and television in a progressively digital
age. The internet is changing the way people get their news, leaving a dwindling audience
willing to pay for their daily paper. But given that the form first emerged in early-17th
century Europe, it’s probably about time the medium got overhauled. Newspapers have
witnessed an extraordinary era of change: from the evolution of democratic institutions and
political parties to the reshaping of whole countries and continents.
By the end of the 19th century, newspapers were using a visual template not unlike those of
today, and had become the source of not only large profits but also unaccountable political
and social influence for their owners – a trend that has continued to the present day.
Newspapers prospered in this form for more than 150 years, and in many countries, daily life
would have been inconceivable without access to one. But in many places, the continuing
existence of newspapers is under threat.
Circulation figures for all types of newspapers, local, regional and national, bear out the fact
that, in many Western nations at least, sales of printed newspapers had been falling for many
years prior to the emergence of the internet. What is also beyond question, though, is that the
arrival and exponential growth of the World Wide Web, leading to near-universal coverage,
has accelerated this process greatly. Observing the rapidity and extent of this process around
the world provides a fascinating insight into social change.
We now live in an age where speed and convenience have gained precedence over reliability
and quality in most aspects of our existence. Regarding the former, newspapers only allow
readers to get updated about events some considerable time after they have actually
happened, while online users can access them more or less at the moment at which they
occur. Printed newspapers, therefore, provide a less efficient source of news and,
furthermore, do so in a less environmentally-friendly way than the internet, and at a direct
cost to the consumer. Moreover, with news also available on tap through social media,
consumers are continually bombarded from all sides, and therefore may not wish to have
each story explained in great detail, as is the case in much of the printed media. Social media
sites have also proven to be one of the most effective means of getting information out
rapidly, and on a huge scale: news can now be tweeted before the mainstream media have
even started their coverage.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c, or D on your answer sheet to
Since the 19th century, companies have looked for better and cleaner ways of creating
electricity. One UK company has created a special type of floor made of square tiles. Under
each square, there is a system that can create electricity very cheaply when someone steps on
it!
The design of the floor works very well when it is used in very busy areas. And the reason is
that a lot of energy is created simply because of the large numbers of people walking across
the floor.
The floor can have other uses too; one of them is to record how many people visit a shopping
centre. This kind of information is very useful for shop owners because very often they want
to know at which times of days they have the highest numbers of customers, so the next time
you visit shopping centre, have a careful look at the floor that you are walking across!
(Adapted from Preliminary for Schools Trainer)
Question 31. What is the passage mainly about?

A. A shopping centre that sells electricity.
B. A difficulty in creating electricity.
C. A new way to build houses.
D. A special floor that creates electricity.

A. Someone cleans it

A. Kind
B. False
C. Careful
D. Helpful
Question 34. The word they in paragraph 3 refers to .
A. People
B. Shop owners
C. Times
D. Days
Question 35. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a good thing about the floor in the

Today, text-messaging has probably become young people’s most common form of
communication. Some teachers think that because of this, young people are not writing
correctly at school. They fear that once students get used to it, they will find it hard to switch
back to using correct grammar and spelling. How did things begin this way?
It all began with e-mail, online chat rooms, and games. Then step by step young people made
sentences, phrases and words shorter. As text-messaging continued to become popular,
people invented more and more words. Today, it is like a real language with its own grammar
and vocabulary. The growth of text-messaging has raised an important question: As students
become fluent in text messaging, do their writing skills suffer?
People have different ideas about the effects of text-messaging on students’ writing skills.
Some say that students are losing the ability to write long, correct sentences. Others say that
text-messaging is having a good effect on the language students use in then schoolwork. It
shows that they are creative and good at expressing themselves. And if students can keep the
two systems separate - one for text messaging and one for school - this will help students
appreciate reading and writing more.
Some people suggest that one way to reduce the bad effects of text-messaging is to find ways
to use technology as a positive learning tool. For example, students can be allowed to type
their assignments in a cell phone message and send them to their teachers, but they must type
correctly. In this way, students are using the technology that they are familiar with to
communicate in a form of language suitable for schoolwork. It shows students that text-
messaging is fine for social communication, but correct grammar and spelling are necessary
for communication in school.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on you answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Marcel Bich, a French manufacturer of traditional ink pens, was the man who turned the
ballpoint pen into an item that today almost anyone can afford. Bich was appalled at the poor
quality of the ballpoint pens that were available, and was also shocked at their high cost.
However, he recognised that the ballpoint was a firmly established invention, and he decided
to design a cheap pen that worked well and would be commercially successful.
Bich went to the Biro brothers and asked them if he could use the design of their original
invention in one of his own pens. In return, he offered to pay them every time he sold a pen.
Then, for two years, Bich studied the detailed construction of every ballpoint pen that was
being sold, often working with a microscope.
By 1950, he was ready to introduce his new wonder: a plastic pen with a clear barrel that
wrote smoothly, did not leak and only cost a few cents. He called it the 'Bic Cristal'. The
ballpoint pen had finally become a practical writing instrument. The public liked it
immediately, and today it is as common as the pencil. In Britain, they are still called Biros,
and many Bic models also say 'Biro' on the side of the pen, to remind people of their original
inventors.
Bich became extremely wealthy thanks to his invention, which had worldwide appeal. Over
the next 60 years his company, Societe Bic, opened factories all over the world and expanded
its range of inexpensive products. Today, Bic is as famous for its lighters and razors as it is
for its pens, and you can even buy a Bic mobile phone.
(Adapted from Complete IELTS Workbook by Rawdon Wyatt)

A study was set up to examine the old marriage advice about whether it's more important to
be happy or to be right. Couples therapists sometimes suggest that in an attempt to avoid
constant arguments, spouses weigh up whether pressing the point is worth the misery of
marital discord. The researchers from the University of Auckland noticed that many of their
patients were adding stress to their lives by insisting on being right, even when it worked
against their well-being.
The researchers then found a couple who were willing to record their quality of life on a scale
of 1 to
10. They told the man, who wanted to be happy more than right, about the purpose of the
study and asked him to agree with every opinion and request his wife had without complaint,
even when he profoundly didn't agree. The wife was not informed of the purpose of the study
and just asked to record her quality of life.
Things went rapidly downhill for the couple. The man's quality-of-life scores fell, from 7 to
3, over the course of the experiment. The wife's scores rose modestly, from 8 to 8.5, before
she became hostile to the idea of recording the scores. Rather than creating harmony, the
husband's agreeableness led to the wife becoming increasingly critical of what he did and said
in the husband's opinion). After 12 days he broke down, and the study was called off because
of "severe adverse outcomes."
The researchers concluded, shockingly, that humans need to be right and acknowledged as
right, at least some of the time, to be happy. They also noted this was further proof that if
given too much power, humans tend to "assume the alpha position and, as with chimpanzees,
they become very aggressive and dangerous." It is often said that there can be no peace
without justice, and that's true of domestic sphere. Obviously the results are to be taken with
extreme caution, since this was just one couple with who- knows-what underlying issues
beforehand. But the study's chief author, Dr. Bruce Arroll, maintains that the question of
happiness vs. Rightness, theoretically, could be settled by scientific inquiry with a wider
sample. “This would include a randomized controlled trial,” he says. "However, we would be
reluctant to do the definitive study because of the concern about divorce."

Today we hear more and more about the importance of getting enough sleep. Sleep can give
energy to both our bodies and our brains. It can also affect our feelings, behaviour, and
memory.
Studies have shown that people in some countries spend less time sleeping and more time
working. But our bodies cannot work well without enough sleep. Losing just one or two
hours of sleep a night, over a long period of time, can badly affect our health. We cannot
work for many hours; we can get angry easily; and we can even lose our IQ points. That
explains why, without enough sleep, an intelligent person may have difficulty doing daily
tasks.
Studies have also shown that the time of year seems to affect how much sleep we need.
People usually sleep longer in the winter, sometimes as much as 14 hours a night. However,
in the summer, they sometimes sleep as little as six hours, without having any problems.

A. Ways to sleep better
B. The importance of sleep
C. Causes of losing sleep
D. Benefits of getting up early
Question 40. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 1 as something that can
be affected by sleep?
A. Behaviour

C. Feelings
D. Diet
Question 41. According to paragraph 2, which of the following can be a consequence of
losing sleep?
A. People can finish their daily tasks.
B. Our health becomes worse.
C. Our bodies can work better.
D. People have less time to work.
Question 42. The word “intelligent” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _____.
A. Angry
B. Ugly
C. Careful
D. Clever
Question 43. The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to _____.
A. Problems
B. Studies
C. People
D. Hours
As the Internet has become more and more popular, we may be reading a great deal more
than we used to. However, the way we are reading materials on the Internet, or online
reading, is very different from the way we traditionally read printed materials.
In the traditional way of reading, we would start at the beginning of a book and read through
to the end. In online reading, in contrast, we start reading a page, but may never finish it
because a link on that page leads us to a passage on a different page, and so on. As we go
from one page to another, we have to remember lots of different ideas at the same time. This
new way of reading is quite different from the traditional one.
There are both advantages and disadvantages of online reading. In online reading, the brain
gets better than ever at doing many tasks at the same time, or multitasking; and thanks to this,
we can work quickly and think creatively. Multitasking is useful in certain working
environments, but it also makes it more difficult for us to read at a deep level. We are,
therefore, much less likely to analyse what we read in a critical way, or gain any real insight
into the contents we are reading. This might lead to a future when a whole new generation
lacks the ability to think critically and deeply about what they are reading.
The world is changing and our brains are probably changing to meet new demands in the
modern world, just as they have always done throughout history. However, it is important for
us to consider how to maintain our critical, deeper reading skills, while still dealing with
online reading materials.
Question 44. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Less Reading, More Problems?
B. Is Reading Changing Technology?
C. More Reading, Less Analysis?
D. Is Technology Changing Writing?
Question 45. According to paragraph 2, as we read a page online, we _____.
A. Tend to read the last part before anything else
B. May not finish reading the whole page
C. Always read from the beginning till the end
D. Never read the first part of the page
Question 46. The word “tasks” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _____.
A. Exams
B. Talks
C. Interviews
D. Jobs
Question 47. The word “it” in paragraph 3 refers to _____.
A. Online reading
B. The brain
C. Multitasking
D. What we read
Question 48. The word “insight” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _____.
A. Attitude
B. Status
C. Respect
D. Understanding
A. Possibly our brains are changing to meet new demands in the modern world.
B. Multitasking enables us to work quickly and think creatively.
C. In the traditional way of reading, we would read from the beginning through to the end.
D. We read online materials in the same way as we read printed materials.
A. Online reading maintains critical and deeper reading skills.
B. The brain does not play an important role in the traditional way of reading.
C. We used to read much more in the past than we do now.
D. The traditional way of reading allows people to read at a deep level.

For Sean O'Brien, it was just an ordinary night out with friends. He knew that people
sometimes mocked him for being overweight, and he was usually able to shrug it off. But this
time, as well as laughing at him in person, someone decided to publicly fat-shame him by
posting a video of him dancing online, with a hurtful comment. Sean was completely
unaware of it, but the post about him was shared widely, and it prompted a wave of abuse
from immature Internet trolls.
However, as well as the cyberbullies, other people were watching. A group of women in
California, who were campaigning to encourage people to have a positive body image
whatever their size, decided to take action. They put out a message on Twitter, inviting Sean
on an all-expenses- paid trip from London to Los Angeles, to meet and dance with them.
When Sean's friends first told him about the search for dancing man, he figured it was a bit of
nonsense which would soon blow over, and decided not to bother doing anything about it.
But the movement got bigger and bigger. Sean rethought his decision, made contact, and the
women - all 1,700 of them - started raising money to throw him an extra-special party in LA.
He went to the party in California. Sean had assumed that just a few people would turn up,
but he realised his mistake as soon as he saw over 1,000 people queuing to get into the
nightclub! Sean danced all night and the story of how he and the women's group in California
took a stance against cyberbullying was reported around the world. As a result of the event,
some of the women set up Dance Free Movement, an online forum where anyone who felt
they had been bullied or victimized could receive support. The 'dancing man' himself has
become a fundraiser for several anti-bullying charities.
Sean commented in an interview at the time that he was amazed that something which started
out so badly, had become such a positive movement. He said that he had actually never really
thought about the people who posted the original images, concluding that they must have
their own insecurities, to put the spotlight on someone else so maliciously. Sean certainly had
the last laugh. We are often told that the best idea is not to give bullies any attention, but it
may be that the best way to deal with cyberbullying is to act as these women did and be brave
enough to make it clear that we are uncomfortable with this kind of behaviour, that we

Australians place a high value on independence and personal choice. This means that a
teacher or course tutor will not tell students what to do, but will give them a number of
options and suggest they work out which one is the best in their circumstances. It also means
that they are expected to take action if something goes wrong and seek out resources and
support for themselves.
Australians are also prepared to accept a range of opinions rather than believing there is one
truth. This means that in an educational setting, students will be expected to form their own
opinions and defend the reasons for that point of view and the evidence for it.
Australians are uncomfortable with differences in status and hence idealise the idea of
treating everyone equally. An illustration of this is that most adult Australians call each other
by their first names. This concern with equality means that Australians are uncomfortable
taking anything too seriously and are even ready to joke about themselves.
Australians believe that life should have a balance between work and leisure time. As a
consequence, some students may be critical of others who they perceive as doing nothing but
study. Australian notions of privacy mean that areas such as financial matters, appearance
and relationships are only discussed with close friends. While people may volunteer such
information, they may resent someone actually asking them unless the friendship is firmly
established. Even then, it is considered very impolite to ask someone what they earn. With
older people, it is also rude to ask how old they are, why they are not married or why they do
not have children. It is also impolite to ask people how much they have paid for something,
unless there is a very good reason for asking.

Have you ever felt that there aren't enough hours in the day? These days we have to do our
jobs, look after our homes, save energy to help the environment, and do exercise to stay
healthy! Like many of us, Alex Gadsden never had enough time. He ran a business and a
home and needed to lose weight. So he decided to do something about it. He invented the
cycle washer. The 29-year-old now starts each day with a 45-minute cycle ride. He not only
feels healthier but he saves on his energy bills and does the washing too.
He said, "It gives the user a good workout. I've only used it for two weeks but i've already
noticed a difference." "I tend to get up at around six-thirty now and get straight on the cycle
washer. I keep it in the garden, so it's nice to get out in the fresh air. Afterwards, I feel full of
energy. Then I generally have breakfast and a shower and I really feel ready to start the day."
The green washing machine uses 25 litres of water a wash, and takes enough clothes to fill a
carrier bag. He normally cycles for 25 minutes to wash the clothes, and then for another 20
minutes to dry them. And it doesn't use any electricity, of course. Mr Gadsden, the boss of a
cleaning company, believes his machine could become very popular. With an invention
which cleans your clothes, keeps you fit and reduces your electricity bill, he may well be
right.

Los Angeles dancer, Brian Perez, was eating out with his friends one evening when suddenly
everyone went quiet. To his horror, he saw that the reason for this was that people were
checking their phones. Realising he had to do something to stop this, Brian made a rather
daring suggestion. What if they all put their gadgets in a pile in the middle of the table until
they had finished the meal? If anyone picked up their phone, that person would have to pay
the whole bill. And so, it is said, the game of 'phone stacking' was born.
The necessity for action like this highlights a major problem in today's society: our inability
to disconnect from technology. But while Brian's idea deals with the obsession in a social
context, measures also need to be taken at home. Some people drop their smartphones into a
box the moment they arrive home, which gives them the chance to interact with the people
they live with. The fact that the phone cannot be heard - it is on silent - nor seen - the flashing
lights are hidden by the box - means that they are no longer tempted to use it.
A less drastic solution is to ban electronic devices at certain times of day when the whole
family is likely to be together, for example at meal times. This can be hard for everyone, from
teenagers desperate to text friends to parents unable to switch off from work. On a normal
day, however, dinner takes less than an hour, and the benefits of exchanging opinions and
anecdotes with the rest of the family certainly makes up for the time spent offline.
Taking a break from technology is one thing, but knowing when to turn off a device is
another. Time seems to stand still in the virtual world, and before you know it, you find that it
is three o'clock in the morning. This is where a digital curfew comes in handy, a set time
when all devices must be put away. Evenings without technology are usually nice and
peaceful and make a more agreeable end to the day. And then it's time for bed. One of the
best ways of ensuring you can sleep at night is to ban electronic devices altogether from the
bedroom. Lying next to a machine bursting with information is far from relaxing, and the
sounds it emits during the night can easily wake you up. With technology out of the room, a
line has been drawn between daytime and sleep time, which enables us to switch off
ourselves and drift off to sleep.

of people’s favorite drinks.
The next thing to do is the shopping. Make sure you buy more than enough of everything,
and that someone can help you carry it!

The robot revolution isn't a thing of the future - robots are taking over right now and the
world of work is never to be the same again.
When having trouble swimming in the sea, you will be glad that Emily is there to rescue you.
Emily, not a lifeguard, is a remote-controlled robot that races through the water ten times
faster than any human swimmer. Despite not dragging you back to shore, she will keep you
afloat until a lifeboat picks you up. Elsewhere, the US Navy is working on Octavia, a robot
firefighter that never gives up. It battles through the smoke and flames to extinguish fires that
would be very dangerous for human firefighters.
Even the best surgeon's hand sometimes shakes while operating on a patient. Soon though,
patients will wake up after surgery knowing that the steadiest of robotic arms will have been
operating on them. Meanwhile, in another part of the hospital, a robot nurse, the RP7, will be
taking a patient's pulse and temperature then emailing their medical history to a specialist in
another country. In the corridor, a fleet of robots will be hard at work day and night collecting
dirty sheets, delivering clean ones and distributing food. These robots won't replace humans,
but they will allow the human staff to make progress in saving people's lives.
A robot waiter shows you to your table, takes your order and heads for the kitchen where the
chef, another robot, cooks your steak. After a delicious main course, another robot provides
entertainment until the dessert comes. It may sound like a sci-fi film, but actually this is the
Haohai Robot Restaurant in China where all 18 members of staff are robots. The customers
don't need to give them a tip and they only work a five-hour shift before taking a two-hour
break to recharge their batteries.

American jazz is a mixture of sounds borrowed from such varied sources as American and
African folk music, European classical music, and Christian gospel songs. One of the
recognizable characteristics of jazz is its use of improvisation: certain parts of the music are
written out and played the same way by various performers, and other improvised parts are
created spontaneously during a performance and vary widely from performer to performer.
The earliest form of jazz was ragtime, lively songs or rags performed on the piano, and the
best- known of the ragtime performers and composers was Scott Joplin. Born in 1868 to
former slaves, Scott Joplin earned his living from a very early age playing the piano in bars

In the first half of the nineteenth century, the U.S. government decided that it needed to set up
a system for protecting its coastline. It then began building a series of forts along the coast of
the eastern part of the country to facilitate its defenses.
The largest of these forts was Fort Jefferson, which was begun in 1846. This fort was built on
Garden Key, one of a cluster of small coral islands 70 miles west of Key West. At the time of
its construction Fort Jefferson was believed to be of primary strategic importance to the
United States because of its location at the entryway to became known as the the Gulf of
Mexico. Because of its location at the entrance to a great body of water, Gibraltar of the Gulf,
in reference to the island located at the mouth of the Mediterranean. The fort itself was a
massive structure. It was hexagonal in shape, with 8- foot-thick walls, and was surrounded by
a medieval-style moat for added security. Covering most of the Garden Key, it was
approximately half a mile in circumference.
In the latter half of the nineteenth century, during the Civil War and its aftermath, the fort
was used as a prison rather than a military installation. The most notorious of its prisoners
was Dr. Samuel Mudd, a physician who was the most probably innocently involved in the
assassination of Abraham Lincoln. The actual assassin, John Wilkes Booth, broke his leg as
he left from the stage of the Ford Theater during the assassination. Dr. Mudd set Booth's
broken leg, unaware of Booth's involvement in the assassination. As a result of this action,
Dr. Mudd was sentenced to life in prison and remanded to Fort Jefferson. He was pardoned
after only four years because of his courageous efforts in combating an epidemic of yellow
fever that ravaged the fort.
Continuous use of Fort Jefferson ended in the 1870s, although the U.S. Navy continued with
sporadic use of it into the twentieth century. Today, the massive ruins still remain on the tiny
island that stands guard over the entrance to the gulf, undisturbed except for the occasional
sightseer who ventures out from the coast to visit.

THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE MUSIC
Think for a moment about the last music album you bought. Most likely, you'll think of the
singer or band that made you want to buy the album. You might even know the name of the
guitar player or the drummer. Those talented performers, however, are only some of the
people in the music industry work behind the scenes, but the roles they play in the musical
progress are very important.
Songwriters: Songs begin with the songwriter. Some songwriters work alone, but many work
in teams that combine the talents of a lyricist, who writes the words to songs, and an
instrumentalist, often a piano player or guitarist, who writes the music. Many of today's pop
stars work with songwriters. For example, some of Lady Gaga's biggest hits were written by
Nadir Khayat, also known "redone". Some songwriting teams have become very famous,
such as Mike Stock, Matt Aitken, and Pete Waterman, who were responsible for many big
1980s pop hits.
Arrangers: After a song has been written, music arrangers-make it more appealing by
deciding which instruments will be used, what tempo, or speed, the song will have, and
whether the song should have a lower or higher pitch. A good arrangement can bring a song
to life and make it a classic.
Studio Musicians: Not every singer or instrumentalist can be a star, and many work in the
background as studio musicians. These artists are not a part of any one musical group.
Instead, they are hired for recording sessions that eventually become the albums you buy, as
well as soundtracks for television shows, movies, and radio ads.
Recording Engineers: Recording engineers also play a major role in creating the final sound
that you hear. First, these engineers set up the recording studio, the room where the
performers play, placing musicians and microphones in exactly the right places to get the best
sound. Next, they use electronic equipment, such multi-track recorders, to capture the music.
Finally long after the musicians have gone home, recording engineers use a mixing board to
balance the melodies and rhythms of each musician, and sometimes to incorporate special
sound effects or additional tracks.
Many people make a living with music. You may not recognize all of their names, but all of
them work together to create the songs you love to listen to.
Question 1. Which of the following do music arrangers probably NOT do?

A. Decide which pitch to use
B. Decide how fast or slow a song will be

Many people dream of going on a great travel adventure. Most of us keep dreaming; others
make it happen...
Gregg Bleakney's dream was to travel the Americas from top to bottom. He got the idea after
he finished a 1,600 kilometer (1,000 mile) bike ride. Gregg's friend, Brooks Allen, was also a
cyclist. The two friends talked and slowly formed a plan they would travel from Alaska to
Argentina by bike. To pay for the trip, Gregg and Brooks worked and saved their money for
years. Once they were on the road, they often camped outdoors or stayed in hostels. In many
places, local people opened their homes to the two friends and gave them food.
During their trip, Gregg and Brooks cycled through deserts, rainforests, and mountains. They
visited modern cities and ancient-ruins such as Machu Picchu in Peru. And everywhere they
went, they met other cyclists from all over the world. In May 2007-two years, twelve
countries, and over 30,500 km (19,000 mites) later-Gregg eventually reached Ushuaia,
Argentina, the southernmost city in the world. (Near Guatemala, Brooks had to return to the
U.S., and Gregg continued without him.)
The trip taught both men a lot about traveling, especially if you travel abroad. What did they
learn? Here is some of Gregg's advice:
Travel light. The less baggage you have, the less you'll worry about.
Be flexible. Don't plan everything. Then you'll be more relaxed and happy, especially if there
are problems.
Be polite. As one traveller told Gregg, "Always remember that nobody wants to fight, cheat,
or rob a nice guy."

Culture is the lens with which we evaluate everything around us; we evaluate what is proper
or improper, normal or abnormal, through our culture. If we are immersed in a culture that is
unlike our own, we may experience culture shock and become disoriented when we come
into contact with a fundamentally different culture. People naturally use their own culture as
the standard to judge other cultures; however, passing judgment could reach a level where
people begin to discriminate against others whose “ways of being” are different than their
own—essentially, we tend to fear that which we do not understand.
Cultural diversity is important because our country, workplaces, and schools increasingly
consist of various cultural, racial, and ethnic groups. We can learn from one another, but first
we must have a level of understanding about each other in order to facilitate collaboration
and cooperation. Learning about other cultures helps us understand different perspectives
within the world in which we live and helps dispel negative stereotypes and personal biases
about different groups.
In addition, cultural diversity helps us recognize and respect “ways of being” that are not
necessarily our own, so that as we interact with others, we can build bridges to trust, respect,
and understanding across cultures. Furthermore, this diversity makes our country a more
interesting place to live, as people from diverse cultures contribute language skills, new ways
of thinking, new knowledge, and different experiences.

Environmentalists often fear that tourists will trample all over sensitive natural resource
areas, but tourism may bring the needed and only economic incentives to help drive
conservation, said Bynum Boley. Ecotourism and natural resource conservation already have
a mutually beneficial relationship that is ideal for creating a sustainable partnership.
"Ecotourism destinations benefit in the form of enhanced tourism competitiveness from the
protection of quality natural resources," he said. "Meanwhile, the conservation of these
natural resources is increasingly valued since these pristine natural resources are the
foundation of the ecotourism industry and the driver of all economic benefits associated with
ecotourism."
Tourism is a $7.6 trillion global industry, provides 277 million jobs and is a primary income
source for 20 of the world's 48 least-developed countries. It also subsidizes environmental
protection and helps protect, conserve and value cultural resources that might otherwise be
undervalued by the host community, Boley said. In the newspaper, Boley and co-author Gary
Green said that despite past tension between the tourism industry and environmentalists, the
two should team up as allies to fight off increasing conversion of land away from its natural
state, Ecotourists not only provide a boost to the economy in such places, they can also
motivate landowners into keeping the environment in its natural state instead of converting it
into something unsustainable. They could also influence the public perception of
conservation, Boley explained, which does not often favor environmental protection.
“The public has become increasing less prone to respond to environmental messages,” he
said. “Economic messages are needed in order to attract the public's interest.” Too often,
Boley and Green said, unique natural resource areas are converted into urban, suburban and
agricultural developments without considering their ecotourism potential. In addition to the
lost ecotourism revenue, there are a host of negative environmental consequences such as
biodiversity loss, water and food shortages and the land being unable to mitigate the effects
of climate change. These areas are not valued for their unique attributes or the valuable
natural resources they provide, Green said, “so we lose them.” Tourists have historically been
seen as having a negative impact on the environment. Critics complain that they violate
fragile and threatened natural environments while contributing to greenhouse gases from the
increased number of flights to these exotic and often remote locales. While these criticisms
are justified, Boley and Green said responsible programs promote education of ecological
conservation and environmental sustainability, fostering a greater understanding and
appreciation of these exotic areas.

systems can power your air conditioner or a satellite like the International Space Station PV
systems are also used to run a calculator, recharge cell phone, or even power lightweight cars.
Sunlight is also changed into electricity by concentrating solar power or CSP systems. CSP
systems have mirrors that focus the sunlight. The concentrated sunlight turns water into steam
which turns a turbine that is connected to an electric generator. A CSP system usually uses

Joyce Carol Oates published her first collection of short stories, By The North Gate, in 1963,
two years after she had received her master's degree from the University of Wisconsin and
become an instructor of English at the University of Detroit. Her productivity since then has
been prodigious, accumulating in less than two decades to nearly thirty titles, including
novels, collections of short stories and verse, play and literary criticism. In the meantime, she
has continued to teach, moving in 1967 from the University of Detroit to the University of
Windsor, in Ontario, and, in 1978, to Princeton University Reviewers have admired her
enormous energy, but find a productivity of such magnitude difficult to assess.
In a period characterized by the abandonment of so much of the realistic tradition by authors
such as John Barth, Donald Barthelme, and Thomas Pynchon, Joyce Carol Oates has seemed
at times determinedly old-fashioned in her insistence on the essentially mimetic quality other
fiction. Hers is a world of violence, insanity, fractured love, and hopeless loneliness.
Although some of it appears to come from her own direct observations, her dreams, and her
fears, much more is clearly from the experiences of others. Her first novel With Shuddering
Fall (1964), dealt with stock car racing, though she had never seen a race. In Them (1969) she
focused on Detroit from the Depression through the riots of 1967, drawing much of her
material from the deep impression made on her by the problems of one of her students.
Whatever the source and however shocking the events or the motivations, however, her
fictive world remains strikingly akin to that real one reflected in the daily newspapers, the
television news and talk shows, and popular magazines of our day.

Universities love overseas students – they are clever and hardworking, they bring different
cultures to seminars and student life and they pay their way. In Britain, universities are
getting ready to enroll more overseas students. The British Council has published a report
predicting that overseas student numbers could soar to more than 800,000 by 2018. In 2010,
figures put the total at over 400,000 international students out of two and a half million
students in UK higher education and it is clear that this influx is having an enormous impact
on universities and colleges.
These students bring welcome fees, of course, but they are also likely to be very intelligent
students who inject new cultural influences and bring changes to the old university systems.
Their demand for vocational subjects such as business, biotechnology and information
technology, rather than traditional academic subjects, is affecting what is taught as well.
The impressive expansion of foreign students has already had a significant impact on higher
education. Overseas student numbers, including European Union students, have risen from
270,000 in 2002 to 400,000 in 2010. During this time the number from China jumped more
than tenfold, and numbers from India have been going up. In contrast, the number of students
from other countries has fallen, reflecting their governments’ efforts to educate more of their
young people at home, as well as competition from Australia and the USA. But as the Asian
tiger economies expand their own universities, the good news for places like the London
School of Economics is that there are more and more graduates looking to improve their
qualifications or to pursue research in their subjects.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet
indicating the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.
A majority of people think that their dream job is too hard and competitive to achieve, and
believe that it is all a matter of luck. All this is true actually, but why should that stop anyone
from trying to get the job they really want? A really determined person will always succeed
and, in many ways, needs other people to give up trying so that he or she can succeed.
Many job seekers feel limited by the choices they made at college or university. They may
think that because they studied marketing, all they can ever do is work in marketing. All the
evidence shows that, in fact, employers are less interested in acquired knowledge than the
ability to think and learn. It is also very difficult to predict the needs of society. The needs of
employers and the economy can change very quickly, and often unexpectedly.
Of course, if it is a very tough time economically, it is hard to find employment straight after
university, but it is by no means impossible. It might take several months longer to find a job
after graduating, but there is work out there. Never think about the other people going for the
same jobs. It may be human nature to compare your progress to your peers, but perhaps the
best advice would be to try not to. Be focused on what you want and how you are going to
get it. After all, it may appear that a friend who has a really well-paid job is doing well, but
how do you know what their job is actually like? They may be working 12-hour days, have
an unreasonable boss, or be stressed out trying to meet unrealistic targets.
Have a plan in place, even if it is a sketchy one. Have both short-term and long-term aims.
Always think that with hard work, dedication, a willingness to put yourself out, and a bit of
luck, you could get your dream job. A really key piece of advice is never to get downhearted
by rejection because there will probably be a lot. You can achieve your dream job, whatever
it is. You must never give up. Prepared to work hard and for long hours without necessarily
climbing up the career ladder. There is a lot to be said for learning your 'trade' from the
bottom up. At the start, there will probably be little money, but it will be worth it in the end.
The best jobs are not supposed to be easy- that is what makes them challenging. And if you
like a challenge, just keep your head down and go for it.

We are a planet of seven billion people, and this number is growing by about 370,000 people
every day. This is putting a huge strain on the planet's natural resources. For many
governments and environmental organizations, the race is on to drastically reduce our
consumption of resources before they run out.
Water is one of our most precious resources. Our quality of life, as well as life itself, depends
on the availability of clean, fresh water. It is the most widely used resource in industry, and
plays a major role in energy production. Although 70 percent of the world is covered in
water, only 2.5 percent of that is fresh water, and less than one percent of that freshwater is
readily available to us. Yet we often overestimate how much water we have, and reduce it
further through pollution or inefficient use. Some 92 percent of all fresh water used annually
is dedicated to growing plants and raising animals for food. This means that if water runs out,
our food supply might follow. In India, it is estimated that future water shortages could
reduce grain harvests by 25%. In a country where the population exceeds 1.2 billion people
and is growing rapidly every year, this is a huge concern. India, like many developing
countries, is already struggling to provide for its population. While most people in developed
countries can get water at the turn of a tap, nearly four billion people elsewhere lack access to
safe water, according to United Nations Development Report.
Rain forests are another endangered-resource. While rain forests are critically important to
humanity, they are rapidly being destroyed by human activities. The biggest cause of
deforestation is conversion of forest land for agriculture. Often called the "Lungs of the
Planet”, rain forests once covered 14 percent of the Earth's land surface, but this has shrunk
to only six percent. Every second, an area of rainforest, the size of a football field, is
destroyed at this rate. Rain forests will possibly disappear completely in less than 40 years.

One way of training for your future occupation in Germany is by pursuing a dual vocational
training programme. Such programmes offer plenty of opportunities for on-the-job training
and work experience. Programmes usually last between two and three and a half years and
comprise theoretical as well as practical elements. You will spend one or two days a week, or
several weeks at once, at a vocational school where you will acquire the theoretical
knowledge that you will need in your future occupation. The rest of the time will be spent at a
company. There you get to apply your newly acquired knowledge in practice, for example by
learning to operate machinery. You will get to know what your company does, learn how it
operates and find out if you can see yourself working there after completing your training.
This combination of theory and practice gives you a real head start into your job: by the time
you have completed your training, you will not only have the required technical knowledge,
but you will also have hands-on experience in your job. There are around 350 officially
recognized training programmes in Germany, so chances are good that one of them will suit
your interests and talents. You can find out which one that might be by visiting one of the
jobs vocational training fairs which are organised in many German cities at different times in
the year.
Employment prospects for students who have completed a dual vocational training
programme are very good. This is one of the reasons why this kind of training is very popular
with young Germans: around two thirds of all students leaving school go on to start a
vocational training programme.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to
each of the questions.
Most parents want their sons and daughters to have equal chances of success when they grow
up. Today, equality of the sexes is largely mandated by public policy and law. However, old-
fashioned ideas and a lot of prejudice are still part of our culture and present challenging
questions for parents.
Gender stereotypes are rigid ideas about how boys and girls should behave. We all know
what these stereotypes are: A "feminine" girl should be insecure, accommodating and a little
illogical in her thinking. A "masculine" boy should be strong, unemotional, aggressive, and
competitive. How are children exposed to these stereotypes? According to the researchers
David and Myra Sadker of the American University of Washington, D.C., boys and girls are
often treated differently in the classroom. They found out that when boys speak, teachers
usually offer constructive comments, when girls speech, teachers tend to focus on the
behavior. It's more important how the girls act rather than what they say.
The emphasis on differences begins at birth and continues throughout childhood. For
example, few people would give pink baby's clothes to a boy or a blue blanket to a girl. Later,
many of us give girls dolls and miniature kitchenware, while boys receive action figures and
construction sets. There's nothing wrong with that . The problem arises when certain
activities are deemed appropriate for one sex but not the other. According to Heather J.
Nicholson, Ph.D., director of the National Resource Center for Girls, Inc., this kind of
practice prevents boys and girls from acquiring important skills for their future lives.
"The fact is," says Nicholson, "that society functions as a kind of sorting machine regarding
gender. In a recent survey, fifty-eight percent of eighth-grade girls but only six percent of
boys earned money caring for younger children. On the other hand, twenty-seven percent of
boys but only three percent of girls earned money doing lawn work". If we are serious about
educating a generation to be good workers and parents, we need to eliminate such stereotypes
as those mentioned previously.
Gender stereotypes inevitably are passed to our children. However, by becoming aware of the
messages our children receive, we can help them develop ways to overcome these incorrect
ideas. To counteract these ideas, parents can look for ways to challenge and support their
children, and to encourage confidence in ways that go beyond what society's fixed ideas
about differences of sext are.

If you are moving to a new country, you may be worried about adjusting to your new
community and losing your family traditions. However, it's crucial to understand that
embracing a new culture doesn't require abandoning one's traditions. Balancing both cultures
will be essential to maintaining your identity while embracing a new culture. Living in a new
country can feel strange and confusing, so what do you do to keep your roots and preserve
your heritage?
Keep Constant Communication with Family & Friends
It is vital to keep in touch with friends and family members to stay connected to your old
home and heritage. Whether it’s to call your mom for your favourite family recipe or your
friends to recall memories, keeping in touch with your friends and family can help you
preserve your culture.
Join Local Clubs & Associations Tied to Your Culture
Another great way to preserve your heritage in a new country is by joining associations or
clubs that connect with your lifestyle and community. These gatherings provide a space to
practice and celebrate cultural customs while fostering connections with others who have
experienced similar transitions.
Maintain Cultural Tradition by Sharing It with Others
A perfect way to preserve your traditions is to continue practicing them in your new home,
whether they are daily habits, celebrations, or food. There is nothing better than sharing the
traditions you love with friends or colleagues in your new home. You can do this by bringing
homemade treats to your office or hosting traditional events with new friends.

Cyberbullying is a very serious issue affecting not just the young victims, but also the
victims' families, the bully, and those who witness instances of cyberbullying. It may be hard
to figure out how some words of text on a computer screen can lead to such trauma.
People might think that face-to-face bullying is much worse than cyberbullying since the
victims of real-world bullying have more difficulties escaping their tormentors, while a
victim of cyberbullying can simply turn off the computer or block a bully on a social media
platform. Unfortunately, it's not that simple. Face-to-face bullying can range from simple
name-calling to more significant acts of bullying, such as rumor-spreading, harassment,
threats, and incidents of physical harm between the victim and a bully (or group of bullies).
While victims of real-world bullying can be granted a reprieve when they go home, there’s
simply no escape from cyberbullying. It doesn’t end when the school bell rings. It can
continue at any time, throughout all hours of the night, and come in the form of text
messages, social media posts, chatroom messages, images and videos that have been altered,
and many other digital forms.
Cyberbullying leaves little opportunity for victims to defend themselves. There are no
teachers or parents to see what is happening and intervene to put a stop to it. Cyberbullying
can also be anonymous, leaving the victim little recourse to even report the bully to an
authority figure. If the victim knows who the bully is and chooses to block them on social
media, they can simply create a new account, text, message, or use a friend's account. Kids
today are extremely resourceful and savvy with technology. If they are intent on
cyberbullying, there's not much a victim can do to stop them.
In essence, cyberbullying is more relentless, crueler, and more damaging than real-world
bullying. It is also one of the most significant stressors in a young individual’s life.

POWER POSING FOR CONFIDENCE
Some people are born confident and others aren't, right? Perhaps not. Psychologist Amy
Cuddy thinks that we can become more confident simply by changing our body language.
Studies have shown that our body language - how we sit, stand and move around - has an
important effect on how other people view us. For example, if you cross your arms and look
away, people will probably think you're not interested in what's going on. According to
Cuddy, your pose can also affect how confident you feel. If you avoid eye contact and hunch
your back, you'll feel less confident.
So, how can you increase your self-confidence? One way is by doing what Cuddy calls 'the
power pose'. Stand up straight, legs apart, with your hands on your hips, and hold this pose
for two minutes whenever you need a confidence boost. Afterwards, you should feel much
more confident. Power posing is especially useful before job interviews, and it also proves
beneficial for public speaking.
Changing our body language isn't very hard to do and there are many benefits that come with
it. Improving your body language can help improve your self-confidence and give other
people a good impression of you.

It is said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Maybe that's why many people
may be open to trying foreign food at lunch or dinner, but they're not adventurous enough to
experiment with anything new at breakfast. But what about you? Below, we look at typical
breakfasts in some different countries. Would you have them or are they too spicy, too
fattening or just too different?
The traditional breakfast in South Korea is rice and soup. People then choose extra dishes to
go with it such as grilled fish, vegetables and kimchi, which is pickled cabbage with chilies.
Kimchi is so popular that the first Korean astronaut took some with him to the international
space station! Of course, these days, many Koreans have such busy lifestyles they don't have
enough time to make breakfast and just grab a quick coffee and some cereal or toast.
Breakfast in Bulgaria includes tea or strong coffee, sesame bread and butter, cheese made
from sheep's milk, honey, olives, boiled eggs and- most importantly - kiselo mlyako, a local
yoghurt. Bulgaria has a lot of people aged over 100 and many believe that the secret behind
this is their yoghurt, which most Bulgarians eat every day.
Many Costa Ricans start their day with the national dish, gallo pinto, which is a mixture of
fried rice and black beans. It's lightly spiced and often served with fried plantain (a kind of
banana used like a vegetable in a lot of Central American and Caribbean cooking), cream and
fried eggs. There's usually some strong local coffee as well-or perhaps some agua dulce
('sweet water"), which is made from sugar cane juice.

The green building movement, started in the 1970s as a way to reduce environmental
destruction, is changing the way buildings are constructed. In the early years, green builders
were a small minority, and their goals of reducing the environmental impact of buildings
were considered unrealistic. Now, however, the movement is growing, as builders have been
able to take advantage of new technology.
Green builders try to make use of recycled materials, which means less waste in dumps. Also,
they reduce environmental impact by reducing the energy requirements of a building. One
way is to provide an alternative, non-polluting source of energy. First, with solar panels, it is
possible to produce electricity from the rays of the sun. Once installed, they provide energy at
no they cost and with no pollution.
Another solution is to reduce the amount of energy required in a building. It is possible to cut
electricity use noticeably by improving natural lighting and installing low-energy light bulbs.
To reduce the amount of fuel needed for heating or cooling, builders also add insulation to
the walls so that the building stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
One example of this advanced design is the Genzyme Center of Cambridge, the most
environmentally responsible office building in America. Every aspect of the design and
building had to consider two things: the need for a safe and pleasant workplace for employees
and the need to lessen the negative environmental impact. 75 percent of the building
materials were recycled materials, and the energy use has been reduced by 43 percent and
water use by 32 percent, compared with other buildings of the same size.
In other parts of the world, several large-scale projects have recently been developed
according to green building principles. One of these is in Vauban, Germany, in an area that
was once the site of army housing. The site has been completely rebuilt with houses requiring
30 percent less energy than conventional ones. These houses, heated by special non-polluting
systems, are also equipped with solar panels.A larger project is under way in China. The first
phase of this project will include houses for 400 families built with solar power, non-
polluting bricks, and recycled wall insulation. In a second phase, entire neighborhoods in six
cities will be built. If all goes well, the Chinese government plans to copy these ideas in new
neighborhoods across China.
Green building ideas, on a small or large scale, are spreading. Individuals, companies, and
governments are beginning to see their benefits. Not only are they environmentally friendly,
green buildings improve living and working conditions and also save money in the long run.

According to some sources, the first online dating service appeared in the mid-nineties.
Different from international matching services that were already up and running, these sites
were created to help the average busy person find someone to date and, perhaps eventually,
someone to many. For this week’s column, I asked a few people what they thought of online
dating.
Many who have tried online dating it’s the greatest invention since sliced bread. Although he
was hesitant to try it at first, Mitchell Waverton, a 25-year-old who’s looking for love, gives
online dating thumbs-up. Waverton explains, “I don’t have a lot of time to meet women.
Some of my friends told me I should try online dating. I wasn't sure about it because it just
seems weird- meeting someone online. But then I tried it, and it was a lot of fun”. However,
not everyone has the same opinion. Peter Wong explains, “A few of my friends tried to get
me join an online dating site. I only agree to do it to prove to them that it wasn’t going to
work for me”. After I went on five miserable dates, my friends were finally convinced that
online dating wasn't for me.”
I do believe that online daters are sometimes successful in their search of love, but I think
success stories are the exception rather than the rule. Although online dating seems like it’s
here to stay, i’ve heard enough horror stories to keep me away from it.

WHAT IS SPEED READING, AND WHY DO WE NEED IT?
Speed reading is not just about reading first. It is also about how much information you can
remember when you have finished reading. The World Championship Speed-Reading
Competition says that its top competitors average between 1.000 and 2,000 words a minute.
But they must remember at least 50 percent of this in order to qualify for the competition.
Nowadays, speed reading has become an essential skill in any environment ___(26)___
people have to master a large volume of information.
Professional workers need reading skills to help them ___(27)___ many documents every
day, while students under pressure to deal with assignment may feel they have to read more
and read faster all the time.
___(28)___ there are various methods to increase reading speed, the trick is deciding what
information you want first. For example, if you only want a ___(29)___ outline of an issue,
then you can skim the material quickly and extract the key facts. However, if you need to
understand every detail in a document, then you must read it slowly enough to understand
this. Even when you know how to ignore irrelevant detail, there are ___(30)___
improvements you can make to your reading style which will increase your speed.

Online social media have gained amazing worldwide growth and popularity. Although with
time a generation has come to accept the changes social networking including Twitter,
Facebook or Instagram has brought about, teenagers and young adults are the most frequent
users of these sites. It has been reported that these sites are affecting the lives of the youth
greatly. Social media sites have provided a platform whereby the youth can create groups and
pages based on their common discipline and end up building connections and opportunities
for their respective careers by updating various topics to discuss. Youth who have been
interviewed say that social media has become their lifestyle and it makes their lives easier
and efficient.
Social network sites seem to bring people together and connected, but may create social
isolation. As the youth tend to spend many hours on these sites, they rarely have face-to-face
interaction. According to various studies, scientists' evaluation determined that social
isolation can lead to a host of emotional, psychological, physical and mental problems which
include anxiety, depression and somatic complaints among many others. Other negative
effects of social networking various people suggested included encouraging poor spelling and
grammar, allowing spread of misinformation that is perceived as fact. Decreasing
productivity. The sites also provide a perfect platform for cyber bullying and increase risks of
identity theft, whose personal information are asked to add. Social networking clearly
portrays both positive and negative effects on the youth. It is decision of an individual to
make whether to continue using the sites or not.

Everyone knows that good sleep is vitally important for our health. Not everyone knows how
important it is to sleep in the dark. A new report says that sleeping with the light on could be
bad for our health.
Researchers say that turning off the light when we sleep helps to keep away diabetes and
heart diseases. Sleeping with the light on could increase the risk of getting these diseases. The
researchers said that around 40 percent of people sleep with some sort of artificial light. They
said even the light from a television or alarm clock could affect our health. They added that
the worst thing to sleep with is a main light. Sleeping in the dark is more difficult for people
who live in cities where there is a lot of outdoor light at night.
The researchers are from the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in
Chicago, USA. Dr Phyllis Zee, who is an expert in sleep medicine, is the lead researcher. She
said that it is healthier for us to turn off all lights when we sleep. Her team conducted a study
of the blood sugar levels of 20 people after nights of sleep. The people who slept with a light
on had higher blood sugar levels the next morning compared to those who slept in total
darkness. Dr. Zee said this is because light stimulates brain activity, which raises blood sugar
levels. She said there are three things we can do to reduce the risk of illness. The first thing is
we should turn off the lights. Moreover, we should never sleep with white or blue light.
Finally, it is a good idea to use a blackout curtain or wear an eye mask.

A. Sleep and Light
B. Light and the Risk of Illness
C. Sleep and the Risk of Illness
D. Sleep and Sleep Medicine
Question 47. According to the passage, why do people who live in cities find sleeping in the
dark difficult?

Most of us have a sweet tooth. We love to eat a cookie, a donut or a piece of chocolate. But
have you noticed what often happens when you eat one? When we eat or drink sugary foods,
the sugar enters our blood and affects part of our brain. We may feel better, but the good
feeling stops and we just want another one. All tasty foods do this, but sugar has a
particularly strong effect. This is why many scientists believe that our love of sugar might be
an addiction. In the body, sugar acts like an addictive drug, one that doctors recommend we
all cut down.
It seems obvious now that too much sugar can harm us, but why is it harmful? In early human
history, the body began storing sugar as fat to use as energy. Our bodies are efficient, so they
need very little sugar. Today, the Western diet has the highest amount of sugar in history.
There are also more high blood pressure and diabetes in the world. Some researchers believe
that too much sugar may be the culprit.
How do we battle our sweet tooth? Doctors advise us to cut down on sweets. They
recommend that we choose healthy foods for snacks. Nuts, dark chocolate and yogurts are
some of them. Yet even healthy foods can have too much sugar. Yogurts that are advertised
as low-fat can have 17 grams, about half the daily allowance. However, the less sugar you
eat, the less you want. Exercise helps, too. Using facilities such as walking tracks and
gymnasiums can help control our desire.

Photographic evidence suggests that liquid water once existed in great quantity on the surface
of Mars. Two types of flow features are seen: runoff channels and outflow channels. Runoff
channels are found in the southern highlands. These flow features are extensive systems of
interconnecting, twisting channels that seem to merge into larger, wider channels. They bear
a strong resemblance to river systems on Earth, and geologists think that they are dried-up
beds of long-gone rivers that once carried rainfall on Mars from the mountains down into the
valleys. Runoff channels on Mars speak of a time 4 billion years ago, when the atmosphere
was thicker, the surface warmer, and liquid water widespread.
Outflow channels are probably relics of catastrophic flooding on Mars long ago. They appear
only in equatorial regions and generally do not form extensive interconnected networks.
Instead, they are probably the paths taken by huge volumes of water draining from the
southern highlands into the northern plains. The onrushing water arising from these flash
floods likely also formed the odd teardrop-shaped "islands" that have been found on the
plains close to the ends of the outflow channels. Judging from the width and depth of the
channels, the flow rates must have been truly enormous – perhaps as much as a hundred
times greater than the 105 tons per second carried by the great Amazon River. Flooding
shaped the outflow channels approximately 3 billion years ago, about the same time as the
northern volcanic plains formed.
Some scientists speculate that Mars may have enjoyed an extended early period during which
rivers, lakes, and perhaps even oceans adorned its surface. A 2003 Mars Global Surveyor
image shows what mission specialists think may be a delta – a fan-shaped network of
channels and sediments where a river once flowed into a larger body of water, in this case a
lake filling a crater in the southern highlands. Other researchers go even further, suggesting
that the data provide evidence for large open expanses of water on the early Martian surface.
A computer-generated view of the Martian north polar region shows the extent of what may
have been an ancient ocean covering much of the northern lowlands. The Hellas Basin, which
measures some 3,000 kilometers across and has a floor that lies nearly 9 kilometers below the
basin's rim, is another candidate for an ancient Martian sea.

Marcel Bich, a French manufacturer of traditional ink pens, was the man turning the ballpoint
pen into an item that today almost anyone can afford. Bich was shocked at the poor quality of
the ballpoint pens that were available, and also at their high cost. However, he recognised that
the ballpoint was a firmly established invention, and he decided to design a cheap pen that
worked well and would be commercially successful.
Bich went to the Biro brothers and asked them if he could use the design of their original
invention in one of his own pens. In return, he offered to pay them every time he sold a pen.
Then, for two years, Bich studied the detailed construction of every ballpoint pen that was
being sold, often working with a microscope.
By 1950, he was ready to introduce his new wonder: a plastic pen with a clear barrel that
wrote smoothly, did not leak and only cost a few cents. He called it the 'Bic Cristal'. The
ballpoint pen had finally become a practical writing instrument. The public liked it
immediately, and today it is as common as the pencil. In Britain, they are still called Biros,
and many Bic models also say 'Biro' on the side of the pen, to remind people of their original
inventors.
Bich became extremely wealthy thanks to his invention, which had worldwide appeal. Over
the next 60 years his company, Société Bic, opened factories all over the world and expanded
its range of inexpensive products. Today, Bic is as famous for its lighters and razors as it is
for its pens, and you can even buy a Bic mobile phone.

If you’ve done any traveling at all, you’re likely quite aware that customs and etiquette differ
from one culture to another: what may be perfectly innocuous in one place may be hideously
offensive in another, and vice-versa. Granted, even if you haven’t traveled at all, you’re
probably aware of the fact that certain types of behavior aren’t exactly acceptable in other
countries: belching at the table may be a sign of gratitude in some places, but in most areas of
North America and Europe, such a display will earn you a fair bit of ire. Whether you plan on
traveling to any of the places listed below or just doing business with a foreign client, it’s
important to educate yourself on the standards of politesse and etiquette beforehand-the last
thing you want to do is offend someone with any ignorant, boorish behavior. Here’s how to
be polite in different countries.
When dealing with Japanese clients, be sure to dress fairly conservatively, and make sure that
you bow lower than they do upon meeting them. Accept gifts with both hands and open them
later, not in front of the giver, and never blow your nose at the dining table. Avoid asking and
answering direct questions: it’s better to imply rather than ask, and to answer with vagueness
during conversations.
In Kenya, when greeting someone older or of a higher status than yourself, grip their right
wrist with your left hand while shaking it; it’s a sign of respect and deference. Do ask
questions about their health, family, business etc. Before getting to major topics, as skipping
these niceties is seen as impolite. If sharing meals, do not begin eating until the eldest male
has been served and starts to eat.
Turning down an alcoholic drink is considered terribly offensive in Russia, so it’s a good idea
to fortify yourself with some greasy food before heading out for a meal with Russian or
Ukrainian clients. Don’t smile at strangers or they’ll think you’re deranged, and when paying
for items, place your money on the counter rather than trying to hand it directly to the cashier.

When lifestyle changes aren’t enough, the next step may be to take medicine. Your health
care provider can tell you about special drugs for overactive bladder (OAB).
There are several drug types that can relax the bladder muscle. These drugs, like anti-
muscarinics and beta-3 agonists, can help stop your bladder from squeezing when it’s not
full. Some are taken as pills, by mouth. Others are gels or a sticky transdermal patch to give
you the drug through your skin.
Anti-muscarinics and betta-3 adrenoceptor agonists can relax the bladder muscle and increase
the amount of urine your bladder can hold and empty. Combination drugs, like using both
anti-muscarinics and - betta-3 adrenoceptor agonists together may help control OAB when
one option alone isn’t working.
Your health care providers will want to know if the medicine works for you. They will check
to see if you get relief or if the drug causes problems, known as side effects. Some people get
dry mouth and dry eyes, constipation, or blurred vision. If one drug you try doesn’t work,
your health care provider may ask you to take different amounts, give you a different one to
try, or have you try two types together. Lifestyle changes and medicine at the same time help
many people.

Like many emergency responders, Nicholas Groom is used to stress at work. On one hand,
the stress can be helpful. “I find that when attending a serious incident, it helps me to
maintain focus on the situation,” Nicholas Groom said. On the other hand, the work can be
highly pressurised. “Too much stress can impair your ability to make decisions,” he adds.
And Groom is not alone in his complicated relationship with stress.
Many people believe that that there should be a balanced amount of stress. In other words,
not too much stress so you’re not overwhelmed but not too little stress so you don’t feel
unmotivated. After all, some anxiety is motivating; think of the adrenaline before a deadline
or the excitement before a competition. Sports fans sometimes even talk about a “gene” in
some athletes who seem to play best in the decisive final moments of a match. Furthermore,
many psychologists claim that performance in many situations increases with stress up to a
point. Of course, any stress can cause harm when it’s prolonged. To take just one example, a
long-term high heart rate is linked to cardiovascular diseases. And additional stressors, such
as financial pressures or psychiatric issues, clearly affect how beneficially someone can
respond to stress.
So is there a way to harness stress to your advantage while being mindful of its detrimental
long-term effects? One key factor is to avoid, whenever possible, the point when stress leads
to mental and physical collapse. Crystal Wernicke, 30, has always used stress as a motivator.
But juggling between parenting, a full-time job, a voluntary role and financial troubles at the
same time became too much and eventually led to a two-month period of illness. Another
factor is the presence of control. For those who feel powerless over their situation, stress is
unlikely to be beneficial. But with some autonomy over stressful tasks, we are better able to
convert that pressure into higher performance.
When it comes to stress and how it affects your performance, it’s helpful to recognise the
variations in personality, type of stress and task that affect the level of pressure you are under,
as well as understanding tools you can use to control and harness that stress. Ultimately, it’s
not helpful to take a one-sided view, either demonising or glorifying stress. As James C
Quick, a management professor at the University of Texas, sums up: “Stress can be the kiss
of death as well as the spice of life.”

The typical way of talking to a baby – high-pitched, exaggerated and repetitious – is a source
of fascination for linguists who hope to understand how ‘baby talk’ impacts on learning.
Most babies start developing their hearing while still in the womb, prompting some hopeful
parents to play classical music to their pregnant bellies. Some research even suggests that
infants are listening to adult speech as early as 10 weeks before being born, gathering the
basic building blocks of their family’s native tongue.
Early language exposure seems to have benefits to the brain – for instance, studies suggest
that babies raised in bilingual homes are better at learning how to mentally prioritize
information. So how does the sweet if sometimes absurd sound of infant-directed speech
influence a baby’s development? Here are some recent studies that explore the science behind
baby talk.
Scientists from the University of Washington and the University of Connecticut collected
thousands of 30-second conversations between parents and their babies, fitting 26 children
with audio-recording vests that captured language and sound during a typical eight-hour day.
The study found that the more baby talk parents used, the more their youngsters began to
babble. And when researchers saw the same babies at age two, they found that frequent baby
talk had dramatically boosted vocabulary, regardless of socioeconomic status. “Those
children who listened to a lot of baby talk were talking more than the babies that listened to
more adult talk or standard speech,” says Nairán Ramirez-Esparza of the University of
Connecticut. “We also found that it really matters whether you use baby talk in a one-on-one
context,” she adds. ‘The more parents use baby talk one-on-one, the more babies babble, and
the more they babble, the more words they produce later in life.’

The first newspapers appeared in the 17th century, but ordinary people didntt use to buy them
often because they were expensive. This changed in the 1850s with the invention of powerful
printing presses, which could print 10,000 papers per hour. As a result, newspaper prices
came down and more people could afford to buy them. Thanks to another new invention, the
photograph, it was also the first time that newspapers contained pictures as well as articles.
When a volcano erupted on the Pacific island of Krakatoa in 1883, it killed 36.000 people. It
was one of the worst natural disasters in history. It was also significant because it was the
first time that news could travel around the world in minutes, using undersea electrical
telegraph wires. Before the telegraph was invented, it used to take weeks far news to travel to
a different continent. News of Abraham Lincoln's death, for example, took nearly two weeks
to reach Europe in 1865.
In the early 20th century, before televisions became popular, people used to go to the cinema
to watch the news. Ten-minute films called “news reels” contained moving images of four or
five top news stories. The news reels were changed weekly, not daily, so the news wasn't
always up to date. Nowadays, they are important as historical documents, as they provide the
only audiovisual records of those times.
At the start of the 21st century, developments in smartphone technology and the growth at
social media like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram have completely changed the way that we
get our news. Now anybody can report news. This is sometimes called “citizen journalism.”
One of the first and most famous examples of it happened in New York in 2009 when a plane
carrying 150 passengers landed in the Hudson River after a flock of birds flew into the
plane's engine. People who saw the crash posted comments and photos on Twitter and the
news spread around the world in minutes. Professional journalists didn't arrive at the scene
until 15 minutes later

Most people know that a balanced diet and regular exercise are very important. However,
most people do not know how to exercise properly. Exercising the right way is important for
people who are worried about their health and their appearance. However, if someone is not
working out properly, it is rare that he or she will see the results he or she wants. If you want
to achieve the best workout results, here are a few helpful tips to bear in mind.
One of the most common workout mistakes is doing the same routine over and over again.
This does not challenge your muscles, and it can actually prevent muscles from growing and
repairing themselves. Instead of always sticking to the same old workout, it is important to
change your routine every six to eight weeks. It is also important to add a variety of workouts
to your routine, such as swimming, yoga, or biking, to make sure your whole body stays fit.
Another mistake people tend to make is to work out too hard, too often. Your body needs to
rest between workouts; otherwise, no progress will be made. It is best to keep the number of
hard workout routines to no more than two per week. Then, for those who don’t want to get
off schedule by skipping a day, shorter workouts of about twenty minutes can be used on
other days. For more variety In workouts, you could also plan an easier routine for forty to
sixty minutes between days of shorter, more intense workouts. Experts recommend, however,
taking at least one day off completely each week, especially after several hard workout days
in a row. If you want to make a difference in your overall health, there are some things you
can do. Stretch before and after every workout. Do not rush your routine, and do not work out
too little or too much.

To quote CREST founder Dr. Martha Honey, we earnestly believe that ecotourism is “simply
a better way to travel.” Here’s a look at how this transformational approach to travel benefits
conservation, increases cross-cultural understanding, and ultimately turns travelers into
environmental advocates:
To see how ecotourism benefits nature and wildlife, let’s look at endangered species such as
African Elephants. Ivory from Elephant tusks is worth $1500 a pound on the black market,
which has led to a dramatic increase in poaching. But Elephants are worth 76 times more
alive than dead. When you consider the revenue from wildlife photography tours, luxury
safari camps, and other ecotourism offerings, a single Elephant is worth $1.3 million over the
course of its lifetime! Ecotourism offers a long-term alternative to exploitation, generating
sustainable revenue and ensuring better overall health of the ecosystem.
Nature reserves and national parks help prevent deforestation and pollution, while also
protecting the habitat of endemic species. The revenue that ecotourism provides can help
replace profits from exploitative practices such as mining or slash burn agriculture. It can also
help ensure the long-term financial viability of the area. Naturalist guides also help travelers
understand the value of a pristine ecosystem, and teach them about the importance of
conservation. This ultimately help to create a more mindful and conscious legion of travelers.
When managed properly, ecotourism can offer locals alternative revenue streams. In wildlife-
rich countries such as Rwanda, former poachers are often employed as guides or trackers,
capitalizing on their knowledge of the animals and their habitat. In Costa Rica,
unemployment has fallen to less than 10% since the country started building its ecotourism
infrastructure in the 1970s. Involving local communities in tourism management empowers
them by ensuring that more revenue is reinvested locally. Ecotourism also offers indigenous
peoples an opportunity to remain on ancestral land, conserve it, and preserve traditional
culture.
Sure, being a responsible traveler takes a greater level of commitment to being conscious and
mindful of the impact we have on the destinations we visit. But ecotourism also offers us
incredible, transformative experiences, allowing us to develop closer personal relationships to
the nature, wildlife, and local people we encounter during our adventures. Learning about
ecotourism can permanently change your understanding of mankind’s role in our planetary
ecosystem. And once you’ve had that sort of travel experience, you’ll never want to travel the
traditional way again.

The world is getting smaller, at least when it comes to language. More and more people speak
the three most common languages: English, Spanish, and Mandarin. As a result, local
languages are being forgotten.
As cultures adjust to these changes, and languages aren't taught to children or spoken at
home, these local languages are slowly disappearing.
A language is said to be in trouble when less than 30 percent of children in the community
speak it. It is considered a dying language. If children no longer learn to use a language, it
will have fewer and fewer speakers over time and, eventually, the language will be gone.
Why keep languages alive? Languages hold the key to understanding a culture's beliefs and
values. According to Dr. Cumberland, who is working to save Assiniboine, a Native
American language, a dying language needs a dictionary and people to understand and record
its grammar. Most importantly, you need to listen to those who still speak the language. This
can be very difficult, especially if there are very few speakers of the language left. For
example, when researchers were working to save the language Ayapaneco in Mexico, it was
hard for them to record anything because the last two people on Earth who could speak the
language refused to speak to each other! Today, the United Nations Educational, Scientific
and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) lists more than 3,000 languages that
may disappear by the end of this century. Some of the languages still have a few million
speakers and may survive. Unfortunately, hundreds of languages have fewer than 25 speakers
remaining and may soon be lost forever.

indicate the correct answers to each of the questions.
Chatgpt is a state-of-the-art language model developed by openai, which has become
increasingly
popular due to its versatility and ability to respond to natural language. Like any technology,
chatgpt has both advantages and disadvantages.
One of the main advantages of chatgpt is its ability to process and respond to language in a
natural
and direct way. This makes it highly adaptable to many applications, such as virtual
assistants, customer service chatbots, and language translation. It can also save time and
money for companies by automating tasks that would normally require human labor. Another
advantage of chatgpt is its ability to continuously learn and improve through training on large
amounts of data. This means that the model can become increasingly accurate and effective
over time, leading to better user experiences and improved efficiency.
However, there are also several potential disadvantages of chatgpt. One concern is the
possibility of misuse or abuse of the technology, such as generating fake news or conducting
cyberattacks like the current apps. This is especially concerning as the model can create
convincing texts that are quite similar to humangenerated ones. Another concern is the
potential for bias in the language model, as it is trained on data that may contain unknown
biases or inaccuracies. This can lead to discriminatory responses or even promote existing
biases. Furthermore, the deployment of chatgpt can also affect the job market, as it may
replace human workers in certain industries. As a result, more and more people are jobless,
and serious social problems such as violence or robbery may arise.
In conclusion, while chatgpt has numerous benefits in terms of language processing and
machine
learning, it is crucial to consider and address potential drawbacks such as the possibility of
misuse, bias, and impact on the job market. To ensure the responsible development and
deployment of this technology, it is important to prioritize ethics and transparency, as well as
to find more inclusive and effective solutions.

The generation gap that was so in evidence during the 60s has resurfaced, but a 2009 study
showed that it was not the disruptive force. The Pew Research Center study found that 79%
of Americans see major differences between younger and older adults in the way they look at
the world. In 1969, a Gallup Poll found that a smaller percentage, 74%, perceived major
differences.
Today, however, although more Americans see generational differences, most do not see
them as divisive. That is partly because of the areas of difference. The top areas of
disagreement between young and old people, according to the Pew Research Study, are the
use of technology and taste in music. Grandparents are likely to have observed these
differences in their grandchildren who are tweens, teens, and young adults.
If large differences between the generations exist, why don't they spawn conflict? The answer
is twofold.
First, the two largest areas of difference - technology and music - are less emotionally
charged than political issues. The older generation is likely to be proud of the younger
generation's prowess in technology rather than to view it as a problem. As for the musical
differences, each generation wants its own style of music, and the older generation generally
can relate to that desire.
Second, in the other areas of difference, the younger generation tends to regard the older
generation as superior to their own generation – clearly a difference from the 1960s with its
rallying cry of "Don't trust anyone over thirty!". According to the Pew study, all generations
regard older Americans as superior in moral values, work ethics and respect for others.
Question 39. Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage?
A. The areas of differences in generation gap have changed over the years.
B. Generation gap doesn't cause a big problem in American families.
C. Different points of view are the main problem between generations in America.
D. The generation gap in the past was different from that in modern time.
Question 40. The word "divisive" in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to .
A. Positive
B. Discordant
C. Serious
D. Agreeing
Question 41. What are the two reasons why large differences between generations don't cause
disagreement?
A. The pride of the elder generation and the obedience of the younger one
B. The generosity of the elder generation and the attitude of the younger generation.
C. The major aspects of differences between generations and the respect to the elder
generation.
D. The different styles of music and the knowledge of the elder generation.
Question 42. The word "their" in the last paragraph refers to __________.
A. Over-thirty people's
B. The older generation's
C. Supervisor's
D. The younger generation's
Question 43. According to the passage, which is NOT true?
A. The elderly in America are admired in moral values, work ethic and respect for others.
B. Technology is one of the two biggest areas creating the gap between the old and the
young.
C. The majority of Americans agree generations' viewpoint to be the major differences.
D. Grandparents feel uncomfortable with their grandchildren because of their better
technology skills.
Scientists have discovered that for the last 160,000 years, at least, there has been a consistent
relationship between the amount of carbon dioxide in the air and the average temperature of
the planet. The importance of carbon dioxide in regulating the Earth's temperature was
confirmed by scientists working in eastern Antarctica. Drilling down into a glacier, they
extracted a mile-long cylinder of ice from the hole. The glacier had formed as layer upon
layer of snow accumulated year after year. Thus, drilling into the ice was tantamount to
drilling back through time.
The deepest sections of the core are composed of water that fell as snow 160,000 years ago.
Scientists in Grenoble, France, fractured portions of the core and measured the composition
of ancient air released from bubbles in the ice. Instruments were used to measure the ratio of
certain isotopes in the frozen water to get an idea of the prevailing atmospheric temperature
at the time when that particular bit of water became locked in the glacier.
The result is a remarkable unbroken record of temperature and of atmospheric levels of
carbon dioxide. Almost every time the chill of an ice age descended on the planet, carbon
dioxide levels dropped. When the global temperature dropped 9°F (5°C), carbon dioxide
levels dropped to 190 parts per million or so. Generally, as each ice age ended and the Earth
basked in a warm interglacial period, carbon dioxide levels were around 280 parts per
million. Through the 160,000 years of that ice record, the level of carbon dioxide in the
atmosphere fluctuated between 190 and 280 parts per million, but never rose much higher
until the Industrial Revolution beginning in the eighteenth century and continuing today.
There is indirect evidence that the link between carbon dioxide levels and global temperature
change goes back much further than the glacial record. Carbon dioxide levels may have been
much greater than the current concentration during the Carboniferous period, 360 to 285
million years ago. The period was named for a profusion of plant life whose buried remains
produced a large fraction of the coal deposits that are being brought to the surface and burned
today.
Question 44. Which of the following does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Techniques for studying ancient layers of ice in glaciers
B. Effects of plant life on carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere
C. Chemical causes of ice ages
D. Evidence of a relationship between levels of carbon dioxide and global temperature

to determine which of following?
A. The temperature of the atmosphere when the ice was formed
B. The amount of air that had bubbled to the surface since the ice had formed
C. The rate at which water had been frozen in the glacier
D. The date at which water had become locked in the glacier

Social media marketing has increased due to the growing active user rates on social media
sites. For example, Facebook currently has 2.2 billion users, Twitter has 330 million active
users and Instagram has 800 million users.
One of the main uses is to interact with audiences to create awareness of the brand or service,
with the main idea of creating a two-way communication system where the audience and/or
customers can interact back; providing feedback as just one example. Social media can be
used to advertise; placing an advert on Facebook's Newsfeed, for example, can allow a vast
number of people to see it or targeting specific audiences from their usage to encourage
awareness of the product or brand. Users of social media are then able to like, share and
comment on the advert, becoming message senders as they can keep passing the advert's
message on to their friends and onwards. The use of new media put consumers on the
position of spreading opinions, sharing experience, and has shift power from organization to
consumers for it allows transparency and different opinions to be heard.
Media marketing has to keep up with all the different platforms. They also have to keep up
with the ongoing trends that are set by big influencers and draw many people’s attention. The
type of audience a business is going for will determine the social media site they use.

to 43.
The Video Loggers
One rather unlikely word that has recently entered the language is “blog", a shortened form of
“web log”. A blog is a diary posted on the Internet by the person writing it - the blogger
___(39)___ presumably expects ___(40)___ people to read it. It is ironical that modern
technology is being used to ___(41)___ new life into such an old-fashioned form as the
personal journal. And now, as the technology about video cameras is making them easier to
use, we have the video log, or “vlog". Vlogging does not require highly sophisticated
equipment: a digital video camera, a high-speed Internet connection and a host are all that is
needed.
Vloggers can put anything that takes their fancy onto their personal website. Some vloggers
have no ambitions rather than to show films they have shot while on holiday in exotic places.
___(42)___, vlogs can also serve more ambitious purposes. For instance, amateur film-
makers who want to make a ___(43)___ for themselves might publish their work on the
Internet. And increasingly, vlogs are being used to publicize political and social issues that
are not newsworthy enough to get coverage by the mass media. It is still too early to predict
whether vlogging will ever take off in a major way or if it is just a passing fad, but its
potential is only now becoming apparent.

Ask any science fans about the future and they will most definitely tell you that it will be full
of flying cars - where drivers may become optional! Many researchers, scientists and
engineers see personal air transport as the inevitable solution to the problem of congested
roads or airports that suffer from delays.
At first, it was a dream to combine a car with an aeroplane. However, a flying car was
considered to be too heavy, costly to design and inefficient. Another problem was that you
had to be a pilot with a certified licence in order to fly one. Now, with modern lightweight
materials and computer technology. A number of inventors and small companies are working
on their own individual versions of flying cars, which they hope will dramatically change air
travel.
Paul Moller, Chief Executive of Moller International and developer of the flying skycar
M400, spent 40 years and millions of dollars designing, building and testing the personal
aircraft. Technically speaking, this flying car is known as a a 'volantor', which is defined as a
vertical take-off and finding aircraft that is capable of flying quickly and easily. This allows
the flying car to be flexible like a helicopter without losing the speed of a fast aircraft. It runs
on petrol, diesel, alcohol or propane and its fuel consumption is comparable to that of a
medium-sized car. This model has been tested to guard against accidents. Mr. Moller states
that his flying car is able to fly from airports and heliports.
However, in the future it will be possible to land at at 'vertiports', which will include fields,
parking lots, private properties, shopping centers or skyscraper roofs.
The benefits of this new technology will be quite remarkable. Firstly, the effect on the
environment will be of maximum importance, as flying cars will reduce air and noise
pollution levels considerably. People will be free of traffic jams and will have more flexible
lifestyles and travel times. When these vehicles become popular, then people will have
freedom of choice between rural and urban lifestyles, as they will be able to live in a village
near a small airport and fly to their workplace in the city hundreds of miles away.
Whatever the future holds, it seems very likely that our children will be 'volanting' from small
airports or 'vertiports' instead of breathing harmful exhaust fumes. However, it will be
decades before the ordinary consumer is able to afford this technology.

Until relatively recently, newspapers were our primary source of daily news. They must now
compete, however, with online news, social media and television in a progressively digital
age. The internet is changing the way people get their news, leaving a dwindling audience
willing to pay for their daily paper. But given that the form first emerged in early-17th
century in Europe, it’s probably about time the medium got overhauled. Newspapers have
witnessed an extraordinary era of change: from the evolution of democratic institutions and
political parties to the reshaping of whole countries and continents.
By the end of the 19th century, newspapers were using a visual template not unlike those of
today, and had become the source of not only large profits but also unaccountable political
and social influence for their owners – a trend that has continued to the present day.
Newspapers prospered in this form for more than 150 years, and in many countries, daily life
would have been inconceivable without access to one. But in many places, the continuing
existence of newspapers is under threat.
Circulation figures for all types of newspapers, local, regional and national, bear out the fact
that, in many Western nations at least, sales of printed newspapers had been falling for many
years prior to the emergence of the internet. What is also beyond question, though, is that the
arrival and exponential growth of the World Wide Web, leading to near-universal coverage,
has accelerated this process greatly. Observing the rapidity and extent of this process around
the world provides a fascinating insight into social change.
We now live in an age where speed and convenience have gained precedence over reliability
and quality in most aspects of our existence. Regarding the former, newspapers only allow
getting updated about events some considerable time after they have actually happened, while
online users can access them more or less at the moment at which they occur. Printed
newspapers, therefore, provide a less efficient source of news and, furthermore, do so in a
less environmentally-friendly way than the internet, and at a direct cost to the consumer.
Moreover, with news also available on tap through social media, consumers are continually
bombarded from all sides, and therefore may not wish to have each story explained in great
detail, as is the case in much of the printed media. Social media sites have also proven to be
one of the most effective means of getting information out rapidly, and on a huge scale: news
can now be tweeted before the mainstream media have even started their coverage.

Florists, personal trainers, professors, and nutritionists all have healthy jobs according to
research. There are many reasons for this. A florist, for example, sells flowers and plants to
customers. This is very relaxing work. A personal trainer, on the other hand, is usually very
fit. He or she trains other people to lose weight and to keep fit.
However, research also shows that some jobs are 'unhealthy'. They cause a lot of stress and
worry. For example, a taxi driver drives all day. He often faces traffic jams and difficult
passengers too. A firefighter puts out dangerous fires and sometimes saves people from
burning buildings.
Most people are looking for the perfect job. They want a job that is interesting, with a good
salary and not much stress. However, it is difficult to get everything. Healthy, relaxing jobs
are usually not very well paid. On the other hand, people with stressful jobs often get good
salaries. For example, the head of a big company gets a lot of money, but he or she does not
always have good health, or the time to enjoy life.

Scientists have identified two ways in which species disappear. The first is through ordinary
or ‘background’ extinctions, where species that fail to adapt are slowly replaced by more
adaptable life forms. The second is when large numbers of species go to the wall in relatively
short periods of biological time. There have been five such extinctions, each provoked by
cataclysmic evolutionary events caused by some geological eruption, climate shift, or space
junk slamming into the Earth. Scientists now believe that another mass extinction of species
is currently under way – and this time human fingerprints are on the trigger.
How are we are doing it? Simply by demanding more and more space for ourselves. In our
assault on the ecosystems around us we have used a number of tools, from spear and gun to
bulldozer and chainsaw. Certain especially rich ecosystems have proved the most vulnerable.
In Hawaii more than half of the native birds are now gone – some 50 species. Such carnage
has taken place all across the island communities of the Pacific and Indian oceans. While
many species were hunted to extinction, others simply succumbed to the ‘introduced
predators’ that humans brought with them: the cat, the dog, the pig, and the rat.
Today the tempo of extinction is picking up speed. Hunting is no longer the major culprit,
although rare birds and animals continue to be butchered for their skin, feathers, tusks, and
internal organs, or taken as savage pets. Today the main threat comes from the destruction of
the habitat of wild plants, animals, and insects need to survive. The draining and damming of
wetland and river courses threatens the aquatic food chain and our own seafood industry.
Overfishing and the destruction of fragile coral reefs destroy ocean biodiversity.
Deforestation is taking a staggering toll, particularly in the tropics where the most global
biodiversity is at risk. The shrinking rainforest cover of the Congo and Amazon river basins
and such place as Borneo and Madagascar have a wealth of species per hectare existing
nowhere else. As those precious hectares are drowned or turned into arid pasture and
cropland, such species disappear forever.
Question 44. What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. The two ways in which species disappear
B. Deforestation as a major cause of mass extinctions of species
C. Human activity and its impact on a mass extinction of species
D. The tempo of extinction of species today

Have you ever felt that there aren’t enough hours in the day? These days we have to do our
jobs, look after our homes, save energy to help the environment, and do exercise to stay
healthy! Like many of us, Alex Gadsden never had enough time. He ran a business and a
home and needed to lose weight. So he decided to do something about it. He invented the
cycle washer. The 29-year-old now starts each day with a 45-minute cycle ride. He not only
feels healthier but he saves on his energy bills and does the washing too.
He said, “It gives the user a good workout. I’ve only used it for two weeks but i’ve already
noticed a difference.” “I tend to get up at around six-thirty now and get straight on the cycle
washer. I keep it in the garden, so it’s nice to get out in the fresh air. Afterwards, I feel full of
energy. Then I generally have breakfast and a shower and I really feel ready to start the day.”
The green washing machine uses 25 litres of water a wash, and takes enough clothes to fill a
carrier bag. He normally cycles for 25 minutes to wash the clothes, and then for another 20
minutes to dry them. And it doesn’t use any electricity, of course. Mr Gadsden, the boss of a
cleaning company, believes his machine could become very popular. With an invention
which cleans your clothes, keeps you fit and reduces your electricity bill, he may well be
right.

With the widespread availability of the internet and the development of social media,

A school with no grades, no homework, no tests and no obligation to attend classes. That's
the Brooklyn Free School, a learning institution that follows a 'free' education philosophy.
Neither the school's head teacher nor the teaching staff, who are known as advisers, tell the
students what to do. It's entirely up to them to choose what they learn and how they wish to
learn it. This is based on the school's belief that learning only happens when it is self-directed
and not imposed by others.
The school is only open to students from three to eighteen years of age. It encourages them to
get involved in everything that concerns the school. In order to do so, students attend a
Democratic Meeting where they have equal votes with the staff. This get-together is at the
heart of the school's philosophy. Taking place every Wednesday, it gives staff and students
an opportunity to be heard. Announcements are made, issues are raised and everyone
cooperates for the well-being of the school. Attendance at the weekly meeting is one of the
few school rules. Though some of the younger students don't pay much attention, preferring
to read or draw instead, they must be present.
A typical school day is different for every student. They can paint, play video games or work
on laptops. Some prepare for the school's annual play by rehearsing or building stage sets. In
the kitchen, others might be baking a cake or sorting rubbish for recycling. Traditional
classroom lessons are also available if students wish to attend. These are best for students
who prefer a structured day along with a weekly timetable. By offering these choices, the
school accommodates all needs. Being part of a group of classes on a regular basis fits some
students best, while doing individual projects is what suits others.
Parents hope the school will make their children independent thinkers and problem solvers.
However, the school's system has its share of opponents. Their main criticism is that it does
not, in fact, adequately prepare students for real life. This is due to the enormous freedom
students have, which can lead to laziness and lack of discipline. Furthermore, it's believed
that the school's academic preparation is inadequate. This seems to be supported by the fact
that there are parents who have had to hire private tutors to help to make sure their children
learn the basics. Also, in its first academic year, a third of the original students left, as did the
teachers. Since then, however, enrolments have increased and people are regaining
confidence in the idea of self-regulated education and the school's mission.

What makes people give money to charity? One reason is altruism, the unselfish desire to
help other people and make the world a better place. For example, religious institutions
receive the highest percentage of donations in the United States. Colleges and universities
often receive gifts from successful graduates who want to widen educational opportunities for
other students or support research on an issue they feel is important. Hospital and medical
research organizations are often supported by donors who have been affected by a medical
problem, either directly or through the experience of family members or friends. Many
donors give to causes that have touched them personally in some way.
Charitable gifts can also be made for reasons involving personal interest. Under U.S. tax law,
an individual does not have to pay income tax on money that is donated to charity. For
extremely wealthy individuals, this can mean millions of dollars they do not have to pay in
taxes to the government. In addition to tax benefits, donors often receive favorable publicity
for making donations, and they have an opportunity to influence the world around them. For
instance, new buildings at colleges and universities are often named after important donors,
which means that they will be remembered for their generosity for many years to come.
Question 31. The word "affected" in paragraph 1 almost means _________.

A. Attacked
B. Caught
C. Fought
D. Killed
A. Charity Activities
B. Charitable Giving

Question 33. According to the passage, what is perhaps THE LEAST supported by the writer

A. People can earn their living by going to charity events.
B. Donors have a chance to affect the world around them.
C. U.S people do not have to pay income tax on charitable donations.
D. Donors can have their names honoured for a long time.
Question 34. The word "they" in paragraph 1 refers to
A. Colleges and universities
B. Educational opportunities
C. Other students
D. Successful students
Question 35. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A. Altruism is the unselfish desire to help other people.
B. Many people give away money to charity for the sake of themselves.
C. In the US, many charity events are held by the governors.
D. In the US, people donate a lot to religious institutions.
Do you like tuna? People in many countries like to eat tuna whether it is canned, cooked, or

rare. The name "tuna" refers to over 48 species of carnivorous fish that live in Pacific,
Atlantic, Indian, and Mediterranean oceans. The most important commercial species of tuna
are yellowfin, bluefin, bigeye, albacore, and skipjack. Skipjack makes up the majority of
canned tuna, while the other species are served either raw or cooked.
While the fishing of skipjack tuna is currently sustainable, it is widely accepted that the other
species have been severely overfished. In particular, bluefin tuna stocks are now at risk of
collapse. From 1976 to 2006, the population of bluefin decreased by 92%. Overfishing
continues despite repeated warnings. In 2009, scientists recommended that the quota for
northern bluefin tuna be set at 7,500 tonnes, but the Atlantic Tuna Commision set it at 16,000
tonnes. Even this limit was ignored, with the total catch of Atlantic bluefin estimated to be
60,000 tonnes in 2009.
The reason for this over-fishing is that yellowfin, bluefin, and bigeye tuna are prized for use
as (raw fish). This makes them very valuable. In 2011, a bluefin tuna weighing 342 kilograms
was sold in Tokyo for 32,49 million yen (USD 396,000). Recently, the sashimi-tuna species
have become so rare, and their price is so high that many sashimi restaurants have had to
close.
In response to decreasing tuna stocks, scientists have been trying to breed tuna in captivity. In
2009 an Austrian company succeeded in breeding southern bluefin tuna in land-based tanks.
This is an important development because tuna farming currently relies on raising juvenile
tuna that are caught in the wild. Catching these juvenile tuna makes overfishing even worse.
Everyone needs to work together to help the wild tuna survive. You can help to save the wild
tuna, too. Next time you have tuna, check to make sure you aren't eating a wild bluefin,
yellowfin, or bigeye. Hopefully, if we all play our part, it won't be too long before stocks of
tuna recover to their former levels.
