‭Read‬‭the‬‭following‬‭passage‬‭and‬‭mark‬‭the‬‭letter‬‭A,‬‭B,‬‭C,‬‭or‬‭D‬‭on‬‭your‬‭answer‬‭sheet‬‭to‬‭indicate‬‭the‬
‭correct answer to each of the questions from 18 to 24.‬
‭Violent‬ ‭online‬ ‭content‬ ‭is‬ ‭now‬ ‭“unavoidable”‬ ‭for‬ ‭children‬ ‭in‬ ‭the‬ ‭UK,‬ ‭with‬ ‭many‬ ‭first‬ ‭exposed‬
‭to ‬‭it‬‭when‬ ‭they‬ ‭are‬ ‭still‬ ‭in‬ ‭primary‬ ‭school,‬ ‭research‬ ‭from‬ ‭the‬ ‭media‬ ‭watchdog‬ ‭has‬ ‭found.‬ ‭Every‬
‭single‬ ‭British‬ ‭child‬ ‭interviewed‬ ‭for‬ ‭the‬ ‭Ofcom‬ ‭study‬ ‭had‬ ‭watched‬‭violent‬‭material‬‭on‬‭the‬‭internet,‬
‭ranging‬ ‭from‬‭videos‬‭of‬‭local‬‭school‬‭and‬‭street‬‭fights‬‭shared‬‭in‬‭group‬‭chats,‬‭to‬‭explicit‬‭and‬‭extreme‬
‭graphic violence, including gang-related content.‬
‭Children‬ ‭were‬ ‭aware‬ ‭that‬ ‭even‬ ‭more‬ ‭extreme‬ ‭material‬ ‭was‬ ‭available‬ ‭in‬ ‭the‬ ‭deeper ‭r‬ ecesses‬‭of‬ ‭the‬
‭web,‬‭but‬‭had‬‭not‬‭sought‬‭it‬‭out‬‭themselves,‬‭the‬‭report‬‭concluded.‬‭The‬‭findings‬‭prompted‬‭the‬‭NSPCC‬
‭to‬ ‭accuse‬ ‭tech‬ ‭platforms‬ ‭of‬ ‭sitting‬ ‭back‬ ‭and‬ ‭“ignoring‬ ‭their‬ ‭duty‬ ‭of‬ ‭care‬ ‭to‬ ‭young‬ ‭users”.‬ ‭Rani‬
‭Govender,‬‭a‬‭senior‬‭policy‬‭officer‬‭for‬‭child‬‭safety‬‭online,‬‭said:‬‭“It‬‭is‬‭deeply‬‭concerning‬‭that‬‭children‬
‭are‬‭telling‬‭us‬‭that‬‭being‬‭unintentionally‬‭exposed‬‭to‬‭violent‬‭content‬‭has‬‭become‬‭a‬‭normal‬‭part‬‭of‬‭their‬
‭online‬ ‭lives.‬ ‭It‬ ‭is‬ ‭unacceptable‬ ‭that‬ ‭algorithms‬ ‭are‬ ‭continuing‬ ‭to‬ ‭push‬‭out‬‭harmful‬‭content‬‭that‬‭we‬
‭know can have ‭p
‬ ernicious‬‭mental and emotional consequences for young people.”‬
‭The‬ ‭research,‬ ‭conducted‬ ‭by‬ ‭the‬ ‭Family,‬‭Kids‬‭and‬‭Youth‬‭agency,‬‭is‬‭part‬‭of‬‭Ofcom’s‬‭preparation‬‭for‬
‭its‬‭new‬‭responsibilities‬‭under‬‭the‬‭Online‬‭Safety‬‭Act,‬‭passed‬‭last‬‭year,‬‭which‬‭handed‬‭the‬‭regulator‬‭the‬
‭power to crack down on social networks that are failing to protect their users, particularly children.‬
‭Gill‬‭Whitehead,‬‭Ofcom’s‬‭online‬‭safety‬‭group‬‭director,‬‭said:‬‭“Children‬‭should‬‭not‬‭feel‬‭that‬‭seriously‬
‭harmful‬‭content‬‭–‬‭including‬‭material‬‭depicting‬‭violence‬‭or‬‭promoting‬‭self-injury‬‭–‬‭is‬‭an‬‭inevitable‬‭or‬
‭unavoidable‬‭part‬‭of‬‭their‬‭lives‬‭online.‬‭Today’s‬‭research‬‭sends‬‭a‬‭powerful‬‭message‬‭to‬‭tech‬‭firms‬‭that‬
‭now‬‭is‬‭the‬‭time‬‭to‬‭act‬‭so‬‭they‬‭are‬‭ready‬‭to‬‭meet‬‭their‬‭child‬‭protection‬‭duties‬‭under‬‭new‬‭online‬‭safety‬
‭laws.‬‭Later‬‭this‬‭spring,‬‭we‬‭will‬‭consult‬‭on‬‭how‬‭we‬‭expect‬‭the‬‭industry‬‭to‬‭make‬‭sure‬‭that‬‭children‬‭can‬
‭enjoy‬ ‭an‬ ‭age-appropriate,‬ ‭safer‬ ‭online‬‭experience.”‬‭Almost‬‭every‬‭leading‬‭tech‬‭firm‬‭was‬‭mentioned‬
‭by‬ ‭the‬ ‭children‬ ‭and‬ ‭young‬‭people‬‭interviewed‬‭by‬‭Ofcom,‬‭but‬‭Snapchat‬‭and‬‭Meta’s‬‭apps‬‭Instagram‬
‭and WhatsApp came up most frequently.‬

‭Pesticide-intensive agriculture has become the default for how food is grown in the United States.‬
‭This‬‭widespread‬‭use‬‭causes‬‭widespread‬‭exposure.‬‭Farmworkers‬‭face‬‭the‬‭most‬‭acute‬‭exposures‬‭when‬
‭applying‬ ‭pesticides.‬ ‭Due‬ ‭to‬ ‭regular‬ ‭exposure‬ ‭to‬ ‭pesticides‬ ‭and‬‭acute‬‭poisonings,‬‭farmworkers‬‭face‬
‭the‬ ‭most‬ ‭chemical-related‬ ‭illnesses‬ ‭of‬ ‭any‬ ‭occupation‬ ‭in‬ ‭the‬ ‭U.S.‬ ‭and‬ ‭suffer‬ ‭between‬ ‭10,000‬ ‭and‬
‭20,000‬‭pesticide‬‭poisonings‬‭per‬‭year.‬‭Communities‬‭near‬‭farms‬‭can‬‭also‬‭be‬‭exposed‬‭due‬‭to‬‭pesticide‬
‭drift.‬ ‭In‬ ‭particular,‬ ‭those‬ ‭living,‬ ‭working,‬ ‭or‬ ‭attending‬ ‭school‬ ‭near‬ ‭larger‬ ‭farms‬ ‭using‬ ‭elevated‬
‭spraying‬ ‭equipment‬ ‭or‬ ‭crop-dusting‬ ‭planes‬ ‭that‬ ‭apply‬ ‭chemicals‬‭to‬‭crops‬‭and‬‭fields‬‭face‬‭exposure.‬
‭Children‬‭are‬‭especially‬‭vulnerable‬‭to‬‭these‬‭airborne‬‭pesticides,‬‭given‬‭that‬‭their‬‭young‬‭bodies‬‭are‬‭still‬
‭growing and developing.‬
‭Pesticide‬ ‭exposure‬ ‭also‬ ‭affects‬ ‭consumers.‬ ‭Pesticide‬ ‭residues‬ ‭have‬ ‭been‬ ‭found‬ ‭in‬ ‭drinking‬ ‭water,‬
‭soil,‬ ‭rainwater,‬ ‭and‬ ‭a‬ ‭wide‬ ‭range‬ ‭of‬ ‭food‬ ‭products,‬ ‭making‬ ‭human‬ ‭exposure‬ ‭to‬ ‭these‬ ‭chemicals‬
‭almost‬ ‭unavoidable.‬ ‭Increasingly‬ ‭of‬ ‭concern‬ ‭to‬ ‭consumers,‬ ‭food‬ ‭products‬ ‭that‬ ‭contain‬ ‭pesticide‬
‭residues‬ ‭can‬ ‭be‬ ‭found‬ ‭across‬ ‭the‬ ‭supermarket; ‬‭they‬‭include‬ ‭many‬ ‭produce‬ ‭items‬ ‭from‬ ‭spinach‬ ‭to‬
‭cherries, cereal and oatmeal, grains, beans, and even flours and cooking oils.‬
‭A‬ ‭growing‬‭body‬‭of‬‭scientific‬‭research‬‭connects‬‭pesticide‬‭exposures‬‭to‬‭many‬‭harmful‬‭human‬‭health‬
‭effects,‬ ‭including‬ ‭cancer,‬ ‭birth‬ ‭and‬ ‭developmental‬ ‭defects,‬ ‭liver‬ ‭and‬ ‭kidney‬ ‭disease,‬ ‭obesity,‬ ‭and‬
‭others.‬ ‭Due‬ ‭to‬ ‭the‬ ‭wide‬ ‭use‬ ‭of‬ ‭so‬ ‭many‬ ‭pesticides,‬ ‭science‬ ‭has‬ ‭hardly‬ ‭begun‬ ‭to‬ ‭understand‬ ‭the‬
‭health ‬‭implications‬‭of‬‭combined‬‭exposures,‬‭including‬‭interactions‬‭between‬‭chemicals‬‭and‬‭long-term‬
‭impacts of small dose exposures over the course of a lifetime.‬
