Clearly the fan was not personally involved in achieving either success, yet they use the pronoun ‘we’ to report their team’s performance Fans’ use of ‘us’ and ‘we’ to talk about their favourite team is common behaviour It demonstrates the strong sense of identity fans feel great and enjoy experiencing the victory as if they had played a part in the success themselves The opposite of this often happens after a team suffers a defeat Fans in this case may refer to the team as ‘they’ in order to distance themselves from their team’s disappointing match result A dissatisfied fan is more likely to say ‘they played really badly’ as they want no responsibility for the depressing final score Furthermore, they will be unlikely to wear any clothing that pinpoints them as a supporter after losing to a rival team However, research shows that this is not the case with fiercely loyal or ‘true’ fans They will carry on wearing their team scarf even when their team performs badly and will say with genuine sadness, ‘they beat US three nil’ Finally, and perhaps most interestingly, is the way in which sports fans swear by their superstitions or lucky charms Wearing a certain item of clothing or carrying a lucky object is common practice of many People who may not be superstitious in other aspect of their life will claim that wearing a certain item of lucky clothing will make their team play better Equally, an action performed while the team lost will be considered bad luck and will be avoided in future for fear of jinxing the team Of course in reality it makes no difference what kind of hat you wear or whether you have your lucky coin, but superstitions are taken very seriously by sports fans and I for one would not like to try and persuade them otherwise Adapted from Gold experience by Kathryn Alevizos, Suzane Gaynar & Megan Rodeck Question 36: Which best serves as the title for the passage?

and enthusiasm for sharing knowledge with other people To become one of those noble educators in the USA, one has to satisfy several basic requirements First and foremost, it is a prerequisite to have bachelor's degree in education In the event that a candidate already has a bachelor's degree in another field, a teacher preparation program is needed But that is not all Almost every school in the USA understands that real classroom teaching experience is a vital part of a teacher's training Before taking over a class, a person typically needs to complete a training program, including working as a supervised student teacher People who want to become university teachers need master's degrees Getting a master's degree is a necessity, but if it is gained too early, there may be concerns that the candidate lacks the real-world experience to go with it In fact, very few schools want to hire novices with little or no classroom experience and even if they are accepted, they are usually ill-paid One wise solution to the issue is for future postgraduates to start working as teachers before going on to gain their master's degree Besides knowledge and experience, certain personal qualities are also required A teacher should be positive, prepared, focused, and most importantly, patient Being a teacher involves being aware of the fact that learning can sometimes be hard work,

TEST 18 Read the following and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from to It is estimated that by 2050 more than two-thirds of the world's population will live in cities, up from about 54 percent today While the many benefits of organized and efficient cities are well understood, we need to recognize that this rapid, often unplanned urbanization brings risks of profound social instability, risks to critical infrastructure, potential water crises and the potential for devastating spread of disease These risks 61 can only be further exacerbated as this unprecedented transition from rural to urban areas continues How effectively these risks can be addressed will increasingly be determined by how well cities are governed The increased concentration of people, physical assets, infrastructure and economic activities mean that the risks materializing at the city level will have far greater potential to disrupt society than ever before Urbanization is by no means bad by itself It brings important benefits for economic, cultural and societal development Well managed cities are both efficient and effective, enabling economies of scale and network effects while reducing the impact on the climate of transportation As such, an urban model can make economic activity more environmentally-friendly Further, the proximity and diversity of people can spark innovation and create employment as exchanging ideas breeds new ideas But these utopian concepts are threatened by some of the factors driving rapid urbanization For example, one of the main factors is rural-urban migration, driven by the prospect of greater employment opportunities and the hope of a better life in cities But rapidly increasing population density can create severe problems, especially if planning efforts are not sufficient to cope with the influx of new inhabitants The result may, in extreme cases, be widespread poverty Estimates suggest that 40% of the world's urban expansion is taking place in slums, exacerbating socio-economic disparities and creating unsanitary conditions that facilitate the spread of disease The Global Risks 2015 Report looks at four areas that face particularly daunting challenges in the face of rapid and unplanned urbanization: infrastructure, health, climate change, and social instability

40 years, particularly in the less developed regions, and the share of the global population living in urban areas has increased from one third in 1960 to 47% (2.8 billion people) in 1999 The world's urban population is now growing by 60 million persons per year, about three times the increase in the rural population Increasing urbanisation results about equally from births in urban areas and from the continued movement of people from the rural surround These forces are also feeding the sprawl of urban areas as formerly rural peri-urban settlements become incorporated into nearby cities and as secondary cities, linked by commerce to larger urban centres grow larger The proportion of people in developing countries who live in cities has almost doubled since 1960 (from less than 22% to more than 40%), while in more-developed regions the urban share has grown from 61% to 76% There is a significant association between this population movement from rural to urban areas and declines in
