school-goers to achieve academic excellence by their parents that these _ (real) expectations are causing children to become hopelessly depressed Indeed, some, in their _ (despair) to escape and their sense of guilt at being unable reach the levels of success demanded of them by their _ (push) parents, either rebel in what is _ (amount) to a cry for help, or, worse still, engage in _ (harm) It is no coincidence that suicide rates, expecially amongst young males, have been rising steadily for some time now These are tough times to be a teen Then there are those who get hooked on the internet; the _ (virtue) world becomes their reality For these teens, their social circle shrinks _ (drama) until, at last, their friendship sphere is limited solely to their online _ (bud) Not alone they commonly suffer from sleep _ (private) on account of their destructive addiction to game play and net-surfing, their behaviour may become so 10 _ (err) and peculiar over time as to be considered 11 _ (social) And while they sit at their computer screens hidden away in splendid isolation from the real world, such is the lack of exercise they get that their calorie intake far exceeds what is necessary for them to maintain a stable weight In essence, due to their sedentary lifestyle, their weight 12 _ (rocket) until such time as they become morbidly obese B The standard of television programming produced in this country is in terminal decline The _ (shed) has become a meaningless term confined in its _ (apply) to _ (go) days when adult content felt the full force of censorship and was not allowed to appear on the box until after 9:00 p.m Nowadays, however, it seems anything goes any time And, truth told, whatever anything is, it seldom 'goes' for much longer than a half hour or so at any rate before it is interrupted by a commercial break And don't even get me started on those appalling _ (inform) most of the networks run right the way through the night, one after another, for up to thirty minutes at a time lt is truly painful Terrestrial television is now, as far as I am concerned, a laughing stock All the quality has been bought up by the satellite networks, with their big-money weight behind them, but even here _ (pick) are slim In protest at the dire state of things, I have become a converted _ (net) I look to the web now to find good content There, I can find just enough _ (run) of quality programmes to prevent myself from falling into utter despair and pining for the good old days of _ (year) C In January 2001, the _ (govern) Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued its latest report on climate change Climate models worked out by giant super-computers had become far more reliable since the previous report in 1995 and allowed them to _ (praise) the earlier projections for global warming Their conclusions were that something very serious is happening and that it cannot be a natural process The 1990s was the hottest decade for 1,000 years and the Earth is warming faster than at any time in the last 10,000 years According to the report, human activities are _ (equivocate) to blame for the temperature rise The burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide and, due to deforestation, there are fewer trees to absorb this gas and recycle it back into oxygen Methane _ (concentrate) have also gone up dramatically because of increases in rice culture and _ (cattle), both of which generate methane from _ (compose) vegetation These greenhouses gases trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere and cause the temperature to rise In the worst case, the resulting melting of ice-caps and glaciers would cause sea levels to rise by up to 88 cm, endangering the homes and _ (lively) of tens of millions of people who live in low-lying regions Unfortunately, there is far greater _ (unanimous) among the world’s scientists over the issue than among politicians As long ago as 1990, the IPCC recommended a 60% reduction in carbon dioxide _ (emit), as the basic level required to return the planet’s climate to a healthy level Governments globally failed to 10 _ (act) these proposals Now that the dangers have been reaffirmed by the latest report, it is high time that governments took an active interest in exploring alternative, renewable energy sources D People intuitively recognize the importance of self-esteem to their psychological health, so it isn't particularly remarkable that most of us try to protect and enhance it in ourselves whenever possible What is remarkable is that attention to self-esteem has become a(n) _ (commune) concern, at least for Americans, who see a favorable opinion of oneself as the central psychological source from which all manner of positive outcomes spring The corollary, that low self-esteem lies at the root of individual and thus _ (society) problems and _ (function), has sustained an ambitious social agenda for decades Indeed, campaigns to raise people's sense of self-worth abound Consider what transpired in California in the late 1980s Prodded by State Assemblyman John Vasconcellos, Governor George Deukmejian set up a task force on self-esteem and personal and social responsibility Vasconcellos argued that raising selfesteem in young people would reduce crime, teen pregnancy, drug abuse, school _ (achieve) and pollution At one point, he even expressed the hope that these efforts would one day help balance the state budget, a prospect predicated on the observation that people with high _ (regard) earn more than others and thus pay more in taxes Along with its other activities, the task force assembled a team of scholars to survey the relevant literature The results appeared in a 1989 volume _ (title) The Social Importance of Self-Esteem, which stated that "many, if not most, of the major problems plaguing society have roots in the low self-esteem of many of the people who make up society." In reality, the report contained little to support that assertion
