Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 1 to 5

These days, most people are aware of the environmental impact of motor vehicles, and they realise

that cars are responsible for many of the problems facing their cities Not many people, however, ever stop to think about how much money they would save by switching from driving to cycling

Cars cost a lot to buy, and unlike other major investments such as houses, they quickly lose their value

On top of that, there are running costs such as repair bills, tax and insurance, all of which seem to go up every year

Bicycles, by contrast, are far less expensive to purchase and maintain, do not require petrol and are easy to park And if a lot more people took up cycling, the government could spend less of the nation's resources on roads, which at present their taxes help pay for whether they drive on them or not

The old adage ‘practice makes perfect’ has taken on special significance in recent times Its message is simple: if you do something over and over again, then your performance will improve Although often

applied to music and sports - both of which are areas in which the necessity to practise is self-evident -

the value of practice in other areas of life should not be underestimated In fact, studies seem to indicate that practice (or experience) plays a greater role in success than natural talent, if such a thing exists

Trang 6

Studies have demonstrated that high achievers are in fact no more gifted or intelligent than their contemporaries; rather, the difference lies in the amount of practice they put in In the 1980s, Benjamin Bloom, a professor of education at the University of Chicago, conducted an investigation into the factors that had led to people excelling in different fields He concluded that there was nothing in the early childhoods of these high achievers that could have predicted their later success The subjects of his

research did, however, have certain features in common, namely, that they all had dedicated teachers and

supportive families, and they had all put in intensive practice

K Anders Ericsson, a professor of Psychology at Florida State University, who has carried out research spanning more than two decades into giftedness, expertise, and the benefits of practice, concludes that

experts are invariably made, and not born However, Ericsson’s research has also indicated that what

counts is not just the amount of practice a person puts in, but rather, the way in which they practise If a person believes that it takes real talent to excel in a certain area, then they are likely to doubt their own ability to improve sufficiently to compete with others, and as a result may give up trying Conversely, the person who can learn from their mistakes, and believes that they have the capacity to improve, is more likely to succeed

In other words, experience really does count Or as another old adage puts it, ‘nothing succeeds like success’ The key to success is motivation and an understanding that practice really does make perfect

(Adapted from Global)

A Determination Creates Success B Inherent Talent Turns into Perfection C Dedication Makes Perfect D Repetition Builds Perfection!

A success is indirectly linked to natural ability B practice contributes to success more than gift C natural talent doesn’t exist in the first place D an old piece of advice may be exaggerated

A high achievers B features C subjects D contemporaries

A irregularly B variously C partly D always

A Bloom’s research wanted to get an insight into why people excelled at different fields B Those who learn from their mistakes and believe in their ability are more likely to succeed C The subjects in Bloom’s research were all born in rich families and taught by good teachers D The way in which a person practices also plays an important role in their future success

A The likelihood of achieving success can be somewhat attributed to our attitudes B Benjamin Bloom and K Anders Ericsson don’t share a belief in the impact of practice C High achievers are those who always see failure as a turning point in their life

D People are typically sceptical about their chances of realising their dreams.

Many children have music classes when they attend school And it is thought that music can help them

learn other subjects better Research has shown that it can improve children’s performance in certain

subjects

Some studies have shown that music training can help you understand your own language better It could also help you with learning a second one Moreover, young people who have studied music also seem to get higher scores in other subjects like maths So it could be that these school subjects are connected in some way

Music also helps you think of new ideas, and believe more in yourself If you are learning the guitar,

for example, it can be really exciting when you are able to start composing your own pieces of music

One of the biggest benefits, of course, is that listening to music can reduce your stress And composing music can make you feel the same way Maybe your musical knowledge will even open up a great career path for you in the future!

When it comes to ambition, no two people are alike Every class has its outstanding students, every

company has its wonderful employees, and every family has its successful members Then there is someone who is happy with whatever life brings So what makes us different?

A person’s desire to succeed depends on so many factors He or she may have goals, but without the ambition to get started, they never take the first steps to achieve them Similarly, those with an ambition but no clear goals tend to begin many projects, but do not ever follow them till the end

Although there are not any strict rules about how to ‘teach’ ambition or what decides it, many successful people do share something Most scientists agree that it helps to have parents who encourage their children to try new experiences, praise their successes, and accept their failures In those families, kids often have much higher confidence levels They know how to set goals and keep trying until they

achieve them Money also plays an important role Those who are not very rich often want to earn money

It forces them to work hard all the time to improve their life

However, the desire for success can create its own stress Working too hard to achieve success can

lead to illnesses These days, even teens and young adults are feeling the stress Trying to get into good

colleges and find good jobs has forced high school students to study harder than ever For many, it is difficult to find the balance One solution may be to get together with family and friends, and do the things we enjoy Most would agree that those values are far more important than any wealth or success

When firefighters turn up to put out a fire, traditionally people expect them to be men However, underneath the protective clothing, helmet and visor, there are more and more women One such woman is Kath Webb, who joined the fire service in 2008 and is now in charge of a team of firefighters at her local station When she became Crew Manager following a promotion, she was the first female to do so in the whole of her region

One reason for the increase in female firefighters is a change in the job requirements There is more

emphasis on communication skills nowadays, with fire officers spending a large part of their day

educating the community about fire prevention 'We visit residents and explain how to prevent fires in the first place, says Kath, and this is something women excel at.’

Nevertheless, many women are being put off the profession by the 24-hour-a-day commitment

expected of firefighters 'Everyone needs flexible working arrangements within their job, explains Women's Liaison Officer, Ruth Ward 'Family-friendly working hours would attract more women to the profession because they could have their career as well as a family life What more could anyone want?'

A Working arrangements aren’t really ideal for many female firefighters B The main aim of the fire service today is to deal with fires effectively C Ruth Ward thinks that women shouldn’t become firefighters

If you examined the birth certificates of every soccer player in a World Cup tournament, you would find an unusual tendency: elite soccer players are more likely to have been born earlier in the year than later In recent English teams, for instance, half the elite teenage soccer players were born in January, February or March In Germany, fifty-two were born in the first three months, with just four players born in the last three What might account for this?

Swedish-born Anders Ericsson, a psychology professor at Florida State University, is leader of a group of scholars trying to answer an important question: when someone is very good at something, what actually makes them good? Early experiments by Ericsson suggested that the best way to learn was a

process known as ‘deliberate practice’! This is more than simply repeating a task Rather, it involves

setting specific goals, getting immediate feedback and concentrating equally on technique and results Ericsson and his colleagues therefore began studying expert performers in a wide range of pursuits,

from soccer and surgery to piano playing and software design They've come to a rather startling

conclusion: practice really does make perfect What we call ‘talent’ is highly overrated, as expert performers are nearly always made, not born The research also suggests that when it comes to choosing a life path, you should do what you love People often give up trying to do things they don't like, telling themselves they simply don't possess the talent But what they really lack is the will to succeed and to put in the deliberate practice that would make them better Ericsson's conclusions, if accurate, suggest that students should follow their interests earlier in their schooling to build up experience and receive meaningful feedback

The insights of the researchers can explain the riddle of why so many elite soccer players are born

early in the year Since youth sports are organised by age group, teams have a cut-off birth date In the European youth soccer leagues, the cut-off date is December 31 So when a coach is assessing two players in the same age group, one born in January and the other in December, the player born in January is likely to be bigger, stronger, more mature Guess who the coach will pick He may be mistaking maturity for ability but once chosen, those January-born players are the ones who, year after year, receive the training, the deliberate practice, the feedback - and have the accompanying self-esteem - that will turn them into elite players

D It is commonly thought that it is difficult to pursue a dream if you don’t have a knack for it

A The real reason why people give up doing a thing is that they have no talent for it B Students are advised to pursue their dreams at the age of 18 to get useful feedback C The method employed in the research was akin to the process of repetition

Most people want to be polite and behave well around others Being polite involves good manners of eating and appropriate ways of greeting and talking to people, and giving and receiving gifts Polite behaviours may differ from culture to culture

In the United States, people prefer to shake hands firmly for a few seconds In some Middle Eastern countries, people hold each other’s hands gently for a longer time What about eye contact? In some countries, you show respect when you look someone directly in the eyes In other parts of the world,

looking at someone directly can be rude Another difference is personal space In North America, people

usually stand about an arm's length apart during a conversation However, in Latin to stand closer

If you are going to live, work, or study in another country, you should learn about its culture In this

Hawaii is often considered to be one place in the world where you can find paradise But when I arrived in Hawaii, I was shocked to discover beaches were covered in plastic rubbish washed up from around the

world As I dug through the sand, I realised the sandy beach was being transformed into a plastic beach

A chill went down my spine

Trang 13

From the beaches of Hawaii to the seas around Britain, we are polluting our own environment Beaches are now covered in more rubbish than ever before The plastic we see on our beaches is just a small amount of the plastic waste that exists in our oceans Scientists believe that sea currents have created five huge garbage areas in our oceans, including the one in the North Atlantic This is a global problem for which we are all responsible

Plastic makes our life easier, but its production and use are completely out of control Because plastic rubbish in the oceans looks like food, it is being eaten by small fish, which in turn is eaten by large fish, which in turn is eaten by us Plastic is damaging our beaches, polluting the oceans, and poisoning our

food chain The consequences are still not fully understood, but they are likely to be terrible

We need to stop using plastic bags for packaging and single-use water bottles These make up most of the plastic garbage in the oceans In Bangladesh and Kenya, they have stopped using plastic bags completely The UK has put a tax on plastic bags Many supermarkets around the world are not packing goods in plastic

The future of our beaches, our seas, and the food chain is at risk This is an environmental problem that

Driving along the motorway in busy traffic, the driver presses a button on the steering wheel The car is now driving itself This may sound like science fiction, but driverless cars are already on the roads in California

Many cars can already park themselves by the side of the road, brake automatically when the car needs to slow down, and warn the driver if they are slipping out of the correct lane, so going driverless is just

the next step Driverless cars come with fast broadband, allowing them to overtake other cars safely, and

even communicate with traffic lights as they approach junctions

How much time do you spend every day using technology? The shocking results of a study in the UK show that people living there now spend more time each day using media devices, such as laptops, mobile

phones and tablets, than they do sleeping!

We live in a world where technology is everywhere 24/7 and we find it hard to disconnect from this digital bombardment Increasingly, experts are recommending a digital detox - spending time without

technology to combat the negative effects of tech dependence Technology overuse has been linked to

obesity, a poor attention span, an increase in stress and anxiety, poor sleep and low energy levels

If the idea of disconnecting from media devices fills you with horror, you are not alone However, it

needn't mean totally cutting yourself off from technology Small changes to your lifestyle can make a big difference - for example, create a technology-free zone at home, unplug for just one hour a day, ideally the hour before you go to sleep

Those that want to go a step further can now book a digital detox holiday There are an increasing number of travel companies which offer different 'de-tech' packages, ranging from places that are wi-fi free to hotels where you have to hand over all your electronic devices when you check in

There are important benefits to digitally detoxing, which include better concentration, increased creativity and clarity of mind, improved social relationships and reduced stress and anxiety So what are you waiting for? Switch off now - you never know, you might even enjoy it!
