As our meeting places fall silent, save for tapping on screens, it seems we have mistaken connection for the real thing Simon Jenkins

I first noticed it in a restaurant The place was oddly quiet, and at one table a group sat with their heads bowed, their eyes hooded and their hands in their laps I then realised that every one, whatever their age group, was gazing at a handheld phone or tablet People strolled in the street outside likewise, with arms at right angles, necks bent and heads in awkward postures Mothers with babies were doing it Students in groups were doing it The scene resembled something from an old science fiction film There was no conversation

Every visit to California convinces me that the digital revolution is over, by which I mean it is won Everyone is connected The New York Times last week declared the death of conversation While mobile phones may at last be falling victim to considerate behaviour, this is largely because even talk is considered too intimate a contact No such bar applies to emailing, texting, messaging, posting and tweeting It is ubiquitous, the ultimate connectivity, the brain wired full-time to infinity.

The MIT professor and psychologist Sherry Turkle claims that her students are close to mastering the art of maintaining eye contact with a person while texting someone else It is like an organist playing different tunes with hands and feet To Turkle, these people are ‘alone together … a tribe of one’ Anyone with 3,000 Facebook friends has none.

The audience in many theatres now sit, row on row, with lit machines in their laps, looking to the stage occasionally but mostly scrolling and tapping away The same happens at meetings and lectures, in coffee bars and on jogging tracks Psychologists have identified this as ‘fear of conversation’, and have come up with the term ‘conversational avoidance devices’ for headphones

In consequence, there is now a booming demand for online ‘conversation’ with robots and artificial voices Mobiles come loaded with customised ‘boyfriends’ or ‘girlfriends’ People sign up with computerised dating advisors, even claim to fall in love with their on-board GPS guides A robot seal can be picked up in online stores to sit and listen to elderly individuals talk, tilting its head and blinking in sympathy

In his Conversation: A History of a Declining Art, Stephen Miller notes that public discourse is now dominated by ill-tempered disagreement, by ‘intersecting monologues’ Anger and lack of restraint are treated as assets in public debate, in place of a willingness to listen and adjust one’s point of view Politics thus becomes a platform of rival angers American politicians are ever more polarised, reduced to conveying a genuine hatred for each other

All that said, the death of conversation has been announced as often as that of the book As far back as the 18th century, the literary figure Samuel Johnson worried that the decline of political conversation would lead

from creative communal amusements and towards solitary mechanical ones’ Somehow we have muddled through

The ‘post-digital’ phenomenon, the craving for live experience, is showing a remarkable vigour The US is a place of ever greater congregation and migration, to parks, beaches and restaurants, to concerts, rock festivals, ball games Common interest groups, springing up across the country, desperately seek escape from the digital dictatorship, using Facebook and Twitter not as destinations but as route maps to meet up with real people Somewhere in this cultural mix I am convinced the desire for friendship will preserve the qualities essential for a civilised life, qualities of politeness, listening and courtesy Those obsessed with fashionable connectivity and personal avoidance are not escaping reality They may be unaware of it but deep down they, too, still want someone to talk to

Question 8: The writer uses the example of the ‘seal‘ in line 21 to show

A how robots can help those unable to find a romantic partner. B the negative impact of internet search engines on conversation. C how far the technology of artificial intelligence has progressed. D that electronic companions are regarded as non-threatening. Question 9: What point does the writer make in the final paragraph?

A Only those who remain polite and courteous will have friends. B Nobody can escape the negative effects of the digital revolution. C Some traditional human values are eventually bound to disappear. D Everybody needs human contact whether they realise it or not

Question 10: What point is made in the sixth paragraph about the current nature of public discussion? A Speakers are expected to behave aggressively towards each other.

B Political parties are becoming increasingly extreme in their views. C Fewer people dare to contradict the opinions of other speakers. D The behaviour of public figures reflects lower standards in society.

SECRET TO SUCCESS

dispute that motivation is a key driver of performance but this knowledge does not help many of us understand where it cornes from

Listening to a sportsperson speaking about their own personal journey may be uplifting but how is it going to leave a lasting and usable legacy in terms of how you approach your job? It is almost insulting to think it could It is not anecdotes we need, so much as a science of performance, underlying principles that help unlock the question of why some people work hard and excel while others don't; why some are committed to what they are doing while others exist in a state of semi-detachment, it is a question with ramifications not just for business but for education And, fortunately, the answers are beginning to emerge To see how, we need to take a step back and ask a deeper question: where does excellence come from?

For a long time, it was thought that the answer hinged, in large part, upon talent Hard work may be important but if you don't have the ability you are never going to become top class It is the notion that high-level performers have- excellence encoded in their DNA It turns out that this point of view is mistaken Dozens of studies have found that high flyers across all disciplines learn no faster than those who reach lower levels of attainment - hour after hour, they improve at almost identical rates The difference is simply that high achievers practise for more hours Further research has shown that when students seem to possess a particular gift, it is often because they have been given extra tuition at home The question of talent versus practice/experience would not matter much if it was merely-theoretical But it is much more than that It influences the way we think and feel, and the way we engage with our world And it determines, our motivation To see how, consider an employee who believes success is all about talent - this is known as the 'fixed mindset' Why would they bother to work hard? If they have the right genes, won't they J’ust cruise to the top? And if they lack talent, well, why bother at all? And who can blame someone for having this kind of attitude, given the underlying premise? If, on the other hand, they really believe that practice trumps talent -the 'growth mindset' - -they will persevere They will see failure as an opportunity tó adapt find grow And if they are right, they will eventually excel What we decide about the nature of talent, then, could scarcely be more important

So, how to create a growth mindset within an organisation? Interventions which have presented participants with the powerful evidence of how excellence derived from perseverance - which explains the possibility of personal transformation - have had a dramatic impact on motivation and performance When this is allied with clearly identifiable pathways from shop floor to top floor, so that employees can see the route ahead, these results.are strengthened further

Businesses that focus on recruiting external 'talent' with 'the right stuff on the other hand, and who neglect the cultivation of existing personnel, foster the fixed mindset A rank and-yank appraisal system is also damaging because it suggests that the abilities of thbse ranked the lowest cannot be developed In short, an ethos constructed upon the potential for personal transformation is the underlying psychological principle driving high performance It is an insight that is not merely deeply relevant tó business but to any organisation interested in unlocking human potential

Question 20: According to the writer, employers need to

A encourage ambition in their employees. B record the development of each employee. C reward good performance of their employees. D ensure employees know their place in a company

Question 21: The writer believes we should learn more about A the ways people's commitment to tasks can be developed. B the factors behind motivation.

C the similarities between practices in businessand education. D the importance of workers'different principles.

A respect the listeners. B interest the audience.

A consider different situations. B emphasise his point C make readers consider their own experiences. D invite comment. Question 25: The word ‘ramifications’ is closest in meaning to

A imminent effects B oncoming interests

C probable incidents D possible results

A promotion that is too rapid. B insufficient investment in personal development

WHAT WAS THE FIRST PRINTED NOVEL?

There is some debate over what (45) as history’s first novel Some say it is La Fayette’s La Princesse de Clèves, others cite Cervantes’ Don Quixote, while English critics often (46) to Daniel Defoe’s Moll Flanders The debate is in part due to the difficulty of defining the exact parameters of the novel, as here we have a form that is not as simple to delineate as poetry or drama In any case, it was after the (47) of the printing press in the 15th century that it became possible to circulate extended pieces of prose for wider
