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 following questions

In science, a theory is a reasonable explanation of observed events that are related A theory often involves an imaginary model that helps scientists picture the way an observed event could be produced A good example of this is found in the kinetic molecular theory, in which gases are pictured as being made up of many small particles that are in constant motion

A useful theory, in addition to explaining past observations, helps to predict events that have not as yet been observed After a theory has been publicized, scientists design experiments to test the theory If observations confirm the scientists' predictions, the theory is supported If observations not confirm the predictions, the scientists must search further There may be a fault in the experiment, or the theory may have to be revised or rejected

Science involves imagination and creative thinking as well as collecting information and performing experiments Facts by themselves are not science As the mathematician Jules Henri Poincare said: "Science is built with facts just as a house is built with bricks, but a collection of facts cannot be called science any more than a pile of bricks can be called a house."

High maths abilities, bad school lives

Teachers first noticed Cameron Thompson's talent for numbers when he was four years old and at pre- school Throughout primary school, Cameron Thompson's best subject was maths Then, when he was eleven, he took a maths test prior to entering secondary school The test was out of 140; Cameron scored 141 'I broke the system,' he recalls

Since then, he has continued to progress quickly He passed two GCSEs (maths and further maths) at the age of eleven, and then got the highest grade in his maths A-level before the end of that same academic year He is now fourteen years old and studying for a degree in maths; a remarkable achievement bearing in mind his age

But his academic achievements have not always been matched by social success ‘I have the social ability of a talking potato,’ he admits In other words, he feels more at ease with numbers than among other teenagers 'Most people my age despise me I've been like this for years.'

(8)

causes socially, it is now beginning to affect his marks in mathematics This is because at undergraduate level, he is expected to give reasons for his answers alongside the answers themselves Cameron's difficulty is that he often doesn't know how he has arrived at the answers, even though the answers are usually correct Cameron and his family have recently moved house and Cameron is due to start at a new school He regards it as a chance to make a fresh start and make some friends But his mother, Alison, has a few worries concerning his lack of social skills While she describes Cameron as 'very sensitive', she also acknowledges that he is socially naive and often oblivious to signals from other people

The new school specialises in dealing with students who, like Cameron, excel academically but find it difficult to relate to other students And indeed, on his first day, Cameron did make a new friend – a boy called Tim - mainly owing to a shared dislike of Justin Bieber's music

Recently, a maths professor from Cambridge University has been looking at Cameron's work His advice to Cameron is perhaps surprising Professor Imre Leader thinks Cameron should slow down, stop taking maths exams, and wait until he is eighteen before doing a degree "There's quite an important distinction” he explains, “between taking lots of exams as fast as you can, and relaxing and enjoying the level that you are at- what we call enrichment”, Professor Leader believes Cameron will better in the long run if he stops trying to progress so quickly And although Cameron does not want to finish his current degree, he isn't making any academic plans beyond that He goes to a weekly karate class after school And recently, he went to a computer games convention with some friends from karate

Since turning fourteen, Cameron's feelings towards girls have changed As he puts it, “I started to like them instead of being disgusted by them.' He's even been on a first date - without his parents And in general, he feels less isolated and unusual than he did before 'There are other people like me - high maths abilities, bad school lives - I am not alone - Spooky.'

Question 46: Recently, Cameron has noticed _ A a deterioration in his relationship with his parents B an improvement in his social life

C a sudden improvement in his school life D a loss of ambition academically

(9)

B didn't really fulfil his promise at maths C demonstrated outstanding ability in maths

D allowed his passion for numbers to dominate his life Question 48: Professor Leader thinks Cameron should _

A continue with his degree B have a temporary break from degree C give up maths completely for a few years D try to increase the speed of his progress Question 49: Cameron met a boy at his new school who _

A has something in common with him

B has even more severe problems with communication C is even better at maths

D took a strong dislike to him from the first day

Question 50: Cameron's problems with communication _ A have been interfering with his ability to maths work B have been getting worse recently

C haven't been affecting his popularity at school D are irrelevant when he's doing maths
