SECTION 2
Read the text below about social networking sites and decide if the
statements 7 - 12 are true or false.
On your answer sheet, mark: A if it is TRUE and B if it is FALSE.
SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES
As social networking sites are becoming more and more popular, researchers
are starting to worry that we may be turning into addicted users. This may
actually be true. Take a quick look around you and youll see for yourself:
people are constantly checking their smartphones to keep up with their
friends recent posts on social networking sites. They are also commenting on
and sharing that information with other friends.
Since social networking sites appeared in the late 1990s, they have become a
part of everyday life. Initially, people used them to stay in touch with family
and friends through instant messaging applications. They also created
professional profiles online so they could search for jobs. In addition, they
started making new friends who had similar interests or found old classmates
through a name search.
Nowadays, however, although all of the above still apply, social networking
sites have also become a place for posting personal details the public has no
interest in. According to psychologists, users obsessively post bits of their life
online because this gives them the illusion of having an audience. Does the
post Kathy is drinking tea with her sister Jo at Maxwell shopping centre
sound familiar? In this scenario, there would even be a photo of Kathy and her
sister drinking that tea at that shopping centre. Then, chances are, those girls
would constantly check how many people liked their photo.
Researchers have repeatedly stressed the dangers of making our private life
available online. There have been many cases of kidnappers who posed as
someone younger to make friends with a child, using a false name and photo,
for example. There is no way of knowing who is behind an online profile.
This is why, experts warn, we should never accept a friend request from
people we dont know and, of course, never agree to meet them. The same
goes for sharing personal information such as addresses and telephone
numbers online. At the end of the day, what we should be asking ourselves
before posting anything is: does the world really care or need to know where
I am or what Im doing right now?

SECTION 2

Read the text below about making career choices and decide if the
statements 7 - 12 are true or false.
On your answer sheet, mark: A if it is TRUE
B if it is FALSE.

CAREER CHOICES
I'm often asked the question How did you become a journalist? You see,
everybody expected me to become a doctor like my father. Well, during my
last year of school, I was given the opportunity to visit a careers adviser and
I can tell you she was not crazy about my career choices.
My first choice was chocolate tester. Although the adviser wasnt very
impressed, she got me the information. I discovered that chocolate testers earn
a lot of money, so I was sure I had found my dream job. However, when
I found out that chocolate testers dont just sit around eating chocolate all day,
I lost my interest. It seems that they are also involved in planning how to sell
the product. I finally decided against it when I realised a university degree
would be needed.
Next, I thought of becoming a football referee. I had loved football from a
young age. but being a professional footballer was out of the question, as
I couldn't play very well. Anyway, it seems that referees must be able to run
two and a half miles in less than twelve minutes and they are required to take
exams throughout their training. On top of that, after many years of
experience and if they are lucky they might get the chance to referee big
professional matches. So, my dream of showing David Beckham a red card
was destroyed.
Finally, I had this brilliant idea of becoming a dog stylist. That was after
I realised how much money our dog stylist, Shirley, was paid every time we
visited her with our dog, Philipo. However, once, while she was styling
Philipo, I noticed that he tried to bite her. It happens all the time, she told
me. As you can imagine, that really put me off.
To cut a long story short, all this made me realise I had a gift for research, so
by the end of the school year I had decided to become a journalist.

SECTION 2
Read the text below about a man who wanted to climb Mount Everest
and decide if the statements 7 - 12 are true or false.
On your answer sheet, mark: A if it is TRUE
if it is FALSE.
ALMOST THERE!
It had always been my dream to climb Mount Everest, and last year I decided
not to put it off any longer. I started training daily, determined not to let
physical inability prevent me from standing on the highest mountain in the
world. Then, six months later, I boarded a plane for Nepal.
I met the guide and the other members of my group in a town called
Dingboche. There I was with thirteen strangers who shared a common goal -
to reach the top of Everest. Of course, we were still far from that dream.
Before we could climb, the guide said we had to do further training there, to
get used to the altitude. We trained for what seemed like a century. This
training was nothing like any of the training I had done back home: such was
the physical effort required that we had to support each other so that nobody
gave up.
Several weeks later, we were finally ready to leave for Everest when a heavy
snowstorm hit the area. All expeditions to Everest were cancelled. The groups
that had left before us
had to turn back, while other groups got cut off and had to be rescued by
helicopter. There were even reports of some climbers being killed in an
avalanche. We were heartbroken. Would all that hard training go to waste?
One night, as we were hanging around feeling miserable, our guide suggested
we climb Ama Dablam, another great mountain. Although we were
disappointed that we were forced to settle for the next best thing, we decided
it was better than nothing. So, we set off, and as we headed upwards, the snow
got deeper and the path got icier. It wasnt easy. The strongest climbers had to
help the rest. When we reached an altitude of 5,500 metres, we were so
exhausted that we considered turning back. However, we kept going till we
reached the top. Finally we made it. It was an incredible feeling. We realised
that it's not the destination that makes everything worthwhile; its the
satisfaction you get from pushing yourself to the limits and sharing your
achievement with others.

SECTION 2
Read the text below about advancements in surgery, and decide if the
statements 7 - 12 are TRUE or FALSE according to the text.
On your answer sheet, mark: A if it is TRUE
if it is FALSE.
CUTTING-EDGE TECH
Computers are becoming more and more powerful, while at the same time
getting smaller and smaller. So small, in fact, that people can now wear them
on their head. Google Glass is a computer fixed to a pair of glasses. It
communicates with the Internet and displays images on the wearer's glasses,
while allowing them to see through the images at the same time. The lens of
the glasses has a display like a smartphone and responds to voice commands,
which basically means that the wearer can ask their glasses for information.
Pretty impressive! But, far from being just another trendy gadget, this
technology has now entered the field of healthcare.
In 2012, Google Glass and VIPAAR (Virtual Interactive Presence in
Augmented Reality) were used by a team at the University of Alabama in
Birmingham, USA, to perform one of the first virtual reality operations in the
world. Thanks to this invention, this particular operation involved the
participation of a doctor who was actually not present. Heres how it worked:
during the operation, the camera in Google Glass was constantly sending
images to another doctor in Atlanta. The remote expert could then advise on
the process, for example, by putting his hand over a special mat in his office
to point to something, which could be seen by the operating surgeon.
The effects of this technology on surgery are remarkable. A remote expert is
now able to guide a less experienced doctor, or help an experienced colleague
in a complicated operation. As more specialised doctors will be involved in
the decision-making process, this may mean many lives could be saved. The
technology also enables doctors to see medical information on their glasses,
such as a patients X-rays, a warning that a patient is allergic to an antibiotic,
or live information, such as a patients blood pressure. It can also be used to
broadcast an operation live, using remote video support, which allows doctors
and medical students to watch top surgeons at work and learn new techniques.
The great thing is that it all happens instantly, unlike with Skype or video
communication, in which doctors exchange information, but not in an
interactive way.
2016 UKRAINIAN STATE EXAM PRACTICE TESTS LEVEL B1 23
Though it is still early days, the combination of Google Glass and VIPAAR is
a significant advancement for the future of medicine and will soon be widely
used. It will not only provide doctors with assistance, skills and education, but
it will also reduce the possibility of human error.

SECTION 2

Read the text below about smart clothes and decide if the statements
7 - 12 are True or False.
On your answer sheet, mark: A if it is true, if it is false.

SMART CLOTHES
Since the idea of wearable technology was introduced in the 20th century, the
clothing industry has never been the same. The combination of fashion and
technology, as strange as it may sound, does serve a purpose. Far from aiming
to make the wearer look like Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 3, smart
clothing can have environmentally friendly, health or safety considerations
and be a development in art and design as well.

An early but important attempt at wearable technology was ICD+, a denim


jacket developed by Philips and Levi's. This jacket was nothing short of a
revolution for its time, as it had a microphone, earphones, a mobile phone and
an MP3 player installed in it. The ICD+ was not a commercial success though,
perhaps because it was so expensive (about 800). Still, it gave later inventors
an understanding of practical issues that come with smart clothes design.
For instance, to wash the ICD+, you had to remove all its electronic features.

In recent years, several fashion design companies have produced smart clothes
which are environmentally friendly. Two such projects are Solar Fiber and
Wearable Solar, which use solar cells that collect heat from the sun and turn
it into energy enough to charge your smartphone, for instance.

Another important application of this idea has to do with health. Many


sportswear companies, such as Sensoria, Heddoko and Athos, have been
focusing on sports clothes that track heart rate, muscle movement, breathing,
and even speed and distance, through special sensors embedded in the fabric
itself. This type of clothing, which ranges from socks to cycling shorts and
gym wear, is increasingly gaining popularity with athletes around the world.

SECTION 2

Read the text below about bullying and decide if the statements 7 - 12 are
true or false.
On your answer sheet, mark: A if it is TRUE
if it is FALSE.

BULLYING
A bully is a person who attacks, either physically or emotionally, a weaker
person. The existence of such organisations as Ditch the Label and
Antibullying Alliance shows that bullying is a reality that should not be
ignored. In fact, according to research carried out by Ditch the Label in 2015
in the UK, seven out of ten young people are bullied at some point at school
or college. The experience has dramatic consequences for the victim: self-
confidence is affected, school marks drop, and depression levels rise.

Some of the signs of bullying, such as cuts, bruises and torn clothes, are
physical, so they are usually easy to spot. There are, however, emotional and
behavioural signs that may help warn parents and teachers, even in cases
when the child refuses to share any information as to what is going on. Anti-
bullying organisations encourage parents and teachers to focus on any change
in the behaviour or habits of a person: for example, if the person acts
strangely, loses his or her appetite, remains oddly silent, looks unhappy, or
often loses money and other personal belongings, he or she is definitely
going though something that requires attention.

Many anti-bullying efforts are centred on helping young people deal with
bullying and even try to stop bullying from appearing in the first place. More
and more campaigns run throughout the year, especially on social networking
sites, aiming at raising awareness through discussion and action against
bullying. One such example is Anti-Bullying Week. During this week, people
are encouraged to speak out, share views and let victims of bullying know that
they are not alone. Victims can call a special, free helpline and talk to experts
who act as a support system. Also, other people can help by offering money to
anti-bullying organisations or just by helping spread their message. The hope
is that, as these efforts gain more popularity, bullying will eventually become
socially unacceptable behaviour.

On your answer sheet, mark: A if it is TRUE

GETTING OUR HOUSES IN ORDER


Nowadays, because of population growth and lack of buildable land, more and
more countries are facing a housing problem. Increases in sea level have not
helped matters, and some countries are actually fighting hard to hold on to
built-up areas which are next to the sea.

One city that has decided to deal with the problem is Amsterdam. The Dutch
city has decided to build a floating suburb called IJburg, located to the east of
the city centre. IJburg consists of three man-made islands in IJssel lake. The
first stage of the plan is for one hundred floating houses to be built, but others
will follow as long as there is enough interest from people looking to move to
the area.

Anyone interested in staying in the suburb can rent an area of water for fifty
years at a price of around 120,000. They then order their floating house and
state any preferences they may have, such as the number of rooms or how the
rooms are organised inside. The house is built in a factory and, when it is
complete, it is placed on the area of the river that the owner has rented.
Owners of the floating homes need never worry about floods or rising waters
again. The buildings are fixed at the side of the lake, but are free to move
upwards or downwards depending on the level of the water.

A number of families have already started living in the floating homes and, so
far, their opinions have been very positive. Rik Bos, who is a resident of
IJburg, enjoys admiring the beautiful view from his new house. It was always
an ambition of mine to live next to a lake, and now Im actually living on a
lake! he says. It really is a dream come true.

THE EIFFEL TOWER


It is not possible to go to Paris without seeing the Eiffel Tower. Even if you
dont go out of your way to visit it, from almost anywhere you look in the
city, the tower is simply part of the view.

Interestingly, this now-famous tower was initially intended to be only a


temporary part of France's capital city. It was completed in 1889 and took
only two years, two months and five days to build. Given the technology back
then, this was an unbelievably short amount of time. It was supposed to stand
for only twenty years, but people soon found that it was useful as well as
beautiful; its great height (at almost 1,000 feet, it was the tallest building in
the world for over forty years) made it perfect as a radio tower. More
importantly, it was so popular with the public, both at home and abroad, that
any ideas about removing it soon disappeared.

Today, millions of people visit the Eiffel Tower every year. It has three floors,
at 57 m, 115 m and 275 m off the ground, and each offers amazing views of
the city. The first floor was redesigned at one point, and now has a glass
bottom so that visitors can see straight down to the street below. The first and
second levels can be reached on foot; however, visitors need to take a lift to
reach the top floor. The view from the top floor is popular with visitors at any
time of day, but many also choose to visit the tower after the sun goes down
so that they can see the lights of Paris below. Although the great height can be
scary, regular work is done on the tower to make sure that it stays safe enough
for people to visit, and the view from the top makes it well worth it.

SECTION 2

Read the text below about visiting the doctor and decide if the statements
7 - 12 are TRUE or FALSE.

DOCTOR, DOCTOR...
Did you know that we forget about 80% of the medical information a doctor
might give us? This interesting finding came to light as a result of a study
carried out by Utrecht University. What is even more interesting is that almost
half of what we think we remember is wrong.

Why do you think this happens? Well, going to the doctor can make most
people nervous, and when we are stressed we are more likely to concentrate
on the diagnosis rather than on the treatment. Therefore, we know what is
wrong with us but have no idea what to do about it.

Here are some good tips to keep in mind when seeing a doctor. Always bring
along a notepad to write down important pieces of Information, such as how
to take prescribed medication or how to prepare for any medical tests you
might need.

What would be even better is if your doctor agreed to let you record him. In
this way, you could replay his advice at home, where you are more likely to
be able to understand it. If you believe the situation is serious or you're really
worried, get a family member or a close friend to come with you to listen In.

Regardless of what you choose to do, there is one golden rule which you need
to take into account. To communicate effectively, you need to ask the right
questions. The Partnership for Clear Health Communication (PCHC)
recommends you ask three questions every time you talk to a medical
professional: What is my main problem?, What do I need to do? and Why
is it important for me to do this? These will help you identify the problem
and deal with it in a rational way.
