In Canton, Mississippi, 10-year-old Tonya Hailey is viciously brutalized by two

Almost immediately after Tonya is found and rushed to a hospital, Pete and Billy Ray are

scheduled to be placed on trial. Despite the efforts of the NAACP and local African-American leaders to persuade
Carl to choose some of their high-powered attorneys, Carl wants to be represented by his friend Jake Tyler Brigance,
who has a wife named Carla and a daughter named Hannah. Presiding over the trial is white judge Omar Noose,
and the prosecution attorney is Rufus Buckley, who would like nothing more than to win the case and swim in the
15 publicity that a win would generate, because Rufus realizes that a (e) murder conviction could help
him gain higher office. Helping Jake on the case are his former law professor Lucien Wilbanks, fellow attorney
Harry Rex Vonner, and law student Ellen Lark. Ellen has had experience with death penalty cases, and that’s exactly
what Rufus may be seeking. To start things off, Noose denies (f) bail and denies Jake’s petition
for a change of venue. Carl has also been fired from his job. Billy Ray Cobb’s brother Freddie Lee Cobb wants
20 revenge on Carl, so Freddy gets the help of the Mississippi branch of the KKK, led by Mississippi grand dragon
Stump Sisson. Carl’s wife Gwen tells Carl that a doctor has said because of Pete and Billy Ray, Tonya’s reproductive
organs are damaged enough to where she won’t be able to have kids when she grows up. That night, a
(g) KKK member is found trying to plant a bomb under Jake’s porch. Jake’s secretary Ethel Twitty and her

African-American residents, and Stump Sisson is killed by a molotov cocktail that was dropped from a roof by
one of Carl’s sons, who was not seen dropping it. Freddy and the KKK start burning crosses throughout Canton,
and one of the crosses burns Jake’s house down while Jake and his family are not home. As a result, the National
Guard is called to Canton to keep the peace during the (i) trial . But Freddy is not about to let
30 that stop him. While Freddy continues his efforts to get revenge on Carl for Billy Ray’s death, Carl’s attorneys put
everything they’ve got into Carl’s defense.

auction | shopaholics | shoes | scarf | magazine | bond

credit cards | purchases | homeless | debt | addiction | declined
Rebecca Bloomwood is looking at beautiful (a) shoes and talking about how there are two
kinds of prices: real prices, which buy wonderful things, and her mother’s prices, which buy things that last forever.
We see her receiving a sturdy pair of plain brown shoes and looking enviously at the other girls. We see her looking
at older girls trying on dresses and jewelry, and not even needing money for these perfect things as they swipe
5 (b) credit cards . She wanted one of those. Now the adult Rebecca (Isla Fisher) is walking down the
street, saying little did she dream she would one day have twelve.
“Bex” is a writer for a gardening magazine with a closet full of clothes and accessories, and a lot of
(c) debt . She does not know the exact sum, but she is concerned when she receives a bill for
$900. The debt is very high, and among other things it comes with persistent collection agent Derek Smeath.
10 Heading off to an interview at Alette (d) magazine , run by Alette Naylor (Kristin Scott Thomas),
Bex spies the perfect green scarf; even the mannequin is telling her that it will define who she is. She tries to buy
it by spreading the price over cash and multiple cards, but with one card being declined, she’s still $20 short. She

Part

rushes to a hot dog vendor, begging the vendor to give her cash back on a check, claiming she needs the scarf
for a sick aunt. The man in the front of the line gives her twenty dollars to get her out of the way so he can get
15 his hot dog, telling her there is a difference between cost and worth.
Wearing the scarf, Bex heads into Alette’s office, but the receptionist tells her that Alicia Billington has filled
the job internally. Complimenting her on the (e) scarf , he tells her that a consumer finance magazine
from the same parent company is also hiring, and getting her foot in the door there will help. Bex hurries over to
that office, and meets her interviewer, Luke Brandon (Hugh Dancy), the man in line from the hot dog stand. The
20 interview does not go well, and things get worse as she returns to her job and finds that the magazine is closing,
and everyone has received termination notices.
Bex goes to her roommate, Suze (Krysten Ritter), who tears up her rent check, but it does not resolve the
debt problem. With the help of a bottle of tequila, they go through the bills, Suze adding figures up and finding
that the news is horrible. However, they get the brilliant idea to write up a sample article for Alette and send it in.
25 At the same time, Bex drafts a mean note to Luke. A call from Luke the next day leads her to realize that she put
the letters in the wrong envelopes: He likes her idea of using shoes as a metaphor for investing, but before taking
that job, she makes a desperate rush to intercept the insulting letter on its way to Alette. By hiding in a coat rack,
stretching, and ending up flat on her back in front of Alicia, she does manage to. Suze also gets Bex to go to a support
group for (f) shopaholics but all Bex does is send most of the members into a relapse as she describes
30 her love of shopping. Suze also makes Bex watch a video about shopping (g) addiction , and tries to
get her to declutter, but Bex just hides everything in the closet, which later explodes onto and buries Suze.
Bex gets off to a rocky start at the magazine, especially since her card is (h) declined as she tries
to buy a finance book. Luke takes her to a company meeting and makes her question the presenter about their
bonuses, seeing as the company posted a loss. He asks her to go home and send him a new outline for the article,
35 but a sample sale distracts her. Her new column, “The Girl in the Green Scarf”, is well received. Although the head
of advertising is nervous, Bex wins over the company head, bankers, and even Finns from Nokia, as she manages
to avoid getting caught in her constant lie that she is fluent in Finnish.
In Miami, she and Luke share a shopping trip and a dance. He reveals that his mother is a wealthy socialite,
but he wants to make it on his own. They (i) bond , but she finds out that he is having dinner with
40 Alicia, upsetting her. She also finds out that Alicia will be Luke’s date for an upcoming ball. Suze convinces Bex
not to buy a new dress, but to use something she already has for the ball, but the evening turns out to be jinxed:
Bex’s jacket unravels, beads come off and trip an elderly woman, and her dress is similar enough to that worn by
the waitresses and she is handed a platter, sending fish onto many of the diners. Luke smooths things over and
the night takes a turn for the better as he joins her out on the balcony and kisses her.
45 Her work is being so well-received that Bex is given a television spot with Luke, and Alette takes her shopping.
While Bex is trying on clothes, Alicia holds her purse and takes a call from Smeath, thus finding out Bex’s debt
issues. Bex buys the outfit, though it costs a month’s pay, and heads over to her bridesmaid dress fitting, as Suze
is getting married. Upset to see the Barney’s shopping bag, Suze sends Bex back to the support group. Bex meets
a new woman going in to the support group, and asks her to stash her (j) purchases in her trunk. The
50 woman agrees, but turns out to be the new group leader, Miss Korch, who marches the group to a thrift shop

Part

and makes Bex turn over the purchases. Bex goes to buy them back after, but only has enough cash for one, so
chooses the Barney’s dress for the television appearance. The show is going well, but once things are turned over
to the audience for questions, Smeath stands up and exposes her debt issues, as well as the lie of him being an
ex-boyfriend, which Suze, her fiancée Tarq, and Bex’s parents all see.
55 Bex goes back to the apartment to find Suze; while they’re talking, a homeless woman goes by wearing
Bex’s bridesmaid dress. Suze is furious and moves out. Alette stops by and makes an offer to Bex to work at Alette,
but since it would involve writing about affordable fashion that is not really affordable, and encouraging more
credit card use, Bex turns her down. Before this happens, Alicia complains to Luke about being stuck with Bex.
Bex returns to her support group, asking for help, and sets up a sample sale and (k) auction
60 of her entire wardrobe. She sends a notice to the original receptionist at Alette, who forwards it to all assistants,
including Luke’s assistant, Hayley. Everything sells, with the last item on the block being the original green scarf.
In the audience, Hayley has ended up sitting next to Bex’s mother, who reveals that Bex turned down the Alette
offer.
Having defended Bex, Luke’s job is in danger, but the owner surprises him by offering to start a new magazine.
65 As they talk, Luke realizes he wants to strike out on his own, possibly inspired by Bex earlier telling him that she
could see him running his own business. The grand total from the auction is over $16,000, allowing Bex to pay
off her debt. Bex shows up at Suze’s wedding wearing the bridesmaid dress, which she has traded back from the
(l) homeless woman for other clothes. They reconcile, and Suze and Tarq are married. As the newlyweds
drive off, Bex wanders down the street. Luke presents her with the green scarf, having sent both of the bidders.
70 They kiss on the street, and she talks about how giving up shopping has allowed her time for other things,
including a relationship with Luke.

thinks all those shoes aren’t enough.
Picture B: portrays women running to buy the clothes they crave at the best price. The amount of
women exceeds the goods for sale, causing great tension and distress among the buyers.
The picture ironically resembles the start of a running competition.

And I am black, but oh my soul is (a) white !

But I am (c) black , as if bereaved of light.
5 My (d) mother taught me underneath a tree,

And, sitting down before the heat of day,
She took me on her lap and kissed me,
And, pointed to the east, began to say:
“Look on the rising sun: there God does live,

10 And gives His light, and gives His heat away,
And flowers and trees and beasts and men receive
Comfort in morning, joy in the noonday.
“And we are put on earth a little space,

That we may learn to bear the beams of love
15 And these black bodies and this (e) sunburnt face
Is but a cloud, and like a shady (f) grove . William Blake (1757-1827)
“For when our (g) souls have learn’d the heat to bear,
The cloud will vanish, we shall hear His voice,
Saying, ‘Come out from the grove, my love and care
20 And round my golden tent like lambs rejoice’,”
Thus did my mother say, and kissed me;

And thus I say to little English boy.
When I from black and he from white cloud free,
And round the tent of God like (h) lambs we joy.
25 I’ll (i) shade him from the heat till he can bear
To lean in joy upon our Father’s knee;
And then I’ll stand and stroke his (j) silver hair,
And be like him, and he will then love me.

If you had the chance, would you consider doing a part-time job?

Read the following text carefully.
Part-time workers “trapped” in jobs with no chance of promotion
More than three quarters of part-time
workers feel trapped in their jobs and unable to
get promoted or find another flexible role that
fits their skills, according to research.
5 A quarter of Britons now work 30 hours or
less, but a survey of 1,000 employees earning the
equivalent of £20,000 to £100,000 a year suggests
those who have opted to do shorter working
weeks often “hit a wall” and see their careers stall.
10 The research is included in a report by the
Timewise Foundation, entitled The Flexibility
Trap, published on Monday.
It said that only around 3% of UK job vacancies for part-time roles offered a pro-rata salary of £20,000 or
more, and workers were being forced to lower their expectations when searching for work.
15 Seven in 10 of respondents said they had downgraded the salary and level of job they applied for, with the
average salary sacrifice at £6,730. Employees with children expected to take home £436 less than those without.
Almost three-quarters of those interviewed by researchers said they haven’t been promoted since working
part-time, with more than a fifth saying they wouldn’t expect to be. However, more than a quarter said they are
overqualified for the part-time role they currently hold.
20 Almost all (99%) said they wished employers would make it clear when advertising a job whether it can be
worked part-time or flexibly, and there was uncertainty about when it was right to ask.
“Work in the UK is undergoing a fundamental shift,” said Karen Mattison, co-founder of the Timewise
Foundation, a business aimed at supporting part-time workers. Mattison added: “More than a quarter of UK
workers are part-time or flexible, with most needing to fit their careers with something else in life. Yet millions
25 are hitting a wall at key points in their careers, when they want to progress or move to a new role.”
Jaya Patel, 37, has two children under the age of six. She felt that working part-time in banking litigation
made it extremely difficult to get a promotion. “When I had my first child the firm was shocked, but good about
it. Upon my return, I negotiated flexible hours, which meant leaving at 5.30pm, with one day a week off. I agreed
to log back on at home and work when necessary, but this happened almost every night,” she said
30 “Everything came to a head during my last appraisal. I was told that I needed to be seen pushing for counsel
or partnership, and to achieve this I would need to spend at least four nights a week on marketing or business
development.” Patel eventually decided on a career change, which involved taking a large pay cut. “I’m enjoying
it. But it’s incredibly hard to find jobs that are openly part-time or flexible, from day one.”
Elizabeth Gardiner, head of policy at Working Families, said: “It may be the easy option to offer a vacancy on
35 the same basis as the last full-time job, but there is a business case for changing practice. Failing to advertise jobs
as available on a part-time or flexible basis means employers are recruiting from a limited talent pool, and skilled
part-time workers are less able to advance their careers.”

Part
3
Gardiner said she wanted all jobs to be advertised on a flexible, part-time or job share basis and hoped
employers would adopt a “happy to talk flexible working” strapline to include in job adverts.
40 “Using the strapline would encourage employers to consider job design, signal their willingness to discuss
outputs not hours, and give more employees the confidence to ask for a pattern of work that suits them,” she said.

Many opt for a part-time because they need to fit their careers with something else in life.

b) Describe Jaya Patel’s working experience as a part-time worker?
She considers that working part-time made it extremely difficult to get promoted. When she
decided to work fewer hours due to the birth of her first child, it was really difficult.
Despite accepting that she worked fewer hours at the office, the company made her promise
she would also work from home and this happened almost every night. When she was offered a
promotion, she would have to accept working more hours during the night (4 nights a week) and
then she decided to change her career.

c) Why is the use of straplines advisable?
Using the strapline would encourage employers to consider job design, signal their willingness
to discuss outputs not hours, and give more employees the confidence to ask for a pattern of
work that suits them.

Sorry, kids. No high school diplomas need apply
You need a BA to file papers. Is a master’s in burger-flipping next?
Last September, I wrote a lengthy cover story asking whether a college diploma is still worth it. In some
sense, it obviously is — there’s a substantial wage premium for college graduates. But in other ways, it’s very much
an open question. For starters, the marginal kids who we are now adding to college classes, may not get the
5 benefit of the degree: they’re more likely to drop out, and less likely to have the complementary assets, like
connections and social capital, that help maximize the value of your BA.
More worrying is the way in which a BA is now becoming a minimum
requirement for jobs that simply don’t require any of the skills you learn in
college: receptionist, file clerk, secretary. The New York Times has a lengthy
10 article exploring this phenomenon through the lens of a law firm which requires
everyone, even the lowliest clerical worker, to have a college degree:

This prerequisite applies to everyone, including the receptionist,
paralegals, administrative assistants and file clerks. Even the office “runner”
— the in-house courier who, for $10 an hour, ferries documents back and
15 forth between the courthouse and the office — went to a four-year school.
“College graduates are just more career-oriented,” said Adam Slipakoff,

the firm’s managing partner. “Going to college means they are making a
real commitment to their futures. They’re not just looking for a pay check.”
Economists have referred to this phenomenon as “degree inflation,” and it has been steadily infiltrating
20 America’s job market. Across industries and geographic areas, many other jobs that didn’t use to require a diploma
— positions like dental hygienists, cargo agents, clerks and claims adjusters — are increasingly requiring one,
according to Burning Glass, a company that analyzes job ads from more than 20,000 online sources, including
major job boards and small- to midsize-employer sites.
This up-credentialing is pushing the less educated even further down the food chain, and it helps explain
25 why the unemployment rate for workers with no more than a high school diploma is more than twice that for
workers with a bachelor’s degree: 8.1 percent versus 3.7 percent.

I read this and think of someone like Helen Gurley Brown, who started as a secretary, worked her way up to
copywriter, earned the title of highest paid woman in advertising, married a movie producer, wrote a bestselling
book, and became the editor of Cosmopolitan. Would such a career be possible nowadays? And if not, why not?
30 In my opinion it wouldn’t be possible. Several times in her career progression, someone in HR would have
said, “No, I’m sorry, assistant copywriter requires at least a bachelor’s and preferably three years of experience”,
and that would have been that. To be sure, in a small firm, she might have made it anyway. But her ability to move
around would have been hampered by that gap on her resumé.
But how would a BA actually have made her a better secretary, or a better copywriter? Speaking as a former
35 secretary, precisely none of the skills it requires are things that can only — or even best — be acquired in college.
And while I have never written ad copy, I find it hard to imagine that one’s ability to do so is honed by writing
term papers. Sure, it can teach you research skills and perhaps what educators call “critical thinking” (though I believe
that the evidence on this is somewhat mixed). But it’s hard to argue that a college education is really necessary
to file papers or write ad copy or be a salesman; somehow, people used to do all these things without one.
40 The economist Bryan Caplan argues that to a large extent, the BA is becoming what a high school diploma
became before it: a signal to employers that you are not stupid, lazy, or poor enough to drop out before you’ve
finished your education. That’s valuable for the employers, but it’s increasingly expensive for the students, without
necessarily preparing them to better do their work. And it’s far from clear that it’s worth removing people from
the workforce for four years in order to prepare them to do sales, or manage an office.

Part
3
45 But still, the kids keep pouring into school, at great expense, because of a sort of educational ratchet effect:
if lots of people have a college degree, it’s easier for employers to require one as a way to winnow down the
resumé pile – and the signalling effect of not having one is stronger.
There’s nothing wrong with giving kids more education. But I think there is something wrong when we set
up a system where Helen Gurley Brown, or her modern-day equivalent, gets stuck in the secretarial pool forever
because they’re missing a piece of paper.

Syria’s children: An open letter from UNICEF ambassadors and supporters
Eddie Izzard meets 10-year-old Sror. Sror’s family was forced to flee Syria two years ago as they were afraid
for their lives. The children now attend a UNICEF-supported school at Domiz refugee camp in Iraq.
As many UK children finish their first week back at school, UNICEF ambassadors and supporters — including
David Beckham, Ewan McGregor, Robbie Williams, Tom Hiddleston and Eddie Izzard — have called on the UK
5 public to remember the children of Syria.
“Like so many children around the world,

those in Syria should be looking forward to the
new school term. Instead too many are being
forced to flee their homes in search of safety as
10 the conflict deteriorates. More than four million
children are now in need of aid in what has

become the largest humanitarian operation in
history, with one million children now seeking
refuge in neighbouring countries — the
15 equivalent to all the children in Wales being
uprooted and left homeless.

“Despite the political attention on Syria, the
humanitarian response to this crisis and the
children caught up in it is at risk of being forgotten.
20 In Syria itself, almost one out of every five schools
has been damaged, destroyed or is being used as a shelter for displaced families. Across the region, children are
living in make-shift shelters and camps, where they are at increased risk of disease.
“UNICEF — the world’s leading children’s organisation — is working day and night for the children of Syria
to ensure they can be protected from harm and disease and can continue to learn. UNICEF is providing children
25 in Syria and refugee children in five neighbouring countries — Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt — with
safe drinking water, essential vaccines, education, and psychological support for trauma. But it is struggling to
reach all the children that need help.
“This is not their conflict, yet children bear the brunt of the suffering. We are calling on you to help, so that
a generation of Syrian children are not simply “lost”. You can donate to ensure that they receive vaccines to keep
30 disease at bay, continue learning and receive the psychological support they need to help them come to terms
with the horrors they have witnessed.

“The children caught up in this conflict are innocent victims who have had the misfortune of growing up in
the wrong place at the wrong time. We can help provide them with some sense of hope in the most impossible
of circumstances. As the UK’s children go back to school, we urge you to remember Syria’s children and do
35 something — however small — to help mend their shattered childhoods.”

The Senate advanced legislation banning workplace
discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender
identity — marks a victory for gay rights supporters
despite the bill’s dim House prospects. The measure,
5 known as the Employment Non-Discrimination Act,
cleared a key test vote on Monday evening, 61 to 30.

A “patchwork of state laws excludes tens of millions
of Americans from basic protection against discrimination.
It is simply not good enough,” Senate Majority Leader
10 Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said.
“As long as hardworking, qualified Americans can

be denied job opportunities, fired or harassed because
of their sexual orientation or gender identity, all workers
are at risk.”
15 Still, the procedural vote to move to floor debate was not without some drama. The vote was held open for
well over half an hour as Republican Sens. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania and Rob
Portman of Ohio — all undecided before the vote — huddled in the cloakroom off the Senate floor as they were
lobbied by the bill’s backers.
Seven Senate Republicans voted in favor of advancing the legislation: Ayotte, Portman, Toomey, Heller, Collins,
20 Orrin Hatch of Utah and Mark Kirk of Illinois.
Ayotte said she got an agreement that she and Portman would get a vote to “strengthen” the exemption
for religious groups. Toomey, in a statement following the vote, also said the bill’s provisions pertaining to religious
groups “should be improved.”
The Senate last considered a version of ENDA in 1996. If the bill ultimately passes the Senate, it would mark
25 the most significant victory for gay rights advocates on Capitol Hill since Congress voted in 2010 to repeal the
“don’t ask, don’t tell” ban on gays and lesbians serving openly in the military. Explaining his decision to support
the bill, Heller said it’s “the right thing to do. This legislation raises the federal standards to match what we have
come to expect in Nevada, which is that discrimination must not be tolerated under any circumstance,” Heller
said.
30 Backers of the bill spent the past week counting votes to ensure they could win the support of at least 60
senators. Before Heller’s announcement, all 55 Senate Democrats said they would back the bill. The legislation
has two Republican co-sponsors — Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Mark Kirk of Illinois — and GOP Sens. Lisa
Murkowski of Alaska and Orrin Hatch of Utah supported the bill when it passed the Senate Health, Education,
Labor and Pensions Committee in July.
35 Despite its likely passage in the Senate in the coming days, senior Republican aides in the House said the
bill is unlikely to come up in their chamber – adding that they believe existing law provides these protections.
Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) indicated through a spokesman Monday that he would oppose the bill. “The
speaker believes this legislation will increase frivolous litigation and cost American jobs, especially small-business
jobs,” said Boehner spokesman Michael Steel.
40 A spokesman for House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called those comments “deeply disappointing”
and said “all options will be on the table” for Democrats to push through the legislation in the Republican-controlled
chamber. A House version of ENDA has 193 co-sponsors, including Republicans Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania,
Chris Gibson and Richard Hanna of New York, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida and Jon Runyan of New Jersey.

ENDA would expand protections against discrimination that already exist on the basis of race, religion, gender,
45 national origin, age and disability to LGBT individuals. President Barack Obama penned a blog item for The
Huffington Post urging Congress to pass ENDA, saying it “ought to be the law of the land.”
“Right now, in 2013, in many states a person can be fired simply for being lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender,”
Obama wrote. “It’s offensive. It’s wrong. And it needs to stop, because in the United States of America, who you
are and who you love should never be a fireable offense.”

Do you think that advertising can influence people’s actions? In what way?
2
Read the text carefully.
Children and advertising
The ASA (Advertising Standards Authority) regulates UK ads
to ensure they are truthful and socially responsible. A crucial part
of that process is putting the protection of children at the heart
of our work.
5 There is no escaping the fact that we live in a commercial
world. This brings with it the potential risk of children viewing
harmful or inappropriate material. However, while not everyone
will agree, it is generally accepted that children are legitimate
consumers who have the right to see and hear what advertisers
10 have to say.
Our role, therefore, is to make sure that the ads targeted at

or likely to be seen by them are appropriate and do not cause
harm.
The advertising rules surrounding children are deliberately
15 strict. This is because children are generally more credulous and
lack the experience of adults to engage, critically assess and cope

with commercial images and messages.
The ASA will not hesitate to ban any ad that could result in
a child’s physical, mental or moral harm. Fortunately, the majority
20 of advertisers are committed to preparing ads in a socially
responsible way and working with us to get their ads right.

This does not mean, however, we can ignore the reasonable concerns from various sections of society,
including Government, health groups, family organisations and parents about various aspects of advertising and
its potential impact on children.
25 Over the years the rules designed to protect children have been significantly tightened in response to societal
concerns and evidence, for instance about unhealthy diets and underage drinking. Most recently, political concerns
have been expressed at the highest level about the commercialisation and sexualisation of childhood and the
role that advertising may play in that.
The ASA has actively responded to this debate. We’re taking a tighter line when considering complaints
30 about “sexualised imagery” in outdoor advertising where children are likely to see it; have created a dedicated
parents page on our website as well as a leaflet guide on the rules and how to complain, and have teamed up
with other media regulators to launch ParentPort — a website that provides straightforward information on what
parents can do if they feel they have seen or heard something inappropriate for their children in the media.

Read the following text describing a teenager’s opinion on consumerism.
Is consumerism contagious?
By Michelle P.
Every day we are surrounded by consumerism. It seems
as though everywhere we look there is an advertisement.
Outside, billboards, and store windows flaunt the latest
5 iPOD, the most deluxe phone, and the coolest new drink.
Society has made it so that everywhere we turn we are the

targets of endless marketing and promotion. Our world
has become a vortex of excessive buying and materialism.
It is easy to get swept up in all the consumerism that
10 surrounds us, but how does this affect our economy and
our world? It seems that the entire world has been bitten
by the spending bug, and the epidemic is spreading faster and farther then we can stop it. Unless we keep
materialism under control, there is no telling how long it will be before our spending habits spiral out of control.
Superfluous daily spending has become customary in our society. It is typical for the average person to
15 purchase a four-dollar cup of coffee, or a ten-dollar sandwich. This behavior is ok when it is practiced in moderation
as an indulgence, but when this behavior is repeated every day, the spending begins to be a problem. Many
people purchase a coffee before work, a sandwich and drink for lunch, a snack later on, and that afternoon, coffee
just to “keep them going”. This can add up to 25 dollars a day on food alone. When folks begin to spend extra
money on unneeded luxuries such as “iced non-fat mocha caramel lattés” and “grilled vegetable and tofu panini
20 sandwiches”, expenses add up fast. People have begun to spend over fifty dollars a week on coffee alone. This,
never mind the ridiculous amount of time they spend waiting in the drive through line, is absolutely crazy.
In the end, what have you gained? You have spent a reasonable amount of money to ingest the finest food
and drink; yet all you have really done is pay the companies that make these items “necessities”, and brainwash
you into believing that four dollars is a reasonable price to pay for a beverage. By buying into these fads, we as
25 consumers are only escalating this spending to another level. We the consumer have the power to dictate the
level of consumerism in our society. After all, is it not us who goes out to empty our pockets for the latest iPOD,
video game console, or G.P.S system? Don’t we then possess the power to eliminate the control that consumerism
has on our society? Unfortunately, many have failed to realize the trance that we are in.
Not only has consumerism made our wallets thinner, but it is also making our world impersonal. As more and more
30 money is being poured into the electronics field, people are being replaced by machines. At the grocery store, it is now
possible to be checked out by an automated register, and get your money from automatic tellers. Everyone is communicating
online or in text messages, once again cutting human interaction out of the picture. As more emphasis is being put
on gadgets and fads while less is put on people, our planet is quickly becoming a cold and materialistic place.
Consumerism is a big problem in our society today. Although the blame cannot be solely placed, we the
35 consumers have the power to stop it. Our need for the best is creating a world where items are overpriced, luxuries
are perceived as necessities, and automatons are quickly replacing people. We must change our perception of
the words “essential” and “important” if we are to fix this problem. We have the power to resolve the challenge
of materialism in our society; the only question remaining is will we succeed before it is too late?

Reef reproduction | Scientific shortfall | Reef restoration
Can we restore the world’s coral reefs?

Whether we are blowing them up with dynamite, dropping
anchors on them or warming up the oceans they live in, mankind
is leading a sustained attack on the world’s coral reefs.
Coral coverage on the Great Barrier Reef has declined by as
5 much as 50% in the last three decades, while reefs in the Caribbean
have seen reported losses of 80%.

However, experts claim advances in science could enable
them to not only restore these beleaguered ecosystems, but also
improve their resilience to disease.
10 “I believe we may have to moderate our predictions that coral
reefs will not be here in 50 years,” says Professor Eugene Rosenberg,
a coral microbiologist at Tel Aviv University, Israel. “In fact, I’m one
of the few people who are optimistic about the future.”
Professor Rosenberg has reason to be sanguine having been credited with discovering a cure for White
15 Plague, a disease that has devastated reefs from the Red Sea to Florida Keys. “Bacterial disease in coral is a major
problem and the changing environment — an increase in temperatures, an increase in pollution and an increase
in algae — leads to a greater frequency and severity of bacterial infections in corals,” he says. “White Plague is a
prominent disease and we proved that a particular bacterium was the cause of it.”
Having identified the bacterium, Professor Rosenberg gathered natural viruses from the sea and introduced
20 them to the diseased coral. “We found phages (viruses) that could attack and kill this disease,” he says. “In the
most recent study, we found that we could protect against inception and prevent the spread and severity of the
disease. This is a natural phenomenon; we are just helping push the balance in favour of the phage.”
a) Scientific shortfall
While Professor Rosenberg’s work offers hope for reefs, he claims not enough scientific research is being
25 done on coral disease. “There are a lot of people working on coral reefs, but in terms of trying to prevent or cure
coral reef disease there is almost nothing,” says the 78-year-old scientist, who recently retired.
However, he believes reefs could survive without human intervention and plays down the dangers posed
by climate change. “People say global warming is happening faster than before and that coral can’t adapt, but
microbes — and there are thousands of them associated with each coral — can change more rapidly than we
30 think,” he says.
Field researchers are not so confident. “We are already seeing the effects [of climate change] and we are
seeing the effects more frequently,” explains Tom Moore, a coral restoration coordinator at the National Oceanic
and Atmosphere Administration (Noaa) in Washington DC, US. “Corals are very sensitive to water temperatures
and live in a very narrow temperature range.”
35 When the water exceeds 30oC, coral expels the algae living within it — a process known as bleaching —
which turns the coral white and makes it more susceptible to disease. Climate change is also attributed with
acidifying the ocean, which prevents coral from developing. “Corals grow by taking calcium carbonate out of the
water and as the oceans become more acidic that process cannot occur,” Mr Moore says. “If the oceans become
too acidic, we could see coral dissolving.”
40 b) Reef restoration

However, anthropogenic factors such as pollution, overfishing and fertiliser run-off pose a more immediate
threat to coral. These impacts vary from region to region; increased shipping is thought to be degrading Australia’s
Great Barrier Reef, while dynamite fishing and poor sewage management has damaged reefs in Southeast Asia.
In India, China and the USA, one of the biggest problems is fertiliser running off farmland and into the ocean
45 where it accelerates the growth of algae that suffocate coral.
Dr Petersen, president of Secore, a German-based organisation that conducts research into coral reef
reproduction, organises workshops around the world to educate communities about their coral reefs, which are
a breeding ground for fish, support tourism and offer coastal protection from storms — ecosystem “services”
worth an estimated $375bn per year to the global economy. While Secore acknowledges prevention is better
50 than cure, it is trialling reef restoration projects in Mexico, the Pacific island of Guam, and Curacao in the Caribbean.
c) Reef reproduction

Typically, spawning occurs just once a year and takes place at night on a full moon. Once released, gametes
float to the surface to be fertilised and if successful they will sink down to the sea bed and grow into coral.
However, weather systems and human activity — such as fishing or shipping — can disrupt this process, so
55 researchers like Dr Petersen collect gametes and take them back to the safety of the lab. “We put sperm and eggs
from different colonies together to increase the genetic diversity — this will make them less prone to disease,”
he says. “After they have fertilised and attached themselves to a substrate, we put them in nurseries out at sea.”
The coral is left to grow in the nursery before being transferred to the reef — a process that can take up to a year.
The Noaa and Secore — which is currently featured in a coral reef exhibition at London’s Horniman Museum
60 — are amongst a handful of organisations to have completed successful trials of this technique. “We have moved
past the experimentation phase,” says Mr Moore. “However, what we don’t have is the money to do this work on
a meaningful scale — the large investments we need to stem the tide just aren’t there yet.”

a) What has been happening to the Great Barrier Reef?
The Great Barrier Reef coral has been disappearing at an alarming rate, namely 50% in the
past 30 years.
b) Is Professor Eugene Rosenberg optimistic about the future of Coral Reefs? Why?
Professor Eugene Rosenberg’s opinion is that the destruction of coral reefs might be
a good thing, because the coral can restore itself and develop its resistance to disease.

c) Describe the Professor’s breakthrough.
He discovered a cure for a bacterium that was devastating coral reefs from the Red Sea

Sir David Attenborough warns against large families (Suggested answer)
Sir David Attenborough has said that he is not optimistic

about the future and that people should be persuaded
against having large families.
The broadcaster and naturalist, who earlier described
5 humans as “a plague on Earth”, also said he believed humans
have stopped evolving physically and genetically because

of birth control and abortion, but that cultural evolution is
proceeding “with extraordinary swiftness”.
“We stopped natural selection as soon as we started
10 being able to rear 90-95% of our babies that are born. We
are the only species to have put a halt to natural selection,

of its own free will, as it were,” he tells Radio Times.
“Stopping natural selection is not as important, or depressing, as it might sound — because our evolution
is now cultural … We can inherit knowledge of computers or television, electronics, aeroplanes and so on.”
15 Attenborough said he was not optimistic about the future and “things are going to get worse. I don’t think
we are going to become extinct. We’re very clever and extremely resourceful — and we will find ways of preserving
ourselves, of that I’m sure. But whether our lives will be as rich as they are now is another question.
“We may reduce in numbers; that would actually be a help, though the chances of it happening within the
next century is very small. I should think it’s impossible, in fact.”
20 The broadcaster, who is a patron of the charity Population Matters, which promotes family planning and
campaigns for sustainable consumption, also appeared to express qualified support for the one-child policy in
China.
He said: “It’s the degree to which it has been enforced which is terrible, and there’s no question it’s produced
all kinds of personal tragedies. There’s no question about that. On the other hand, the Chinese themselves
25 recognise that had they not done so there would be several million more mouths in the world today than there
are now.”
He added: “If you were able to persuade people that it is irresponsible to have large families in this day and
age, and if material wealth and material conditions are such that people value their materialistic life and don’t
suffer as a consequence, then that’s all to the good. But I’m not particularly optimistic about the future. I think
30 we’re lucky to be living when we are, because things are going to get worse.”
He also told the magazine: “I’m luckier than my grandfather, who didn’t move more than five miles from the
village in which he was born. I have all kinds of pleasures and luxuries that I appreciate and I’m very, very fortunate.
I think that applies to the majority of people – in this country, at any rate. But I think that in another 100 years
people will look back at a world that was less crowded, full of natural wonders, and healthier.”

Look closely at the lyrics of the song Wake me up by Avicii.
Wake me up
Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
I can’t tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start
They tell me I’m too young to understand
They say I’m caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don’t open up my eyes
Well that’s fine by me

So wake me up when it’s all over
When I’m wiser and I’m older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn’t know I was lost
I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
Hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don’t have any plans
Wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life’s a game made for everyone
And love is the prize
[2x]
So wake me up when it’s all over
When I’m wiser and I’m older

Look at the ad and then read the following text.
Campaign shows how proportions would look in real life.

What could be more glamorous than a fashion sketch showing a lithe model swanning about in the latest
couture? But just like Barbie — whose proportions are so unrealistic that she couldn’t remain upright as a flesh-
and-blood woman — the charming illustrations used by designers to concoct their flights of fancy are hardly
maps for a healthy body. To this end, Star Models, a Brazil-based agency, has released a shocking new ad campaign
5 that uses Photoshop to carve out what the paper mannequins would actually look like off the page. Turns out,
it’s terrifying: those mile-long legs and limber arms become skeletal clavicles and emaciated appendages. The
campaign — whose slogan is “You Are Not A Sketch” — is hoping to take aim at thinspiration blogs and “pro-ana”
websites to show girls that fashion industry standards translate into real-life scary.
