 Rock climbing is one of the UK’s fastest grow sports. Nowadays, however, it’s
not necessary to head to the fields when you decide to get it up as a hobby. Indoor
climbing is a great way to discover whether or not you have a head for heights. Whatever
you may have been told, size and strength aren’t that importance in climbing. Climbers
just need to be fit, with a good sense of balance. Man-made climbing walls have
footholds and handholds at different shapes and sizes. Beginners can choose walls with
holds near to each other. More difficult routes up the wall will have small handholds
quite close apart.

Activity 2: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable from A to G on the
list and write it in each gap from 1 to 5.
STAYING HEALTHY IN SPACE
The range of foods available to astronauts is vast, and great care is taken to ensure
that it looks and smells appetising. Meals are organised to provide an average of 3,000
calories a day, which seems high for living in an enclosed environment in which there is
no gravity. But astronauts can expend a great deal of energy in doing the simplest things.
For example, if they try to turn a handle, they turn themselves as well. If they bend down
to do up a shoelace, (1)......................... Finding unusual ways of doing such ordinary
things uses up the excess calories. The space diet is balanced rather differently from a
terrestrial diet. This is to try and compensate for changes that take place in the body
during space flight. Bodily changes begin as soon as astronauts go into space (2)
.......................... Among the most serious is calcium loss, which causes a marked
reduction in the mass and strength of bones. There is also a progressive loss of red blood
cells. What causes these effects is not known, (3) .......................... The heart muscles,

with no gravity to battle against, start to waste away. The leg muscles start to waste away
too, since walking, as done on Earth, (4) .......................... Exercise also helps to reduce
muscle wastage (5) .......................... No one yet knows the limit of human endurance in
space. If astronauts can withstand two years or more of continuous weightlessness, the
mankind’s dream of visiting other planets could become reality in the early decades of
the next century.

Activity 3: Questions 1 - 4: Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or
D next to the right answer to each of the following questions.
EDUCATING PSYCHE
Educating Psyche by Bernie Neville is a book which looks at radical new
approaches to learning, describing the effects of emotion, imagination and the
unconscious on learning. One theory discussed in the book is that proposed by George
Lozanov, which focuses on the power of suggestion.
Lozanov’s instructional technique is based on the evidence that the connections
made in the brain through unconscious processing (which he calls non-specific mental
reactivity) are more durable than those made through conscious processing. Besides the
laboratory evidence for this, we know from our experience that we often remember what
we have perceived peripherally, long after we have forgotten what we set out to learn. If
we think of a book we studied months or years ago, we will find it easier to recall
peripheral details- the colour, the binding, the typeface, the table at the library where we
sat while studying it- than the content on which we were concentrating. If we think of a
lecture we listened to with great concentration, we will recall the lecture’s appearance
and mannerisms, our place in the auditorium, the failure of the air-conditioning, much
more easily than the ideas we went to learn. Even if these peripheral details are a bit
elusive, they come back readily in hypnosis or when we relive the event imaginatively, as
in psychodrama. The details of the content of the lecture, on the other hand, seem to have
gone forever.
This phenomenon can be partly attributed to the common counterproductive
approach to study (making extreme efforts to memorise, tensing muscles, including
fatigue), but it also simply reflects the way the brain functions. Lozanov therefore made
indirect instruction (suggestion) central to his teaching system. In suggestopedia, as he
called his method, consciousness is shifted away from the curriculum to focus on
something peripheral. The curriculum then becomes peripheral and is dealt with by the
reserve capacity of the brain.
The suggestopedic approach to foreign language learning provides a good
illustration. In its most recent variant (1980), it consists of the reading of vocabulary and
text while the class is listening to music. The first session is in two parts. In the first part,
the music is classical (Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms) and the teacher reads the text slowly
and solemnly, with intention to the dynamics of the music. The students follow the text in
their books. This is followed by several minutes of silence. In the second part, they listen
to baroque music (Bach, Corelli, Handel) while the teacher reads the text in a normal
5
speaking voice. During this time they have their books closed. During the whole of this
session, their attention is passive; they listen to the music but make no attempt to learn
the material.
Beforehand, the students have been carefully prepared for the language learning
experience. Through meeting with the staff and satisfied students they develop the
expectation that learning will be easy and pleasant and that they will successfully learn
several hundred words of the foreign language during the class. In a preliminary talk, the
teacher introduces them to the material to be covered, but does not ‘teach’ it. Likewise,
the students are instructed not to try to learn it during this introduction.
Some hours after the two-part session, there is a follow-up class at which the
students are stimulated to recall the material presented. Once again the approach is
indirect. The students do not focus their attention on trying to remember the vocabulary,
but focus on using the language to communicate (e.g. through games or improvised
dramatisations). Such methods are not unusual in language teaching. What is distinctive
in the suggestopedic method is that they are devoted entirely to assisting recall. The
‘learning’ of the material is assumed to be automatic and effortless, accomplished while
listening to music. The teacher’s task is to assist the students to apply what they have
learned paraconsciuosly, and in doing so to make it easily accessible to consciousness.
Another difference from conventional teaching is the evidence that students can regularly
learn 1000 new words of a foreign language during a suggestopedic session, as well as
grammar and idiom.
Lozanov experimented with teaching by direct suggestion during sleep, hypnosis
and trance states, but found such procedures unnecessary. Hypnosis, yoga, Silva mind-
control, religious ceremonies and faith healing are all associated with successful
suggestion, but none of their techniques seem to be essential to it. Such rituals may be
seen as placebos. Lozanov acknowledges that the ritual surrounding suggestion in his
own system is also a placebo, but maintains that without such a placebo people are
unable or afraid to tap the reserve capacity of their brains. Like any placebo, it must be
dispensed with authority to be effective. Just as a doctor calls on the full power of
autocratic suggestion by insisting that the patient take precisely this while capsule
precisely three times a day before meals, Lozanov is categoric in insisting that the
suggestopedic session be conducted exactly in the manner designed, by trained and
accredited suggestopedic teachers.
While suggestopedic has gained some notoriety through success in the teaching of
modern languages, few teachers are able to emulate the spectacular results of Lozanov
and his associates. We can, perhaps, attribute mediocre results to an inadequate placebo
effect. The students have not developed the appropriate mind set. They are often not
motivated to learn through this method. They do not have enough ‘faith’. They do not see
it as ‘real teaching’, especially as it does not seem to involve the ‘work’ they have
learned to believe is essential to learning.

Activity 4: Questions 1 - 9: Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or
D next to the right answer to each of the following questions.
For many students, the college years are a trying time. While academic challenges
are an expected part of higher learning, students can face personal challenges as well.
One common problem is that of isolation. ■ A) To feel isolated is to feel absolutely
alone, with no feelings of connection to others. Of course, in a literal sense, students are
not alone, as they are surrounded by other students all the time. ■ B) It is very easy to
feel lost among a large group of many different sorts of people. This can intensify the
normal barriers between people, making them seem much larger and more complicated.
For students that are naturally introverted or overly attached to their families, it can be a
very complicated problem. ■ C) If a student does not take part in any student activities,
spends most or all of his or her time alone, and has no meaningful relationships with
other students, that student can be considered isolated. Of course, there are certain
students who may prefer this sort of condition. ■ D) Some may feel more comfortable
having few or no relationships at school so that they can focus more intensively on their
studies. However, studies show that the vast majority of students who find themselves
isolated do not enjoy this condition.
Freshmen normally experience the most extreme feelings of isolation. They are
suddenly in an unfamiliar environment away from relatives and friends, where everyone
seems to be a stranger. Naturally shy students or those with strong family ties may not

7
only feel homesick, but also threatened. There is also the added pressure to perform well
academically. A student may feel judged by his or her peers as well as professors. He or
she may feel like everyone is watching and evaluating, ready to criticize or accuse. All of
this may cause a student to emotionally and socially withdraw as a defense mechanism.
Instead of thinking of other students as potential friends, they imagine them as potential
enemies. Those freshmen who deeply miss their friends from before college may cling to
those old friendships. This makes establishing new friendships all the more difficult and
the feelings of isolation more pronounced.
To make matters worse, isolation can lead to other emotional problems, primarily
depression. Loneliness and other negative feelings are only deepened and reinforced by
the fact that there is no one with whom the isolated student can share his or her feelings.
Depression can drain a student’s energy and initiative, resulting in poor academic
performance. In addition, it can damage what relationships the student may already have.
Finally, it can also lead to more serious problems such as alcoholism and, in some cases,
suicidal feelings.
Universities can take various initiatives to prevent students from becoming
isolated. One of the most effective and common methods is to require students to share a
dormitory room. ■ A) Having a roommate makes it very difficult to be isolated since a
student must interact with this person regardless of how shy he or she may be. Although a
determined student can still manage to be isolated, even in such a situation, few students
have both the will and the desire to do so. ■ B) Another method is to encourage a student
to join in some sort of activity immediately after entering university. This can include
joining a club, a student association, or a study group. ■ C) There are also student groups
designed to ease freshmen into university life, giving them opportunities to meet other
new students through various social activities, such as lunches or day trips. ■ D) Finally,
a university can provide professional counseling for students with personal problems.
However a university attempts to help, the fact remains that the cause of isolation
among students is personal. Unlike health and academic problems, there are few
resources to conclusively treat the problem of isolation, since much of the problem lies in
the individual student’s personality. This does not mean that, in the end, the student is the
one who has the ultimate power to improve the situation.
1. The expression “more pronounced” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
A. cleaner. B. louder. C. more talked about. D. more intense.
2. The phrase “defense mechanism” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to
A. tool for distraction. B. reason for withdrawing.
C. method of protection. D. device for resolving disputes.
3. In paragraph 1, the author explains the concept of isolation by
A. giving examples of how schools can help isolated students.
B. characterizing the type of students who cause isolation in their classmates.
C. providing a definition of the concept and examples of those prone to it.
D. discussing factors affecting the barriers between students.
4. According to the passage, what types of students most typically experience isolation?
A. Students who prefer to focus on their studies rather than socialize.
B. Students who are surrounded by large numbers of other students.
C. Students who view others as potential enemies or accusers.
D. Freshmen students who are shy or overly attached to their families.
5. Which of the following sentences best expresses the essential information of the first
sentence in paragraph 4?

8
 A. There are several ways in which universities can initiate feelings of isolation in the
students.
B. There are several strategies that universities can implement in order to reduce the
chances of students becoming isolated.
C. Isolated students can be prevented from entering certain universities.
D. Students can start the process of avoiding isolation by suggesting strategies to their
university.
6. Look at the four squares [■] in paragraph 1 and circle the letter A, B, C or D where the
following sentence should be added to the passage: “However, this can actually
aggravate one’s sense of isolation.”
A. Line 3 B. Line 5 C. Line 9 D. Line 12
7. The word “higher” in paragraph 1 could best be replaced by which of the following?
A. taller B. more expensive C. longer D. advanced
8. What does the third paragraph mainly discuss?
A. The reasons why students should make an effort to meet new people.
B. Things the students can do to free themselves from isolation.
C. The negative effects of isolation on the student.
D. Ways in which the university contribute to isolation.
9. Look at the four squares [■] in paragraph 4 and circle the letter A, B, C or D where the
following sentence should be added to the passage: “These organizations give the
students a sense of belonging and self-worth.”
A. Line 3 (paragraph 4) B. Line 6 (paragraph 4)
C. Line 8 (paragraph 4) D. Line 10 (paragraph 4)

IV. WRITING (6,0 points)
Activity 1: Read the following extract and use your own words to summarize it (in about
80 words). You MUST NOT copy or re-write the original.
Everyone should try to stay physically fit through exercise. Fitness means being
able to do every activities without feeling pain or getting too tired. There are three main
parts of physical fitness: heart and lung fitness, muscular fitness, and flexibility.
Every time you move your body, you use oxygen. Good exercises for the heart
and lungs include walking, jogging, or in-line skating. In-line skating first became
popular in the 1990s. You should do one of these activities for 30 minutes, three to five
times a week.
You need strong, healthy muscles for walking up stairs, lifting groceries, and so
on. Build strong muscles by lifting weights at least twice a week for 15 minutes.

9
 Flexibility means being able to move and tretch your body easily in different
ways. Activities like yoga and tai chi are great for improving flexibility. Another way is
to do stretching exercises three or four times a week.
