For questions 61-73, read the following passage and do the tasks that follow. ‘THE KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY A century ago, the overwhelming majority of people in developed countries worked with their hands: on farms, in domestic service, in small craft shops and in factories. There was not even a word for people who made their living other than by manual work. These days, the fastest-growing group in the developed world are “knowledge workers" — people whose jobs require formal and advanced schooling ‘At present, this term is widely used to describe people with considerable theoretical knowledge and learning: doctors, lawyers, teachers, accountants, chemical engineers. But the most striking growth in the coming years will be in “knowledge technologists”: computer technicians, software designers, analysts in clinical labs, manufacturing technologists, and so on. These people are as much manual workers as they are knowledge workers; in fact, they usually spend far more time working with their hands than with their brains. But their manual work is based on a substantial amount of theoretical knowledge which can be acquired only through formal education. They are not, as a rule, much better paid than traditional skilled workers, but they see themselves as professionals, Just as unskilled manual workers in manufacturing were the dominant Page 4 of 12 pages social and politcal force in the twentieth century, knowledge technologists are likely to become the dominant social - and perhaps also politcal - force over the next decades. ‘Such workers have two main needs: formal education that enables them to enter knowledge work in the first Place, and continuing education throughout their working lives to keep their knowledge up to date. For the ‘old high-knowiedge professionals such as doctors, clerics and lawyers, formal education has been available for many centuries. But for knowledge technologists, only a few countries so far provide systematic and organised preparation. Over the next few decades, educational institutions to prepare knowledge technologists will grow rapidly in all developed and emerging countries, just as new institutions to meet new Fequirements have always appeared in the past. What is different this time is the need for the continuing education of already well-trained and highly knowiedgeable adults. Schooling traditionally stopped when work began. In the knowledge society it never stops. Continuing education of already highly educated adults will therefore become a big growth area in the ‘next society. But most of it wll be delivered in non-traditional ways, ranging from weekend seminars to online training programmes, and in any number of places, from a traditional university to the student's home. The information revolution, which is expected to have an enormous impact on education and on traditional schools and universities, will probably have an even greater effect on the continuing education of knowledge workers, allowing knowledge to spread near-instantly, and making it accessible to everyone. All this has implications for the role of women in the labour force. Although women have always worked, since time immemorial the jobs they have done have been different from men's. Knowledge work, on the other hand, is “unisex’, not because of feminist pressure, but because it can be done equally well by both sexes. Knowledge workers, whatever their sex, are professionals, applying the same knowledge, doing the ‘same work, governed by the same standards and judged by the same results. The knowledge society is the first human society where upward mobility is potentially unlimited. Knowledge differs from all other means of production in that it cannot be inherited or bequeathed from one generation to another. It has to be acquired anew by every individual, and everyone starts out with the same total ignorance. And nowadays it is assumed that everybody will be a "success" — an idea that would have Seemed ludicrous to earlier generations. Naturally, only a tiny number of people can reach outstanding levels of achievement, but a very large number of people assume they will reach adequate levels. ‘The upward mobility of the knowledge society, however, comes at a high price: the psychological pressures ‘and emotional traumas of the rat race. Schoolchildren in some countries may suffer sleep deprivation because they spend their evenings at a crammer to help them pass their exams. Otherwise they will not get into the prestige university of their choice, and thus into a good job. In many different parts of the world, ‘schools are becoming viciously competitive. That this has happened over such a short time — no more than 30 or 40 years ~ indicates how much the fear of failure has already permeated the knowledge society. Given this competitive struggle, a growing number of highly successful knowledge workers of both sexes — business managers, university teachers, museum directors, doctors — “plateaur in their 40s. They know they have achieved all they will achieve. If their work is all they have, they are in trouble. Knowledge workers therefore need to develop, preferably while they are still young, a non-competitive life and community of their ‘own, and some serious outside interest be it working as a volunteer in the community, playing in a local orchestra and taking an active part in a small town’s local government. This outside interest will give them the opportunity for personal contribution and achievement Questions 61-65: Choose the correct answer A, B, C or D.

For the past five months, my family has been enduring the misery that comes with the construction of a kitchen extension. When all the work is finished we will have a stylish modern space built with minimal environmental impact. The lightweight construction has highly-insulated walls and glazing which passes the eco-test; but i fails with the timber. {75 — ~ - - ] The top timber certificate comes from the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), which claims to ensure that the timber has been cut in a way that protects the environment and safeguards the conditions of workers, | Clicked on their website and searched for patio doors.

Another timber merchant from the list told me he had stopped selling FSC timber because no one would buy it, even though he fad priced it at the same level as regular timber, Builders did not recognise the types of wood in the yard, and architects had not specified it © The tiny impact on rainforests of my kitchen extension is being replicated millions of times over across the developed world. The government says it is taking a lead in insisting that public buildings use wood from sustainable sources, but research by the environment department has failed to find any evidence that the policy is being carried out. D The living room had posed fewer problems when, four years ago, we decided to redecorate it and Teplace the door that leads out into the side garden. It was easy to find wood in a shade which was in keeping with the rest of the house and the colour scheme we chose for the walls turned out to be a very wise choice, E In a significant step towards helping the department do this, the Royal Institute for British Architects has committed itself to taking forest conservation seriously. But, even so, the hoardings that clad building sites are often ignored in the architects’ and planners’ specifications and come from unsustainable forests. Local authorities are also major buyers of timber, but a survey last ‘week showed that only 27% of councils have a policy on sustainable wood.

H The only hope, say conservationists, lies with the purchasing power of the rich countries in the north. If we insist on timber that is sustainable harvested it will put pressure on the loggers to ply their trade with greater care. Western governments must act much more swiftly.

Hunger is a powerful thing, but how many times have you reached for @ quick snack, only to regret it ‘when it's lying heavily in your stomach? Just as your standards for food quality can slip when your stomach is empty, so you should avoid engaging in argument or doing battle with sales people when your mental batteries are running low. Conversely, if you're trying to be persuasive, strike when your target is running low on mental energy. Edward Burkley of Oklahoma State University in Stillwater studied the impact of cognitive exhaustion on the resistance levels of 78 students. The plan was to try to convince them to accept one month's summer holiday, instead of three. Half the students came to the study fresh. But the other haf first had to complete a self-control task in which they wrote down all thoughts that came to their head while suppressing any thoughts about the white bear. This task, Burkley argued, would use up some of their reverses of self-control. He found that the students who had performed the white bear task were less resistant to the idea of giving up two months of holiday. Page 7 of 12 pages B.. In this fast-paced world, we seldom have time for face-to-face meetings. Rosana Guadagno of the University of Alabama and Robert Cialdini of Arizona State University have been comparing the persuasive Power of online communication with face-to-face meetings. Ina study published in 2002, Guadagno and Cialdini had a group of students discuss the introduction of new exams. The group was split into same-sex couples. Unbeknown to the subjects, each pair included an accomplice of the experimenters whose role was to provide arguments in favour of the idea. Half the discussion took place in an online chatroom, the other half sat face-to-face. While overall men rated the proposals similarly whether they participated in the electronic or face-to-face Sessions, women in face-to-face sessions rated them more highly than those who only took part online. Guadagno and Cialdini suggest this is because groups of women tend to form communal bonds and reach agreement, Electronic communication disrupts the exchange of social cues women use to establish a ‘communal bond and is therefore less conducive to persuasion. ‘On the other hand, groups of men typically try to establish their competence and independence, which can ead to competitive encounters. When two men who have not met before debate a point, online interaction is about as persuasive as face-to-face, But if they have met and had a competitive exchange, subsequent face-to-face meetings are less productive, whereas online exchanges fare far better. So while online ‘communication can prevent women “connecting’, it can help men suppress competitive urges that hamper persuasion C. it was midnight when the knock came at the door.

Kurt later learnt that four other people on the street had also been taken in by the con. Maybe we shouldn't be S0 surprised when things like this happen. Persuasion, it turns out, may have as ‘much to do with how you say something as what you're saying. And the less time you're allowed to think about the content, the more the style of delivery matters. At least, those are the findings of two marketing professors who decided to tease style and substance apart John Sparks at the University of Dayton in Ohio and Charles Areni at the University of Sydney, Australia, asked 118 undergraduates to read a transcript ofa testimonial about a scanner. In one version, the speaker Used hesitations like “| mean” and “ummm": in the other, he used none. They also gave half the students enough time to read it thoroughly, while the others got just 20 seconds, to see how limiting @ person's Understanding of the substance would alter the persuasiveness of the style. The researchers found that in both version style was important. When hesitant language was used, people were less easily convinced that this was a scanner worth buying ~ even when it was a better scanner at a lower price. Style was especially important, the researchers found, when time was limited. “If you can't pay attention to what the speaker is saying,” Spark says, "you pay attention to how they say it D. Angering people may seem ike an odd way to go about persuading them, but according to Monique Mitchell Turner, @ communications professor at the University of Maryland, College Park, it is seriously underrated as a tool of persuasion Much study has gone into how emotions aid persuasion. The best known and most studied is fear. it serves well in campaigns that try to steer you clear of certain activities, ike smoking. But fear doesn't always work, says Tumer, and over time, people become more resistant to scare tactics. The same applies to guit it ean be effective (think of maternal guilt), but not once peaple clue into the fact that they're being manipulated, Worse, ithas to be carefully calibrated: too much anc people resist. “We don't want people telling us we're bad people,” says Turner. Anger Is different. For one thing, i's focused on someone else's misdeeds, not your own. Also, its a very ultitarian emotion, she says, usually in response to 2 perceived injustice. “Anger makes people fec! empowered,” Tumer says. There has been a long debate, she says, about whether anger can be Constructively harnessed. In studying groups that emipioy anger as a tactic - most notably animal rights ‘groups such as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, as well as environment organizations and even political campaigns ~ she has found that, given the right conditions, it can, First, people have to be convinced that the issue is relevant to them, that it affects them or their children or their community.

WRITING Part 1. Read the following extract and use your own words to summarise it. Your summary should be between 100 and 120 words long. Scientists have identified two ways in which species disappear. The first is thought ordinary or background” extinctions, where species that fail to adapt are siowly replaced by more adaptable life forms. The second is when large numbers of species go to the wall in relatively short periods of biological time. There have been five such extinctions, each provoked by cataclysmic evolutionary events caused by some geological eruption, climate shift, or space junk siamming into the earth. Scientists now believe that another mass extinction of species is currently under way — and this time human fingerprints are on the trigger. How are we doing it? Simply by demanding more and more space for ourselves. In our assault on the ecosystems around us we have used a number of tools, from spear and gun to bulldozer and chainsaw. Certain especially rich ecosystems have proved the most vulnerable. In Hawaii more than half of the native birds are now gone ~ some 50 species. Such carnage has taken place all across the island communities of the Pacific and Indian oceans. While many species were hunted to extinction, other simply succumbed to the “introduced predators” that humans brought with them: the cat, the dog, the pig, and the rat Today the tempo of extinction is picking up speed. Hunting is no longer the major culprit, although rare birds and animals continue to be butchered for their skin, feathers, and internal organs, or taken as cage pets. Today the main threat comes from the destruction of the habitat that wild plants, animals and insects need to survive. The draining and damming of wetland and river courses threatens the aquatic food chain and our ‘own seafood industry. Overfishing and the destruction of fragile coral reefs destroy ocean biodiversity. Deforestation is taking a staggering toll, particularly in the tropics where the most global biodiversity is at stake. The shrinking rainforest cover of the Congo and Amazon River basins and such places as Borneo and Madagascar have a wealth of species per hectare existing nowhere else. As those precious hectares are drowned or turned into arid pasture and cropland, such species disappear forever. Page 9 of 12 pages Part 2.
