MODERN SCIENCE

way. (6) the scientific method is now four or five hundred years old, the ancient Greeks, for

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the following questions from 30 to 36.
In 1902, a volcano in the Caribbean island of Martinique blew up. A French naval officer was on
the scene, Lt. George Hébert managed to coordinate the rescue of over 700 people, both indigenous and
European. He noticed, as he did so, how people moved, some well, some badly, around the obstacles in
their path, and how this affected their chances of survival. Hébert had travelled widely and was well
aware of skills many indigenous people exhibited in being able to traverse the natural environment.
From these experiences, Hébert developed a training discipline which he called ‘the natural method’ in
which climbing, jumping and running techniques were used to negotiate obstacles. His method was
adopted by the French military and became the basis for all their training. In time, it became known as
parcours du combattant – the path of the warrior.
Raymond Belle was a practitioner of parcour in Vietnam in the 1950s. He had great athletic
ability, and the skills and agility he had learnt through parcour earned him a reputation as an agile and
elite soldier. In later life, he returned to France and passed on his skills to his son, David, who combined
what he had learnt from his father with his own knowledge of martial arts and gymnastics, and in time,
the sport of parkour was born.
Parkour involves a range of ‘moves’, although none are official. They involve vaulting, jumping
and landing accurately on small and narrow features, catching ledges, traversing high wall and landing
with a rolling impact to absorb impacts.
Belle formed a group of traceurs called the Yamikasi, meaning ‘strong man, strong spirit’, that
included his friend, Sebastian Foucan. In time, the two of them started to follow different paths. Belle
concentrated on the art of getting from place to place in the most efficient way possible, while Foucan
developed his own style which involved more self-expression. This he termed free running.
From the late 1990s, the art and sport of parkour spread worldwide. Both Belle and Foucan gave
interviews and appeared on television. In 2003, filmmaker Mike Christie made the film Jump London,
and urban freerunning, or freeflow, began to dominate the London scene. But it was the arrival of
YouTube in 2005 that really brought freerunning to a global audience. People around the world began to
post their videos online, making freerunning a mainstream sport, and in 2007, the first major
freerunning and parkour competition was held in Vienna.
 Since parkour values freedom, there are few facilities dedicated to the practice. Traceurs use both
rural and urban areas, typically parks, offices and abandoned buildings. Traceurs generally respect the
environment they practice in, and since part of their philosophy is ‘leave no trace’, there have been few
concerns over damage to property. However, law enforcement and fire and rescue teams argue that
freerunners are risking their lives needlessly, especially when they practice at height. However,
practitioners argue that injuries are rare, because they rely on their own hands and feet rather than things
out of their immediate control, such as ice and wheels, as is the case with skiing and race-driving.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the following questions from 44 to 48.
To some extent we know that the people we work, live or spend time with are not always being
honest with us. They can't always be having a good day, be excited about your success or be completely
happy for a colleague who's been promoted instead of them. But what about when deception isn't just
about mood, but is actually an important part when interacting with other people?
Generally speaking, deception is, understandably, viewed negatively - if someone has to resort to
lying, they're probably not very good at their job or not a very nice person. In the workplace, deceit can
be toxic in an environment that values trust and teamwork and can damage productivity as a result.
However, deception is absolutely necessary in many cases.
In some professions, people are expected to lie (take private investigators, for example).
Deception can also be strategic in companies, such as when a call centre instructs employees to pretend
that they're located in a different country due to customer biases. And keep in mind that even police
officers have to make use of deception to arrest criminals in many cases. Additionally, customer service
roles, and especially the kinds of emotional labor frequently carried out by women, also typically call for
workers to conceal their true feelings. Do you really want flight attendants to tell you that you should be
unnerved and should not remain calm when the plane is shaking, or psychiatrists to tell you that they do
not have any sympathy for you at all when listening to your mental problems?
Sometimes, lying is even seen as the more ethical option. A prime example of this is when doctors
lie to their patients about their health conditions, obviously not to raise false hopes but simply to cheer
them up during treatment. A harmless lie can also spare people from unnecessary hurt, and people who
tell it should be praised for their kindness and the good outcome that usually comes from not making a
potentially hurtful comment. The most fundamental thing in pro-social lying, or the kind of dishonesty
intended to help another person, is that it is not about gaining an unfair advantage or otherwise being
self-serving, but abut delivering little and harmless lies out of care or compassion.
Therefore, it's important to ask ourselves when it is and isn't appropriate to deliver the hard, honest
truth, and when it's best to step back and offer a more delicate response. More often than not, it's about
striking a balance between the two.

A. They don't always feel positive about everything.
B. They hate it when others are successful.
