Exercise 6
There are a myriad of lifestyle issues affecting the youth of today. Such is the (1) REAL
pressure heaped on many school-goers to achieve academic excellence by (2) DESPAIR
their parents that these _________ (1) expectations are causing children to (3) PUSH
become hopelessly depressed. Indeed, some, in their_________ (2) to escape (4) AMOUNT
and their sense of guilt at being unable reach the levels of success demanded (5) HARM
of them by their _________ (3) parents, either rebel in what is _________ (4) (6) VIRTUE
to a cry for help, or, worse still, engage in _________ (5). It is no coincidence (7) DRAMA
that suicide rates, expecially amongst young males, have been rising steadily (8) BUD
for some time now. These are tough times to be a teen. (9) PRIVATE
Then there are those who get hooked on the internet; the _________ (6) (10) ERR
world becomes their reality. For these teens, their social circle shrinks (11) SOCIAL
_________ (7) until, at last, their friendship sphere is limited solely to their (12) ROCKET
online _________ (8). Not alone do they commonly suffer from sleep
_________ (9) on account of their destructive addiction to game play and
net-surfing, their behaviour may become so _________ (10) and peculiar
over time as to be considered _________ (11) . And while they sit at their
computer screens hidden away in splendid isolation from the real world,
such is the lack of exercise they get that their calorie intake far exceeds what
is necessary for them to maintain a stable weight. In essence, due to their
sedentary lifestyle, their weight _________ (12) until such time as they
become morbidly obese.
Exercise 7
The standard of television programming produced in this country is in terminal
decline. The _________ (1) has become a meaningless term confined in its (1) SHED
_________ (2) to _________ (3) days when adult content felt the full force of (2) APPLY
censorship and was not allowed to appear on the box until after 9:00 p.m. (3) GO
Nowadays, however, it seems anything goes any time. And, truth told,
whatever anything is, it seldom 'goes' for much longer than a half hour or so at
any rate before it is interrupted by a commercial break. And don't even get me
started on those appalling _________ (4) most of the networks run right the way (4) INFORM
 through the night, one after another, for up to thirty minutes at a time. lt is truly
painful. Terrestrial television is now, as far as I am concerned, a laughing stock.
All the quality has been bought up by the satellite networks, with their big-
money weight behind them, but even here _________ (5) are slim. In protest at (5) PICK
the dire state of things, I have become a converted _________ (6). I look to the (6) NET
web now to find good content. There, I can find just enough _________ (7) of (7) RUN
quality programmes to prevent myself from falling into utter despair and pining
for the good old days of _________ (8). (8) YEAR
Exercise 8
In January 2001, the _________ (1) Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued (1) GOVERN
its latest report on climate change. Climate models worked out by giant (2) PRAISE
super-computers had become far more reliable since the previous report in (3) EQUIVOCATE
1995 and allowed them to _________ (2) the earlier projections for global (4)
warming. Their conclusions were that something very serious is happening CONCENTRATE
and that it cannot be a natural process. The 1990s was the hottest decade for (5) CATTLE
1,000 years and the Earth is warming faster than at any time in the last (6) COMPOSE
10,000 years. According to the report, human activities are _________ (3) to (7) LIVELY
blame for the temperature rise. The burning of fossil fuels releases carbon (8) UNANIMOUS
dioxide and, due to deforestation, there are fewer trees to absorb this gas (9) EMIT
and recycle it back into oxygen. Methane _________ (4) have also gone up (10) ACT
dramatically because of increases in rice culture and _________ (5), both of
which generate methane from _________ (6) vegetation. These greenhouses
gases trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere and cause the temperature to rise.
In the worst case, the resulting melting of ice-caps and glaciers would cause
sea levels to rise by up to 88 cm, endangering the homes and _________ (7)
of tens of millions of people who live in low-lying regions.
Unfortunately, there is far greater _________ (8) among the world’s
scientists over the issue than among politicians. As long ago as 1990, the
IPCC recommended a 60% reduction in carbon dioxide _________ (9), as the
basic level required to return the planet’s climate to a healthy level.
Governments globally failed to _________ (10) these proposals. Now that
the dangers have been reaffirmed by the latest report, it is high time that
governments took an active interest in exploring alternative, renewable
energy sources.
