5 However, the Palestinian system offers choices, and these must match your interests and abilities.
6 If you choose the right group of subjects, they’ll carry you towards the right career. Choose badly, and
7 you’ll become bored and do badly.
8 With careful thinking, that shouldn’t happen. If it did, you might leave school with weak
9 qualifications and a future in a ‘dead-end’ job. It would be a disaster! So start thinking now.
10 Some people may say you should become a doctor or an engineer because they are ‘good’ jobs. Don’t
11 listen. A job will only be good if it is right for you! And remember this: people are respected if they do
12 their work well – whatever their jobs.

Period 9 page 4 – Read the following passage then answer the questions below:
1 But let’s start with a world without choices. Think back 300 years. If you had all been born in 1700,
2 very few of you would have had any education. At 16, nearly all of you would have been hard at work
3 at home or on the land. You would probably have had very few choices: your lives would simply have
4 followed your parents’. What if you had been born in 1900 instead? Generally speaking, you would have
5 had more choices and chances by then. You would have been able to travel – though only by train: cars
6 were for the rich and planes were for the very brave. Several years of school would have given you more
7 possibilities – although you would probably have left at 13. There would have been more goods to buy
8 in the shops, but not a TV or a computer: these and many other things did not exist. Life would have
9 been limited in another way, too: there would have been far fewer career opportunities. Could you have
10 become a TV technician or a computer programmer or a shopping centre manager? No, because these
11 and thousands of other jobs had not yet been invented. And so back to today. Yes, it’s harder to choose
12 than ever before, but it’s wonderful that you have the chance. So think carefully and choose
13 responsibly. You only have one life: use it well.

1. How had things got better by 1900?

Period 1 page 47 – Read the following passage then answer the questions below:
1 American teenagers seem healthy enough but, in fact, many are not. For example, the numbers who
2 do sports or other energetic activities are falling. Even more importantly, more and more young
3 Americans do not eat well. This is a problem. And a large part of the problem is junk food – the junk
4 food that most of us eat more and more.
5 And there’s another big diet problem: too many teens don’t eat when they should. Take Carrie Choi.
6 Carrie is 15 and she hasn’t eaten breakfast since she was in third grade. ‘I don’t have time,’ she says. ‘I
7 have to be on the school bus at 7:15 am. Anyway,’ she adds, ‘I’m really not hungry at that time of day.’
8 More and more young Americans talk like Carrie. They are the 20% of US teenagers who don’t eat
9 breakfast. They are creating real problems for themselves – and perhaps even killing themselves.
10 Your body is like a car. Cars need fuel – and we need food. Your body uses most of yesterday’s supply
11 by morning and then it needs more. People who forget this and miss breakfast may suffer headaches,
12 and they will certainly be low on energy. On the other hand, scientists say, people who eat a proper
13 breakfast learn better, behave better and are generally healthier.

4 bottom. When the Food Pyramid gives a number of portions, this is the daily quantity necessary for
5 health. A portion here means, for example, one egg, 30 grams of meat or a vegetable like spinach or a
6 bowl of rice or yogurt. And, for example, the average person needs three portions of fruit per day.
7 Remember! Your body needs calcium so that it will grow strong bones.

3 all Britain’s many other lakes put together. Its name is Loch Ness.
4 And the cold, mysterious depths of Loch Ness may contain something even more mysterious – the
5 Loch Ness Monster. There are stories of lake monsters from around the world, but the most famous by

7 The earliest report that we have goes back 1,500 years. We also know that children were often
8 warned against playing near the water’s edge because of the giant ‘water horse’. And it wasn’t just

10 he described it as the biggest thing that he had ever seen in his life.

3 That summer, some research was carried out by students from Oxford and Cambridge, who
4 recorded a number of underwater echoes. These suggested a large creature in the lake.
5 In 1976, the American scientist Dr Robert Rines led the next team, who he brought with him from
6 Chicago. They managed to take this photo of a creature that appeared below the water surface. It shows
7 an animal with a long neck, a wide body and legs or flippers.
8 Then came Operation Deepscan in 1987. This required a line of 19 boats across the lake, which each
9 carried powerful equipment to record echoes of everything below. The boats had to keep an exact
10 distance between each other as they moved steadily along the lake. Sadly, the system could only cover
11 the deep centre of the loch – just 60% of the whole. However, three strong contacts were made. These
12 suggested a creature that was smaller than a whale but larger than a shark.
