THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE
The Man Booker Prize for Fiction is awarded annually for full-length novels of writers from the
Commonwealth or the Republic of Ireland with a view to representing the very best in contemporary fiction.
The prestigious prize was originally called the Booker-McConnell Prize, the name of the sponsor company;
however, it was better-known as the 'Booker Prize. In 2002, the name was modified when Man Group became
the sponsor and they keep the word 'Booker?
Books from publishers can be submitted for consideration for the prize. In addition, the judges can
sometimes send inviations to authors if they think the books should be included. Initially, the Advisory
Committee give advice if there are any changes to the rules for the prize. Then, the people who will judge the
books will be selected. There is an annual change in the judging panel and usually an individual is only a judge
once.
The organizers also made great efforts to ensure that the judging panel is balanced in terms of gender and
professions. Normally, a writer, a critic, an editor and an academic are chosen along with a celebrity from wider
society. Nevertheless, when the panel of judges has been confirmed, they are left to make their own decisions
without any further involvement or intervention from the sponsor.
The Booker Prize is highly appreciated because it rewards the finest in fiction, features great books to
readers and transforms authors' careers. The influence of the prize is so huge that the winner will almost
certainly see the sales increase considerably, along with the £50,000 that comes with the prize.

Read the following passage and Mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions from 35 to 42.
While watching sports on TV, the chances are children will see professional players cheating, having
tantrums, fighting, or abusing officials. In addition, it’s highly likely that children will be aware of well-known
cases of sportspeople being caught using drugs to improve their performance. The danger of all this is that it
could give children the idea that winning is all that counts and you should win at all costs. Good behavior and
fair play aren’t the message that comes across. Instead, it looks as if cheating and bad behavior are reasonable
ways of getting what you want. This message is further bolstered by the fact that some of these sportspeople
acquire enormous fame and wealth, making it seem they are being handsomely rewarded either despite or
because of their bad behavior.
What can parents do about this? They can regard sport on television as an opportunity to discuss attitudes
and behavior with their children. When watching sports together, if parents see a player swearing at the referee,
they can get the child’s opinion on that behavior and discuss whether a player’s skill is more important than
their behavior. Ask what the child thinks the player’s contribution to the team is. Point out that no player can
win a team game on their own, so it’s important for members to work well together.
Another thing to focus on is what the commentators say. Do they frown on bad behavior from players,
think it’s amusing or even consider it’s a good thing? What about the officials? If they let players get away with
a clear foul, parents can discuss with children whether this is right and what effect it has on the game. Look too
at the reactions of coaches and managers. Do they accept losing with good grace or scowl and show a bad
attitude? Parents can use this to talk about attitudes to winning and losing and to remind children that both are
part of sport.
However, what children learn from watching sports is by no means all negative and parents should make
sure they accentuate the positives too. They should emphasise to children the high reputation that well-behaved
players have, not just with their teammates but also with spectators and the media. They can focus on the
contribution made by such players during a game, discussing how valuable they are in the team. In the
interviews after a game, point out to a child that the well-behaved sportspeople don’t gloat when they win or
sulk when they lose. And parents can stress how well these people conduct themselves in their personal lives
and the good work they do for others when not playing. In other words, parents should get their children to
focus on the positive role models, rather than the antics of the badly behaved but often more publicized players.
