mother used to do - she works as a photographer. Stella's brother, James, is a musician. Stella
first hit the newspaper headlines in 1995 when she graduated in fashion design from art college.
At her final show, her clothes were modeled by her friends, Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss,
both well-known models. Unsurprisingly, the student show became front-page news around the
world. Stella hadn't been in the news before as a fashion designer but she had spent time working
in the fashion world since she was fifteen. In March 1997, Stella went to work for the fashion
house Chloe. People said the famous fashion house had given her the job because of her surname
and her famous parents but Stella soon showed how good she was. She designs clothes which
she would like to wear herself, although she's not a model, and many famous models and actors
choose to wear them. In 2001 Stella started her own fashion house and has since opened stores
around the world and won many prizes. A lifelong vegetarian, McCartney does not use any
leather or fur in her design. Instead, she uses silk, wool and other animal-derived fabrics.

 Different relationships affect teenagers in various ways. Friends impact teenagers almost the
same amount as their parents. Teenagers go to their friends for help or to ask questions that they
could not ask their parents about. Most of the time their friends give them good advice. In most
cases they tell their friends how to dress and act when being around certain people.
Love relationships just make it even harder for a teenager to get a good education. Some
start to fail in school because they are hanging out with their boyfriend or girlfriend instead of
doing their work.
Parents have a big influence on teenagers because their children look up to them and the
majority of them grow up to act and do things just like their parents did with them. Children who
have experienced a family break-up may have lower achievements than children brought up in an
intact family.
As previously stated, teenagers are affected by many relationships which involve their
friends, family, and their love relationships. The relationships affect them so much that most
teenagers change their ideas about how they should live their lives in a different way and to
change their future goals. They should be influenced to help themselves or to help others.

Learning The Basics of Essential Life skills
Living on your own might be something that you dream of achieving some day, but at the
same time, the thought can be scary. You need an income, and then after that you need the
survival skills to take care of yourself without anyone there to support you.
This guide will help prepare you for that transition so that some day you can live
independently.
First, create a support network. We need people to be there for us and to also be honest with
us and tell us how we can improve ourselves. Preferably, this network will extend beyond family
members and include at least one close friend that you trust. Ultimately, when you are living on
your own, you might encounter many obstacles you have never thought of and you will want
someone there to be supportive of you and to help you as you navigate a life of independence.
Second, master your weaknesses. It is a good idea to try and be aware of your weaknesses. If
possible, have your close friend tell you what they feel are your biggest weaknesses. It is also
good to know your strengths, but it is your weaknesses that you need to work on. For instance,
you might get very focused on playing video games for hours, maybe days at a time. While it is
okay to play video games, playing them for days at a time when trying to live on your own can
lead to you losing your job and also your house. So, it is important that you recognize your
weaknesses and do your best to work with them.
Next, leam to balance your schedule. It is important to learn how to do multiple things in a
day. You need to be flexible and willing to schedule time for activities, work, and social
engagements.
Then, live a healthy lifestyle. You should exercise and try to eat healthy. You also have to
maintain your hygiene or you might find yourself out of a job.
Last but not least, follow your dreams and make them come true. Look through the
newspapers and online and find that apartment or house that you desire to live in. Decide that
you are going to move out and make it happen. Ultimately, living on your own is something that
you have to make happen for yourself. So, decide that is what you want and don’t allow anything
to deter you from your goal.
28. In order to live independently, you should _________.
 A. dream of achieving some day
B. need someone to support you in case of emergency

A story of Good People Good Deeds

Leading a helping hand to people who are in _29___is doing a good deed. As a person living in
our society, I feel like I should do my part to help those who are in need. For example. Helping
an old lady to carry her bags so that she may not have to _30__ with the weight, give up my seat
to elderly people, ect…These little deeds may be insignificant, but it may be of great help to the
people at the moment and they will be truly__31_. I believe human being should help one
another to make this world a better place. When you help someone, they thank you, and you feel
happy that you have done a meaningful deed. It is a win-win situation: good deeds should be
done more often. What goes around comes around. There will be one day when i need help from
others and these people may range from friends to strangers. For xample, if I happen to fall into a
pit one day, and some strangers happen to pass by, I would have to depend __32_them for help
to pull me out of the pit.
The saying “ what goes around, comes around” may not be exactly true, but then again, it might
just be. If you like to help people, you can start on samll things around you and then add harder
stuff to do each day. It would be a better way instead of trying to accomplish things which are
difficult and in then end up not doing anything. Remember, helping people is a way to help
yourself as you can _33__ a lot of happiness through it

Exercise 9 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 questions.

Cooperation is the common endeavor of two or more people to perform a task or reach a jointly
cherished goal. Like competition and conflict, there are different forms of cooperation, based on
group organization and attitudes.

In the first form, known as primary cooperation, group and individual fuse. The group contains
nearly all of each individual’s life. The rewards of the group’s work are shared with each
member. There is an interlocking identity of individual, group and task performed. Means and
goals become one, for cooperation itself is valued.

While primary cooperation is most often characteristic of preliterate societies, secondary

cooperation is characteristic of many modem societies. In secondary cooperation, individuals
devote only part of their lives to the group. Cooperation itself is not a value. Most members of
the group feel loyalty, but the welfare of the group is not the first consideration. Members
perform tasks so that they can separately enjoy the fruits of their cooperation in the form of
salary prestige, or power. Business offices and professional athletic teams are examples of
secondary cooperation.

In the third type called tertiary cooperation or accommodation, latent conflict underlies the
shared work. The attitudes of the cooperating parties are purely opportunistic: the organization
is loose and fragile. Accommodation involves common means to achieve antagonistic goals: it
breaks down when the common means cease to aid each party in reaching its goals. This is not,
strictly speaking cooperation at all, and hence the somewhat contradictory term antagonistic
cooperation is sometimes used for this relationship.

B. It is most commonly seen among people who have not yet developed reading and writing

C. It is an ideal that can never be achieved

D. It was confined to prehistoric times

Question 36: According to the passage, why do people join groups that practice secondary
