SECTION 2: READING (72 pts)

Reading passage 1
Bondi Beach

Bondi Beach is one of Australia’s most well-known beaches and among the world’s most
famous. Bondi Beach is located in a suburb of Sydney, 7 kilometres east of the Sydney central
business district. Bondi is said to be a corruption of an Aboriginal word boondi meaning water
breaking over rocks. It has been spelt a number of different ways over time, e.g. Boondi, Bundi,
Elundye. The Australian Museum records that Bondi means a place where a flight of nullas took
place. The current spelling was accepted in 1827.
Aboriginal people occupied many sites in the area now known as Waverley in the period
before European settlement. There were numerous recorded sightings during the early colonial
period and there are significant aboriginal rock carvings, including rough carvings of fish or fishes
on the cliffs. The indigenous people of the area, at the time of European settlement, have generally
been referred to as the Sydney people or the Eora, which means “the people”. There is no clear
evidence for the name or names of the particular band or bands of the Eora that roamed what is now
the Waverley area. A number of place names within Waverley, most famously Bondi, have been
based on words derived from Aboriginal languages of the Sydney region.
Formal European settlement goes back to 1809, when the early road builder, William
Roberts received a grant of 81 hectares from Governor Bligh, of what is now most of the business
and residential area of Bondi Beach. In 1851, Edward Smith Hall and Francis O’Brien purchased
200 acres of the Bondi area that embraced almost the whole frontage of Bondi Beach. Between
1855 and 1877 O’Brien purchased Hall’s share of the land, renamed the land the “O’Brien Estate”,
and made the beach and the surrounding land available to the public as a picnic ground and
amusement resort. As the beach became increasingly popular, O’Brien threatened to stop public
beach access. However, the Municipal Council believed that the Government needed to intervene to
make the beach a public reserve. However, it was not until June 9, 1882, that the NSW Government
acted and Bondi Beach became a public beach.

Trang 3/4
 In the early 1800s swimming at Sydney’s beaches was a controversial pastime. In 1803,
Governor Philip King forbade convicts from bathing in Sydney Harbour because of “the dangers of
sharks and stingrays, and for reasons of decorum”. But by the 1830s sea bathing was becoming a
popular activity, despite being officially banned between 9:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. During the 1900s
these restrictive attitudes began to relax and the beach became associated with health, leisure and
democracy. Bondi Beach was a working-class suburb throughout most of the twentieth century with
migrant people comprising the majority of the local population. The first tramway reached the
beach in 1884 and the tram became the first public transportation in Bondi. As an alternative, this
action changed the rule that only wealthy people could enjoy the beach. By the 1930s Bondi was
drawing not only local visitors but also people from elsewhere in Australia and overseas.
The increasing popularity of sea bathing during the late 1800s and early 1900s raised
concerns about public safety. In response, the world’s first formally documented surf lifesaving
club, the Bondi Surf Bathers’ Life Saving Club was formed in February 1906, the first club house
being a simple tent in the dunes. This was powerfully reinforced by the dramatic events of “Black
Sunday” at Bondi in 1938. Some 35,000 people were on the beach and a large group of lifesavers
were about to start a surf race when three freak waves hit the beach, sweeping hundreds of people
out to sea. Lifesavers rescued 300 people, the largest mass rescue in the history of surf bathing.

Bondi Beach is the end point of the City to Surf Fun Run, the largest running event in the
world, which is held each year in August. Australian surf carnivals further instilled this image.
Particularly popular during the inter-War years and immediately after World War ll, these displays
of pageantry, discipline, strength and skill drew large crowds and even royal attention. A Royal
Surf Carnival was held at Bondi Beach for Queen Elizabeth 11 during her first tour to Australia in
1954. In addition to many activities, Bondi Beach Market is open every Sunday. Many wealthy
people spend Christmas Day at the beach. However, a shortage of houses occurs when lots of
people rushed to the seaside. Manly is the seashore town which solved this problem. However,
people still choose Bondi as their destination rather than Manly.
A commercial retail centre is separated from Bondi Beach by Campbell Parade, and Bondi
Park, featuring many popular cafes, restaurants, and hotels, with views of the beach. The valley
running down to the beach is famous over the world for its view of distinctive red tiled roofs. These
architectural styles are deeply influenced by the coastal towns in England. In the last decade, Bondi
Beaches’ unique position has seen a dramatic rise in svelte contemporary houses and apartments to
take advantage of the views and scent of the sea. Bondi Beach hosted the beach volleyball
competition at the 2000 Summer Olympics. A temporary 10,000-seat stadium, a much smaller
stadium, 2 warm-up courts, and 3 training courts were set up to host the tournament and only stood
for six weeks. The stadium had uncovered seating around three sides, and a partly covered stand on
one side. Campaigners opposed both the social and environmental consequences of the
development. “They’re prepared to risk lives and risk the Bondi beach environment for the sake of
eight days of volleyball”, said Stephen Uniacke, a construction lawyer involved in the campaign.
Other environmental concerns include the possibility that soil dredged up from below the sand will
acidify when brought to the surface.

Reading Passage 2
HIGH-TECH CRIME-FIGHTING TOOLS
A
Crime-fighting technology is getting more sophisticated and rightly so. The police need to be
equipped for the 21st century. In Britain we've already got the world's biggest DNA database. By
next year the state will have access to the genetic data of 4.25m people: one British-based person in
14. Hundreds of thousands of those on the database will never have been charged with a crime.
B
Britain is also reported to have more than £4 million CCTV (closed circuit television) cameras.
There is a continuing debate about the effectiveness of CCTV. Some evidence suggests that it is
helpful in reducing shoplifting and car crime. It has also been used to successfully identify terrorists
and murderers. However, many claim that better lighting is just as effective to prevent crime and
that cameras could displace crime. An internal police report said that only one crime was solved for
every 1,000 cameras in London in 2007. In short, there is conflicting evidence about the
effectiveness of cameras, so it is likely that the debate will continue.
C
Professor Mike Press, who has spent the past decade studying how design can contribute to crime
reduction, said that, in order for CCTV to have any effect, it must be used in a targeted way. For
example, a scheme in Manchester records every licence plate at the entrance of a shopping complex
and alerts police when one is found to belong to an untaxed or stolen car. This is an effective
example of monitoring, he said. Most schemes that simply record city centres continually - often
not being watched - do not produce results. CCTV can also have the opposite effect of that
intended, by giving citizens a false sense of security and encouraging them to be careless with
property and personal safety. Professor Press said: ‘All the evidence suggests that CCTV alone
makes no positive impact on crime reduction and prevention at all. The weight of evidence would
suggest the investment is more or less a waste of money unless you have lots of other things in
place.’ He believes that much of the increase is driven by the marketing efforts of security
companies who promote the crime-reducing benefits of their products. He described it as a ‘lazy
approach to crime prevention’ and said that authorities should instead be focusing on how to alter
the environment to reduce crime.

Trang 5/4
D
But in reality, this is not what is happening. Instead, police are considering using more technology.
Police forces have recently begun experimenting with cameras in their helmets. The footage will be
stored on police computers, along with the footage from thousands of CCTV cameras and millions
of pictures from numberplate recognition cameras used increasingly to check up on motorists.
E
And now another type of technology is being introduced. It's called the Microdrone and it's a toy-
sized remote-control craft that hovers above streets or crowds to film what's going on beneath. The
Microdrone has already been used to monitor rock festivals, but its supplier has also been in
discussions to supply it to the Metropolitan Police and Soca, the Serious Organised Crime Agency.
The drones are small enough to be unnoticed by people on the ground when they are flying at 350
ft. They contain high resolution video surveillance equipment and an infrared night vision
capability, so even in darkness they give their operators a bird's-eye view of locations while
remaining virtually undetectable.
F
The worrying thing is, who will get access to this technology? Merseyside police are already
employing two of the devices as part of a pilot scheme to watch football crowds and city parks
looking for antisocial behaviour. It is not just about crime detection: West Midlands fire brigade is
about to lease a drone, for example, to get a better view of fire and flood scenes and aid rescue
attempts; the Environment Agency is considering their use for monitoring of illegal fly tipping and
oil spills. The company that makes the drone says it has no plans to license the equipment to
individuals or private companies, which hopefully will prevent private security firms from getting
their hands on them. But what about local authorities? In theory, this technology could be used

against motorists. And where will the surveillance society end? Already there are plans to introduce
‘smart water’ containing a unique DNA code identifier that when sprayed on a suspect will cling to
their clothes and skin and allow officers to identify them later. As long as high-tech tools are being
used in the fight against crime and terrorism, fine. But if it's another weapon to be used to invade
our privacy then we don't want it.
