correct answer to each of the questions.
Anorexia is a dangerous eating disorder which often starts in the teenage years. In Britain 5 % of girls
are anorexic and four out of ten teenage girls skip meals so that they can be thin like fashion models
and pop stars.
Anorexia is a medical condition and its full name is anorexia nervosa. People with anorexia try not to
eat and they lose a lot of weight. They often feel fat even when they are very thin. They use other ways
of staying thin, too, like taking laxative tablets (which make you go to the toilet more often) or by
doing too much exercise. Anorexia is serious. Anorexics can become very weak and die. About 20 %
of anorexics don't live more than twenty years after the anorexia starts and only 60 % of anorexics get
better completely.
Celebrities are particularly vulnerable because people are always judging their appearance. Christina
Aguilera's video for the song Beautiful shows the effect of the pressure on young people to be thin.

all.

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.
Who talk more - men or women? Most people believe that women talk more. However, linguist
Deborah Tannen, who has studied the communication style of men and women, says that this is a
stereotype. According to Tannen, women are more verbal - talk more - in private situations, where
they use conversation as the "glue" to hold relationships together. But, she says, men talk more in
public situations, where they use conversation to exchange information and gain status. Tannen points
out that we can see these differences even in children. Little girls often play with one "best friend",
their play includes a lot of conversation. Little boys often play games in groups; their play usually
involves more doing than talking. In school, girls are often better at verbal skills, boys are often better
at mathematics.
A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference. Researchers
studied conversation between children age 3-6 and their parents. They found evidence that parents talk
very differently to their son than they do to their daughters. The startling conclusion was that parents
use more language with their girls. Specifically, when parents talk with their daughters, they use more
descriptive language and more details. There is also far more talk about emotions, especially sadness,
with daughters than with sons.
