Task 1.

Speaker A
I read an interesting article about how the Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre Museum in Paris back in 1911.
Apparently, it caused a sensation at the time as it highlighted a glaring degree of carelessness. A worker, Vincenzo
Peruggia, had been hired to install protective glass panels in front of several paintings to protect them in case they were
attacked, and these included Leonardo’s masterpiece the Mona Lisa. With virtually free access, Peruggia simply
dismantled the frame, hid the canvas under his coat and walked out under the noses of the police among a group of
other visitors. He got away with the theft until he attempted to sell the painting to the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, though
how on earth he imagined a national museum would buy the world's most famous painting is baffling to say the least.

Speaker B
As part of my art history degree, I studied the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch. He painted several versions of his famous
expressionist work The Scream, and one of these was housed in the Munch Museum in Oslo. Astonishingly, the gallery was
only protected by a single guard. In 2004, the painting was stolen by two armed robbers who ripped it from the wall and made
their escape whilst the guard was elsewhere in the museum. A bystander managed to capture the thieves loading the painting
into their getaway car, and the footage was passed to the police, giving them a head start in their investigation. However, it
took two years before the gang were arrested and the painting was recovered. The museum insists that the $1 million ransom
demand was not paid.

Speaker C
When I was a student in Manchester, I lived near the Whitworth Gallery, and was living there in 2003 when there was a famous
break-in. The thieves turned up one night and proceeded to locate three priceless paintings by van Gogh, Picasso and Gauguin.
They removed them from their frames and disappeared into the night, unseen by the CCTV cameras. Within a couple of days,
however, the police found the paintings, rolled up and dumped unceremoniously in a public toilet next to the museum. A hand-
written note claimed that the intention had never been to steal them, but simply to highlight the fact that the museum had no
guards and the paintings were virtually unprotected. The red-faced curators were delighted to have them back because it had
seemed likely that the works would end up being sold on the black market for millions of dollars.

Speaker D
Isabella Stewart Gardner was a prolific American art collector who bequeathed her entire collection of paintings to the city of
Boston when she died in 1924. The museum that bears her name contained priceless works by Old Masters, but it suffered a
catastrophic break-in in the early hours of the morning following St. Patrick’s Day in 1990. Two men dressed as policemen were
let into the museum by a guard who foolishly believed that the officers had come to investigate a disturbance. He was
overwhelmed and restrained, giving the thieves adequate time to remove thirteen paintings by Vermeer, Rembrandt and
Monet. So far, none of the paintings, which are currently estimated to be worth half a billion dollars or more, have been
recovered, and the FBI believes that the robbery may have been masterminded by gangsters with links to organized crime.

 Task 2.

Text 1
Man Today’s guest in the studio is writer, broadcaster and academic professor Amanda Green, who is here to tell
us a little about her new book on motivated cognition.
Woman Hello, and thank you for inviting me.
Man Thank you for agreeing to join us today. I think we’d probably better start by shedding some light on what
motivated cognition actually is.
Woman Well don’t be put off by the technical term which makes it all sound more complicated than it is. In my
lectures and talks I describe it as a way of thinking, a mental process that is affected by what we want to
believe. It’s something that people can immediately recognize, when it’s explained, but what I try to do is to
make people aware of some of its limitations so that they can try better alternatives.
Man Can you give me an example of the kind of thing you are talking about?
Woman Sure. There was a famous experiment back in the 50s in which supporters of two different university teams
were shown a recording of a football game between these two teams. It featured a number of clashes and
fouls where the referee had penalised one side or the other. Later, when the students were asked to analyze
the incidents objectively, they overwhelmingly agreed with the referee’s decisions that favoured their own
side and disagreed when they were penalized. Although they had all watched the same recording, what they
had perceived was different, and so their ability to accurately recall what had happened was compromised.
Now in that case, the stakes were low, but because perception can be affected by motivated cognition, you
can see why an eye witness in a criminal trial may need to have their testimony examined closely.
Man That’s interesting. So this could have implications for the criminal justice system?
Woman Absolutely, and not only as regards witnesses. A few years ago the police were investigating a spate of
murders, and fairly early on, the team settled on a main suspect. As the weeks and months went by and more
and more evidence was gathered, the team effectively filtered out any evidence that didn’t fit with their
suspicions, and focused on anything that did. This subconscious behaviour was reinforced by each of them
being a member of the group and wanting to maintain group loyalty. They only changed tack when a junior
officer reviewed all the evidence with a completely open mind and suddenly realised the culprit was someone
completely different.
Man So, you’re saying that motivated cognition is something damaging and very dangerous.
Woman No, not all – it depends entirely on the circumstances. What I’m trying to say, though, is that motivated
cognition is a completely normal part of the way that humans think. Now, I like to think like most people,
that I am a rational person, and if that is the case then it should be relatively straightforward to reach sensible
decisions. But we all see ‘facts’ through a slightly distorted lens, which is something I feel is imperative we
should be aware of, because it is only when we are conscious of our own biases and misconceptions, that we
can start to analyze things properly and reach the right conclusions.

Text 2
I was reading an article the other day about artificial intelligence, or AI, in the classroom, and it was going on about how you
can get a computer or platform to give out homework, keep records, do the marking and so on, But I was thinking that’s not
really artificial intelligence, it’s just being a bit more efficient, but then it went on to an area where AI could have an impact,
which is personalized learning. So if you were learning a language, the AI machine would know exactly which items of
vocabulary you’d been exposed to, which words you knew, which one’s you’d forgotten and so on. It could also design
supplementary materials specifically directed at you and taking into account your preferred learning style. And that would only
be the basic starting point of what a genuinely intelligent machine might be capable of.
The article went on to talk about something rather chilling, which was about a headset with various strategically placed
electrodes that can analyze what a student is thinking and feeling and can relay the information back to the teacher or central
control. Obviously, at the moment it’s still fairly primitive, but AI has the potential to develop something like this at
stratospheric speed. To begin with, I imagine it will be sold to us as something that could predict and prevent mental health
issues or facilitate learning or whatever, but going down that road could prove very costly. And because so many people have
scant regard for their privacy, perhaps because they have been brought up in the world of social media, they seem to lack a
healthy scepticism towards government and big tech, so they’ll probably just say, ‘OK, that’s fine, go ahead.’ Just think of the
ramifications.

 Task 3.
Although I’m responsible for some of the youth services in the villages in this area, I still pay attention to what’s going on
elsewhere. It’s a pretty scary picture, particularly in the big cities, where there seems to be an epidemic of knife crime, much
of it drug related. But I do get angry when I hear politicians saying we need to flood cities with police and bring in a zero
tolerance policy. Sure, that'd solve the immediate problem for a week or so, but there are some very big underlying issues that
need to be addressed, and it’s frustrating that politicians just refuse to face them. Most of these kids who get into trouble have
nowhere to go to in their free time, so what do you expect them to do? And they've been badly let down by the education
system, their job prospects are pretty bleak, their parents are on the breadline … it's a miracle things aren't a lot worse.
But as I say, round here we're a lot luckier. We don't have the density of people for a start, which probably helps, but the real
plus of living in a village or small town is the way that people are so interconnected. So, for example, we have football clubs
every Saturday, and we’re never short of parent volunteers to coach all the different teams. And then there are lots of us
running the various drama groups and musical events, some based round the school, some not, so there’s plenty for young
people to do if they want to get involved. I'm not saying that all our teenagers are angels, far from it, and we can’t afford to be
complacent. We have our fair share of antisocial behaviour and vandalism, but if something does happen, because we all know
each other and communicate with each other, we have a pretty good idea of who the perpetrators are and we can take
appropriate action before things escalate.
Anyway, going back to sport, earlier in the year we were expecting to get funding from the council for an extension to the
sports centre in Manningford, which would have given us indoor space for five-a-side football and several badminton courts,
and we were particularly pleased because we had got permission from the planning department, which we had thought would
be a major hurdle. In the end, there were some serious cutbacks at the council and we ended up with just some kit for the
under 11s football team. Don't get me wrong, it was very nice stuff, but it wasn't quite what we had in mind and you can
imagine how we felt about being back at square one.
