Parents feel unable to protect them and they wish to believe that their teenage children are, very mature to deal with any difficulty. There are ways, moreover, for teenagers to show that they can be dependable. Page 2 of 7First of all, in order for teenagers to be regarded as reliable by their parents, they should be disciplinary and consistent. In other words, teenagers ought to persuade their parents that they can be reliable enough with every day tasks; for example, they ought to do their best at school. Moreover, teenagers should act maturely. They should be social and helpful with other people. Also, they should be able“to handle their pocket money. Finally, in order for teenagers to prove them trustworthy, they should not use explicit language and avoid bad influences or peer pressures. To conclude, I believe thatteenagers can be relied. They have just to be very careful, to make right decisions, and above all. they should avoid lying, so that to gain their parents’ trust and enjoy more freedom.

(52)___ originally recognised in Australia, it is a condition which is now being observed in many other countries. A sleep specialist from the centre believes that the condition is currently quite rare, but has the (53)_ to grow. The specialist states that he has witnessed many instances of sufferers sending incoherent messages to their friends (54) asleep. Texters are reportedly completely unaware of their sleep messaging habits. Another authority on the subject cites the stresses of daily life as causing people to sleep-text., Other experts believé that sleep texting shares many similar (35) with other well-known sleep disorders such as sleep-walking. People are now being advised to leave their mobile phones (56) __ the bedroom in order to resist the urge to text. Experts say that if the phone is to hand, then having a restful sleep.

While looking for information on the Internet for an environmental studies assignment, you come across this article on invasive species. Read the article carefully and answer the questions that follow. . : INVASIVE SPECIES Species that are considered part of the flora and fauna composing the biodiversity of the region they inhabit are called endemic species. Some have a limited geographic range, while others are found throughout one or more continents, Invasive species, on the other hand, are those that have moved or been introduced into an area outside their natural range, an area where they would not normally be found. According to leading ecologists, invasive species are the second most significant threat to biodiversity after habitat loss. Provided they adapt to their new ecosystems, alien species can become predators and competitors of native plants and animals. +t takes the right conditions for an alien species to flourish, though. In fact, the majority of them either don't find the appropriate conditions for their long-term survival or don't produce enough offspring to maintain a viable population. However. some do manage to thrive in their new environments. A striking example is the Asian longhom beetle, which has recently joined the ranks of the zebra mussel, the gypsy moth and hundreds of other unwanted foreigners to the US: Ecologists claim that these unwanted invaders now pose a significant threat to endemic flora and fauna and cost $123 billion annually. Although the Asian longhorn poses few problems in the natural forests of its native China, it has become a pest elsewhere in Asia as it has spread through poplar tree plantations cultivated for the manufacture of shipping crates. Experts believe the invasion of the Asian longhorn into the US occurred when the creatures hitchhiked from Asia in crates carrying machinery parts for a water treatment facility in New York. Within two years, authorities banned the import of goods in wooden crates that weren't sprayed with pesticides, but experts feared that the infection had already begun. Indeed, in 1998, a Chicago resident notified authorities of the second Asian longhorn invasion to hit America, after finding strange-looking beetles crawling out of imported firewood he had just bought. To date, firewood importers in 20 states have reported signs of the Asian longhorn. The Asian Jonghorn reproduces prolifically, with the female depositing around 60 eggs under the bark of a tree. The larvae burrow into the tree, feeding on the wood as they go. After metamorphosing into adults, the beetles tunnel out in spring to reproduce. Individual trees are often home to successive generations of beetles, which carry on eating through the wood until the tree dies. Authorities in affected states have been scouring infested areas, battling to keep the beetle population in check. The greatest fear in New York is the threat to Central Park, where its 26,000 trees are being inspected branch by branch. The infested trees are cut down and then incinerated, In the last three years 5,000 trees have been felled in New York,alone, 3,500 of which were growing in Central Park. In Chicago. 1,500, trees have met their untimely death this way, bringing the nation’s total of felled trees to 15,000. In the meantime, scientists are looking into less destructive solutions. A team at NYU is experimenting with beetle pheromones, natural chemicals that attract beetles, in the hope that they will discover one thatdraws the Asian longhorn out of its habitat. And researchers from the US Department of Agriculture have made a breakthrough that will soon be exploited: they have discovered that the Asian longhorn is vulnerable to wasps when it still a grub living under the bark of the tree, where conventional pesticides have difficulty reaching. Unfortunately, the Asian longhorn is just the tip of the iceberg. Nevertheless, experts are confident their research will eventually curb not only the Asian longhorn, but future invasive species as well. They admit that we will never be able to completely close the door Page 5 of 7to them, but maintain that if appropriate research is carried out and action is taken, their effects on our nation’s biodiversity can be mitigated. 71.

First, read the notes below then listen and complete the notes with information from the presentation. You will hear the recording twice. M: Now, everydne in this room should know that the easiest way to recognise a company and distinguish it from others is by its logo. But a large number of companies design their logo themselves and get it all wrong. Stick to what you're good at, and get the professionals to arrange your logo design. Make sure your logo is unique and memorable, that it can be reproduced further down the line, that you don’t have to re-design it in a couple of years, and make sure it looks professional. Ignore the latest design tricks and,gimiicks. A logo design should be timeless When printeti in small sizes, a complex design will lose detail. A logo should be memorable, and one of the best ways to make it memorable is to keep things simple. Don’t rely too much on colour. Choosing colour should be your last decision, so start your work in black and white. Get your designer to test your logo to see how good it looks in only one colour. Choosing the right font is the most important decision a designer can make in logo design. More often than not, a logo fails because of a poor font choice. The font needs to match the style of the icon. But this can be tricky. If the font you have chosen does not reflect the icon’s characteristics, then the whole message of the brand will misfire. Copying Someone else’s logo does no one any favours. neither the client nor the designer. Unfortunately, this fundamental design mistake is becoming more and more common. A logo is supposed to represent a business. If it looks the same as someone else’s, it has failed. Now listen again . "Page 1 of 10Il.

Choose the answer (A. B,C or D) which fits best according to wh&t you hear. 6, Olivia and Ron both say that their motivation for learning so many languages is A. the possibility of communicating with people around the world. B. their fascination with language systems, C. their ability to master languages extremely quickly. D. the challenge of achieving native speaker fluency 7. What did Ron.learn about hyperpolyglots when he was researching his book? A. They do not have any special genetic features B. They usually have a history of multi-lingualism in the family. C. They are part of a relatively recent phenomenon. D. They usually focus on the same group of languages. 8. When discussing reactions to their hyperpolyglotism, Ron agrees with Olivia that * A. people often make the wrong assumptions about their personalities. B. it is surprising how much attention they attract. C. people cannot see the point of learning so many languages D. it is touching how eager people are to help them. 9. How does Olivia feel about spending so much time on the Internet? A. proud of the intensity with which she studies. B. defensive about the choices She makes. C. worried that she is becoming isolated from her friends. D. embarrassed about her enjoyment of soap operas and chat shows. 10. What point does Ron make about one East Asian language? A. He finds it particularly appropriate in one situation. B. He hopes to keep it alive for posterity. C. It has noi kept up with modern developments D. Ithas a special religious significance among i speakers. Interviewer: With me today are two hyperpolyglots — that’s people who can speak multiple languages. There's Olivia Glydon who at the age of twenty can already speak twenty-five languages. And Ron Partridge who can speak an incredible: fifty languages and has written a book called “Speaking in many tongues’. So Olivia, why the need to speak so many languages? Olivia: I think for me it’s just that I’m into the way languages work. I just like them for their own sake really — using them as a communication tool is just a great by-product. In fact I've only ever had the opportunity to travel outside the United States once so all my communication is via Skype and email. Ron: Yes — and when you say I speak fifty languages that’s not to say I'm fluent in all those languages — I have a working knowledge of them but I'm nowhere near the level of a native speaker. But [ just love discovering more about the technical aspects of a language. Also the more you lear the easier it becomes to pick up additional languages. Now I'd only need a month or so to get to grips with the alphabet pronunciation and grammar of any language. Inteyviewer: Would you say being a hyperpolyglot is something of'a minority sport? Olivia: Well, in fact it was incredible to read Ron's book and find how typical my experience was of becoining a hyperpolyglot. I hadn’t realised there were so many of us around. Page 2 of 10Ron: Interviewer: Ron: Olivia: Ron: Interviewer: Olivia: Interviewer: : Right. And what about you, Ron? I understand you've a part ’s nice to know there are other people who share your passion. And occasionally you'll find:someone who’s chosen the same obscure language to lear ~ so you can communicate via that. But when I was writing the book I discovered that hyperpolyglots have only been around since the nineteenth century. when people began to travel more. And the debate about whether the ability to lean multiple languages is an innate skill or whether it’s learned started back then. Now we know that some people have a natural gift, though ‘it certainly helps if you're bilingual or trilingual to begin with. That applied to me as my mother’s Dutch. And how do people react to it? For me, with my very rusty French, it seems an almost superhuman feat. Incomprehension'‘as to how we do it, coupled with awe, is a fairly typical reaction, Yeah — some people can also be a bit suspicious. — like there must be something weird about us or we've got suspect motives for wanting to learn dozens of languages. But generally people all over the world are really enthusiastic and willing to teach me Hindi, Arabic, Turkish, Kurdish, Dutch — ~ or whatever. They get a kick out of it. That makes me feel good. Yes. For so long all the traffic has been in the opposite direction with English becoming so dominant, So I find it quite moving to discover that people are so proud of their native tongue. So Olivia do you spend all your free time on the Internet learning these languages? Pretty much. Up to fifteen hours a day during college vacations. But it’s. not like I'm passively watching TV all day. I’m learning stuff all the time. Even ‘when I’m watching trashy soap operas or chat shows — things I wouldn’t be caught dead watching in English but they're cool in Hindi, I don’t think I'm abnormal or obsessive. It’s just I've found my niche. And I get to have online relationships with, people around the world that share my interest. cular affection for some languages? That's right. There’s a nearly extinct language spoken by the few surviving members of an aboriginal group in East Asia. It’s not a language I can easily Use to converse with other people. It’s not that it lacks words for things like car and computer but they’re irrelevant in my case. But when I'm walking up in the hills I find myself thinking in this language because it has this mystical quality. It’s terrible that the world is losing so many of these ancient languages. Well that’s absolutely fascinating.

In other words, teenagers ought to persuade their parents that they can be reliable enough with every day tasks: for example, they ought to do their best at school Moreover, teenagers should act maturely. They should be social and helpful with other people. Also! they should be able-to handle their pocket money. Finally, in order for teenagers to prove them trustworthy, they should not use explicit language and avoid bad influences or peer pressures. To conclude, I believe that.teenagers can be relied.

Indeed Passage 2 (10 marks) While looking for information on the Internet for an environmental studies assignment, you come across this article on invasive species. Read the article carefully and answer the questions that follow. INVASIVE SPECL Species that are considered part of the flora and fauna composing the biodiversity of the regioti they inhabit are called endemic species. Some have a limited geographic range. while others are found throughout one or more continents. Invasive species, on the other hand, are those that have moved or been introduced into an area outside their natural range. an agea where they would not normally be found. According to leading ecologists, invasive Page 7 of 10species are the second most significant threat to biodiversity after habitat loss. Provided they adapt to their new ecosystems, alierr species can become predators and competitors of native plants and animals. ‘It takes the right conditions for an alien species to flourish, though. In fact, the majority of them either don't find the, appropriate conditions for theit long-term survival or don't produce enough offspring to maintain a viable population. However, some do manage to thrive in their new environments. A striking example is the Asian longhom beetle, which has recently joined the ranks of the zebra mussel. the gypsy moth and hundreds of pther unwanted foreigners to the US. Ecologists claim that these unwanted invaders now pose a significant threat to endemic flora and fauna and cost $123 billion annually. Although the Asian longhoin poses few problems in the natural forests of its native China, it has become a pest elsewhere in Asia as it has spread through poplar tree plantations cultivated for the manufacturé of shipping crates. Experts believe the invasion of the Asian longhorn into the US occurred when the creatures hitchhiked from Asia in crates carrying machinery parts for 4 water treatment facility in New York. Within two years. authorities banned the import of goods in wooden crates that weren't sprayed with pesticides, but experts feared that the infection had already begun. Indeed, in 1998, a Chicago resident notified authorities of the second Asian longhorn invasion to hit America, after finding strange-looking beetles crawling out of imported firewood he had just bought. To date, firewood importers in 20 states have reported signé of the Asian longhorn. The Asian longhorn reproduces prolifically. with the female depositing around 60 eges undér the bark of a tree. The larvae burrow into the tree, feeding on the wood as they go. Afier metamorphosing into adults, the beetles tunnel out in spring to reproduce. Individual trees are often home to successive generations of beetles, which carry on eating through the wood until the tree dies. Authorities in affected states have been scouring infested are: battling to keep the beetle population in check. The greatest fear in New York is the threat to Central Park, where its 26,000 trees are being inspected branch by branch. The infested tees are cut down and then incinerated. In the last three years 5,000 trees have been felled in New Yorksalone, 3,500 of which were growing in Central Park. In Chicago, 1.500 trees have met their untimely death this way, bringing the nation’s total of felled trees to 15,000. In the meantime, scientists are looking into less destructive solutions. A team at NYU is experimenting with beetle pheromones, natural chemicals that attract beetles. in the hope that they will discover one that'draws the Asian longhorn out of its habitat. And researchers from the US Department of Agriculture have made a breakthrough that will soon be exploited: they have discovered that the Asian longhorn is vulnerable to wasps when it is still a grub living under the bark of the tree, where conventional pesticides have difficulty reaching. Unfortunately, the Asian longhorn is just the tip of the iceberg. Nevertheless, experts are confident their research will eventually curb not only the Asian longhorn, but future invasive species as well. They admit that we will never be able to completely close the door to them, but maintain that if appropriate research is carried out and action is taken, their effects on our nation's biodiversity can be mitigated. ; 71.

The Program became very popular on campus, but was later shut down by the university authorities who deemed it'inappropriate’ Based on the buzz of "Facemash’, three of Mark's fellow students, Divya Narendra, and twins, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, asked him to work with them on an idea for a social networking site called "Harvard Connection’. This site was designed to use information from Harvard's student networks to create a dating site for the university's elite. Mark was intially enthusiastic about the complex project but boredom soon set in and he backed out of it to work on his own social networking site. He created a site that allowed users to produce their own profiles, upload photos, and communicate with other people beyond the confines of the university. He called the site "Facebook" and he operated from one small college room until June 2004 when he finally abandoned his studies to devote himself fully to Facebook and moved the company to California By the end of 2004, Facebook had one milion users and Mark was cimbing high. However, in 2006, the multi-millionaire business mogul faced his first big hurdle. The creators of Harvard Connection claimed that he had used their idea, and insisted that he should compensate them for their business losses. Mark maintained that the ideas were based on two very different types of social networks but, after lawyers searched his records, incriminating emails revealed that he may have intentionally stolen the intellectual property of his former Partners, Although an initial settlement of $65 million was redched between the two parties, the legal dispute over the matter continued well into 2011, after the Harvard Connection creators claimed they were misled with regards to the value of the Facebook stock Since amassing his sizeable fortune, Mark has used his millions to fund a variety of philanthropic causes.
