TEXT I

The Polynesian word tattoo became part of the English vocabulary after an English explorer, James cook visited the Pacific island of Tahiti. “Both sexes,” he wrote, “paint their bodies. Tattow, as it is called in their language, is done by inlaying the color of black under their skins ….” Although the term tattoo came from the South Pacific, tattoos and other kinds of body paint have been part of cultures around the world. Native Americans tattooed themselves with bird blood. Mayans in Mexico tattpooed themselves with pictures of their gods. Scientists have even discovered tattoos on Egyptian mummies. In 1991, hikers in the Alps found the tattooed mummy of a man who died 5,000 year ago. What do tattoos mean to the people who get them? The meaning can depend upon the culture. Tattoos may serve to connect people with ancestors or gods. In part of Indonesia, tattoos are sometimes used as protection a gainst evil. Tattoos can also be used to identify people as members of a social group. For instance, Japanese tattooing started among men in lower socio-economic groups who were craving for the expensive clothing that upper class people wore. In parts of Polynesia, on the other hand, geometric tattoos showed high social class: The most powerful people had the most complicated tattoos. In many cultures, body art such as tattoos defines the transition from childhood to adulthood. An Indian bride’s hands and feet are decorated with henna, for example, to bring her good luck. In many cultures, tattooing is a tradition. Perhaps nowhere was tattooing a more important than in the Marquesas, a group of volcanic islands in the South Pacific. In the Marquesas, tattoos were used to signify a number of things. One was beauty. The more complex the designs the more beautiful they were considered. They were also a symbol of courage because the tattooing process was painful. Finally, tattoos showed wealth because theeee tattoo artist was well paid. Marquesan men often had their entire bodies tattooed, while women usually only had tattoos on their hands, lips, shoulders, ankles, and behind their ears. As important as this tradition was, however, it died out because of pressure from Europeans. In 1842, the islands were taken by the French, who made tattooing illegal. Most of Marquesan designs would have been forgotten by now except for the work of a German anthropologist, Ivan Kruesentern. Kruesentern’s work has helped make tattoos popular in the United States and has influenced body art in Western cultures today. Kruesentern spent 20 years taking photographs of tattoos. His photographs have gained importance since the 1970’s, when tattooing came into fashion again. Tattoo artists now may use modern battery-operated tools, but they often use the traditional designs they find in Kruesentern’s work. 1.

TEXT II

Technology plays an increasingly important part in our daily lives. While many technological development may be beneficial – in the field of medicine, for instance – there are many others whose effects are less positive. We may find examples of these in the world of work, in the home and in the whole area of freedom and privacy. In the world of work, technological advances have had various negative effects. The development of robotics has meant that in industries, such as car-manufacturing, robots are replacing people. They work faster and more accurately and they don’t need breaks. As a result, industrial workers see job opportunities decreasing further and unemployment levels rising. In addition, more and more people are working from home using personal computers, which means that they lose the stimulus that comes from working in direct contact with other people and may feel isolated. Finally, there are the implications of information technology for freedom and privacy. More facts about individuals are being stored in data banks, which may be accessed through networks of computers. This creates an ever increasing risk of accidental or deliberate leaking of private details. Every day more information is collected by banks, credit card companies, consumer organizations and so on – an who is there to keep an eye on what happens to it? It is certainly convenient to store information in this way, but I feel it could lead to long-term problems. There may be other hidden dangers – theoretically, could a “thinking” computer start to use the data against us? To sum up, I believe that we must be very careful with technology. While it has clear advantages, there is also the danger that it could turn on us and we could find ourselves the victims of our success. 6.

TEXT III

Urban transport is a major problem in the countries of the European Union, where over 75% of the population lives in towns and cities. It is becoming increasingly difficult to reconcile individual needs and expectations of personal mobility with the preservation of the fabric of our cities and with the quality of life of their inhabitants. Transport is already one of the chief contributors to health and environmental problems in urban regions, and increasing levels of congestion mean that in some cities the average speed of traffic at peak times is slower than it was in the days of the horse and cart. In addition, exhaust fumes are a major contributor to rising levels of CO 2 emissions in the atmosphere, as well as being a source of carbon monoxide and particulate matter. With experts forecasting an increase of 30% in the total number of kilometers travelled by 2030, urban transport systems have to face the challenge of meeting citizens’ needs for mobility through the development of innovative and sustainable methods of transport. ……………………… 11.

TEXT I

Paper is different from other waste products because it comes from trees. Unlike plastic and metal waste products, which cannot disintegrate, paper is biodegradable – it can be broken down into substances by the action of bacteria, and are not harmful to the environment. While 45 out of every 100 tones of wood fibre used to make paper in Australia comes from waste paper, the rest comes from virgin fibre from forests and plantations. By world standards this is a good performance since the world-wide average is 33 per cent waste paper. Governments have encouraged waste paper collection and sorting schemes and at the same time, the paper industry has responded by developing new recycling technologies that have paved the way for even greater utilization of used fibre. As a result, industry’s use of recycled fibres is expected to increase at twice the rate of virgin fibre over the coming years. Already, was paper constitutes 70% of paper used for packaging and advances in the technology required to remove ink from the paper have allowed a higher recycled content in newsprint and writing paper. To achieve the benefits of recycling, the community must also contribute. We need to accept a change in the quality of paper products; for example, stationery may be less white and of rougher texture. There also needs to be support from the community for waste paper collection programs. Not only do we need to make the paper available to collectors but it also needs to be separated into different types and sorted from contaminants such as staples, paperclips, string and other miscellaneous items. There are technical limitations to the amount of paper which can be recycled and some paper products cannot be collected for re-use. These include paper in the form of books and permanent records, photographic paper and paper which is badly contaminated. The four most common sources of paper for recycling are factories and retail stores which gather large amounts of packaging material in which goods are delivered, also offices which have unwanted business documents and computer output, paper converters and printers and lastly households which discard newspapers and packaging material. The paper manufacturer pays a price for the paper and may also have to pay the collection cost. 1.

Computer are a relatively new invention. The first computers were built fifty years ago and it is only in the last thirty years that their influence has affected our everyday life. Personal computers were introduced as recently as the early eighties. In this shirt time they have made a tremendous impact on our lives. We are now so dependent on computers that it is hard to imagine what things would be like today without them. You have only got to go into a bank when their main computer is broken to understand the chaos that would occur if computers were suddenly removed world-wide. In the future computers will be used to create bigger and even more sophisticated computers. The prospects for this are quite alarming. They will be so complex that no individual could hope to understand how they work. They will bring a lot of benefits but they will also increase to potential for unimaginable chaos. They will, for example, be able to fly planes and they will be able to co-ordinate the movements of several plenes sround the airport. Providing all the computers are working correctly nothing can go wrong ; but if one program fails there be a disaster. There is no doubt that technology will progress and become increasingly complex. We should, however, ensure that we are still in a position where we are able to control technology. It will be all too easy to suddenly discover that technology is controlling us. By then it might be too late. I believe that it is very important to be suspicious of the benefits that computers will bring and to make sure that we never become totally dependent on a completely technological world. 6.

(1) …………………………………………………… (2) The first and simplest tip of all is to reduce the portion size that you put on a plate. (3) Try dishing up about 80% of your normal portion sizes over a week or so. (4) When you no longer notice that the portions look smaller than they used to, try reducing the portion sizes by 80% - 90% once again. (5) This simple technique is so effective that obsessive dieters are tempted to use it again to reduce their food portions yet further. (6) Second, eat more protein (7) Eating protein helps you to feel full longer so that the same amount of food keeps you happy for a longer period of time. (8) This can help you to stop snacking between meals. (9) Finally, eat more soup. (10) Soups sit in your stomach for much longer than most other meals. (11) A good soup can make you feel full for up to 50% longer than many other meals. (12) This means that you can go for a few hours more without feeling hungry between meals. (13) Research shows that we do not remember what we eat when we concentrate on something else.

Up to now confessions that have been obtained from defendants in a hypnotic state have not been admitted into evidence by courts in the U.S. Experts in the field of hypnotic have found that such confessions are not completely reliable. Subjects in hypnotic state may confess to crimes they did not commit for one or two reasons. Either they fantasize that they committed the crimes or they believe that others want them to confess. A landmark case concerning a confession obtained under hypnotic went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

(1) ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… (2) The first and simplest tip of all is to reduce the portion size that you put on a plate. (3) Try dishing up about 80% of your normal portion sizes over a week or so. (4) When you no longer notice that the portions look smaller than they used to, try reducing the portion sizes by 80% - 90% once again. (5) This simple technique is so effective that obsessive dieters are tempted to use it again to reduce their food portions yet further. (6) Second, eat more protein (7) Eating protein helps you to feel full longer so that the same amount of food keeps you happy for a longer period of time. (8) This can help you to stop snacking between meals. (9) Finally, eat more soup. (10) Soups sit in your stomach for much longer than most other meals. (11) A good soup can make you feel full for up to 50% longer than many other meals. (12) This means that you can go for a few hours more without feeling hungry between meals. (13) Research shows that we do not remember what we eat when we concentrate on something else.

Stress is an experience that puts pressure or a requirement on us. That pressure means we have to adjust to our new situation or environment. Stress can last for a short period, as when a driver has to act to avoid having an accident, or, it can last longer, as when a woman is told she has a medical problem and thus must change her diet or daily routine in order to become well again. We all experience stress in different ways. Some people experience stress as just a nervous or busy feeling. Other people experience stress so strongly that it may cause them to seek professional help at a hospital. Still other people may die from experiencing so much stress that it leads to heart disease or other serious health related problems. Sometimes these health-related problems are physical, and other times they are psychological. Some people have a personality type that causes them to experience stress more than others. These people are often impatient, competitive, and aggressive and are always short on time. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

TEXT III

According to a study there has been a 39 percent increase in obese teenagers. This is due to many factors, although upbringing is a predominant influence. With two obese parents there in an 80 percent chance that a teen will be obese; 40 percent; and with lean parents only a 10 percent chance. Weight management is about long-term work with success that will last a lifetime. People who lose weight quickly by “crash” dieting or other extreme measures usually gain it all back or gain even more of the pounds they lost because they haven’t changed their eating habits. The best weight management strategies are those that you can maintain. It’s amazing how many extra calories are in sodas, juices and other drinks. Cutting out soda completely can save you 360 calories or more each day. Avoid diet soda too, because the artificial sweeteners tend to make some people hungry. Drink a lot of water. Switching from whole to non-fat or low-fat milk, soymilk or other sugar-free beverages is also a good idea. You may find that you don’t need to give up calories as much as you need to get off your behind. Try a variety of activities, such as hiking, cycling or rowing until you find one you like. Even the smallest lifestyle changes like walking to school or jogging up and down the stairs a couple of times before your morning shower can really make difference. Your goal should be to work up to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise at least 3 to 5 times a week, but it’s fine to start out by simply taking a few turns around the block before bed. Lots of teens eat when they’re bored, lonely or stressed, or keep eating long after they’re full simply out of habit. It takes about 20 minutes for you brain to recognize how much is in your stomach, so if you slow down, it will prevent you from eating more than you need. Take a break before refilling your plate for seconds, and avoid eating when you feel upset or bored. Don’t tell yourself you’ll “never” eat your absolute favorite peanut butter chocolate ice cream or a bag of potato chips. Making these foods forbidden is sure to make you want them even more. Besides, you need to have some fat in your diet to stay healthy, so giving up all fatty foods all the time isn’t a good idea anyway. Being healthy is really about being at the right weight for you. 5.

TEXT IV

We know that doctors and other health-care workers are meticulous about washing their hands. What about their clothes? A recent New York Times article highlighted growing concerns in the US about the role that doctors’ garments play in the spread of bacteria. According to the newspaper, the discussion was repeated this year in the US when the British National Health Service imposed ‘bare below the elbows’ rule. It does not allow doctors to wear ties and long sleeves, both of which are known to accumulate germs as doctors move from patient to patient. The article reported a study from the New York Hospital Medical Centre of Queens that compared the ties of 40 doctors and medical students with those of 10 security guards. It found that about half the ties worn by medical personnel were a reservoir for germs, compared with just one in 10 of the ties taken from security guards. When asked about the subject of doctors’ clothes and their possible role in the spread of infections, most local doctors, and some hospitals, declined to comment. Associate Professor Dale Fisher, the Chairman of infection control said that ties and other pieces of clothes are sometimes referred to as reservoirs for microorganism that may cause nosocomial infection (infection caught while staying in a hospital) but he added that the risk of infections from contaminated clothes needed to be put in perspective. 10.

Urban transport is a major problem in the countries of the European Union, where over 75% of the population lives in towns and cities. It is becoming increasingly difficult to reconcile individual needs and expectations of personal mobility with the preservation of the fabric of our cities and with the quality of life of their inhabitants. Transport is already one of the chief contributors to health and environmental problems in urban regions, and increasing levels of congestion mean that in some cities the average speed of traffic at peak times is slower than it was in the days of the horse and cart. In addition, exhaust fumes are a major contributor to rising levels of CO 2 emissions in the atmosphere, as well as being a source of carbon monoxide and particulate matter. With experts forecasting an increase of 30% in the total number of kilometers travelled by 2030, urban transport systems have to face the challenge of meeting citizens’ needs for mobility through the development of innovative and sustainable methods of transport. ……………………… 1.

Up to now confessions that have been obtained from defendants in a hypnotic state have not been admitted into evidence by courts in the U.S. Experts in the field of hypnotic have found that such confessions are not completely reliable. Subjects in hypnotic state may confess to crimes they did not commit for one or two reasons. Either they fantasize that they committed the crimes or they believe that others want them to confess. A landmark case concerning a confession obtained under hypnotic went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court. In the case of Layra v Dinno, a suspect was hypnotized by a psychiatrist for the district attorney; in posthypnotic state the suspect signed three separate confessions to a murder. ………………

A new study, published Thursday in Science, makes a strong case that theory is the right one. A team of anthropologists from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, developed a battery of learning tests they call the Primate Cognition Test Battery, and gave it to 106 chimps, 105 children and 32 orang-utans, to compare the groups directly on physical and social learning. Says Esther Hermann, a co-author of the paper: “It’s the first time anything like this has been done.” The three groups performed about equally well on physical learning – locating hidden objects, figuring out the source of a noise, understanding the concepts of more and less, using a stick to get something that’s out of reach. And indeed, the kids were of an age – 2½ years old – where it’s widely known that they do perform about as well as chimps in such tests. So for example, the scientists would hide a treat of some kind – a toy, or some food – behind a box, while the test subjects looked on, the kids, chimps and orang-utans would have to be sophisticated enough to know that the object disappearing from view didn’t mean it stopped, and had to be able to figure out where it had gone. All three groups did equally well at this sort of thing. 5.

TEXT IV

Whether it’s the melodic sound of an Eric Clapton solo or the growl of a heavy metal band, the electric guitar has influenced popular music and culture more than any other instrument. Rock’s greatest musicians have always been closely identified with their guitars. But instruments being designed for tomorrow’s pop stars may look and sound rather different from today’s familiar electric and acoustic guitars. Since the time when the electric guitar was invented, there have been incredible changes to the technical design of the instrument. From what was once a rounded wooden box with a hole in the front, the guitar has evolved into the smooth solid body of the rock guitarist’s ‘axe’. The most modern guitars are really computer-controlled synthesizers. Adolph Rickebacker’s Electro String Company produced the world’s first electric guitar. It was made of wood and played on the user’s lap. The first real breakthrough in design came in 1950 when Leo Fender, a Californian radio repairman, made the first solid-bodied electric guitar, the Fender Telecaster. Soon after the inventor Les Paul made the famous Gibson Les Paul. Fender launched its stylish Stratocaster two years later. The guitars became standard instruments against which newer guitar designs are measured. All sorts of different materials have been used to make guitars. Acoustic guitars are made from wood, which gives a soft tone. Wood is also a popular material in electric guitar manufacture, but more modern materials such as glass and carbon fiber are also used. There have also been guitars with metal bodies and necks though these were never popular with players, who claim metal feels cold in the hand. Plastics, on the other hand, have been more used in guitar bodies. A company that makes parts for the aerospace industry has begun to use a kind of fiberglass that was originally used in helicopter blades to make the bodies for its electric-acoustic instruments. As long as scientist and musicians work together harmoniously, the electric guitar will continue to benefit from technological innovations. But for all the efforts of the guitar companies’ design engineers, production managers and quality controller, it’s the musicians who finally make the instruments sing-and not necessarily in the way the guitar maker intended. 10.

TEXT III

Sometimes experience in other countries can help people to understand their own identity better. Mahatma Gandhi was born 1869 at Portandar in Western India. After studying in India, he dreamt of going to England to study. He was told that his Hindu religion did not allow voyages abroad. However, Gandhi was very determined and he finally left for England in 1887. At first he tried to learn to behave like an English gentleman, but he soon learnt that it was better to be himself. He studied law in London, qualifying in 1891. He also learnt about other religions. He returned home to India and worked as a lawyer for two years. After some problems, he was offered a job in South Africa. Here he experienced racism as a member of the Indian community. He decided to fight for the rights of Indians using “passive resistance”. He had three main beliefs, namely non-violence, religious tolerance and truth. When he finally returned to India in 1915, he became a great political leader. During the fight for independence he was often put in prison, but his beliefs never changed. Gandhi had studied in Britain, so he understood the British better than they understood him. Gandhi’s leadership led to independence, but, on Independence Day, 15 August, 1947, Gandhi refused to celebrate. He was in favor of Hindu-Muslim unity but Muslims and Hindus could not agree, so a separate Muslim state was formed in Pakistan. In 1948, Gandhi started fasting to death as a protest against fighting between India and Pakistan. He was assassinated by a Hindu fanatic on 30th January 1948. India and Pakistan are still fighting in Kashmir today. The fight for independence was a difficult one, but not as difficult as the fight for non-violence, religious tolerance and truth. 5.

TEXT IV

The most important thing that keeps a family together is the faith of each member that when he or she has something to say, the others will listen. You shouldn’t have to yell in order to be heard. You should be able to say, “I went downtown today and I saw these interesting people,” and give an account of your day, and the others should pay attention. This sort of everyday storytelling is what holds people together. We can endure terrible hardships if we get to tell somebody about them. Authoritarian fathers get in the way of storytelling and so do over anxious mothers and jealous brothers and sisters, but mostly what defeats us is noise and busyness. The people around us deserve our best attention sometimes, and then we have to shut the world out. Turn off the television. Turn off the radio. Don’t read the newspaper. Live a smaller life. The television is full of trash, the radio is full of noise and nonsense, and the newspaper is full of horrors and disasters and stories about terrible things done by other people’s children – and all of it an open invitation to be self-righteous; those weren’t our children who beat up the old lady and put her in the hospital. Worst of all, the media tend to remove us from direct experience. When we are fascinated by television and accept it as reality, the real world pales. American children don’t want to go on trips to strange places because it will mean missing their favourite shows. What a pity. We have more information than any other people in history, and we need a little less of it and a little more experience. The terrible danger of the media is their power to diminish our pleasure in the ordinary day. The richness and the goodness of a simple landscape and ordinary small talk and stories. 10.

TEXT I

Third World countries often mistakenly decide to permit rapid industrialization. When this industrialization occurs, many new factories open, and workers get jobs. Unfortunately, many of these new jobs are not permanent. The leaders of an industry want their factories to be as productive as possible, and they will do anything to achieve that goal. Whenever they can, they take advantage of automation, which means that workers are replaced by a more efficient machine. 1.

The main information of the text tells us about …

2.

(A) rapid economic growth in developing countries (B) the advantage and disadvantage of industrialization (C) the importance of automation for Third World countries (D) the advantage of automation for leaders of industries (E) automation which is the best way to get maximum profit

Which of the following sentences is the best concluding sentences for the text? (A) Thus, industrialization can boost Third World countries’ economic growth. (B) In short, many employees have the opportunity to get new jobs. (C) Therefore, there is an increase in employees’ standard of living. (D) As a result, automation may increase the rate of unemployment. (E) To conclude, industrialists can better share their profit with employees.

Archaeologists disagree as to exactly what constitutes a city. There have been many attempts at definition, but none has been entirely satisfactory. Nevertheless, archaeologists have established a number of characteristics which mark the true urbanization. These characteristics include a permanent settlement, a specialization of skills and functions among the inhabitants, the development of a characteristic style of architecture, the construction of public buildings, and the reaching of a certain population size. … 3.

4.

The main idea of this paragraph is that… (A) none of the definitions of a city has been satisfactory (B) archaeologists have agreed as to what exactly constitutes a city (C) a city must include permanence of settlement (D) certain characteristics mark true urbanization (E) an area must reach a certain size to become a city

(A) These factors do not need to exist at the same time for a community to be regarded as urban (B) However, the main characteristic of a city is the construction of public buildings (C) Therefore, it is difficult for archaeologists to determine whether a discovered area was a city (D) To conclude, the definition of a city is based on which of the above characteristics an area has (E) Only by having all those characteristics can an area be called a true city

TEXT III

A difficult problem that the society has is the legalization of euthanasia – the act of causing death painlessly in order to end suffering. People who are in a coma because of injury to their brains and elderly people who are terminally ill are being kept alive by artificial means. They do not have a chance to recover, but laws in most states of the United States do not allow doctors to end their lives. Although many people feel that doctors must do everything possible to keep their patients alive, I believe that euthanasia should be legal for three reasons. The first and most important reason to support euthanasia is that some patients who have no chance to recover do not wish to be kept alive on machines. These patients are kept alive by life-support machines such as respirators to help them breathe and feeding tubes to provide them with nutrition. A well-known example in the United States is the case of Teri Schiavo, a young woman who went into a coma in 1990. Mrs. Schiavo was able to breathe on her own, but her brain was dead. For fifteen years, she was kept alive by a feeding tube. He said that his wife had told him that she would not want to be kept alive artificially when there was no hope of recovery. Mrs. Schiavo’s parents disagreed with Mr. Schiavo and fought to keep their daughter alive. After seven years of bitter court battles, Mr. Shiavo finally won. Doctors removed Mrs. Shiavo’s feeding tube, and she soon died. Clearly, when there is absolutely no hope of recovery, society should allow a person to die if that is her or his wish. A second reason is that medical costs in the United States were very high. Keeping a person alive for years requires round-the-clock care in a hospital. According to an administrator at a local hospital, a daily hospital room charges average $ 5.000 there. This high cost can cause serious financial problems for a family. The final reason is that the family suffers. Hospital staffs give terminally ill patients only minimal care. Thus, the family must spend time caring for the special needs of their loved one. For instance, a cousin of mine who had been in a motorcycle accident was kept on life-support machines for eight years. Someone had to stay with him twenty-four hours a day. During those years, his parents took turns taking care of him. Other family members tried to help out when they could, but his parents did most of the physical work and suffered most of the emotional stress. After he finally dead, my aunt said, “Of course, I am sad, but since we all knew he would eventually die, it might have been better if it had happened right when he had the accident. These past eight years have been hard.” To summarize, patients who are either terminally ill or who are in an irreversible coma often wish to die. Their care is a financial, physical, and emotional burden for their families. Therefore, families should have the right to ask doctors to turn off life-support machines or to remove feeding tubes. 5.

Concerning euthanasia, that author thinks that …

7.

(A) it should be legalized in any circumstances (B) the family, not the law, decides if it is to be performed (C) doctors should perform it when the patient wishes to die (D) it should be legalized under certain conditions (E) it is the answer to relieve a social burden of the patient’s family 6.

The least important reason the author argues is that… (A) the patient’s family suffers because of the hospital staff’s indifference (B) doctors and nurses do not really care about their patients (C) when somebody is ill, the family has to take turns caring for them (D) the parents of the terminally ill patient suffer a lot (E) the family suffers the most although they know the patient will not recover 98

TEXT IV

Paper is different from other waste products because it comes from trees. Unlike plastic and metal waste products, which cannot disintegrate, paper is biodegradable – it can be broken down into substances by the action of bacteria, and are not harmful to the environment. While 45 out of every 100 tones of wood fibre used to make paper in Australia comes from waste paper, the rest comes from virgin fibre from forests and plantations. By world standards this is a good performance since the world-wide average is 33 per cent waste paper. Governments have encouraged waste paper collection and sorting schemes and at the same time, the paper industry has responded by developing new recycling technologies that have paved the way for even greater utilization of used fibre. As a result, industry’s use of recycled fibres is expected to increase at twice the rate of virgin fibre over the coming years. Already, waste paper constitutes 70% of paper used for packaging and advances in the technology required to remove ink from the paper have allowed a higher recycled content in newsprint and writing paper. To achieve the benefits of recycling, the community must also contribute. We need to accept a change in the quality of paper products; for example, stationery may be less white and of rougher texture. There also needs to be support from the community for waste paper collection programs. Not only do we need to make the paper available to collectors but it also needs to be separated into different types and sorted from contaminants such as staples, paperclips, string and other miscellaneous items. There are technical limitations to the amount of paper which can be recycled and some paper products cannot be collected for re-use. These include paper in the form of books and permanent records, photographic paper and paper which is badly contaminated. The four most common sources of paper for recycling are factories and retail stores which gather large amounts of packaging material in which goods are delivered, also offices which have unwanted business documents and computer output, paper converters and printers and lastly households which discard newspapers and packaging material. The paper manufacturer pays a price for the paper and may also have to pay the collection cost. 10. The appropriate title for the text is …

The earliest existing writ ten black literature in America was Lucy Terry's poem “Bars Fight,” written in 1746. Other eighteenth-century black poets include Jupiter Hammond and George Moses Horton. The first American to publish a book in American was Phill is Wheatley. Black poetry also flourished in the nineteenth-century, during which the writings of almost forty poets were printed, the most notable of whom was Paul Laurence Dunbar, the first black American to achieve national acclaim for his work. Dunbar published eight volumes of poetry and eight novels and collections of stories. 1.

TEXT III

Generally, by people’s own accounts, the public idea of women at home is that they are dull and boring. And the stereotype of a working woman is of hard, ambitious, selfish creatures. It is not just that you are either gentle and dull or selfish and interesting. It is that you are either a good mother or you are an interesting woman. ‘Young women now seem to get a very clear picture that they have got a choice. If they are going to do mothering well, they have got to pay for it by not being interesting women. If you are an interesting working woman, you are a bad mother.’ Lyn Richards puts the blame for such notions and for resulting family tensions on the failure of people to talk enough about them. The media, too, are guilty. ‘There is a lot of media coverage of successful career women and still a lot, especially in women’s magazines, on the joys of motherhood. There’s not that much about the trouble of either role and precious little about combining the roles. Yet half the women who are married in our society are working.’ Nor is much thought given to the task loosening the ties entrapping men. Lyn Richards, a working mother, grateful for the privilege of genuinely choosing and being able to afford the role, criticizes the systematic exclusion of men from ‘child rearing and the really pretty fabulous aspects of having children’. She condemns as ludicrous the idea of the 9 to 5 treadmill of work as an absolute duty for men. ‘The sheer irony to me is that the women’s movement has told women the way to be liberated is to get into the 9 to 5 tied work force that men have been fighting against for a century. Really we should be using changes in women’s values to shake up all the oppression and rigidity that men have been under.’ Indeed, there has been a change. ‘The new thing since I married is that it’s normal for both husband and wife to go on working when they marry. Now marriage isn’t a particularly big deal. Very often in just legalizes something which has been going on anyway and it certainly doesn’t change a women’s whole basis of life, her notion of who she is. The real life change is having the first child and when that happens I think that probably most couples are still reverting to something like the traditional concept of marriage. But the longer people put off having a child the more likely it is that they won’t because they have set up a viable life style. They don’t need to have kids now to have a good marriage.’ Not that motherhood and raising families are wholly going out of fashion but rather that people are having smaller families. Consequently, the period in a woman’s life when she is not required to devote herself to mothering is lengthening. ‘Motherhood – the mother role – just isn’t a very good identity base today.’ Lyn Richards says. ‘Motherhood is a short term appointment now. It doesn’t last long.’ 5.

TEXT IV

We often think it very funny if a film shows a woman or a girl screaming and running in fright at the sight of a mouse or a cockroach. But we don’t consider our own little, secret fears a laughing matter. Perhaps you shiver at the sight of a snake or an eel, cannot bear to hear the sound of jagged metal rubbing against metal, or feel uneasy in a lift. Fortunately, most of us suffer only a mild form of fright about certain things. According to psychiatrists, this is quite normal. It becomes a problem only when the fear develops into a mental condition that affects all aspects of a person’s life. Studies of thousands of people with an abnormal dread show that every time they think about – or come into contact with – the subject of their fear, they show all the physical of a person who is facing serious danger: a racing heart, dry mouth, cold sweat and weak knees. Doctors and psychiatrists welcome publicity about phobias, for this helps to convince their patients that their fears are not unique. It reassures the patients to know that there are other people who are afraid of the same thing, and it makes the patients more willing to try to understand what is causing their fear. Once they realize what in their subconscious is causing their fear, they are half-way to being cured. Psychiatrists believe that these unreasonable fears are caused by deep-seated reasons, perhaps a terrifying experience during childhood. One typical case was Mrs. Mary Batchelor, a London housewife, who suffered from agoraphobia (fear of open spaces). For twenty-three years, she remains indoors. Following publicity about other agoraphobia cases, she was persuaded to go out for the first time to watch her son perform with a pop group. Most of us suffer from claustrophobia (fear of being in closed spaces) in a mild way, but the real sufferers go about in great fear of being trapped without escape in a lift, in a packed train or in an aircraft. Altogether, there are a hundred and thirty phobias listed in the medical dictionary, ranging from acrophobia (fear of heights) to xenophobia (morbid dislike of foreigners). Some phobias are very odd indeed. There are cases of people who turn cold with terror at the sight of a cabbage leaf, run away in fright at the sight of a bird or faint when they hear a dog bark. There was even a man who refused to eat anything that he knew had been touched by someone who had handled matches. 10.
