This document provides a summary of 3 passages from an English language test. The summaries are:
1. The first passage discusses how many major cities have large immigrant populations who have left their home countries and had to adapt to new places by finding new friends and dealing with new problems and languages.
2. The second passage talks about how more middle-aged adults in the US are caring for their aging parents, often in the same way they cared for their own children.
3. The third passage describes how the US is becoming a non-smoking society, with many public places and some companies prohibiting smoking.
- Many major cities today have large populations of recent immigrants who have moved from other countries. Adapting to a new place forces people to make new friends, face new challenges, and often learn a new language.
- More middle-aged adults are becoming caretakers of their aging parents as people live longer in the US. Adult children take care of their parents in the parents' homes, similar to how they cared for their own children.
- The author's intention is to describe how the US is increasingly regulating smoking through laws that control smoking in public places and private workplaces.
- Many major cities around the world have large populations of immigrants who have come from other countries. Adapting to life in a new place forces people to seek out new friends, face new problems, and often learn a new language.
- As people are living longer in the US, more middle-aged adults are becoming caretakers of aging parents who can no longer care for themselves. This role of "parent sitter" involves caring for parents similarly to how they cared for their own children.
- The US is becoming a non-smoking society as hundreds of cities and some entire states pass laws restricting the sale and use of cigarettes. Many private companies have also implemented policies restricting or prohibiting smoking by employees.

Talk given at Oxford Philosophy of Physics, LSE's Sigma Club, the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy, Carlo Rovelli's 60th birthday conference.
I construe dualities in physics as particular cases of theoretical equivalence. The question then naturally arises whether duality is compatible with emergence. For the the focus of emergence is on novelty rather than on equivalence.
In the first part of the talk, I review recent work dealing with this question. I exhibit two ways in which duality and equivalence can be made compatible, and I give an example of emergence in gauge/gravity dualities: dualities between a theory of gravity in (d+1) dimensions and a quantum field theory (QFT) in d dimensions.
In the second part of the talk, I present new results on the question whether diffeomorphisms in gravity theories emerge from QFTs. I critically assess the following idea, taken from the physics literature: given that (a) the QFT is not a diffeomorphism invariant theory, and that (b) there is a duality between the QFT and the gravity theory, are we entitled to (c) conclude that the diffeomorphisms of the gravity theory emerge from the QFT?
I argue that one must distinguish different kinds of diffeomorphisms: some diffeomorphisms are ‘invisible’ to the QFT: all of the QFT’s quantities are invariant under them, therefore the QFT does not ‘see’ them. But other diffeomorphisms are ‘visible’ to the QFT. The invisible diffeomorphisms prompt a ‘Bulk Argument’, in analogy with the Hole Argument. The analysis of emergence is different for these different kinds of diffeomorphisms, and I discuss the way in which we can speak of emergence of diffeomorphisms in gauge/gravity dualities.

Many major cities in the world today have large populations of people who have recently arrived; they have emigrated
from other countries. Perhaps you, too, have left a familiar place to come to a new city or a new country. Or you may
live in a city where there are large numbers of newcomers. Adapting to a new place forces people to seek out new
friends, face new problems, and often learn a new language.
1. The underlined word who is related to
A. cities.
B. people.
C. major.
D. countries.

People are living longer in the United States. As a result, more and more middle aged adults are becoming caretakers
of their aging parents. When their parents can no longer care for themselves, these adults stay at home to care for
them in much the same way they cared for their own children.
Playing the role of "parent sitter" is quite difficult and frustrating. For example, an aging parent may become blind. No
longer able to see, the old person needs his or her children to perform many every day jobs. Another example is the
parent who becomes brain damaged during the aging process. Natural roles are then reversed, as children are forced
to care for their parents as if their parents were children.

3. The United States is now becoming a non-smoking society. Across the country, hundreds of towns and cities, and even
entire states, are passing strict laws to control the sale and use of cigarettes. In New York, for example, smoking is
illegal in public buildings, hospitals, schools, banks, stores, movie theaters, taxi-cabs, and restrooms, to name a few
places. In addition, smoking is prohibited anywhere in the U.S. on airline flights that last two hours or less. And now
many private companies have also made rules prohibiting cigarette smoking. At least 40% of American companies
restrict smoking by their employees. Company policies are mostly of three kinds: they prohibit smoking by employees

We owe our nation's state park system to one of the world's most recognizable landmarks -Niagara Falls. By 1880, a
ring of industrial sites and man-made attractions had so completely choked off public access to the falls that the only
views from American soil were on private land. News of Niagara's plight spread when a group of artists and politicians
spearheaded a campaign to buy back the land, creating a preserve. Finally in 1885, after six years of legislative
wrangling, New York Governor David B. Hill dedicated the famous landmark "free to mankind", and our state park
system was born.
America's parks really took off in the 1930's when the country was booming with public works projects. The Civilian
Conservation Corps built camps and trails that gave Americans access to the outdoors. Now, there are more than
5.000 state parks, nearly ninety-five times the number of national parks. That means at least a few per state, or a short
drive for most families.
10. The underlined expression choked off can be replaced by

13 - 15 Folk Music
The drum music of Western Africa played an important role in communicating over long distances. Drummers used
tone and rhythm to send messages from village to village. Therefore, it was easy for people to get in contact with each
other. In Japan, a special type of music called Koto music had a different use. Musicians played the Koto to
accompany classical plays. One kind of music that was typical in Arabian countries was the Huda. It had a special
rhythm, which imitated the rhythm of a camel’s walk. Experts believe that Arabs thought this music would keep them

19 – 21 Zoos
Zoos are basically designed for human entertainment. People can learn little or nothing from seeing poor undignified
animals forced to go round and round in cages. Tests have shown that penned-up animals suffer high levels of stress

A few years ago, scientists videotaped mothers. reactions to young babies. They needed a baby for their research.
Although it was a boy, they dressed it in pink. They then gave it to several mothers to hold. Because the baby was
dressed in pink, everyone praised its appearance and said things like, "There’s a pretty girl". When the baby made a
noise, or moved, they tried to calm it down by saying, "Stop crying, darling".
The scientists then dressed the same baby in blue. In spite of the fact that it was the same baby, the mothers.

When you get up in the morning, you probably don’t think much about all the dangers you face even before you leave
the house. When people think of getting hurt, the first thing that comes to mind is a car or plane accident. The truth is,
however, that millions of people suffer serious injuries, and even death, in their own homes.
Falls on stairs account for 30% of all accidental deaths at home. And be careful as you plug in the toaster: many
people die from electrocution due to bad electrical wiring. In fact, you should think twice before biting into that piece of
toast, because statistics indicate that thousands of people die each year as a result of choking on food. With all these
