A newspaper makes its money from the price people pay for it and also from the
advertisings it carries. A popular newspaper with a circulation of over five million daily
makes a lot of money. Less seriously newspapers are probably read just for entertainment.
They have big headings above new stories, funny cartoons to look at and sensational
photos of violent. The gossip columns are full of stories of private lives of famous people.
No one takes the political views of such papers seriously. On the other hand, in a free
country where there is no censorship, serious papers are read principle for their news,
sent to them by their correspondents round the world and by the big news agencies.
People also read these papers for their revisions of new books, films and plays and for
their editorials that represent the opinion of the newspaper itself about the important
events and issues of the moment.

numbered boxes provided. (10 pts)
THE BODY CLOCK
Why is it that flying to New York from London will leave you feeling less tired
than flying to London from New York? The answer may be a clear case of biology not
being able to keep up with technology. Deep inside the brain there is a “clock” that
governs every aspect of the body’s functioning: sleep and wake cycles, levels of alertness,
performance, mood, hormone levels, digestion, body temperature and so on. It regulates
all of these functions on a 24-hour basis and is called the circadian clock (from the Latin,
circa “about” + dies “day”).
This body clock programmes us to be sleepy twice a day, between 3-5 a.m and
again between 3-5 p.m. Afternoon tea and siesta times are all cultural responses to our
natural biological sleepiness in the afternoon.
One of the major causes of the travelers’ malady known as jet lag is the
nonalignment of a person’s internal body clock with clocks in the external world.
Crossing different time zones confuses the circadian clock, which then has to adjust to
the new time and patterns of light and activity. To make matters more complex, not all
internal body functions adjust at the same rate. So your sleep/wake may adjust to a new
time zone at one rate, while your temperature adjusts at a different pace. Your digestion
may be on a different schedule altogether.
Though we live in a 24-hour day, the natural tendency of the body clock is to extend
our day beyond 24 hours. It is contrary to our biological programming to shrink our day.
That is why travelling in a westward direction is more body-clock friendly than flying
east. NASA studies of long haul pilots showed that westward travel was associated with
significantly better sleep quantity and quality than eastward flights.

8. 8
When flying west, you are “extending” your day, thus travelling in the natural
direction of your internal clock. Flying eastward will involve “shrinking” or reducing
your day and is in direct opposition to your internal clock’s natural tendency.
One of the more common complaints of travelers is that their sleep becomes
disrupted. There are many reasons for this: Changing time zones and schedules, changing
light and activity levels, trying to sleep when your body clock is programmed to be
awake, disruption of the internal circadian clock and working longer hours.
Sleep loss, jet lag and fatigue can seriously affect our ability to function well.
Judgment and decision-making can be reduced by 50%, attention by 75 percent, memory
by 20 percent and communication by 30 percent.
It is often suggested that you adjust your watch as soon as you board a plane,
supposedly to try to help you adjust to your destination’s schedule as soon as you arrive.
But it can take the body clock several days to several weeks to fully adjust to a new time
zone.
1. The main function of the body clock is to________
A. help us sleep. B. help us adapt to a 24-hour cycle.
C. regulate the body’s functions. D. govern all the body’s responses.
2. The word “It” refers to________
A. the programme B. the body clock C. the function D. the brain
3. Jet lag________
A. makes our body clock operate badly B. causes our body clock to change
C. extends the hours of our body clock D. upsets our body’s rhythms

A. feeling B. bore C. illness D. thought
5. The direction you fly in________
A. extends or shrinks your body clock
B. alters your body’s natural rhythms
C. helps you sleep better
D. affects the degree of jet lag
6. According to the article________
A. jet lag can affect different abilities differently.
B. flying seriously affects your judgment and decision-making.
C. travelers complain about the negative effects of flying.
D. various factors stop us sleeping when we fly.
7. On the subject of avoiding jet lag the article________
A. suggests changing the time on your watch.
B. proposes gradually adjusting your body clock.
C. says there is nothing you can do.
D. makes no suggestions.

B. Travelers’ attention is reduced by 75 percent.
C. Travelers fly in the natural direction of their internal clock.
D. The traveler’s internal circadian clock has to adjust to patterns of light and
activity.

A. there are more travelers in westward flights than in eastward ones.
B. westward travelers become friendlier than eastward ones.
C. travelers have to spend more money flying westward than eastward.
D. travelers do not sleep as well in eastward flights as in westward ones.

TERROR IN THE MOUNTAINS
A. What is incredibly beautiful yet absolutely terrifying and deadly at the same
time? For anyone above the snowline in the mountains, there is little doubt about the
answer. Avalanche – the word strikes fear into the heart of any avid skier or climber. For
those unfortunate enough to be caught up in one, there is virtually no warning or time to
get out of danger and even less chance of being found. The ‘destroyer’ of the mountains,

10. 10
avalanches can uproot trees, crush whole buildings, and bury people metres deep under
solidified snow. Around the world, as more and more people head to the mountains in
winter, there are hundreds of avalanche fatalities every year.
B. A snow avalanche is a sudden and extremely fast-moving ‘river’ of snow which
races down a mountainside (there can also be avalanches of rocks, boulders, mud, or
sand). There are four main kinds. Loose snow avalanches, or sluffs, form on very steep
slopes. These usually have a ‘teardrop’ shape, starting from a point and widening as they
collect more snow on the way down. Slab avalanches, which are responsible for about
90% of avalanche-related deaths, occur when a stiff layer of snow fractures or breaks off
and slides downhill at incredible speed. This layer may be hundreds of metres wide and
several metres thick. As it tends to compact and set like concrete once it stops, it is
extremely dangerous for anyone buried in the flow. The third type is an isothermal
avalanche, which results from heavy rain leading to the snowpack becoming saturated
with water. In the fourth type, air mixes in with loose snow as the avalanche slides,
creating a powder cloud. These powder snow avalanches can be the largest of all, moving
at over 300kmh, with 10,000,000 or more tons of snow. They can flow along a valley
floor and even a short distance uphill on the other side.
C. Three factors are necessary for an avalanche to form. The first relates to the
condition of the snowpack. Temperature, humidity, and sudden changes in weather
conditions all affect the shape and condition of snow crystals in the snowpack which, in
turn, influences the stability of the snowpack. In some cases, weather causes an
improvement in avalanche conditions. For example, low temperature variation in the
snowpack and consistent below-freezing temperatures enable the crystals to compress
tightly. On the other hand, if the snow surface melts and refreezes, this can create an icy
or unstable layer.
D. The second vital factor is the degree of slope of the mountain. If this is below
25 degrees, there is little danger of an avalanche. Slopes that are steeper than 60 degrees
are also unlikely to set off a major avalanche as they ‘sluff’ the snow constantly, in a
cascade of loose powdery snow which causes minimal danger or damage. This means
that slabs of ice or weaknesses in the snowpack have little chance to develop. Thus, the
danger zone covers the 25- to 60-degree range of slopes, with most avalanches being slab
avalanches that begin on slopes of 35 to 45 degrees.
E. Finally, there is the movement or event that triggers the avalanche. In the case
of slab avalanches, this can be a natural trigger, such as a sudden weather change, a falling
tree or a collapsing ice or snow overhang. However, in most fatal avalanches, it is people
who create the trigger by moving through an avalanche-prone area. Snowmobiles are
especially dangerous. On the other hand, contrary to common belief, shouting is not a big
enough vibration to set off a landslide.

PART IV. WRITING (60 pts)
Section 1. Summarize the following article about the reasons for child abuse in
not more than 120 words. (10pts)
The childhood years are supposed to be the best times of one's life; playing and
having fun. Yet there are many children who are deprived of this childhood. They are
tortured and verbally and physically abused.

13. 13
There is no reason or excuse for child abuse. Abusers claim they do it because of
the stress of work. Child-abusing housewives way they feel harassed by a crying child
and are unable to curb their own fury, especially if no support is received from anyone.
This is not surprising since support is extended to a victim of child abuse more readily
than to the perpetrator. Occasionally, parents may vent their frustrations on their child if
they fight and quarrel with each other. In cases like there, it is the children who are the
victims.
In this modern age where both parents are usually holding jobs, children are left
with babysitters and nurseries. Abuse by these carers may occur when there are too many
children to be minded. The disappearance of the extended family system is partly to be
blamed for these incidents.
Crowded homes and financial problems can also lead to child abuse. When there
are too many mouths to feed, parents feel the pressure and vent their anger on a child.
Substance abuse is another factor which increases the incidents of child abuse. Under the
influence of alcohol or drugs, a parent many not know what he or she may be doing. Or,
rather, knows what he or she is doing but is not bothered at all. A drug addict many
experience mood swings and is easily provoked by a crying baby. Thus we see and read
horrifying reports of a child being savagely tortured and dumped elsewhere, like garbage.
Psychologists believe that child abusers may have been victims of abuse themselves.
Thus, in anger and hatred, they repeat the vicious cycle of abuse. Some have no love for
the children they abuse. Some have been brought up to believe that children should be
beaten in order to maintain control. These are troubled people who need help.
A home is supposed to be a haven where a child ought to feel safe and secure.
Unfortunately, more often than not, the home is also where a child is abused. Whatever
the reasons for the abuse, something must be done to stop the cruelty and help these
parents who simply cannot cope with parenting. Parents-to-be should be counseled and
inculcated with parenting skills. The Child Protection Act which was passed in
Parliament in 1991 does not effectively prevent child abuse. Stricter enforcement is
necessary. Thus. it requires a commitment from each individual to help families with
victims. and troubled parents, the perpetrators.
Section 2. Table description (20pts)
The table below gives information about languages with the most native speakers.

Section 2.
Rob: Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English. I'm Rob and
with me is Finn.
Finn: …
Rob: Finn? Are you ok?
Finn: (breathes out) Ahhh… 49 seconds… I was just… holding my breath!
Rob: A new hobby of yours, Finn?
Finn: Well today… we're talking about people living underwater – so I thought I could
do with some practice.
Rob: Ok – well you get your breath back. Today, we'll be hearing about scientists who
broke the world record for time spent underwater – they spent an incredible 31 days
under the waves! And we'll be learning some related vocabulary too. Ready now, Finn?
Finn: Yes – I think so. And are you ready for this week's question?
Rob: Hit me with it.
Finn: This week's question is… what is the longest time a human being has held their
breath underwater for? Is it:
12 minutes
18 minutes
22 minutes
Rob: I'm going to go for b) 18 minutes.
Finn: I'll tell you if you're right or wrong at the end of the programme, but… don't hold
your breath!
Rob: Haha. Don't hold your breath – a phrase which means 'don't expect that a particular
good thing will happen'. Anyway – what about these scientists – did they hold their

19. 5
breath for 31 days?
Finn: Haha – no – but they did live underwater in a laboratory. That's a room or building
with scientific equipment for doing tests.
Rob: One of the men was Fabien Cousteau, who's an oceanographer – someone who
studies the oceans. He's the grandson of Jacques Cousteau – a Frenchman who held the
previous record of 30 days underwater.
Finn: Fabien said he wanted to break his grandfather's record to raise awareness of
ocean conservation – protecting and looking after the ocean.
Rob: Well he's raised our awareness at least. Now I'm interested in how they lived
underwater. Listen to Fabien talking about the laboratory called Aquarius. Which word
does he use to say that the lab is completely underwater?
Fabien Cousteau (Oceanographer): Aquarius is very unique in that it's the only
undersea marine laboratory – it gives us a unique platform from which to live and
explore this final frontier on our planet.
Finn: He called it an undersea laboratory. ‘Undersea’ is, as you might guess a word
similar to underwater. It means under the sea.
Rob: And he called this undersea world 'the final frontier'. It's an interesting phrase – it
comes from the Star Trek television series, which called space the final frontier – the last
place that humans have not yet travelled to, the last place to explore.
Finn: And apparently this laboratory was 18 metres under the sea in Florida... and being
there allowed them to spend less time diving and more time observing marine life.
Rob: Marine life – that means 'of the sea', so marine life means sea life, plants and
animals that live in the sea. They were particularly interested in investigating the effects
of pollution on coral.
Finn: Now, I know they did this to raise awareness of marine conservation. But what I'm
really interested in is what life was like for them. What was it like to live underwater for
so long?
Rob: Surprisingly, perhaps, life there wasn't too bad. They had air conditioning, hot
water and internet access!
Finn: Though I do know that Fabien struggled with one aspect. Listen to him to find out
what:
Fabien Cousteau (Oceanographer): Unfortunately for me, as a French person, the food
will also be simulated – freezedried, astronaut type of food, canned foods – things like
that, so it's a horror show for me.
Rob: Poor Fabien. He said the food was pretty awful. Maybe it was English food?!
Finn: Probably – as a Frenchman he wasn't impressed by the freeze-dried food – that
means food that is quickly frozen and dried – to preserve it.
Rob: Yes, he thought it was astronaut style food – the sort of food you would eat as an
astronaut – someone who travels into space!
Finn: And coming back to dry land they had to spend 16 hours decompressing.

20. 6
Rob: That's very important. Divers have to decompress – to return to their original body
pressure – when they come out of the water.
Finn: Sounds like a long time to wait for a good meal! So Rob – what do you think?
Would you like to live underwater for a month?
Rob: Absolutely not. I'd get very claustrophobic in those small spaces.
Finn: Anyway – let's see if you got this week's question right. I asked you what you
thought the world record for holding your breath for underwater was.
Rob: I went for 18 minutes.
Finn: Actually is was even longer than that. 22 minutes, 0 seconds by Stig Severinsen
from Denmark. Stig was allowed to hyperventilate – breathe fast and deeply using
oxygen before the attempt. Please don't try this at home! Well, that brings us to the end
of today's 6 Minute English. We hope you’ve enjoyed today’s underwater programme.
Please join us again soon. Bye.
Rob: Bye.
Section 3.
Richard: Hi, Linda, did you have a nice holiday?
Linda: Yes, I went to visit my aunt Cathy in Chase Village for a week.
Richard: Oh, you went to Chase Village? I know the place. My sister lives there.
How is the traffic there?
Linda: Not too bad. Why do you ask about the traffic?
Richard: You know, I went to the traffic 3 years ago. There was a lot of traffic in
Chase Village. People drove too fast. I had a very serious accident on Newland
Street. I was afraid to drive there, so I always try to avoid that road when I visit my
sister.
Linda: Things are changing no. You know, people put on their brakes and slow
down on New Land Street because they can see a police car there with a police
officer in it.
Richard: Oh, it’s good to have a policeman there because there were many accidents
that happened on that road. But the police officer wouldn’t be there all the time, so
some people wouldn’t be too careful about the police. Sometimes they just took a
risk.
Linda: You know, the police officer has been working on that road 24 hours a day,
seven days a week for a bout two and a half years now.
Richard: Oh, how can a policeman do this without any break?
Linda: No break at all.
Richard: How much does he get paid for the overtime work?
Linda: In fact, he doesn’t get any pay at all.

21. 7
Richard: What is his name? He must be a volunteer there but I can’t believe it.
Linda: His name is Officer Springirth. The police department put him to work there.
Richard: What do you mean? Why did police department put him to work there?
Linda: In fact, he isn’t a real man. He is a mannequin. Before he was put there,
people broke into 16 cars in two months in the village. When the police
department put Officer Springirth on that road there were no more break-ins
in that area.
Richard: I’m glad to hear it. I think the police department should put more
mannequins on other roads which often cause accidents.
Linda: It’s a good idea. You know, the crime rate in Chase Village is very low
compared to the neighbouring village.
Richard: So, the most important effect Officer Springirth has is reducing the crime
rate.
Linda: Exactly.
Richard: I will go to visit my sister next month so I will try that road again.
Linda: Yes, please do. You will see the changes.
Section 4
Man: And today I’m talking to Angela Morgan. Angela, what made you decide to fly
round the world in a helicopter?
Woman: People often ask me why I decided to do it but I’m surprised they don’t ask
“Why did you wait so long?” because I’m 57 now! I’m sorry I didn’t do it years ago,
because it was such a wonderful experience. But the main purpose for going was to collect
£500,000 for sick children by getting different companies to pay us money for each
kilometre that we flew.
Man: And now everyone calls you the flying grandmother!
Woman: Yes, the thing about growing older is that you don’t feel any different inside, so
you have to do as much as you can while you can. I’m healthy, and my own children are
grown up, so I was free to go.
Man: And what about preparing the trip?
Woman: Well, it took five months to plan. I was going to go with my husband, but he
couldn’t take time off work. Instead I made the trip with my flying teacher who became a
great friend while she was teaching me to fly three years ago. I passed my flying test after
two weeks; found it quite easy.
Man: And what was the trip like?
Woman: It was really exciting flying over so many different countries. The only thing
was that we weren’t able to spend much time sightseeing because we only stopped to get
water and to camp. We took very little with us, but we did have tents and cooking things
to use at night. We had to spend two days in Thailand because of an engine problem, but

22. 8
that was the longest we spent anywhere. Fortunately nothing else went wrong, so we just
kept on going after that.
Man: What did you enjoy most about the trip?
Woman: The most wonderful thing about flying was seeing the differences in the
countryside as we flew across 26 countries in 97 days. We flew over oceans and close to
mountains; sometimes it was quite frightening, but we didn’t travel when it was dark. We
spent several nights camping in the desert and the sky was just full of stars. I made a video
of the trip; you’ll see it in a minute.
Man: Was there anything that you missed while you were away?
Woman: Well, to my surprise I didn’t miss going to work or going out to restaurants or
films. The most difficult thing was sitting still all the time; I normally play tennis and
swim several times a week, so I started to feel very unfit. I missed hot water and proper
showers sometimes too, but not as much as I thought I would!
