MAKING THE MOST OF MUSEUMS
Nowadays there is an increasing emphasis on the idea of life-long education, that is to say, education that continues through the whole of adulthood. One way in (71) _______ adults can develop their interest in a new subject is to search the Internet. A potentially much richer way is to wander through a learning environment, such as a science museum, laid out in a systematic way to introduce visitors to particular subjects. (72) _______ the help of audio-visual aids, computer-assisted instruction and other devices, a museum can bring a subject alive in ways that compare favourably with a television programme, or a book. The kind of help that (73)_______ can give to adults can equally well be given to children, and to teachers (74) _______ pupils have come to the museum for specific purposes.
At a time when the demand for public accountability has never been greater, it is (75) _______ remembering that many museums receive substantial grants towards what is supposed to be stimulating educational provision for the general (76) _______. Museums accepting these grants, yet offering little more than the occasional public lecture, or very minimal help to schoolteachers (77) _______ at the museum with their pupils, therefore risk having such financial support severely cut back, or even withdrawn.

PART 3: For questions 81-90, read the following passage and write the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes on the answer sheet. (15 points)
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Consider these vastly different scenarios: in the first, an elderly bus driver who takes the exact same route each day greets his passengers with a warm smile on his face and entertains them throughout their long and tiring morning commute; in the second, a promising young college undergraduate takes a shotgun to his professor and mortally wounds him after the latter gives him a lower mark at a routine examination. [A] What can make such a highly intelligent individual commit such an irrational act? Conversely, how can such an average person be so courteous and professional on a routine day?
The answer lies in their emotional intelligence. Modern psychologists have determined that the key for success in life is not necessarily a high IQ, but the ability to control ones emotions and impulses, and put them to good use on a daily basis. While it is true that emotional intelligence is an inborn quality, the traits that account for it may be developed later in life through constant and persistent training.
The first step towards improving ones emotional IQ is the ability to immediately recognize ones true feelings about a certain event and to be able to change them if necessary. Most people are hardly ever aware of acting irritably and annoyed at work after being refused a promotion until someone points it out to them. [B] Becoming aware of ones unconscious reaction to an event and listening to their gut feeling can be developed through practice and will help people approach tasks with more confidence and likelihood of success.
Psychologists have observed that people who maintain a positive outlook on life have far greater chances of success than those who constantly dwell on failures and overanalyze what they did wrong. [C]The reason for their success is that optimists are likely to blame their misfortunes on an unhappy chain of events rather than on themselves and are able to motivate themselves to move on to their next task. The same holds true for world-class athletes and renowned musicians, who are able to motivate themselves to follow exhausting and often mindless training routines in order to achieve their goal.
There is no doubt that one cannot possibly maintain a can-do attitude throughout their entire life. Eventually, even a person in a generally positive frame of mind will be overcome by feelings of failure and self-doubt. [D] The difference lies in how long a bad mood lasts, and an individuals ability to shake it off and go back to his former happy self. There are several strategies for changing foul moods into good ones, but letting anger get the best of you is certainly not amongst them. Contrary to popular belief, giving in to rage and frustration and having angry outbursts does not calm people down, but pumps up the brain and leaves you even more furious than before. A better technique to control anger is to consciously view a situation from a more positive angle.
Self-control and emotional regulation requires a lot of practice and will power, but is proven to lead to more success later in life. Scientific studies have demonstrated that children who are able to resist temptation and control their impulses grow into socially more competent, confident and assertive adults, while their counterparts are likely to become more stubborn, indecisive and stressed. Refusing to give in to the pleasure of the moment in order to pursue a higher long-term goal is a sign of maturity and certain indicator of success.
The final ingredient in the overall make-up of ones emotional intelligence is empathy, or the ability to understand and react to other peoples feelings. An individual with strong interpersonal skills is more likely to have a large social network that he can rely on in case something should go wrong. It has been ascertained that people with many friends and acquaintances have it easier at finding a new job than those who lead a solitary life.
81. Why does the author describe the two situations in paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic of the reading passage
B. To criticize wrong behavior and praise good one
C. To compare and contrast two opposite behavioral patterns
D. To suggest a better way of dealing with stress in life
82. According to the information presented in paragraph 2, which of the people mentioned in paragraph 1 is more likely to be successful in life?
A. The bus driver because he has a higher emotional IQ.

C. Both of them because a high IQ does not necessarily indicate success.
D. None of them because one is average and the other irrational.
83. Which of the following terminology best replaces the information in the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?
A. People who are able to develop their inborn emotional intelligence are more successful later in life.

C. Not all people are born with emotional intelligence, but anybody can acquire one by practicing hard every day.

A. they never find fault with themselves.
B. they think they are better than anyone else.

B. Most people go through long periods of bad moods.

86. What do most people wrongly assume about controlling anger?

PART 4: Read the passage and do the following tasks. (15 points)
STARTING SCHOOL LATER HAS POSITIVE EFFECTS ON TEENS
A grow body of evidence demonstrates that descents benefit from more sleep. When school districts push back the start of the school day, good things happen.
With classes that start as early as 7 a.m and buses that pull up long before sunrise, some 80% of US children in grades 6 through 12 are not getting the recommended amount of sleep during the school year, according to research by the National Sleep Foundation, a sleep advocacy group. These early start times contribute to a myriad of problems. Exhausted children, studies suggest, not only struggle with mutability, but also with depression. They gain weight and their grades suffer, and many turn to caffeine, with questionable results for productivity and unknown effects on the development of young brains.
Now, fueled by accumulating research designed to sleep late and that delaying school start times even by just 30 minutes makes a huge difference in how well teens feel and perform, an increasing number of schools around the United States are starting the school day later than they used to. Many more are thinking about it. At the same time, however, there are strong pockets of resistance to change from administrators and parents who think that bus schedules will get too complicated, that starting later will interfere with after-school programs or that children will simply stay up later if they know they can sleep in a little more.
According to Kyla Wahistrom, director of the Center for Applied Research and Educational Improvement at the University of Minnesota, even though the two districts could not be more different in terms of race socioeconomics and other factors, changes in both places appeared immediately.
Some of the outcomes were quite significant. For instance, students were noticeably more alert in the first two periods of the day. In addition, the cafeteria was calmer, and there were fewer fights in the halls. Students, who were now getting nearly an hour more sleep each night, said they felt less depressed. Even parents told teachers they thought their kids were easier to live with.
The melatonin shift
Blame biology, not laziness, for making teens reluctant to get up in the morning. As children grow older and approach puberty, a period of important biological change, their bodies circulate melatonin, the hormone that brings on sleepiness, two hours later than before.
As a result, teens find it impossible to fall asleep until about 11 p.m., even if they try to go to bed earlier. Yet teenagers still need an average of 9.25 hours of slumber each night. On top of the shift in natural sleeping and waking times, there is also another factor. This is related to a period of intense sleepiness which hits both adults and adolescents during the early morning hours. In adults this low point in alertness hits between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m.; in adolescents, it falls between about 5 a.m. and 7.a.m. That means that, while their alarm clocks are telling teens to get out of bed and demanding that their brains perform, their bodies signal to them to keep sleeping.
In addition to the mood behavior and learning issues, scientists are starting to uncover more subtle ways in which such chronic lack of sleep can hurt children. Some studies, for example, show that sleep deprivation compromises the immune system. Others suggest that, with too little sleep, the body releases higher levels of hormones that induce hunger, possibly contributing to growing rates of obesity.
To stay awake, young people often turn to coffee, soda and other caffeinated beverages. In a public high school in the eastern US state of Massachusetts, 95% of polled students reported drinking caffeine in the prior two weeks, mostly in the form of soda as opposed to coffee and most often in the afternoon and evening hours, Dr Amy Wolfson and a colleague reported in Health Education and Behavior. According to Dr Wolfson, there are no published guidelines for how much caffeine is too much for adolescents. However, the substance stays in the body for up to five hours, which is three hours longer than originally thought, and is costing teens unknown hours of sleep. Even if caffeinated teens manage to fall asleep caffeine worsens the quality of their sleep. Finally, no one knows how caffeine might affect developing brains, although plenty of experts are concerned about the link between sugar in soda and weight gain.
For questions 91-95, decide whether each of the following statements is True (T), False (F) or Not Given (NG). Write T, F, or NG in the corresponding numbered boxes on the answer sheet.
91. Sleep deprivation among children in the US is a result of current school starting times.
92. Research indicates that most overweight children need more sleep.
93. Concerns about re-arranging bus timetables make some people oppose later school start times.
94. The two school districts in the Minnesota experiment had similar groups of students.
95. Parents and children in the two Minnesota school districts which were studied got along better than before.
For questions 96 -100, complete the notes below and fill in each space with NO MORE THAN A WORD/ OR A NUMBER taken from the passage. Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes on the answer sheet.

SECTION IV: WRITING (50 points)
PART 1: Read the following passage and use your own words to summarise it. Your summary should be about 140 words long. (20 points)
E-waste is being produced on a scale never seen before. Computers and other electronic equipment become obsolete in just a few years, leaving customers with little choice but to buy newer ones to keep up. Millions of tons of computers, TVs, smartphones, and other equipment are discarded each year. In most countries, all this waste ends up in landfills, where it poisons the environment – e-waste contains many toxic substances such as lead, mercury, and arsenic that leak into the ground.
Recycling is the ideal solution to the problem. E-waste contains significant amounts of valuable metals like gold and silver that make it attractive to recycle. In theory, recycling gold from old computers is more efficient – and less environmentally destructive – than digging it from the earth. The problem is that a large percentage of e-waste dropped off for recycling in wealthy countries is sold and diverted to the developing world, posing an increasing threat to the health of the people there.
To address the problem of the international trade in e-waste, 170 nations signed the 1989 Basel Convention, an agreement requiring that developed nations notify developing nations of hazardous waste shipments coming into their countries. Then, in 1995 the Basel Convention was modified to ban hazardous waste shipments to poor countries completely. Although the ban hasn’t taken effect, the European Union, where recycling infrastructure is well developed, has nearly written it into their laws. One law holds manufacturers responsible for the safe disposal of electronics they produce.
Companies like Creative Recycling Systems in Florida, the USA, are hoping to profit from clean e-waste recycling. The key to their business is a huge, building-size machine able to separate electronic products into their component materials. As the machine’s steel teeth break up e-waste, all the toxic dust is removed from the process. This machine can handle some 70,000 tons of electronics a year.
Although this is only a fraction of the total, it wouldn’t take many more machines like this to process the entire USA’s output of high-tech trash. Unfortunately, under current policies, domestic processing of e-waste is not compulsory, and while shipping waste abroad is ethically questionable, it is still more profitable than processing it safely in the USA. Creative Recycling Systems is hoping that the US government will soon create laws deterring people from sending e-waste oversea.
PART 2: Write an essay of about 250 words on the following topic. (30 points)
Some people believe that gender equality means men and women should share the same roles and responsibilities in all aspects of life. Others argue that biological and social differences should be considered when assigning roles.
Discuss both views and give your opinion.
