Passage 1         

            It’s important to make eye contact when you are conversing, and it’s one skill you must master if you are going to become a fully ‘active listener’. Avoiding eye contact sends out very strong messages to the person that you are speaking with that you don’t want to speak to them, that you feel inferior, that you lack of confidence, or (worse still) all three at once. It makes both ‘the avoider’ and ‘the avoided’ feel uncomfortable and it’s catching, resulting in the two of you desperately avoiding eye contact in an ever more tense conversation doomed to failure. An exchange like that would affect anyone’s confidence, so take a breath, break the cycle, and meet those eyes! If you find this very difficult, concentrate instead on every word the other saying. Forget about your eyes. In time, you will fall naturally into attentive eye contact, and the other person will reciprocate, making both of you feel more confident. Go with your instincts; when it feels natural to break eye contact for a second, it probably is the right time – don’t let your gaze tum into an unsettling stare. Feel free to look away for a moment when you are changing a subject, offering a verbal nod or when the other person does.

Passage 2

            Many think that computer games isolate children from the society and distract them from learning. Think again. Researchers have found that kids who clock up a lot of hours with console can improve their hand-eye coordination, their grip on science, even their IQ.

            A study of 700 children found that stimulation and adventure games such as Sim City and RollerCoaster Tycoon developed children’s strategic thinking and planning skills. A research by Peter Excell, head of computing and communications technology at Glyndwr University in Wales, suggests computer games are a great way to explain the basics of physics. (A weapon thrown in a game, for example, has to follow a certain trajectory, illustrating the laws of gravity.)

            Bishop John Robinson Primary School in Thamesmead, London, actually started a pilot project in September last year, using 16 Nintendo DS consoles running the Maths Training Game with a Year Five class – who were so engaged that other classes are now sharing the consoles and some students have asked their parents to buy the games to use at home.

Passage 3

            Many big companies find that the features that once attracted top candidates are no longer effective. Employers know that many things are far different than they were 10 years ago. Therefore, they are returning to college campuses with new strategies in search of the employees they need.

            Today employers’ needs have changed, so have the expectations of employees. Smart employers are adopting new employment strategies that not only help them attract this new breed of employees, but also prepare the new recruits to be productive in their first days on the job. Therefore many companies are more interested in the college community when seeking for the top candidates. They believe that relationships with colleges and universities are the key to getting the best students in a tight labor market.

            For example, Lotus Development Corporation sends the company’s representatives to attend universities’ conferences and seminars and encourages its executives to teach classes at universities where the company recruits. “We actively cultivate relationships with professors and university and show that we are truly interested in the students’ future” says Lotus’s officer. “To not do these things and be there when we only need employees would make us appear insincere.

Passage 4

            France has banned unhealthy thin models as part of a new law targeting unrealistic body images and eating disorders. In this case, models must provide a doctor’s certificate to prove that their health and body mass index (BMI) are in the healthy level.

            The measurement will be compared to the World Health Organization (WHO)’s definitions of underweight to decide whether a model is certified, although a minimum BMI has not been set after protests from modeling agencies. Apart from that, France just passed the second law that requires photos, where the model has been retouched, to be marked with the label “retouched photography”

            One big company was ordered to change its poster after the French government found it degrading and exposing young people to unrealistic images of bodies, which leaded to a sense of poor self-esteem that could impact health-related behavior. The advertisement caused uproar on social media, where critics said the fact the models were too thin. While United Kingdom also banned such advertisement because of its unhealthily underweight model whose ribcage was showing. At the same time, Italy, Spain and Israel are among other countries to draw up the laws to ban unhealthy body images.

            There have been several controversies over the use of excessively thin models in advertising because the health issue, like anorexia, is very serious problem in France. Anorexia is believed to affect up to 40,000 people in France, 90 percent of whom are women. This is why the new laws successfully came into effect. The law was launched to support punishing employers who violate the government’s rules with up to six months imprisonment and a €75,000 fine. This shows that the government is eager to act on body image in society in order to avoid the promotion of ideal beauty and to prevent anorexia in young people in the country.

Passage 4

            France has banned unhealthy thin models as part of a new law targeting unrealistic body images and eating disorders. In this case, models must provide a doctor’s certificate to prove that their health and body mass index (BMI) are in the healthy level.

            The measurement will be compared to the World Health Organization (WHO)’s definitions of underweight to decide whether a model is certified, although a minimum BMI has not been set after protests from modeling agencies. Apart from that, France just passed the second law that requires photos, where the model has been retouched, to be marked with the label “retouched photography”

            One big company was ordered to change its poster after the French government found it degrading and exposing young people to unrealistic images of bodies, which leaded to a sense of poor self-esteem that could impact health-related behavior. The advertisement caused uproar on social media, where critics said the fact the models were too thin. While United Kingdom also banned such advertisement because of its unhealthily underweight model whose ribcage was showing. At the same time, Italy, Spain and Israel are among other countries to draw up the laws to ban unhealthy body images.

            There have been several controversies over the use of excessively thin models in advertising because the health issue, like anorexia, is very serious problem in France. Anorexia is believed to affect up to 40,000 people in France, 90 percent of whom are women. This is why the new laws successfully came into effect. The law was launched to support punishing employers who violate the government’s rules with up to six months imprisonment and a €75,000 fine. This shows that the government is eager to act on body image in society in order to avoid the promotion of ideal beauty and to prevent anorexia in young people in the country.

55. What is the tone of this passage?

Desert tundra, or cold desert, occurs on the Arctic edges of North America, Europe, and Asia. In these areas the near eternal freezing temperatures cause an environment in which plant life is virtually impossible.  The existence of ice rather than water for the majority of the year means that vegetation lacks sufficient moisture for growth. During the short period of time when the temperature increases enough for the ice to melt, there is generally a large volume of water. This excess of water, coupled with a lack of drainage through the frozen subsoil, does not allow vegetation to flourish .
