Questions 33 – 47: Reading 2 Suggested Time: 30 minutesInstructions: Read the text below, then use the information in the text to answer the

questions which follow. Write the answers on the answer sheet. Use no more than THREE words or a number or a letter.

Psychopathy: Anti-social behaviourA In 1967, a psychologist, Robert McNeil was told the following by one of his patients

named Dan, “When I was in high school, my best friend died from cancer and I went to his funeral. Everyone else was crying and feeling sorry for themselves and his family. As I was watching this, I suddenly realized I wasn’t feeling anything at all. He was a nice guy, but I felt no sadness. That night I thought about this some more and found that I wouldn’t miss my mother and father if they died and I really wouldn’t worry too much if my brother or sister died either. I figured that there wasn’t really anyone I cared about but then, I didn’t need any of them anyway so I rolled over and went to sleep.”

B Dan’s complete lack of feeling for others is an essential characteristic of a psychological condition called psychopathy. Dan is not insane or mad and he is able to function well enough in the world in which he lives. He knows right from wrong. However, he does not care about what is right and what is wrong. What makes Dan different from others is that he does not care even if he harms other people in order to get what he wants.

C Psychopaths do not feel bad when they have done something wrong to someone. They can only see their victims as objects not as fellow humans. They feel that other people can be used and then thrown away like rubbish. Psychopaths can actually apologise in words but they do not experience the feeling of being truly sorry when they say these words. To the psychopath, apologies are simply words they have learned from others that describe the appropriate feelings, and they only use them to gain a future victim's trust or to minimize punishment.

D Psychopaths typically get bored easily and continually seek excitement and stimulation. They often become involved in risky and dangerous behaviours because they have very low levels of fear and high needs for excitement and stimulation. They can even become criminals. They do not experience shame or guilt. Generally, they only view others as objects that can be used, manipulated or lied to. Therefore, many psychopaths are criminals. Experts in criminal behaviour estimate that about twenty percent of prisoners are psychopaths, however, not all psychopaths are criminals. About four percent of the general male population are like Dan. They do not end up in prison, but they often cause suffering to other people by using them.

E Pyschopaths’ unpleasant behaviour starts at a very early age. Psychopathic children often begin by stealing or not telling the truth, by lying. Unlike many other reasons for criminal behaviour, psychopathy is not connected to problems in childhood, for example, low birth weight, problems at birth, poor parenting, or poverty. Psychologist, Robert Hare remarks, ‘I can find no convincing evidence that psychopathy is the direct result of early social or environmental factors’.

F However, an interesting link has been found between how bad a psychopath someone is and the size of part of the brain called the hippocampus. Studies on animals show that damage to this area of the brain can affect the level of fear experienced by animals.


Scientists have found that rats with a particular type of damage to the hippocampus were “psychopathic rats”, and constantly "stole" cheese even if they were punished for doing this. This is something the other, normal rats were too frightened to do. However, when the psychopathic rats were given a chemical that increases fear, they did not try and steal the cheese.

G Studies of twins shows that heredity may play an important role in psychopathy. Researchers found that if one of a set of identical twins was a psychopath, then there was a very high chance that the other twin was also a psychopath. This link was much weaker among non-identical twins.

H Psychopaths can cause many problems in modern society, therefore, doctors have tried to find therapies to try and help them to control their illness. Unfortunately, the doctors’ efforts have been totally unsuccessful. In fact, some therapies seem to make the condition worse because they teach the psychopath how to manipulate and control other people. Conventional therapy usually assumes that people want to change. However, psychopaths are perfectly happy as they are and usually feel superior to those around them. They feel superior because they do not feel fear, guilt or shame like others do. They go to therapy so they can get out of prison or to learn how to control other people better. "These guys learn the words but not the music," a prison psychologist has said.

I Taken together, the image of a psychopath emerges as a selfish person who cannot understand other people. They do not have the ability to form normal, warm emotional relationships with others. They do not have a conscience and their antisocial behaviour cannot be changed by any method known to doctors or psychologists. In fact, their anti social behaviour is often made worse by therapy.

questions which follow. Write the answers on the answer sheet. Use no more than THREE words or a number or a letter.

Antarctic Penguins

Though penguins are assumed to be native to the South Pole, only four of the seventeen species have evolved the survival adaptations necessary to live and breed in the Antarctic all year round. The physical features of the Adelie, Chinstrap, Gentoo, and Emperor penguins equip them to withstand the harshest living conditions in the world. Besides these four species, there are a number of others, including the yellow feathered Macaroni penguin and the King penguin that visit the Antarctic regularly but migrate to warmer waters to breed. Penguins that live in Antarctica all year round have a thermoregulation system and a survival sense that allows them to live comfortably both on the ice and in the water.

2. In the dark days of winter, when the Antarctic sees virtually no sunlight, the penguins that remain on the ice sheet sleep most of the day. To retain heat, penguins huddle in communities of


Detailed Comprehension

up to 6,000 of their own species. When it's time to create a nest, most penguins build up a pile of rocks on top of the ice to place their eggs.

3. The Emperor penguin, however, doesn't bother with a nest at all. The female Emperor lays just one egg and gives it to the male to protect while she goes off for weeks to feed. The male balances the egg on top of his feet, covering it with a small fold of skin called a brood patch. In the huddle, the male penguins rotate regularly so that none of the penguins have to stay on the outside of the circle exposed to the wind and cold for long periods of time. When it's time to take a turn on the outer edge of the pack, the penguins tuck their feathers in and shiver. The movement provides enough warmth until they can head back into the inner core and rest in the warmth. In order to reduce the cold of the ice, penguins often put their weight on their heels and tails. It is the only penguin species that breeds during the Antarctic winter, trekking 50–120 km (31–75 mi) over the ice to breeding colonies.

4. Antarctic penguins also have complex nasal passages that prevent 80 percent of their heat from leaving the body. When the sun is out, the black dorsal plumage attracts its rays and penguins can stay warm enough to waddle or slide about alone.

5. Antarctic penguins spend about 75 percent of their lives in the water. A number of survival adaptations allow them to swim through deep, extremely cold water. Unlike most birds, for example, that have hollow bones for flight, penguins have evolved hard solid bones that help them submerge. They also have an unusually structured hemoglobin which allows them to function at low oxygen levels. In addition, they have an amazing circulatory system, which enables them to reduce their metabolism and shut down non-essential organ functions. In the Antarctic waters, as cold as -2 degrees Celsius, this diverts blood from the flippers and legs to the heart. Antarctic penguins also have unique feathers that work similarly to a waterproof diving suit. Tufts of down trap a layer of air within the feathers, preventing the water from penetrating the penguin's skin. The pressure of a deep dive releases this air, and a penguin has to rearrange the feathers through a process called "preening."

6. Even so, in order to stay warm in these temperatures, penguins have to keep moving. Though penguins don't fly in the air, they are often said to fly through water. Instead of stopping each time they come up for air, they use a technique called "porpoising," in which they leap up for a quick breath while swiftly moving forward.

7. While the harsh climate of the Antarctic doesn't threaten the survival of Antarctic penguins, overheating can be a concern, and therefore, global warming is a threat to them. Temperate species have certain physical features such as fewer feathers and less blubber to keep them cool on a hot day. African penguins have bald patches on their legs and face where excess heat can be released. The blood vessels in the penguin's skin dilate when the body begins to overheat, and the heat rises to the surface of the body. Penguins that are built for thecold winters of the Antarctic have other survival techniques for a warm day, such as moving to shaded areas, or holding their fins out away from their bodies, but this may not be enough to protect them if summer temperatures continue to rise.

8. A more pressing problem resulting from global warming is its effect on the penguins’ food supply. Warmer air and sea surface temperatures in the Antarctic reduce the amount of ice in the sea, which in turn leads to smaller populations of krill, a shrimp-like crustacean that is a staple of


the penguin's diet. With less food to eat, penguins die. Scientists have determined that over the past 50 years, the population of emperor penguins, for example, has declined by 50 percent.

Listening Task 2. You have 40 seconds to read questions 8 to 17.

Listen to the following lecture. You will hear the lecture only once. Answer the questions while you are listening.

AdvertisingGood afternoon.Today, I would like to talk to you about the subject of advertising. During this lecture, I will dis-cuss 4 areas of advertising and I will use the terms advertising, advertisements, adverts and ads often as I go through my talk.Now the main goal of advertising is to sell things, or more correctly to make people buy things. -Firstly, I will discuss how advertisements get us to buy things. So, part 1 will be about why we buy.Secondly, I will give you some statistics about different types of advertising. So, part 2 will be about statistics.Thirdly, I want to look at how the advertising process works. So, part 3 is about the advertising process.Fourthly, and finally, I will talk about how we can tell if an ad is successful or not.So... let me start with part 1.This section is called "Why we buy things".. Companies usually sell one of three things. The first thing is products. For example, bread. The second thing is services, and banking is a good example of a service. The final thing is ideas. This includes adverts trying to make people give up smoking or drive safer. Advertising agencies put adverts on TV, in magazines and newspapers or on the Internet to try and influence our emo-tions. And this is how ads work. They make us feel good when we buy a product or make us feel bad if we don't buy it. So... we usually make a decision to buy a product based on emotion, not information.So to repeat that final idea ... advertising works because it influences our emotions. It affects our feelings.Now for Part 2 ... statistics about advertising. Let me give you some figures about advertising. Please note them down carefully.Experts tell us that 34% of people buy because they saw an advertisement on television, that is 34% buy because of TV ads. 25% of people buy because they saw an ad on the Internet, .. .21% buy after reading an advertisement in a newspaper or magazine. Finally only 13% buy because of advertising on the radio. The remaining 7% of people buy for other reasons.


To sum up. Advertising affects 93% of our spending decisions.

Let me move to part 3. Let's look at how the advertising process works. I think there are 4 main steps to this process.The first step is to choose an advertising agency. A company or business chooses an agency to think of the best way to sell a product. The agency makes sure that as many people as possible see the product, so they will want to buy it.The second step is to inform the agency about the product. The company must provide the adver-tising agency with all the information it needs to sell the product. The agency needs to know what the product is for; in other words, what the function or job of the product is. They also have to know what packaging the product needs. Packaging is spelt P-A-C-K-A-G-I-N-G, packaging. Examples of packaging are boxes, bottles or packets. And of course, the information that every consumer wants - how much will the product cost? Will it be cheap or expensive?The third step is for the advertising agency to produce a special report. This report explains 4 things. Please note down the 4 thingsthe advertising goals: what the company wants the advert to do;the target audience - audience is spelt A-U-D-I-E-N-C-E. These are the people who the company wants to buy the product;the product's special selling points; what will make it interesting to consumers;the effects on the consumers after they see the advert. Has the ad made people interested in the product?

The fourth step, the final step, is to conclude the advertising deal. This means the company ac-cepts the advertising agency's ideas and plans. The agency records the advert for TV or radio. It puts adverts in magazines and newspapers. Lastly, the ad agency decides where and when to show the ads, so as many people as possible can see them.Before I move to the final part of my talk, let me restate the 4 steps I mentioned in part 3. The 4 steps for the process are: 1 the company chooses an agency, 2 it informs the agency about the product, 3 the agency produces a special report, and 4 the company and the agency conclude the deal.Let me now move to part 4 of my lecture. In this last part, I want to very quickly look at how we can tell if an advertisement is successful or not. How can we be sure if the ad is doing its job?

I think it is very easy to do this. The true test of how effective, or successful, an ad is, is how well the product sells. Did the public buy it? An advertisement is successful if consumers buy the product. The advertising has done its job well if it has been able to persuade people to buy more of the thing advertised.Next week, in my lecture, I will discuss another aspect of advertising. I hope to see you then.


You now have 40 seconds to transfer your answers to your Listening Answer sheet.Listening Task 4. You will hear part of a lecture on ‘Tourism’. You will hear the lecture twice. Take notes.

In today’s lecture we are going to look at tourism. In particular we are going to see why tourism needs to be well-managed. There are 3 main parts to this talk. First, we’ll look at the size of International Tourism as an industry. Then, we’ll look at how it can benefit the people in a community. And finally we’ll see how it can cause two kinds of problems – problems for these same people – the local people in the community and problems for the local environment. So we’re looking at size, benefits and two kinds of problems.

Right let’s see how big this business is. It is widely considered to be the biggest industry in the world and it is one of the fastest growing. In 2002 approximately 500 billion US Dollars were spent by tourists visiting other countries. In 2008 this had grown to 944 billion US dollars. So it almost doubled from about half a trillion to just less than 1 trillion dollars in just 6 years. Tourism, then, is very big business.

Now let’s look at how it can benefit a community. If a place becomes popular with tourists it can mean a lot of money for the people that live there. Let’s imagine a sleepy little fishing village. It may not have much employment. If it is pretty and sunny, tourists may begin to visit it. Let’s say the village has one hotel. The hotel has to employ more staff to look after the extra guests. So employment increases and more locals are employed. And they also spend money that they get from the tourists. So now the local community benefits twice from the tourist dollars. Not only do the tourists spend money but so do the hotel staff. These dollars are spent in restaurants and shops and so are shared by others in the village. They all keep their money in the bank. The bank manager is happy. He has more money in his bank than ever before. So he lends money to the hotel owner who builds another hotel and the process continues, making the economy grow. You will see here that the tourist dollars are spent many times over. Economists call this the Multiplier Effect. It happens in every economy but it is particularly powerful in the tourist industry because so much money comes directly into a place and is shared out among so many people. It’s a key concept so make sure you spell it right – multiplier is spelt M-U-L-T-I-P-L-I-E-R, and Effect is with a double f. It can bring very important benefits to a community like this fishing village we are imagining. This is the good side of tourism, the side that all national tourist boards try to encourage.


Now, as I said, in the third part of this talk we’ll see how tourism can also bring problems. We’ll look at problems in two areas; one is problems for people, the other is problems for the environment.

One of the main problems is that not all these dollars stay in the local community, with the people in the village. For example, the hotel won’t buy all the food for the tourists from the local farmers and fishermen, they’ll spend some of the money on food from other places, they’ll import food. Economists call this ‘leakage’. I’ll spell that too, that’s L-E-A-K-A-G-E. Leakage is loss of money from the local economy to the wider economy.

This, leakage, can have serious negative effects particularly as regards employment. Let’s continue with our example of the fishing village. As it gets bigger, the hotel might bring in people from outside the village, from other countries even, maybe they are cheaper; maybe they have skills the locals don’t. - Maybe they speak the languages of the foreign tourists, for example. Here we have more leakage from the local economy. It may be that the foreign workers, because of their special skills, get the better jobs, while the locals get poorly paid jobs such as cleaners, waiters and gardeners. It may even be that some locals stop getting any of the money from the tourists. Maybe they end up without jobs as they are replaced by foreigners. This is clearly a very negative effect of tourism.The second area where there is often a negative effect of tourism is on the environment.

A good example is coral reefs. Coral reefs are those wonderful undersea gardens with all the beautiful tropical fish that we see in places like South East Asia, Australia, and here in the UAE, in Fujairah for example. These places are popular because the coral under the sea is very close to the shore. The rise of tourism in such an area can destroy the coral in just a few years. There are four main causes of this. First, souvenirs of coral become popular and both locals and tourists break pieces off. Second, ground up coral is a good building material… (Adapted from Skills in English Level 3 by Terry Phillips (Garnet)Words 828)
