Creating a Smartphone Monster
1 I remember it as if it were yesterday—walking through the front door of my mother’s house and shouting, “It’s here!” Mom poked her head out of the kitchen, rolled her eyes when she saw the smartphone packaging, and then disappeared again. Not the best
start, I’ll admit. Still, I had done my research, and all the latest studies showed that it was very helpful for seniors to learn how to use new technology devices. So, I decided I would be the one to make it happen!
2 Hours later, I finally ensured that her email account and contacts were set up. I did not relent until we reviewed a few apps and figured out the all-important ringtone. It was a long night, but even as I left, I knew that my mother had only retained half of what I had told her (if I was lucky). It’s not that there’s anything wrong with her. In fact, she’s one of the smartest people I know. It’s just that she came from a generation that didn’t have mobile phones at all, let alone smartphones. This influx of information was all very new
and confusing.
3 After a few days of phone calls, her anxiety slowly diminished until my mother finally stopped asking how to do every little thing on her phone. It wasn’t until I had the urge to go shopping with her that I became conscious of the monster I had created. You see,
Mom was now a smartphone addict. She used her phone for everything. Should I wonder aloud about anything at all, she would twitch excitedly and say, “They have an app for that.” She was also suddenly a compulsive email checker—the same woman who used to go days at a time between email responses.
4 But her biggest dependency was her texting. My jaw dropped when I came out of a store and found her fingers moving at the speed of light. “Mom!” I called to her, but she was “in the zone” and the temptation to continue texting was apparently too great. (I
learned later that she was discussing a recipe with Aunt Lucy.) Trying to get her attention, I reached for her phone, triggering what could only be described as the mother-daughter cat fight of the century—right in the middle of a shopping mall. All the while, she clutched her smartphone as if her life depended on it, screaming “Help!” at the top of her lungs.
5 Later, that evening, I told my husband about her smartphone dysfunction and how we would have to slowly wean her away from using it. Hopefully she wouldn’t have any withdrawal symptoms. I watched him literally cry from laughing so hard. “Don’t you see the humor in all of it?” he finally asked when he saw I wasn’t smiling. I think my silence answered his question. 1 app: application, or program for a mobile device

With a baby on the way, these things were imperative for us. Since I ran my graphic arts business from home, I wasn’t bound to any particular place, so we began looking at real estate in Flemington and also did some research on their school system as well as the overall community. We were very excited about what we found— reasonable housing costs, great schools, and a lively town. Mark then accepted the relocation offer and we found a beautiful old Tudor house.

1 Bali, one of Indonesia's 17,000 islands, conjures up images of perfect, golden beaches and azure waters. This description would be accurate, except for the plastic debris which litters the shores. In 2018, the issue of ocean pollution here received worldwide attention when a scuba diver called Rich Horner posted a video of himself swimming in a sea of plastic. The clip was horrifying, and it quickly went viral. 2 Two Dutch-Indonesian sisters, Melati and Isabel Wijsen, were already aware of the scale of the problem. Having grown up in Bali, they knew that plastic contamination was a major concern. With time they became convinced that they could be instrumental in bringing about change. To solve the problem, they believed it was important to harness the power and enthusiasm of young people. They decided to launch a movement, which they called “Bye Bye Plastic Bag”. 3 The sisters began collecting signatures to support their cause, and eventually got over 100,000 people to register their concern. In 2017, they took their mission to the international stage by giving a moving speech at the United Nations in New York City. In the talk, they showed heartbreaking photos of animals entrapped in plastic and of stunning natural landscapes which had been completely soiled. The point they were making was simple: single- use plastics such as shopping bags, straws and Styrofoam containers should be banned. 4 Gradually, Melati and Isabel's efforts gained momentum. "We didn't want to wait until we were older to stand up for what we believe in," they said, stressing that kids have the ability to effect change. In late 2018, they achieved a major success when the governor of Bali announced that single- use plastics would be forbidden on the island. Not only that, but the local government committed to a major marine cleanup effort. 5 Young people can lead the way, the sisters believe. They say they won't rest until visitors to the island paradise hear this question at the airport: "Welcome to Bali! Do you have any plastic bags to declare?" Rich Horner’s video is proof that there is still more work to be done. However, the sisters’ work suggests that ambitious conservation efforts are by no means impossible. The article focuses mostly on: a. two sisters' success in banning plastics b. a horrifying video of polluted waters c. plastic waste in Indonesia's capital.

1 Bali, one of Indonesia's 17,000 islands, conjures up images of perfect, golden beaches and azure waters. This description would be accurate, except for the plastic debris which litters the shores. In 2018, the issue of ocean pollution here received worldwide attention when a scuba diver called Rich Horner posted a video of himself swimming in a sea of plastic. The clip was horrifying, and it quickly went viral. 2 Two Dutch-Indonesian sisters, Melati and Isabel Wijsen, were already aware of the scale of the problem. Having grown up in Bali, they knew that plastic contamination was a major concern. With time they became convinced that they could be instrumental in bringing about change. To solve the problem, they believed it was important to harness the power and enthusiasm of young people. They decided to launch a movement, which they called “Bye Bye Plastic Bag”. 3 The sisters began collecting signatures to support their cause, and eventually got over 100,000 people to register their concern. In 2017, they took their mission to the international stage by giving a moving speech at the United Nations in New York City. In the talk, they showed heartbreaking photos of animals entrapped in plastic and of stunning natural landscapes which had been completely soiled. The point they were making was simple: single- use plastics such as shopping bags, straws and Styrofoam containers should be banned. 4 Gradually, Melati and Isabel's efforts gained momentum. "We didn't want to wait until we were older to stand up for what we believe in," they said, stressing that kids have the ability to effect change. In late 2018, they achieved a major success when the governor of Bali announced that single-use plastics would be forbidden on the island. Not only that, but the local government committed to a major marine cleanup effort. 5 Young people can lead the way, the sisters believe. They say they won't rest until visitors to the island paradise hear this question at the airport: "Welcome to Bali! Do you have any plastic bags to declare?" Rich Horner’s video is proof that there is still more work to be done. However, the sisters’ work suggests that ambitious conservation efforts are by no means impossible. What conclusion does the article support? a. Bali should fine tourists for using plastic bags. b. The country is no longer a good tourist destination. c. Young people can make a difference.
257. Read the following passage, then choose the option that includes true statements.
Dolphins are regarded as the friendliest creatures in the sea and stories of them helping drowning sailors have been common since Roman times. The more we learn about dolphins, the more we realize that their society is more complex than people previously imagined. They look after other dolphins when they are ill, care for pregnant mothers and protect the weakest in the community, as we do. Some scientists have suggested that dolphins have a language but it is much more probable that they communicate with each other without needing words. Could any of these mammals be more intelligent than man? Certainly the most common argument in favor of man's superiority over them that we can kill them more easily than they can kill us is the least satisfactory. On the contrary, the more we discover about these remarkable creatures, the less we appear superior when we destroy them. a. It is clear from the passage that dolphins don't want to be with us as much as we want to be with them One can infer from the reading that communication is the most fascinating aspect of the dolphins b.

One can infer from the reading that dolphins have skills that no other living creatures have such as the ability to think c.

They might be able to remember every word of a book they just read, or quickly estimate the sum of a complicated math problem. This rare condition is often linked with autism. People with autism are socially disabled in terms of their interactions with others. Likewise, savants usually have difficulty assimilating with the rest of society. They have a hard time relating to everyone else. In a recent study, one savant said, “You’d think people would realize that we’re anxious and uncomfortable around them.” Another savant tried to explain his feelings by stating, “I’m not very flexible. I have my own schedule that I like to keep to, and I don’t care what people say.” 2 Emerging evidence in the past few decades has suggested that savant-like abilities can be related to injury to the left hemisphere of the brain. It can also be due to lack of development of this part of the brain. The right hemisphere of the brain compensates for this, and as a result, savants develop new mental abilities that are different from those of ordinary people. 3 Allan Snyder is a scientist in Sydney, Australia. He is known for his expertise in this area. Dr. Snyder decided to study the effect of electromagnetic pulses on different areas of the brain. He believed that he could bring out savant-like abilities in ordinary people by sending pulses to their brains. The study is an important one. If controlled correctly, people could certainly benefit from having these new abilities. 4 Dr. Snyder’s results were predictable, based on his theory. He found that the pulses transformed the way the brain handled information. People were able to recognize details that they never saw before in images and words. The longer they received the pulses, the more details they retained. For example, a New York Times reporter drew a cat several times while receiving pulses to his brain. He noted that each image was more and more detailed. “I could hardly recognize them as my own drawings, though I had watched myself render each one, in all its loving detail.” 5 Dr. Snyder’s persistence in this study has helped to give an idea of how a savant’s brain works. It has also shown that, with the right equipment, anyone can be a savant! a. Savants are different from everyone else because they can solve math problems. In Dr. Snyder’s study, the pulses made savants act like ordinary people Some people think that savants always want to be by themselves. b. Savants are different from everyone else because they can draw detailed pictures. In Dr. Snyder’s study, the pulses made people want to be savants. Some people think that savants have more abilities that are still hidden. c. Savants are different from everyone else because they have amazing mental abilities. In Dr. Snyder’s study, the pulses helped people notice more details. Some people think that savants are more like regular people than they are.

When linked together, these genes make us the individuals we are. As medical technology advances, researchers have begun to switch from conventional studies to explore the idea of personalized medicine. This alternative medical approach involves aspects such as studying the genome, or complete gene make-up of an individual. The purpose is to find the likelihood of disease based on genetic risk factor and to interpret how cells react to disease. Then, doctors can prescribe the best drugs to treat individuals. 2 The idea of personalized medicine has its roots in the mid-1800s, when inherited traits were first discovered. As time went on, more discoveries were made. In the early 1900s, researchers began to connect genes with disease. People who had certain genes were recognized as more likely to get certain diseases. Early advocates may have begun to wonder, “Couldn’t we use this information to prescribe more effective drugs for individuals?” 3 And so the idea of personalized medicine was born, but it still had a long way to go. To understand the impact and importance of the human genome, the United States launched the Human Genome Project in 1990. Its goal was to identify all genes that exist in the human body. By the time the project completed in 2003, about 24,000 genes were discovered. Today, researchers continue to learn more about gene interaction and explore the idea of personalized medicine. 4 Patients are beginning to consult with their doctors to develop personalized gene mapping. Their aim is to discover likeliness for disease. Doctors then use this information to predict health issues and to prevent or treat them in ways that are most likely to work. 5 Personalized medicine is only just beginning to take its place in the medical environment, and it has elicited Mixed reactions. There are skeptical people with important questions, such as “How reliable are the results?” Still, the consensus is that personalized medicine has the potential to revolutionize healthcare. As research continues, the public will gain a better idea of whether this approach is truly beneficial. a. The main idea of the article is that personalized medicine is a medical approach based on genes. Personalized medicine works because it helps to find the best treatments for individuals. The Human Genome Project was a study that identified every human gene. b. The main idea of the article is that personalized medicine began in the 1800s and still exists today. Personalized medicine works because it shows doctors how to discuss medical advances. The Human Genome Project was a study that identified used human genes to create medicine. c. The main idea of the article is that personalized medicine is confusing for many doctors and patients. Personalized medicine works because it makes more medicines available for doctors. The Human Genome Project was a study that identified compared genes throughout history.

369. Read about the proposal to build a solar farm near a British village called Barnley. Then anwer the cuestios 6-9.
The Environment.
The Barnley Villaje Commite is opposed to plans to build a 6,890 panel solar farm on a 15 acre site adjacen to the village creacion ground, currently used for agriculture. Under the proposed scheme, area willbe surrounded by an 8ft-hight fence. The panels themselves willbe about 7 feet high.
The commite has alrready lodged an appeal to the local authority against construction of the solar farm. the councillors are due to meet on 13ht to vote whether or not plans will go aheat. Local residents are invited to attend. Our objection will be presented before the board, and a representative from the solar firm SunGen will put forward the case for the development.
Residents are encouraged to voice the objectipns to the development. These must address the aspects of the scheme that violate the current planning policy. However, you are welcome to make your objections personal, by stating how the plans will affect as a user of the recreation ground. Some of the most common objections are listed below:
1. The extensive views from the village and recreation ground across the open country will be bloked by the panels and high fencing. Furthermore, once the site has been build upon, it may be considered brownfield, thus an acceptable site for housing or industrial development. It does not, therefore comply with the local policy wich states that developments must not adversely effect on the appearance or character of the landscape.
2. The recreation ground has recently undergone major inprovements including a perimeter running trak, new playground equipment and seating. It is heavely used by families, sport teams, and dog walkers, and is regular used for village events. Cricket and football teams regularly use the recreation ground and it is not uncommon for balls to enter the field. Criketers are worried that they may become liable for damage to solar panels. If teams are forced to relocated, this would adversely affect the character of the village, and may jeopardise paeticipations of the children's teams. This goes against the National Planning Policy Framewok which requires developments to promote hight quality public space and encourage the active and continual use of public areas.
3. There has been no assessment of the extent to which noise from inverters and cooling fans will affected local residents.
4. As the ground beneath the solar panels will be surfaced , there will be more additional run-off
of rainwater. The recreation ground already has problems with drainage, and these may be exaserbated by this development. A fromal flood risk assessment must be sumitted.
5. The lighting and security systems had been not outlined, it is not clear how the area will be made safe for children.
