Which languages do people study?

Whereas English lags behind in the number of ___a___, it is by far the world’s
most ___b___ studied language. Overall, more people learn English than French,
Spanish, Italian, Japanese, German and Chinese combined.
Some languages have only recently gained ___c___: The number of U.S. colleges
that teach ___d___ has risen by 110 percent between 1990 and 2013, making the
language more ___e___. During the same time, the number of offered Russian
college courses ___f___ by 30 percent.
Some language skills could be ___g___ than others. If you are able to speak
German, Americans could earn $128,000 extra throughout their career, according to
MIT scientist Albert Saiz. At least financially, German is worth twice as much as
French and nearly three times as much as Spanish, for instance.

4. In today’s world having the ability to speak

multiple languages is seen as a major advantage.
In your opinion what benefits could you obtain
simply from the fact that you are able to speak
more than one foreign language?
Activity B
1. You are going to read an article from the New Yorker. Write a suitable title for
the article and explain your choice. 20 points
According to the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, “The limits of my language mean

the limits of my world.” The words that we have at our disposal affect what we see – and
the more words there are, the better our perception. When we learn to speak a different
language, we learn to see a bigger world.
5 Many modern language researchers agree with that premise. Not only does speaking
multiple languages help us to communicate but bilingualism (or multilingualism) may
actually confer distinct advantages to the developing brain. Because a bilingual child
switches between languages, the theory goes, she develops enhanced executive control,
or the ability to effectively manage what are called higher cognitive processes, such as
10 problem-solving, memory, and thought. She becomes better able to inhibit some

Testing pack 3
responses, promote others, and generally emerges with a more flexible and agile mind.
It’s a phenomenon that researchers call the bilingual advantage.
However a researcher in particular, Angela de Bruin, has conducted studies that
further explore the effects of bilingualism. “Our overview,” de Bruin concluded, “shows
15 that there is a distorted image of the actual study outcomes on bilingualism, with
researchers (and media) believing that the positive effect of bilingualism on non-linguistic
cognitive processes is strong and unchallenged.” De Bruin isn’t refuting the notion that
there are advantages to being bilingual: some studies that she reviewed really did show
an edge. But the advantage is neither global nor pervasive, as often reported. “I’m
20 definitely not saying there’s no bilingual advantage,” de Bruin says. But the advantage
may be different from the way many researchers have described it: as a phenomenon
that helps children to develop their ability to switch between tasks and, more broadly,
enhances their executive-control functions. The true edge, de Bruin believes, may come
far later, and in a form that has little to do with task-switching and executive control; it
25 may, she says, be the result of simple learning.
One of the areas where the bilingual advantage appears to be most persistent isn’t
related to a particular skill or task: it’s a general benefit that seems to help the aging
brain. Adults who speak multiple languages seem to resist the effects of dementia far
better than monolinguals do. When the brain keeps learning, as it seems to do for people
30 who retain more than one language, it has more capacity to keep functioning at a higher
level.
That, in and of itself, is reason enough to learn a second, third, fourth, or fifth
language – and to keep learning them as long as you’re able. The bilingual advantage may
not appear in the exact guise researchers think of it today. But, on a fundamental level,
bilingualism’s real benefits could be far more important.

Activity B
1. You are going to read an article entitled “The
Truth about Teens and Privacy” by Danah Boyd. Five sentences have been
removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A-F the one which fits
each gap (1-5). There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use.
A. We don’t tell everybody every D. Each week, news stories lament the death of
single thing about our lives privacy
B. There is a big difference between E. Parent-teen battles about privacy have gone
being in public and being public on for decades
C. Teens do not want their parents F. They want the right to be ignored by the
to view their online profiles people
Many teens feel as though they are in a no-win situation when it comes to
sharing information online: damned if they publish their personal thoughts to public
spaces, and damned if they create private space that parents can’t see.
_________(1)_________. Parents complain when teens demand privacy by asking
5 their parents to stay out of their bedroom, to refrain from listening in on their phone
conversations, and to let them socialize with their friends without being chaperoned.
These same parents express frustration when teens wear skimpy outfits. They have
long seen revealing clothing as an indicator of teens’ rejection of privacy. In other
words, common teen practices have historically been sure signs of teens’ unhealthy
10 obsession with, or rejection of, privacy.
Social media has introduced a new dimension to the well-worn fights over
private space and personal expression. _________(2)_________ or look over their
shoulder when they are chatting with friends. Parents are no longer simply worried
about what their children wear out of the house but what they photograph
15 themselves wearing in their bedroom to post online. Interactions that were
previously invisible to adults suddenly have traces, prompting parents to worry over
conversations that adults deem inappropriate or when teens share “TMI” (too much
information).

Testing pack 3
Teens often grow frustrated with adult assumptions that suggest that they are
20 part of a generation that has given up privacy in order to participate in social media.
In North Carolina, I asked “Waffles” about this issue, and he responded with
exasperation. ‘Every teenager wants privacy. Every single last one of them, whether
they tell you or not, wants privacy.’ Waffles is a geeky white seventeen-year-old teen
who spends hours each day interacting with people through video games and
25 engaging deeply in a wide variety of online communities. ‘Just because teenagers use
internet sites to connect to other people doesn’t mean they don’t care about their
privacy. _________(3)_________.’
Journalists, parents, and technologists seem to believe that a willingness to
share in public spaces is incompatible with a desire for personal privacy. The teens
30 that I met genuinely care about their privacy, but how they understand and enact it
may not immediately appear logical to adults. When teens seek privacy, they do so in
relation to those who hold power over them. Unlike privacy advocates and more
politically conscious adults, teens aren’t typically concerned with governments and
corporations. Instead, they are trying to avoid surveillance from parents, teachers,
35 and other immediate authority figures in their lives. _________(4)_________ who
they see as being “in their business.”
Teens’ desire for privacy does not undermine their eagerness to participate in
public. _________(5)_________. Teens want to gather in public environments to
socialize, but they don’t necessarily want every vocalized expression to be publicized.
40 Yet, because being in a networked public – unlike gathering with friends in a public
park – often makes interactions more visible to adults. This desire to be in public and
have privacy seems like a contradiction. But understanding how teens conceptualize
privacy and navigate social media is key to understanding what privacy means in a
networked world. Instead of signaling the end of privacy as we know it, teens’
engagement with social media highlights the complex interplay between privacy and
publicity in the networked world we all live in now.

Teenage Voices
It’s no secret that many adults frequently ignore my generation. We’re
cast off as ignorant, arrogant and full of ourselves. We’re told that we can’t
change anything. Children are to be seen, not heard. Adults call us oblivious to the
“real world.” We’re told to grow up. Our thoughts and opinions are viewed as
5 worthless. Adults expect us to care about what they have to say, but they do not
reciprocate and listen to teens. They are missing out on perhaps the most
important voices of today and of the future.
Most teenagers do not adhere to the image of the stereotypical teen.
Stop saying that we don’t care about world affairs; many of us concerned about
10 the world’s future, especially since we will be the next ones to inherit
responsibility for it. Stop labeling us after the minority of teens who are awful and
unwelcoming – many of us are open-minded and accepting of others, and we will
support each other in times of trouble. We can and DO make change, and we’re
not lazy. How can we be when college admissions and the job market have never
15 been so competitive? Many of us actually have to work harder than our parents
did at our age to get into jobs or colleges, and many of us have accomplished so
much more than most people did when they were high school students.
Oftentimes, I find that teenagers do care. They care about issues and about
making a difference. In fact, statistics show that 93 percent of young people want
20 to volunteer. The problem is many of these teens are never shown or taught how
they can start making a difference; in fact, we’re usually told we can’t. We need to
tailor more volunteer positions to appeal to teens and create programs to help
connect teens to the right volunteer position for them. We need to make
opportunities more accessible, rather than blocking teens out and later claiming

Testing pack 3
25 that we’re impossible to deal with and that we don’t care.

In terms of the quality of teenage voices and our opinions, this is where so
many adults couldn’t be further off the mark. Teenagers ask some of the most
thought-provoking questions. We have unique perspectives that many adults miss
when they overlook my generation. We can come up with creative solutions and
30 answers to complex problems. We have something to say, and we have a right to
be heard. I strongly believe that we could come closer to solving so many of the
problems facing our world if we approached issues with the open-mindedness,
curiosity and unique perspectives that teens have. Most importantly, we’re largely
optimistic about the future and have high ambitions to better the world.

Jazz-Playing Robots Will Explore Human-Computer Relations

Jazz-playing computers and robots could soon yield clues about how to help
people collaborate with machines, researchers say. The new project, called
MUSICA (short for Musical Improvising Collaborative Agent), aims to develop a
musical device that can improvise a jazz solo in response to human partners, just
5 as real jazz musicians improvise alongside one another.
MUSICA is part of a new program from the Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency (DARPA), the branch of the U.S. military responsible for
developing new technologies. The project is designed to explore new ways that
people can interact with computers and robots. ‘There is definitely a desire for
10 more natural kinds of communications with computational systems as they grow
in their ability to be intelligent,’ Ben Grosser, an assistant professor of new media
at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, told Live Science. ‘A lot of us are
familiar with various methods of interacting with computers, such as text-based
and touch-based interfaces, but language-based interfaces are extremely limited
15 in their capabilities.’
Grosser and his colleague Kelland Thomas, an associate professor of music
at the University of Arizona, are developing MUSICA to explore how people can
communicate with one another without language. ‘That could make interactions
between humans and machines a lot deeper,’ said Grosser, who himself is a jazz
20 trumpeter. ‘When it comes to jazz, you feel the music as much as you hear and
think about it – you react instinctively to things that are going on.’
The researchers admit the project may seem unusual. ‘Let’s face it – trying
to develop a system that can play jazz is a crazy idea,’ Grosser said. ‘It’s not going
to be Miles Davis. I think if we can make this thing play like a high schooler, we’ll
25 really have done our job.’
Ultimately, Grosser hoped this research could shed light on the nature of
the creative process. ‘By finding the limits of computational creativity, we can get
a different understanding of human creativity, on our own creative processes,’
Grosser said.
