    Name: the 20th of June, 2020

    Class: 12 D
    My final term paper
    1. Reading:
    SUBIECTUL I (40 de puncte)

    Read the text below. Are the sentences 1-5 'Right' (A) or 'Wrong' (B)? If there is not enough
    information to answer 'Right' (A) or 'Wrong' (B), choose 'Doesn't say' (C). Mark A, B or C on your
    exam sheet.

    After the success of Batman Begins, Christopher Nolan comes back to direct The Dark Knight. But
    Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight is not just a comic book movie. It is THE comic book movie and is
    one of the best movies ever made.

    So in The Dark Knight, Batman (Christian Bale) continues his reign as bringing back Gotham from its own
    damnation and destroying organized crime in Gotham for good. With help from Commissioner Jim Gordon
    (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), their plans are working out. But the
    three find themselves fighting against a criminal mastermind
    known as The Joker who forces Batman closer to crossing the line between a symbolic hero and a vigilante.

    One of the best things about this movie is Heath Ledger's masterpiece performance as The Joker. The Joker
    is a villain who really tests Batman so that the latter is tempted to break his One Rule (Never to kill). Heath
    Ledger as The Joker had such an amazing performance that we actually believed that he was THE Joker.
    Heath Ledger didn't just deliver an Oscar Winning Performance, but a role that no one will ever forget.

    The Dark Knight is one of the best movies in contemporary film history. Christopher Nolan did something
    that many thought would never be possible. He created something different and unique, inspiring directors
    like Sam Mendes, Ridley Scott, J.J. Abrams, and Shane Black to make their own movies more realistic.

    Dark, Complex, and Unforgettable, Christopher Nolan has done something that no comic book movie has
    ever done before which is to transcend its genre, becoming more than a comic book movie.

    SUBIECTUL al II-lea (60 de puncte)

    Read the text below. For questions 1-10, choose the answer (A, B, C or D) which you think fits best
    according to the text.

    LIKE many women these days, Aran Hissam, 35, of Melbourne, posted the news that she was pregnant on
    Facebook. On the morning of an ultrasound last year, she debated on the site whether to learn the baby's sex,
    musing "to peek or not to peek?" When she failed to post an update later that day, friends started to contact
    her. Ms. Hissam decided to return to Facebook to share the news that her unborn baby, a girl, had been
    found to have fetal hydrops and given no chance of survival. "I wanted to communicate the news to get
    people off my back," Ms. Hissam said in a telephone interview recently. Although her husband was at first
    surprised that she would share such emotional news publicly, she said, Facebook seemed like one of the
    least difficult ways to get the word out.

    Facebook, that repository of the mundane (mealtime updates, party reminders and job changes) that people
    have long used to show the positive sides of their lives, is increasingly also a place they go to break difficult
    news. It was where the racecar driver Danica Patrick, 30, announced that she and her husband of seven
    years, Paul Hospenthal, 47, were "amicably" divorcing. And it is where a portrait photographer and mother
    of two named Alicia, 35 (who did not want her last name published because of continuing custody issues),
    posted a few succinct sentences about the breakup of her own marriage recently. People in her social circle
    were starting to hear rumors about her personal life, she said, and she wanted to address that. "I didn't want
    to start a pity party, but I did want to be honest about what was going on," Alicia said, adding that "One of
    the beautiful things about Facebook is that it's passive communication, and it gives people freedom to
    respond — or not — in whichever way they are most comfortable."

    Posting bad news on a social media site eases the pain for the bearer of bad news and the recipient, because
    knowing what to say to someone who has just told you bad news can be one of the most socially fraught
    situations. "If you put the news on Facebook, you're also maximizing the recipient's comfort, so they can
    process the information on their own time," said Dr. Janet Sternberg, assistant professor of communication
    and media studies at Fordham University. "It's really hard to break bad news without crying or falling apart.
    But we can share painful news in less painful ways." Dr. Louis Manza, a professor and chairman of the
    psychology department at Lebanon Valley College in Pennsylvania, said: "From a cognitive perspective, it's
    easier to deal with it this way. You post it, come back in eight hours and read all the comments that you get,
    and don't have to worry about having a difficult conversation."

    But some experts think that putting bad news on Facebook almost inevitably trivializes it, to the sufferer's
    further detriment. "If you post about someone's death or your divorce, it's not that different from typing, 'I'm
    going to Starbucks,' " said Dr. Carole Lieberman, a psychiatrist in
    Beverly Hills, Calif. Dr. Lieberman said that it is far preferable to tell people in person, as "it is very human,
    very real and you have to deal with your feelings." In pre-Facebook days, she pointed out, we all had to
    make 50 difficult phone calls or ask friends and family to help — and we all managed to do it.
