Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D
The relationship between Britain and the US has always been a close one. Like all close relationships it has had difficult times. The US was
first a British colony, but between 1775 and 1783 the US fought a war to become independent. The US fought the British again in the War of
1812.
In general, however, the two countries have felt closer to each other than to any other country, and their foreign policies have shown this.
During World War I and World War II, Britain and the US supported each other. When the US looks for foreign support, Britain is usually the
first country to come forward and it is sometimes called “the 51st state of the union”.
But the special relationship that developed after 1945 is not explained only by shared political interests. An important reason for the friendship
is that the people of the two countries are very similar. They share the same language and enjoy each other’s literature, films and television.
Many Americans have British ancestors, or relatives still living in Britain. The US government and political system are based on Britain’s,
and there are many Anglo-American businesses operating on both sides of the Atlantic. In Britain, some people are worried about the extent
of US influence, and there is some jealousy of its current power. The special relationship was strong in the early 1980s when Margaret
Thatcher was Prime Minister in Britain and Ronald Reagan was President of the US.

Question 32: What is the passage mainly about?

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D
Saving the planet is very much in vogue. It's also in Harper's Bazaar, Elle and Mademoiselle. It's the message on fashion runways, in
marketing strategies, in jewelry and accessory designs, on shopping bags and totes, in advertisements and on price tags.
A naked fashion model wearing a hat of birch branches and lichen, as shown in Vogue this month, may not be everyone's idea of
environmental awareness. But the pervasiveness of ecological themes in the images and marketing of fashion is undeniable. It is also
somewhat paradoxical. The fashion industry, whose driving philosophy involves encouraging consumers to discard the old and embrace the
new, is now trying to push itself to the forefront of efforts to conserve and preserve.
The environmental theme in fashion began as wispy touches and graphic exhortations in designer collections, not as some well-thought-out
strategy of ''green'' marketing in which the environmental advantages of a product become part of the sales approach. Tendrils of ivy dangled
from the ceiling at a Paris fashion show; a carpet of grass covered a runway in New York; models marched along in T-shirts or carrying signs
all bearing slogans like ''Clean Up or Die,'' ''Save the Sphere,'' and ''Environmental Protection Agents.
The environmental spin on fashion has now moved into the mass market, where ''clothes with conscience'' make an extra tug at the buyer's
self-image. Bonjour, a jeans and sportswear company based in New York, has embarked on a program to ''change the individual's outlook
toward saving the environment'' through educational tags. This summer, the first wave of what Bonjour executives said would be 50 million
fashion items a year are to arrive in stores carrying tags with environmental tips from how to save water to how to reduce pollutants.
Whether these tributes to nature will benefit the environment or even raise environmental awareness, with concomitant changes in individual
behavior, is not clear. There is some skepticism. Professor Ewen says the new environmental symbolism should be viewed as part of an
overall change in America's economy, from one built on industrial production of hard goods to one based on ''pure representation”. “Going
back to fashion, the environment has become a commercial cliche separated from real concerns. What can be attached to this year's fashion is
merely the symbolism of environmental sanity.''

Just as you designate and separate your physical workspace, you should be clear about when you’re working and when you’re not.
You’ll get your best work done and be most ready to transition back to the office if you stick with your regular hours. Plus, if your role is
collaborative, being on the same schedule as your coworkers makes everything much easier.
 “The biggest difference between working from home and working in the office is that you are in charge of your environment and
have to treat yourself like an employee,” Yurovsky says. This means holding yourself accountable, but also recognizing when enough is
enough, just as a good manager might. “If you feel yourself extending your work hours because you are not doing anything in the evening ...
tell yourself it’s time to put work away, recharge, and start tomorrow with a fresh mind. The work will be there in the morning.”
If you live with other people, this separation is even more critical. Communicate with the people whom you live with to establish
boundaries so you can cut down on distractions during the workday—and then disconnect and give the people you care about your full
attention. Having a separate time and space to work will allow you to be more present in your home life.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question.
Advocates of the laws and journalists who cover the issue often neglect to ask what will replace plastic bags and what the
environmental impact of that replacement will be. People still need bags to bring home their groceries. And the most common substitute,
paper bags, may be just as bad or worse, depending on the environmental problem you are most concerned about.
That is leading to a split in the anti-bag movement. Some bills, like in Massachusetts, try to reduce the use of paper bags as well as
plastic, but still favour paper. Others, like in New York City, treat all single-use bags equally. Even then, the question remains as to whether
single-use bags are necessarily always worse than reusable ones.
Studies of bags’ environmental impacts over their life cycle have reached widely varying conclusions. Some are funded by plastic
industry groups, like the ironically named American Progressive Bag Alliance. Even studies conducted with the puret of intentions depend on
any number of assumptions. How many plastic bags are replaced by one cotton tote bag? If a plastic bag is reused in the home as the garbage
bag in a bathroom waste bin, does that reduce its footprint by eliminating the need for another small plastic garbage bag?
If your chief concern is climate change, things get even muddier. One of the most comprehensive research papers on the
environmental impact of bags, published in 2007 by an Australian state government agency, found that paper bags have a higher carbon
footprint than plastic. That is primarily because more energy is required to produce and transport paper bags.
“People look at paper and say it’s degradable, therefore it’s much better for the environment, but it’s not in terms of climate change
impact,” says David Tyler, a professor of chemistry at the University of Oregon who has examined the research on the environmental impact
of bag use. The reasons for paper’s higher carbon footprint are complex but can mostly be understood as stemming from the fact that paper
bags are much thicker than plastic bags. “Very broadly, carbon footprints are proportional to mass of an object,” says Tyler. For example,
because paper bags take up so much more space, more trucks are needed to ship paper bags to a store than to ship plastic bags.

One way of training for your future occupation in Germany is by pursuing a dual vocational training programme. Such programmes offer
plenty of opportunities for on-the-job training and work experience. Programmes usually last between two and three and a half years and
comprise theoretical as well as practical elements. You will spend one or two days a week, or several weeks at once, at a vocational school
where you will acquire the theoretical knowledge that you will need in your future occupation. The rest of the time will be spent at a company.
There you get to apply your newly acquired knowledge in practice, for example by learning to operate machinery. You will get to know what
your company does, learn how it operates and find out if you can see yourself working there after completing your training.
This combination of theory and practice gives you a real head start into your job: by the time you have completed your training, you will not
only have the required technical knowledge, but you will also have hands-on experience in your job. There are around 350 officially
recognised training programmes in Germany, so chances are good that one of them will suit your interests and talents. You can find out which
one that might be by visiting one of the jobs vocational training fairs which are organised in many German cities at different times in the year.
Employment prospects for students who have completed a dual vocational training programme are very good. This is one of the reasons why
this kind of training is very popular with young Germans: around two thirds of all students leaving school go on to start a vocational training
programme.

Environmentalists often fear that tourists will trample all over sensitive natural resource areas, but tourism may bring the needed and only
economic incentives to help drive conservation, said Bynum Boley. Ecotourism and natural resource conservation already have a mutually
beneficial relationship that is ideal for creating a sustainable partnership.
"Ecotourism destinations benefit in the form of enhanced tourism competitiveness from the protection of quality natural resources," he said.
"Meanwhile, the conservation of these natural resources is increasingly valued since these pristine natural resources are the foundation of the
ecotourism industry and the driver of all economic benefits associated with ecotourism."
Tourism is a $7.6 trillion global industry, provides 277 million jobs and is a primary income source for 20 of the world's 48 least-developed
countries. It also subsidizes environmental protection and helps protect, conserve and value cultural resources that might otherwise be
undervalued by the host community, Boley said. In the newspaper, Boley and co-author Gary Green said that despite past tension between the
tourism industry and environmentalists, the two should team up as allies to fight off increasing conversion of land away from its natural state,
Ecotourists not only provide a boost to the economy in such places, they can also motivate landowners into keeping the environment in its
natural state instead of converting it into something unsustainable. They could also influence the public perception of conservation, Boley
explained, which does not often favor environmental protection.
“The public has become increasing less prone to respond to environmental messages,” he said. “Economic messages are needed in order to
attract the public's interest.” Too often, Boley and Green said, unique natural resource areas are converted into urban, suburban and
agricultural developments without considering their ecotourism potential. In addition to the lost ecotourism revenue, there are a host of
negative environmental consequences such as biodiversity loss, water and food shortages and the land being unable to mitigate the effects of
climate change. These areas are not valued for their unique attributes or the valuable natural resources they provide, Green said, “so we lose
them.” Tourists have historically been seen as having a negative impact on the environment. Critics complain that they violate fragile and
threatened natural environments while contributing to greenhouse gases from the increased number of flights to these exotic and often remote
locales. While these criticisms are justified, Boley and Green said responsible programs promote education of ecological conservation and
environmental sustainability, fostering a greater understanding and appreciation of these exotic areas.
