Unit 19 Lesson 1 Get ahead with your English It was predicted as early as the 1700s that English would one day be theglobal language and that has proved to be the case in the last few decades. Thegrowth of international companies and the great advances in communicationshave started the trend for learning English as a foreign language. In today'sworld, being able to speak more than one language, including English, is how you stand out and get ahead.However, learning English as a foreign language is very difficult in the absence of a native language environment. Some respected theories on language acquisition believe that to attain a high level of fluency and accuracy in a foreign language, you need to be surrounded by it. But sadly, the chances that we will all have the opportunity to live in an English-speaking country are small. Therefore, most of us have to rely on what we can learn at school as part of the school curriculum.Our latest English curriculum encourages teachers to create a rich language environment in the classroom. What this means is that they make sure there is an adequate amount of input in English conveyed to the students through various mediums. This can take the form of reading and listening materials which must be of the highest quality. Quality input ensures quality output, whether it is speaking or writing.To really get ahead, however, means putting in extra work outside of the classroom. Experts say that just 15 minutes of extra-curricular study a day can really accelerate foreign language learning. Here are what they recommend:- Setting achievable targets. For example, enlarge your vocabulary by 10 new words every day — five times a week — then revise the words on the weekend. 50 new words a week means 200 new words a month.- Listening to an English song several times in one week after reading the words.- Watching the news in your own language and then reading an English newspaper or news website. Knowing the main stories before reading will guarantee greater comprehension when reading in English.- Watching a favourite DVD, but adjusting the language to English in parts you know well.- Studying with friends. Test each other and share learning strategies — this makes learning more enjoyable.- Rewarding yourself. If you reach a target, treat yourself. Inform a friend of your targets so they can help motivate you as well.These recommendations are easily achieved and are well worth the extra effort. However, putting in those extra 15 minutes a day does take dedication. To stay dedicated, you need to keep in mind why you are learning English. Quite simply, in today's world, English holds the key to a brighter future and a world of possibilitiesUnit 19 Lesson 3 Body language speaks for itselfIf you saw a father patting his son on the back while smiling happily, what would you think was going on ? You would probably think that the father was congratulating his son on doing something well, maybe passing an exam or winning a race. You would know what was going on because you understood the message conveyed by the father's body language. Across the world, a pat on the back and a smile usually means,"well done".Body language is used every single day by people of different nationalities all over the world. It is a language without words that consists of gestures, facial expressions and body movements that greatly add to — and sometimes even replace — spoken language. Body language is used to communicate both attitudes and feelings from affection to anger just like any other language, but it differs from spoken language as it is not always explicit. Somebody jumping for joy is easy to see while a raised eyebrow conveying doubt is easier to miss.People often use body language on purpose. Someone who does not know the answer to a questions will move their shoulders upwards away from their upper body and then let them fall, meaning "I do not know". However, body language can be unconscious as well. A person who is feeling uncomfortable or nervous will often hold their body in a very rigid manner and have a tight look about their mouths. They might also cross their arms and move in an abrupt way resembling a robot more than a human. They might not even realise how they are acting but their body language will tell anyone who cares to look closely enough how they are feeling. Body language can therefore makepeople's feelings more transparent as although we can lie with words, it is not as easy to do so with our bodies.Learning to be aware of your body language can be a very useful tool. For example, in a job interview,you will probably be feeling nervous but you won't want to appear to be in a state of unrest. You will want to appear calm with as much dignity as possible. Merely by uncrossing your arms, you will kook more confident.Body language can be very useful when people do not share a common spoken language. For example, in foreign countries, it is very easy to purchase something simply by smiling and pointing at what you want. On the other hand,you can also easily show what you don't like by shaking your head. You can negotiate the price by using your fingers and even ask questions by using your hands to outline the shapes of things you want — although this can cause confusion and a few laughs too!However, body language can sometimes be ambiguous. Although everyculture around the world uses the same gestures and expressions, they use them in different ways. For example, an American tourist at a German hotel might give an "OK" sign by making a circle with their fingers. Unlike in American where this sign means everything is fine, in Germany, this gesture can cause offence. Another example is that in most cultures to nod one's head means "Yes" and shake one's head means "No"while in some cultures the opposite is true!Regardless of these differences, experts agree that across the globe there is one form of body language that receives universal approval —the smile. Smiling has a high success rate so never be afraid to use it —even when you are nervous—and especially in foreign countries!Unit 20 Lesson 1 FuturologyHannah Jones looks into the future.I love talking about the future — and I am not the only one. Over the centuries, people have always wondered about the future. Some like to read fantasy stories and imagine what the world will be like in 10, 50 or even 1,000 years' time. Others write about the future themselves. In the 18th and 19th centuries, especially the latter, the most common theme in science fiction novels was the future. Some authors even predicted things that have since happened, for example, landing on the moon! But for some people, thinking about the future is not just for fun. They plan the future of the world for a living. These people are called futurologists.This weekend, hundreds of futurologists are meeting at Newcastle University. The seminar starts on Friday and the experts will be discussing the endless possibilities of the future. The future is now big business and many people will attend the seminar with dreams of starting new enterprises based on the predictions they will hear this weekend. I clicked into the websites of a few futurologists and here's what they're predicting:• In the next few years, computers will become handier. Shortly all of us are going to use our voices to give instructions to computers.We will be able to download any file or update our computers just by saying a few words.• By the year 2015, the clothing industry will have produced new types of material that will remain stainless no matter what you spill on them. Red wine stains will no longer ruin clothes. Garments will also be so strong that they will never get old and worn.• By the year 2025, no one will die of starvation because there will be food for everyone. No one will have to live on welfare as everyone will have jobsand discrimination will be a part of the past. There will therefore no longer be any conflict and people will be able to live together in peace and equality.• By the year 2030, development in biochemistry and medical science will have made it theoretically possible for us to live for at least 150 years. Tiny, insect-like robots may be sent around the cells of our bodies to assess our health and carry out repairs to keep us healthy.• By the middle of the century, computers that are millions of times smarter than us will have been developed. We will be linking our brains to these computers and a huge database. A new type of electronic human might have developed!• By the end of the century, we will have discovered other places in our solar system suitable for living and we will have discovered ways to go further into space.I'll be there in Newcastle this weekend. At nine o'clock on Saturday morning, I'll be sitting in the front row and listening to the great Professor Willard talking about the future of my brain. If you can't beat the future, join it— it's the dawn of a new world.Unit 20 Lesson 3 Scientific BreakthroughsPIONEERS OF SCIENCEIf you had to choose the single most important discovery of the 20th century, you would have a real dilemma on your hands. In just 100 years, the world changed completely. Amazing discoveries were made in medicine, communications and transport, not to mention our knowledge of the world and space. Medical advances ranged from discovering the causes of diseases under microscopes to surgical procedures replacing diseased organs with donated munications changed with the introduction of mobile phones and the way we correspond went from writing letters to emailing.We started flying around the world and meanwhile, scientists figured out how to split the atom, previously thought to be the smallest particle of matter in the universe.Although it is impossible to choose the most important discovery, it is possible to single out a few pioneers of the 20th century. Here are five of them.One of the 20th century's premier scientists was Albert Einstein. In the summer of 1905, this outspoken young man was rocking his one-year-old baby when he was suddenly inspired.“E=mc2” was born. E=mc2showed how a small piece of mass could produce an unbelievable amount of energy. Einstein then showed in his “theory of relativity” that not even time, mass or length are constant — they change according to our experience of them.Einstein had already become world-famous when a young ex-lawyer, returning from the First World War, started work in California. Using the most high-powered telescope of the time, he began the long, slow process of exploring our galaxy. Edwin Hubble was about to make astronomy's greatest breakthrough of the century. He discovered small areas of mist which were in fact galaxies like our own, millions of light years away from us, which proved that the universe was vastly larger than had previously been thought.In 1929, another far-reaching finding was made by the son of a Scottish shepherd. Before he went on holiday, biologist Alexander Fleming left a dish with bacteria in it in his laboratory.When he came back, he noticed something strange. He double-checked and saw a blue mould in the dish around which the bacteria had been destroyed.This blue mould was in fact the natural form of penicillin, which Fleming realised could be used to kill bacteria.A few years later, penicillin was being mass-produced and helping to save the lives of millions. Fleming remained modest about the amazing outcome of hisdiscovery.“Nature made penicillin,” he said, “I just found it.”During the Second World War, when Fleming's discovery was first helping to cure people, the US Navy was looking for ways of improving the accuracy of their missiles.The navy turned to Eckert, an engineer, and Mauchly, a physicist, to wrestle with the problem and produce a machine to do the job. Although they only finished after the war in 1946, it did not matter.This huge machine was the world's first computer, but it was nothing like our computers today. It measured 100 feet long by over 10 feet high and weighed over 30 tonnes. With 18,000 tubes, thousands of circuits and 6,000 switches, it used so much energy that when it was turned on, the lights in the local town went out!These pioneers of the 20th century were all dedicated to improving the quality of human life on earth, but sometimes breakthrough discoveries that have affected our lives today happened by mistake!For example, we are all grateful for the handy microwave oven that allows us to prepare meals in minutes and we have Percy Spencer to thank.This inventor, with 120 patents to his name, discovered microwaves when he was experimenting with radars and noticed a chocolate melting in his pocket.There is no doubt about it.Without the breakthroughs of these pioneers in science and technology, whether lucky or planned, the world as we know it today would have been a completely different place.Unit 21 Human Biology Lesson 1 Super Athletes100 metres in 8 seconds?Many contemporary amateur athletes would have broken world records if they had taken part in the first Olympic Games. Since then, records have fallen in track and field year after year as athletic performances have continually improved.If records fall, it is usually due to better equipment, training and diet, but recently, improvements have begun to slow down. At the 2000 Olympics, only three runners achieved Olympic bests with no world records. Some experts predict a ceiling for many events, such as 9.5 seconds for the 100 metres –Maurice Greene's current record is 9.79 seconds. However, past predictions have nearly always been proved wrong.When we talk about breaking records, we come across the issue of performance-enhancing drugs. These drugs are originally developed to help people with illnesses, but in the wrong hands, they create supreme athletes making them faster and stronger than is normal for human beings. Taking these drugs is known as “doping” and although they enhance performance, they also cause serious health problems in later life for those who abuse them.The sports world does not tolerate doping as it is a fundamental form of cheating. Ben Johnson would still be the 100 metres world record holder if he had not been caught taking drugs in the 1988 Olympics. Other records remain doubtful, like Florence Griffith's 100 metres record back in 1988.Did she take drugs? If American athlete Marion Jones hadn't taken drugs, would she have made it to the Olympics at all?Doping is not only a problem in athletics, it is part of every sport where athletes seek to achieve beyond their natural limits and are prepared to cheat to do so. In 2006 cycling fans worldwide were shocked when the winner of the annual cycling race, the Tour de France, was caught doping. Floyd Landis made several lame excuses blaming medicine he had been taking for an injury but these were all in vain. He failed two drug tests.Unfortunately, it is not easy to catch athletes using illegal drugs. It is compulsory for winners to be tested but other participants are only tested at random. New drugs are developed all the time and drug tests for sporting events are often one step behind.However, doping is not the only thing we need to worry about. Unless we are careful, “gene-therapy” will be the next big threat. For medical purposes, scientists have already found ways to build muscle and increase strength by changing people's genes. Gene-therapy is very controversial and many people oppose further research into it. If gene-therapy were used now, it would be almost impossible to find out. In the future, athletes who have their genes changed might be able to do the 100 metres dash in just 8 seconds or themarathon in less than two hours. However, if a generation of sports stars with enhanced genes were created, it would contradict the whole spirit of sport.The Olympic spirit — the spirit of competition which emphasises takingpart rather than winning — has been violated by the desire to succeed at all costs. In today's world, winners are celebrated and treated as heroes, but if doping and gene-therapy continue to affect the outcomes of major sporting events, theword “hero” will have lost all meaning.Unit 21 Lesson 3 Epidemics ExplainedAOne of the earliest epidemics on record happened about 500–550 AD when the Roman emperor at the time was attempting to rebuild the Roman Empire. This epidemic swept through North Africa, the Middle East and Europe.BSince the SARS epidemic ended, scientists have been doing trials on treatments to prohibit any future outbreaks. Modern communication technology and medical research techniques allow health experts all over the world to unite, share knowledge, and work together without pause to help put SARS behind us.CHaving killed up to 50 million people in 18months, with a tendency to strike the young and fit rather than the old, the Spanish Flu is believed to have been the most acute epidemic in history. More people died of the flu than diedin the war. Yet, somehow, itwas forgotten by history until very recently when SARS became a cause for concern.DOver nine months, the number of global cases passed 8,000 and 774 people died. Although these statistics are much less impressive than those for the Spanish Flu, SARS was still very alarming for a few key reasons.EIn the 1330's, the epidemic returned, this time in Asia. It spread rapidly and became known as “The Black Death” as one symptom was black spots on the body. The conditions in much of Asia and Europe — war, crowded cities and a lack of basic health routines — provided the perfect conditions for the disease to spread worldwide.Epidemics throughout historyWith recent press reports drawing parallels between Bird Flu and a killer epidemic in the past, Jim Smith looks through the history of epidemics for clues about what the future might hold.1 Since Bird Flu first appeared in 1997, it has taken more than a hundred lives. Many people fear it could be the next global epidemic, especially as scientists who studied tissue from the bodies of people who died of the 1918 Spanish Flu proved that Bird Flu is a modern adaptation of the same virus.2 Bacteria and viruses have been around since the beginning of life on Earth and many of today's diseases have existed as long as humans have. It is important to look at the spread of diseases throughout history to discover the causes and effects of epidemics, and hopefully, foresee and prevent them in the future.3 …4 Scientists now guess that up to 50% of the area's population died from this epidemic making it one of the main causes of the fall of the Roman Empire.5 …6 In urban areas all over Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East, up to one half of the population was lost to the Black Death.7 Another epidemic that spread in similar conditions was the Great Flu Epidemic of 1918, also called the Spanish Flu. It struck near the end of the First World War and left families mourning worldwide.8 …9 The SARS epidemic began in 2002 with a lung disease in Guangdong Province and spread quickly after Dr Liu Jianjun, the carrier, came to Hong Kong and passed the virus to people who carried it to Canada, Vietnam and Singapore.10 …11 No one really knew much about SARS as it was completely new. This meant that there were no prescription drugs or tablets to treat it and doctors were not sure how to prevent it either.Since most people had no natural defences against the disease, it was also harmful to the doctors and nurses treating SARS patients.12 …13 Meanwhile, governments worldwide have also underlined the fact that thorough and systematic medical research on Bird Flu needs to lead to a cure as soon as possible. Countries will need to work together to do this as the SARS epidemic proved how teamwork among nations can save lives. With all the international effort being made, we have to have faith that there will be solutions in time to stop a Bird Flu epidemic in its tracks.Unit 21 Lesson 3 Epidemics ExplainedEpidemics throughout historyWith recent press reports drawing parallels between Bird Flu and a killer epidemic in the past, Jim Smith looks through the history of epidemics for clues about what the future might hold.1 Since Bird Flu first appeared in 1997, it has taken more than a hundred lives.

This should be used as a basis for questions from the interviewer.Interviewers find it helpful to ask candidates about the way they behaved in difficult situations in the past, for example with an angry customer. These questions allow applicants to explain how they acted in a real-life situation and, consequently, give clues as to how they would act again in similar sit nations. Candidates are likely to tell the truth as speaking from memory leaves little time to invent what happened On the other hand questions which ask candidates to imagine how they would behave in a situation which they have probably never met are of little or no value. This is because they only provide answers about how candidates would hope to behave, and this might not match the actions they would actually take.In any interview candidates must be treated fairly, with questions asked in the same means and with no candidate's interview lasting considerably longer than any other's. Candidates should always be given the opportunity to ask questions throughout the interview.Jan Godley, head of HR at Aspley Supermarkets says: A company needs staff not only who have the fight qualifications and experience, but also who are happy to fit in with the company's way of doing things. Our managers have to accept the idea that everyone working here is a colleague (managers are always known by their first names), and that spending time actually in the store with colleagues and customers, rather than in their offices, is part of the job. For management posts, we organize pre interview group exercises to measure team-working and leadership skills, sometimes along with activities to assess personal qualifies.''In all our interviews we take into account body language. It is natural for candidates to show signs of being nervous at an interview but most relax after a few minutes and become more confident. How ever, if the nervousness continues until the end of the interview, especially when difficult questions are asked, we wouldbegin to have doubts about that candidate. Like all employers, we want to take on staff who are at ease with colleagues and customers so it is vital to watch the way candidates behave, as well as listen to what they have to say.'23. Why is asking candidates to imagine their reactions to a situation unhelpful?A. Candidates may have no experience of this situation.B. Candidates may act differently in the real-life situation.C. Candidates may never meet such a situation.24. According to the article, why are questions about a candidate's past behaviour useful?A. They prove the candidate will act appropriately in differentB. They show the candidate can remember details of the situation.C. They demonstrate how the candidate might act in the future.25. What does Jan Godley say about the managers in her company?A. They must spend some time with customers in the store.B. They must know the first names of all their staff.C. They must spend most of their time in their offices.26. According to the article, ______.A. Candidates should ask questions at the end of the interview.B. Interviews should all last for roughly the same length of time.C. Interviewers should ask all the candidates the same question.27. According to Jan Godley, how do candidates often behave at interviews?A. They show a lack of confidence at first.B. They are skilled at hiding their nervousness.C. They suddenly lose confidence when asked difficult questions,28. Management applicants at Aspley Supermarkets are ______ .A. assessed on their ability to work within a group.B. asked a number of questions about their personal qualities.C. asked to say what leadership skills the job will require.PART SIXQuestions 31—40●Read the information about London Transport Agents.●Choose the correct word to fill each gap.●For each question 29-40, mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer Sheet.This Working Life By Maureen DowdIn the world of business, it is not always easy for women to do the (29) things as men.

So that brings us back to dinner.One answer is to take another colleague or client to dinner (40) no one can think it is a tete-a-tete. Of course, this isn't always convenient.

2. Read the article and find out why more people prefer a career in marketing than in sales. Complete the table below with reasons from the text.
Reasons for choosing marketing Reasons for choosing sales
Not sold on sales?
‘Hi, I work in sales.’ not a great conversation opener, is it? Not like being a fighter pilot or a director of Medecins sans Frontieres, for example. Unfortunately, a job in sales can’t quite shake off its unglamorous image or associations with something rather dishonest. This all means recruitment problems for graduate employees. On the other hand, marketing – a less direct way of selling a product – is rather more popular as a career choice, and sounds better at dinner parties.

Part of the reason why graduates are often not interested in sales is because it isn’t seen as a profession. Clarissa Gent, a chemistry graduate and sales manager at Rackspace Managed Hosting, an IT support firm, says: ‘Careers departments don’t talk about sales and there is a lack of education about the different levels you can go to with it. I always thought marketing seemed more attractive, but it wasn’t the dynamic world I’d imagined. Then I talked to people in sales and realized that it is possible to be passionate about it. It soon became apparent that I was much more suited to sales. Now I speak to customers every day in the buzz of a target-driven environment. It’s fantastic.’
