Line

It is an accepted part of everyday nostalgic to assume that in the past
2
3 food was somehow better than it is today. The fruit and vegetables were more
4 naturally grow and this was not seen as an extra bonus which added ten per sent
5 on to the price. Most food was fresh, not frozen, and you had the chance to
6 examine it to see whether you wanted it. When you went shopping you could ask
7 for exactly what piece of meat you wanted and see the butcher to cut it instead
8
of finding it ready-wrapped in plastic. And your local trademan soon, got to know
9
what you wanted, and provided it for you; otherwise he would have gone out of
10
11 business. Of course, unless we invent time-travel we shall never know whether
12 this is all true.
13 Survivors from those distant days naturally tend to dislike today's
14 convenient foods, and to prefer the Good Old Days when a joint of beef filled
15
the oven, produced thick red juice instead of water when cooked, and cost the
16
17 same as a can of Coke. What is always forgotten is that then as now the quantity
18 of your food depended very much upon who you were, how well-off you
19 happened to be, and where you lived. Shopping then demanded considerable
20 skills, and shoppers had to be able to tell the fresh from the not so fresh. Their
21 was no sell-buy date to act as a guide. If you were hard up then frozen meat and
22 canned foods would have been in the menu, just as they are today.

TO SPANK OR NOT TO SPANK
UP - Minneapolis, MN - A father was recently arrested by the police for spanking
his child, starting a debate among the American public about spanking. Is spanking, or
other types of corporal punishment, an acceptable form of discipline for children? Or is it
a form of child abuse?
The case that has everyone talking is the arrest of Dale Clover, a thirty-six-year-old
father of three, at a shopping mall in St. Louis, Missouri. He was arrested after an employee
at the mall saw him spanking his five-year-old son, Donny, and called the police. The father
was arrested for child abuse. Mr. Clover admits that he hit his son but says that it wasn’t
child abuse. He says it was discipline.
Across the country, parents ,disagree on this issue: What is the difference between
loving discipline and child abuse? Some parents like Rhonda Moore see a clear difference
between spanking and child abuse. Rhonda Moore believes a little bit of pain is necessary
to teach a child what is right and wrong. “It’s like burning your hand when you touch a hot
stove. Pain is nature’s way of teaching us.” Moore believes that spanking is done out of
love, but child abuse is done out of anger, when the parent loses control. “When I spank
my children, I always talk to them before and afterward, and explain why they are being
spanked. I explain what they did wrong, and they remember not to do it again.” Moore says
that her children respect her as a parent and understand that she is spanking them for their
own good.
In contrast, Taylor Robinson, father of four, feels that parents should never hit their
children for any reason. Robinson wants his children to learn right and wrong, but not
because they are afraid of being hit. “Spanking teaches children to fear their parents, not
respect them. When a parent spanks a child, what the child learns is that problems should
be solved with violence.” Robinson believes that children learn that it is acceptable for
parents to hurt their children. “None of these are lessons that I want to teach my children.
I want my children to learn to talk about their problems and solve them without violence,
but spanking doesn’t teach that.”
Parents are split about corporal punishment, and doctors also disagree about the
issue. Dr. John Oparah thinks our child abuse laws sometimes go too far: that is, they make
it difficult for parents to discipline their children. Oparah says that today many children do
not respect their parents. “Children need strong, loving discipline. Sometimes spanking is
the best way to get a child’s attention, to make sure the child listens to the parent.” Oparah
says that he knows loving parents who have had police officers come to their home because
their children have reported being spanked. Oparah believes parents should not be treated
like criminals. “As a society, we complain all the time that your young people are getting
into more and more trouble, committing crimes - yet when parents try to control their
children, they’re punished. Some parents are afraid to discipline their children because their
neighbors might call the police.”
Most doctors, however, say that there are many harmful effects of spanking. Dr.
Beverly Lau is opposed to spanking. Lau argues that spanking can lead to more violent
behavior in children. She points to research that shows that children who are spanked are
more violent when they grow up. “A child may stop misbehaving for the moment, but over
time, children who are spanked actually misbehave more than children who are not
spanked.” Lau adds that research shows that if you want a peaceful family, parents should
not spank their children.
The issue of spanking and corporal punishment will continue to be debated among
parents and in the courts. In the meantime, if he is convicted of child abuse, Dale Clover
could get up to five years in prison.

Part 4. Read the following extract and answer questions 1-10. (15 points)
The history of writing
Paragraph 1 ______
 The earliest stage of writing is called pre-writing or proto-literacy, and depends on
direct representation of objects, rather than representing them with letters or other symbols.
Evidence for this stage, in the form of rock and cave paintings, dates back to about 15,000
years ago, although the exact dates are debatable. This kind of proto-literate cave painting
has been found in Europe. With the best known examples in Southwestern Prance, but also
in Africa and on parts of the American continent. These petrographs (pictures on rock)
show typical scenes of the period, and in clude representations of people, animals and
activities. Most are astonishingly beautiful, with a vibrancy and immediacy that we still
recognise today. They are painted with pigments made from natural materials including
crushed stones and minerals, animal products such as blood, ashes, plant materials of all
kinds, and they produce a wide range of colours and hues.
Paragraph 2 ______
Why did ancient people put such effort into making them? Various theories have
been put forward, but the most compelling include the idea that the pictures were records
of heroic deeds pr important events, that theu were part of magical ceremonies, or that they
were a form of primitive calendar, recording the changes in the season as they happened.
These, then, are all explanation aas to why man started to write.
Paragraph 3 ______
A related theory suggests that the need for writing arose thereafter from the
transactions and bartering what went on.In parts of what is now Iraq and Iran, small pieces
of fired earth-pottery have been found which appear to have been used as tokens to
represent bartered objects, much as we use tokens in a casino, or money, today. Eventually,
when the tokens themselves became too numerous to handle easily, representations of the
tokens were inscribed on clay tablets.
Paragraph 4 ______
An early form of writing is the use of pictograms, which are pictures used to
communicate. Pictograms have been found from almost every part of the world and every
era of development, and are still in use in primitive communities nowadays. They represent
objects, ideas or concepts more or less directly. They tend to be simple in the sense that
they are not a complex or full picture, although they are impressively difficult to interpret
to an outsider unfamiliar with their iconography, which tends to be localized and to differ
widely from society to society. They ere never intended to be a detailed testimony which
could be interpreted by outsiders, but to serve instead as aside-memoires to the author,
rather as we might keep a diary in a persoanl shorthand. However, some modern
pictograms are more or less universally recognised, such as the signs which indicate men’s
and women’s toilets, or road signs, which tend to be very similar throughout the world.
Paragraph 5 ______
The first pictograms that we know of are Sumerian in origin, and date to about 8000
BC. They show how images used to represent concrete objects could be expanded to
include abstractions by adding symbols together, or using associated symbols. One
Sumerian pictogram, for example, indicates ‘death combining the symbols for “man” and
“winter”; another shows “power” with the symbol for a man with the hands enlarged.
Paragraph 6 ______
By about 5,000 years ago, Sumerian pictograms had spread to other ares, and the
Sumerians had made a major advance towards modern writing with the development of the
rebus principle, which meant that symbols could be used to indicate sounds. This was done
by using a particular symbol not only for the thng it originally represented, but also for any
thing which was pronounced in a similar way. So the pictogram for na (meaning ‘animal’)
could also be used to mean ‘old’ (which was also pronounced na). The specific meaning of
the pictogram (whether na meant ‘old’ or ‘animal’) could only be decided through its
context.
Paragraph 7 ______
It is a short step from this to the development of syllabic writing ysing pictograms, and
this next development took about another half a century. Now, the Sumerians would add
pictograms to each other so that each, prepresenting an individual sound or syllable, formed
part of a larger word. This pictograms representing the syllables he, na and mi (‘mother,
‘old’, ‘my’) could be put together to form hemani or ‘grandmother’

PART 3:

Jackie: Good morning, Power Net Software, this is Jackie. Can I help you?

David: Hi, I've been trying to order some of your software from the website but there seems to be a

problem because my order didn't go through.

4
Jackie: Oh, I'm sorry about that Sir. The technical department sent everyone a memo this morning

saying there was a problem with one of the servers. That's probably why you had some difficulty.

David: Would it be possible for me to place my order through you now? I really need this software as

soon as possible. It's for my work you see. I don't want to have to wait until tomorrow as I might be

out seeing customers.

Jackie: OK, sure. Now then, what is it you would like to order from us?

David: Your site had a great offer on something called Viva Voce. The price was something like 25%

off the normal recommended retail price. Could you tell me something more about this product

please?

Jackie: Well, I'm afraid that price is only available for those of our customers who order through our

site.

David: That's hardly fair, is it? I just tried to order through your site and, as I told you, the sale

wouldn't go through. Can't you give me that discount anyway?

Jackie: Yeah, I think that would be alright. It's not as if it's your fault. Now, what did you want to

know about Viva Voce? It's one of our best selling products.

David: Do you have that program also in the Professional edition? I only saw the Standard edition but

we need the extra recording software which comes with the Professional edition.

Jackie: Fine, let's have a look ... Yes, we have the Professional edition and that is also discounted

25%.

David: Now, in our office, there are both Windows and Mac computers. How much is the Mac version

of this software? I don't want to have to pay too much more.

Jackie: Hmmm, we don't seem to have the Mac version in stock at the moment. It's arriving this

evening or tomorrow morning.

5
David: One more question for you and then I'll be done. Is there a microphone included with the

software? I tried to find out from your website but it didn't seem to be very clear whether there was a

mic included or not.

Jackie: Yes, all our speech recognition software comes with a free microphone although, between you

and me, the quality isn't the best. I would recommend you buy a higher quality one, especially if you

are planning to use this for your work.

David: Thanks a lot for that information. Those free mics are usually pretty poor, aren't they? OK,

we're done. I have ordered through you before and my customer number is 794791. You should have

all my contact information and credit card number on file.

Jackie: 794791 ... let's see, oh yes. Here you are, Mr. David Thompson, is that correct?

David: Yes, that's me. How long will the delivery take?

Jackie: You should have this by Wednesday. Can I just confirm then - you want one Windows edition

and one Mac edition when it comes through to us this evening or tomorrow?

David: No, just send me the one Windows Professional. We'll just have to do all the speech

recognition work on the Windows computers, it's not such a big deal.

Jackie: Great. Thanks for calling Power Net Software. Have a nice morning.

David: Thanks very much, goodbye.
