Read the text about three
famous people’s first jobs and for questions 1 to 6, choose the correct answer.
Famous people’s first jobs
Not all famous people were
born into famous families. A lot of them had normal lives before becoming
famous. They also had jobs like the rest of us. Here are just a few:
Former President Obama
worked at an ice-cream parlour selling ice-cream cones. He was in high school
in Honolulu, Hawaii and said it was quite hard. He also said that the job
taught him about responsibility, hard work and how to spend time with work,
friends and family.
Brad Pitt had a weird job
when he was younger. He worked as a chicken! That’s right. He worked at a
restaurant called El Pollo Loco in Hollywood, and his job was to dress up like
a chicken and wave at the cars on the road. In fact, if you go on a “See the
Stars” tour in Hollywood, many of them will take you past the same restaurant
where Brad used to work.
Maybe the strangest path in
life was that of Pope Francis. When he was young in Argentina, he worked
several jobs before joining the Jesuits and dedicating his life to religion. He
worked as a cleaner sweeping floors, a chemical tester at a laboratory and as a
bouncer at a bar! Yes, the pope was the person responsible for security at a
bar in case anything wrong happened. Can you imagine?!
1. Who helped protect
people?
a. President Obama
b. Brad Pitt

Вопрос 3
Read an article about the
different cultural expectations of a leader. Are the sentences below true or
false?
Gabriela worked for a
multinational company as a successful project manager in Brazil and was
transferred to manage a team in Sweden. She was excited about her new role but
soon realised that managing her new team would be a challenge.
Despite their friendliness,
Gabriela didn't feel respected as a leader. Her new staff would question her
proposals openly in meetings, and when she gave them instructions on how to
carry out a task, they would often go about it in their own way without
checking with her. When she announced her decisions on the project, they would
continue giving their opinions as if it was still up for discussion.
After weeks of frustration,
Gabriela emailed her Swedish manager about the issues she was facing with her
team. Her manager simply asked her if she felt her team was still performing,
and what she thought would help her better collaborate with her team members.
Gabriela found her manager vague and didn't feel as if he was managing the
situation satisfactorily.
What Gabriela was
experiencing was a cultural clash in expectations. She was used to a more
hierarchical framework where the team leader and manager took control and gave
specific instructions on how things were to be done. This more directive
management style worked well for her and her team in Brazil but did not
transfer well to her new team in Sweden, who were more used to a flatter
hierarchy where decision making was more democratic. When Gabriela took the
issue to her Swedish manager, rather than stepping in with directions about
what to do, her manager took on the role of coach and focused on getting her to
come up with her own solutions instead.
Dutch social psychologist
Geert Hofstede uses the concept of 'power distance' to describe how power is
distributed and how hierarchy is perceived in different cultures. In her
previous work environment, Gabriela was used to a high power distance culture
where power and authority are respected and everyone has their rightful place.
In such a culture, leaders make the big decisions and are not often challenged.
Her Swedish team, however, were used to working in a low power distance culture
where subordinates often work together with their bosses to find solutions and
make decisions. Here, leaders act as coaches or mentors who encourage
independent thought and expect to be challenged.
When Gabriela became aware
of the cultural differences between her and her team, she took the initiative
to have an open conversation with them about their feelings about her
leadership. Pleased to be asked for their thoughts, Gabriela's team openly
expressed that they were not used to being told what to do. They enjoyed having
more room for initiative and creative freedom. When she told her team exactly
what she needed them to do, they felt that she didn't trust them to do their
job well. They realised that Gabriela was taking it personally when they tried
to challenge or make changes to her decisions, and were able to explain that it
was how they'd always worked.
With a better understanding
of the underlying reasons behind each other's behaviour, Gabriela and her team
were able to adapt their way of working. Gabriela was then able to make
adjustments to her management style so as to better fit the expectations of her
team and more effectively motivate her team to achieve their goals.
1. Gabriela's management
style worked well with her team in Brazil but not with her team in Sweden.
True
False
2. Gabriela's team
questioned her proposals and her decisions because they didn't trust or respect
her.
True
False
3. Gabriela was satisfied
with her Swedish manager's way of dealing with her problem.
True
False
4. Gabriela found it
helpful to talk openly with her team about the differences in their
expectations.

False
5. Gabriela faced a problem
with her Swedish team because her management style was old-fashioned and wrong
for the modern world.
True
False
6. The author believes that
people from high power distance cultures and low power distance cultures should
never work together.
True
False

Вопрос 3
Read an article about how people at different ages use computers and
smartphones. Are the sentences below true or false?
Today's grandparents are joining their grandchildren on social media, but
the different generations' online habits couldn't be more different. In the UK
the over-55s are joining Facebook in increasing numbers, meaning that they will
soon be the site's second biggest user group, with 3.5 million users aged 55–64
and 2.9 million over-65s.
Sheila, aged 59, says, 'I joined to see what my grandchildren are doing, as
my daughter posts videos and photos of them. It's a much better way to see what
they're doing than waiting for letters and photos in the post. That's how we did
it when I was a child, but I think I'm lucky I get to see so much more of their
lives than my grandparents did.'
Ironically, Sheila's grandchildren are less likely to use Facebook
themselves. Children under 17 in the UK are leaving the site – only 2.2 million
users are under 17 – but they're not going far from their smartphones. Chloe,
aged 15, even sleeps with her phone. 'It's my alarm clock so I have to,' she
says. 'I look at it before I go to sleep and as soon as I wake up.'
Unlike her grandmother's generation, Chloe's age group is spending so much
time on their phones at home that they are missing out on spending time with
their friends in real life. Sheila, on the other hand, has made contact with
old friends from school she hasn't heard from in forty years. 'We use Facebook
to arrange to meet all over the country,' she says. 'It's changed my social
life completely.'
Teenagers might have their parents to thank for their smartphone and social
media addiction as their parents were the early adopters of the smartphone.
Peter, 38 and father of two teenagers, reports that he used to be on his phone
or laptop constantly. 'I was always connected and I felt like I was always
working,' he says. 'How could I tell my kids to get off their phones if I was
always in front of a screen myself?' So, in the evenings and at weekends, he
takes his SIM card out of his smartphone and puts it into an old-style mobile
phone that can only make calls and send text messages. 'I'm not completely cut
off from the world in case of emergencies, but the important thing is I'm
setting a better example to my kids and spending more quality time with them.'
Is it only a matter of time until the generation above and below Peter
catches up with the new trend for a less digital life?
1. More people aged 55 or more use Facebook than people aged 65 or more.
True
False
2. Grandparents typically use Facebook less than their grandchildren.
True
False
3. Sheila feels grateful to social media.
True
False
4. Peter found his own
smartphone use affected how he felt about how much his children used their
phones.
True
False
5. Peter has changed how
much he uses his phone during the working day.
True
False
6. Peter feels that the
changes make him a better parent.

Вопрос 1
Complete this article with
appropriate words and expressions from the Glossary. You may need to change the
form of some of the words.
“Science and technology
have come a long way in the last 60 years, and our lives have become better as
a result. Do you agree with this statement?”
The second half of the
twentieth century saw more changes than in the previous two hundred years.
Penicillin has already been
and used to treat
infections; there have been many remarkable advances in medicine that have
helped to increase our average
way beyond that of our
ancestors. Incredible
(or innovations) such as
television have changed the way we spend our leisure hours. Perhaps the most
important
, however, has been the
microchip. Nobody could have imagined, when it was first
, that within a matter of
years, this tiny piece of silicon and circuitry would be found in almost every
household object from the kettle to the DVD recorder. And nobody could have
predicted the sudden proliferation of computers that would completely change
our lives, allowing us to access information from the other side of the world
via the Internet or send messages around the world by e-mail at the touch of a
button. Meanwhile,
into other aspects of
information technology is making it easier and cheaper for us to talk to
friends and relations around the world. Good news for
who love modern technology,
bad news for the
who would prefer to hide
from these modern miracles.
But everything has a price.
The development of
led to mass automation in
factories, which in turn led to millions losing their jobs. The genius of
Einstein led to the horrors of the atomic bomb and the dangerous uncertainties
of
(we hear of accidents and
mishaps at nuclear power stations around the world, where
to prevent accidents were
inadequate). The relatively new science of
has been seen as a major
step forward, but putting modified foods onto the market before scientists had
properly
them was perhaps one of the
most irresponsible decisions of the 1990s. Meanwhile, pharmaceutical and
cosmetic companies continue to
on animals, a move that
many consider to be cruel and unnecessary.
Of course we all rely on
modern science and technology to improve our lives. However, we need to make
sure that we
it rather than the other
way round.

Вопрос 3
What is the future of
artificial intelligence (AI)? Will it be possible for robots to be autonomous?
If so, when will that happen and will it be a good thing? We asked four experts
what they think. Read the questions and choose the correct expert (A–D).
Robots: friend or foe?
A
I would say that we are
quite a long way off developing the computing power or the algorithms for fully
autonomous AI, though I do think it will happen within the next thirty or forty
years. We will probably remain in control of technology and it will help us
solve many of the world’s problems. However, no one really knows what will
happen if machines become more intelligent than humans. They may help us,
ignore us or destroy us. I tend to believe AI will have a positive influence on
our future lives, but whether that is true will be partly up to us.
B
I have to admit that the
potential consequences of creating something that can match or surpass human
intelligence frighten me. Even now, scientists are teaching computers how to
learn on their own. At some point in the near future, their intelligence may
well take off and develop at an ever-increasing speed. Human beings evolve
biologically very slowly and we would be quickly superseded. In the short term,
there is the danger that robots will take over millions of human jobs, creating
a large underclass of unemployed people. This could mean large-scale poverty
and social unrest. In the long term, machines might decide the world would be
better without humans.
C
Personally, I think it’s fascinating
to consider how we’ll speed up our evolution as a species by augmenting our
bodies. Imagine if you could implant a computer inside our brain! Soon we’ll be
able to do just that and enhance our mathematical ability, audiovisual
perception and our memory, and this idea is only going to become more and more
commonplace. AI is also popping up in the world around us. Recent developments
include self-driving cars and drones carrying life-saving equipment to people
at sea. Granted, there have been a few teething problems: one woman who was
asleep on the floor had her hair eaten by her robot vacuum cleaner and there
have been fatal accidents with self-driving cars. But progress always comes at
a cost, and for me the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.
D
I’m a member of the
Campaign to Stop Killer Robots. Forget the movie image of a terrifying
Terminator stamping on human skulls and think of what’s happening right now:
military machines like drones, gun turrets and sentry robots are already being
used to kill with very little human input. The next step will be autonomous
‘murderbots’, following orders but ultimately deciding who to kill on their
own. It seems clear to me that this would be completely unethical and dangerous
for humanity. We need to be very cautious indeed about what we ask machines to
do.
1. Which expert has a
different view from the others regarding the timescale of AI becoming much more
autonomous?
Expert A
Expert B
Expert C
Expert D
2. Which expert has a
similar view to A about the responsibility humans have for the future of AI?
Expert A
Expert B
Expert C
Expert D
3. Which expert agrees with
B that the negative aspects of AI far outweigh the positive aspects?
Expert A
Expert B
Expert C
Expert D
4. Which expert seems to
disagree with B about how fast humans can change?
Expert A
Expert B
Expert C
Expert D
5. Which expert gives their opinion about what will happen with the same
level of certainty as D?
