Reading 1:
WHAT CHILDREN REMEMBER
Whether it’s holidays, great days out or lazy days at home, you hope your children
will retain happy memories of their childhoods. But often their treasured recollections
don’t match parental expectations.
Take my exasperated friend Sarah. Back on the train after a day at both the
Natural History and the Science museums with three children under 10, she asked: ‘So
what did you all learn?’ That if I bang my head on something hard, it’s going to hurt,’
came the reply from her six-year-old daughter. Roaring dinosaurs and an expensive lunch
had little impact, but the bump on a banister was destined to become family legend.
After I’d helped out on a school trip to Tate Modern art gallery, the teacher told me that
three of my five-year-old charges drew the escalators as their most memorable bit of the
day. ‘On a zoo trip, Luca liked the caterpillar best,’ says my friend Barbara. ‘Forget lions,
giraffes and gorillas. What made the most impression (and what he still talks about five
years later) is the time he found a caterpillar at the zoo."
Page 4 of 8


Food features large in other children’s memories. "Did you like going on the plane?
" a friend asked her three-year-old daughter after her first flight. I liked the crisps,’ came
the reply. Four years on, another friend’s daughter still remembers Menorca for the
tomato-flavoured crisps and Pembrokeshire for the dragon ice cream (ice cream in a
dragon-shaped pot). Last summer, Janey and her husband took their three children on a
three-week train trip around Europe. "We wanted to open their minds to the joys of travel
and experiencing different cultures," she says. "But the high point for them was the
Mickey Mouse-shaped ice cream. That was in Rome. I wonder whether the Coliseum

made any sort of impression."
But parenting expert Suzie Hayman is reassuring. "I think food figures high in
everybody’s memories," she says. I just have to think of hot chocolate and I’m
transported back to Paris. Adults tend to be less direct or simply try hard to come up to
other people’s expectations. The important thing is that you give your children lots of
stimulation. If you visit a museum, you can convey your appreciation for something. Just
don’t expect them to share it. It’s all about laying out the buffet and letting children pick.
What children want most is you - your attention, your approval, your time. They may
prefer the box to the present, but you’re still giving them variety for their memory pool.
It’s also important that they don’t grow up expecting that nappy times only equate with
spending money on expensive days out."
My nine-year-old has a memory theory: the more uncomfortable the bed, the
better the holiday. So sleeping on bathroom floors and bending Z-beds make for a
fantastic time and fluffy pillows and soft mattresses (more expensive) equal boring. This
is one unexpected memory I plan to nurture for years to come.
1. The writer's purpose in the article is to point out ________.
A. how difficult it is for children to remember the kind of things that adults
remember
B. how annoying children's memories Of past events can be for adults
C. how happy children's own memories of past events make them feel
D. how different children's memories are from what adults want them to remember
2. What do all of the memories mentioned in paragraph 2 have in common?
A. They concerned something unexpected that happened during a trip.
B. They were not connected with the main purpose of the trip.
C. They concerned trips that adults particularly enjoyed.
D. They were not things that the children remembered for long.
3. The food examples in paragraph 3 illustrate the fact that _________.
A. food is often what children remember about journeys
B. children's memories of past events frequently involve food
C. dlildren like talking about unusual food they have had

D. children keep their memories of unusual food for a long time
4. What does Suzje Hayman say about parents?
A. They should not expect their children to enjoy the same things that they enjoy.
B. They should not take their children on expensive days out.
C. They should not pay attention to what their children can remember the most.
D. They should not take their children to places that will not interest them.

5. It can be inferred frorn paragraph 5 that the writer thinks her child's memory theory
A. is different from that of other children
B. has an advantage for the writer
C. makes logical sense to the writer
D. is something that she shares with her child
Reading 2:
INTERNET JOBS
Contrary to popular belief, one does not have to be a trained programmer to work
online. Of course, there are plenty of jobs available for people with high-tech computer
skills, but the growth of new media has opened up a wide range of Internet career
opportunities requiring only a minimal level of technical expertise. Probably one of the
most well-known online job opportunities is the job of webmaster. However, it is hard to
define one basic job description for this position. The qualifications and responsibilities
depend on what tasks a particular organization needs a webmaster to perform.
To specify the job description of a webmaster, one needs to identify the hardware
and software that the website the webmaster will manage is running on. Different types
of hardware and software require different skill sets to manage them. Another key factor
is whether the website will be running internally (at the firm itself) or externally (renting
shared space on the company servers). Finally, the responsibilities of a webmaster also
depend on whether he or she will be working independently, or whether the firm will
provide people to help. All of these factors need to be considered before one can create

an accurate webmaster job description.
Webmaster is one type of Internet career requiring in-depth knowledge of the
latest computer applications. However, there are also online jobs available for which
traditional skills remain in high demand. Content jobs require excellent writing skills and
a good sense of the web as a "new media".
The term "new media" is difficult to define because it encompasses a constantly
growing set of new technologies and skills. Specifically, it includes websites, email,
Internet technology, CD-ROM, DVD, streaming audio and video, interactive multimedia
presentations, e-books, digital music, computer illustration, video games, virtually reality,
and computer artistry.
Additionally, many of today’s Internet careers are becoming paid-by-the-job
professions. With many companies having to downsize in tough economic items, the
outsourcing and contracting of freelance workers online has become common business
practice. The Internet provides an infinite pool of buyers from around the world with
whom freelancers are able to work on projects with companies outside their own country
of residence.
How much can a person make in these kinds of career? As with many questions
related to today’s evolving technology, there is no simple answer. There are many
companies willing to pay people with technical Internet skills salaries well above $70,000
a year. Generally, webmasters start at about $30,000 per year, but salaries can vary
greatly. Freelance writers working online have been known to make between $40,000
and 70,000 per year.
