Mr Kurzweil joked that many years ago, people thought he was a little crazy for predicting

changed the way they think. He said: “My views are not radical any more. I've actually stayed (4)______.
It's the rest of the world that's changing its View.” He highlighted examples of high-tech things we use,
see or read about every day. These things make us believe that computers have intelligence. He said

technology) (5)______ you talk to a computer, they've seen the Google self-driving cars."

communication is even more relaxed and informal than either email or phone calls. Text

(1) _______ in the past scientists have looked at things such as diet and lifestyle for

Topol, who says, “There must be genes that explain why these individuals are p r o t e c t e d f r o m

The new research into long life looks at groups of people who have a genetic connection.
For example, one group of interest lives in Ecuador. In one area of the country there are a number

mea ns that they don't grow to more than about one metre, but it also seems to give them

their families. Meanwhile, on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, there’s another group of long-lived
men, japanese-Americans. They have a similar gene to the Laron syndrome group.

A (1) _____ teacher can reach thousands of students in an online course, opening up a world of
knowledge to anyone with an internet connection. This limitless reach also offers substantial benefits for
school districts that need to save money, by reducing the number of teachers. (2) _____, in high schools

the less proficient students (3) _____ are precisely those most in need of skilled classroom teachers.
Online courses can be broken down into several categories, and some are more effective than others.
In "blended” courses, for example, students don’t do their work only online: They also spend time
in a classroom with a flesh-and-blood teacher. Research suggests that students - at nearly all levels of
achievement - do just as well in these blended classes as they do in traditional classrooms. In this model,
online resources supplement traditional instruction but don’t replace it. In the fully online model, on the
other hand, a student may never be in the same room with an instructor. This category is the main
problem. It is where less proficient students tend to 4) _____ trouble. After all, taking a class without

are a conscious choice. Family relationships can be serious, negative and monotonous." The
research included two studies - one a broad survey of nearly 300,000 people, aged between 15 and

were healthier and happier (according to their own reports), especially as they got older. The
second study used data from a US survey of 7,481 people over 50. Subjects were questioned about
the quality of their friendships - how much friends understood them and how much they let them
down.
When friendships were reported as being stressful, people reported (2) ______
rates of
disease. When friends were supportive, people were healthier. Most of the friendships were
reported as being supportive. Family, (3) ______, were found to have little influence on an
individual's health and wellbeing. Spouses and children had some effect, but not as much as
friends.
Chopik says he isn't suggesting we ignore our families, but that friends make us feel better.
With friends you are more likely (4) ______do activities - they provide an outlet. You
can say things to friends and they are less judgmental. There is a distance there that provides a level

The labor force rose by 601,000 people last month, driving the proportion of the civilian adult

orchestra known as Les vinq-quatre violons du Roy (The King's 24 Violins), which was to become widely
famous later in the century.
In its early history, the violin had a dull and rather quiet tone resulting from the fact that the
strings were thick and were attached to the body of the instrument very loosely. During the eighteenth and
nineteenth century, exciting technical changes were inspired by such composer-violinists as Vivaldi and
Tartini. Their (3) ______ compositions demanded a fuller, clearer, and more brilliant tone that was

Despite these drawbacks, (1) _______the retirement age is still considered by
policymakers as one of the key solutions to the ageing population problem in Vietnam, But these are
only temporary solutions. Complementary long-term solutions such as increasing labor productivity
must also be examined.
As Vietnam has specialized in manufacturing with its competitive advantage of a cheap
labor force in the global supply chain, (2) _______higher education should be reoriented to
focus more on vocational training rather than university degrees. The Vietnamese government
has already taken action by simplifying the entrance exam to university. Previously, Vietnam's
national entrance exam was very difficult and only a limited number of the most talented citizens
managed to enter universities.
However, as living standards in Vietnam improve and more families can afford to send their
children to university, universities have become more commercialized and entering university is
no longer a rare achievement. The low quality of Vietnamese universities also means the
majority of graduating students are unable to find an appropriate job. By simplifying entrance
exams to deemphasise university degrees, the government has encouraged students to opt for
vocational training. (3) _______, 2016 saw a remarkable decrease in the number of students
applying (4) _______university.
Another supplementary policy is to have productivity-based rather than seniority-based salaries,
(5)_______ are common in Asian countries. This would address public concern about aged seniors
doing less work for more pay than younger employees. Companies and government agencies would
employ and appreciate the young while benefiting from the experience of the old. But this issue
feeds the Communist regime's dilemma between adhering to Communist principles and integrating
into the capitalist culture of productivity for profits.
