Exercise 1.

JOSEPH PULITZER

Joseph Pulitzer was born in 1874 in Maki, Hungary. He emigrated to the United States when he was
seventeen years old, and was naturalized on his twentieth birthday. He spent his career in journalism
working in the mid-west and New York. From 1871 he was also the owner or part- owner of many
newspapers. His most famous newspaper was the New York World (which many believe was the model for
the Daily Planet of the Superman stories). The world campaigned against corruption, and exposed many
scandals. It was also a strong supporter of the rights of the working man.

In later life, Joseph Pulitzer collapsed from overwork, and lost his sight. He became dedicated to
improving the quality of journalism in America, and donated $1million to Columbia University to found a
school of journalism. However, his most significant contribution was the establishment of the Pulitzer prizes
in his will.

These prizes for excellence in journalism have been given every year since 1917 by Columbia
University. Since 1942 there have been extra categories for press photography, and later still for criticism,
feature writing and commentary. The prize was originally for $500, but today the winners of the prize
receive a gold medal. However, the real value of the prize is that it confirms that the journalist who has
received the award is the best American journalist of the year- a fact that is worth much more than $500 to
the journalist and to the newspaper that employs him or her.

1. During the last years of his life, Joseph Pulitzer

A. twenty years after he arrived in the United States. B. in 1867.

C. after contribution $1million to a university. D. when he was 17 years old.

Exercise 3

Clothing is a distinctly human artifact. Even more than the use of tools, it distinguishes humans from
the other creatures on this planet. While there are other creatures which use implements to a greater or lesser
degree, clothing is unique to humanity. Clothing is also uniquely human, in that it serves more than one
function.

The basic purpose of clothing was utilitarian. By putting on an artificial skin, humans were able to
move into regions for which they would otherwise have been unsuited. An extreme example of this use of
clothing can be seen among the Eskimos, and other people who live in extreme climates. However, clothing
was not only used for protection from the elements, but has also been a means of displaying one's status and
sense of style for as long as humans have had civilization. Thus clothing also developed in countries where
there is no real practical need for it, apart from the other, very human function of preserving the modesty of
the wearer.

</div>
(14)<div class='page_container' data-page=14>

regarded as legitimate members of that country's armed forces.

Uniforms can also be less formal. Anyone who has seen a group of teenagers walking together will
have noticed that their clothing conforms to the standard set by their particular group. Nor are teens the only
ones who are subject to such pressures. It is a rare businessman who does not feel the need to wear a suit and
tie. Most politicians also try to be neat and well-dressed. People who wish to impress others often do so by
the selection of their clothes-sometimes by choosing more expensive versions. This can be seen particularly
in the fashion industry, where clothing by a particular designer fetches prices which are out of all proportion
to the actual utilitarian value of the material.

Therefore, even though we are steadily managing to adjust our micro-environments to temperatures
which are as close to ideal as the human body wants, and even though sexual taboos of undress are being
steadily eroded, it is highly unlikely that there will be no use for clothing in our future, unless humanity
evolves into a completely new species.

1. Clothes are uniquely human because they_________.

A. are artifacts B have many different functions
C. are made by tools D. are worn when they are unnecessary
2. Which of the following does the author NOT give as a function of clothing?

A. To show how wealthy or powerful the wearer is

Exercise 4

Who talk more - men or women? Most people believe that women talk more. However, linguist
Deborah Tannen, who has studied the communication style of men and women, says that this is a stereotype.
According to Tannen, women are more verbal - talk more - in private situations, where they use conversation
as the "glue" to hold relationships together. But, she says, men talk more in public situations, where they use
conversation to exchange information and gain status. Tannen points out that we can see these differences
even in children. Little girls often play with one "best friend", their play includes a lot of conversation. Little

boys often play games in groups; their play usually involves more doing than talking. In school, girls are
often better at verbal skills, boys are often better at mathematics.

A recent study at Emory University helps to shed light on the roots of this difference. Researchers
studied conversation between children age 3-6 and their parents. They found evidence that parents talk very
differently to their son than they do to their daughters. The startling conclusion was that parents use more
language with their girls. Specifically, when parents talk with their daughters, they use more descriptive
language and more details. There is also far more talk about emotions, especially sadness, with daughters
than with sons.

3. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the first paragraph?

Exercise 5

If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a disaster.
According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which ambitious
parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his parents expect, and will fail.
Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children.

However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are ambitious in a
sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well – especially if the parents are very supportive of their
child. Michael Collins is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to
concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice a
week for violin lessons. Michael’s mother knows very little about music, but his father plays the trumpet in a
large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling. Winston
Smith, Michael’s friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful musicians, and they set too
high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him for
every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. Winston is always afraid that
he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.

1. One of the serious mistakes parents can make is to ______.

A. push their child into trying too much B. help their child to become a genius
C. make their child become a musician D. neglect their child’s education
2. Who have criticized the methods of some ambitious parents? ______.

A. Successful musicians B. Unrealistic parents
