Do you know how to look up words in a dictionary, and do you understand all the information the dictionary contains? Can you (3) notes quickly, and can you understand them afterwards? For some reasons, many schools give learners no (4) with these matters. Teachers ask students to memorize pages from books, or tell them to write ten pages, but don’t explain (5) to do it.

(1) homework today still means spending time in the library, it’s for a different reason. Rather than using books for research, students today are (2) to the Internet to download enormous amounts of data available online. In the past, students were limited to their school’s (3) of books. In many cases, they got to the school library and found out that someone had already taken the books they needed. Nowadays, such inconvenience can be avoided since the Internet never runs out of information. Students, however, do have to (4) sure that the information they find online is true. Teachers have also benefited from the homework which is done on the Internet. They do not need to carry students’ papers around with them any more. This is because online (5) allow students to electronically upload their homework for their teachers to read and mark. Of course, this also means that students can no longer use the excuse that the dog ate their homework! (Adapted from “Gold Pre–first Exam Maximizer,” by H. Chilton & L.

She had seen several (2) in the newspaper for student teachers of English abroad, and she was interested in one in Italy, which she was desperate to visit. She decided that this would be a good way to achieve her ambition, so she was writing to apply for the job. The reply took a long time to arrive, but eventually she received a letter asking if she would go for an interview in London the following week. She was so excited that she immediately got in touch with the school owner and agreed to attend the interview. She was determined that nothing would prevent her (3) doing what she had set out to do. A few days before the interview she had a very strange dream in which she gave birth to a beautiful baby.

In general, these are all the natural, man-made, and human resources that go into the 1) of goods and services. Economic resources can be broken down into two general categories: property resource – land and capital, and human resources – labor and entrepreneurial skills. What do economists mean (2) land? Much more than the non-economist, land refers to all the natural resources that are usable in the production process: arable land, forests, mineral and oil deposits, and (3) on. What about capital? Capital goods are all the man-made aids to producing, storing, transporting, and distributing goods and services. Capital goods differ from consumer goods in that (4) satisfy wants directly, while the former do so indirectly by facilitating the production of consumer goods. It should be noted that capital as defined here does not refer to money. Money, as such, produces nothing. The term labor refers to the physical and mental talents of humans used to produce goods and services (with the exception of a certain set of human talents, entrepreneurial skills, which will be considered separately because of their special significance). Thus the services of a factory worker or an office worker, a ballet (5) or an astronaut all fall under the general heading of labor.

AS OLD AS YOU FEEL It might after all be true that you are only as old as you feel. A British clinic is carrying out new high-tech tests to calculate the “real” biological age of patients (1) on the rate of physical deterioration. Information on every aspect of a patient’s health, fitness, lifestyle and family medical history is (2) into a computer to work out whether they are older or younger than their calendar age suggests. The availability and increasing accuracy of the tests has prompted one leading British gerontologist to call for biological age to be used to determine when workers should retire. He (3) that if an employee’s biological or “real” age is shown, for example, to be 55 when he reaches his 65th birthday, he should be incited to work for another decade. Apparently most employers only take into (4) a person’s calendar years, and the two may differ considerably. Some of those prepared to pay a substantial sum of money for the examinations will be able to smugly walk away with medical evidence showing that they really are as young as they feel, giving them the confidence to act and dress as if they were younger. Dr Lynette Yong, resident doctor at the clinic where the tests are offered claims that the purpose of these tests will be to motivate people to (5) their health. The concept of “real” age is set to become big business in the USA with books and websites helping people work out whether their body is older or younger than their years. Others firmly believe that looks will always be the best indicator of age.

All plants rely on nutrients taken from the soil in order to survive. However, in areas where the soil does not contain enough (1) nutrients, some plants have adapted to supplement their diets from another source: living organisms. Though they are few in number, carnivorous plants are (2) fascinating beings that “eat” anything from one-celled organisms to insects in order to survive. They are commonly found in marshlands. Carnivorous plants feature one of several types of “traps” to ensnare prey, which they consume to make up for nutrients that may be missing from the soil. While there are over 400 species of carnivorous plants in the world today, some are more prevalent than others. The most well-known of these plants are the snap traps, which include the Venus flytrap. Snap traps are easily identified by their leaves, which are separated into two lobes that have the ability to fold together. Inside the lobes, the surface is covered with tiny hairs that are (3) to movement. When the plant’s prey brushes against the hairs, it triggers a closing mechanism that rapidly brings the two lobes together, trapping the prey securely inside. The response of the traps is phenomenal (4) speed: the time between triggering the hairs and snapping shut is less than a second. As the prey struggles inside the trap, it only triggers more hairs, causing the leaves to tighten their grip. The plant then secrets liquid chemicals from special glands into the trap to dissolve the prey and absorb all of its nutrients. Besides the Venus flytrap, only one other type of snap trap exists today, (5) to as the waterwheel plant. The two share a common ancestor and differ only in a few ways. For instance, the waterwheel is an aquatic plant, while the flytrap is exclusively terrestrial. In addition, the flytrap feeds primarily on arthropods like spiders, while the waterwheel lives off simple invertebrates, like certain types of plankton.

Reference books are not designed to be read from the first page to the last but rather to be consulted to answer the questions and provide both general and specific pieces of information. One of the most 1) -used reference books is a dictionary, which provides information about words. It lists meanings and spellings, tells how a word is pronounced, gives (2) of how it is used, may reveal its origins and also lists synonyms and antonyms. To help you find the words faster, there are guide words at the top of each page showing the first and last words on that page - and of course it (3) to know the alphabet! There may be numerous special sections at the back with facts about famous people and places, lists of dates and scientific names, etc. There is usually a section at the front (4) how to use the dictionary, which includes the special abbreviations or signs. An atlas is also a reference book and it contains charts, tables and geographical facts, as well as maps. Political maps locate countries and cities, physical maps show the formation of the land with its mountains and valleys, and economic maps show industries and agriculture. To find a specific place, you need to look in the (5) at the back of the atlas and the exact position on the map.

It is terrible but we are not (1) against crime. The first step towards preventing crime is understanding its nature. Most crime is against property, not people, and most crime is not carried out by professionals; nor is it carefully planned. Property crimes (2) on the easy opportunity. They are often committed by adolescents and young men, the majority of whom stop offending as they grow older. ages for offending are 15 to 18. Also, and not surprisingly, the risk of being a victim of crime greatly depending on where you live. This reliance by criminals on the easy opportunity is the key to much crime prevention. Motor cars, for example, are a sitting target for the criminal. Surveys have shown that approximately one in five drivers do not always bother to secure their cars by locking all the doors and shutting all the windows, and in 30 percent of domestic burglaries, the burglar simply walks in without having to use (5) . If opportunities like these did not exist, criminals would have a much harder time. The chances are that many crimes would not be committed, which would release more police time for tackling serious crimes.

There are the several different forms of bird flu, ranging from mild to very (3) infections, which spreading rapidly and kill many of the birds they infect. It is spread by wild birds-ducks, in particular – which carry the virus, but aren't killed by it. They can spread the virus to farm birds through (4) contact or by the contaminating water supplies.
