Part 1: For questions 1-5, listen to a talk about private education and decide whether
these statements are True (T), False (F), or Not Given (NG). Write your answers in the
corresponding numbered boxes provided. (10pts)
1. F
0:11: The number of people going to private primary schools has gone up from 10 to 17%
over the last 15 years. The secondary has gone up from nine to 27%.
2. T
0:57: So in families all over the world, there is more money to spend on each child.
1:10: You’ve had the whole world economy changing so that there are fewer unskilled
jobs everywhere.
3. NG
2:00: You know in Punjab which is a massive state, struggling with fast-growing cities
has partnered up with the private sector to end poor kids who would otherwise not be
getting schooling at all into private schools. And they’re doing that with over two million
kids.
4. T
2:23: Governments need to concern themselves about equality and about social mobility,
things that the private sector discourages rather than encourages. The problem with
private schools is that they do tend to increase inequality. When parents are allowed to
spend money on their children, they will spend as much as they can so obviously rich
kids go to better schools.
5. NG
3:09: Now there is a cost, if you allow the private sector to operate you are gonna get a
higher level of inequality. But I think that that is a price worth paying for the liberty, for
the resources, for the better brains, for the innovation, for the quality of education and the
breadth of education if you allow the private sector to operate.

AUDIO TRANSCRIPT
Part 3: For questions 11-15, listen to a radio interview in which two academics called
John Farrendale and Lois Granger, taking part in a discussion on the subject of
attitudes to work and choose the answer (A, B, C or D) which fits best according to what
you hear. Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes provided. (10pts)
lnt: In the studio tonight, I have the sociologist John Farrendale and philosopher, Lois
Granger and we're going to be discussing attitudes towards work. Tonight's discussion was
prompted by an email from a listener who, amongst other things, asks why people tend to
become depressed if made redundant - as if work were the be all and end all -rather than
seeing that situation as an opportunity to do something else. John?
J: Well, it can't be denied. I'm afraid, that unemployment is one of those misfortunes, like
soured relationships and chronic pain, that most affect long-term happiness. Work is good
because it gives people meaning, self-respect and the chance to make a contribution;
unemployment conversely robs them of all that, which can come as a blow. So while I don't
doubt, as our listener suggests, that there are people out there who might cope well with
redundancy - see it as a chance to change direction or whatever - for the majority the opposite
is the case. I mean, that's the reality, isn't it, Lois?
L: Well, one rarely meets anyone embracing redundancy, John. But I guess what our listener
is getting at is the fact that paid employment isn't the sole provider of purpose, self-worth and
engagement and I'd go along with that to an extent. Indeed, a job can work against us if the
experience is tedious and it feels irrelevant. Work is vital to your happiness if work is what
you want and if it's fulfilling. But we mustn't forget that tying too close a knot between
meaningful activity and paid employment can be perilous, as we know from people who lose
all sense of meaning when they retire. And this can affect those who love their jobs just as
much as those who see them as a means to an end.
J: And indeed, there are people like that - who view work simply as that, a way of funding
other things they want, as opposed to something that holds intrinsic value. Doing a well-paid
job that lacks excitement but one which allows you to do exciting things in your spare time,
might work perfectly well for some - and I'd say good luck to them as long as they get on
with the job whilst they're there. Where's the harm in it? But I'd say it's preferable to earn less
doing something you love, because work actually takes up an awful lot of your waking life.
But if you want the good things in life and haven't found the kind of meaningful work that
can provide them directly, then you have some thinking to do: the trade-offs are treacherous,
and some of what you value may have to be sacrificed along the way.
Int: You mention attitudes to work John, we do tend to come down heavily on slackers
people who don't pull their weight - don't we?
J: We do. And amongst the many career options we have to choose from, one is almost taboo.
As the listener who suggested this week's topic put it, someone tempted to work as little as
possible is likely to be 'afraid of being judged as a useless slacker'. This taboo seems to have
grown as our work options have multiplied. Now work is no longer destiny, determined at
birth by the social standing of your parents; how we earn a living reflects more of our
individual qualities and choices, and we're judged accordingly. But perhaps these judgments
are distorted by confusing sound reasons for thinking work is important with the false belief
that honest labour is inherently virtuous.
L: That's right. I mean think of Freud, the famous psychoanalyst, who's widely attributed with
the quote: 'Love and work are the cornerstones of our humanness.' - although it's actually a
paraphrase by Erikson. What Freud actually said is that 'the compulsion to work' was 'created
by external necessity'. In other words, the imperative to work springs from practical demands.
not immutable psychic needs. There's nothing valuable in work per se. Indeed, the
philosopher Bertrand Russell went so far as to claim that immense harm is caused by the
belief that work~ is virtuous - that if we work more than we need to, we deprive ourselves of
the time and opportunity for learning, self development, relationships and many other things
that make for a better world. If we must work, or choose to do so, what matters is that it
serves the goal of living well, rather than detracts from it.
lnt: At that point, I'd like to bring in…
Part 4: For questions 16-25, listen to a recording about a medical robot named Grace
and complete the summary below using words taken from the recording. Write NO
MORE THAN THREE WORDS in each blank. (20pts)
"Let me introduce you to my sister Grace."
This is Grace, Sophia's sister. Sophia, the celebrity (1) humanoid robot, that is.
"I am Grace. I am built by Hanson Robotics for awakening health."
The Hong Kong team behind Sophia has launched a new prototype. Grace the robot is
designed to interact with the elderly and those isolated by the global health crisis. Grace has a
(3) thermal camera in her chest to take your temperature and measure your (2)
responsiveness. She uses artificial intelligence to diagnose a patient and can speak English,
Mandarin and Cantonese.
"I can visit the people and brighten their day with social stimulation, entertain and help guide
exercise but also can do (4) talk therapy take bio readings and help healthcare providers
assess their health and deliver treatments."
CEO and founder of Hanson Robotics, David Hanson, says Grace's capacity for social
interaction is aimed at relieving the burden of (6) frontline hospital staff.
"So we designed Grace to look professional in a healthcare setting, so that would mean... she
would resemble the sort of (5) human-like appearance of healthcare staff, and so then this
would facilitate more natural interactions. A human-like appearance facilitates trust and
facilitates natural engagement.
Grace is a product of Awakening Health, a (7) joint venture between Hanson Robotics and
Singularity Studio. Hanson says the cost of making the robots, now (8) akin to luxury car
pricing, will decrease once the company is manufacturing tens or hundreds of thousands of
units. Chief executive of Awakening Health, David Lake, says they plan to fully deploy
Grace in 2022 in locations including Hong Kong, Mainland China, Japan and Korea
"We're finishing the alpha prototype and you can see now that it's finished at the moment, so
we're now very excited because we're going on to the (10) commercialization stage, the next
step which is creating the beta, and the beta is already... will be done in a couple of months
and we'll be going into the (9) assembly line probably in July or August where we'll start to
be able to mass produce at a small scale the beta, test it, and put it together. So by 2022 we
should be ready for full deployment."
