Tourism is now one of the largest industries in the world, and is the main source
of income in many countries. Unfortunately, this development has come at a price.
The construction of facilities to cater to the needs of hordes of visitors has led to the
destruction of natural habitats, thus (1. danger) …endangering………wildlife and
spoiling some of the world’s most beautiful regions. Air travel to far-flung places
results in huge amounts of carbon (2. emit) …emissions…………which contribute
to global warming. Although tourism may bring in earnings for local people, by and
large, the profits are being made by foreign-owned tour operators.
The majority of holidaymakers are unaware of or (3. concern) ……
unconcerned………about such issues, but fortunately, there are those who would
rather travel with a clear conscience. For these travelers, there is now an
alternative to conventional tourism, known as ecotourism or (4. sustain) …
sustainable………travel. They choose their destinations carefully, and try to make
sure that their visit will have only a minimal effect on the environment. They avoid
staying in large resorts and support (5. local) …locally………..owned businesses
and services so that the local people benefit from their visit. Eco-sensitive travel
can have across-the-board benefits for the environment.

ROBOTIC PETS
Picture this scene: a group of pet owners in a local park, sitting and chatting while
their pets chase balls and get into (1)…trouble….. You would be forgiven for
thinking that there is nothing unusual in this. But one thing is strange about this
scene – all the dogs are robots. In the past few years, more than 100,000 AIBOs –
computer-controlled robot pets – have been sold, and they are now a world-wide
phenomenon. Whoever invented the AIBO must (2)…have…. spent hours studying
dog behavior because the robot’s behavior is uncannily realistic. They are
programmed to react to voices, sounds and their surroundings, and although they
are not able to see, they can perceive some (3)…color (s)/ colour(s)….and are
attracted to pink. However, an AIBO won’t always chase after a pink object –
sometimes it will wander off in the opposite direction. AIBOs are programmed to
behave unpredictably in order to give the impression (4)…that……..they act on
impulse like real animals. AIBOs also mature emotionally, which means their

Page 3 of 8
behavior changes as they get older. AIBO owners name their robots and they boast
about what they can do and how they have changed since they were “little”.
However, robot pets (5)……differ……from real ones in one important sense – there
is a switch so these pets can be turned off when you want some peace and quiet.

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
Page 4 of 8
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.”
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-flavored crisps and Pembrokeshire for the dragon ice cream
(ice cream in a dragon-shaped pot). Last summer, Janet 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 experience 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 happy 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.
(Adapted from FCE Test Builder)

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 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 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, virtual 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
Page 6 of 8
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 can contract their services. An added benefit to such
online jobs is that freelancers are able to work on projects with companies outside
their own country.
How much can a person make in these kinds of careers? As with many questions
related to today’s evolving technology, there is no simple answer. There are many
companies willing to pay people with Internet skills salaries well over $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 to $70,000 a year.

A. To inform people about the tasks and the roles of a webmaster

A. name B. corrupt
C. encounter D. interface

A. They never work independently.
B. The duties they perform depend on the organization they employ.
C. They are required a minimal level of technical expertise.
D. They do not support software products.
4. What can be inferred from the passage about freelance writers?
A. They may work with others in the company.
B. They manage hardware and software.
