COULD COMPUTER GAMES BE GOOD FOR YOU AFTER ALL
In Britain, the average young person now spends more money on games each year than on going to
the cinema or renting videos. But is this 31 ______ a bad thing? For years, newspaper reports have been
saying that children who spend too much time playing computer games become unsociable, bad- tempered,
even violent as a result . But new research, 32 _______ out in both Europe and the USA, suggests that the
opposite may be true.
Indeed, playing some of the more complicated games may help people of all ages to improve certain
skills. Researchers claim that this is because the games make the brain work harder in certain ways, like 33
_______ sounds and movements quickly and identifying what they are. The fact that people play the games
repeatedly 34 _______ that they get a lot of practice in these skills which are therefore likely to become
highly developed.
Social skills may benefit, too. Researchers in Chicago think that fans of first- person shooter games such
as Counterstrike are better than non-players when it comes to building trust and co-operation, and that this
helps them to make good friendships and become strong members of their communities. So rather than 35
_______ up computer games, perhaps young people need to spend more time on them?

HOW TO AVOID TEEN TANTRUMS ON HOLIDAY!
Sarah Tucker has been interviewing lots of teenagers for her new book. Here, with the school holidays upon
us, she tells you what it takes to have a family holiday that doesnt end in tears. Given the choice, teenagers
prefer not to go on holiday with their parents. According to more than 1,500 parents and teenagers Ive
interviewed over the past twelve months for my next book, the concept of the happy family holiday appears
to go wrong when the child reaches adolescence.
Desmond Morris, an expert on human behavior, says, At this age, teenagers are starting to assert their
independence. They may begin to resent help from their parents, seeing it as interference. And, above all,
they like to be among their peers - especially on holiday. He adds: There are additional tensions on holiday
when families are brought together for a long period of time and, just like at Christmas, there is an
expectation of everyone enjoying themselves without having to work at it, only it doesnt always happen that
way.

GIO VIN: NGUY N LAN ANH

So what does work with teenagers on holiday? Specific countries as well as holiday options proved more
popular than others. Italy is becoming the most popular destination for teenagers, closely followed by
Australia and Canada. The popularity of these countries appears to be as much to do with the personality and
culture of the people as the location and facilities on site. The people are lively and laid-back, commented
one fifteen-year-old, who had just returned from a two-week break with his family. I met a group of Italian
teenagers from Bologna and we would go down to the beach every evening and play guitars till dark. The
campsite was on the beach, so parents knew where we were and what we were doing.
An option many of those families I interviewed had tried included going with another family who also had
teenage children. One mother explained that this only works if the teenagers as well as the adults are
compatible. Personality clashes may make tense situations worse.
Some 90% of those teenagers I spoke to prefer the guarantee of sunshine and heat. Teenagers enjoy the
beach, as long as they are surrounded by their peers. Their new companions do not have to be of the same
sex or even the same nationality - the main criterion appears to be that they are of the same age. Get the
teenagers to take a friend with them, so that they can go out by themselves. More than 80% of teenagers
interviewed preferred an outdoor adventure of to some sort on holiday. There are many activity holidays
which acted to teenagers, but choose a location which is exotic, if you have the budget. Some resorts offer
discounts for teenagers.
A resounding 99% of the teenagers I spoke to recommended package holidays, particularly where you stay at
a specially-designed resort, like Club Med. However, parents felt they were a bit too controlled, and they
didnt see enough of their children. The beauty of Club Med or similar style holidays is that you can do as
little or as much as you want. Typical activities include horse-riding, football training - and theres even a
circus school at one Club Med resort!
Most teenagers thought that the other side of the world was more interesting than anything to be found in
Europe. And the destination on most wish lists was Australia. Those who had visited Down Under claimed it
was the best holiday they had ever experienced, with or without their parents. Teenagers might visit later, in
their gap year, so why not see what its like before they go by themselves.
A final word on holidays to avoid. A big thumbs down from teenagers for walking, fishing or cycling
holidays. Or any holiday with leisurely mentioned anywhere in the brochure. And if you are planning a
holiday to improve your teenagers minds, forget it. They reject any holiday that claims to be cultural,
romantic, scenic or relaxing. Wherever you decide to go this year, I hope you all enjoy it- as a family!

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50
The goal of internet-based encyclopedia Wikipedia www.wikipedia.org is to give everyone on the planet
access to information. Like other encyclopedias, Wikipedia contains lots of information: more than 2.5 million
articles in 200 different languages covering just about every subject. Unlike other encyclopedias, however,
Wikipedia is not written by experts, but by ordinary people. These writers are not paid and their names are
not published. They contribute to Wikipedia simply because they want to share their knowledge.
Encyclopedias began in ancient times as collections of writings about all aspects of human knowledge. The
word itself comes from ancient Greek, and means a complete general education. Real popularity for
encyclopedias came in the nineteenth century in Europe and the United States, with the publication of
encyclopedias written for ordinary readers. With the invention of the CD-ROM, the same amount of
information could be put on a few computer discs. Then with the Internet, it became possible to create an
online encyclopedia that could be constantly updated, like Microsofts Encarta. However, even Internet-based
encyclopedias like Encarta were written by paid experts. At first, Wikipedia, the brainchild of Jimmy Wales, a
businessman in Chicago, was not so different from these. In 2001, he had the idea for an Internet-based
encyclopedia that would provide information quickly and easily to everyone. Furthermore, that information
would be available free, unlike other Internet encyclopedias at that time.
But Wales, like everyone else, believed that people with special knowledge were needed to write the articles,
and so he began by hiring expert. He soon changed his approach, however, as it took them a long time to
finish their work. He decided to open up the encyclopedia in a radical new way, so that everyone would have
access not only to the information, but also to the process of putting this information online. To do this, he
used what is known as Wiki software from the Hawaiian word for fast, which allows users to create or
alter content on web page. The system is very simple: When you open the web site, you can simply search
for information or you can log on to become a writer or editor of articles. If you find an article that interests
you about your hometown, for example you can correct it or expand it. This process goes on until no one
is interested in making any more changes.
