famous and oldest golf clubs in the country. The instructors were incredibly good and very talented, and I learned

week and shared their lives. Alfred was 13 when his grandmother passed away, and he missed her badly. He realized
that regular contact between the generations was important and decided to do something about it. One year later, his
Teen Connect organization was founded. The project links teenagers and seniors, who call each other and keep in
touch by phone. From the very beginning, Alfred's senior in the program was enthusiastic because she never knew her
own grandmothers when she was young, which she regretted. Alfred started Teen Connect in Florida, and four years
later the program had over 200 groups around the U.S. and an international chapter in Japan. Both teenagers and
seniors have been positive about the program. The seniors look forward to keeping in touch each week, and the
teenagers enjoy getting advice and hearing about the seniors’ life experiences. Shortly after Alfred started his degree

Passage 7: Modern crimes telephone fraud

You're at home and the phone rings. A young woman says you've won a fabulous prize - a dream vacation, a new car,
or a lot of money. You get excited and start imagining it. But first, you must pay a fee for shipping or taxes. You give the
woman your credit card details, or write a check and mail it to an international address, and wait for your prize to come.
It will never be sent. You've been a victim of telephone fraud.

This type of crime is a growing problem in the U.S and Canada. People lose billions of dollars every year hoping to get
the prize of their dreams. Victims of telephone scams are often called a second time by the same criminals who pretend
to be government lawyers. The victims are told they can get their money back if they pay a legal fee or government tax.

These criminals usually can't be caught because they call from outside the country and use telephone numbers that
can't be traced to real people or companies. If you haven't entered a contest, you probably haven't won anything. Don't
be fooled by telephone fraud: never send money or give out your credit card information in order to receive a ‘prize’.

Passage 8: Consumers and the environment

In recent years, concern about the environment has been endlessly discussed in the media, and consumers have
regularly been told how to change their lifestyles in order to reduce their impact on the planet. But how much has this
influenced their behavior? Recent surveys suggest that even though there is greater awareness of environmental issues,
much more needs to be done to change people's behavior. Concern for the environment alone is not enough to change
habits. Over half of the people in the surveys said that they had made changes such as buying recycled products or
recycling paper and glass. However, only a fifth sad they were taking fewer flights - a major cause of greenhouse gas
emissions - and less than 5% were using more environment - friendly hybrid cars.

“The problem is human nature,” says a leading environmentalist, 'because changing to more eco-friendly habits means
not having some of the things we’re used to. Instead of telling people what luxuries they will be giving up by changing
their behavior, we have to give a more positive message about what they will be gaining.

Changing consumer behavior is complex, but he most effective pressure that can be applied is financial. While gas
prices remained affordable, people used their cars without thinking about the environmental cost. But as world oil prices
increase, car owners are looking for ways to reduce car use. In countries where public transportation is limited, many
people have few alternatives. What is clear is that it will take more than recycling paper and plastic to save the planet.

36. The main idea in the article is that _________.

a. the environment is a serious issue c. gas prices are more expensive
b. it’s difficult to make people change their d. people should buy more recycled goods
lifestyles

a. are willing to change their habits c. don't want to give up their lifestyles
b. are being given a positive message about the d. are used to not having luxuries
environment

a. make things more expensive c. tell people about the environmental cost

Passage 12: Live life to the fullest: Fly a plane!

Have you ever flown a plane? Probably no, but if you like excitement and don't get stressed easily, you might want to
try flying a jumbo jet simulator - the same one pilots use in training. I haven't taken many plane rides, but last Sunday I
decided to try a day at pilot school. It's open to the public on Sundays. I got a full lesson on how to fly before I climbed
into the simulator. Then the instructor let me take off, fly at 914 (3000 feet), and land. It was the scariest 30 minutes I've

Kenya with her parents. During her trip she spent four days with the local Samburu tribes-people, who were suffering
from a devastating drought after several months without rain, and had very little food. Christina wanted to help. She
started by teaching art classes to the Samburu children, who had never painted before. Christina was amazed at their
wonderful drawings, and began to think. If she made their pictures into note cards, would she be able to sell them when
she went home, and raise money for food? She bought samples of the children's artwork with her own vacation money,
which paid for two weeks worth of food for the tribe. Soon after she got home, the Samburu Project was born. Christina
has been selling tribal arts and crafts for several years now, with all profits going to the tribe's people in Kenya. So far,
she has been able to build a dam, which was her original goal, as well as build several wells, buy animals and food, pay
medical bills, and build a crafts center.

Passage 14: Modem crimes: image theft

Personal blogging is the new form of Journal write - only better because more people can read your entries online!
Nowadays, most travelers are expected to post their photographs, in addition to their commentary, on blogs for friends
and family to see.

But imagine finding your vacation photos in an advertisement, copied from the Internet without your permission. As an
amateur photographer, you thought they were "just pictures", but someone else decided they had value and used them
to make money. That person stole your property.

Photo theft or image theft, is a growing problem, especially for professional photographers who advertise on the web.
Any photo can easily be copied and used illegally, and often the people who do it don't realize they are committing a
crime. The ones who do probably know it won't be caught.

How can you protect yourself and your images? Professional photography associations recommend using photo editing
programs to add text to your photos. For example, using a special sign on the pictures or using sophisticated software
allows you to make the pictures "flash" or add moving images so that can't be copied. Finally, give your photo files
unusual names so that people won't find them easily when they look for them on Internet as common subjects like "the
beach".

51. The article tells photographers how to __________

Passage 15: What are businesses doing about global warming?

The issue of climate change has been discussed in scientific and business circles for two decades. However, it's only
in recent years that there has been agreement that something needs to be done to reduce the carbon emissions that
cause global warming, and that businesses, as well as governments and individual citizens, must act. The main problem
is the rising level of carbon dioxide, which has been shown to warm the earth's atmosphere and which is still being
produced in damaging quantities by power plants and motor vehicles.

A few forward-thinking companies are investing in renewable energy, reducing their use of oil and coal, recycling more,
and consuming less in order to reduce their carbon footprint. Although companies like these are preparing to live in a
reduced-carbon world, most businesses have been slow in reducing their negative impact on the environment. What
might encourage them to finally start changing their environmental policies will probably be a combination of legal,
political, and business pressures.
Laws on carbon emissions are likely to be affected by changes in government policy. In the United States, lawyers from
eight states have tried to sue some of the biggest power-producing companies to force them to reduce their carbon
emissions. In addition, the effects of new weather patterns such as high winds, hurricanes, fires, and floods are making
Insurance companies look seriously at climate change, as they pay out more and more money for the damage caused
by these events. Insurers are now forcing companies to think of such damage as an important business risk.

55. The main idea of the articles is that __________.

a. Businesses will have to be more environment-friendly in c. Nothing has been done about climate change
the future

about climate change companies
