The largest island is Hawaii itself, which are the site of two major active volcanoes. The volcanoes, protected as a national state park, are crucial for several types of agriculture. When volcanic ash cools and is exposed to weathering, it is converting into 5 exceptionally fertile soil. The Hawaiians utilise it for one of their main agricultural exports, pineapples. ‘The island of Lanai comprises a single plateau, containing the world's largest pineapple plantation. The continual voicanic activity is also a major attraction for the hordes of tourists flocking to the area to see Hawaii's various spectacular geological marvel. But isn't it rather dangerous for them to do this? Actually, a daily rumble is the least of the problems associated with volcanoes, Far more worrying is 10 thick clouds of volcanic ash or flows of lava, like those that smothered the ancient Roman city of Herculaneum, pouring down from the mountainside in the night with a destructive, and totally unexpected, force. Fortunately, Hawail rarely witnesses such frightening occurences. Jil Brooke, a leading expert in volcanoes, recently said, ‘Hawail experiences thousand of eruptions each year, but most are so small that they can only be detected by sensible instruments, There will eventually be 2 15 huge one, but itis almost impossible to predict when it will happen.” Your answers 0. centre (line 1) | 00. archipelago (line 2) 000. is (line 2) 44 : 46. co [a 48 49 .

Itis a lamentable truth that women are sometimes presented with impossible choices between career advancement and family commitment. This dilemma is perhaps sharpest for female scientists who leave their profession in order to raise children and then find themselves at a disadvantage compared with men on fetuming to work years later. Women in science get left behind because scientific developments move so fast and knowledge needs to be continuously updated. In addition to that, working conditions for scientists with unsociable hours, do not favour the family. This is where a newly-launched campaign to attract female scientists back into the fold comes in. The campaign aims to emphasise a woman's academic as apposed to her chronological age so that, after raising a family, she will be compared to men with the same amount of work experience rather than to men of the same age, and encourages women to retrain and upgrade theit skills. The Royal Society and the Welcome Trust, the major founder of Biomedical research in the UK, have lent the campaign their support Dr. Nancy Lane, a cell biologist and fellow of Girton College, Cambridge, and director of the Women in SET (Science, Engineering and Technology) Initiative at Cambridge has dedicated her life to encouraging female scientists. A working party chaired by her produced a report for the government highlighting the low percentage of women in science, particularly at senior levels. The report was given the optimistic tite ‘The Rising Tide’, in the hope that this dismal trend could be on the turn. Despite good intentions, a rising tide of female scientists seems at present to be distant prospect. The majority of successful women in the field are either unmarried or married but childless. One organisation geared towards changing this is the Athena Project, of which Dr. Lane is deputy chair. The organisation is compiling a register of women in higher education to outline the skill areas of those in the SET fields. Back by various government and scientific bodies, the project's goal is to achieve significant increase of women in top positions in science, engineering and technology by the year 2017. There is much room for improvement on present percentages, with women making up no more than 21% of full-time researchers in the physical sciences, a mere 2% at the level of professor, and with just one female Chemistry professor in the UK. A lack of research grants exacerbates this deplorable situation, with studies in Sweden pointing to strong evidence that women need to prove themselves two and a half times better than men in order to receive them Page 6 of 11 pages(One eminent scientist with a mission to help other women in the field was Daphne Jackson, Britain's first Physics professor. After her premature death, aged 54, in 1991, the Daphne Jackson Memorial Trust was established to help retrain highiy-quaiified female scientists who have taken at least three-year break from work. The trust pays part-time salaries for two years to women able to find an institution and supervisor to allow them to pursue a research project. A successful example of somebody on a Daphne Jackson fellowship is Dr. ‘Sue Jackson (no relation), a former welding engineer with a PhD from Cambridge when her first child was born 14 years ago and she gave up work. The fellowship has enabled her to conduct research on laser welding for car bodies and has helped her cope with radical changes such as the move from practical work to computer ‘modeling, Sue Jackson has found the project tremendously stimulating and motivating Let us hope that, with the help and encouragement of organisations such as Athena Project and Daphne Jackson Memorial Trust, more women wil follow suit and return to the scientific fields to which they have contributed and will continue to contribute so much, Society as a whole will certainly be the better for it 84.

For businesses, the world is becoming a smaller place. Travel and transportation are becoming quicker land easier, communications can be instantaneous to any part of the world and trade barriers are breaking down, Consequently, there are tremendous opportunities for businesses to broaden their ‘markets into foreign countries. The challenge facing those promoting products globally is to determine whether marketing methods should be the same across the world or if they should be adapted to different markets based on specific cultural factors. B. Many theorists argue that, with the ‘shrinking’ of the world, global standardisation is inevitable. Over time, and as economies develop, it has been suggested that consumer buying pattems will blend into cone another and national differences may disappear. Kellogg, the American breakfast cereal producer, hhas been very influential in challenging consumption pattems in countries outside the United States. In France, for example, breakfast cereals were almost unheard of, and market research suggested that the market was closed to companies like Kellogg. However, today, there is growing demand for breakfast cereals across France. Nevertheless, the standardisation of products for worldwide consumption in this way is rarely the most effective strategy as is evident from an analysis of the following key aspects of global marketing First of all, it is considered better business practice by many large, established companies to change their products from one country to the next. Take the example of Coca Cola. The recipe for this drink is changed to suit local tastes - the brand in the US is much sweeter than in the UK, whilst in India the product's herbs and flavourings are given more emphasis. In terms of the car industry, it would be too expensive for manufacturers to develop and build completely different vehicles for different markets yet a single, global model is likely to appeal to no one. in response to varying needs, Nissan, for example, sells in 75 different markets, but has eight different chassis designs. The Ford Mondeo was designed with key features from different markets in mind in an effort to make its appeal as broad as possible. The best policy, as far as most multinational companies are concerned, is to adapt their product to a particular market Secondly, itis also important to consider whether a product should be launched simultaneously in all ‘countries (known as a ‘sprinkler launch’) or sequentially in one market after another (a ‘waterfall launch’) In practice, most companies producing consumer goods tend to launch a new product in one or two markets at a time rather than attempt to launch a product across a range of countries at a single time Many high-tech products such as DVD players reached the market in Japan before reaching the UK Hollywood films are often seen in the United States weeks or months before they arrive in other countries. For example, Star Wars Episode One was launched in the US in May 1999, in the UK in July 1999 and in Spain in August 1999. E. The advantage for firms is that it is easier to launch in one market at a time. Effort and concentration can be focused to ensure the best possible entry into the market. Moreover, for technical products especially, any intial problems become apparent in a single market and can be corrected prior to launch elsewhere. Even though this method can be time-consuming, it is usually a safer approach than a simultaneous launch. Despite this, in certain highly competitive markets such as computer chips, companies such as Intel tend to launch their new products internationally at the same time to keep the product ahead of its competitor. F.. The final consideration when planning to enter a global market, rather than assuming the product will suit all markets, is to take cultural differences into account. Prices have to be converted to a different ‘currency and any literature has to be translated into a different language. There are also less tangible differences, It is quite possible that common practices in one country can cause offence and have grave ‘consequences for business success in another. In one situation in China, a Wester businessman ‘caused offence to a group of local delegates because he started to fill out the paperwork immediately after shaking hands on a deal. Completing the legal documents so soon after the negotiations was regarded as undermining the hosts’ trust. Knowledge about such cultural differences is absolutely vital. G. Therefore, if a company is attempting to broaden its operations globally, it must take the time to find out about local customs and methods of business operation. Equally important is to ensure that such information is available to all necessary workers in the organisation. For example, in order to atternpt to avoid causing offence to passengers from abroad, British Airways aims to raise awareness of cultural differences amongst al its cabin crew. H. it can be concluded that global standardisation of products to ‘fit’ all markets is unlikely to be the most viable option. Marketing methods employed will depend on many factors, such as the type of product, the degree of competition, the reputation of the firm and/or the brand, the state of the economy into which the product is to be launched and how and when to launch. In short, the key to marketing success ‘on a global level is to have sufficient information on how cultural differences are likely to affect the marketing of a product and then allow the appropriate decisions to be made. 9 9 Page 8 of 11 pagesFor questions 94-100, choose correct heading for paragraphs B-H from the list of headings below.
