Answers will vary but may include the following. Corrections are underlined.
What I Learned from My First Job
While working at my first job, which was at a clothing store, I had a co-worker who got me
into a lot of trouble. When the manager counted the money in the cash register, it had come
up short. The co-worker had taken some of the money, so she shifted the blame to me. I
insisted that I wasn’t responsible, but the manager, who didn’t know me, fired me immediately.
Ten years later, I got a phone call that really surprised me. It was from the woman who
had blamed me for taking the money. She called me to apologize for what she had done.
Apparently it had been bothering her for a long time.
This incident taught me an important lesson. Sometimes when people tell a lie, they hurt
themselves more than the other person. While I had completely forgotten about the incident,
it was my former co-worker who felt badly about it for all those years.

WRITING
B Practice
May 5 – (1) While camping yesterday, the Evans family was surprised by some
frightening neighbors: a bear cub and its mother. Twin 5-year-olds Paul and Marcy were
delighted because the young animal reminded them of the cute creatures in their picture
books and on TV. Their father, on the other hand, wasn’t as charmed because he knew that
approaching a bear cub was dangerous since an adult bear is usually nearby.
Luckily for the family, Mr. Evans was already awake and getting breakfast ready when
he heard the bear. As he posted later on Facebook: (2) “While getting the milk out of our
camping bag, I heard a rustling noise behind me. I turned around and saw a bear cub trying
to open the garbage can. I knew I had to think fast.”
(3) Hearing his kids coming out of the tent, Mr. Evans quickly pushed them back inside
to prevent them from approaching the bear to play with it. At that moment, a large adult
female, probably the cub’s mother, came by and led the cub away. The Evanses’ camping
day continued peacefully after that.

In my opinion, Norman Cousins was cured by laughter. I believe that positive emotions
can have a healing effect. If Cousins consciously focused time on laughing to get better, it
could very well be that laughing was what changed his prognosis. Positive emotions instill

contrary, can cause anxiety and stress.

One day . . . at a hospital, a young doctor asked the chief of staff permission to visit the
psychiatric ward. The chief of staff agreed but decided to play a practical joke on him.
He told the guard at the ward that he was going to be admitting a patient who thinks he is
a doctor. So when the young doctor came to the ward, he was permitted in and allowed
to examine patients. But once he said he was ready to leave, the guard told him that he
couldn’t leave. When the young doctor said that he was Dr. Adams, the guard replied
cynically that he was Napoleon. Eventually, the chief of staff returned and straightened
everything out. Luckily the young doctor could take a joke.

2. Placebo and nocebo are “two sides of the same coin” because both are examples of
the power of suggestion. Placebo is a fake medication or medical procedure that works
because patients believe it will; nocebo is experiencing a side-effect of a drug because
the patient has been told that the medication is likely to cause that reaction.

One common superstition in Western countries concerns the number 13. Because they
are considered unlucky, many situations involving the number 13 are frequently avoided.
For example, in the past, the thirteenth floor of tall apartment buildings was often labeled
“fourteen.” While that is rare today, there are still many people who are uncomfortable
renting an apartment on the thirteenth floor. In addition, there is a general belief that Friday
the thirteenth brings bad luck, increases the chance of mishaps, and makes it more difficult

A lucky charm is an object that some people carry because they think it will bring good
luck. My lucky charm is a rabbit’s foot that I received as a gift on my birthday. I don’t really
know if it has ever brought me good luck, but I always carry it in my pocket. Since medieval
times, rabbits’ feet have been said to bring good fortune because people believed that
witches were capable of turning themselves into rabbits or hares when they were being
chased. Both rabbits and hares are very fast animals, so witches stood a good chance of
escaping if they turned into rabbits or hares. Since then, people have carried rabbits’ feet as
good luck charms. They believe rabbits’ feet will protect them.

When trying to focus on a task, you may discover there are numerous distractions that
can keep you from completing your work. (1) You may find it difficult to stay focused due
to your staying up late the night before. (2) As a consequence of frequent interruptions by
colleagues, you may feel like you are always starting the task all over again. Anything can
distract you from a task, and the results can be harmful.
Not being able to stay focused can affect your work in negative ways. You may not be able
to produce a report for your manager by the time he or she expects it. (3) Consequently, your
manager may wonder whether or not he or she can count on you to deliver what you have
promised. Your colleagues may depend on you to finish a task, but you are unable to do it.
(4) As a result, you risk your reputation at work.
If you are having difficulty completing a task, it is important that you take actions that
help you stay on target. (5) Because of frequent interruptions, you may have to close your
office door or ask your colleagues not to disturb you. If you are suffering from a lack of
sleep, you may have to take a break and grab a cup of coffee before you start. As long as
you make an effort, you should be able to get back on target.

Dr. Howard Gardner believes that genius is determined by the environment, Therefore,
he recommends that children be provided with greater educational opportunities in order to
develop their talents. Other psychologists, however, think that genius is inherited. According
to them, if a child is born with talent, it is crucial that he or she receive special attention.
According to Dr. Gardner, people have different kinds of intelligence, and there are
different ways of learning suitable for eac h intelligence type. Consequently, he proposes
that a teacher use learning strategies that are best suited to a particular student’s type of
intelligence. For example, Gardner suggests that a student study alone if he or she has
intrapersonal intelligence. If, on the other hand, the learner has interpersonal intelligence, it
is important that the student work in a team.
Because characteristics such as motivation and emotional control are considered
important in the workplace, more and more employers insist that a job applicant take an EQ
test to help the manager make hiring decisions.

to war zones or to put out wildfires. They also cover the news and take incredible
pictures of nature. In the future, drones will likely be used in new areas of environmental
protection and conservation, archeological discoveries, humanitarian work, and farming.
2. Nate is concerned that with thousands of drones flying around, they might crash into
each other, and people are going to get hurt. Also he worries about drone interference
with takeoffs and landings of planes. In my opinion, Nate’s concerns are valid, but I think
once drones become that widespread, necessary measures will be taken to keep them
under control.

Jobs’s prediction that a lot of people would spend their time interacting with personal

would use them to communicate with each other. In the past decades, computers have
become an integral part of our lives, and we rely on the Internet for communication.
Gates’s prediction that small computer devices would be carried around came true with
the smart phone. He also foresaw the creation of Internet communities based on one’s
interests and to connect with friends and family. Indeed, social networks and a whole array
of online communities have evolved.
