Many universities around the world are proud to have long histories and strong traditions. However, very
few universities can claim to be among the oldest in the world.
Nalanda University, in Bihar, India, was established around 600 BC. It was most likely the world's first
university. In the past, scholars came from Europe, China, and all over India to learn about science,
medicine, the Buddhist religion, and other subjects. The university is in ruins now, but at one time it was an
impressive school with temples, classrooms, libraries, and dormitories.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the University of AI-Karaouine in Fes, Morocco, is the
oldest surviving university in the world. It was probably founded in 859 and became a famous place to
study natural sciences. The first university in Europe is definitely the University of Bologna, in Italy. It was
one of the few universities in Europe that were not influenced by religion. Professors were forbidden from
teaching outside the university, and so students came from all over Europe to study with its famous
teachers.
(Adapted from Active Skills for Reading by Neil J Anderson)

A. The University of AI-Karaouine still exists in the modern world.

Los Angeles dancer, Brian Perez, was eating out with his friends one evening when suddenly everyone
went quiet. To his horror, he saw that the reason for this was that people were checking their phones.
Realising he had to do something to stop this, Brian made a rather daring suggestion. What if they all put
their gadgets in a pile in the middle of the table until they had finished the meal? If anyone picked up their
phone, that person would have to pay the whole bill. And so, it is said, the game of 'phone stacking' was
bom.
The necessity for action like this highlights a major problem in today's society: our inability to disconnect
from technology. But while Brian's idea deals with the obsession in a social context, measures also need to
be taken at home. Some people drop their smartphones into a box the moment they arrive home, which
gives them the chance to interact with the people they live with. The fact that the phone cannot be heard - it
is on silent - nor seen - the flashing lights are hidden by the box - means that they are no longer tempted to
use it.
A less drastic solution is to ban electronic devices at certain times of day when the whole family is likely
to be together, for example at meal times. This can be hard for everyone, from teenagers desperate to text
friends to parents unable to switch off from work. On a normal day, however, dinner takes less than an
hour, and the benefits of exchanging opinions and anecdotes with the rest of the family certainly makes up
for the time spent offline.
Taking a break from technology is one thing, but knowing when to turn off a device is another. Time seems
to stand still in the virtual world, and before you know it, you find that it is three o'clock in the morning.
This is where a digital curfew comes in handy, a set time when all devices must be put away. Evenings
without technology are usually nice and peaceful and make a more agreeable end to the day.
And then it's time for bed. One of the best ways of ensuring you can sleep at night is to ban electronic
devices altogether from the bedroom. Lying next to a machine bursting with information is far from
relaxing, and the sounds it emits during the night can easily wake you up. With technology out of the room,
a line has been drawn between daytime and sleep time, which enables us to switch off ourselves and drift
off to sleep.
(Adapted from Solutions 3rd Edition by Tim Falla and Paul A Davies)
Question 44. Which best serves as the title for the passage?
A. Too Much Dependence on Technology: Time for Change!
B. Getting Rid of Your Mobiles: For Better or Worse?
C. Shocking News: Technology Shapes Our Mind!
D. Addiction to Technology: Storm in a Teacup
Question 45. According to paragraph 1, Brian Perez was shocked to find that _______.
A. people were willing to remove all their gadgets
B. the prices for food were too expensive
C. people were glued to their phones
D. everyone seemed quiet by nature
Question 46. The word highlights in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. tackles B. expects C. proposes D. emphasizes
A. fact B. phone C. light D. box
Question 48. The word drastic in paragraph 3 can be best replaced by _______.
A. simple B. effective C. important D. severe
Question 49. Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage?
A. People choose not to use their phones at home so that they can talk to other members.
B. Meal times are the most suitable for the whole family to use phones together.
C. Teenagers can find it easier to turn off their phones compared to their parents.
D. Brian’s idea is not new in terms of making people less dependent on technology.
Question 50. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Having a conversation at dinner definitely strengthens the bonds among family members.
B. Using electronic gadgets at bedtime is likely to deprive yourself of having a good sleep.
C. People are more pleasant to talk with when they use technology in the evenings.
Page
D. The line between daytime and sleep time has become increasingly blurred.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the
question.
In the near term, the goal of keeping AI’s impact on society beneficial motivates research in many areas,
from economics and law to technical topics such as verification, validity, security and control. Whereas it
may be little more than a minor nuisance if your laptop crashes or gets hacked, it becomes all the more
important that an AI system does what you want it to do if it controls your car, your airplane, your
pacemaker, your automated trading system or your power grid. Another short-term challenge is preventing
a devastating arms race in lethal autonomous weapons.
In the long term, an important question is what will happen if the quest for strong AI succeeds and an AI
system becomes better than humans at all cognitive tasks. Such a system could potentially undergo
recursive self-improvement, triggering an intelligence explosion leaving human intellect far behind. By
inventing revolutionary new technologies, such a super-intelligence might help us eradicate war, disease,
and poverty, and so the creation of strong AI might be the biggest event in human history. Some experts
have expressed concern, though, that it might also be the last, unless we learn to align the goals of the AI
with ours before it becomes super-intelligent.
There are some who question whether strong AI will ever be achieved, and others who insist that the
creation of super-intelligent AI is guaranteed to be beneficial. At FLI we recognize both of these
possibilities, but also recognize the potential for an artificial intelligence system to intentionally or
unintentionally cause great harm. We believe research today will help us better prepare for and prevent
such potentially negative consequences in the future, thus enjoying the benefits of AI while avoiding
pitfalls.
(source: https://www.beyondteaching.com/)
A. Transcending complacency on super-intelligent machines.
B. No time like the present for AI safety work.
C. The importance of researching AI safety.
D. Challenges to ensuring the safety of AI systems.
Question 35. According to paragraph 1, what is NOT mentioned as a potential benefit of AI?
A. Facilitating the identification system. B. Managing the electricity in homes.
C. Controlling vehicles and gadgets. D. Curing life-threatening diseases.
Question 36. The word “recursive” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. powerful B. repeated C. impossible D. monotonous
Question 37. The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. event B. human C. history D. poverty
Question 38. According to paragraph 3, which information is incorrect about the future of AI?
A. We cannot deny the likelihood of AI turning on its creator – the human.
B. The emergence of super-intelligence will yield valuable benefits for human.
C. One of the focus of AI system nowadays should be preparation and preventive measures.
D. The probability of malicious artificial intelligence is an unexpected zero.

We need to attend to the tree loss because of the following tree benefits. Firstly, trees provide shade for
homes, office buildings, parks and roadways, cooling surface temperatures. They also take in and evaporate
water, (39) ______ cools the air around them. Secondly, trees absorb carbon and remove pollutants from
the atmosphere. Trees also reduce energy costs by $4 billion a year, according to Nowak's study. "The
shading of those trees on buildings (40) ______ your air conditioning costs. Take those trees away; now
your buildings are heating up, you're running your air conditioning more, and you're burning more fuel
Page
from the power plants, so the pollution and emissions go up." (41) ______, trees act as water filters, taking
in dirty surface water and absorbing nitrogen and phosphorus into the soil. Last but not least, (42)______
studies have found connections between exposure to nature and better mental and physical health. Some
hospitals have added tree views and plantings for patients as a result of these studies. Doctors are even

correct answer to each of the questions from
Nepal has made important progress over the past few years to promote equality, but the country still has
one of the highest rates of child marriage in the world. 41% of Nepalese girls are married before the age of
18.
Poverty is both a cause and consequence of child marriage in Nepal. Girls from the wealthiest families
marry 2 years later than those from the poorest, who are seen as an economic burden, and who drop out of
school and earn little money.
Food insecurity plays an important role too. Nepalese families that do not have enough food to eat are more
likely to marry their daughters at a young age to decrease the financial burden. One study shows that 91%
of people who had secure access to food married over the age of 19.
Dowry is also common practice in many communities. Parents marry their daughters as soon as possible
because the money they have to pay to the groom’s family is higher if their daughter is older. Since 2010,
the legal age of marriage is 20 for both men and women, or 18 with parental consent, according to the
Nepalese Country Code.
The law states that punishment for child marriage is imprisonment for up to three years and a fine of up to
10,000 rupees (£102). But reports suggest that this law is rarely applied. There has been quite a lot of
progress in Nepal over the past 3 years with a clear government commitment to ending child marriage and
civil society cooperation. The Ministry of Women, Children and Social Welfare is currently developing
Nepal’s first national strategy on child marriage in collaboration with UNICEF Nepal and Girls Not Brides
Nepal. However, the post-earthquake and post-fuel crisis environment has meant progress is slow and the
national strategy has been delayed.

question.
When he was nine years old, Felix Finkbeiner gave a class presentation on climate change. The young
German spoke about deforestation and its effect on the planet. At the end of his talk, he challenged the
people of his country to help by planting one million trees. Nobody thought much would come of a nine-
year-old’s school project. Before he was 20, however, Finkbeiner’s efforts had resulted in the planting of
more than 14 billion trees around the world.
Finkbeiner and his classmates began the project - named “Plant-for-the-Planet” - by planting the first tree
outside their school. Other schools followed the example, and news of the one-million challenge spread. As
a result, Finkbeiner was asked to speak at the European Parliament. Other invitations soon followed, and
when he was just 13, he spoke at a United Nations conference in New York. “We cannot trust that adults
alone will save our future,” he said in the speech. “We have to take our future in our hands.”
Page
Finkbeiner is now in his twenties, and Plant-for-the-Planet is an organization with around 70,000 members.
It works to teach people about climate change and to encourage the planting of more trees. Germany’s one
millionth tree was planted long ago. The goal now is one trillion - 150 for every person on Earth.

question.
The Globe
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre is a popular topic for people interested in theater and history. However, the
Globe Theatre as we know it today is not the same building that was used originally. In fact, the Globe was
situated in many different places during its long history.
When the rental agreement on the original location ended, one of the actors bought a theater called the
Blackfriars, which was located in another part of town. However, many complaints from neighbors and the
town council led to the creation of a petition that requested that the acting group move their company out of
town. Upset with this news, the actors returned to the original theater, took most of it apart, and then moved
the materials across the Thames River to Bankside, where they proceeded to construct the next version of
the Globe.
This endeavor, though, did not go so smoothly. The owner of the original Globe Theatre, who had rented it
to the actors, took the acting group to court. He wanted the actors to pay for the damage they had done to
his building. In the end, however, the actors won the case and continued to construct their “newly-
acquired” theater. Later, the actors split their plays between the original theater and the new Globe.
In 1643, the original Globe Theatre burned to the ground. How did this happen? Historians believe that a
cannon that was shot during a performance of the play Henry Vill started a large fire. Yet, the Globe
Theatre still survived. A new Globe was later completed on the same site before Shakespeare's death.
However, it was shut down by the Puritans in 1642 and later destroyed during the English Civil War of
1643.
In May of 1997, Queen Elizabeth II officially opened a newly constructed version of the Globe with a
production of Henry V. This is the Globe Theatre that people visit today. The queen wanted the new theater
to be much like the old one. The new model is very similar to the original theater. For instance, it is also a
three-story building. Also, it has seating for 1,500 people. It also has an area called the “yard” on the lower
level. In its first season, the theater attracted 210,000 people.

question.
Although bear-like, koalas are not bears. They are mammals, so feed their young milk and are marsupials,
which means that their babies are born immature and they develop further in the safety of a pouch. They are
tree-dwelling, herbivorous marsupials, which average about 9kg in weight and live on gum leaves. Their fur
is thick and usually ash grey with a tinge of brown in places. Koalas in the southern parts of Australia are
considerably larger and have thicker fur than those in the north. This is thought to be an adaptation to keep
them warm in the colder southern winters.
Younger breeding females usually give birth to one joey each year, depending on a range of factors. The
joey stays in its mother’s pouch for about 6 or 7 months, drinking only milk. After venturing out of the
pouch, the joey rides on its mother’s abdomen or back, although it continues to return to her pouch for milk
until it is too big to fit inside. The joey leaves its mother’s home range between 1 and 3 years old, depending
on when the mother has her next joey.
Koalas are mostly nocturnal. They sleep for part of the night and also sometimes move about in the
daytime. They often sleep for up to 18-20 hours each day. There is a myth that koalas sleep a lot because
they ‘get drunk’ on gum leaves. However, most of their time is spent sleeping because it requires a lot of
energy to digest their toxic, fibrous, low-nutrition diet and sleeping is the best way to conserve energy.
The koala gets its name from an ancient Aboriginal word meaning “no drink” because it receives over 90%
of its hydration from the eucalyptus leaves (also known as gum leaves) it eats, and only drinks when ill or
times when there is not enough moisture in the leaves i.e. during droughts, etc.
Question 34: Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.Koalas’ Breeding.
B. The Origin Of The Koala’s Name And Its Eating Habits.
C.Koalas Are Mammals, Not Bears.
D.The Real Story About Koalas.
Question 35: According to paragraph 2, how do younger mother koalas usually breed ?
Page
A.They give birth to one joey biannually.
B. They give birth to one offspring annually.
C.They don’t give birth until the females reach 6 or 7 months.
D. They don’t breed during the day.
Question 36: The word it in paragraph 2 refers to ______.
A. a mother B. a joey C. a pouch D. back
Question 37: The word nocturnal in paragraph 3 is ______.
A.sleepy all day and night B. awake at daytime C. sleepy at night D. active at night
Question 38: Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage ?
A. Koalas drink a lot of water during the meals in order to digest gum leaves.
B. Koalas spend up to twenty hours sleeping each day.
C. Koalas do not drink water normally.
D. Koalas are herbivorous and tree-dwelling.

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
Artificial intelligence (AI) and related technologies are increasingly prevalent in business and society;
besides, they have been applied to education. These technologies have the potential to transform many
aspects of the teaching - learning process.
Basic activities in education like grading can be automated with the help of AI. At educational institutes,
marking a large number of tests and assignments is tedious work. Teachers often find that grading takes up
a considerable amount of time which can be used to interact with students and prepare for class. AI, at
present, may not be able to actually replace human grading; however, it's getting pretty close. Nearly all
kinds of multiple choice and fill-in-the blank testing can now be performed by Al-driven machines, and
automated grading of student writing may not be far behind. Essay-grading softwares are still in their
infancy, yet they will be fully developed over the coming years, allowing teachers to focus more on
classroom activities and professional development.
Learners can also get additional support from AI. For instance, tutoring programs based on artificial
intelligence already exist to help students with basic courses of mathematics, writing, foreign language, etc.
With the rapid pace of technological advancement in recent years, sophisticated tutoring systems which can
help students learn high order thinking and stimulate their creativity will not be a pipe dream. Moreover, Al
programs can give learners useful feedback and assistance. Some schools, especially those with online
courses, are using AI systems to monitor students' progress. These systems not only offer students advice on
individual courses but also help students choose majors in accordance with areas where they succeed or
struggle.
For better or worse, AI systems have taken place in certain types of classroom activities. In the next decades,
their influences will extend significantly, which offers both teacher and students a much wider range of
services.

years. The participants were asked how much contact they had with friends, children, relatives and
acquaintances. Researchers were surprised to learn that friendships increased life (35) ______ to a far
greater extent than frequent contact with children and other relatives. This benefit held true even after these
friends had moved away to (36) ______ city and was independent of factors such as socioeconomic status,
health, and way of life. According to scientists, the ability to have relationships with people to (37) ______
one is important has a positive effect on physical and mental health. Stress and tendency towards depression

question.
Successful students often do the followings while studying. First, they have an overview before reading.
Next, they look for important information and pay greater attention to it (which often needs jumping forward
or backward to process information). They also relate important points to one another. Also, they activate
and use their prior knowledge. When they realize that their understanding is not good, they do not wait to
change strategies. Last, they can monitor understanding and take action to correct or “fix up” mistakes in
comprehension.
Conversely, students with low academic achievement often demonstrate ineffective study skills. They tend
to assume a passive role, in learning and rely on others (e.g., teachers, parents) to monitor their studying, for
example, low-achieving students often do not monitor their understanding of content; they may not be aware
of the purpose of studying; and they show little evidence of looking back, or employing “fix-up” strategies
to fix understanding problems. Students who struggle with learning new information seem to be unaware
that they must extent effort beyond simply reading the content to understand and remember it.
Children with learning disabilities do not plan and judge the quality of their studying. Their studying may be
disorganized. Students with learning problems face challenges with personal organization as well. They
often have difficulty keeping track of materials and assignments, following directions, and completing work
on time. Unlike good studiers who employ a variety of study skills in a flexible yet purposeful manner, low-
achieving students use a restricted range of study skills. They cannot explain why good study strategies are
important for learning; and they tend to use the same, often ineffective study approach for all learning tasks,
ignoring task content, structure or difficulty.

question.
Modern civilization is heavily dependent on energy. Without reliable power sources, we couldn’t operate
machines, use transportation, communicate via the Internet, or do many other things. Although everyone
recognizes the importance of energy, deciding what kind of energy the world should use in the future is not a
simple task. The two leading candidates for this role are green energy and nuclear energy.
Currently, most of the energy we use is derived from fossil fuels. Although this energy source has got us this
far, there are several problems with it. For starters, it is a finite resource which is quickly running out. Some
analysts have even estimated that the Earth could run out of coal and oil within the next 50 years. Burning
fossil fuels also creates large amount of pollution, which is harmful to the environment. Although fossil
fuels still provide the majority of our power, governments are seeking better energy sources to use going
forward.
Green energy is one option that is becoming increasingly attractive. It includes technologies such as solar,
Page
wind, and hydro power. These are seen as clean sources of energy because they cause very little pollution. In
addition, they are completely renewable, so there is no danger that it will run out. The major disadvantage
with green energy sources is that they are not cheap.
The other alternative is nuclear power. Like green energy, it is also a renewable source of power that will
not run out, and it also doesn’t produce air pollution. In addition, nuclear power is more reliable than green
energy, as it doesn’t depend on sunshine, rain, or wind to operate. The major issues with nuclear power are
safety concerns and nuclear waste. Nuclear power plants create a considerable amount of nuclear waste
which is extremely hazardous to people’s health. If they happen to have a meltdown, this could destroy the
surrounding area for years to come.
The recent nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Japan brought this reality into the spotlight once again. In
response, Germany announced it would close down eight of its nuclear plants immediately, and close the
rest by 2022. Meanwhile, other nations refuse to give up on nuclear power, stating that these disasters are
rare. The debate of whether to use green or nuclear power will likely continue for some time. In the end, it is
quite possible that both energy sources will be used to fuel our planet.
(Adapted from Intensive Reading Comprehension Skills)

In the early days of sea travel, seamen on long voyages lived exclusively on salted meat and biscuits. Many
of them died of scurvy, a disease of the blood which causes swollen gums, livid white spots on the flesh
and general exhaustion.
On one occasion, in 1535, an English ship arrived in Newfoundland with its crew desperately ill. The men's
lives were saved by Iroquois Indians who gave them vegetable leaves to eat. Gradually it came to be
realized that scurvy was caused by some lack in the sailors' diet and Captain Cook, on his long voyages of
discovery to Australia and New Zealand, established the fact that scurvy could be warded off by the
provision of fresh fruit for the sailors.
Nowadays it is understood that a diet which contains nothing harmful may yet result in serious disease if
certain important elements are missing. These elements are called 'vitamins '. Quite a number of such
substances are known and they are given letters to identify them, A, B, C, D, and so on. Different diseases
are associated with deficiencies of particular vitamins.
Even a slight lack of Vitamin C, for example, the vitamin most plentiful in fresh fruit and vegetables, is
thought to increase significantly our susceptibility to colds and influenza.
The vitamins necessary for a healthy body are normally supplied by a good mixed diet, including a variety
of fruit and green vegetables. It is only when people try to live on a very restricted diet, say during
extended periods of religious fasting, or when trying to lose weight, that it is necessary to make special
provision to supply the missing vitamins.
(Adaped from the book Practical Faster Reading – A course in reading and vocabulary for upper-

Due to the nature of our business, it's sometimes necessary that our staff work at night. Night shifts can be
particularly demanding on employee wellbeing and health. This can include disruption to the body clock,
fatigue, sleeping difficulties, disturbed appetite and digestion, reliance on sedatives or stimulants, social
and domestic problems and other symptoms of ill health. To combat this, we do not have employees on
night shifts for extended periods. This is because workers’ bodies will just have started to adapt to the new
pattern.
We find rotation shifts every two to three days are best for workers and weekly or fortnightly rotations are
the least comfortable for workers. Forward-rotating programs (moving from morning to afternoon to night
shifts) are better than backward-rotating ones in terms of sleep loss and tiredness.
If someone works at night, there are rules covering the hours they work. Night time working hours are
usually between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. – but this can be flexible and should be discussed between you and us.
To qualify as night working, the night time period must be no more than 8 hours long and include the
period between midnight and 5 a.m. Any of our staff under 18 years are not allowed to be night workers.
We must make sure that you don't work more than an average of 8 hours in a 24-hour period. By law, you
can't opt out of this working limit. We must also keep records of any night workers’ working hours to
prove they aren't exceeding night working limits, and we must keep the records for at least 2 years. These
records can be inspected by you at any time on request.
Our usual limits and regulations for night workers do not apply to self-employed workers. This does not
include agency workers, who are treated as normal workers with us.
If you agree to working at night for us, the agreement will be put in writing. If you are to begin working at
night, we must perform a health assessment before you become a night worker and on a regular basis after
that. Usually, this is just done with a questionnaire, which was created in collaboration with qualified
health professionals. If there are any health questions regarding your health and night work, we will offer
you a follow-up examination by a health professional if you still wish to work nights.
Adapted from IELTS 5 practice Tests – General Set 3
- Tests No. 11-15 (High Scorer’s Choise) – page 109)

WATER: OUR MOST PRECIOUS RESOURCE

population live in areas (35) _______ there isn't sufficient fresh water. Not only that, but 25% live in
developing countries that suffer from frequent water (36) _______. They lack the systems necessary to
carry the water from the rivers to where it would be used.
If there is not enough clean water to drink, people will drink water of poor quality. This can increase the

RoboCup is a football competition that has taken place every year since 1997. But the players are not
human; they are robots. The competition's full name is ‘Robot Soccer World Cup’, and the aim is to create,
by the middle of the 21st century, a team of robot footballers that are able to play against and beat the
winners of the real World Cup.
In order for robots to play football, robotics companies have had to develop special technologies. A robot
can't just run onto the field and start kicking the ball. So each robot is fitted with a webcam which is
connected to a computer inside the robot. The robot is able to see where the other players are, where the
goal is and, most importantly, where the ball is. They are programmed to make their own decisions and
during the match the robots' creators are not allowed to tell them what to do. The robots are, however, able
to communicate with other members of their team, via a wireless network.
There is a long way to go before robots will be able to compete against humans. They need to become more
intelligent and become able to react more quickly and anticipate the game. But the technologies that are
being developed for scoring goals have other uses as well. It may be possible to develop robots that can be
used in search and rescue, for example, finding people trapped in buildings after earthquakes. They may
not be as fun to watch as real footballers, but at least they don't demand enormous salaries!
(Adapted from Solutions 3rd Edition by Tim Falla and Paul A Davies)

D. Robots need increased intelligence and better movements to play against humans.
A diver descends into an underwater cave, a scientist researches a dangerous disease, and an entrepreneur
invests in a new business. Each time we try something new, we take a risk. Sometimes, like the diver or the
businessman, we take big risks, usually for obvious reasons-for fame, for money, or to save lives. Most
people will take some risk to achieve one of these goals. But as the danger increases, the number of people
willing to go forward decreases. Only extreme risk-takers continue on. The question is: What exactly
drives these people to go on when others would stop?
To answer this question, scientists are studying the biological factors involved in risk-taking. Their
research focuses on certain chemicals in the brain. An important chemical in risk-taking is dopamine. It
motivates us to seek out and learn new things, and it helps us process emotions like anxiety and fear. When
we accomplish a task, dopamine produces a feeling of satisfaction; it makes us feel good. The riskier the
task, the more dopamine we produce, and the better we feel.
Dopamine production may make us feel good, but being in a high-risk situation for an extended period of
time is also stressful and can be dangerous. Successful risk-takers must learn to deal with the fear
associated with high-risk situations to reduce stress and stay safe. In reality, adapting to risk is something
we all learn to do. Take, for example, learning to drive a car. At first, a new driver may be afraid to travel
on freeways. In time, though, as the driver gains experience, he or she will move comfortably into speeding
traffic and will worry less about the danger. The work that marine biologist and deep-sea diver Rhian
Waller does illustrates this well. She studies life in some of the deepest and coldest waters on Earth. How
does Waller control her fear and stay safe in these high-risk situations? "It comes with practice," she says.
"It's knowing exactly what to do when something goes wrong. We prepare well for each of our expeditions,
and we try to minimize the number of risks we take."
Of course, a person doesn't have to be a deep-sea diver to be a risk-taker. Taking risks is part of being
human. We are all motivated to experience new things. In order to do so, we have to take chances and, of
course, we may fail.

Is synchronized swimming really a sport? Despite the doubt of many people, synchronized swimming is
one of the most underrated but most difficult sports, and it certainly deserves to be in the Olympic Games.
Olympic synchronized swimmers train for as long as eight hours a day, for six days a week− much longer
than most other Olympic sports. The athletes are not just in the water the whole time, they spend hours
stretching, doing Pilates, strength conditioning, diligently training, lifting weights, performing ballet, and
even dancing and doing gymnastics. Because of this, synchronized swimmers are some of the strongest and
skillful athletes to compete in the modern Olympic Games.
Synchronized swimmers must perform many movements and positions called figures while managing their
breathing and coordination with the swimmers around them. To increase their lung capacity, often times
synchronized swimmers will do exercises called “unders” during practices. They will swim a 25-meter lap
underwater, repeating this exercise over and over until they’re beyond exhausted. This exercise is
completely necessary for synchronized swimmers to master, because more than half of a routine is
performed underwater.
Although synchronized swimming is a very graceful and beautiful sport, there can be some dangers. The
synchronized swimmers can’t touch the bottom of the pool in a routine, or they’ll be disqualified. They
must continuously move their legs in circular movements, like an egg-beater. Because synchronized
Page
swimming is a contact sport and the swimmer’s kicks are so powerful, swimmers may get hit by other
competitors’ legs, causing concussions or knocking off nose clips, which is an essential piece of
equipment. Since it’s fairly common for a nose clip to get knocked off, many times swimmers will swim
with a couple extras.

Members of the royal family have led an outpouring of tributes from around the world at the death of
Prince Philip, the husband of Queen Elizabeth. Buckingham Palace has spoken of the Queen’s “deep
sorrow” after her husband of 73 years, who had been by her side throughout her reign, died peacefully at
Windsor Castle aged 99 on Friday night (Australian time).
Flags at Buckingham Palace and government buildings across the United Kingdom were lowered to half-
mast, and within an hour of the announcement the public began to lay flowers outside Windsor Castle and
Buckingham Palace. However, mourners have been urged not to gather and leave tributes at royal
residences, and the public has been asked to stay away from funeral events because of the coronavirus
pandemic. An online book of condolence has been launched on the Royal Family’s official website for
people to leave messages of sympathy.
The prince died two months short of his 100th birthday. He had recently spent four weeks in hospital with
an infection where he was treated for a heart condition before being discharged and returned to Windsor
early in March. The Duke of Edinburgh had been by his wife’s side throughout her 69-year reign, the
longest in British history, and during that time earned a reputation for a tough, no-nonsense attitude, and a
propensity for occasional gaffes. A Greek prince, Philip married Elizabeth in 1947, and together they had
four children, eight grandchildren, and nine great grandchildren. He played a key role helping the
monarchy adapt to a changing world in the post-World War II period, and behind the walls of Buckingham
Palace was the one key figure the Queen could trust and turn to, knowing he could tell her exactly what he
thought.
The death of the Duke comes in the midst of the worst public health crisis for generations as Britain and
countries around the globe reel from the devastating impact of the coronavirus pandemic. Philip will not
have a state funeral nor lie in state for the public to pay their respects ahead of the funeral, the College of
Arms said, with arrangements revised to meet coronavirus restrictions.
