ROZUMIENIE TEKSTÓW PISANYCH Zadanie 4 (0–4) Przeczytaj tekst, który został podzielony na trzy części A–C oraz zdania w tabeli. Do każdego zdania 4.1–4.4 dopasuj właściwą część tekstu. Wpisz rozwiązania do tabeli. Uwaga: jedna część tekstu pasuje do dwóch zdań. In this paragraph the writer 4.1

mentions a potential conflict caused by advertising in schools.

4.2

outlines several different ways in which companies promote themselves in schools.

4.3

talks about a promotion that would have been very difficult to take advantage of.

4.4

points out a long-term benefit that companies think about.

A For advertisers, there are three good reasons to target school children.

Firstly, they have money to spend – and the amount of money is growing. In the USA, teenagers between twelve and seventeen are now spending about $190 billion a year. Secondly, they have ‘pester power’: if they want something, they repeatedly ask their parents to buy it. Thirdly, they are tomorrow’s adult consumers, and may stay loyal to the brands they bought as children.

B There are financial advantages for schools who allow advertising. For

example, most secondary schools in Britain have vending machines which are provided by large food and drink companies. Schools usually earn between £10,000 and £15,000 a year from these. This income can then be spent on books and equipment. Another way of doing this is through loyalty schemes operated by some supermarkets. In the past thirteen years, the giant supermarket firm, Tesco, has provided more than 50,000 computers and 500,000 pieces of computer equipment to thousands of schools, in exchange for vouchers which the students and their parents collect when they shop at Tesco. Another company, ‘Be Sport Ltd’, supplies free sports kits to schools which have the names of sponsors on the shirts and shorts. These kits would normally cost £400 per team.

C However, many people are unhappy about the growing influence of big

business in education. Schools should encourage free-thinking – the opposite goal of advertising, which tries to influence our thoughts in a particular direction. They argue that vending machines promote unhealthy food and drink at a time when obesity in young people is a serious problem in Britain. When Cadbury’s, who make chocolate in the UK, offered to supply free sports equipment to schools in return for vouchers, there was a big protest. It was pointed out that pupils would have to purchase 5,440 bars of chocolate in order to get a free volleyball set.

Zadanie 5 (0–5) Przeczytaj dwa teksty dotyczące wakacji. Z podanych odpowiedzi wybierz właściwą, zgodną z treścią tekstu. Zakreśl literę A, B, C albo D. Tekst 1 5.1 What does the author find surprising about Mr Lim? A that he has chosen to share his house with so many other people. B that he bought such a wide bed for a tiny flat. C that he lends his friends his computer at night. D that he meets his friends so often. 5.2 In the third paragraph, the author explains that this profession A is very competitive. B is most popular in Asia. C is every young person’s dream. D is something you must devote yourself to.

A NEW DREAM JOB Mr Lim, twenty-four, is an absolute professional. What used to be his hobby is now a profession earning him about 300,000 US dollars in just the last year. Over the next couple of years he will make much more. He lives in a small, two-bedroom apartment and, despite making a fortune, shares it with nine other people which is unbelievable. There’s a computer for everyone, but not much room for anything more, except pizza boxes and bags filled with clothes. When, after a 10-hour training session, Mr Lim is ready to get some sleep, he simply rolls out a mattress. Like many of his profession, he prefers to sleep during the day and sit in front of his computer most of the night. His private life is non-existent and he hasn’t been on a date for ages. So what is Mr Lim’s job? He’s a professional computergame player who spends his days

wiping out countless armies and fighting alien species. This profession only appeared on the job market a few years ago, but it’s a booming industry. In Korea, thousands of young people try out for the top teams. In the US, there are over 200 pros, the best ones joining professional leagues founded in the late 90s. The rules of selection are very strict, but anyone who thinks they’ve got what it takes can register through a national system and then climb from one level to the next to finally join the national team. These compete against each other in Singapore at the world championships.

Tekst 2 5.3 The author likes working for herself because A she gets more time to relax B it makes her seem like a risk taker. C there is no one to tell her what to do. D she only accepts the most interesting work. 5.4 In the second paragraph, what does the author mean by ‘it makes me laugh’? A The fact that she’s not stressed even though she hasn’t got her work done. B The way she works in contrast to more conventional ways of working. C The idea of people watching her while she is working. D The thing that she likes to write about most. 5.5 From both texts we learn that A it is not necessary to do conventional work to earn a living. B working for yourself means that you can achieve a lot more. C it is more productive to work late at night if you work at home. D freelance workers can combine their paid jobs with other chores.

Working from home is brilliant. You can start work at whatever time you like, and stay in your pyjamas all day if you feel like it and no one will ever know. I’m sure people think I have a hard life. Freelance work sounds scary to lots of people and that’s probably because of the uncertainty of it. Will you get enough work to pay the bills? What if there’s no work coming in? Well, comparing freelance work to the more traditional kind, I know which I prefer. I’d much rather take the risks to enjoy the benefits of being my own boss and choosing which work I want to do. Now don’t get me wrong, I do work hard. I mean it’s nearly midnight on the night before my birthday and I’m writing this because I’ve missed a deadline. But when I think about how I work compared to how other people work, it makes me laugh. I mean, I do some of my best writing in the bath. I find it’s relaxing so it helps me come up with ideas. And I’m doing two things at once – getting clean and getting stuff written. I’m just glad that there isn’t a camera on the wall following me during my working day. How would anyone ever take me seriously again when I said how much work I had on, if they knew exactly what I got up to?

On 3 July 2003, a thirty-five-year-old Englishman called Doug Bruce walked into a police station in Coney Island, New York, and told the police that he did not know his own name. 6.1 And at that moment, he had no idea where he was going, where he had been, or who he was. Doug went to a police station because he had nowhere else to go. He was wearing a T-shirt, shorts and flip-flops and he had a rucksack with a few possessions in it: a Spanish phrase book, a bunch of keys and a map of New York. The police were puzzled. ‘We’d never had anything like this before,’ says Lieutenant Pete Pena. They sent Doug to Coney Island Hospital. On his name tag, the nurse wrote ‘Unknown white male’. The doctors were surprised at the severity of his memory loss. 6.2 One specialist at the hospital, Dr Leonid Voroybyev, admitted that he’d only ever seen such a serious case ‘in the movies and in my textbooks’. The hospital authorities would not let Doug go until he had been identified. Eventually, hospital staff found a phone number inside the phrase book in Doug’s rucksack. 6.3 However, when Doug spoke to the daughter, Nadine, she recognised his voice at once. ‘Is that you, Doug?’ she asked. ‘I don’t know,’ came the reply. Nadine went to the hospital, told the doctors who Doug was, and took him home. ‘Home’ turned out to be a stunning apartment in downtown Manhattan, which he shared with two dogs and three parrots. Doug discovered that he had previously lived in Paris, where he had made a lot of money working at the stock exchange. Now that Doug knew about his identity, he had to cope with other challenges. He was worried about meeting his family and friends because he thought they would seem like strangers to him. However, when he met his sisters, they told him that he had changed. 6.4 According to them, he had become much more relaxed and wasn’t scared to let people know how he was feeling. And indeed to Doug, it felt like his life had started all over again as he tasted strawberries, saw snow fall and watched fireworks explode for what seemed like the first time.

A Although Doug could form sentences, he remembered nothing about his own past and seemed to know little about the world. B He’s happy with his new life and his story has now been made into a documentary by an old friend of his. C Before his memory loss, he had been very sociable and outgoing, but rarely showed his emotions. D It belonged to an ex-girlfriend’s mother, but when staff contacted her, she had no idea who he was. E He had woken up a few minutes earlier on a subway train, with bumps on his skull and a headache.
