King Pine, The Pineapple

It’s hard to believe now, but in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries pineapples were such a
status symbol for the very rich that they were quite often rented for special occasions…
Pineapples were first brought to Europe by Christopher Columbus in 1493 after his
voyage to the Caribbean. He discovered them in Guadeloupe and brought them back to Spain.
It is no exaggeration to say that Europeans went wild for the exotic delicacy of this fruit.
From the moment pineapples were introduced to Britain in the 16th century, it became
immediately clear that they could not be cultivated in the cold and humid British climate.
People still tried though, and for nearly two hundred years there were many failed attempts to
grow the fruit. They were finally able to succeed by using ‘hot-houses’ in the 18th century.
They were also famously difficult to transport from the colonies without spoiling, therefore
due to their rarity, they became insanely expensive and popular as a status symbol.
Only the incredibly wealthy could afford such a decadent prize. Many famous people
from that time adored the fruit; Charles II of England, Catherine the Great, Louis XV and
King Ferdinand of Spain, to name but a few. Another contributing factor to the popularity of
the pineapple was the general lack of sweetness in the diet of the population at that time. Cane
sugar was expensive, other fruits were seasonal and the common people would rarely have
tasted anything so sweet.
So famous and coveted did pineapples become that they are actually present in a portrait
of Charles II. The iconic painting ‘Charles II presented with a pineapple’ shows the King
being presented with a pineapple by his gardener John Rose. Charles is attributed as having
given the pineapple its contemporary name, the ‘King Pine’. From this period throughout the
coming centuries this is how the fruit was referred to in literature. During the height of its
popularity a pineapple would sell for as much as £8000 in today’s money.

16. In the 16th century,

A) pineapples were first brought to Algeria from the Caribbean.
B) attempts to grow pineapples in Britain were made.
C) the popularity and fame of pineapples started to decline.
D) people did not like the exotic pineapple flavour.

17. In Britain, pineapples

A) were fairly easy to cultivate.
B) were available to everyone.
C) were transported in large quantities.
D) were well-liked and truly admired.

18. One of the reasons for the popularity of the pineapple was that people
A) considered it a symbol of royalty.
B) found it healthy and nutritious.
3
 C) did not like the local seasonal fruits.
D) liked its natural sweetness.

19. The pineapple was named “King Pine”

A) after a portrait of king Charles II.
B) by the royal gardener John Ross.
C) by the English king Charles II.
D) because it was the king’s favourite fruit.

20. What is NOT TRUE about the pineapple?

A) It was easy to transport and supply to European markets.
B) It was worth thousands of pounds in today’s money.
C) It was a symbol of wealth and status.
D) It was extremely popular among the rich.

Liberty Hill was a small freshwater town – not a hill, really, but just a modest rise in the
land – where the streets were named for trees and heroes, and a sense of life’s community ran
in the air. It was like a hundred American towns, smug and cosy, but it put its special stamp
upon its history. People born and raised there – high and low, rich and poor – were neighbours
in an irrevocable way, because their imaginations had been nursed on the same sights and
sounds and legends and early ordeals. They had played in the same sunny fields and cooled
off after the heat of their games in the same shade. They had all been exposed at a tender age
to the impartial justice, the firm regulations, and the grey, calm, neutral eyes of the same
teacher – the terrible Miss Dove.
Each June some forty-odd little girls and boys were graduated from Cedar Grove. They
went on to the wider world of junior high and, beyond that, to further realms of pleasure and
pain. In the course of time they forgot much. They forgot dates and decimals and how to write
business letters.
But they never forgot Miss Dove.
Years afterwards the mention of the Euphrates River or the Arctic Circle would put them
right back in her classroom. They would see again the big map with its flat blue ocean and its
many-coloured countries. (India was pink, they would recall, and China was orange, and the
Italian boot was purple.) They would see Miss Dove lifting her long stick to point out the
location of strange mountains and valleys. And they would also feel again the wonder of a
world far-flung and various. They would feel a little thirst.
The children of each grade came to her forty-five minutes a day, five days a week. Their
babyish shyness, their lisping pronunciation, their reckless forgetfulness – these evoked no
compassion from Miss Dove. Her class were like a body of raw recruits that she was to
toughen and charge with purpose. Miss Dove was the stuff that commanders are made of.
Almost all teachers at Cedar Grove had trouble keeping order, but not Miss Dove. Other
teachers tried to make a game of their work – they played store and gave students gold star
stickers, they threatened and coaxed them. Miss Dove never raised her voice. She rarely
smiled. She laid before the children her unchangeable laws. And the laws were always
obeyed. Work was to be done on time. There was to be no whispering, no hair chewing, no

5
wriggling. Coughing, if indulged in at all, was to be covered with a clean handkerchief. When
one of these laws was chipped, Miss Dove merely looked at the offender. That was all.

21. Liberty Hill was

A) a very small seaside town.
B) not a typical American town.
C) widely known for its great heroes.
D) a place with a strong sense of community.
22. It can be inferred from the text that Cedar Grove was
A) a primary school.
B) a nursery school.
C) a secondary school.
D) a single-sex school.
23. Miss Dove taught
A) History.
B) Geography.
C) Arts.
D) Science.
24. Most teachers at Cedar Grove
A) always talked softly to their students.
B) never praised and encouraged their students.
C) found it hard to maintain classroom discipline.
D) made no effort to attract the students’ attention.
25. What is NOT TRUE about Miss Dove’s classroom?
A) There were strict rules and regulations.
B) The students always kept to the rules.
C) Miss Dove never shouted to her students.
D) The students found her lessons dull and boring.

A Talk about Motivation

We think we know how to motivate people and offer them a reward. ‘Do this and you’ll
get this’. ‘Do this faster, earn more money’. We offer incentives when we want people to do
things. We do it at work, at school, even at home with our kids. But when social psychologists
test whether incentives work, they get surprising results. A Professor in psychology set people
a problem to solve and told them he was going to time them to see how long they took. Then
he put them in two groups. He offered one group a reward for finishing fast. To the other
group he offered no incentive, but he told them he was going to use their times to calculate an
average time. You’d think the first group solved the problem faster. No, they actually took
three and a half minutes longer than the group who just thought they were being timed. The
incentive didn’t work! In fact, it made them slower. This experiment has been repeated many
times with the same results. In business we still offer bonuses, promotions and rewards to
6
staff. That’s fine if we want them to do something simple. An incentive works then. But if we
want someone to do something complex, something creative where they have to think,
rewards don’t work. People even perform worse. Another study showed that the bigger the
reward, the worse the subjects performed on a complex task. The reward made them focus so
hard on the result that they couldn’t think creatively any more. And this all matters because
more simple jobs will become automated. We’ll be left with creative, problem-solving jobs
that computers will never do. And we need to find a way to motivate people to do those jobs
when we’ve proved the traditional incentives don’t work. So, what does work? Give your
workers freedom to work on the things they want to work on. Let them choose when, where
and how to work. If they want to work from home three days a week, get up late and work
into the night instead, it is fine. Just do the job well! Evidence shows people who choose the
way they work get better results. Companies that give employees time during the week to
work on things that interest them and are not part of their regular job achieve amazing results.

26. We try to motivate workers in the same way we try to motivate our children – by
offering them incentives.
A) True. B) False. C) No information in the text.
27. In the Professor’s experiment, the people who were offered a reward finished faster
than those who were not offered one.
A) True. B) False. C) No information in the text.

A) True. B) False. C) No information in the text.
29. Research evidence shows that the more freedom and choice you give workers, the
worse the results from their work are.

PART ONE: LISTENING COMPREHENSION

Text One
Directions: You will hear a text about the Snowbombing Festival twice. Before you listen to it,
you have 2 minutes to read the questions. While listening for the first time, you can look at the
questions and the suggested choices, but you are not allowed to take notes. When you hear the
whole text, you have 4 minutes to answer the questions on your answer sheet, choosing among A,

Snowbombing is a five-day music festival that delivers music with a massive helping of snow.
Established in 1999, Snowbombing first took place in France. Later it moved along the French
Alps to Switzerland, holding two editions there in between. Then it settled into its long-term
home of Mayrhofen in Austria, where it has been held every year in April since 2005. It’s not just
music on offer – enthusiasts can take up skiing in between live music sets, lounge in spas and
saunas and enjoy the town.

Whether you’re a seasoned skier or simply wish to dip your toe into the world of snow sports,
Snowbombing has you covered: you can hire skis or a board and hit the slopes with friends, or
book yourself in for a lesson beforehand. With over 650 km of pistes, blue runs, red runs and
Europe’s steepest slope – aptly named with the Japanese term “Harakiri“ – Mayrhofen is perfect
for beginners and experts alike.

The festival is unique not only because of the great location but also because of the fact that
during the five action-packed days it has music scheduled for almost the entire festival (there is
only 4 hrs per day when there is no music or DJ scheduled to appear). Stamina is therefore a
definite essential.
Snowbombing is famous not only for its snow sports and music but also for its commitment to
relaxation. Festival goers wishing to take a break from the snow can sink into the warm waters of
a Moroccan-style pool, or relax in a hot tub overlooking the Austrian mountains. And for those
really craving the heat, there are 17 different types of saunas to choose from.

Prices start from £249 per person for seven nights at a hotel and a festival ticket, with the option
to extend your stay to eight nights.

The Crystal Palace was a glass and cast iron structure originally built in Hyde Park, London, for
the Great Exhibition of 1851. The building was designed by Sir Joseph Paxton, an architect and
gardener, and revealed breakthroughs in architecture, construction and design.
In 1849 Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria and president of the Royal Society of Arts,
came up with the idea of inviting international exhibitors to participate in an exposition. Plans
were developed and the necessary funds speedily raised, with Queen Victoria herself heading the
list of subscribers. The exhibition opened in the Crystal Palace on May 1, 1851.
Some 14,000 exhibitors participated, nearly half of whom were non-British. France sent 1,760
exhibits and the United States 560. More than six million visitors attended the exhibition, which
was open to the public until October 11. The event showed a significant profit, and a closing
ceremony was held on October 15. Thereafter the building was taken down, and it was rebuilt at
Sydenham Hill in Upper Norwood, overlooking London from the south.
The Crystal Palace established an architectural standard for later international fairs and
exhibitions that likewise were housed in glass conservatories, the immediate successors being the
Cork Exhibition of 1852, and the Dublin and New York City expositions of 1853.

Most teenagers in America are constantly using social media. A new survey, conducted by
Common Sense Media, shows that more teens now say they prefer texting to talking to other
people in person, and they admit smartphone apps are waking them up at night and distracting
them from homework.
No surprises there to anyone who knows a teenager. Teens are often depicted as being heedless of
the consequences of spending so much time on their smartphones. But the survey found some
surprises. It shows that teens are very much aware of the pitfalls of social media use.
Common Sense Media interviewed more than 1,100 teens aged 13 to 18. It turned out that
teenagers are not mindless slaves to their smartphones. In reality, teens are fully aware of the
power of devices to distract them from key priorities, such as homework, sleep and time with
friends and family. More than half – 57 percent – said social media distracts them from doing
homework and 54 percent admitted that they sometimes ignored people they were with to pay
attention to social media.
“We find it very encouraging that teens are very aware that social media companies like
Instagram, Snapchat and Facebook are manipulating them. That means that they’re increasingly
aware that those companies don't necessarily have their best interests at heart,” said Jim Steyer,
CEO and founder of Common Sense Media.
But teenagers like the technology. The proportion of teens who say their favourite way to
communicate with their friends in person dropped from 50 percent in 2012 to 25 percent in 2020.
It’s not all negative. A quarter of the teens surveyed said these apps make them feel less lonely,
and only 3 percent said using them makes them feel more isolated.
