School Hacker Faces Prison!

One morning, Kevin Lehman, a teacher at Greenwood High School in Texas, was grading his students’ math homework. He had started to enter the grades on the school database when he noticed something mysterious. He was by nature a careful person, so he checked all the grades again. According to the computer, one of his students, 18-year-old Dan Sinclair, had got the top grade in the last six maths tests. The problem was Lehman knew that he hadn’t. The boy’s grades had always been dreadful. So, who had changed the scores on the computer?

Lehman went to see Principal Sarah Lowe and explained the situation. Miss Lowe immediately called Dan to her office. Dan was unhelpful and said that he hadn’t done anything to the database. So, the Principal called the police. The police found copies of some final exams with all the answers in Dan’s desk. When they questioned Dan, he realised he was in a dangerous position and it was better to be truthful. He admitted that he had hacked into the school computer because he wanted to study law and he needed good maths grades. The police charged Dan with hacking and theft. If they find him guilty, Dan could go to prison for 40 years.

1. Kevin Lehman teaches / studies maths at Greenwood High School.

A Good Job

In the past when married couples had problems they usually split up or continued to live together in an unhappy relationship. These days couples, married or not, can get advice on their problems from many sources. A lot of them come to me.

I’m a counsellor and I’m trained to listen to couples with problems. Then I try to advise them on the best way forward. One of my main tasks is to get people to talk - to each other and to me. Often a relationship has problems because people keep all their feelings inside. If we talk about things, we can often find an answer.

It’s also important to realise that we’re not all perfect. We all make mistakes. But we need to say sorry and talk about how we can prevent these mistakes from happening again. This can make a relationship stronger.

I don’t always succeed in helping people to stay together. Sometimes it’s better for the couple to split up and start new lives apart. But it helps everyone if the break-up can be friendly, especially for any children involved.

I love my job. I meet all sorts of people and it’s generally very rewarding.

1. In the old times, couples chose to live together in an unhappy relationship instead of divorce.

____

2. Only married couples come to a counsellor. ____

3. One important thing in a good relationship is sharing our feelings. ____

4. Couples break up because they are not perfect. ____

5. Sometimes the break-up can help couples lead a better life. ____

III. Read the text, and mark the sentences true (T) or false (F). Correct the false sentences.

Learning to Love

How would you feel if your parents chose your partner?

In some cultures, parents choose a future husband or wife for their children and then organize a wedding. The reasons for these arranged marriages are complicated, but they’re usually connected with status, traditions and money. This affects some young people in Britain, but they don’t all agree with the practice.

‘I want to wait until the time is right.’

‘There’s a girl I like. I’ve known her since August, when we met on holiday. I’m not thinking of telling my parents yet because it’s nothing serious, but I’m not sure that they will understand if I bring a girlfriend home. I think that there may be a problem in the future. My parents come from a country where families choose a partner for their sons and daughters. They introduced me a girl “from a good family” recently. I hadn’t met her before, so she came to our house with her mother and father. It was a very formal occasion because they all think that this girl will be my future wife, but we didn’t have anything in common. I’m sixteen and I don’t want to get married to anyone at the moment. I want to wait until the time is right and choose my future partner myself. It’s difficult because I respect my parents and I don’t want to upset them.’

Harry, aged 16

‘All relationships require commitment.’

T used to think that “love” marriages were better than arranged marriages, but I’ve changed my mind recently. I’ve met people who are happy in arranged marriages. Maybe they weren’t in love when they got married, but with time they’ve learned to love and respect their partners. On the other hand, some people who are in “love” marriages split up. They’ve been with their partners for years, but they fall out and their marriages end in failure. I think a relationship needs commitment. Love isn’t enough on its own. The couple must be understanding and patient and build up their relationship over time. People can’t just fall in love, get married and hope that everything will perfect forever. That only happens in films.’

Samina, aged 17

1. In an arranged marriage, the parents of the future couple organize the wedding.

6. Samina thinks that a relationship needs more than love for it to last.

‘My little brother is a pain! He’s 8 years old, and he copies everything I do. When I watch TV, he watches it. When I listen to music, so does he. I think that if I spend a whole day cleaning, he’s probably join in. The worst part is when my friends come over. He won’t leave US alone for a minute. My friends say they won’t mind, but I don’t believe them. What should I do? I really need my space.’

Favourite Answer

‘Hi, Reese. You shouldn’t be angry with your brother. It’s cool that he admires you so much! You should tell him that you need your own space, but promise to spend some time with him. Why don’t you ask him what he’d like to do? I bet he’d be delighted. If you did a few things together sometimes, he’d probably leave you alone at other times. You should talk with your parents about the problem, too. I’m sure they can help.’

HollyG

‘My mum got a great job in a different town, so I’m starting a new school next week. If it was the start of the school year, it wouldn’t be so bad, but I’m changing school halfway through a term! I’m going to be ‘the new girl’, and I’m scared. How can I make new friends? Please tell me what I should do. I’m so worried that no one will like me. Every time I think about it, I get a headache.’

V. Read Phong’s story and the counsellor’s answer and do the tasks that follow.

Phong: In my school, everyone has a few different groups of friends, such as in our own class. I used to be rather popular in my class, if being popular meant that most of the girls in my class were my friends and generally liked me. Then I fell out of this friendship with my “best friend” because there were stuff about each other we didn’t like, I guess, and we just stopped hanging out together. After this, I started hanging out with this other clique in class I was quite close with. However, this clique was not really popular in our class. The clique was more on the "losers” side, although individually I guess most people were okay with them. As time went by, I found myself feeling more and more embarrassed to be in the same clique permanently as them. I was not the most popular student in my school, but I think I was more on the popular side because I knew quite a lot of people in our level and I was on the football team at school, where I think being in a sport made us more on the popular side. Furthermore, I felt more and more unappreciated in my clique. I didn't think they really appreciated my presence, and it feels like my being there or not made only a little difference to them, although I'm not sure if this is true. They also always left me out in conversations, which I really hate, and this makes me feel really sad.

Counsellor: I think you should be around people you like or want to be. The group being unpopular is not a reason to leave them. If you are good enough then, you can make the group popular. Choose friends who make you feel comfortable. Don't move in groups based on popularity or you may never have people who truly appreciate you. Make good friends even if they are a few. Don't compare your group with others or people may not trust you.

Task 1. Decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).

1. Phong broke up with his best friend because they had different tastes. _____

2. Being popular in his school meant most of the girls in his school were his friends and liked him.

_____

3. Phong felt unhappy because the group he was in was not popular in his class. _____

4. Being in a school sport team may make a student become popular. _____

5. Being present with other members of the group or not didn’t make any difference to Phong. _____

6. The counsellor thought that a member could make the group popular with his own talents. _____

7. You shouldn’t join a group only due to its popularity. _____

8. The counsellor advised Phong to join in the group which truly appreciated him. _____

Task 2: Match the underlined words in the text with the definition.

1. stuff (n) _____ A. a small group of people with the same interests

2. hang out (phr v) _____ B. not include someone

3. clique (n) _____ C. a thing or group of things that one is talking about

4. leave someone out (phr v) _____ D. to recognize the good values of someone

5. appreciate (v) _____ E. to spend a lot of time in a place

Peer Pressure

Mary is walking to her maths lesson. She has got a test, but she feels all right. Suddenly, Dan, the coolest boy in the class, speaks to her, “Come on!” he says. “Forget maths. Let’s go into town!” Now Mary feels bad. She has to make a difficult decision. Should she go to maths because that is the right thing to do, or should she take the chance to be friends with the most popular person in the class?

If you have had an experience like this, don’t worry. It is called peer pressure and it happens to everybody. However, people have different reactions. Confident people refuse to do things they
don’t want to do, but shy and anxious people often give in. It may be because they want to be liked. It may be because they worry that their friends will make fun of them, or perhaps they are just curious
about trying something new. Whatever the reason, some people end up doing things they really don’t want to do.

It is hard being the only one who says ‘no’, and the question is - how do you do it? Firstly, you must decide what you believe in. If you think that missing maths, or smoking, or going somewhere you know your parents wouldn’t like is a bad idea then the answer is simple. Don’t do it. It is your decision, not anybody else’s. You don’t need to shout and scream, but you must be confident and you must be firm. You need to say, “No, thanks. I don’t want to do that.”

Of course, being on your own against everybody else is very hard, so it can really help to have at least one other peer, or friend, who will say ‘no’ too. Choose your friends carefully. You want friends to support you when you are in trouble. You don’t want people who will always agree with the majority. Remember, the most popular people aren’t always the most trustworthy.

However, peer pressure is not completely negative. You can learn a lot from people of your own age. They can teach you great football skills or the best way to do your maths homework. And don’t forget you can tell them things too and that always feels great. So, find friends who have similar interests. And remember, friendship isn’t about feeling depressed. It is about sharing experiences and having fun.

Task 1. Decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).

1. Peer pressure means feeling you have to do something because your friends do it. _____

2. Peer pressure is very common. _____

3. Peer pressure is always a bad thing. _____

Task 2. Choose the best answer.

1. What does Dan suggest doing?

A. cheating in the maths test B. going in town after school

2. The text describes people who give in to peer pressure as _____.

A. quiet B. nervous C. popular D. funny

3. What does the word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?

Life without the Internet

Recently, an earthquake in Taiwan destroyed Internet lines in Asia, upsetting the lives of millions of people dependent on the web for their work and social relationships. Here are some hints on how to cope if a similar situation occurs.

 ____________________________________

With no chatrooms or games sites, you’ll have to find your own entertainment. Take out the games boards you put away when you were given your first PC or laptop and play Monopoly or Cluedo with your friends and family. You’ll be surprised at how much fun it is.

‚ ____________________________________

Instead of emailing your friends, you’ll have to talk to them on the phone. And perhaps you can get to know some of the many friends you made in the chatroom and find out if they’re actually anything like they said they were in their profiles.

ƒ ____________________________________

As an alternative to picking up the phone, you could visit your friends in their own houses. Instead of chatting to them every night from your room. That way you could find things to do together and maybe even meet an interesting older brother or sister. You will also be burning off calories, which will help keep you fit and healthy.

„ ____________________________________

The art of letter-writing died with the advent of the Internet and with it, the joy of receiving letters from others. Write some letters to your friends in foreign regions, and experience the pleasure of getting a letter back.

… ____________________________________

Discover where your local library is and remind yourself what research was like before the age of the online research. Remember, many others will be doing the same as you, so it will be an ideal meeting place for people of your age.

LOVE - Celebrated Around The World

Everyone had heard Valentine’s Day. Americans traditionally send cards, chocolates, and flowers to the people they love on February 14^th, but it isn’t the only way people celebrate love around the world. Our reporter, Kelly Wilson, interviewed people about festival traditions in different countries.

St. George’s Day - Catalonia, Spain

Kelly: In Catalonia, you celebrate love on April 23^rd. Is that right?

Laia: Yes, we do. It’s St. George’s Day. St. George is the patron saint of Catalonia, as well as other countries, like England and Greece.

Kelly: The festival also has different names, doesn’t it?

Laia: Yes, it does. In Catalonia we sometimes also call it ‘The Day of the Rose’, or ‘The Day of the Book’. That’s because people give each other roses and books on this day.

Kelly: Should men should give women roses?

Laia: Yes, they should. And women should give men books.

Kelly: Is it a very popular tradition in Catalonia?

Laia: Yes, it is, particularly in Barcelona. On April 23^rd, the downtown area is packed with street performers and musicians, and many of the bookstores and cafes join in the celebrations. It’s a great day.

Friendship Day - Argentina

Kelly: Do you celebrate Valentine’s Day in Argentina, Mateo?

Mateo: Yes, we do! But we also celebrate Friendship Day on July 20^th.

Kelly: Is that a festival of love and friendship?

Mateo: Yes, it is. Because love is for everyone, not just couples!

Kelly: Have Argentinians celebrated this festival since the 1970s?

Mateo: Yes, they have. On July 20^th, 1969, Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, and people around the world celebrated together. The Argentinian professor Enrique Febbraro started ‘Friendship Day’ on the same date because he thought that this was a very special moment. It symbolizes unity and togetherness.

Kelly: Can you celebrate this festival in many different ways?

Mateo: Of course! But typically, we send messages, we make phone calls, and we go out at night. It’s a very busy night for restaurants. On this night, everyone wants to eat out.

IV. Read the passage, and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D for each question.

Today's urban cities are practically bursting at the seams. According to research from the United Nations, 54 percent of the world's population lives in urban cities areas, a percentage that is expected to increase to over 66 percent by 2050. In fact, India alone is projected to add 404 million urban dwellers to its population by 2050.

This rapid growth of the urban population has caused daunting problems for city planners, such as overcrowded roads, excessive energy consumption and unemployment. Therefore, to build more sustainable cities and accommodate the growing number of residents, many city leaders are turning to the Internet of things (IoT).

The IoT has forever changed the way urban cities operate. Cities that were once detached and inaccessible are now intelligent and highly connected. From Amsterdam to Seoul, cities are launching smart city projects to help improve quality of life residents and better support the environment. According to research from IHS Technology, there will be at least 88 smart cities globally by 2025, up from 21 in 2013.

San Francisco, for example, provides more than 100 charging stations in various locations to promote the use of hybrid and electric cars to reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions. Copenhagen is also taking advantage of the lot to improve environmental protection and reduce road traffic by developing smart bikes equipped with sensors that generate date on air contamination and traffic congestion.

The possibilities afforded by the IoT are endless; however, designing smart cities quires comprehensive technology infrastructure that is capable of capturing and processing large amounts of data quickly and securely - which is where 4G LTE comes into play.

The future looks bright for urban cities. Soon they will be able to do things that only sci-fi enthusiasts could dream of before, like monitoring bridge conditions using intelligent sensors and conserving energy by automatically dimming street lights when no one is around.

1. Some cities which follow this trend of the new technology ____.

A. introduce smart bikes to escape air contamination and traffic congestion

B. provide charging stations in various locations for cars and bikes

C. make transportation more eco-friendly and more convenient

D. only allow the use of hybrid and electric cars to reduce pollution

A. the Internet of Things will be applied in several cities around the world

B. the number of smart cities decreases but the quality is much better

C. cities around the world become more intelligent and connected

3. Today's urban cities ____.

A. are in fact extremely crowded

B. are bursting around the world

C. account for 66 percent of the world's population

D. have more 404 million dwellers by 2050

4. The potential of the IoT includes all of the following EXCEPT that ____.

A. intelligent sensors can help watch and check bridge conditions carefully

B. energy conservation can be done by automatically controlling street lights

C. things that only sci-fi enthusiasts could dream of before come true

D. comprehensive technology infrastructure to support the IoT is endless
