Susanna Brightman

Susanna Brightman is a young Australian basketball player. She is 195 cm tall, and very fast and strong. Some people say she may become the best player in the world one day. As well as playing for her own country, she plays for a team called Boston Hawks in America.

Susanna was born on 15th June 1992. Her mother and father were both basketball players and when she was just 2 weeks old she was already travelling around the country with them while they played basketball. When she was still very young, Susanna told her parents she wanted to play for Australia. At the age of 16, she played for her country for the first time.

But things have not always been easy. When Susanna was 12, she toured Australia for the first time. One day, the team she was playing for lost an important match because Susanna didn't want to play. Susanna's parents were angry with her but told her that she didn't have to play basketball if she didn't want to. She needed to think hard about her future.

Hen Friend

When Julie Carver was six years old, she lived on a farm. It was her job to feed the hens every
morning before breakfast. There were three hens: Daisy, Maisie and Lazy. Daisy was Julie's
favourite.
Every day when Julie came home from school, Daisy ran to the gate, flapping her wings and
squawking loudly. One day Julie was feeling ill and couldn’t go to school. Daisy sat outside
the house all day making the 'koor, koor' sound that hens make when their chicks are young.
When Julie was nine, her father got a new job. The family left the farm and went to live in a
flat in town. They couldn't take the hens with them. Julie was sad. The people who bought
their farm promised to take good care of the hens, but Julie knew she was going to miss
Daisy.
One day Julie's teacher decided to take the class on a picnic. The picnic vas in a park near
Julie's old home. Julie was sitting with her friends, enjoying herself. Suddenly, they heard a
loud squawking noise. They looked up and saw a hen running towards them, flapping its
wings. It was Daisy!

BEGINNER – PROGRESS TEST | 4

B. They fail to see them as part of the learning process.

LEARNING FROM MISTAKES

Have you ever noticed how children are always making mistakes? They do it all the time, and it doesn’t seem to bother them. You don’t learn to walk without falling over. You don’t learn to speak without mispronouncing lots of words. You don’t learn to juggle without dropping balls. But if you create an environment where mistakes are not accepted, then people become frightened of them.(1)......... In these kinds of environment people learn to hide their mistakes, and not to celebrate them as a good thing. If you’re not making mistakes then you’re not learning anything valuable. 

Do you remember the first time you touched a computer? You didn’t want people to watch you as you started to touch the keys. You worried that if you touched the wrong button, you would delete all the important files. Children aren’t like that. They experiment with all the buttons, just to see what will happen. (2)......... And they are learning from every move they make. 
        The fear of success comes later, and we can see this often in successful professionals and leaders. (3).......... So they start to worry, and decide not to take risks. Don’t let this happen to you. (4)........... See what opportunities can arise from you the mistakes you make, and soon you’ll feel happier about yourself.

Họ không coi chúng là một phần của quá trình học tập ...... học cách che giấu những sai lầm của họ, và không tán dương chúng như một điều tốt.

• You are going to read a magazine article about a painting created by a computer. Six sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A–G the one which fits each gap (1 – 6). There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use.

                                                                                     A computer-generated painting

 

   Born in Amsterdam in 1606, Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn is one of the world’s most renowned artists. The prolific painter was famous for his portraits and was admired for his ability to capture real emotions. Unfortunately, like many artists of his time, Rembrandt’s talents were not recognized during his lifetime. The artist died penniless in 1669, after suffering many years of hardship. Interestingly, a painting unveiled in Holland in 2016 has made headlines around the world because it looks as if it was painted by a famous 17th-century Dutch artist.

1. ____________________________________________________________

   It is, in fact, a brand new painting that uses technology to mimic his technique so perfectly that it could easily be mistaken for one created by the great artist himself. The clever forgery, called the ‘Next Rembrandt’, took 18 months to complete and is the result of a collaboration between computer experts and art experts. The team collected data from the Dutch artist’s 346 known paintings to help them imitate as closely as possible his technique, choice of color, structure, texture, and topic. They used facial recognition software and a unique computer program to analyze the individual features of his style. 

2. ______________________________________________________________

   The computer needed as much data as possible to enable it to mimic the artist’s work accurately. Rembrandt painted a large number of portraits, many of which were of men with mustaches wearing black suits with white collars 3. ___________________ They decided that the ‘Next Rembrandt’ would be a portrait of a white male between 30 and 40 years old, wearing black clothes, a white-collar, and a hat.

4. ____________________________________________________________

   The special software system that the team had designed gathered information about Rembrandt’s style based on his use of geometry, the way he placed the objects and people concerning one another in his paintings, and his choice of paint colors. The data was used to generate the facial features for the ‘Next Rembrandt’. The individual elements were put together to form the face and the chest in the same proportions as the original paintings created by the Dutch artist.

5. ____________________________________________________________

   When this had been done, a 3D printer was used to bring the ‘Next Rembrandt’ to life. Comprising 148 million pixels and 13 layers of ultra-violet ink, the ‘painting’ is a clever forgery that looks exactly like an original Rembrandt, at least to the untrained eye. The goal of the project was to start a discussion about how data and technology could become an essential part of the art world. The project was not universally popular and did receive some criticism 6. _______________________________________ They aimed to ensure that the ‘Next Rembrandt’ would be a masterpiece, one that even the famous Dutch artist would be proud of, and they seem to have succeeded.

+ ANSWER:

A. However, many art historians, including Rembrandt experts, were incredibly supportive.

B. Once the subject had been determined, the next stage of the process could begin.

C. These included details like painting strokes, the artist’s preferred angle, and so on.

D. As a result, they actually considered giving up on it at this point.

E. The team then used technology to add depth and texture to their image.

F. The authentic-looking masterpiece is not the work of Rembrandt, though.

G. For this reason, the team settled on creating something similar.

You are going to read an article about a national vote for people’s favourite tree. Six sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A-G the one which fits each gap (65-70). There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use.

                       TREE OF THE YEAR

The aim of the national Tree of the Year competition is to promote and celebrate the most interesting trees around the country. Images and descriptions of a shortlist of 28 trees are put online and the public are asked to vote for their favourite.

The four trees that gain the most votes before 5 p.m. on 5th October will be given a grant of £1,000. In addition, all trees that receive 1,000 or more votes will get a grant of £500. The grants may be spent on a tree health check or advice from a tree expert, or an educational event, for example. (65) ………………. 

Among the 28 shortlisted trees there are a wide range of tree species, each with its own unique, fascinating story. For example, the ‘Ding Dong’ tree is a copper beech tree growing in a primary school playground. It was named the ‘Ding Dong’ tree because of a game pupils invented in which they race to touch its trunk, shouting ‘Ding Dong!’ The protective space underneath the 50-year-old tree is used as a magical outdoor classroom, while the indoor classroom displays pictures of the tree through each season of the year. (66) ……………….

Many of the other trees in the competition are remarkable for their age alone. The Craigends Yew, for example, is thought to be up to 700 years old, making it one of the oldest in Scotland. It is an amazing sight as many of its branches have layered. (67) ………………. As a result of these extra growths, the total size when measured around the tree’s crown (the main body of its leaves and branches) is a massive 100 metres.

Another very old tree, the Holm Oak in Kilbroney Park, Northern Ireland, is much loved by local people. It measures 3.6 metres around the trunk, and its beautiful bark looks like the skin of a snake. (68) ………………. The advantage of this lack of uprightness is that young children can climb safely and easily on it. Kilbroney Park is home to many remarkable trees, but this tree was chosen as the favourite by community members.

A 500-year-old veteran oak tree stands in the ancient woodland pasture at Carngafallt in Wales. One of the interesting things about this twisted, hollow tree is that it has several ‘air trees’ growing out of it. An ‘air tree’ is one growing without its roots touching the ground. (69) ………………. It extends its roots down inside the oak’s hollow trunk.

The original Bramley apple tree in Nottinghamshire is younger than many in this competition, but is the famous parent of all modern Bramley apple trees. (70) ………………. Many years later, Matthew Bramley, the new owner of the tree, was carrying some of his fruit when he met a gardener called Henry Merryweather. Henry asked if he could take some cuttings from Matthew's trees to grow his own trees. Mr Bramley agreed, provided they were named ‘Bramley's Seedling’.

 

A.

This means that they are touching the ground and have taken root.

B.

These roots have become enormous with age and have now emerged above the ground. Children love to jump over them like horses in a race.

C.

But the most distinctive thing about this tree is that its main trunk is leaning towards the ground at an angle of 45 degrees.

D.

The best example of this on the big old tree is another species of tree called a rowan.

E.

Alternatively, they could be used to hold a community event in honour of the tree.

F.

It was planted from a seed in 1809 by a woman called Ann Brailsford.

G.

 

Children hang bird feeders from its branches and it is used as the focus of many of the educational activities going on around it.

CHAT WITH FRIENDS IN AN INSTANT (by Chris Toney)

A. Ways to communicate.       D. Speed and flexibility.

B. Getting started.                   E. Communicating with friends online.

C. Choose your category.        F. Long – distance solution.

 

1. D

Instant messaging –or IM- is more immediate than e-mail as you don’t have to check your inbox for new messages – they appear instantly. Another advantage is that more than two people at a time can join in an IM conversation, so it’s ideal for, say, making social arrangements among groups of friends.

2.

Communication by IM isn’t restricted to text. You can send pictures stored on your computer, and if you have microphones and speakers you can talk – the advantage being that internet charges are usually cheaper than phone calls. If you and a friend have webcams, you can also make a video call, in which you can see as well as hear each other.

3.

John Moran, 13, from Southport uses instant messaging to keep in touch with relatives more often”. Carol Taylor, 24, who lives in Argentina, agrees. “My parents live in the UK, and we prefer using an instant messengers to sending email or text messages as it’s more like a real on the other side of the world. “When I go online I swap messages with my cousins in Australia”, says John. It’s much cheaper than phoning them and means I can speak to them conversation”, she says. “I’d rather chat online than call them as it costs so much less”.

4.

The fist step in using IM is to download a piece of software from one of the websites that offer the service. If you already have friends who use IM, find out which program they have. It’s free, doesn’t take long to download and the only costs you face are the standard call charges while you’re on line.

5. 

Once you’ve installed this software and connected to the Internet you can start exchanging messages with your friends online. Each user of the service has their own user name. If you find out the user name of people you know, you can create a friend lists. Then, when you go on line, the software tells you which of them are also connected to the Internet, and you can send them a message.

6.

The features on offer vary depending on which service you opt for, although there is not much difference between instant messenger packages. As well as allowing you to use microphones and webcams, most give you a range of options regarding your status. You can usually appear as “online”, “busy” or “away from PC”. The “busy” status is useful if you’re online but don’t want to be disturbed. The “away from PC” status is usually used by those who are permanently online (people who have broadband or an office connection) but aren’t always at their computer.

The benefits of fitness online training

                  Thanks to Internet you can now get into shape dressed in your pyjamas. By Lucy Atkins

Fitness experts these days generally agree that “natural exercise” is the answr to our unhealthy lifestyles. An activity such as stair- climbing or running for the bus, they say, gets the heart rate going for five or ten minutes, several times a day, without the boredom of going to a gym or jogging round the park.

But thanks to the Internet it is now at least theorically possible to get into great shape without even changing out of your pyjamas. The web is packed with creative, instant and varied excercises that are often avalablefree. Just start typing and watch the kilos disappear.

Joanna Hall is a fitness expert who has set up a walking club on the Internet. At her Walkative website, she promises that in six weeks you can achieve a 25% increase in fitness levels by following her activity programme based entirely on walking. “These days people are used to finding that what they need online,” she says.

 Perhaps the best way to deal with this problem is just to have a look around and see what’s out there

One click of your mouse can take you, for instance, straight into an aerobics, dance and yoga class, or introduce you to a variety of other lively activities. You can put together your own strength training programmes, concentrate on particularly week body parts or learn new ways of getting fit.

There are so many possibilities that you could spend the entire day sitting on your chair just surfing the websites and chatting with all these new friends you have made.

Quality, however, can be hardeer to find. Some sites try to attempt you into buying DVDs after they’ve started you off with free beginners” programmes.

 Sometimes the quality of the picture or the sound can be extremely poor.

You have to put up with advertisements that suddenly appear on the screen, and there is the annoying tendency of some computers suddenly to pause in the middle of an activity, then return to the the beginning of the video when you start clicking the mouse.

“ Online programmes allow you to fit your training times around other things you have to do, such as going to collge or work,´says Hall. “They can be a very effective and achievable way to exercise, something you can do all year round.” You can use them any time of the day or night, in an office, hotel room or at home. In addition, you do not have to

turn up at a gym or studio on time, wear embreassing clothing, or deal with  annoyingly fit people.

If a particular fitness programme doesn’t fit you, the website may suggest ways of adjusting it to your own needs. It should also, most importantly, offer advice on healthier living in general.

 Some sites will help you brig this about by providing charts showing how much change you can expect for a given amount of exercise. They may even encourage you to keep to your training programme by sending you regular emails, perhaps including a daily “fit tip”

All that is fine, but the trouble is that you do also need to have a certain amount of self-displine to ensure that you keep going once you have started.

There’s also the danger that family, friends or colleagues could some in and start laughing at you at any time. And there is a risk of injury if you don’t follow the more comples instructions ( though this issue arises with exercise DVDs and poorly taught classes too). Still, if you want a cheap, possibly fuuny and definitely varied ways to get fit, then sit back and surf.

A.     Once you manage to find a more worthwhile website, however, there are real advantages.

 

B.     Of course, it’s not easy to include exercise in your daily routine if you are lazy and spend all day sitting around at home.

C.     Best of all, you can do so with the support of in online community who have the same aims as you.

D.    Otherwise it’s just too easy to give up because you’ve paid nothing and nobody cares if you log

on to (or off) the website, or whether you acctually do any exercise at all.

 

E.    Others require a large joining fee in order to progress to more advanced activities.

 

F.    Good eating habits are essential for achieving this, particularly if you want your weight to decrease, or increase.

 

H.   True, but it can be hard to know exactly what that is when there is such an enormous range of

 

online choice.
