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 from 30 to 34
Almost everybody has had acne Acne, also known as pimples or zits, is a normal part of growing up When kids reach puberty, their bodies experience many changes As the levels of hormones in teenagers’ bodies change, teenagers frequently develop pimples Additionally, many people continue to have pimples after puberty What can a teenager or an adult do to cure pimples? Unfortunately, many cures people think will work on pimples are really just myths
Many people believe that popping pimples is the best way to get rid of them Popping a pimple will actually push the germs further under the skin, which can cause more redness and pain, or even turn into
an infection For that reason, doctors who specialize in skin problems normally encourage people not to pop their pimples
Also, do you think that washing your face frequently will help get rid of pimples? Of course, washing your face is a good idea, but washing your face too much could irritate the skin more, making the pimples even worse
Another widely believed myth is that not wearing makeup can help reduce a person’s chance of developing pimples In fact, some kinds of makeup or face creams actually have special medicine in them
to fight pimples As a result, not all of them are bad for you
Along with makeup, people claim that eating fatty foods or chocolate can cause acne The truth is that eating a candy bar or a piece of pizza will not cause pimples Even so, both teenagers and adults should still try to eat foods that are good for their bodies and their skin
Another myth is that stress can cause acne Stress comes in many forms, like a big exam at school or problems with friends While it is true that stress can cause a person’s skin to create extra oil, this extra oil does not necessarily cause more pimples
(Adapted from Reading Challenge 2 - Casey Malarcher & Andrea Janzen)

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 from 35 to 42
When living and working in another country, there are numerous things to consider apart from the more obvious ones of climate, language, religion, currency, etc Some important considerations are less obvious For example, do you have a pet or do you enjoy a hobby such as horse riding? Your animal or hobby may be perceived in a completely different light in another culture so it’s important to consider the significance given to specific animals in different parts of the world and general perceptions towards them One example which is often mentioned in popular press is the case of dogs In some cultures, like the US
or UK, dogs are loved and considered a great pet to have at home and with the family In other cultures, such as those where Islam is the majority religion, dogs may be perceived as dirty or dangerous Muslims treatment of dogs is still a matter of debate amongst Islamic scholars While these animals are widely considered by many Western cultures to be “man’s best friend”, the Koran describes them as
“unhygienic” Muslims will therefore avoid touching a dog unless he can wash his hands immediately
afterwards, and they will almost never keep a dog in their home
In Iran, for instance, a cleric once denounced “the moral depravity” of dog owners and even demanded their arrest If you are an international assignee living and working in Saudi Arabia or another Arabic
country, you should remember this when inviting Arab counterparts to your house in case you have a dog
as a pet This is just one example of how Islam and other cultural beliefs can impact on aspects of everyday life that someone else may not even question A Middle Eastern man might be very surprised when going
to Japan, for instance, and seeing dogs being dressed and pampered like humans and carried around in
baby prams!
Dogs are not the only animals which are perceived quite differently from one culture to another In India, for example, cows are sacred and are treated with the utmost respect Conversely in Argentina, beef
is a symbol of national pride because of its tradition and the high quality of its cuts An Indian working in Argentina who has not done his research or participated in a cross cultural training program such as Doing Business in Argentina may be surprised at his first welcome dinner with his Argentinean counterparts where a main dish of beef would be served
It is therefore crucial to be aware of the specific values assigned to objects or animals in different cultures to avoid faux-pas or cultural misunderstandings, particularly when living and working in another culture Learning how people value animals and other symbols around the world is one of the numerous cultural examples discussed in Communicaid’s intercultural training courses Understanding how your international colleagues may perceive certain animals can help you ensure you aren’t insensitive and it may even provide you with a good topic for conversation
