The next important date in the history of photography was 1837 That year, Daguerre, anotherFrenchman, took a picture of his studio He used a new kind of camera and a different process In hispictures, you could see everything clearly, even the smallest details This kind of photograph was called

equipment However, this did not stop photographers, especially in the United States After 1840,

daguerreotype artists were popular in most cities

Matthew Brady was one well-known American photographer He took many portraits of famous

people The portraits were unusual because they were lifelike and full of personality Brady was also

the first person to take pictures of a war His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers

and ruined cities They made the war seem more real and more terrible.

In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography Photographers could buy film made in rolls, instead of having to make the film themselves Also, they did not have to process the filmimmediately They could bring it back to their studios and develop it later They did not have to carry

"snapshots"

Documentary photographs became popular in newspapers in the 1890s Soon magazines and booksalso used them These pictures showed true events and people They were much more real thandrawings

Gender (in) equality concerns both women and men and has a strong impact on their daily lives.Historically gender equality policies have been contextualized mainly as a "women's issue" - as womenhave been a driving force behind gender equality strategies and struggles

This view has contributed to the perception that women are the only ones who will benefit from a

more equal society In reality, also men benefit from gender equality as they too face gender-specificissues such as lower life expectancy, bad health, lower education levels and rigid gender norms It isessential that both women and men are aware of the benefits that gender equality brings to them asindividuals and as members of communities and societies It is also true that we can equality onlysucceed through the participation of both women and men.

Therefore it is important to engage more men in standing for gender equality for this is the way to

bring about change To do that it is also necessary to make men understand how gender equality isrelevant for them

Considering that within the gender equality discourse men are under - represented (they are lesslikely to participate in events and projects related to gender equality) It is suggested that men as have

Volunteering offers many of the same social benefits, with the added bonus of helping others and

developing useful skills to put on your cv Plus, students are in a unique position to help, suggests Tom

Fox "They can take their enthusiasm and excitement for opportunities and share their passions, subjectknowledge and experience with people." The idea of giving up time for nothing might seem impractical

at first, especially once the pressures of study and coursework or exams begin to mount up However,Michelle Wright, CEO of charity support organization Cause4, suggests seeing volunteering as a two-way street "I think it is fine for undergraduates to approach volunteering as a symbiotic relationshipwhere doing good is just one part of the motivation for reaching personal and professional goals.”

Katerina Rudiger, head of skills and policy campaigns at the Chartered Institute of Personnel and

Development (CIPD), says: “Volunteering can be a valuable way of gaining that experience, as well as

building confidence, broadening your horizons, becoming a better team player and developing thoseall-important 'employability skills' such as communication and decision making." Amanda Haig,graduate HR manager, agrees that volunteering can help your employment prospects "Volunteeringcan demonstrate positive personality traits and skill sets, such as proactivity, and teamwork," she says

A positive side-effect of volunteering is improving your time at university by getting involved in the

local community Leaving the student bubble can make your time as an undergraduate much more

varied At Bath Spa University, more than 1,000 students volunteered over the past year, doing

everything from working on local environmental projects to helping in schools or assisting the elderly

"Quite often there can be a divide between students and permanent residents,” says students' union

president Amy Dawson, "but if students invest a little time now, they will be giving something back to

the local community and will reap the benefits in the future."

"You might also find that volunteering helps your studies if you choose the right program At Lancaster,volunteering is linked into academic modules in some cases” explains Fox "This has multiple wins.Students get to apply their learning in the classroom and share their interests with children in localschools or community organizations, while schools gain skilled students with a passion for a subject

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a broadly-used term which can cover the production of cars, cupcakes orcomputers Its use as a blanket term disguises how important it is to be clear about AI’s purpose

Purpose impacts the choice of technology, how it is measured and the ethics of its application.

At its root, AI is based on different meta-level purposes As the overall definition of AI can vary, sodoes its purpose at an applied level From the analysis of Jen Hyatt, founder and chief executive officer of

a British information technology company, there are at least eight types of purpose within appliedconversational AI: to sell, to inform, to learn, to connect, to entertain, to manage, to identify and tochange

Currently, the most common purpose of conversational AI is transactional (to sell) According to a

2017 Statista report, the public views chatbots- an AI which conducts a conversation via auditory or

Trang 12

textual methods- as primarily for more immediate, personalized and simple interaction with theirchosen brands The report also suggested that it is easier to track the outcomes for some purposes thanothers Instant responses and answers to simple questions as the essential consumer outcomes forchatbots in the customer services field are easier to follow than diagnostic or behavioural purposes

which often require more rigorous scientific approaches.

The long-term winners in the conversational AI space will be those who can demonstrate meaningfuluse and beneficial outcomes that stem directly from the purpose of their systems Purpose-relatedoutcomes, beyond those applied to transactional conversational AI, are the best driver of successfulbusiness models

The cities in the United States have been the most visible sponsors and beneficiaries of projects that

place art in public places They have shown exceptional imagination in applying the diverse forms of

contemporary art to a wide variety of purposes The activities observed in a number of “pioneer” citiessponsoring art in public places - a broadening exploration of public sites, an increasing awarenessamong both sponsors and the public of the varieties of contemporary artistic practice, and a growingpublic enthusiasm - are increasingly characteristic of cities across the country With many cities nowundergoing renewed development, opportunities are continuously emerging for the inclusion or art innew or renewed public environments, including buildings, plazas, parks, and transportation facilities.The result of these activities is a group of artworks that reflect the diversity of contemporary art and thevarying character and goals of the sponsoring communities

In sculpture, the projects range from a cartoonlike Mermaid in Miami Beach by Roy Lichtenstein to asmall forest planted in New York City by Alan Sonfist The use of murals followed quickly upon the use

of sculpture and has brought to public sites the work of artists as different as the realist Thomas HartBenton and the Pop artist Robert Rauschenberg The specialized requirements of particular urbansituations have further expanded the use of art in public places: in Memphis, sculptor Richard Hunt hascreated a monument to Martin Luther King, Jr., who was slain there; in New York, Dan Flavin and BillBrand have contributed neon and animation works to the enhancement of mass transit facilities And in

numerous cities, art is being raised as a symbol of the commitment to revitalize urban areas.

By continuing to sponsor projects involving a growing body of art in public places, cities will certainlyenlarge the situations in which the public encounters and grows familiar with the various forms ofcontemporary art Indeed, cities are providing artists with an opportunity to communicate with a newand broader audience Artists are recognizing the distinction between public and private spaces, and

taking that into account when executing their public commissions They are working in new, often more

durable media, and on an unaccustomed scale

Tidal energy is produced by the surge of ocean waters during the rise and fall of tides Tidal energy

is a renewable source of energy

During the 20th century, engineers developed ways to use tidal movement to generate electricity

in areas where there is a significant tidal range—the difference in area between high tide and low tide.All methods use special generators to convert tidal energy into electricity

Tidal energy production is still in its infancy The amount of power produced so far has been

small There are very few commercial-sized tidal power plants operating in the world The first waslocated in La Rance, France The largest facility is the Sihwa Lake Tidal Power Station in South Korea

Trang 15

The United States has no tidal plants and only a few sites where tidal energy could be produced at areasonable price China, France, England, Canada, and Russia have much more potential to use this type

of energy

In the United States, there are legal concerns about underwater land ownership andenvironmental impact Investors are not enthusiastic about tidal energy because there is not a strongguarantee that it will make money or benefit consumers Engineers are working to improve the

technology of tidal energy generators to increase the amount of energy they produce, to decrease their

impact on the environment, and to find a way to earn a profit for energy companies

There is a close connection between microbes and humans Experts believe about half of all humanDNA originated from viruses that infected and embedded their nucleic acid in our ancestors’ egg andsperm cells

Microbes occupy all of our body surfaces, including the skin, gut, and mucous membranes In fact, ourbodies contain at least 10 times more bacterial cells than human ones, blurring the line between wheremicrobes end and humans begin Microbes in the human gastrointestinal tract alone comprise at least

10 trillion organisms, representing more than 1,000 species, which are thought to prevent the gut from

being colonized by disease-causing organisms Among their other beneficial roles, microbes synthesize

vitamins, break down food into absorbable nutrients, and stimulate our immune systems

Trang 17

The vast majority of microbes establish themselves as persistent “colonists,” thriving in complex

communities within and on our bodies In many cases, the microbes derive benefits without harming us;

in other cases, both host and microbe benefit

And though some microbes make us sick and even kill us, in the long run they have a shared interest inour survival For these tiny invaders, a dead host is a dead end

The success of microorganisms is due to their remarkable adaptability Through natural selection,organisms that are genetically better suited to their surroundings have more offspring and transmit their

desirable traits to future generations This process operates far more efficiently in the microbial world than

in people Humans produce a new generation every 20 years or so; bacteria do it every 20 to 30 minutes,and viruses even faster Because they reproduce so quickly, microorganisms can assemble in enormousnumbers with great variety in their communities If their environment suddenly changes, the community’sgenetic variations make it more likely that some will survive This gives microbes a huge advantage overhumans when it comes to adapting for survival

(Adapted from: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/)

Question 42: Which is the most suitable title for the passage?

C The Functions of Microbes D How Fast Do Microbes Reproduce?

Question 43: According to paragraph 2, what is the function of microbes related to our gut?

A They occupy and protect all of our body surfaces.

B They control the number of bacterial cells in our body

C They protect our gut from being harmed by disease-causing organisms.

D They break down vitamins so that the body can use.

Question 44: The word “their” in paragraph 2 refers to .

Question 45: The word "majority" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to .

Question 46: According to the passage, what helps microbes survive when their environment suddenly

changes?

A Humans’ long reproduction time B Fast reproduction time of viruses

C Their community’s genetic variations D The huge advantage taken from humans Question 47: The word “desirable” in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to .

preferable

Question 48: Which statement is TRUE, according to the passage?

A All microbes derive benefits by harming us.

B The host’s survival has the critical importance to microbes.

C Microorganisms cannot transmit their traits to future generations.

D Bacteria produce a new generation faster than viruses.

Market research analysts help companies figure out what to sell, who will buy their products andservices, and how to promote them They design surveys that are used to help discover potential

customers' preferences These marketing professionals then train and supervise interviewers who

conduct these surveys online, by telephone, or through interviews with individuals or focus groups

In addition to taking surveys, market research analysts are responsible for keeping track of clientindustry trends and general marketing trends, as well as forecasting these markets to providecompanies with proposals and information of the products, services, promotions and all relevant data tohelp management in their marketing decisions

There are now new tools that analysts can use, such as geofencing, which uses GPS or similar technology

to build a virtual fence around a business and offer targeted advertisements to a customer’s phone as he

or she walks through a store Eye-tracking, which monitors how your eye travels around a website, isanother technology market research analysts use

The process of collecting and analysing data is logical and quantifiable; figuring out why target

audiences might be attracted to a particular product is not This is why some of the most successful

market analysts seem to understand human emotions and psychology as much as they understand logic
