Leading investors have joined the growing chorus o f concern about governments and companies rushing into producing biofuels as a solution for global warming, saying that many involved in the sector could be jeopardizing future profits if they do not consider the long-term impact of what they are doing carefully. It is essential to build sustainability criteria into the supply chain o f any green fuel project in order to ensure that there is no adverse effect on the surrounding environment and social structures. The report produced by the investors expresses concern that many companies may not be fully aware o f the potential or possible pitfalls in the biofuel sector. Production o f corn and soya beans has increased dramatically in the last years as an eco-friendly alternative tofossil fuels but environmental and human rights campaigners are worried that this will lead to destruction o f rain forests. Food prices could also go up as there is increased competition for crops as both foodstuffs and sources of fuel. Last week, the UN warned that biofuels could have dangerous side effects and said that steps need to be taken to make sure that land converted to grow biofuels does not damage the environment or cause civil unrest. There is already great concern about palm oil, which is used in many foods in addition to being an important biofuel, as rain forests are being cleared in some countries and people driven from their homes to create palm oil plantations. An analyst and author o f the investors' report says that biofuels are not a cure for climate change but they can play their part as long as governments and companies manage the social and environmental impacts thoroughly. There should also be greater'measure taken to increase efficiency and to reduce demand. 46. Who are worried about the boom in biofuels. A. Few people C. Some companies B. Many people D. Only the leading investors 17

Reality television is a genre o f television programming which, it is claimed, presents unscripted dramatic or humorous situations, documents actual events, and features ordinary people rather than professional actors. It could be described as a form of artificial or "heightened" documentary. Although the genre has existed in some form or another since the early years o f television, the current explosion o f popularity dates from around 2000. Reality television covers a wide range o f television programming formats, from game or quiz shows which resemble the frantic, often demeaning programmes produced in Japan in the 1980s and 1990s, to surveillance- or voyeurism- focused productions such as Big Brother. Critics say that the term "reality television" is somewhat o f a misnomer and that such shows frequently portray a modified and highly influenced form o f reality, with 18

Licensure Examination for Teachers - Reviewer participants put in exotic locations or abnormal situations, sometimes coached to act in certain ways by off-screen handlers, and with events on screen manipulated through editing and other post-production techniques. Part o f reality television's appeal is due to its ability to place ordinary people in extraordinary situations. For example, on the ABC show, The Bachelor, an eligible male dates a dozen women simultaneously, travelling on extraordinary dates to scenic locales. Reality television also has the potential to turn its participants into national celebrities, outwardly in talent and performance programs such as Pop Idol, though frequently Survivor and Big Brother participants also reach some degree o f celebrity. Some commentators have said that the name "reality television" is an inaccurate description for several styles of program included in the genre. In competition-based programs such as Big Brother and Survivor, and other special-living-environment shows like The Real World, the producers design the format o f the show and control the day-today activities and the environment, creating a completely fabricated world in which the competition plays out. Producers specifically select the participants, and use carefully designed scenarios, challenges, events, and settings to encourage particular behaviours and conflicts. Mark Burnett, creator o f Survivor and other reality shows, has agreed with this assessment, and avoids the word "reality" to describe his shows; he has said, "I tell good stories. It really is not reality TV. It really is unscripted drama." 52. Based on the article, reality television ... A. will always be popular. B. has been popular before 2000. C. has only been popular since 2000. D. will not be popular 53. Which o f the following is true about Reality TV and Japan? Japan A. produced Big Brother. , B. has produced demeaning TV shows. C. invented surveillance focused productions. D. will produce reality television program. 54. People have criticised reality television because... A. it uses exotic locations. C. the stories are funny. B. it shows reality. D. the name is vague. 55. Producers choose carefully the participants... A. to create conflict among other things. B. on the ground o f talent. C. to make a fabricated world. D. based on physical appearance and potentials.

The tw o, som etim es extreme, positions adopted by those who engage in it can be loosely described as, on the one hand, “traditional” and, on the other, “progressive.” The traditional position starts from the assum ption, taken to be so obvious as not to be open to question, that the purpose o f teaching is to ensure that those taught acquire a prescribed body o f know ledge and set o f values. Both know ledge and values are taken to reflect a society’s selection o f w hat it m ost w ants to transm it to its future citizens and requires its future workforce to be ab-le to do. An im portant characteristic o f this traditional view is that it seeks to convey w hat is already known and, at some level, approved. The relationship between teacher and learner is determ ined thereby. The learner is seen as the person w ho does not yet have the required knowledge or values and the teacher as the person who has both and w hose function it is to convey them to the learner. From the nature o f this relationship, a num ber o f things follow: the system atic transm ission o f know ledge and values from teacher to learner needs to proceed sm oothly. That requires w ell-behaved learners and a disciplined environm ent, if necessary externally imposed with sanctions for failures in com pliance. Teaching and learning also benefit from carefully designed syllabuses and prescribed curriculum content. Finally, so far as human m otivation is concerned, com petition is seen to be the predom inant way to encourage learners or institutions to strive to im prove their perform ance in relation to that o f others. The opposed view, broadly described as “ progressive” or “child-centered,” starts from the learner rather than from any predeterm ined body o f know ledge. On this view, the function o f the teacher, from parent in the earliest years right through the years o f school attendance, is to be aware o f each child’s capacity and stage o f developm ent. The prim ary im portance o f children’s learning, which in turn is taken to depend on that stage o f developm ent, requires each o f those stages to be seen as im portant in its own right rather than as a preparation for some later stage. The curriculum itself tends to be seen as open-ended and inquiry-based: “the curriculum is to be thought o f in term s o f activity and experience rather than o f know ledge to be acquired and facts to be stored” .
