Part 3: Read the article about a health problem. Choose the answer (A, B, C or D) that fits best according to the text. Write your answer in the corresponding numbered boxes provided. (1.6 points)
In the beginning, I put it down to a simple case of exam nerves. My daughter Sarah had just turned sixteen and was studying hard for her GCSEs, I knew she'd do well, as she was top of the class in all her subjects at school and had always been a high achiever. But as the time for the exams drew nearer, her behaviour started to change drastically.
Sarah became sullen and withdrawn. She wasn’t the lively teenager I knew. But the most worrying thing of all was that she was hardly eating anything. She refused to eat with the rest of the family and was having only light snacks in her room. At the time I didn't want to make a big deal of it, as I thought I’d just make her more anxious about her exams. I was convinced that once she’d taken the exams, she would soon settle down and everything would get back to normal.
But it didn’t. In fact, it got worse. By the middle of the summer, Sarah had become very skinny and pale. She also had wild mood swings, bursting into tears or becoming enraged by the slightest thing. I should say at this point that my initial reactions to this situation weren’t very helpful. We had huge fights about her being too thin and I tried to persuade her to eat more, but she just turned her nose up at everything I offered her. When nothing I said or did seemed to make any difference, I really felt at a complete loss about what else I could do or who I could turn to. I was desperate. After a lot of thought I realised that I would have to try other tactics. Screaming and tearing my hair out were definitely not improving the situation.
I started by looking up eating disorders on various websites, to get as much information as I could, and what I found out almost scared me to death. Anorexia nervosa is a condition that typically affects teenage girls. There are a variety of reasons as to why it can develop, but it is usually said to be because of a distorted body image and lack of self-esteem. Some young women think they are too fat, even when they are not, and feel that they are unattractive or worthless. The media have been accused of playing a role in the rise of eating disorders in recent years, because of the way they portray women. Using underweight models in adverts in glossy magazines and on television may be a factor in encouraging young women to equate thinness with beauty, glamour and success.
I was shocked to discover that this disease can seriously damage the heart and make bones brittle and easy to break. However, the most frightening aspect of the condition is that in 10% of cases it leads to the death of the sufferer. The information was terrifying, but it helped me to come to terms with the fact that someone with a severe eating disorder needs love and support and urgent medical attention.
It took a lot of calm and gentle persuasion to get my tearful daughter to agree to go with me to a doctor who specialises in eating disorders. That was two years ago and the road to recovery has been long and hard. Sarah spent two months in hospital to get her weight back to normal and since then she has been seeing a psychiatrist to help her deal with the underlying causes of the problem.
It was tough for me, too. I felt very guilty about her illness - that somehow it was my fault, and I was a bad mother who had caused her daughter so much anxiety she had started to starve herself. But we’ve managed to get through it together. Now Sarah is looking forward to starting university, the colour has returned to her cheeks and she is back to being the vibrant young woman she was before the whole dreadful nightmare started.
1. At first, the writer believed her daughter’s behaviour had changed because Sarah___________
A. was worried about academic success. B. had always been very intelligent.
C. was having problems at school. D. had just turned sixteen.
2. When the writer noticed that Sarah was not eating, she___________
A. thought that this was normal. B. decided not to make a fuss about it.
C. was sure it would get worse. D. made Sarah eat her meals alone.
3. The writer says that during the summer ___________
A. her daughter began to get better. B. she continued to remain calm.
C. she and Sarah argued a lot. D. she and Sarah stopped speaking.
4. Where did the writer find out more about her daughter’s problem?
A. on television B. in magazines
C. in advertisements D. on the Internet
5. What alarmed the writer the most about her daughter’s problem?
A. It could cause heart problems. B. it weakens bone tissue.
C. It can sometimes be fatal, D. Sarah would need treatment.
6. Getting Sarah to seek professional help___________
A. took several years. B. required patience,
C. was quite easy to do. D. led to instant recovery.
7. The writer felt guilty because___________
A. she felt she wasn’t a good mother, B. she knew the condition was all her fault.
C. she had been too tough on her daughter, D. her daughter was never the same again.
8. How did the writer’s attitude change during the time of the events?
A. She felt rejected by her daughter. B. She became more aware about the problem.
C. She realised the situation was hopeless. D. She started to appreciate Sarah more

Part 4: You are going to read an article about winter sport in Scotland. Six sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A-G the one which fits each gap 1-6. (1.2 points)
HOPE AND SADNESS
There's often a sense of the hopeless romantic associated with those who trek to the Highlands in search (more in hope than expectation) of the white stuff. More often than not, these ski and snowboard fanatics are met with disappointment. Either a thaw has set in and the rocks are visible or it's a total whiteout as gales blow and blizzards blast the poor expectant hopefuls. The Highlands, you see, is a tale of extremes; it's all or nothing up there.
(1) ________________ . But those patient folk - those old romantics whose sense of loyalty and optimism seems to know no bounds - are having the last laugh this winter. Picture this: fresh powder everywhere; 180cm of accumulated snow at the base of the resort; more falls forecast for later in the week; clear blue skies and a blazing sun. No, this isn't some upmarket French alpine retreat full of five-star chalets and bulging wallets. This is humble little Cairngorm, pride of Scotland. This is real, old-style skiing without the gloss. There's an infectious passion and enthusiasm here today. (2) ________________ .
Despite all the talk of global warming spelling the end for Scotland's long-suffering winter sport industry, Cairngorm and its four sister resorts; the Lecht, Glenshee, Glencoe and the Nevis Range aren't about to go down without a fight. And, finally, nature has lent them a helping hand. As I am about to hop onto the chairlift, I can't resist the urge to pause and admire the scene around me; the Highlands at its best.
(3) ________________ . Back then, these slopes were crowded with thousands of skiers all season long; full to capacity - just as they are once again today. The cafes are overflowing with people enjoying their apres ski. You can see skiers of all sorts; beginners, wannabes and the real deal - the masters - don't get in their way! And all of them have one thing in common. They are all wearing big smiles on their faces.
If this is a freak winter, as the Meteorology Office would have us believe, and all the snow will have gone in a few years, then I am saddened. (4) ________________ . And on the rare occasions when the snow base left us wanting, we'd pull out the sled and toboggan to our little hearts' content. Sure they'd take a battering on the rocks and stones, but those wooden sleds could handle it - they were tough! And I'm angered by the idea that my kids won't get to enjoy the same innocent sense of delight that I once did. (5)________________ . It isn't fair.
So instead of booking that package deal to Europe this winter, come home to Scotland; do your pocket and the planet a favour. Why waste money on expensive flights that will only add to our environmental woes? They're not Les Trois Vallees; they're not Courcheval; some would say they're not even close, but Scotland's small ensemble of ski resorts have had a bumper season, so don't be too quick to write them off. There's life in the old dog yet! He just needs your help.
(6) ________________ .Well, I guess I'm one of them. And I hope that the Highlands continue to defy the odds and that nature confounds us all and brings a little joy to our children's hearts for many a winter to come. Snow, bonnie Scotland! Snow right up to the start of May! I'll be here waiting when you do.
(Source: FCE Practice Test 7)
A. The more we begin to feel the effects of global warming, the more it seems to be nothing instead of all.
B. Why have we wrecked this planet for future generations?
C. It's like going back in time to the glory days of the 1960s and 70s.
D. These people have waited a long time!
E. All of my happiest memories of winters growing up as a child were spent flying down the slopes.
F. Do you remember those hopeless romantics I described before?
G. But sadly there isn't the snow base to satisfy their passion or desire.

The Australian Young Photographers' Competition
Every year the Australian Young Photographers' Association organises a photography competition for young people. Later this year the organization will be 30 years old. If you win, you will go on a trip for two (you and a parent or another adult in your family) to the rainforest in Borneo! We are looking for photographs that show either Australia's amazing wildlife - its birds, snakes, animals or insects - or its dramatic landscapes: its open spaces, rainforests, rivers and beautiful cities. A photograph can show so much more about a country than a written description. So send us one which explains what Australia means to you. Any photograph which has already been a competition winner should not be entered.
To enter, go online at www.youngphotographers.au/competition and upload your photograph using the form provided. Each entry must include your name, date of birth, an email address and a daytime contact phone number. If you are 14 years of age or under, you need to provide us with the email address of a responsible adult. If you are 15 years-old or over, you can use your own email address. If you prefer, you can print the form and send us your photograph by post. The competition opens at midnight on 1st February. The closing date for online entry is Monday 31st March. If you are one of our winners, you must agree to the organization using your name, photograph and/ or voice for an unlimited period of time, without payment, for advertising purposes. We will not tell you each time we do so.

Part 3: Read the article about a health problem. Choose the answer (A, B, C or D) that fits best according to the text. Write your answer in the corresponding numbered boxes provided. (1.6 points)
In the beginning, I put it down to a simple case of exam nerves. My daughter Sarah had just turned sixteen and was studying hard for her GCSEs, I knew she'd do well, as she was top of the class in all her subjects at school and had always been a high achiever. But as the time for the exams drew nearer, her behaviour started to change drastically.
Sarah became sullen and withdrawn. She wasn’t the lively teenager I knew. But the most worrying thing of all was that she was hardly eating anything. She refused to eat with the rest of the family and was having only light snacks in her room. At the time I didn't want to make a big deal of it, as I thought I’d just make her more anxious about her exams. I was convinced that once she’d taken the exams, she would soon settle down and everything would get back to normal.
But it didn’t. In fact, it got worse. By the middle of the summer, Sarah had become very skinny and pale. She also had wild mood swings, bursting into tears or becoming enraged by the slightest thing. I should say at this point that my initial reactions to this situation weren’t very helpful. We had huge fights about her being too thin and I tried to persuade her to eat more, but she just turned her nose up at everything I offered her. When nothing I said or did seemed to make any difference, I really felt at a complete loss about what else I could do or who I could turn to. I was desperate. After a lot of thought I realised that I would have to try other tactics. Screaming and tearing my hair out were definitely not improving the situation.
I started by looking up eating disorders on various websites, to get as much information as I could, and what I found out almost scared me to death. Anorexia nervosa is a condition that typically affects teenage girls. There are a variety of reasons as to why it can develop, but it is usually said to be because of a distorted body image and lack of self-esteem. Some young women think they are too fat, even when they are not, and feel that they are unattractive or worthless. The media have been accused of playing a role in the rise of eating disorders in recent years, because of the way they portray women. Using underweight models in adverts in glossy magazines and on television may be a factor in encouraging young women to equate thinness with beauty, glamour and success.
I was shocked to discover that this disease can seriously damage the heart and make bones brittle and easy to break. However, the most frightening aspect of the condition is that in 10% of cases it leads to the death of the sufferer. The information was terrifying, but it helped me to come to terms with the fact that someone with a severe eating disorder needs love and support and urgent medical attention.
It took a lot of calm and gentle persuasion to get my tearful daughter to agree to go with me to a doctor who specialises in eating disorders. That was two years ago and the road to recovery has been long and hard. Sarah spent two months in hospital to get her weight back to normal and since then she has been seeing a psychiatrist to help her deal with the underlying causes of the problem.
It was tough for me, too. I felt very guilty about her illness - that somehow it was my fault, and I was a bad mother who had caused her daughter so much anxiety she had started to starve herself. But we’ve managed to get through it together. Now Sarah is looking forward to starting university, the colour has returned to her cheeks and she is back to being the vibrant young woman she was before the whole dreadful nightmare started.
1. At first, the writer believed her daughter’s behaviour had changed because Sarah___________
A. was worried about academic success. B. had always been very intelligent.
C. was having problems at school. D. had just turned sixteen.
2. When the writer noticed that Sarah was not eating, she___________
A. thought that this was normal. B. decided not to make a fuss about it.
C. was sure it would get worse. D. made Sarah eat her meals alone.
3. The writer says that during the summer ___________
A. her daughter began to get better. B. she continued to remain calm.
C. she and Sarah argued a lot. D. she and Sarah stopped speaking.
4. Where did the writer find out more about her daughter’s problem?
A. on television B. in magazines
C. in advertisements D. on the Internet
5. What alarmed the writer the most about her daughter’s problem?
A. It could cause heart problems. B. it weakens bone tissue.
C. It can sometimes be fatal, D. Sarah would need treatment.
6. Getting Sarah to seek professional help___________
A. took several years. B. required patience,
C. was quite easy to do. D. led to instant recovery.
7. The writer felt guilty because___________
A. she felt she wasn’t a good mother, B. she knew the condition was all her fault.
C. she had been too tough on her daughter, D. her daughter was never the same again.
8. How did the writer’s attitude change during the time of the events?
A. She felt rejected by her daughter. B. She became more aware about the problem.
C. She realised the situation was hopeless. D. She started to appreciate Sarah more

Part 4: You are going to read an article about winter sport in Scotland. Six sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A-G the one which fits each gap 1-6. (1.2 points)
HOPE AND SADNESS
There's often a sense of the hopeless romantic associated with those who trek to the Highlands in search (more in hope than expectation) of the white stuff. More often than not, these ski and snowboard fanatics are met with disappointment. Either a thaw has set in and the rocks are visible or it's a total whiteout as gales blow and blizzards blast the poor expectant hopefuls. The Highlands, you see, is a tale of extremes; it's all or nothing up there.
(1) ________________ . But those patient folk - those old romantics whose sense of loyalty and optimism seems to know no bounds - are having the last laugh this winter. Picture this: fresh powder everywhere; 180cm of accumulated snow at the base of the resort; more falls forecast for later in the week; clear blue skies and a blazing sun. No, this isn't some upmarket French alpine retreat full of five-star chalets and bulging wallets. This is humble little Cairngorm, pride of Scotland. This is real, old-style skiing without the gloss. There's an infectious passion and enthusiasm here today. (2) ________________ .
Despite all the talk of global warming spelling the end for Scotland's long-suffering winter sport industry, Cairngorm and its four sister resorts; the Lecht, Glenshee, Glencoe and the Nevis Range aren't about to go down without a fight. And, finally, nature has lent them a helping hand. As I am about to hop onto the chairlift, I can't resist the urge to pause and admire the scene around me; the Highlands at its best.
(3) ________________ . Back then, these slopes were crowded with thousands of skiers all season long; full to capacity - just as they are once again today. The cafes are overflowing with people enjoying their apres ski. You can see skiers of all sorts; beginners, wannabes and the real deal - the masters - don't get in their way! And all of them have one thing in common. They are all wearing big smiles on their faces.
If this is a freak winter, as the Meteorology Office would have us believe, and all the snow will have gone in a few years, then I am saddened. (4) ________________ . And on the rare occasions when the snow base left us wanting, we'd pull out the sled and toboggan to our little hearts' content. Sure they'd take a battering on the rocks and stones, but those wooden sleds could handle it - they were tough! And I'm angered by the idea that my kids won't get to enjoy the same innocent sense of delight that I once did. (5)________________ . It isn't fair.
So instead of booking that package deal to Europe this winter, come home to Scotland; do your pocket and the planet a favour. Why waste money on expensive flights that will only add to our environmental woes? They're not Les Trois Vallees; they're not Courcheval; some would say they're not even close, but Scotland's small ensemble of ski resorts have had a bumper season, so don't be too quick to write them off. There's life in the old dog yet! He just needs your help.
(6) ________________ .Well, I guess I'm one of them. And I hope that the Highlands continue to defy the odds and that nature confounds us all and brings a little joy to our children's hearts for many a winter to come. Snow, bonnie Scotland! Snow right up to the start of May! I'll be here waiting when you do.

The Australian Young Photographers' Competition
Every year the Australian Young Photographers' Association organises a photography competition for young people. Later this year the organization will be 30 years old. If you win, you will go on a trip for two (you and a parent or another adult in your family) to the rainforest in Borneo! We are looking for photographs that show either Australia's amazing wildlife - its birds, snakes, animals or insects - or its dramatic landscapes: its open spaces, rainforests, rivers and beautiful cities. A photograph can show so much more about a country than a written description. So send us one which explains what Australia means to you. Any photograph which has already been a competition winner should not be entered.
To enter, go online at www.youngphotographers.au/competition and upload your photograph using the form provided. Each entry must include your name, date of birth, an email address and a daytime contact phone number. If you are 14 years of age or under, you need to provide us with the email address of a responsible adult. If you are 15 years-old or over, you can use your own email address. If you prefer, you can print the form and send us your photograph by post. The competition opens at midnight on 1st February. The closing date for online entry is Monday 31st March. If you are one of our winners, you must agree to the organization using your name, photograph and/ or voice for an unlimited period of time, without payment, for advertising purposes. We will not tell you each time we do so.
