To bring up children, many qualities are required. Apart from love, patience, and understanding, a
sense of humour is important. In fact, it is quite an art to transform a child's bad mood into
behaviour (34).......everyone in the family can live with. Another aspect of child rearing is teaching
children limits and rules so that children are aware of what their rights and what (35).......people's
are, too. Setting limits on children must occur on a duly (36)…..because temporary measures will
not be effective enough. A common mistake, however, is that parents often become far stricter than
necessary. Instead, they must be willing to allow their children the opportunity to explore and learn
from experience. Moreover, parents must know the importance of routine as it gets children to
become used to certain everyday activities. (37)......., eating at the same time as their parents gets
children into the habit of sitting at a table and teaches them how to (38).......themselves properly.
Overall, child rearing is certainly a challenge and a learning experience.

Have you ever tried playing the kind of video games that your parents played? Over the last few
years, the Museum of Science in Manchester has held an exhibition which invites visitors to do
exactly that. It offers them the chance to play games from the last 40 years, in various sessions
throughout the day.
These video games sessions have now become one of the main attractions of the museum. They
are full of people playing a wide range of games every day. However, visitors often choose the ones
they are familiar with. For example, parents will choose the games they used to play in their
childhood.
There's also an educational purpose to the games. For instance, some old types of computers,
dating back 40 years, are also available. They were originally employed in classrooms to teach
pupils to write their own computer programmes. Now, the museum is holding workshops
encouraging children to learn similar skills - and they're still very popular.
The sessions are also seen as social events, as people discover how much fun it is to play video
games with other family members. And there's also an area called Power Up! where a number of
visitors can enjoy playing the same game together.
However, through the exhibition, the organisers also aim to show that video gaming is an
important industry that employs many skilled people. People who enjoy gaming will also
understand all the hard work, talent, and imagination that go into creating these amazing games.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to each of
the questions from 44 to 50.
We often have stereotypical images of rockers as rebellious, classicalI music fans as quiet and
modest lovers of rap as loquacious and outgoing. But is it really true that our musical tastes reveal
our personality? According to recent researeh from a university in Edinburgh come on it is.
Professor North, one of the researehers, says that people often express their idendity through the
kind of music they listen to, the kind of clothes they wear and their hobbies and interests. So, it is
not surprising that people's tastes in music says something about their personality. The researchers
interviewed more than 36,000 participants from around the world, asked them about their musical
tastes, and gave them personality tests. But did the researeh prove that our stereotypical images are
right? Here are some of the results: (1) lovers of indie music are not very confident, gentle or hardworking, but they are very creative; (2) country and western fans are hard-working and not shy; (3)
rap fans are outgoing and confident; (4) fans of pop songs are not creative, but are hard-working,
gentle and outgoing; and (5) the best fans to be are soul fans, because they are creative, confident,
outgoing and gentle.
Perhaps the most surprising result was that classical music fans and heavy metal fans have very
similar personalities. People think of heavy metal fans as being very sad and unhappy. But like
classical fans, they are in fact easy-going and creative, and not very outgoing. Professor North also
says that the results explain why so many people are good friends with people who like the same
music. Heavy metal fans in Sweden have more in common with heavy metal fans in Brazil than
with, say, Swedish fans of pop.
The results also explain that, since music is likely to be closely connected to our personalities,
some of us are very passionate about what we listen to. However, the researeh does not say what
people who listen to lots of different types of music are like. Perhaps they are perfectly balanced.
So, what does your music say about you?
