III. Read the following passage and do the tasks below: 

    Almost a hundred thousand people were killed and half a million homes destroyed as a result of an earthquake in Tokyo in 1923. The earthquake began a minute before noon when the inhabitants of Tokyo were cooking their midday meals. Thousands of stoves were overturned as soon as the earthquake began to shake. As a result, small fires broke out everywhere and quickly spread. The fire engines were prevented from going to help because many of the roads had cracked open. It was impossible to use firefighting equipment as most of the water pipes had burst. Consequently, over ninety percent of the damage was caused by fire rather than by collapse of the buildings. Most of those who died were not killed in the earthquake itself but in the fires which followed.

BEASTS IN PROFILE
Read the descriptions on the following page and draw each of the monsters in the boxes
next to them, or in your notebook:

Beast #1
The beast was as tall as an elephant. It was covered in thick, red fur. I was amazed that
its fur was red, such a bright red. Mesmerised, I caught sight of a tail as sharp as a blade. I gasped when I saw its long,
sharp fangs. They were like samurai swords. I took a deep breath to calm down,
but the beast smelled horrible - the odour
could fill up two classrooms! When it moved it was as fast as a cheetah that had
just drank coffee.
Beast #2
With each step it took the ground shook.
The beast had two heads of different colours, one white and the other black. I
shivered when I saw its differently coloured
eyes. One head had eyes as red as blood,
while those on the other were a menacing,
icy blue. It had black wings with white claws that were as sharp as knives. The creature’s wings were silky and soft. Its flowing tail was a flaming ball of red and blue fire. The wild thing’s red legs were covered in scales.
Beast #3
I looked closely at the three red beady
eyes, and the mouth dripping with lava. I
could not believe how big it was! It was the
size of a rocket, with six arms sprouting
from its body! I couldn’t help but stare at
the murderous look in its red eyes. The monster had razor sharp black teeth and its
fur was striped black and orange. The claws were as green as lettuce. Its fingernails, yellow as the sun. I caught glimpses of its fangs. They could slice your hand off in one bite! The smell of the beast’s breath almost killed my dog. It smelled like garbage mixed with rotten eggs. The monster’s tail had sharp spikes pointing straight up at the ceiling.
Beast #4
I couldn't believe the strange creature
standing before me. It was at least as big as
a city bus. A faint, delicate smell of roses
came from the beast. I heard a sound rise
from its throat, a cross between a squeak
and growl. The eyes were a burning red. A
forked tongue shot out from between small, white, razor sharp fangs. The beast darted around as fast as lightning, its pointed claws tearing through the ground. Its upper body was the colour of sweet honey, including its head which resembled that of a horse, although it moved, and slashed like a panther. Finally, I saw its tail! A silver, glowing snake.

A visit to the Ocean Center – by Rebecca Hardy, aged 13

My family and I went to the Ocean Center in my hometown recently. It was one of the most

amazing places I’ve ever been. We don’t live near the sea, so I don’t get much chance to see

living creatures for myself.

Inside the center you go on what they call an ocean journey. It takes you from the smallest

stream, through rivers, and out into the deepest ocean. Along the way you meet fish and other

creatures that live in these places. And there are thousands of them – some pretty and peaceful,

and others frightening and deadly.

Our guide told us that the Center was originally set up to help look after the seas and protect the

life within them. In fact, every entry ticket bought there helps the Center to achieve its aim, so I felt

my visit was in a good cause.

By chance, we arrived just at feeding time and watched staff give food to hundreds of fish. I

wanted to do it too, but the staff wouldn’t let me. But I’d still really recommend being there at

feeding time. You’ll see feeding times advertised at the ticket sales, or you can telephone in

advance to find out when they are.

The most fascinating part of the visit for me was a new exhibition at the Center that told the story

of seahorses across the world. It has the biggest collection for these magical creatures in Europe,

and almost as many as one in the USA. I found out about what they ate, and how a male

seahorse managed to give birth to 1500 babies! And although our guide told us it was hard to see

the young ones, we were lucky enough to catch sight of some in the tank!

We also went to one of the Center’s talks about the underwater world.

Ours was called ‘Sharks’,

and the one on the following day was called ‘Creatures of the Deep’. There are talks on other

topics given on different days, so it’s best to check which talk will take place on the day you go.

Once we’d bought our ticket, we could go in and out of the Center as many times as we liked

during the day. We can also buy an annual pass that gives you unlimited entry all year around. I’m

saving up for one!

For questions 1 – 5, circle A, if the sentence is correct, or B, if the sentence is incorrect.

For questions 6 – 10, answer the questions. Use your own words.

1. Rebecca hardy’s home is close to the coast.

2. At the Ocean Center, you can see fish from both seas and rivers.

3. All the creatures that are on display at the Center aren’t dangerous.

4. The admission fee for the center goes to environmental projects.

5. Rebecca was allowed to feed the fish at the Center.

6. Rebecca had to book in advance to see the fish at their feeding time.

7. The Ocen Centre has the largest collection of seahorses in the world.

8. Rebecca was pleased that she was able to see baby seahorses in the exhibition.

9. Each day, the Centre holds lots of talks on different topics.

10. Rebecca found she could leave and return to the Centre during her visit without paying again.

Why failure isn't always a bad thing

It’s often said we’re more risk-averse nowadays, more cautious, more careful not to fail. This is especially noticeable in both the workplace and in education, where the emphasis is on achieving good results, rather than on learning and becoming wiser. In fact, this attitude is so pervasive that many of us have become frightened of ever failing. Is this a healthy attitude? Research in both business and education suggests not.

In a study carried out at Bilkent University in Turkey and Ghent University in Belgium, Aikaterini Michou and colleagues questioned more than 1,000 high school and university students about their motivation to learn and the learning strategies they used. The students who were afraid to fail were more cautious, more likely to set goals that allowed them to feel better about themselves, rather than to pursue new interests or enhance personal development. They were also less likely to use the most effective learning strategies.

Joachim Brunstein and Peter Gollwitzer at the Universities of Erlangen and Konstanz in Germany conducted an experiment where they told a group of young adults they’d failed on the first of two tasks (irrespective of actual test scores). Those who’d been told the task was a test of their competence and promise in their chosen field – either medicine or computer science – were more likely to do better on the second task than were those who were told the initial task was irrelevant to their future career. It seems that when an individual fails in an area that’s important to them, that failure can become a motivator, rather than a deterrent.

Tại sao thất bại không phải luôn luôn là một điều xấu
Người ta thường nói rằng chúng ta ngày càng có nhiều rủi ro hơn, thận trọng hơn, cẩn thận hơn để không thất bại. Điều này đặc biệt đáng chú ý ở cả nơi làm việc và trong lĩnh vực giáo dục, trong đó nhấn mạnh đến việc đạt được kết quả tốt hơn là học tập và trở nên khôn ngoan hơn. Trên thực tế, thái độ này rất phổ biến đến mức nhiều người trong chúng ta đã sợ hãi đến mức nào. Đây có phải là một thái độ lành mạnh? Nghiên cứu cả về kinh doanh và giáo dục đều cho thấy.

Trong một nghiên cứu được thực hiện tại Đại học Bilkent ở Thổ Nhĩ Kỳ và Đại học Ghent ở Bỉ, Aikaterini Michou và các cộng sự đã thẩm vấn hơn 1.000 sinh viên trường trung học và cao đẳng về động lực học hỏi và các chiến lược học tập mà họ sử dụng. Những sinh viên sợ không thành công thì thận trọng hơn, có nhiều khả năng đặt ra các mục tiêu cho phép họ cảm thấy tốt hơn về bản thân, hơn là theo đuổi các mối quan tâm mới hoặc tăng cường sự phát triển cá nhân. Họ cũng ít có khả năng sử dụng các chiến lược học tập hiệu quả nhất.

Joachim Brunstein và Peter Gollwitzer tại các trường đại học Erlangen và Konstanz ở Đức tiến hành một thí nghiệm, nơi họ nói với một nhóm người lớn trẻ họ đã thất bại trong lần đầu tiên trong hai nhiệm vụ (không phân biệt điểm kiểm tra thực tế). Những người được cho biết nhiệm vụ là một thử nghiệm về năng lực của họ và hứa hẹn trong lĩnh vực được lựa chọn của họ - hoặc là y khoa hoặc khoa học máy tính - có nhiều khả năng làm tốt hơn nhiệm vụ thứ hai hơn là những người được cho biết nhiệm vụ ban đầu là không liên quan đến sự nghiệp tương lai. Dường như khi một cá nhân thất bại trong một lĩnh vực quan trọng đối với họ, thất bại đó có thể trở thành động lực thúc đẩy chứ không phải là một động lực.
