Thousands of books have written on the conflict between parents and teenagers. Psychologists and sociologists
have spent years to try to understand the reasons for the tension and endless arguments between these two
groups.
A close look at these arguments often reveals that the reasons are so trivial that we may wonder how the tears
and shouts have all been about. Most arguments are not about major issues like the nuclear bomb or the
ecological problems of the universe. The fights are usually about simply matters such as food, clothes, the
weekly allowance or the telephone.
Let's take an ordinary day and examine what happens. Problems start around 7 a.m. It is then when parents
expect their children to get up, get dressed, eat and go to school. Parents and alarm clocks seem like the enemy
of mankind at that early hour. Some parents even expect the "poor" youngsters to tidy up their room and put
everything in its place before leave for school - a ridiculous demand - in the eyes of the "victims". In the
afternoon, parents want them to do homework and study hard.
They resent their children's endless conversations on the phone. In the evening, they complain about the
clothes and jewelry the teenagers wear and preach for hours about the dangers on the road and the need to be
home by midnight in the latest, like Cinderella

Part 3. (20 pts) Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Write your answers A, B, C or D in the corresponding numbered boxes provided. Personality
and health
There is increasing evidence that health is linked to personality. However, until now, the relationship has not
affected the way health care is delivered. There are several reasons for this. Some health workers doubt whether
there is a direct link between health and personality or whether it's just a coincidence. Some feel it is their
professional duty to treat all patients in the same way. Others argue that delivering health services according to
patients' personalities will have minimal impact and therefore isn't worth the effort. However, some
psychologists believe that applying different procedures to people with different personalities could have a
significant, positive effect on health.
lOMoARcPSD| 58448089
Research into personality has, in recent years, focused on the Big Five model of personality types. This model
measures how neurotic, extrovert, open to experience, agreeable and conscientious a person is. Some of these
personality types have been studied in relation to health. For example, conscientious people tend to be less
likely to smoke, drink too much alcohol or be inactive. However, in other cases, the relationship is less clear.
Neurotic behaviour, for instance, has been found in some studies to increase the risk of death, in others to
protect people from illness and in others to have no link to health at all.
Even so, if health workers applied an understanding of personality to the services they provide, they could
influence the extent to which patients act on advice and follow their treatment. For example, high sensation-
seeking individuals, who are extroverts and unconscientious in the Big Five model and tend to take part in risky
activities, respond to drama, energy and emotion. Thus, to encourage those people to follow health advice,
health promotions can be designed to incorporate those factors. An example of this was the campaign SENTAR
which aimed to reduce cannabis use among high sensation-seeking teenagers. By creating asuitable television
advert, they successfully engaged these youths and reduced their recreational drug use. Of course, this
approach isn't always possible. It is often impractical and expensive to create several versions of a campaign
to reach different personality types. However, recent developments in computer technology, cookies and
targeted advertising may allow this approach to be used more in future.
Personality could also be considered when sending messages, information and guidance to specific patients.
Already, health information is usually available in various forms-printed, digital, audio, and so on - to be
suitable and accessible for different users, such as the blind, the elderly, and people with reading difficulties.
Research has also shown that, by identifying different patients' motivations for treatment and then
corresponding with them in a way that reflects their motivations, patients will become more involved in their
treatment, compared to when the same messages are sent to everyone. Correspondence could, therefore, be
adapted to reflect patients' personality type, too. For example, less conscientious people could be sent phone
reminders to attend appointments. So far, there has been very little research into the effectiveness of tailoring
health guidance according to personality, so this area deserves further study.
Until now, the focus of personality -- health research has been to explore the link between personality and
health and has had very little practical application. Thus, health workers have not engaged deeply with it.
However, by suggesting, trialing and implementing practices to engage patients with different personalities,
the relationship between psychology researchers and health workers could improve, along with the health of
the general public.

lOMoARcPSD| 58448089
Follow your nose
A. Aromatherapy is the most widely used complementary therapy in the National Health Service, and
doctors use it most often for treating dementia. For elderly patients who have difficulty interacting verbally,
and to whom conventional medicine has little to offer, aromatherapy can bring benefits in terms of better sleep,
improved motivation, and less disturbed behaviour. So the thinking goes. But last year, a systematic review of
health care databases found almost no evidence that aromatherapy is effective in the treatment of dementia.
Other findings suggest that aromatherapy works only if you believe it will. In fact, the only research that has
unequivocally shown it to have an effect has been carried out on animals.
B. Behavioural studies have consistently shown that odours elicit emotional memories far more readily
than other sensory cues. And earlier this year, Rachel Herz, of Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island,
and colleagues peered into people's heads using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to corroborate
that. They scanned the brains of five women while they either looked at a photo of a bottle of perfume that
evoked a pleasant memory for them, or smelled that perfume. One woman, for instance, remembered how as
a child living in Paris - she would watch with excitement as her mother dressed to go out and sprayed herself
with that perfume. The women themselves described the perfume as far more evocative than the photo, and
Herz and co-workers found that the scent did indeed activate the amygdala and other brain regions associated
with emotion processing far more strongly than the photograph. But the interesting thing was that the memory
itself was no better recalled by the odour than by the picture. "People don't remember any more detail or with
any more clarity when the memory is recalled with an odour," she says. "However, with the odour, you have
this intense emotional feeling that's really visceral."
C. That's hardly surprising, Herz thinks, given how the brain has evolved. "The way I like to think about
it is that emotion and olfaction are essentially the same things," she says. "The part of the brain that controls
emotion literally grew out of the part of the brain that controls smell." That, she says, probably explains why
memories for odours that are associated with intense emotions are so strongly entrenched in us, because the
smell was initially a survival skill: a signal to approach or to avoid.
D. Eric Vermetten, a psychiatrist at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands, says that doctors have
long known about the potential of smells to act as traumatic reminders, but the evidence has been largely
anecdotal. Last year, he and others set out to document it by describing three cases of post-traumatic stress
disorder (PTSD) in which patients reported either that a certain smell triggered their flashbacks, or that smell
was a feature of the flashback itself. The researchers concluded that odours could be made use of in exposure
therapy, or for reconditioning patients' fear responses.
E. After Vermetten presented his findings at a conference, doctors in the audience told him how they had
turned this association around and put it to good use. PTSD patients often undergo group therapy, but the
therapy itself can expose them to traumatic reminders. "Some clinicians put a strip of vanilla or a strong.
pleasant, everyday odorant such as coffee under their patients' noses, so that they have this continuous olfactory
stimulation," says Vermetten. So armed, the patients seem to be better protected against flashbacks. It's purely
anecdotal, and nobody knows what's happening in the brain, says Vermetten, but it's possible that the neural
pathways by which the odour elicits the pleasant, everyday memory override the fear-conditioned
lOMoARcPSD| 58448089
neural pathways that respond to verbal cues.
F. According to Herz, the therapeutic potential of odours could lie in their very unreliability. She has
shown with her perfume-bottle experiment that they don't guarantee any better recall, even if the memories
they elicit feel more real. And there's plenty of research to show that our noses can be tricked, because being
predominantly visual and verbal creatures, we put more faith in those other modalities. In 2001, for instance,
Gil Morrot, of the National Institute for Agronomic Research in Montpellier, tricked 54 oenology students by
secretly colouring a white wine with an odourless red dye just before they were asked to describe the odours
of a range of red and white wines. The students described the coloured wine using terms typically reserved for
red wines. What's more, just like experts, they used terms alluding to the wine's redness and darkness-visual
rather than olfactory qualities. Smell, the researchers concluded, cannot be separated from the other senses.
G. Last July, Jay Gottfried and Ray Dolan of the Wellcome Department of Imaging Neuroscience in
London took that research a step further when they tested people's response times in naming an odour, either
when presented with an image that was associated with the odour or one that was not. So, they asked them to
sniff vanilla and simultaneously showed them either a picture of ice cream or of cheese, while scanning their
brains in a fMRI machine. People named the smells faster when the picture showed something semantically
related to them, and when that happened, a structure called the hippocampus was strongly activated. The
researchers' interpretation was that the hippocampus plays a role in integrating information from the
sensesinformation that the brain then uses to decide what it is perceiving.

Part 2. (8 pts) Read the passage below, which contains 8 mistakes. Identify the mistakes and write the
corrections in the corresponding numbered boxes provided. Line 1
Thousands of books have written on the conflict between parents and teenagers. Psychologists and sociologists 2
have spent years to try to understand the reasons for the tension and endless arguments between these two 3 groups. 4
A close look at these arguments often reveals that the reasons are so trivial that we may wonder how the tears 5
and shouts have all been about. Most arguments are not about major issues like the nuclear bomb or the 6
ecological problems of the universe. The fights are usually about simply matters such as food, clothes, the 7
weekly allowance or the telephone. 8
Let's take an ordinary day and examine what happens. Problems start around 7 a.m. It is then when parents 9
expect their children to get up, get dressed, eat and go to school. Parents and alarm clocks seem like the enemy 10
of mankind at that early hour. Some parents even expect the "poor" youngsters to tidy up their room and put 11
everything in its place before leave for school - a ridiculous demand - in the eyes of the "victims". In the 12
afternoon, parents want them to do homework and study hard. 13
They resent their children's endless conversations on the phone. In the evening, they complain about the 14
clothes and jewelry the teenagers wear and preach for hours about the dangers on the road and the need to be 15

Part 3. (20 pts) Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Write your answers A, B, C or D in the corresponding numbered boxes provided. Personality and health
There is increasing evidence that health is linked to personality. However, until now, the relationship has not
affected the way health care is delivered. There are several reasons for this. Some health workers doubt whether
there is a direct link between health and personality or whether it's just a coincidence. Some feel it is their
professional duty to treat all patients in the same way. Others argue that delivering health services according to
patients' personalities will have minimal impact and therefore isn't worth the effort. However, some
psychologists believe that applying different procedures to people with different personalities could have a
significant, positive effect on health. lOMoAR cPSD| 58448089
Research into personality has, in recent years, focused on the Big Five model of personality types. This model
measures how neurotic, extrovert, open to experience, agreeable and conscientious a person is. Some of these
personality types have been studied in relation to health. For example, conscientious people tend to be less
likely to smoke, drink too much alcohol or be inactive. However, in other cases, the relationship is less clear.
Neurotic behaviour, for instance, has been found in some studies to increase the risk of death, in others to
protect people from illness and in others to have no link to health at all.
Even so, if health workers applied an understanding of personality to the services they provide, they could
influence the extent to which patients act on advice and follow their treatment. For example, high sensation-
seeking individuals, who are extroverts and unconscientious in the Big Five model and tend to take part in risky
activities, respond to drama, energy and emotion. Thus, to encourage those people to follow health advice,
health promotions can be designed to incorporate those factors. An example of this was the campaign SENTAR
which aimed to reduce cannabis use among high sensation-seeking teenagers. By creating asuitable television
advert, they successfully engaged these youths and reduced their recreational drug use. Of course, this
approach isn't always possible. It is often impractical and expensive to create several versions of a campaign
to reach different personality types. However, recent developments in computer technology, cookies and
targeted advertising may allow this approach to be used more in future.
Personality could also be considered when sending messages, information and guidance to specific patients.
Already, health information is usually available in various forms-printed, digital, audio, and so on - to be
suitable and accessible for different users, such as the blind, the elderly, and people with reading difficulties.
Research has also shown that, by identifying different patients' motivations for treatment and then
corresponding with them in a way that reflects their motivations, patients will become more involved in their
treatment, compared to when the same messages are sent to everyone. Correspondence could, therefore, be
adapted to reflect patients' personality type, too. For example, less conscientious people could be sent phone
reminders to attend appointments. So far, there has been very little research into the effectiveness of tailoring
health guidance according to personality, so this area deserves further study.
Until now, the focus of personality -- health research has been to explore the link between personality and
health and has had very little practical application. Thus, health workers have not engaged deeply with it.
However, by suggesting, trialing and implementing practices to engage patients with different personalities,
the relationship between psychology researchers and health workers could improve, along with the health of the general public.

Part 4. (20 pts) Read the following passage and do the tasks that follow. lOMoAR cPSD| 58448089 Follow your nose A.
Aromatherapy is the most widely used complementary therapy in the National Health Service, and
doctors use it most often for treating dementia. For elderly patients who have difficulty interacting verbally,
and to whom conventional medicine has little to offer, aromatherapy can bring benefits in terms of better sleep,
improved motivation, and less disturbed behaviour. So the thinking goes. But last year, a systematic review of
health care databases found almost no evidence that aromatherapy is effective in the treatment of dementia.
Other findings suggest that aromatherapy works only if you believe it will. In fact, the only research that has
unequivocally shown it to have an effect has been carried out on animals. B.
Behavioural studies have consistently shown that odours elicit emotional memories far more readily
than other sensory cues. And earlier this year, Rachel Herz, of Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island,
and colleagues peered into people's heads using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to corroborate
that. They scanned the brains of five women while they either looked at a photo of a bottle of perfume that
evoked a pleasant memory for them, or smelled that perfume. One woman, for instance, remembered how as
a child living in Paris - she would watch with excitement as her mother dressed to go out and sprayed herself
with that perfume. The women themselves described the perfume as far more evocative than the photo, and
Herz and co-workers found that the scent did indeed activate the amygdala and other brain regions associated
with emotion processing far more strongly than the photograph. But the interesting thing was that the memory
itself was no better recalled by the odour than by the picture. "People don't remember any more detail or with
any more clarity when the memory is recalled with an odour," she says. "However, with the odour, you have
this intense emotional feeling that's really visceral." C.
That's hardly surprising, Herz thinks, given how the brain has evolved. "The way I like to think about
it is that emotion and olfaction are essentially the same things," she says. "The part of the brain that controls
emotion literally grew out of the part of the brain that controls smell." That, she says, probably explains why
memories for odours that are associated with intense emotions are so strongly entrenched in us, because the
smell was initially a survival skill: a signal to approach or to avoid. D.
Eric Vermetten, a psychiatrist at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands, says that doctors have
long known about the potential of smells to act as traumatic reminders, but the evidence has been largely
anecdotal. Last year, he and others set out to document it by describing three cases of post-traumatic stress
disorder (PTSD) in which patients reported either that a certain smell triggered their flashbacks, or that smell
was a feature of the flashback itself. The researchers concluded that odours could be made use of in exposure
therapy, or for reconditioning patients' fear responses. E.
After Vermetten presented his findings at a conference, doctors in the audience told him how they had
turned this association around and put it to good use. PTSD patients often undergo group therapy, but the
therapy itself can expose them to traumatic reminders. "Some clinicians put a strip of vanilla or a strong.
pleasant, everyday odorant such as coffee under their patients' noses, so that they have this continuous olfactory
stimulation," says Vermetten. So armed, the patients seem to be better protected against flashbacks. It's purely
anecdotal, and nobody knows what's happening in the brain, says Vermetten, but it's possible that the neural
pathways by which the odour elicits the pleasant, everyday memory override the fear-conditioned lOMoAR cPSD| 58448089 neural pathways that respond to verbal cues. F.
According to Herz, the therapeutic potential of odours could lie in their very unreliability. She has
shown with her perfume-bottle experiment that they don't guarantee any better recall, even if the memories
they elicit feel more real. And there's plenty of research to show that our noses can be tricked, because being
predominantly visual and verbal creatures, we put more faith in those other modalities. In 2001, for instance,
Gil Morrot, of the National Institute for Agronomic Research in Montpellier, tricked 54 oenology students by
secretly colouring a white wine with an odourless red dye just before they were asked to describe the odours
of a range of red and white wines. The students described the coloured wine using terms typically reserved for
red wines. What's more, just like experts, they used terms alluding to the wine's redness and darkness-visual
rather than olfactory qualities. Smell, the researchers concluded, cannot be separated from the other senses. G.
Last July, Jay Gottfried and Ray Dolan of the Wellcome Department of Imaging Neuroscience in
London took that research a step further when they tested people's response times in naming an odour, either
when presented with an image that was associated with the odour or one that was not. So, they asked them to
sniff vanilla and simultaneously showed them either a picture of ice cream or of cheese, while scanning their
brains in a fMRI machine. People named the smells faster when the picture showed something semantically
related to them, and when that happened, a structure called the hippocampus was strongly activated. The
researchers' interpretation was that the hippocampus plays a role in integrating information from the
sensesinformation that the brain then uses to decide what it is perceiving. Questions 1-6
