Urban development is having a direct impact on the weather in many cities worldwide. It has been

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the

correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 42.

A letter of application is a sales letter in which you are both salesperson and product, for the

purpose of an application is to attract an employer's attention and persuade him or her to grant you an

interview. To do this, the letter presents what you can offer the employer, rather than what you want

from the job.

Like a résumé, the letter of application is a sample of your work and an opportunity to demonstrate

your skills and personality. If it is written with flair and understanding and prepared with professional

care, it is likely to be very effective. While the résumé must be factual, objective, and brief, the letter is

your chance to interpret and expand. It should state explicitly how your background relates to the

specific job, and it should emphasise your strongest and most relevant characteristics. The letter should

demonstrate that you know both yourself and the company.

The letter of application must communicate your ambition and enthusiasm. Yet it must be modest.

It should be neither aggressive nor compliant: neither pat yourself on the back nor ask for sympathy. It

should never express dissatisfaction with the present or former job or employer. And you should avoid

discussing your reasons for leaving your last job.

Finally, it is best that you not broach the subject on salary. Indeed, even if a job advertisement

requires that you mention your salary requirements, it is advisable simply to call them "negotiable."

However, when you go on an interview, you should be prepared to mention a salary range. For this

reason, you should investigate both your field and, if possible, the particular company. You don't want

to ask for less than you deserve or more than is reasonable.

(Adapted from "Select Readings - Intermediate" by Linda Lee and Erik Gundersen)

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the

correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.

Henry is the undisputed star of Dronfield School near Sheffield. Whatever the achievements of

other members of the comprehensive school, it is Henry, with his soulful eyes and glossy hair, who has

hogged the limelight, appearing on television in Britain and abroad. Yet despite all the public

adulation, Henry stirs up no envy or resentment among the 2000 students – in fact, they all adore him.

The dog, who first arrived six months ago, is a super dog, who has improved students' behaviour and

encouraged more students to focus on their academic achievement.

Andrew Wainwright, a student at Dronfield School, says there is something magical and calming

about being able to interact with Henry during his time at the school's catch-up classes, and that if he

falls behind, that opportunity will be denied. Even doubting staff have finally been won round. Perhaps

that is because Henry, who lies on the floor during staff meetings, has also had a calming effect on them.

It was Andrew's teacher, Wendy Brown and the school counsellor, Julie Smart, who first proposed

buying a school dog. "Julie and I were talking one day about how looking after dogs can positively

affect children's conduct," says Brown. "We did some research and discovered that the presence of pets

has been shown to be therapeutic. A number of studies have shown that animals improve recovery after

surgery or illness and have a calming influence on people in a lot of settings. Some of my kids can be a

handful and some of the children Julie counsels have terrible problems."

Could the school dog become a craze? Other schools such as the Mulberry Bush, a primary school

for children with behavioural problems, have stepped forward to point out they already have one. Rosie

Johnston, a Mulberry staff member has been bringing her golden retriever, Muskoka, into school for

three years. Apart from being a calming influence, Muskoka even plays his part in literacy lessons.

Children at the school can be too shy to read to adults so they read to Muskoka. "Their anxiety about

mispronouncing something or getting the words in the wrong order is reduced when they read to him,"

says Johnston.

Psychologist Dr Deborah Wells from Queen's University Belfast specialises in animal-human

interaction. She believes that the underlying key to the Henry effect is that dogs offer unconditional

love and that cheers up adults and children and helps with self-esteem. But traditionalist Chris

Woodhead, the former chief inspector of schools says, "I don't see why a teacher cannot create a

positive learning environment through the subject they teach and their personality. Dogs strike me as a

bit of a publicity stunt. It's the kind of sentimental story journalists love." Despite this sentiment, Henry

remains as popular as ever.
