'... wewish our elderly to live asfulfilled and
independenta life aspossible.'
'... we are becoming an increasingly elderly
society.. .'
2 Readthe extracts. Forquestions 1-6, choose the
answer (A, B,C or D)which you think fits best
according to the text.
As medical science progresses, we are becoming an
increasingly elderly society and, although living to a ripe
old age can only be a good thing, it bringswith it a large
number of problems that we have yet to deal with
5 properly. One such problem is that the burden of
financing care for the elderly is falling on a reduced
percentage of the population. The gradual but steady
74
B Suggestions for working with
elderly immigrant patients
trend towards smaller families means a smaller number
of people to pay for the requirements of an increasin~'
elderly population. The services needed by the elderl;
are currently stretched to breaking point. Nursing
homes, homecare, meals on wheels and so on all need
more investment ifwe wishour elderly to live as fulfillet.and independent a life as possible. Young people toda.
are encouraged to start saving with personal pensic::
schemes as early as possible to ensure an adequate!.

discovering too late that the steps they had taken .

2 a. Readthe article.Sixparagraphshavebeenremoved.Chooseromthe paragraphs(A-G)the onewhichfits ea&gap(1-6).Thereisone extraparagraphyoudo not needto use.
A Tuesdaymorning in south London.
Out past Sainsbury's and up some steps,
there's a squatbrickbuilding that looks asthough it means
business. Half a dozen young men are lingering by the
door. With their trainers, sweatshirts, tracksuit bottoms
and gleaming heads, they might have turned up for a game
of five-a-side. But this is Bexley magistrates court, not a
leisure centre, and the sporty young men have come to
plead their guilt or innocence.
The lad with'One Nation' on hisjacket is ushered into the
dock.Hiscrime,it turnsout, isfailingto paya trafficfineof £250. Asked if there is anything he'd like to say in
mitigation, he shrugs and mumbles, 'I lost my job.' He
shuffles his feet and sighs, wanting this to be over. The
magistrates, havingconferred, order him to payoff the fine
at the rate of £10 a week. He steps down. One-third of
fines in Britain are never paid.This willprobablybe one ofthem.
2
But it's all traffic: drivingwithout due care and attention,
driving a vehicle with faulty brakes or bald tyres, drivingwithout a tax disc or MoT certificate or insurance.
Especiallythe last. On the evidenceof this court, no one in
south London bothers with insurance. And though they
plead guilty as charged, not one of them intended to get
behindthewheelwhileuninsured,but didsoonlyto helpout a sick friend or an ancient relative or a woman in
labour ...
3
Courtroom drama? I'd find more drama in the multi-
storey where my car is parked. But the last case beforelunch is oddly gripping: a man who went through a red
light.At 7.30on a Sundaymorninghe's on hiswayto work82
continuous flow
when the car stalls as he is crossing a dual carriage-
This is highlydangerous, sowhen he manages to stan '_
engine again he moves off to be safe; by this time, how.
the lights ahead have turned red, and when he =
through them a policeman pulls him up. He thinks ir
all a bit unfair: 'I'm a train operator. Mymind is total..
signals.I wouldn't jump them.',
4
Back in court one, as the afternoon wears on, the tJ';
more than traffic. The first female defendant of
appears, charged with the theft of £60 worth of goc...
Morrisons, a tricky case because the items were
about her person but she hadn't left the store. A lit'..a man is charged with brandishing a 'bladed aT'
kitchen knife) in the street, though he says he use.. .to clear the ice from his windscreen.
J
In the shopping centre, during the lunch break, I pa.
woman magistrate. I'm tempted to stop her so ~_
review the morning's cases together. But I decide
there's probably a law against it - some ancient <:
about interfering with a magistrate in the course oi
her duty - and let her buy her sandwiches in peace..

.

By 4.30, everything's done. I wander out, relieved
off the conveyor belt of human weakness and mi." -
yet there's something addictive about it, too. '.

Magistrates don't deal with rape and murder, of course;
anything serious or complex is referred upward, for trial
by judge and jury. Still, 96% to 98% of criminal cases in

done by kids who are only thilteen. [fwe're iust looking at

veryawareof thepovertygap,I believethat veryew of us
fully comprehend this complex issue. A greater
understanding of the situation and the reasons behind it
could go someway towards helping to find solutions.
3) ........................................
Thisis an issuewhichI feel is relevantto the majorityof
students. Only by examiningthe motivation behind
offences can we fully understand the problem and
concentrate on the important matters of protection and
prevention.
4) ........................................
Another area which isworthy offurther investigation isthat
of the imminent dangers to the environment. Many of us
intend to take up positions in commerce or industryand
sinceenvironmentallyfriendly policies arebeing increasingly
adopted by companies,it isvital that we are aware of the
latest developments.
5) ........................................
Not onlywillthese subjects behelpful in our future careers,
but I anticipate that theywill alsoprovide uswith a better
understanding of the society we live in.

Reading
3 Readhe text. Sixparagraphshave been removed.Choosefrom
paragraphs A-G the one which fits each gap (1-6). There is one extra'paragraph you do not need to use.
It wouldbe easyto feel intimidatedby someonewhohassurvivedabductionby the
Khmer Rouge, run the London marathon shortly after losing their lower right arm
and leg in an accident and appeared on the BBC's Parkinson show. Yet Chris
Moon, 39, is refreshingly down to earth, even to the point of finding it difficult to
keep the initial appointments for this interview, proving that even superheroes
can't be in two places at once.
m I
You don't need to speak to him for long before you realise that this is a
particularly appropriate title. Not only does he talk with an almost evangelical zeal
about his desire to empower others to get the best out of themselves and their
businesses, but his own philosophy is all about making the best of any situation,
howevergrimitmayseem. .[II I
'I decided it was about doing the best we can, reaching our full potential and making
use of our talents. It's also about involvement with other people. 1wanted to make a
difference, do something 1could be trained inbut also grow as a person, so 1decided
to join the army.' On graduating from Sandhurst, he was commissioned into the
Royal Military Police and also served with several infantry units.
m I
'When we were first kidnapped, 1 thought 1 had no control as 1 kept thinking 1
can't do anything about this. But my one thought was never to assume the role of
victim. It would have been so easy to give up, but 1 quickly realised that fear is a J
state of inactivity. You have to be positive and pursue logic and reason. That was,
and still is, my driving force.'
o IHis big break could be said to have come shortly after he left hospital, when he
was talking to an old friend from primary school who suggested he looked on the
accident as an opportunity to do something that would help him grow as a person.
Recognising the value of education and feeling that he hadn't been able to do his
best at school, he decided to do a masters degree in security management at the
University of Leicester.[TI ]
He began to do risk management surveys for different companies, while giving talks
on leadership, dealing with change and the process of achievement. He says his main
aim is to try and motivate people, although he prefers to be called a performance
enhancer rather than a motivational speaker. 'There is no greater privilege than
empowering someone to do something they thought they couldn't,' he says.
@] I
So after all the experiences he has been through, is he surprised to find himself
running his own business? 'My mum's cousin had an extremely successful dairy
business and when 1was very young he said to me: 'When you've done all the
other things you want to do, set up a business and help get the best out of people.'
He obviously had it right.'
