For questions 31 - 36, choose the answer (A, B, C or D) which you think fits best according to the text. In-the exam, you mark your answers on a separate answer sheet. The voice of Bart Simpson Clive Eyre remembers the day he met the actress who created the voice ‘The womman I'd come to meet was sitting atop # large plastic caw in the grounds of her Los Angeles home, Small and blonde, she held an umbrelia and gave a mischievous smile ‘or a photographer. “Hi, there!” she said, giving me a warm, almost ‘motherly wave from her unusual vantage point. Her eal name was Nancy Cartwright. Her stage name, however, was a litle ‘more familie: Bart Simpson, the obnoxious, skateboard-touting ten-year-old from the cartoon metcopalis of Springfield. It ‘was hard to believe, but this micdle-2ged mother of two, dressed in a sensible green top and blue Wousers, was the yellon- hhued rascal who instructed the world to eat his shorts, “can bring him out at wil,” said Cartwright, with a hint of raised eyebrow, her naturally husky voice always seemingly on the verge of breaking into a Bartism, punctuated by his cruel, gloating laughter. “Think about it i's kind of idea, isnt it? f | go to a party and someone brings a kid up to me! can go, ‘Hey, man, what's happening?” and watch the kid's face. | love doing that” My own response was probably similar. The ten-year-old voice coming out of Cartwright was scarily incangrucus. it belonged to another world ~ certainly not here in suburhan LA, amongst the tennis courts and swimming pools. Reckless skateboarding certainly would’ be tolerated Cartwright, however, hed grown tired of deploying Barts voice as a means to claim traditional celebrity perks, such as a table at top restaurants. “tried tance,” she sais, “its embarrassing, People are lke, ‘So what?’ "Following similarly disappointing encounters with unamused traffic cops and harried fight attendants, she learnt to relish her anonymous celebrity status. “I's probably because Ihave the choice whereas most celebrities don’t” she concluded. “They/re kind of, you know, at the whim of the public. That must be unnerving.” But there is, of course, something profoundly odd about the fact thet Nancy Cartwright was at once beth an Ais celebrity and a faceless nobody. So odd, in fact. that it inspired her to produce a one-woman show based on what she called ‘My life 2 a ten:year-akd boy. The show took the audience through Cartwright’ real ife as a ten-year-old = living in the Midwestern ‘nowheresville’ of Dayton, Ohio — when she won a school competition with a performance of Rudyard Kipiing's How the Came! Got His Hump. After that came other competitions, other trophies, and a gredual realisation that her voice was perfect for cartoons, 8y her late teens, Cartwright was working fora radio station where she met a Hollywood studia representative swho gave her the name and phone number of Daws Butie, the legendary voice of cartoon favourites Huckleberry Hound and Yogi Bear ‘just 29, and with only that one contact, Cartwright, like so many wannabe starlets, packed her bags and headed west, transfering her university scholarship Irom Ono to the Unversity of California, Cartwright, however, was no ordinary blonde starlet, “Most people who come to Hollywood are looking to get on camera,” she recalled. “My stary's quite different. My purpose was to heakup with this pioneer cf he voiceover industry, so that's what did” He putherin touch with the directors atthe Hanna-Barbera studio and helped her get the voice of Glota in Richie Rich — the adventures of the richest boy inthe world ‘Then came the call from the producers of @ 3o-second cartoon spot an The Tracey Ullman Show. They wanted her to play the role of Lisa Simpson, a nerdy and morally upstanding knowl with a bratty Uttle brother, Bart. “| went in, saw Lise, and did't really see anything | could sink my teeth into,” says Cartwright. “But the audition plece for Bart was right there, and I'm like, “Whoa, ten years old, underachiever and proud ofit!'*, end Im going, "Yeah, man ~ that’s the one | wanna dot” She knew the audition was a success when Matt Greening, creator of The Simpsons, started cracking up and shouting, That's it That's Bart! I's ne surprise to learn that Bart's catchphrase ~ “Eat my shorts!” — was orlginally an ad lib by Cartwright. The Bart voice had long been a part of Cartwright’s repertoire, but it ddr come alive until she saw the pictures of him and read the script. The material, meanwhile, which was pretty heady stuff in the 19805, didn’t shock her.

A Dennis Freeman College students are almost universally regular users of social media. These students claim to welcome the freedom it gives them to say stupid things or post ugly, unattractive or indeed unflattering pictures for others in their circle to see, and it also gives them an easy opportunity to be negative or even nasty if they so wish. Social interaction via the intemet, albeit very largely trivial in nature, is so ubiquitous that It now seems hard to recall how things were before it existed, ‘At every stago in its development, commentators hhave seriously underestimated both the extent to which the spread of social media would change people's lives and the sheer power of the internet to become the dominant means of communication. What's more, the appeal looks to set to grow irrespective of how superficial or ephemeral the latest apps or social media platforms might seem to be. iy sa) S 2 < IG ENGLISH Rene) i eo “TIP STRIP : = = B Alison Alder 2S My students frequently express concems about the power of social media and the harm it can setae ers pleash, Thay see It a8 papetutng crazy conspracy theres and providing an easy patorm from which vicious attacks on essentially harmless individuals can be launched with impunity. ft pretictee!

Truth be told, nobody ‘saw this comming as a phenomenon, save perhaps the software companies themselves, the sole aim of whose marketing departments was ensuring that thelr users remained hooked in, ‘Question 40: Read ‘hat ench ofthe wor @ Rachel Bruno lt ‘Sa shout te Gare Although nearly allcollege students willingly use social media, there hasn't been sufficient research i to date to explain how providers succeeded in making thei platforms and apps indispensable to | users, even when they come to dominate an individual's ife to the point of harm. Nobody has yet sought to measure the resulting collateral damage to more traditional forms of reationship and interaction, or to physical well-being. One exception to ths is the disturbance to sleep patterns, which has been shovin to result from the irresistible urge to check devices through the night. ‘What's remarkable Is that some of these downsides were identified from the early days of the intemet, but rather than prompting a pause for reflection on how these challenges might best be accommodated, they were pushed to one side as manifestations of tachnophobie conservatism. Itremains to be seen whether the inherent worth of social media will someday be re-evaluated. D Pat Jamieson Having failed to foresee the emergence of social media, the attention of academic research has tended to focus on the generation of digital natives now reaching collage age, and the perception that social media use is habit forming and that this is the result of clever marketing and even : ‘leverer design of platforms and apps. Whether or not an individual can become addicted to hand-held devices or the allure of the atest photo upload and sharing sites is surety questionable. What's more, making the comparison with true addictions seems distinctly superficial unless backed up by further study. However, the near-universal engagement with social media amongst this particular demographic can’t be denied, and has implications for the future, especially given the ongoing development of increasingly creative and relevant platforms and apps, capable of ‘engaging our interest as well as performing a vital function in underpinning social interactions. 40 TEST 2 READING AND USEWhich tutor has a diferent opinion to Dennis Freeman regarding the extent to which the impact of social media was predicted? shares Alison Alder’s view about why people continue to use social media? has a different view to the others regarding the attitude of college students to social media? has a different view to Pat Jamieson about the lasting value of social-nedia platforms and apps? 37 30 READING AND USE OF ENGLISH TEST 2 4lNG a ig as SS) Qo Za =< OF ENGLISH READING 2 IR STRE ‘Question 42: Look Gy another word tat means tewbour: ‘Question 44: Look fr ar option thet begins ‘wth a word tat coud anome the question Question 46: Look for ‘he opton that tals adoil corneas ‘of the colapred tre, (eae You are going to read an article about a travel book.

With the maps laid out in front of us, Charley and I drew a route, arbitrarily assigning mileage to each day, not knowing anything about the state of the roads.

We spoke to the owners of participating restaurants. A ‘Asa business, we weren't looking for a charity to support, but when we heard about this one, we just knew it was right for us. The campaign is making a real difference in the daily fight azainst hunger, and it’s not just a question of saving the lives of severely malnourished children when there's & crisis, though that happens, it’ also about helping to enable peopie in over 40 countries to feed themselves and their families in the future. That way hunger can be kept at bay and, crises averted. The aim at the moment is to bring as many restaurants on board as possible, because by coming together, the catering community can make a real impact, Each customer giving a small donation, each manager or chef putting together a local fund-raising event, it all contributes enormously to the fight against hunger. And the charity makes sure that a high percentage of the funds collected actually find their way to the people who need it most B ‘The charity is particularly important for people in this profession, What we do is essentially superficial and frivolous and it makes me uneasy at times to think that while people here are spending lavishly on slap-up meals, people elsewhere are going hungry. We simply put a ' surcharge on every customer's bill, openly of course because they need to appreciate what they are a part of. Most people co-operate willingly, but anyone who feels strongly can ask to have the donation removed, though, of course, it’s disappointing when that happens. Its important to celebrate the food we have, and we're not in the business of making our customers feel guilty about the relative plenty they enjoy, but at the same time we should be mindful of people tess fortunate than ourselves, We'e also organising a gala dinner whete well-known TV celebrities, will be putting in an appearance. Tickets for that will be at a premium, and the restaurant will be doing the ditners a cost. c \ ‘We've been targeted by a whole raft of charities in recent years, but this one stood out for me as a very relevant choice for a restaurant business, Although customers don't generally object to a donation being added to their bill, we've found that actually engaging their interest leads, to enhanced donations. Competitions such as guessing the weight of a cake, local TV celebrities serving at table, demonstrations by the head chef, ete, all these things bring people into the restaurant during the week of the appeal and ereate a festive atmosphere, even if they are mostly regular customers. We don't set out to increase trade through our charity work, although I would hhope that customers will feel well disposed to establishments that show they have a conscience. > For us, the charity week came just when we needed something to give us a boost. We've only recently taken over the restaurant from a manager who'd been involved with various local fund~ raising initiatives. But increased competition had eaten into his profitability and he'd decided to sell up. We knew, therefore, that there was an existing client base out there, who had been generous in the past, and we were looking for a way of raising our profile. We leafleted local businesses, colleges and libraries with details of the charity's Work and our involvement with it. Although relatively few people came in during the week, which was a bit of a setback for us, the write-up in the local press did wonders in terms of spreading the word that we were here, So we took a long-term view and thought it was worth having another go this year. We've been ‘working on a booklet of recipes which we'll give customers in return for a donation next time, which will also highlight local produce and recipes. READING AND USE OF ENGUSH TEST 2 5
