A SCARY GAME In the depths of a haunted house, something is following you. It’s getting closer, you can sense it creeping up behind you. Luckily, you can make the ghosts recede. All you have to do is take control of your emotions. You’re in Nevermind, an unusual video game developed by Erin Reynolds. To complete each level, the players have to overcome their fear. If they let stress get the better of them, the screen will get shakier and the feeling of imminent danger will intensify. If they manage to calm down, for instance, by slowing down their breathing, the game will ease up. Reynolds started working on Nevermind when she was in an interactive media master’s program at the University of Southern California in 2009. She was fascinated by biofeedback, which is a process based on technology that reads the player’s heartbeat, facial expressions or eye movement, and decided to apply it in the game she was developing for her thesis. In order for the game to read physiological responses, the player has to wear a heart rate sensor, which detects the fear or tension that one is feeling at any given moment. In the case of games like this, where emotions come into play, the outcomes are less obvious than in the case of conventional games. There has been a lot of talk in the video game industry about playing games for more than just entertainment. While most horror video games seek to provide just an exciting thrill, Nevermind has greater ambitions. Reynolds and her team are hoping it can be developed as a tool to teach people how to manage anxiety and improve their state of mind. The aim, says Erin, is for players to practise being mindful of their stress level and learn how to stop their fears from taking control in nerve-wracking situations. adapted from Zadanie 5.

ENSURING SAFE OPERATION OF DRONES pwz: 66%Poziom wykonania zadania - im wyższy, tym zadanie było łatwiejsze dla The airspace over London is among the most crowded in the world and the soaring popularity of small unmanned drones has added to the congestion. If we want to prevent such incidents in the future, stricter enforcement of regulations and better technology are required. pwz: 71%Poziom wykonania zadania - im wyższy, tym zadanie było łatwiejsze dla The scale of the problem is unknown. Sales of drones in Britain and many other countries are not counted but we know the trend is increasing. America’s Federal Aviation Administration reckons consumer sales could grow from million in 2016 to as many as million by 2020. Close encounters are also on the rise and many of them can potentially be hazardous. Britain’s Airprox Board, which is responsible for collecting reports, found 23 near-misses between drones and aircraft between April and November last year. Today no one is sure how much damage a drone could do to a jet airliner. What’s more, many of them have metal components, including lithium-ion batteries, which can explode if damaged. pwz: 68%Poziom wykonania zadania - im wyższy, tym zadanie było łatwiejsze dla Rules for operating drones are meant to ensure that collisions do not happen. Not complying with these regulations is a criminal offence. However, rules alone will not stop accidents. Stricter control is necessary. In America, recreational users are required to register their drones online and are given an identification number for their craft. Failure to register could mean a fine of up to $250,000. Schemes to help identify drone operators are also planned in Europe. pwz: 74%Poziom wykonania zadania - im wyższy, tym zadanie było łatwiejsze dla Technology can also help keep drones out of trouble. Another method is a “virtual tether”, which in effect puts a drone on an invisible leash to prevent it from flying too far from its operator. adapted from In Britain and America drones are not supposed to go higher than 150 metres and should be kept in sight by their operators at all times. B. Those the size of a large insect are probably nothing to worry about, but there are some which can weigh 20 kilos. C. But neither various rules nor the most modern technology will stop those intent on deliberately causing harm. D. Some drone-makers are restricting the speed drones can reach, as well as installing software which programs a drone’s GPS to prevent flights near airports or nuclear power stations. E. As a result, there have been many close encounters between drones and planes and one minor collision, thankfully with negligible damage. Zadanie 6.

THE JOB War was declared at eleven-fifteen and Mary North signed up at noon. She did it hurriedly at lunch, before telegrams came, in case her mother said no. When she reached London, she went straight to the War Office. The ink was still fresh on the map they issued her. She rushed across town to her post, desperate not to miss a minute of the war. Any moment now it would start – this dreaded and wonderful thing – and it could never be won without her. The morning rush matched her mood. In London, thousands of young women were hurrying to their new positions, on orders from Whitehall, and Mary joined gladly the great flow of the willing. The War Office had given no further details, and that was a good sign. They might make her an attaché to a general’s staff. It was even rumoured that they needed spies, which was most appealing. Mary stopped a cab and showed her map to the driver. He held it at arm’s length and looked at the red cross that marked where she was to report. “This big building, in Hawley Street?” “Yes,” said Mary. “It’s Hawley Street School, isn’t it?” “I shouldn’t think so. I’m to report for war work, you see.” “Oh. Only I don’t know what else it could be around there but the school. The rest is just houses.” Mary opened her mouth to argue, then stopped. Because, of course, they didn’t have a glittering tower labelled MINISTRY OF WILD INTRIGUE. Naturally they would have her report somewhere insignificant. How silly of me to chatter on like this, she thought. “Right then,” she said. “I expect I am to be made a schoolmistress.” The man nodded. “Makes sense, doesn’t it? Half the schoolmasters in London must be joining up for the war.” “Then, let’s hope the cane proves effective against the enemy’s tanks.” Arriving at the school, Mary felt observed. She was careful to adopt the expression of an ordinary young woman for whom the prospect of work as a schoolteacher would be thrilling. This was her first test, after all. She found the headmistress’s office and introduced herself. Miss Vine nodded but wouldn’t look up from her desk. “North,” said Mary again. “Yes, I heard you quite well. You are to take Kestrel Class. Begin with the register. Read it and learn the students’ names.” “Very good,” said Mary. “Have you taught before?” “No,” said Mary, “but I can’t imagine there’s much to it.” “Your imagination is not on the syllabus. Be firm, organized, give no liberties, and do not underestimate the importance of the child forming letters properly. As the hand, the mind.” Mary felt that the “headmistress” was overdoing it and decided to mention it to the woman’s superior, once she discovered who it was. Although in mitigation, the woman’s attention to detail was impressive. Here were pots of sharpened pencils, tins of drawing pins and a tidy stack of hymnbooks standing neatly on her desk. adapted from Everyone Brave is Forgiven by Chris Cleave pwz: 76%Poziom wykonania zadania - im wyższy, tym zadanie było łatwiejsze dla After her visit to the War Office, Mary A) lost her way in the rushing got scared of the responsibility her assignment headed for the place which had been indicated to still felt annoyed by her mother’s reaction to her 2. TO INTERVIEW OR NOT TO INTERVIEW? A friend of mine once had a curious experience at a job interview. Excited about the possible position, she arrived five minutes early and was immediately ushered into the interview room by the receptionist. Following an amicable discussion with a panel of interviewers, she was offered the job. Afterwards, one of the interviewers remarked how impressed she was that my friend could be so composed after showing up 25 minutes late for the interview. As it turned out, my friend had been told the wrong start time by half an hour. She remained composed because she didn’t know she was late. My friend isn’t the type of person who would have remained cool if she had known she was late, but the interviewers reached the opposite conclusion. Of course, they could have also concluded that her calmness showed disrespect. Either way, they would have been wrong to draw conclusions about her future performance in her work based on her behaviour at the interview. In this case, the outcome of the interview was beneficial for the applicant. But it doesn’t have to end that way. This is a widespread problem. Employers like to use free-form, unstructured interviews to “get to know” a job candidate. Such interviews are also increasingly popular with admissions officers at universities. But, as in my friend’s case, interviewers typically form strong but unwarranted impressions. One way to change this is to develop an interview protocol based on a careful analysis of what is being looked for in the candidate. Interviews should be structured so that all candidates receive the same questions, a procedure which makes interviews more reliable and more predictive of job success. The employer should also make sure to include a number of questions which test job-related skills. adapted from pwz: 62%Poziom wykonania zadania - im wyższy, tym zadanie było łatwiejsze dla The author mentions his friend’s interview experience to A) show that a successful interview is linked to future performance in the suggest that an interview may give a misleading image of a compare different factors which influence a candidate’s performance at an prove that each interviewer assesses the same candidate differently.

SET-JETTINGThe trend of travelling to locations featured in movies – commonly known as “set-jetting” – is a growing phenomenon in the tourism industry. Here are some of the most popular set-jetting destinations. А. The Beach – Phi Phi Island, Thailand Released in 2000, Danny Boyle’s The Beach stars Leonardo DiCaprio as an inexperienced traveller in search of a utopian native community living on a fabled beach. The Beach was filmed in Maya Bay, the most popular beach on Phi Phi Island, located off Thailand’s West coast. After the film’s release, the island was flooded with tourists and their rubbish, but now it is slowly getting back to normal after the tidal wave. With its azure waters and surrounding limestone cliffs, Maya Bay certainly won’t disappoint any set-jetters who want to follow in DiCaprio’s footsteps, go snorkelling or explore the mystical coves of this exotic destination. В. 127 Hours – Moab, Utah 127 Hours is a gripping, 2010 Oscar-nominated movie about a young climber who gets trapped in a thin crevice of the Blue John Canyon. The movie was partly filmed in the Canyonlands National Park, Utah. When the movie hit the theatres, there was a continuous influx of tourists wishing to visit the canyon. However, it’s an isolated area and to explore it, you must be an experienced canyoneer. Otherwise, its exploration requires the assistance of a guide. A major let-down for many set-jetters is that the pristine cave pool from the movie doesn’t really exist, at least not within the Canyonlands National Park. С. The Lord of the Rings – Tongariro National Park, New Zealand The Lord of the Rings location of Mordor was shot on and around the rocky slopes of the Tongariro National Park. The area’s jagged volcanic rock formations and dramatic barren landscapes were perfect for creating Mordor’s wasteland. The beautiful Mount Ngauruhoe was digitally transformed to create the fiery Mount Doom, the centre of Frodo’s quest to save Middle-earth. The summits of the volcanoes were not filmed out of respect for the Maori people to whom the peaks are from

Zadanie taking pleasure in something she usually avoids?A) paragraph AB) paragraph BC) paragraph CWHY I LOVE WATCHING MOVIES ON PLANESby Catherine Shoard adapted from Thirty thousand feet up, you are both God and ant. You survey the world beneath you as attentive staff serve refreshments and snacks. And yet you have no control over your own fate. You can’t exit and you can’t turn back. You are a hostage, at the mercy of others. Shocking as it may seem, this is what makes me love long flights, and especially watching movies on them. You have just a few options so you watch whatever is on, guilt-free. That’s how I have seen most romantic comedies in my life. I generally consider them a waste of time and at home I do all I can not to watch them, but in the air they become a true source of enjoyment. B. The regulations or personal tastes of the programme planners who work for airlines are a mystery to me. The choice often seems quite random. Just looking through the lists of what Air Canada considers avant-garde, contemporary or a new release is an entertainment in itself. But surely there are some guidelines, probably something like: if a film can’t cope with being viewed on a tiny screen, interrupted with beeps, meals, safety announcements and sudden drops in altitude, it has no place on a plane. C. There are some advantages, though. The movie goes straight from your individual screen into your brain, unfiltered by environmental factors. There are no strangers obstructing the view of the screen to those in the stalls behind, a partner commenting on the scene or kids munching popcorn. And while it’s rude to stare at what the commuter sitting next to you on the tube is watching or reading, on a plane you just can’t avoid it. Pop to the bathroom and as you return, you have no choice but to evaluate the personal taste of other travellers, whether you like it or not. Zadanie 5.

THE MAPS OF THE FUTURE Zadanie The modern map is no longer a printed publication we struggle with on a mountain peak, but digital, data-rich and dynamic. Thanks to satellite navigation, GPS-enabled smartphones, social networking and 3D visualisation technology, maps are becoming almost unlimited in their functionality and capable of incorporating real-time updates. For instance, tourists will be able to plan their trips by using their phones to project a 3D map onto a wall. Zadanie Then they’ll be able to manipulate it remotely with their fingers, adding layers of information such as landmarks, restaurants, recommendations from friends, as well as transport links and times. As digital maps can now be linked to an almost infinite number of data sets, they’re also going to become more personalised. Cyclists or surfers, for example, will be able to add whatever information they find relevant. And soon we may not only be visualising maps. This kind of function in a map would also be an obvious advantage for people whose sight is Not only does geo-location help us know where we are and what there is of interest around us, it can also show us where everyone else is, and what they think is useful and interesting. Consequently, we receive real-time alerts from fellow drivers, and hopefully enjoy a less frustrating journey. In my area, over 1,500 motorists drove 105,000 miles and posted and shared 528 road alerts in the last week alone. Zadanie Of course, a system based on collecting data from users’ posts works better when more people take part, so if the number is smaller, it might not always be 100% reliable. National emergency services spring to mind first when one thinks of the users of the more precise, dynamically-updated maps which are currently available. While new interaction technologies are making maps richer, there is still one underlying theme uniting all maps throughout history – location. We’ll always need to know where we from A. Thus, maps are becoming social. Many navigation applications for mobile phones are incorporating live updates from their community of users to give commuters tips on how to avoid traffic jams. B. And in the years to come the way we interact with maps will undergo even more It’s said that about one billion hours of travel time and billion litres of fuel are saved globally due to improved navigation. D. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that such services can improve the accuracy of maps to the benefit of all. E. They may be talking to us, too. Words are sometimes better than pictures, particularly if you don’t want to keep stopping to look at your smartphone. Zadanie 6. (0–5)Przeczytaj dwa teksty na temat pracy.

Part of me was angry, however, another part of me began to see I had an opportunity to put the past behind me. I knew I couldn’t carry on singing on street corners all my life. I had to move on. That was all very well in theory, of course. But no one was going to give me a job. It wasn’t because I was stupid, I knew that. Thanks to the IT work I’d done when I was a teenager back in Australia, I was fairly knowledgeable when it came to computers. But I didn’t have any relevant experience in the UK to rely on and if a prospective employer asked me where I’d spent the past ten years, I wouldn’t be able to say I’d been working for Google or Microsoft. So I had to forget that. There wasn’t even any point in my applying to do a training course in computing because they wouldn’t accept me. I had been homeless for years and didn’t even have an O level to my name. I realised that there was only one option – selling the Big Issue1. I didn’t have the luxury of waiting for something else to turn up. So the next day I set off for Covent Garden. I had to find Sam, the area’s Big Issue coordinator. Selling the Big Issue is not easy. People often come up to you and say “get a job”. They think that the sellers are given the magazines for free but it’s not the case. The philosophy of the Big Issue is “you have to have money to make money”. You get a small number of free magazines only on the first day. Once you’ve sold them, you purchase further copies for £ and sell them for £ thereby making a £ income per copy. You need to plan carefully how many magazines you buy every day because if you make no money, you can’t afford copies to sell the next day. I had tried it once, yet, for me it hadn’t worked out. I gave it up after a few months but I could still remember some of the grim, monotonous days I’d spent trying to tempt Londoners to part with their cash in return for a magazine. But I’d been invisible. They would turn their backs on me or do all they could to avoid me. That’s why I’d turned to busking, at least then I had my music to attract people’s attention. I wouldn’t have considered going back to selling the Big Issue if it hadn’t been for my cat, Bob. He had transformed my fortunes on the street incredibly. If I could do as well selling the Big Issue as I’d done busking with Bob, then my life would take a turn for the better. 1Big Issue – a magazine published on behalf of and sold by homeless people. adapted from A Street Cat Named Bob by James Bowen Tekst DOGS FOR A LIVINGGazing out on a sunny summer day from behind the office desks, there are few people who have never thought of being a river guide or a rancher. For many dog lovers, those outdoorsy dreams concern dog walking. It’s a common misconception that dog walking is undemanding. No doubt this illusion stems from the humble beginnings of the profession. Once upon the 1960s, people simply paid the kid down the street a dollar to take Fido out for them. As we’ve packed ourselves into tighter urban spaces with growing crime rates and heavier traffic, the risks involved in a kid walking Fido no longer allow for that solution. But pet owners have even less time and available space to walk Fido, who still needs regular, vigorous exercise beyond what he can get in our small backyards. That’s why professional dog walking was born. And a professional is what it takes to safely navigate six to eight unruly dogs through heavily used natural spaces. Unaware of the hardships, many walkers start out with the experience of walking their own pets. Soon they realize the job involves more than it’s commonly believed. It starts with having the appropriate licences. It’s about interacting skillfully with other trail users and knowing what to do if a fight breaks out. Bad weather brings its own set of trials such as cleaning up soaked and muddy pets. That, however, is not all there is to dog walking. Most of all, it is a business like any other and as such it involves paperwork, customer service, accounting, and an endless list of rules and regulations most of us are not aware of. Still, a lot of dog walkers think they have the best job in the world. One former lawyer once told me, “My worst day on the trail is better than the best day in my old job.” adapted from Zadanie One of the reasons why professional dog walking started was thatA) there appeared more vigorous breeds of dogs which needed more dog owners could afford to pay more for having their pets city dwellers moved to houses without walking dogs was no longer safe for kids.
