T]NDERWATER WORLD
If you want to dive in clear blue waters, find rich marine life and swim over the remains thrown away by
ancient sailors, the tiny island of Ustica is the place to go. This island, 60km from the Italian coast, is the
site of Europe's only rurderwater museum. (1)

Chqn dQi FISG 12- LQD2019 Page 6l13


The clear waters attract some of the world's best underwater divers. The International Academy of
Underwater Sciences, which was set up to encourage underwater exploration, is based in Ustica" (2)

Dr Honor Frost, a Bristish underwater archaeologist and Golden Triden winner, believes that Ustica shows
that some underwater remains are best left in the surroundings where they have been preserved for
centuries. (3) ...
According to Frost, the establishment of the underwater muselrm has made an interesting area of seafloor,
together with the objects which fell to it in antiquity, safe for future study. (4)
For example, it is puzzling that only iron anchors of quite a late date seem to have been lost there, despite
local evidence of sea trade during a period nearly four thousand years ago, when stone anchors would have
been in use. Among the anchors and other remains there are an extraordinary number of Roman millstones,

which were widely traded throughout the ancient world. (5) ...
'Ihe charm of Llstica's underwater world, though, is not only in its historical objects. The sea of Ustica, as

tirr as five kilometers from the coast, is considered to possess to Italy's best under"water reserves, as well as
some of the clearest waters in the Mediter:ranean. (5) .."... .You dive into a world of wonderful
archaeological remains and fantastic colours : bright coral. an astonishing variety ol searveeds and colonies
of sponges
A - Many questions remain to be ansrvered about the museum site.
B - Above these, within 15 metres of the surf'ace. divers can see octopus and all kinds of fish.

C - Made of volcanic rock. they were carried by corn ships heading from Rome to the ports of the north
African coast.
D * This excellent visibility - often open up to 20 metl'es - makes it a great place for underwater
photography.
Il - This gives divers the experience of underwater archaeology without disturbing important sites.

F - However. this section of the museum, although already accessible to diving visitors. still contains
material of interest to researchers.
G - This month it presented its Golden Trident awards, the underwater equivalent of the Nobel prizes, which

have been awarded annirally since 1960.

\Yhat is personality?
A We are all familiar with the idea that different people have different personalities, but what does
this actually mean? It implies that different people behave in different ways, but it must be more than that.
After all, different people find themselves in difl'erent circumstances, and much of their behaviour follows
from this fact. However, our cofllmon experience reveals that different people respond in quite remarkably
different ways even when faced with roughly the same circumstances. Alan might be happy to iive alone
in a quiet and orderly cottage, go out once a week, and stay in the same job for thirty years, whilst Beth
likes nothing better than exotic travel and being surrorinded by vivacious friends and loud music.
B In cases like these, we feel that it cannot be just the situation which is producing the differences
in behaviour. Something about the way the person is 'wired up' seems to be at work, determining how
they react to situations, and, more than that, the kind of situations they get themselves into in the first
place. This is why personality seems to become stronger as we get older; when we are Yoffig, our situation

reflects extemal tbctors such as the social and family environment we were bom into. As we grow older,
we are more and more affected by the consequences of our own choices (doing jobs that we were drawn
to, surounded by people like us whom we have sought out). Thus, personality ditferences that might have
been very slight at bir"th become dramatic in later adulthood.

C Personality, then, seems to be the set of enduring and stable dispositions that characterise a
person. These dispositions come partly from the expression of inherent features of the nervous system,

and partly from learning. Researchers sometimes distinguish between temperament, which refers
exclusively to characteristics that are inborn or directly caused by biological factors, and personality,
which also includes social and cultural learning. Nervousness, for example, might be a factor of
temperament, but religious piety is an aspect of personality.

Chqn dOi HSG I2-LQD2019 Page 8/13


D The discovery that temperamental dilferences are real is one of the maior findings of
contemporary psychology. It could easily have been the case that there were no intrinsic differences
between people in temperarnent, so that given the same learning history, the same dilemmas, they would

all respond in much the same way. Yet we now knorry that this is not the case.
E Personality measures turn out to be good predictors of your health, how happy you typically are
- even your taste in paintings. Personality is a much better predictor of these things than social class or
age. The origin of these diff'erences is in part innate. That is to say, when people ale adopted at birth and

brought up by nerv tamilies, their personalities are more similar to those o1'their blood relatives than to
the ones they grew up with.
F Personality differences tend to manifest themselves through the quiok, gut-feeling, intuitive and
emotional systems of the hnnran mind. The slorver, rational, deliberate systems show less variation in output
fiorn person to person.
l)eliberate rational strategies can be used to orrerride intuitive patterns of response, and this is how peopie
wishing to change their personalities or feelings have to go about it. As human beings, we have the unique
ability to look in at our personality lrom the outside and decide what we want to do with it.
G So what are the major \vays personalities can differ? The dominant approach is to think of the

space of possible personalities as being defined by a number of dimensions, Each person can be given a

location in the space by their scores on allthe dilTerent dimensions. Virtuail-v ai1 theories agree on two of
the main dimensions, neuroticism (or negative emotionalit)') and extroversion (or positive emotionality).
Hon'ever they difler on horv rnany additional ones they recognise. Among the most influential proposals

are openlless. conscientiousness and agreeableness. In the next section I shall examine these five
dimensions.

SPORTSWRITING
Offices and bars are fulI of casual obscenity, but most British newspapers are ... well, not necessarily careful
about language, but careful about bad words anyway. The phrase'family newspaper'is an ineluctable part
of our lives. Newspapers are not in the business of giving gratuitous offence. It is a limitation of newspaper
writing, and one everybody in the business, whether witing or reading, understands and accepts. There are
many other necessary limitations, and most of these concem time and space.
Newspapers have dominated sportswriting in Britain for years, and have produced their own totem figures

and doyens. But ten years ago, a new player entered the game. This was the phenomenon of men's
magazines; monthly magazines for men that had actual words in them - words for actually reading. GQ was

Chqn dQi HSG 12-LQD20L9 Page 9l13


the pioneer and, in my totally unbiased opinion as the long-term author of the magazine's sports column, it
leads the way still, leaving the rest panting distantly in its wake.
Sport, is of course, a blindingly obvious subject for a men's magazite - but it could not be tacked in a
blindingly obvious way. Certainly, one of the first things GQwas able to oflbr was a new way of writing
about sport, but this was not so much a cunning plan as a necessity .The magazine was doomed, as it were,
to offer a whole new range of freedoms to its sportwriters. Heady and rather alarming freedoms. Freedom
of vocabulary was simply the most obvious one and, inevitably, it appealed to the schoolboy within us. But
space and time were the others, and these possibilities meant that the craft of sportswriting had to be
reinvented.
Unlike newspapers, afiragazine can offer a decent length of time to research and to write. These are, you
would think, luxuries - especially to those of us who are often required to read an 800-word match report
over the telephone the instant the final whistle has gone. Such a discipline is nerve-racking, but as long as
you can get it done at all, yol have done a good job. No one expects a masterpiece under such

circumstances. In some ways the ferocious restrictions make the job easier. But a long magazine deadline
gives you the disconcerting and agoraphobic freedom to researeh, to wtite, to think.

To write a piece for a newspaper, at about a quarler of the massive GQlenglh, you require a single thought.

The best method is to find a really good idea, and then to pursue it remorselessly to the end, where ideally
you make a nice joke and bale out stylishly. If it is an interview piece, you look for a few good quotes, and
if you get them, that's your piece written for you. For a longer piece, you must seek the non-obvious. This

is a good quality in the best of newspaper writing, but an absolute essential for any writer who hopes to
complete the terri$ring amount of words thatGQrequires. If you write for GQyau are condemned to try
and join the best. There is no other way.
GQ is not restricted by the same conventions of reader expectation as a newspaper. You need not worry
about offending people or alienating them; the whole ethos of the magazine is that readers are there to be
challenged. Therewill be readers who would find some of its pieces offensive or even impossible in a
newspaper, or even in a differenl magaaine. But the same readers will read the piece inGQ and find it
enthralling.
That is because the magazine is always slightly uncomfortable to be with. It is not like a cosy member of
the family, nor even like a friend. I1 is the strong, self-opinionated person that you can never quite make up
your mind whether you like or not. You admire him, but you are slightly uneasy with him. The people
around him might not altogether approve of everything he says; some might not care for him at all. But
they feel compelled to listen. The self-confidence is too compelling. And just when you think he is
beginning to become rather a bore, he surprises you with his genuine intelligence. He makes a broad joke,
and then suddeniy he is demanding you follow him in the turning of an intellectual somersault.
L. What does the writer say about newspepers in the {irst paragraph?
A. They tend not to include articles readers will find very challenging.
B. Articles in them do not reflect the way people really speak"
Chen dOi I{SG 12-LQD20I9 Page 10/13
C. They are more concerned with profit than with quality of writing.
D. They fail to realise what kind of writing would appeal to readers.
2. What does the writer imply in the second paragraph?
A. GQ magazine contains articles that are well worth reading.
B. Some of the more recent men's magazines are unlikely to survive.

C. The standard of sportswriting in newspapers has improved in recent times.

D. He is in a position to give an objective view of sportswriting in magazines.


3. Why were sportswriters for GQ given new freedoms?
A. Some restrictions of newspaper writing do not apply to writing for GQ.
B. The magazine's initial plans for its sporls articles proved unrealistic.
C. Notions about what made good sports joumalism were changing.
D. The writers that it wanted to employ demanded greater freedom.
4. What does the writer say about the amount of time allowed for producing articles?
A. The best articles are often produced under great pressure of time.

B. Having a long time to produce an article encourages laziness.

C. Writers are seldom satisfied by articles produced in a hurry.


D. Having very little time to produce an article can be an advantage.
