A garment factory complex in Savar, Bangladesh, RanaPlaza, collapsed on 24 April 2013. The collapse of RanaPlaza, a structurally deficient eight-story building, was alocal disaster with global implications. Bangladesh is theworld’s second biggest manufacturer of ready-madegarments (RMG) after China. The industry isresponsible for nearly 80% of the country’s exports,earning $19 billion annually, or about 13% of its GDP(Gross Domestic Product). Some 4 million Bangladeshis– mostly undereducated villagers – work in the country’sRMG trade, making T-shirts and jeans for topinternational brands. Pictures of the collapse put anintimate face on what is, in Bangladesh, a crucial butpoorly regulated and often dangerous industry. In earlyJune 2013, six weeks after Rana Plaza fell, aphotographer and a reporter teamed up to trace thebackstories of the Rana Plaza survivors and victims totry to learn how they lived and died. What they found outwas that Bangladesh’s RMG workers follow a commondeveloping-world pattern: leave the familiarity of thevillage for the harsh uncertainty of the city in the hopethat higher urban wages translate into a better life fortheir families and for later generations. What setsBangladeshi garment workers apart is that they losetheir lives on the job with depressing frequency.

It can be inferred from the passage that ----.

the collapse of the Rana Plaza should have attractedmore attention worldwide

there were far more workers in the Rana Plaza thanthe building could handle

Research reveals that a changing character caninfluence life satisfaction even more than economicdisturbance. A study investigated how evolvingcharacter traits relate to life satisfaction. Researchersassessed 8,625 people aged 15 to 93 at two points, fouryears apart. They measured the Big Five personalitytraits (openness to experience, agreeableness,conscientiousness, extroversion and neuroticism) andtracked fluctuations in external aspects of subjects’lives, including marital status, income and employmentstatus. The data reveal that the participants’ characterchanged during those four years at least as much asdemographic factors, such as marital status oremployment. And those small personality shifts weremore closely tied to life satisfaction than the otherindicators were. For instance, people who grew lessagreeable reported less fulfilled in life than they had feltfour years earlier, whereas those who became moreopen reported greater contentment. This study did notattempt to find out what caused the subjects’personalities to transform, but other recent work hasshown that certain experiences can change specifictraits. For instance, psychological trauma – such as thatexperienced by combat soldiers – has been linked withdecreases in agreeableness and conscientiousness.

The study mentioned in the passage reveals that ----.

a person’s personality remains stable from earlyadulthood to old age

certain shifts in personality over time can contributeto life satisfaction

among the Big Five personality traits, openness andextroversion start to decline in old age

greater job satisfaction decreases neuroticism andincreases extroversion

personality change occurs mainly in combatsoldiers, and they become more agreeableindividuals

psychological trauma is the main reason why weexperience shifts in personality traits

what we experience as well as changes inpersonality traits have an effect on life satisfaction

demographic factors, such as marital status oremployment do not change as much as personalitytraits among older adults

Both beginners and specialists in ancient studies oftenask why bathing was so important to Roman society.This question might be an easy one, but there are noeasy and definite answers. Bathing was a significantpart of their lives, an institution rooted in the structure oftheir day. The Roman day normally reserved theafternoon for leisure. Already, by the end of theRepublic, spending the latter part of the afternoon, aftera light lunch and siesta, in the public baths had becomea tradition, a comforting part of urban life and nationalidentity. But why did bathing become a daily habit in thefirst place? The first and most important is the pleasurefactor. At its most basic, bathing is physically andpsychologically satisfying. Warm, moist air and waterrelax the body and clear the mind. Another factor thathelps account for the popularity of baths is thewell-entrenched belief in the ancient world that bathswere good for health. Bathing was considered a serioustherapeutic measure and received full support fromancient medicine. Finally there is also a basic economicexplanation.

The polygraph, or the lie detector as it is often referredto, measures autonomic nervous system activity bysensors attached to different parts of the body. Thesensors measure changes in breathing, cardiac activityand sweating. The indicators only show physiologicalchanges, usually induced by emotion. The machineamplifies signals picked up from sensors placed atspecific parts of the body. It detects not lies, but physicalchanges that are the results of specific emotions.People are asked ‘hot’ or relevant questions as well as‘cool’ or control questions. The assumption is that forinnocent people there is no physical difference in theway they respond to relevant and control questions. Theother assumption is that suspect can be identified if heor she exhibits physical changes in his or her body.Therefore, suspects who are to be tested by polygraphuse certain drugs to suppress autonomic nervoussystem activity and make any physiological recordinginconclusive. More worryingly, people can be trained todefeat the test with a range of techniques. Tests wouldtherefore not only be highly unreliable butcounterproductive: alienating and misclassifying theinnocent and letting the guilty get away without receivingthe punishment he or she deserves.

Dilek: I never thought about it like that. So, you mean

libraries actually encourage the digital age.

I am not certain whether tomorrow’s libraries will beable to offer access to the shared space of thenetwork.

Today, some libraries are being handed over tovoluntary groups or charities, so the answer of yourquestions depends on their steps.

Sooner or later, we’ll find ourselves at a point in timewhere the library will either become extinct or evolveinto something fitter for the modern age.

Definitely not. For me, they offer a lot more than justbooks; they are information centres and the Internetaccess points for a wide community.

One of the first microscopes was built by alensmaker in the Netherlands in 1590. It was asimple device with one lens. In 1625, Italian scientistGalileo Galilei made the first compound microscope.---- The magnified view appears as a so-called‘virtual image’ behind the target. Many microscopestoday also have a light source behind the target toilluminate it.

It had one lens to create an image of the target andanother to make it bigger.

While it was very useful then, it did not take long formore advanced ones to come.

Galilei, himself, did not believe that he could magnifyviews on lens.

This microscope gave the impression that it couldpave the way for new microscopes.

Microscopes have been used in a variety of fieldsincluding forensics, metallurgy and medicalmicrobiology.

Between 4000 and 2000 BC, the first urbancivilizations arose independently along the Tigris,the Nile, the Indus and the Yellow River. All of thesegreat rivers are prone to seasonal variations in flow,with flood alternating with drought. ---- Once thistechnology was developed, farmers found that theycould move into drier areas, such as southernMesopotamia.

Archaeologists have found sites where oneSumerian city was built on top of an earlier one,separated by a layer of mud swept over in a flood.

Although most humans lived in small hunting bands,some pre-farming peoples worked out a verydifferent strategy of survival.

To maximize agricultural production, it wasnecessary to build dams to store the flood waters inreservoirs to water the fields during the dry season.

Constructing such schemes required an accuratecalendar to predict when the floods would come, anda high degree of social organization.

It was here that first people first began to cultivatecrops, kick starting a global revolution in the wayhumans live.

It was only about a century ago that Jules Vernefantasized about people travelling around the worldin only 80 days. Much of what we take for grantedtoday results from technology that has beendeveloped only within the last century. Before then,change occurred slowly. ---- Travellers commonly flyfrom New York to London in six-and-a-half hours,and communications are almost instantaneous.

Demand for new products, services and technologyhas little impact on international transport.

Moreover, the cost of improved communications andtransportation has risen more slowly than the speedof travel.

But conducting business on an international levelinvolves greater distances than it did in the previouscentury.

Speed restrictions now make international businessmore expensive to undertake.

In recent years, however, the pace of technologicaladvances has accelerated at a fast rate.
