Part 2
You are going to read a newspaper article about ancient rock art. For questions 8-15
choose the answer (A, B, c or D) which you think íits best according to the text.
Mark your answers on the separate answer sheet.
C areless tourists sc a r ancient alpine ro ck art
T
ens of thousands of ancient pictures carved into the
rocks at One of FranceTs most ímportant tourist
sices are being gradually destroyed. Sciencỉsts and
researchers fear that the 36,000 drawíngs on rocks in
Mont Bego ín the French Alps are being damageđ so
6 rapidíy that they wili noc survive for íuture generations.
The mountain, believed to have once been a sìte for

prayer and worship> ís scattered with 4,000-year-old
drawings cut into ba re rock. They include pictures of
cows with horns, cultívated fields and various gods and
goddesses. But a$ the popularity of the site íncreases, the
pictures are being ruined by thoughtỉess graffiti.
Jean Clottes is the chaírman of the International
Committee on Rock A rt. He says, ‘People think that
because the pictures have been the re so long they wi!l
aỉways contínue to be there. But ỉf the đamage continues
ac thís rate there will be nothing left in 50 years.’
He describes seeing tourists stamping on the drawings,
wearing away the rock and deíìnition of the artwork as
they do so. Some visitors, he says, even chop off parts to
take home as souvenirs.
*When people think theỵ can’t take a good enough
photograph> ứiey rub the drawings to get a clearer
picture’ he said. The drawings are polished by ứie
weather, and íf the sun ỉs shining and the vísitors can’t
see them properly they simpỉy rub and scrape them to
make them look íresher.1
O ther researchers describe how peopỉe arrive carryíng
long sticks with Sharp ends to scratch their own
drav/ings, or even cheỉr namest in the rocks.
But experts are divỉded over the best way to preserve
the drawings. Henry de Lumley, director of the Museum
of Naturaỉ History ìn Paris, believes thac the onỉy way to
5ave the site is to turn the vvhole mountaín into a
"no-go* area, preventìng the public from going there
except on guided tours. Othen^vise, he says, not only will
the site be completely destroyed but ỉmportant research

w ork wỉll be reduced.
Ciottes dísagrees. The measure proposed by Henry
de Lumley is the most severe, and while it ỉs the most
effective? it is also certain to bring about protests from
people who live there»’ he saỉd. ‘The site was classỉíied as
a historỉc monument years ago by the Ministry of
Culture, and we must do as much as possible to save
what is there.’
David Lavergne, the regional architect, also wants to
avoid closíngthe site. *Henrỵ de Lumley’s idea isrVt ideal»
he said. ‘O ur department feels that the best solution is
co let people look at the site, but because the area ís
very big ic ís difficult to prevent visitors from damagìng
ỉt. I would preíer that everyone was abie to look at it,
but the main problem is fĩnancỉa!.We do not have the
funds to employ the necessary number of guards. We
may have to consider charging a fee. There seems to be
no prospect of government íundíng.’
ỉn Nice, Annie Echassoux, vvho also worked on
r«searchỉng the site* is alarmed that as the mountaìn
becomes easier to reach - tourỉsts can now ayoid the
three-and-a-half-hour walk by hiring vehỉcỉes - the
damage will increase rapidly, She thinks that the only
solution is to rope off the area and provide guides.4You
can’t say the plan carft go ahead because there is no
money»' she saíd. That is not good enough, Money must
be províded because the Minístry of CuIture has
classiííed this area as a hìstoric síte. we don’t take
steps, we will be responsỉble for losing the drawings for
the next generation.’

8 What does ‘they’ reter to in líne 6?
A the rocks
B the French Alps
c the dravvings
D the tourist sites
9 Jean Clottes says that people who visit the mountain
A do not believe the dravvings are old.
B betieve they are allowed to paint tiiere.
c think the drawings shoulđ be left alone.
D assume the drawings wil! not change.
10 According to Clottes, some of the visitors to the area have
A helped to clean the dravvings.
B taken bits of the rock home.
c been unable to take photographs.
D misunderstood what the pictures mean.
11 Henry de Lumley is keen to
A set up research projects.
B sateguard public rights.
c keep out individual visitors.
D ban traffic in the area.
12 Cíottes disagrees with Henry đe Lumley's suggestion because he thinks
A il won’t work.
B visitors will protest about iỉ.
c he has a better idea.
D it will annoy local people.
13 David Lavergne would prefer to
A limit the number of visitors to the site.
Đ arrange security to protect the site.
c reduce the overaỉl area of the site.
D use tourist fees to tinance repairs on the site.

14 Which word best describes Anrsie Echassoux’s attitude?
A determined
B despairing

D understanding
15 This articie has been vvritten about Mont Bego to

netball captain.
Kendra Slawinski is captain of
England's netball team. when I met her,
she'd had a typical day for the weeks
leading up to next month's W orld
Championships: a day's teaching at a
local school followed by a training

session in the local supermarket car park.

'M y whole life now is all about making

Cbampions
' These are her fourfh World
ìips and they are guaranteed
to be the biggest ever, with 27 nations
ỉaking part.
'W e'll have home support behind ưs,
which ỉs so special/ she says. 'And
it's important that the reputation of
netball in this country should be
improved. i is ii A home crowd will
íĩĩUịìUìd

have expectations and gỉve more
support. People will expect us to start the
tournament with a good game.'
Their first game is against Barbados
and it comes immediately after the
opening ceremony. 'Ị tô They have
i/AịlỉĩẤiiịi
lots of ability.'
The England team are currently ranked
íourth in the world. But, as Kendra points

our, fhe World Championships will be
tougih. "You have to push yourselí to play
e o dì day, tfiere's no rest between games
cs ‘m a series. And you can still win an
rểm notional series if you lose the first
game.
In the fifteen years since she has been
píoying at top level, the sport has become
harổer, faster. On court, players are more
aggressive. 'You don't do a ll that training
r>ot to come out a w inner/ says Kendra.
■ I ~ | We're all íriendlier after the
ga me.
Netbaỉl is also taking a far more
scientiíỉc approach to íitness testing,
'It is essentíal that we all think and train
like world<lass players/ says Kendra.
< n —
a a g I see my role as supporting
and encouraging íhe rest of the team.'
'From the very begínrúng, my netball
career ha$ always been careíully
planned/ she says. '
Doubíless she will coach young píayers in
fhe Kiture, but at the moment her eyes are
firmly set on her last big event. As
she leads out her team in the opening
candlelight ceremony, she is more than
likely to have a tear in her eye.

A Bưt the championships are different
because there's only one chance and
you have to be ready to make the
most of it.
B In fact, some of them help me with
my speed and ball-skills training.
c But once the final whistle b!ows, you
become a different person.
D So I took the decision some time ago
that this compeíition would be the
end of it as far as playing is
concerned.
E l'm on a strict timetable to gain
maximum fitness for them.
F As far as l'm aware, we have always
beaten them, but theyll be exciting to
play.
G As captain, I think it's important that
I have a strong meníal attitude and
lead by example.
H As a result of playing here, there will
be more pressure than we're used to.
I l'm too involved in what l'm doing
- concentrating on my movements
and my feet - to see anything else.

irst impres5Ìons are often lasting ones. Studies
sfw>w that people form impressions about
J5 wrthir> the first few minutes of meeting. They
oúserve how we dress, oưr eye contact, our
oođy movement and how fast or slowly we talk,
our volume and tone of voice as well as our
actual words.
lẩary Pearce studied to be a teacher. She says, 'ì
worked hard to earn my degree. When I finally
graduated I was very coníident.' She applìed fo r a
job at a nearby primary school and got an
intervievv w ith the Head Teacher. 'I noticed a small
hole in my jacket that m orning,' she recalls. 'J
would have changed, but I knew it vvould make me
late, and I alvvays think it's im portant to be on
tm e .' Mary did n't get the job. In fact, one o f her
friends who also teaches at the school toid her the
Head Teacher*s only comment wasr 'lf someone
doesn't take the tim e to present her best image at
an interview, what kind o f teacher is she going to

be?'
As Simon Grartt, hotel manager, says: 'lntervỉewees
who look as if theỵ ca re about themselves are more
lìkely to care about their jobs. People thin k it's
what's inside that counts, but in an intervievv ỵou
should aim to come across in the best possible
way.'
Yet many people ignore the ìmportance o f
having a professional image. For example, Janet
Goodwood worked for ten years as an
admínistrative assistant in a large accounting ỉirm .
When the office manager retired, she applied for
the position but wasnJt even given an intervievv.
'I though t it was a mistake so I asked the Director
of Personnei vvhat had happened/ she says,
‘He told me I did n't fit the image of an office
manager. He suggested I improve my wardrobe
beỉore I appíied again for promotion, I was
shocked. I do a very good job and the way I dress
shouídn't make any dỉfference.'
Movement and gestures w ill also influence an
interviewer's first impression of a candidate.
Psychologist Albert Mehrabian has discovered
that 7% of any message about oưr feelings and
attitudes comes from the words we use, 3B% from
our voice and â surprising 55% from our
■faáal expressions. When our facial expressions and
our words send diffe rent messages the
listener will put more weíght on the non-verbal
message, So make sure your words agree wíth your

body íanguage. Mixed messages w ill only coníuse
the intervìewer.
It is also im portant not to appear too desperate
for the job or too eager to please. w h en sheila
Rice, a m arketing specialist, applied fo r a
promotion her intervfew went so well she was
oítered the job on the spot. 'I was d elighted/ she
recalls. 'But I reacted to the offer w ith too much
enthusiasm, Once the boss sensed how excited I
was, he knew I wasn't going to turn him down.
Consequently, he offered me a lovver salary than
rd hoped for. I'm sure I could have got more had I
managed to control my excitement.'
Finally, a consideration of what we say and how we
say it wil| contribute to the success of an
intervievv. Davỉd Artesio, the manager o f an
employment agency, suggests that it's a good iđea
to inform yourselí about the company beíore
you go for an interview. 'The annual report, for
example, will tell you about areas of company
involvem ent. M ention an area th a t interests
you during the interview. This w ill give a positive
note and convince others o f your interest in
the company/
Business consultant Marian Woodall suggests you
have a few questions ready and avoid speaking
in long, coníused sentences. As she puts ít, 'Poor
communicators ta lk in paragraphs. Successíul
communicators talk in short sentences and even in
highlighted points.’
