ED GARDNER - AIRLINE PILOT
At 20, Ed Gardner is too young to drive a bus in some countries. Yet he regularly flies tourists to their holiday destinations.
Ed started flying at 14 - you can't be any younger than that - before he could even drive a car. He flew unaccompanied at 16, and got his private pilot's licence on his 17th birthday. His dad's an airline pilot too, and Ed has flown with him on passenger flights since Ed became a pilot. 'He never pushed me to become a pilot, but as soon as I said I wanted to do it, he was pleased. And Dad gave me money for my training, and now I'm paying him back. He's been very helpful.'
After training, he immediately started work as a pilot for a commercial airline. The captain is the boss, but Ed's allowed to do almost the same work apart from operating the plane on the runway at the airport. When Ed first joined the airline, he flew mail to different places. Then he changed to passenger flights. 'I was excited, but you don't really get to talk to the passengers. The captain is in charge, but if they fly out on a short trip, you fly the plane back, for example.'
There are other pilots around Ed's age, but they are a bit older because they've done something else before they came to flying. But it's not everyone that can get a job so soon. Ed, who now flies regularly to Europe and Africa, says simply, 'I think I just came along at the right time!'
Question 38: As a pilot, Ed was disappointed at first that.........
A. he was asked to transport mail instead of people.
B. he sometimes got no time off before return flights.
C. he had very little contact with his passengers.
D. he couldn’t do everything the captain did on the plane.
Question 39: Ed’s father, who is also a pilot, helped Ed by.........
A. encouraging him to choose the right career for him.
B. offering to pay for all of his training.
C. letting him improve his skills in his small plane.
D. agreeing to fly with him on some passenger flights.
Question 40: The word ‘pushed’ is closest in meaning to.......
A. criticized B. persuaded forcefully C. jolted D. advised
Question 41: What is Ed Gardner trying to do in the text?
A. discuss whether teenagers should be allowed to fly planes
B. describe the work involved in becoming a pilot
C. explain why pilots should start training early for their careers
D. tell readers why he chose to be a pilot
Question 42: What would Ed write in an email to an old schoolfriend?
A. Mum was worried when I flew on my own for the first time - she even tried to convince me not to go.
B. I last saw you at my party on my 17th birthday - sorry it finished early, but I was getting my pilot’s licence the next day.
C. I used to travel miles to my first flying lessons, didn’t I? Luckily I’d got my driving licence by then.
D. I’ve checked the flight you’re on tomorrow - and I’ll be one of your pilots! Hope you enjoy it!

ARE HUMAN BEINGS GETTING SMARTER?
Do you think you're smarter than your parents and grandparents? According to James Flynn, a professor at a New Zealand university, you might be. Over the course of the last century, IQ test scores of people in some countries have gotten increasingly better - on average, three points better for every decade that has passed. This trend of improving scores is known as "the Flynn effect," and scientists want to know what is behind it.
IQ tests and other similar tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than knowledge. Flynn knew that intelligence is partly inherited from our parents and partly the result of our environment and experiences, but the improvement in test scores was happening too quickly to be explained by heredity. So what happened in the 20th century that led to higher test scores?
Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect. Some suggest that the improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general. Because we take so many tests, we learn test-taking techniques that help us perform better. Others have pointed to better nutrition, which results in babies being born larger, healthier, and with more brain development than in the past. Another possible explanation is a change in educational styles - children are encouraged to discover things for themselves; rather than just memorizing information. This could prepare people to do the kind of problem-solving that intelligence tests require.
Flynn himself suggested that learning new technologies may have improved people's problem-solving skills. This may be true for the first decade of his tests, when IQ scores in many countries increased. However, in recent years, IQ test scores in some countries have begun to decline. Data from Norway, the Netherlands, Australia, and Great Britain have shown that as these countries become more and more modern, IQ scores have begun to drop.
While scientists aren't sure what's causing this decline, they think technology is dramatically changing the way that we learn and get information. For example, people are now able to access all kinds of information very easily using online resources like Google or Wikipedia. The danger is when they start to rely too much on these sources of' information, and not do any thinking for themselves. Lifestyle changes that come with modern technology may also have a negative effect on intelligence, such as video games and television making people less social. So while the world may have gotten smarter over the 20th century, improving technology and changing lifestyles may soon reverse that trend.

A. People today don't take enough tests.
B. People today are more intelligent in every way.
C. People today have fewer problems to solve.
D. People today use computers too much.
