Read the following passage about the relationship between the climate change and turbulence. Choose the best heading for each paragraph from the list in the box. There is one heading you do NOT need.
Climate Change Will Make Flying Worse
Paragraph 1
In addition to rising seas, longer droughts, and all manner of weather nightmares, global climate change promises to make flying just a bit more hellish. British scientists ran computer models simulating the widely predicted global increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide — to see how it might affect turbulence. The short answer? Flying is going to get a whole lot bumpier.
Paragraph 2
This will trouble the airline industry, which in any given year experiences nearly 800 “turbulence encounters” that result in hundreds of minor injuries and dozens of major injuries. The study finds that light turbulence will increase by 59 percent, and light-to-moderate turbulence will increase by 75 percent. In other words, expect more spilled drinks and dire warnings to buckle up. Things get worse from there, with the incidence of increasingly severe turbulence going up, up, and up. Truly severe turbulence — jolts harsh enough to toss people around — will climb 149 percent.
Paragraph3
Don’t worry, though. Airlines are developing ways to warn pilots of trouble and stabilize aircrafts. Pilots know how to handle turbulence, of course, and get real-time updates of turbulent air from air traffic control and other pilots on the same flight path. Technology can help, too.
Paragraph4
An on-board system exists that can spot air turbulence up to 18 miles ahead of the plane. It kind of works, but it weighs a ton, isn’t terribly effective, and still costs a fortune. Unsurprisingly, there’s not so much interest from the aeronautics industry to use it.
Paragraph 5
So technology and training may mitigate the impacts of increasingly turbulent flights, but in the meantime, it may be a good idea to keep your seat belt fastened, even when the light isn’t on.
Read Questions 1-8 and Texts A, B, and C about staff turnover below. Decide which text answers each question. For each blank, choose A, B, or C that stands for the text.
Text A
STAFF ATTRITION It refers to the loss of employees through a natural process, such as retirement, resignation, elimination of a position, personal health, or other similar reasons. With attrition, an employer will not fill the vacancy left by the former employee.
Pros: It can reduce costs when an organization may be facing financial distress and is usually considered more of an amicable or cordial departure from the organization.
Cons: Reduction in size or strength of workforce; Remaining job duties can increase the work load for remaining employees.
Solution:As it is defined, organizations either do not have much control over staff attrition (e.g. retirement), or they are directly controlling attrition in a demonstrated effort to reduce costs.
Text B
STAFF TURNOVER The voluntary or involuntary loss of an employee, with the organization’s intent to fill the position vacancy. Turnover can be caused by similar reasons as attrition, but turnover is usually viewed negatively and as a burden for employers.
Pros: It can be beneficial if problematic or poor-performing employees choose to leave the organization and can be an opportunity to hire a person who is a better fit for the job and your company.
Cons: High costs associated with finding replacements (especially for more senior positions); Continuously directing efforts to training and onboarding.
Solution: By knowing your candidate’s unique characteristics before you even meet them, and objectively mapping those to the desired characteristics for the job and for the organization as a whole, you can reduce turnover and optimize employee retention.
Text C
Read the two texts below about two websites. Choose the best one from the choices marked A, B, C and D.
Text A
In January 1994, Jerry Yang and David Filo, two Stanford graduate students created a website named “Jerry and David’s Guide to the World Wide Web.” It was a directory of other websites, organized in a hierarchical manner. Later that year, it was renamed as “Yahoo.” Yang and Filo said they selected the name because they liked the word’s general definition, “rude, unsophisticated, and uncouth.” In 1996, Yahoo released its initial public offering. Initially it was only working as a search engine, but in the 1990s when the web services started becoming popular, it started diversifying into various other businesses. In 1997, Yahoo acquired an online communications company, which later became Yahoo! Mail. Yahoo also localizes its websites by region. Yahoo’s localized websites in countries where English is not the primary language are available in those countries’ native languages instead.
Text B
Google was co-founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were doing their PhD at Stanford University; it was incorporated as a privately held company in September 1998. Google made the initial public offering on August 19th, 2004. As a search engine, Google had the largest market share. To capture other areas of Internet services, Google started acquiring other companies like Orkut and YouTube. The search engine Google was originally named as “BackRub” because the system checked backlinks to estimate a site’s importance and it was originally used in Stanford University’s website with the domain name “google.stanford.edu.” The domain name “google.com” was registered on September 15th, 1997. Google indexes billions of web pages, so that users can search for the information they desire, through the use of keywords and operators. Google has also employed the Web Search technology into other search services, including Image Search.
