Making money out of other people's fame is a highly specialised skill, but one that can bring great rewards to those who practise it
proficiently. Marianne Beretoli is one of those people; she owns a company which sells information about celebrities to other
celebrities as a kind of careers advice service. Although she was born in France, she used to dream of moving to the USA,
specifically Hollywood. Whilst studying business at university Beretoli was known for her innovative approach to applying
theory to practice and she would often challenge the ideas of her tutors. When she had graduated, Beretoli worked in Paris and
tried unsuccessfully to set up her own marketing agency. Then she decided to move to the USA and within months realised that
she had made the right decision. She moved from Paris to Los Angeles in 1995 and after she had been working as an assistant for

Until the beginning of the 1990s western psychologists had not systematically studied the human desire to be famous. However,
in the few years up to this time the amount of celebrity news in the media had been increasing dramatically. Scientists at various
US universities then started to investigate the reasons why some humans seem to be driven to become famous, while others have
no interest in attracting the limelight. Extensive research with people from different cultures led to the conclusion that people who
desire fame are not the same people who want to be rich. The former group may have some desire for social acceptance based on
previous experiences in their lives, it seems that many of these people used to find it difficult to make friends when they were
younger or they didnt use to receive praise or recognition from their parents. The psychologists believe that it is likely that these
people would often demand attention from others as teenagers and this desire has remained in adulthood and is now expressed as
a longing to be famous. Conversely, those who want to be rich are much more focused on the future than the past; in contrast to
the former group, the study found that many of this group had learned from their parents that success is generated by hard work
and that their friends and family had always encouraged them to strive for the best in life. These conclusions suggest that there is
a link between our upbringing and how we measure our success.

98. What is one of two explanations in which some people may want to be famous?
A) They had a desire to please their parents.
B) They want to copy celebrities they see in the media.
C) They did not receive enough attention from their parents in their youth.
D) So that they can be rich in the future.

99. What did the scientists do in order to reach their conclusions?

A) They analysed the increase in celebrity news in the media,
B) They surveyed culturally diverse sections of population.
C) They investigated different universities,
D) They interviewed psychologists.

100. In the study, how were the people who want to be rich different from those who want to be famous?
A) Their parents helped them to be successful,
B) People close to them had urged them to do well,
C) They measured their success by focusing on the future,
D) Their parents taught them about business.

Marriage is one of the oldest human institutions and this is as true in Indian culture as anywhere else. In India marriage, called
Kanyadana or donating a virgin, is thought of as the greatest sacrifice that a father can make and for the groom as an
obligation to perpetuate his bloodline. Many people believe that a marriage is still binding after death. In early times girls were
thought to be ready for marriage after puberty and later even children could be married. Divorce and remarriage were not always
possible. By Medieval times Marriage was compulsory for girls, who very often married between the ages of eight and nine.
Among those able to afford it, polygamy was common and rulers would often have one wife from their own region and other
minor wives from other areas. Now, divorce and remarriage is possible and non-Muslim Indian men can only have one wife.
Although are many regional variations, some features of the Indian wedding ceremony are similar throughout the country. In
general weddings are very complicated events and involve long negotiations about dowry payments prior to the event. After this
has been decided a day is chosen by asking an astrologer to find a lucky day. Preparations begin early because a marriage is not
only one of the highlights a persons life, but a large and complex social gathering to organize. The night before, the bride, her
friends and female relatives gather together for a party called a mehendi, where they paint each others hands and feet with
Henna and dance and listen to music. Her guests often give the bride advice about married life and tease her about her future
husband. Weddings are traditionally held at the brides home or in a temple, but parks, hotels and marriage halls are becoming
increasingly popular. On the day a wedding altar or mandapa is built and covered in flowers. All of the wedding ceremony will
be held in the altar. The clothing a couple wear on their wedding day varies between regions and ethnic groups. Women most
commonly wear a sari. The bride wears a lot of jewelry as this symbolizes the prosperity she will bring to her new family. In the
South wearing flowers is common. The groom wears traditional costume or a suit. Turbans are also popular headgear. The
ceremony begins with a mixture of tumeric, sandlewood paste and oils being applied to the couples face and arms. In the past this
was done to the whole body, but now it is only symbolic, with only a little being rubbed on. Then they are showered in flowers.
After this they perform the rituals that will make them man and wife. First they garland each other and then take seven symbolic
steps together representing seven gifts and seven promises. Finally they say the vows and then they are legally married. The
brides father or guardian takes her hands and puts them in her husbands giving her to him. Now she is no longer a member of
her fathers family, but a member of her husbands. They then touch the feet of their elders for luck. After the wedding ceremony,
the couple go to the grooms house. The bride should be careful to enter the house right foot first for luck. In the evening and late
into the night the families and their guests celebrate with dancing, music and food.

The power of the wind has been used for centuries to directly drive various machines to perform such tasks as grinding wheat or
pumping water. Recently, however, the wind has joined other natural forces such as water and steam as a viable method of
generating electricity. Traditional means of electricity generation using coal or oil-fueled plants have two major drawbacks; they
pollute the environment and the fuels they use are inefficient and non-renewable. In response to growing environmental
awareness there have been calls for a greener alternative. Nuclear power, while more efficient and less polluting, is seen by many
people as unacceptable, because of the danger of accidents such as those that happened at Chernobyl or Three Mile Island. Wind
power, however, is clean, renewable and, with modern advances, surprisingly efficient. In the 1970s Britain was in the forefront
of research into wind power. The interest in wind diminished in the 1980s due to cheap North Sea oil, a strong pro-nuclear lobby
and pricing structures that made it uneconomical to set up wind farms. Britain, the windiest country in Europe, had to wait until
1991 for its first wind farm. Located at Delabole in Cornwall, the farm was originally the idea of locals who opposed the
construction of a nuclear power plant nearby and decided to set up a private company to generate power for the area using the
wind. They had to fight opposition from local government and other local residents, who thought the turbines would be noisy and
might interfere with television signals, but eventually, after showing local officials working wind farms in Denmark, they won
and now there are 10 huge white wind turbines on the Delabole hills. It is in Germany and Denmark that the greatest advances in
wind power have come. Germany alone produces half of the wind generated electricity in Europe. Every year Germany adds 400
Megawatts (Mw) of capacity. In 2000 alone capacity expanded by 1669 Mw. Denmark now produces 30% of its electricity from
wind power and this is predicted to rise to 50% by 2010. Both countries have encouraged this growth by fixed feed tariffs
which guarantee a good price for private wind power operators. The UK is catching up and the government has set a target 10%
of all electricity to come from renewable sources by 2010, half of this to be from wind power. The 900 wind turbines in operation
generate 400Mw of electricity and to meet the target roughly 400Mw will need to be added each year. With the advances in
technology this is technically possible. Each turbine can now produce 400 Kilowatts (KW) compared to only 70 KW at the start
of the 1980s. It will, however, need help from the government. This is being done by offering financial support and giving private
power companies targets to meet. Because many people feel wind farms spoil the view and, also, because the wind is stronger at
sea, many wind farms are now being built offshore. They are usually built a few kilometres off the coast in shallow water. The
construction and maintenance costs are higher, but electricity output is higher. The first in Britain was built in 2000 at Blyth, north
of Newcastle, and was the largest in the world until May 2001, when a 20 turbine farm was opened at Middelgruden off
Copenhagen. There are plans to construct up to 18 more in the UK by 2010. Together they will produce 800 Mw of electricity
annually. The use of wind power is far less advanced in the USA. Only .5% of Americas power comes from the wind, although it
is estimated that this could be increased to as high as 12% with no changes to the power grid. However, there is an increased
interest in wind power. There are plans to build a huge offshore wind farm off the coast of Cape Cod on the North East seaboard.
The farm will take up over 25 square miles, have 170 turbines and produce 420Mw at a cost of $600m. If constructed, it will be
the worlds second biggest wind farm, after the 520Mw farm planned in Ireland
