Instruction: Answer questions 41 to 53 based on the following text.
Why Learning Is A New Procrastination
- The tremendous world of online courses, blogs, social media, free eBooks, podcasts, and
- webinars provides the best ever opportunity to broaden your knowledge in almost every sphere
- you can imagine. Thanks to technological advancement and the instant access to the internet,
- everyone can now study from home. It seems like it would be foolishly not to seize this
- opportunity and improve your skills and knowledge. Moreover, you are kind of forced to do so
- since the contemporary world has raised the bar higher than ever before. It literally invited you
- to gather the pace and ___________ even more.
- It is not surprising that, ultimately, you try to be everywhere and do everything. No doubt,
- you do your best to constantly gather tiny bits of information from as many channels as
- possible, because you are afraid that you will fall behind if you stop. After all, you enter a
- learning crunch mode. You do not afford to miss anything and try to read every book you could
- get your hands on. You listen to every single podcast your smartphone could download and take
- every online course your paycheck would allow to take.
- All in all, you learn. As much as possible. As intense as you manage to. You learn how to
- write and publish a new book. You learn how to launch a successful blog. You learn how to hit
- your goal on Kickstarter. You learn how to build the next “unicorn”. You learn how to land a job
- of your dream. You learn how to successfully sell thousands of items on Amazon. You learn how
- to make millions of dollars in passive income.
- However, the problem is that you do everything except taking action. All those activities do
- not take you closer to the things you want to accomplish. Better knowledge does not make you
- more influential, powerful, and successful unless you apply it. The key secret to success is not
- ________ expertise, but the ability to use it.
- Knowledge is worthless unless it is applied. Needless to say that studying is crucial.
- However, the thing is that it should take the entirely new form now. You should stop learning
- from someone else’s experiences, knowledge, failures, and wins and start learning from your
- own mistakes, adventures, ___________, and bold actions.
- Learning has become a major trend of the 21st century. Sadly, it has also become a new
- form of procrastination. You consciously postpone the first step justifying this by your eagerness
- to broaden the knowledge and learn new things. You put the start date off justifying this by
- your desire to pick up new skills that would help you succeed faster. You procrastinate over
- chasing your own aspirations because doing the things on your own and creating your own story
- of success is far more complicated than reading about someone else’s one. Meanwhile, no one
- would really reproach you for wasting your time. Also, you feel comfortable about staying within
- this zone of ease and convenience forever.
- However, the point is that you already have and know everything you need to start off. In
- fact, there is nothing more you need to learn in order to take the first step. Embrace the truth.
- No matter how good your theoretical knowledge is, you will face a lot of obstacles while
- applying it. You will have to deal with issues that have never been described or covered in any
- book. You will have to look for the solutions and make the spontaneous decisions that no one
- probably has ever thought of. You will have to design your own road to success.
- Transform your learning process from the continuous the procrastination into an
- unstoppable process of absorbing invaluable expertise based on your own experience. It might
- seem counterintuitive, but the old-fashioned way of learning is what holds you back. This is
- what makes your triumphs suck.
- Constant learning, evaluating of ideas, thinking, and visualizing your journey towards your
- major aspirations will not take you far from the place you are now. Actions will. You can sit and
- research, and research, and research, while someone else is already reaping huge rewards for
- his or her fruitful and hard work. Stop learning now. Become bold enough to take the first step
- and start learning from your own experience.

What makes a school good? (Part II)
Another reason the schools may be so successful is
the teachers. Teachers in Finland are seen as very
important. They are well respected and the field of
education is considered to be a science, with its own
methodology, theory and principles. Every teacher
studies for five years before they can teach. This is in
contrast with the status of education in many other countries. Perhaps this explains why it's actually
rather difficult to get a job as a teacher in Finland, as
well as the reason that it's such a popular job.
In order to get students' opinions about what makes a
school 'good', I visited my local school playground to
do a little informal research. The thirteen-year-olds I
spoke to were interested to hear about the Finnish
schools. I asked them if they thought British schools
were too strict and whether they thought more
students would go to university if things were
changed. Fay, one of the best students in her year,
said she didn't think British students would benefit
from a school that was too easy-going. She felt her
teachers weren't strict enough, and that was why few
students in her school went on to higher education.
So it seems that the Finnish education system has
come up with a 'formula' that works successfully in
that country. Their example can serve as a model for
other countries, but each country will have to work
hard to put together an education system that will
meet the needs of its people.

What makes a school good? (Part I)
Everyone is concerned about the quality of education
a school offers, but how is quality measured? We
often hear that schools in some countries are
excellent, while schools in other countries are filled
with problems. What factors should we be looking at to
judge how 'good' schools are or aren't? I decided to do
some research on the topic to see if I could come up
with some answers.
One way of deciding if a school is good is by looking at
how many students go on to university when they
leave. If you look at all the schools in the world, the
country which sends the highest numbers of its
students to university is Finland. So, I looked at
conditions in Finnish schools to see what made them
so successful.
Often you will hear people say that the best schools
are those that are strict. So, are the schools in Finland
very strict? The answer is no, they aren't. They are
usually very informal places with teachers and
students sharing ideas. In fact, Finnish schools have
a unique way of dealing with students and this could
be the reason why they are so successful. While
students in many countries spend long hours in school
studying boring subjects, lucky students in Finland
have short school days and ten weeks of summer
holidays.Added to that, lunch is free and there are lots
of lessons in sport, music and art.
Also, Finnish schools seem to have a different
philosophy. They believe in equality and making
school seem like a home away from home, so
students feel comfortable and enjoy going there. The
aim of the schools is not only to focus on 'good'
students but also to provide extra help to students that
need it. The result of this is that less able students do
much better in Finland than they would in other
countries.

Common Side Effects of Chemo and Radiation on kids
Chemo and radiation cause similar side effects.
Chemo's side effects depend on the type of drug used, the
dosage, and a child's overall health. These effects are more
likely to affect the whole body. Radiation's side effects, on
the other hand, tend to affect the area being treated. But
they do still depend on the dose of radiation given, the
location on the body, and whether the radiation was internal
or external. Some of them are: fatigue, flu-like symptoms,
pain, gastrointestinal problems, skin and weight changes,
hair loss, kidney and bladder problems, anemia, blood
clotting problems, neutropenia, infection. Besides that both
chemo and radiation — specifically to the head and neck —
can lead to mouth sores, sensitive gums, an irritated throat,
and an increased risk of tooth decay.
Kids with neutropenia need to take special precautions
against germs. Like all kids, they should wash their hands
well and often, especially before eating, after using the
bathroom, and after touching animals. They also need to
avoid crowded indoor places or visiting with friends or family
members who have contagious illnesses such as a cold, the
flu, or chickenpox.
Cells that help blood to clot, called platelets, are
another type of blood cell that can be affected during cancer
treatment, especially chemo. Low platelets,
orthrombocytopenia, can lead to bleeding. This may cause
small red spots on the skin, bloody or black bowel
movements, vomit, or bleeding from the nose, gums, or line
site (the area where fluids and medicines are given to people
with cancer). Kids with a low platelet count have to take it
easy to reduce the risk of bleeding. That means avoiding
rough play and contact sports (like football), and brushing
with a soft toothbrush and flossing very gently. In very
serious cases of thrombocytopenia, a child might need a
blood transfusion.
Most side effects start to go away after cancer
treatment ends and the healthy cells have a chance to grow
again. Sometimes, though, cancer treatment can cause
changes to a growing body. These long-term side effects can
include permanent damage to the heart, lungs, brain,
nerves, kidneys, thyroid gland, or reproductive organs. In
some cases, kids and teens who’ve had some types of
chemotherapy have a higher risk of developing a second
type of cancer later in life. Cancer treatment has come a long
way. But it can be hard for kids and teens to cope with the
sometimes painful or uncomfortable side effects of
treatment. Fortunately, doctors have many ways to make
treatments easier to manage.

Q1757993
Inglês
Formal and informal language serve different purposes. The tone, the choice of words and the
way the words are put together vary between the two styles. Formal language is less personal than
informal language. Informal language is more casual and spontaneous. It is used when
communicating with friends or family either in writing or in conversation. As if there wasn’t already
enough to learn when someone is trying to master the art of speaking English, an informal language
all of its own exists within this tricky tongue. This is the language of English slang: the words that
aren’t usually taught within formal English courses, but that everybody will hear all around when
people are conversing with native speakers.
