The Benefits of a New Space Race
In October 2003 China became only the third nation to launch a human into space aboard its own rocket. Colonel Yang Liwei,
China's first taikonaut, orbited the Earth for barely a day before returning, slightly shaken, to a landing in Mongolia. It was a significant
technical achievement for a country that has been struggling to modernize its economy and its technology, and the Chinese government
trumpeted it to its people and the world. Although Yang's flight received considerable attention around the globe, what was almost
ignored is the fact that after his feet were firmly on the ground, the orbital module from his Shenzhou spacecraft continued to circle the
earth, carrying several military payloads. The module is apparently equipped both with a reconnaissance camera capable of spotting
objects on the ground about a yard long, and an array of antennas for intercepting radar and other signals from hundreds of miles away.
Despite this, Shenzhou is not something the United States should be concerned about, but should actually encourage.
China is pursuing a human space program for three primary reasons: international prestige, domestic pacification, and
industrial policy. A human space program enhances China's status as a major power, at least within the Pacific region. It also feeds
nationalist hunger among the populace, making them proud of the achievements of their country even while they realize that they live
under an authoritarian and corrupt government – bread and circuses for the masses. Finally, a Chinese “white paper” about space makes
clear that the Chinese anticipate numerous technological developments to flow from their space program. Building a space capability
requires improvements in manufacturing, computers and materials that the Chinese hope to use in other areas of their economy.
Because China is a rival to the United States, it is not in American interests to see them gain international prestige, pacify an oppressed
population, or improve their technology.
But now that China has entered the human spaceflight arena, and President Bush has proposed a new exploration plan,
America's best move might be to engage the Chinese in future cooperation in human spaceflight, such as dangling the possibility of
sending future missions to the International Space Station, and possibly even future competition in this realm as well. For several years
the Western science press has been filled with articles about China's space ambitions. Reporters have claimed that China has bold plans
for a large human spaceflight program, including everything from space stations to Moon landings. Many of these reports, however,
have generated bad translations of articles originally published in Chinese, or handwaved away the laws of physics. China's space
ambitions are in reality much less dramatic and the requirements to achieve some of these goals much higher than the press has implied.
Although most of these stories are false, it would be in America's best interest if they are true, and a shrewd strategy to encourage
China's peaceful exploration of space, with humans, is called for.
Human spaceflight is enormously expensive, even in places where labor is cheap. Despite the slow and deliberate pace of the
Chinese human spaceflight program so far, it is clear that China has spent a considerable amount of money to acquire this new
capability – nearly $2 billion. In addition to developing a spacecraft and launching four previous unmanned missions, China has also
built a new rocket, a new launch pad, and a large assembly building for integrating all of the equipment, as well as various other support
facilities, such as a tracking station in Namibia and several tracking ships. Recovery forces such as helicopters and aircraft cost
additional money. China may also demonstrate the value of spaceflight at diverting domestic attention from government oppression
and corruption. But the Chinese government is going to do this anyway with other events, such as the 2008 Olympics. As for China's
industrial policy, the United States long ago learned that the spin-off argument is a weak one; although developing spacecraft does
produce some useful technologies, it is generally inefficient. If you want a faster computer chip, then develop one; there is no need to go
to the Moon to do so. The only demonstrated payoff of human spaceflight is prestige.

Analyze the following statements regarding the use and functions of English verb tenses:
I- In the sentence “I have been writing this report all morning,” the Present Perfect Continuous is used to emphasize the duration and the ongoing nature of the activity leading up to the present moment.
II- The Future Perfect (will have + past participle) is correctly employed to describe an action that will be completed at or before a specific point of time in the future.
III- The Past Simple and the Past Continuous can be used together in a single sentence to indicate that a longer background action was interrupted by a shorter, discrete event.
IV- The “State Verbs” (or stative verbs) like know, believe, and belong are frequently used in continuous forms to indicate a temporary state of mind.

Air Traffic Controllers
The USA's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has launched a recruitment campaign aimed at gamers. The FAA
wants them to consider becoming air traffic controllers. There is a shortage of workers in the sector, so the government hopes
people skilled at gaming could fill the growing number of vacancies. The US currently needs at least 3,000 controllers. Nick
Daniels, president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, said: “Our union welcomes innovative approaches to
expanding the candidate pool, including outreach to individuals with high-level skills, such as gamers, so long as all pathways
maintain the rigorous standards required of this safety-critical profession.”
The recruitment drive has a video with an Xbox logo on it. The tag line is explicitly aimed at gamers. It says: “You've been
training for this… Become an air traffic controller. It's not a game. It's a career.” The promo adds: “You'll keep millions of people safe
every year. And make a lot of money.” The enticing salary is $155,000 a year. US Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy said the
country needs to tempt “a growing demographic of young adults who have many of the hard skills it takes to be a successful controller”.
Some current controllers have said gaming could be a useful skill. They said it had "an influence on their ability to think quickly, stay
focused, and manage complexity”.

The USA's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has launched a recruitment campaign aimed at gamers. The FAA
wants them to consider becoming air traffic controllers. There is a shortage of workers in the sector, so the government hopes
people skilled at gaming could fill the growing number of vacancies. The US currently needs at least 3,000 controllers. Nick
Daniels, president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, said: “Our union welcomes innovative approaches to
expanding the candidate pool, including outreach to individuals with high-level skills, such as gamers, so long as all pathways
maintain the rigorous standards required of this safety-critical profession.”
The recruitment drive has a video with an Xbox logo on it. The tag line is explicitly aimed at gamers. It says: “You've been
training for this… Become an air traffic controller. It's not a game. It's a career.” The promo adds: “You'll keep millions of people safe
every year. And make a lot of money.” The enticing salary is $155,000 a year. US Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy said the
country needs to tempt “a growing demographic of young adults who have many of the hard skills it takes to be a successful controller”.
Some current controllers have said gaming could be a useful skill. They said it had "an influence on their ability to think quickly, stay
focused, and manage complexity”.

Cohesion and coherence are fundamental properties of a text that ensure it functions as a unified whole. Analyze the following
statements regarding these concepts:
I- Cohesion refers to the linguistic links and cues within a text (such as pronouns, conjunctions, and ellipsis) that connect one part of the sentence or text to another.
II- Coherence is primarily concerned with the underlying semantic logic and the “make-sense-ness” of a text, often relying on the reader's world knowledge and the context of situation.
III- The use of conjunctions (e.g., however, therefore) is a mechanism of lexical cohesion, whereas the use of synonyms and superordinates represents grammatical cohesion.
IV- A text may possess high grammatical cohesion but lack coherence if the linked sentences do not follow a logical progression of ideas or fail to relate to a central theme.
Which of the statements above are CORRECT?
