IELTS 

The International English Language Testing System

The IELTS is an increasingly valuable worldwide test to assess your proficiency in English. It tests all four skills - Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking. There are two options offered - Academic and General Training. The Academic option is for those who wish to undertake undergraduate or postgraduate studies in an English-speaking country, whereas the General Training option is for emigration purposes, to take a secondary course or a professional training course.
Universities in Great Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and a growing number in the USA and Europe ask for the IELTS as proof that a foreign student is able to study and live in an English-speaking country. In Brazil, when applying for a grant, it is one of the English language tests applicants are asked to present to CNPq, CAPES, FAPESP and other funding institutions, including The British Council. Not only for study purposes but also for those who wish for funding to present papers at conferences, do training courses or training programmes abroad.
A candidate may take the test more than once, however, there must be a three-month interval between one test and the next. Additionally there is no expire date, but a University or agency may ask for a more recent result if the test was taken a long time ago.

With ¹thoroughly professional staffs. The best and the newest facilities. Country locations easy to reach by highways, interstates and airports. (Dozens of flights daily and free limousine services.)

Pick the Hershey that's best for you. You'll get ²unbeatable facilities for work and play. But above all, you'll find all those things you can still trust, alive and well and living in Hershey Resorts.

TEXT

At one level, the computer is a tool. It helps us write, keep track of our accounts, and communicate with others. Beyond this, the computer offers us both new models of mind and a new medium on which to project our ideas and fantasies. Most recently, the computer has become even more than tool and mirror. We are able to step through the looking glass. We are learning to live in virtual worlds. We may find ourselves alone as we navigate virtual oceans, unravel virtual mysteries, and engineer virtual skyscrapers. But increasingly, when we step through the looking glass, other people are there as well.

The use of the term "cyberspace" to describe virtual worlds grew out of science fiction, but for many of us, cyberspace is now part of the routines of everyday life. When we read our electronic mail or send postings to an electronic bulletin board or make an airline reservation over a computer network, we are in cyberspace. In cyberspace, we can talk, exchange ideas, and assume personae of our own creation. We have the opportunity to build new kinds of communities, virtual communities, in which we participate with people from all over the world, people with whom we converse daily, people with whom we may have fairly intimate relationships but whom we may never physically meet.

(Sherry Turkle, 1995. Life on the screen: identity in the age of the Internet. Touchstone.)

Depending on the situation, having a computer may be ___________ having a telephone.

TEXTO 

1 What is beauty? Define beauty? One may as well dissect a soap bubble. We know it when we see it - or so we think.

2 Philosophers define ¹it as a moral equation. What is beautiful is good, said Plato. Poets look for high standards. Beauty is truth, truth is beauty, wrote John Keats.

3 Science examines beauty and pronounces it a strategy. "Beauty is health", a psychologist tells me. "It's a sign saying 'I'm healthy and fertile. I can pass on your genes.'"

4 At its best, beauty celebrates. From the painted Txikão Indian in Brazil to Madonna in her metal bra, humanity likes to abandon its everyday look and masquerade as a more powerful, romantic, or sexy being.

5 At its worst, beauty discriminates. Studies suggest attractive people make more money, get more attention in class and are seen as ²friendlier. We do judge people by their looks. In an era of feminist and politically correct values, not to mention the belief that all men and women are created equal, the fact that all men and women are not - and that some are more beautiful than others - disturbs, confuses, ³even angers.

6 The search for beauty is ⁴costly. ⁷In the United States last year people spent six billion dollars ⁸on fragrance and another six billion on make up. In the mania to lose weight 20 billions were spent on diet products and services - in addition to the billions that were paid out for health club memberships and cosmetic surgery.

7 The sad, sometimes ugly side of beauty: In a 1997 magazine survey, 15 percent of women and 11 percent of men sampled said they'd sacrifice more than five years of their life to be at their ideal weight. According to one study, 80 percent of women are dissatisfied with their bodies. In one of its worst manifestations, discontent with one's body can wind up as an eating disorder, such as anorexia or bulimia. Both can be fatal. ⁵Today eating disorders, once mostly limited to wealthy Western cultures, occur around the world, in countries as different as Fiji, Japan and Argentina.

8 The preoccupation with beauty can be a neurosis, and yet there is something therapeutic about paying attention to how we look and feel. "People are so quick to say beauty is superficial", says Ann Marie Gardner, beauty director of "W" magazine. "They're fearful. They say: 'It doesn't have substance.' What many don't ⁶realize is that it's fun to reinvent yourself, as long as you don't take it too seriously". 

The correct active voice for the sentence "20 billions were spent on diet products and services" (par. 6) is "People _______ 20 billions on diet products and services."
