Question 1 of 55
1. Question
Read the article quickly and choose the word that best describes Shanghai, according to the writer.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Shanghai , with a population of around 23.5 million, is currently the fifth of the world’s megacities. Its location on the mouth of the Yangtze River Delta in eastern China makes it one of the busiest ports in the world. The Huang Pu River, a tributary of the Yangtze, separates the historic centre of the city, the Puxi area, from the newly-developed financial and commercial area called Pudong.
On their arrival in Shanghai, visitors are hit by an explosion of sights, sounds and smells. Rents are high, and apartments tiny, so most residents prefer to hang out outside. The street is a place to eat, play, read and relax and it is not unusual to see people strolling around in their nightdresses and pyjamas. The street serves as an extension of the workplace as well. Hairdressers sit their customers on chairs outside their salons to cut their hair, and there are food stalls on every street corner piled high with delicious steamed buns filled with meat, vegetables or mushrooms.
However, it is not only the pavement that is crowded. Despite the extensive metro system – Shanghai has the third longest network in the world – the traffic in the city is terrible. During the rush hour, it can take two hours to drive a 30-minute route. In general, drivers do not like to follow the rules of the road, and they regularly ignore speed limits and traffic lights. This makes crossing the road extremely hazardous tor pedestrians, whose safety is not guaranteed even when the green man is showing. In China, road accidents are the major cause of death for people aged between 15 and 45, with an estimated 600 traffic deaths per day.
But as far as crime is concerned, Shanghai is a relatively safe city. You rarely hear of crimes being committed, although pickpockets are known to operate in crowded areas and tourists are sometimes the target for scams.
The most common of these consist of unofficial taxi drivers overcharging passengers for the ride to their hotel from the airport, or bar owners getting an accomplice to bring an unsuspecting tourist to their bar only to present him with a terribly high bill when he tries to leave. In general, however, the Chinese are very friendly to foreigners and they treat them with a lot of respect. Non-native residents usually become good friends with their Chinese neighbours, once they have got used to each other.
The city ot Shanghai offers a fusion of East and West; old and new. Visitors staying at the brand new five-star Ritz Carlton Hotel can explore the ancient Buddhist temples when they go sightseeing. Passengers travel on the Shanghai Meglev, the fastest train in the world, while messengers transport impossible loads on their bicycles. Sometimes, the contrasts can he exhausting, but one thing is certain Shanghai is a city where nobodv ever feels bored.CorrectIncorrect -

Mad Men: fact or fiction in the world of advertising today?
Many people have been introduced to the world of advertising through the American drama series Mad Men, which follows the lives of people working for an important advertising agency on Madison Avenue in New York in the 1960s (hence the name Mad Men’). However, the advertising industry has progressed and developed in many ways since then. Here are some examples of how things are different today.
1______
Sterling, Cooper, Draper, Pryce is the fictional name of Mad Men’s advertising agency and the action revolves around its creative director, Don Draper. All of the agency’s work is heavily dependent upon Draper’s creative taient and he is constantly called upon to save the day. However, his ability to instantly solve advertising problems single- handedly does not reflect what happens nowadays. In fact, advertising agencies are made up of different teams that work together and most projects are part of one massive and co-ordinated campaign. The fate of a real-life campaign rarely lies in the hands of one individual.CorrectIncorrect -

However, the advertising industry has progressed and developed in many ways since then. Here are some examples of how things are different today.2__________
Mad Men is well-known for its improvised ‘pitches’ (presentations to potential clients) that seem to come out of nowhere. Often it is Don Draper himself who suddenly manages to effortlessly transform a vague idea he has had into advertising gold. This portrayal gives the impression that the most successful approach for pitching a new idea to a potential client is to put off the work for as long as possible. This could not be further from the truth, however, and in real life it takes a lot of hard work and creative genius to make a successful pitchCorrectIncorrect -

The atmosphere at Sterling, Cooper, Draper, Pryce is one where anything goes. From long lunches to midday naps at in the office, it seems as ¡f there is never anything to be dene. In the real world, an agency’s workload can vary from one extreme to another depending on the client’s demands and the corresponding deadlines. One week, the team may have more time to play while the next they have no time to sleep. This is the nature of the job and a great deal of work goes into every single project, even though there are times when the employees are able to take a break.CorrectIncorrect -

However, the advertising industry has progressed and developed in many ways since then. Here are some examples of how things are different today.4. _________
In Mad Men, the female characters have been carefully researched so that they coincide with the views of American society at the time. In the 1960s, few women went on to further education, and those who did often became secretaries or nurses. This situation is reflected at the agency, where sexism is rife and all but one of the executives is male. The exception, Peggy Olson, is regarded as an oddball by her colleagues. Fortunately, the situation nowadays has greatly improved regarding sexism in the work place. However, still only a tiny percentage of today’s creative directors are women.CorrectIncorrect -
