Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on you answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions. 
New Zealand is a small country of four million inhabitants, a long-haul flight from all the major tourist-
generating markets of the world. Tourism currently makes up 9% of the country's gross domestic product and is
the country's largest export sector. Unlike other export sectors, which make products and then sell them
overseas, tourism brings its customers to New Zealand. The product is the country itself the people, the places,
and the experiences. In 1999, Tourism New Zealand launched a campaign to communicate a new brand position
to the world. The campaign focused on New Zealand's scenic beauty, exhilarating outdoor activities and
authentic Maori culture, and it made New Zealand one of the strongest national brands in the world. 
A key feature of the campaign was the website www.newzealand.com, which provided potential visitors to
New Zealand with a single gateway to everything the destination had to offer. The heart of the website was a
database of tourism services operators, both those based in New Zealand and those based abroad which offered
tourism service to the country. Any tourism-related business could be listed by filling in a simple form. This
meant that even the smallest bed and breakfast address or specialist activity provider could gain a web presence
with access to an audience of long-haul visitors. In addition, because participating businesses were able to
update the details they gave on a regular basis, the information provided remained accurate. And to maintain
and improve standards, Tourism New Zealand organised a scheme whereby organisations appearing on the
website underwent an independent evaluation against a set of agreed national standards of quality. As part of
this, the effect of each business on the environment was considered. 
To communicate the New Zealand experience, the site also carried features relating to famous people and
places. One of the most popular was an interview with former New Zealand All Blacks rugby captain Tana
Umaga. Another feature that attracted a lot of attention was an interactive journey through a number of the
locations chosen for blockbuster films which had made use of New Zealand's stunning scenery as a backdrop.
As the site developed, additional features were added to help independent travelers devise their own customised
itineraries.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on you answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions. 
People think children should play sports. Sports are fun, and playing with others. However, playing sports
can have negative effects on children. It may produce feelings of poor self-esteem or aggressive behavior in
some children. According to research on kids and sports, 40,000,000 kids play sports in the US. Of these,
18,000,000 say they have been yelled at or called names while playing sports. This leaves many children with a
bad impression of sports. They think sports are just too aggressive. 
Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches, are the main cause of too much aggression
in children's sports. They believe children copy aggressive adult behavior. This behavior is then further
reinforced through both positive and negative feedback. Parents and coaches are powerful teachers because
children usually look up to them. Often these adults behave aggressively themselves, sending children the
message that winning is everything. At children's sporting events, parents may yell insults at other players or
cheer when their child behaves aggressively. As well, children may be taught that hurting other players is
acceptable or are pushed to continue playing even when they are injured. In addition, the media makes violence
seem exciting. Children watch adult sports games and see violent behavior replayed over and over on
television. 
As a society, we really need to face up to this problem and do something about it. Parents and coaches
should act as better examples for children. They also need to teach children better values. They should teach
children to enjoy themselves whether they win or not. It's not necessary to knock yourself out to enjoys sports.
Winning isn't everything. In addition, children shouldn't be allowed to continue to play when they are injured.
Sending a child with an injury into a game gives the child the message that health isn't as important as winning.
If we make some basic changes, children might learn to enjoy sports again.
