Bicycling for Recycling<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Dear Environmentally-Conscious Friend,<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

After the remarkable achievements of last year, we have again organised a\u00a0Bicycle Rally<\/strong>\u00a0to promote the recycling of\u00a0resources and usage of recycled goods<\/em>\u00a0for the protection of our environment. Unlike last year, this year, the rally will start in Werribee and will cover a slightly shorter 45-kilometre route. The reduction in distance is due to the new area being quite hilly!<\/span><\/p>\n


This year we have set ourselves the goal of raising\u00a0\u00a350,000\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>for our worthy cause. To help us do this, we have invited sponsorship from 20 large, commercial companies. If you would like to suggest a sponsor that we might not have considered, please contact us \u2013 there is no minimum donation amount. The funds raised will be used to launch our\u00a0Recycled Resources, Recycled Goods<\/em>\u00a0countrywide awareness program in the coming months. We have also contacted numerous social organisations who will help us to best utilise the funds raised.\u00a0 <\/span>
We will provide all support to participants including arranging bicycles for those who do not have one, all safety measures throughout the route, food, drinks and transportation to and from Werribee – Western, Northern and Southern suburbs will be covered.\u00a0 Here are the particulars: <\/span>
DATE: 16 June 2007 <\/span>
START TIME: 8 AM <\/span>
START POINT: Werribee <\/span>
FINISH: Beacon Park\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>
COST: \u00a312 <\/span>

Channel 2 has agreed to be our media partner and will telecast the entire rally. Don\u2019t miss your chance to be on national TV! <\/span>

You are also invited to attend a post-rally press conference at the National Press Auditorium. Contact G. Jaisin on 0425 652 254 for more details. <\/span>

The route has five designated checkpoints \u2013 Werribee, Mentone, Parade Ground, William Port and Beacon Park. The first half of the route from Werribee to the Parade Ground passes through Bush Park and continues along the Eastern Coast. This section is quite isolated so we will establish emergency stops and drink booths with greater frequency. Each booth staff member will be issued with communication equipment to report any emergency situation from all remote areas. All emergency assistance, including paramedics, will be on standby. <\/span>

Accessories:<\/strong> <\/span>

Section 2: Question 15-27<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

NURSE ASSISTANTS IN NEW ZEALAND<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Introduction:<\/strong> <\/span>
Working as a Nurse Assistant in New Zealand provides a number of unique opportunities in an interesting work environment. Nurse Assistants work with registered nurses and nursing practitioners to promote health, prevent disease and to manage public health needs. Nurse Assistants do not make independent assessments. They assist in delivering nursing care in community, residential and hospital settings.\u00a0 Over the last three years, there has been an increase in the demand for Nurse Assistants in child and aged care and public health. Qualified men and women are encouraged to consider this career opportunity. <\/span>

Certificate in Nursing Assistance:<\/strong> <\/span>
To graduate with a Certificate in Nursing Assistance, students must complete a 12-month Nursing Council of New Zealand-approved education program and pass the examination.\u00a0 Successful course completion requires attendance at 75% of all class lectures, participation in a minimum of 200 clinical hours and for all written reports to be completed satisfactorily. Applicants should be mature and healthy, both mentally and physically and their previous academic record must demonstrate the ability to manage a study environment. They should also have a keen interest in working with people and be at least 20 years of age. <\/span>

If English is not the first, or native, language an approved English language test score must be presented along with the usual character references required for all applicants. <\/span><\/p>\n

Additional Information:<\/strong> <\/span>
Certified Nurse Assistants are often the principal caregivers in nursing homes, assisting with the activities of daily living. This may include, but is not limited to, helping people in and out of bed, assisting with eating, bathing and dressing, as well as administering medications when requested to do so. As the relationship develops between the residents and their caregivers, Nurse Assistants often find that providing emotional support becomes another important aspect of their occupation. <\/span>

Because hospitals and nursing homes must provide 24-hour care, Nurse Assistants employed in these institutions can often be required to work evenings, nights, weekends, holidays and must be available for shift work. <\/span>
The workload can be very demanding and there is often some lifting of patients involved in the daily work routine. If employed in hospitals or in community care, there can also, on occasion, be exposure to some infectious diseases. <\/span>
Pay scales vary according to the area and the type of work involved. Additional information, pertaining to careers as a Nurse Assistant, can be obtained from the nearest, relevant educational institution.<\/span><\/p>\n

Read the text below and answer\u00a0Questions 21-27<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

WORK SAFETY AT MONOTON ELECTRONICS<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Fire can occur anywhere and at any time. An outbreak of fire in a large industrial building is very dangerous to everyone working in the area. There could also be the added risk of being exposed to hazardous spills and gas leaks, which significantly increases the risk of injury in a smoke-filled environment. <\/span>

United States Fire Regulations requires employers to conduct regular fire drills to familiarise employees with what to do should a fire break out. The development of an effective fire drill procedure involves both planning and practice. Studies have proven that people who plan and rehearse how they will get out of the building in a crisis are better prepared than those who do not have an exit strategy. <\/span>

Planning:<\/strong> <\/span>
The first step employers at Monoton Electronics undertake, in conjunction with their employees, is to develop an evacuation plan. The objective of the plan is to provide a set of procedures in the event of an emergency which requires the workforce to leave the building. <\/span>

Once the plan is completed, it is posted in a prominent area along with maps of the building which clearly show all entry\/exit points. Other information in the evacuation plan would include the location of the smoke alarms and fire extinguishers, where the assembly site is located, who has been appointed to account for the evacuated workers, visitors and customers as they arrive at this area and who will supervise the shutdown of critical operations. All employees are encouraged to familiarise themselves with this information. Employers should also ensure that workers know where the emergency exits are and how to use fire extinguishers. <\/span>

Practice:<\/strong> <\/span>
Practising the evacuation of a hazardous area in a fast and orderly manner can be the key to surviving a fire emergency and regular fire drills are a way of accomplishing this.\u00a0 It is recommended that every member of staff is involved in the exercise. If this is not possible, at least half the personnel in each department should be present. <\/span>

During the fire drill, the supervisors should note in the incidents register inappropriate activity such as delays in the collection of personal items, difficulties experienced by those with disabilities. If any doorways or fire escapes are obstructed this must also be noted. <\/span>

The fire drill is usually timed and after it is over, procedures are evaluated to see if there need to be any improvements made to the evacuation plan. Practice makes perfect, so it is important to repeat fire drills at least a couple of times a year – vigilance could save lives. All staff are encouraged to contact the Warden Attendant if they have any queries regarding evacuation procedures and general fire safety issues.<\/span><\/p>\n

Section 3: Question 28-40<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

From Londinium to London<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

A.<\/strong>\u00a0The history of London spans a period of approximately 2,000 years. On its way to becoming one of the present-day financial and cultural capitals of the world, momentous highs and lows have accompanied the town. By 43 AD, an early point in its history, a time when Romans had invaded Britain, it had already been a target of several external invasions. The Roman settlers there at the time named the area\u00a0Londinium<\/em>, which is commonly believed to be the origin of the present-day name,\u00a0London<\/em>. <\/span>

B.<\/strong>\u00a0Researchers believe that before the Romans, no city existed where London is today. It was just a rural area with significant richness and attractiveness in terms of natural resources and location. They base this on the fact that only very scattered evidence of farming, burial and habitation have been uncovered in the area. Early\u00a0Roman London<\/em>, which is also referred to as The\u00a0First London<\/em>, was a very small area that existed for just 17 years. Around 61 AD the Celtic-speaking Iceni tribe from Eastern Britain, who opposed the occupying forces of the Roman Empire, stormed the city and burnt it to the ground. By 100 AD it was rebuilt according to a development plan and was made the capital of the Roman province of Britannia. By the 2nd century AD, London had a population of approximately 60,000.\u00a0 In the 3rd century AD, however, due to internal troubles within the Roman Empire, the city was brought down again. By the 5th century AD, it had become an abandoned city. <\/span>

C.<\/strong>\u00a0During the next century, the area near London saw the settlement of a new race of people, the Anglo-Saxons. These people started to migrate about 1 kilometre upstream from the Roman London city. Their settlement was called\u00a0Lundenwic<\/em>, and had fishing and trading as its economic base. Disaster struck for the city in 850 AD when its defence was broken down by a major Viking1<\/sup><\/strong>\u00a0raid. However, the Viking occupation which had lasted for 20 years was overturned by Alfred the Great, the new King of England, who succeeded in establishing power via a peaceful agreement. He rebuilt the defensive wall for the city to protect his people. Gradually, as a result of contributions by the then ruling kings, London once again became an international trading centre and political powerhouse. However, in the late 10th century Vikings raided again and took control of the city and forced the ruling King Ethelred to flee.\u00a0 His army then made a counter attack and won. Thus, English control was once more established.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>

D.<\/strong>\u00a0King Canute ruled London and the adjacent countryside until his death in 1042, when his son, Edward, took control and re-founded Westminster Abbey. By this time London had already become the largest city in the whole of England. In 1066 William the Conqueror became the King of England and built a castle in the southeast part to better keep a watchful eye on its inhabitants. The later kings expanded the castle, which is now known as the\u00a0Tower of London<\/em>. During 1097 William II built\u00a0Westminster Hall<\/em>\u00a0adjacent to the\u00a0Westminster Abbey\u00a0<\/em>as a key structure in the new Palace of Westminster, which was the main royal residence all through the Middle Ages. Primarily, because of the unique administration through the\u00a0Corporation of London<\/em>, which was the municipal governing body that later became the\u00a0City of London Corporation<\/em>, London became a centre of trade and commerce and was named the capital of England in the 12th century.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>

E.<\/strong>\u00a0In 1588 the Spanish Armada sailed against England and was defeated. The defeat of the Spanish led to more political stability in England allowing London to prosper even more.\u00a0 Good times followed until tragedy struck during the middle and late 16th century through The\u00a0Great Fire of London<\/em>. Starting from a small bakery, the fire burnt to the ground, the homes of 70,000 of London\u2019s 80,000 inhabitants. Rebuilding the city would take ten long years. The middle of the 17th century was also a matter of great misfortune for London due to an outbreak of the Great Plague, which caused the deaths of almost a fifth of the population. <\/span>

F.<\/strong>\u00a0The first quarter of the 18th century saw London become and remain the world\u2019s largest city. Major developments within this period included the building of a rail network and a city metro system; the systematic development of a workforce; a local government system and other large-scale building of infrastructure. After World War II, London became home to a large number of immigrants – especially those from other parts of the Commonwealth – making London one of the most culturally diverse cities in the whole of Europe. Despite occasional set-backs – like the\u00a0Brixton Riots<\/em>\u00a0in the early 1980s – the integration of new migrants into London was comparatively smoother than other regions around the United Kingdom. <\/span>

G.\u00a0<\/strong>From the 1980s onward, some successful economic reforms and revival programs were implemented in London that significantly contributed to re-establish it as a pre-eminent international centre. Today London is considered by many to be the most important and influential city in Europe with around 32% of all foreign exchange around the world occurring in the city on a daily basis. The British government continues to devote more resources to the development of London with the people of the city now preparing to hosting the 2012 Summer Olympics. <\/span>
