Whydosomestarshirephotographersto“surprise”theminaprivatemoment?
Promoting the StarsPublic relations (PR) is the business of promoting a
person, company, product or idea by generating media
and public interest. And personal publicists to the stars
seem to have the easiest job in PR because “getting
ink” (receiving media coverage) for celebrities is
seldom a problem. In fact not surprisingly, in this age
of tabloids, paparazzi, mobile-phone cameras and
especially the Internet, there’s often too much “ink”,
and it’s not always positive or to the stars’ liking.
That’s why a big part of a celebrity publicist’s job is to
help stars respond to false, damaging or embarrassing
articles and photos. This can be done directly, such as
by releasing a statement responding to the published
information. Or a more subtle approach can be taken
by gradually shifting attention to different, positive
aspects of the stars’ lives, such as their involvement
with charitable or social causes.
In addition, some stars and their publicists have found
a way to try to control coverage and to beat the tabloids
at their own game: they hire their own photographers
or give paparazzi advance notice so they can “catch”
a star in a supposedly private moment. The editor of
an American gossip magazine recently estimated that
about half of the celebrity photos we see fall into this
category. According to an article in the respected
business newspaper, The Wall street Journal, examples
of these carefully orchestrated fake paparazzi moments
include photos of Gwyneth Paltrow leaving hospital
with her first baby and the world’s first glimpse of Tom
Cruise with his wife, Katie Holmes.
Of course, many celebrities claim not to care about
their public image or what the tabloids print. But for
those who do care, publicists are essential.

Government Funding for the Arts
In Britain, it has always been customary for the government to provide financial support for the arts. 1. , some people wonder whether it is time to end this custom.2. most people don’t benefit directly from arts funding, and many never take advantage of this help. 3. , government funds for the arts means less money for essential services, 4. schools, health care, public transport and the police.5. , in comparison with those services, arts funding accounts for only a small portion of the government budget. Yet even that amount helps Britain to preserve its artistic heritage and nurture new generations of artists. 6. , arts funding allows many museums to offer free entrance, creates job opportunities and helps promote tourism.
In conclusion, 7. the arguments against government arts funding, I believe it should continue. The funding provides many benefits, and the arts are crucial for our culture and society.

Surprisingly, leisure activities accounted, on average,

Some people 1. have to laugh / must laugh /

The former environmental studies lecturer knew long
ago that one of the ways we 3. can’t reduce /
can reduce / could reduce our personal carbon footprint
is to cut down on our rubbish. That means following
what some environmentalists call “the three Rs”:
Reduce, Recycle and Reuse. Reduce your purchases,
recycle anything possible and reuse food waste to
make compost. In addition, environmentalists insist on
repairing or donating items that you 4. can’t recycle /
shouldn’t recycle / could have recycled.
Schiavo succeeded in reducing the amount of rubbish he 5. should have thrown / would have thrown /
must have thrown into the bin. After following a
zero-rubbish lifestyle for 16 years, a typical month’s
worth of his rubbish 6. must fit / might fit / could fit into
a small paper bag.

There’s no doubt that the Internet has got environmental
benefits. E-mails, for instance, save on paper, electricity
costs for processing ordinary letters and the fuel needed
to pick up and deliver them. Online purchases mean
fewer car trips to shops. As we increasingly get more
news and music online, energy costs of producing
and transporting newspapers, magazines and CDs are
being reduced. And video-conferencing brings together
people who, a few years ago, couldn’t have met without
travelling long distances.
But online activity itself has definitely got a carbon
footprint. You might be surprised to learn that, according
to a recent study, the information technology industry
emits approximately 2% of the world’s CO2 (carbon
dioxide), creating about the same amount of greenhouse
gases as the global airline industry.
The culprit, of course, is the electricity needed to run the
huge server computers of Google and other data centres,
which are, says researcher Evan Mills, “among the most
energy-intensive facilities imaginable”.
But what does this mean for the average computer user?
Estimates are that every 15 minutes we spend online
performing a Google search or viewing web pages can
generate up to 10 g of CO2. This is about two-thirds of the
amount created by boiling a cup of water in an electric
kettle. And players of online virtual-reality games can
use nearly the same amount of electricity in one year as
a typical citizen in Brazil uses over the same period.
With more than 200 million Internet searches performed
each day, billions of web pages being viewed and new
online services such as Twitter gaining in popularity,
many scientists believe it’s time to find ways to cut down
the Internet’s environmental cost.

source of 2. that helps
provide power to the gym. Specially-designed
exercise machines capture the electrical energy

Of course, the 4. of energy

Do you neglect responsibilities whenever you have the
urge to spend time online? Do you feel depressed if
you’re away from a computer game for too long? Do you
lie about the amount of time you spend online? Is your
virtual social life more important than your real social
life? If so, they may be signs that you have an Internet,
gaming or computer addiction – now commonly called
Internet addiction.
Since the mid-1990s, when the problem first began to
be widely discussed among mental-health professionals,
comparisons have been made between excessive
computer use and addictions to gambling, drugs or
alcohol. There are differences, though, especially as
Internet addiction doesn’t usually involve losing money
or pose an imminent threat to one’s physical health.
Moreover, many experts say that an Internet addiction
diagnosis shouldn’t be based mainly on the amount of
time devoted to the activity. Instead, they say, what must
be examined is the negative effect the activity has on
someone’s life. Someone who stays home from school
or a job in order to remain online, for instance, or who
gains emotional satisfaction only from their gaming or
virtual social life, should be considered an addict.
Internet addiction is not yet accepted as a mental disorder
by the American Psychiatric Association or similar
professional organisations elsewhere (though it may soon
gain official recognition in China). Despite this, a wide
range of treatments is already available for it, including
rehabilitation programmes in South Korea, China, the
USA and other countries. Critics may point to this as
proof that addiction specialists are already benefitting
from creating a new group of patients to treat.
But that probably doesn’t matter to sufferers like 19-year-
old Ben Alexander who, in September 2009, was the first
patient at ReSTART, a treatment centre in the USA. He
didn’t finish university because of his inability to limit
the amount of time he spent playing the video game
World of Warcraft. Hopefully, ReSTART will enable
Ben to regain control of his life.

Too Much Self-Service Online?More and more business is being conducted online, from banking to booking travel tickets. While many people like this trend, I think it has disadvantages for the consumer.First of all, a credit or debit card is usually needed 1. make online purchases. 2. , people who lack these cards can’t take advantage of Internet deals such as low-priced plane tickets.Second, the ability to print boarding passes or tickets at home is presented to consumers as an advantage – but it is also an inconvenience 3. it costs us time and money for the ink and paper. Finally, online orders are often difficult to change, and customer service is not always readily available. 4. , some people are nervous about making online purchases. All in all, I don’t think that consumers who do their business online are always treated well. Consumers should let companies know when they don’t like this self-service approach.
