Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes provided. MOTHER'S DAY Mother's Day - the day when we pay special tribute to mothers, motherhood and (1) ______maternal bonds______ in general as well as to the positive contributions that they make to society through their personal sacrifice and love and of course, for putting up with us during those (2) ______adolescent years______. How did Mother's Day come about? It had its beginning to the efforts of Julia Ward Howe, who was a (3) ______social activist_______ and the author of a song you might have heard of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic". After the Civil War, how focused her activities are the (4) _______causes of pacifism______ and women's suffrage. In 1870, she wrote her Mother's Day Proclamation asking women from the world to join for world peace. In (5) ______1872_____, she asked that Mother's Day be celebrated on 2nd June, however, her efforts were unsuccessful. Mother's Day may have never (6) _______become officially recognized______ if it hadn't been for the work of Anne Jarvis and her daughter Anna. In 1868, Anne Jarvis created a committee to establish a Mother's Friendship Day to reunite families that had been divided during the Civil War. Anne wanted to expand this into an (7) ________annual memorial______ for mothers but she died in 1905 before the celebration became popular, her daughter Anna would continue to work for her mother's efforts. On (8) ______May 12th, 1907______, Anna held a memorial to her mother and afterwards (9) ______embarked on______ a campaign to make Mother's Day a recognized holiday. She finally succeeded in making it nationally recognized in 1914 when President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation declaring the first National Mother's Day. By the 1920s, Anna Jarvis became embittered by the commercialization of the holiday, she railed against the practice of purchasing (10) ______greeting cards_______ which she saw as a sign of being too lazy to write the more personal letter. She was even once arrested in 1948 for disturbing the peace during her protest against the commercialization of the holiday. She and her sister spent the family (11) ________inheritance______ campaigning against what the holiday had become. Sadly, both died in poverty as a result. Anna Jarvis never credited Julia Howard Howe's (12) _______initial efforts______ to establish Mother's Day as a national holiday, claiming that the creation of the holiday was entirely hers. In most
2 countries Mother's Day is a recent observance (13) ______derived from_______ the holiday as it has evolved in the United States as adopted by other countries and cultures. The holiday has different meanings is associated with different (14) ______religious historical______ or legendary events and is celebrated on different dates but one thing remains the same and that's what the holiday is meant to honour the mothers whose love and sacrifice (15) _______embody______ the ideals of mother. Part 2. (10 pts) You will hear two psychology students called Luke and Susie discussing their assignment on sleep and dream. Listen and do the tasks that follow. Write your answers in the corresponding numbered boxes provided. Questions 16-19: Choose the correct answer A, B or C. Assignment on sleep and dreams 16. Luke read that one reason why we often forget dreams is that ___________. A. our memories cannot cope with too much information B. we might otherwise be confused about what is real C. we do not think they are important 17. What do Luke and Susie agree about dreams predicting the future? A. It may just be due to chance. B. It only happens with certain types of events. C. It happens more often than some people think. 18. Susie says that a study on pre-school children having a short nap in the day __________. A. had controversial results B. used faulty research methodology C. failed to reach any clear conclusions 19. In their last assignment, both students had problems with __________. A. statistical analysis B. making an action plan C. self-assessment TRANSCRIPT SUSIE: So Luke, for our next psychology assignment we have to do something on sleep and dreams. LUKE: Right. I've just read an article suggesting why we tend to forget most of our dreams soon after we wake up. I mean, most of my dreams aren't that interesting anyway, but what it said was that if we remembered everything, we might get mixed up about what actually happened and what we dreamed. So it's a sort of protection. I hadn't heard that idea before. I'd always assumed that it was just that we didn't have room in our memories for all that stuff. SUSIE: Me too. What do you think about the idea that our dreams may predict the future? LUKE: It's a belief that you get all over the world.
3 SUSIE: Yeah, lots of people have a story of it happening to them, but the explanation I've read is that for each dream that comes true, we have thousands that don't, but we don't notice those, we don't even remember them. We just remember the ones where something in the real world, like a view or an action, happens to trigger a dream memory. LUKE: Right. So it's just a coincidence really. Something else I read about is what they call segmented sleeping. That's a theory that hundreds of years ago, people used to get up in the middle of the night and have a chat or something to eat, then go back to bed. So I tried it myself. SUSIE: Why? LUKE: Well it's meant to make you more creative. I don't know why. But I gave it up after a week. It just didn't fit in with my lifestyle. SUSIE: But most pre-school children have a short sleep in the day don't they? There was an experiment some students did here last term to see at what age kids should stop having naps. But they didn't really find an answer. They spent a lot of time working out the most appropriate methodology, but the results didn't seem to show any obvious patterns. LUKE: Right. Anyway, let's think about our assignment. Last time I had problems with the final stage, where we had to describe and justify how successful we thought we'd been. I struggled a bit with the action plan too. SUSIE: I was OK with the planning, but I got marked down for the self-assessment as well. And I had big problems with the statistical stuff, that's where I really lost marks. LUKE: Right. Questions 20-25: Complete the flow chart below. Write ONE WORD ONLY for each answer. Assignment plan Decide on research question: Is there a relationship between hours of sleep and number of dreams? ↓ Decide on sample: Twelve students from the (20) _______history______ department ↓ Decide on methodology: Self-reporting ↓ Decide on procedure: Answers on (21) ______paper________ ↓
4 Check ethical guidelines for working with (22) ________humans/people________ Ensure that risk is assessed and (23) ________stress______ is kept to a minimum ↓ Analyse the results Calculate the correlation and make a (24) _______graph_______ ↓ (25) _______Evaluate______ the research TRANSCRIPT SUSIE: So shall we plan what we have to do for this assignment? LUKE: OK. SUSIE: First, we have to decide on our research question. So how about 'Is there a relationship between hours of sleep and number of dreams?' LUKE: OK. Then we need to think about who we'll do the study on. About 12 people? SUSIE: Right. And shall we use other psychology students? LUKE: Let's use people from a different department. What about history? SUSIE: Yes, they might have interesting dreams! Or literature students? LUKE: I don't really know any. SUSIE: OK, forget that idea. Then we have to think about our methodology. So we could use observation, but that doesn't seem appropriate. LUKE: No. It needs to be self-reporting I think. And we could ask them to answer questions online. SUSIE: But in this case, paper might be better as they'll be doing it straight after they wake up ... in fact while they're still half-asleep. LUKE: Right. And we'll have to check the ethical guidelines for this sort of research. SUSIE: Mm, because our experiment involves humans, so there are special regulations. LUKE: Yes, I had a look at those for another assignment I did. There's a whole section on risk assessment, and another section on making sure they aren't put under any unnecessary stress. SUSIE: Let's hope they don't have any bad dreams! LUKE: Yeah. SUSIE: Then when we've collected all our data we have to analyse it and calculate the correlation between our two variables, that's time sleeping and number of dreams and then present our results visually in a graph. LUKE: Right. And the final thing is to think about our research and evaluate it. So that seems quite straightforward. SUSIE: Yeah. So now let's ...
