Decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F). (10 pts) 1. The speaker compares face-blindness to the inability to hear. F 2. Scientists do not understand how normal people remember faces. T 3. The face-blind subjects could not distinguish between the faces or the objects. F 4. Some people with this condition are so severely affected that they cannot recognise members of their own family. T 5. It could help scientists to understand human evolution if they knew more about face-blindness. T TRANSCRIPT MC: This week's All in the Mind examines an unusual condition you may never have heard of before: Prasopagnosia. Here's Professor Alexander Sharma to explain. PROFESSOR: Hello. Well, let's start with an image some of you may be familiar with: a painting called The Son of Man by the surrealist artist René Magritte. In the picture, an apple floats in front of a man's face, covering the features that would normally allow him to be recognized. The painting perfectly illustrates the concept of Prasopagnosia, or face blindness. To people with this condition, as soon as someone leaves their sight, the memory of that person's face is blank or, at best, a set of jumbled features. (Q3) Face blindness is a little like tone deafness. (Q1) The tone can be heard or the face seen, but distinguishing between different tones or faces is nearly impossible. The effects of Prasopagnosia can be so severe that people who are greatly affected can't recognize their own parents or children. (Q4) If we understood how the normal brain recalls faces, we would be well on the way
2 to understanding this strange disorder. (Q2) It might also help us to understand human evolution, since the ability to recognize faces is more or less equal to the ability to recognize individuals. (Q5) Part 2. Answer the questions by writing NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS AND/OR NUMBERS for each answer. (10 pts) 1. Besides being dangerous, what is bungee jumping considered? a challenging adventure 2. What has the guide attempted to do to be recognized as the a jumpmaster? (over) fifty/50 jumps 3. What has not been recorded by the Zambezi Adrenaline Company yet? a/ any casualty 4. What can the sudden movement during the jump do harm to? back and eyeballs 5. What will not be provided by the company after the form is duly signed? a refund  TRANSCRIPT Hello, everyone. My name is Owen Wallace, and I am the manager and guide at the Zambia Drenilin Company. I am going to talk about Bungee Jumping before you take the plunge tomorrow morning. I can see you are all full of excitement and fear at the moment. People may tell you that Bungee Jumping is a challenging and dangerous adventure. After all, you've got to be crazy to fling yourself down the side of a cliff or from a bridge. However, as someone who has recorded more than 50 jumps from this bridge before joining the company as a Jumpmaster, I can tell you that it's the most exhilarating feeling in the world. Now, you should rest assured that this experience will be safe for two reasons. The first is the company. We are a reputable company and have the best equipment and know-how. The second reason is that there are next to no chances of an accident. Since its inception, the Zambia Drenilin Company has never had a casualty. However, quite a few strange myths are doing the rounds about Bungee Jumping. One is that your back is going to snap because of the jerk, and another is that your eyeballs are going to pop out. These myths are propagated by people who are too scared to jump themselves. Trust the Jumpmaster and do what he says. Usually, the standard headfirst dive is advised for beginners. Once you are accustomed to jumping, you can go for backflips or inward tucks. If you change your mind before the jump, there is no need to worry. You will get a refund until the time you sign the indemnity form at the site before the jump. However, once you sign up, you will not be refunded. The Cozy Cafe on the bridge itself is an ideal place to pep yourself up with a cold drink or a snack if you are in the mood, after the jump, of course. The cafe also gives you respite from the heat; it can get sweltering at times.
3 Bungee Jumping is an experience of a lifetime. So go out there and embrace the challenge before you. If you have any questions, you can contact the staff or me at the Zambia Drenilin Company. Enjoy your jump! Part 3. (10 pts) You will hear an interview with a writer called Barry Pagham, who writes crime novels.

Barry, you’ve written a number of best-
4 selling crime novels, but you wrote other things before that, didn’t you? Barry: Yes, my first published novel was a spy thriller. I really wanted to write, and crime would’ve been my first choice, but it wasn’t such a respected genre back then. I read a newspaper article that said there was a shortage of classy spy thrillers and thought I could write one. To my great amazement, it was published, but, of course, it flopped completely; so I wrote a second one, which also made little or no impact. The upside was that I’d established that I was able to write, which would stand me in good stead later. I’ve now bought back the rights, though, so that I can keep those titles out of print; they’re really not up to much. Interviewer: So, your first big break came with the rather spooky novel Transgression? Barry: Yeah. That one veered on crime in that someone actually committed one. But it wasn’t a crime novel as such; more a horror story, really. I wrote it as a kind of one-off book, but then my publishers said to me: ‘You know, we can build your name up if we pigeonhole you as horror,’ and at that time, horror was in the ascendant. I was grateful to have a publisher who was enthusiastic and went along with the idea. It was a false trail though because five books later, the genre had gone into decline, and crime was starting to become fashionable again, and I was in the wrong pigeonhole! Interviewer: So what did you do? Barry: I asked my publishers to reposition me as a crime-thriller writer, but they were resistant to the idea. Although they said they wanted crime, they actually kept marketing my 'horror' tag. I got very fed up with them. I was halfway through a two-year publishing contract, so I was tied. It was my agent who eventually talked me into biting the bullet and just writing a crime novel. It was a chancy thing to do and very, very traumatic because I could easily have ended up without a publisher. Luckily, they liked the novel once they’d seen it, and the rest is history. With the benefit of hindsight, it was my best decision ever. But it was touch and go at the time. Interviewer: And your crime novels are now very successful. And you seem to know quite a lot about police work. How’s that? Barry: When I’m researching one, I spend two days a month with the local city police: on patrol, at crime scenes, or in their offices; and I’ve had some hairy experiences, been in the line of fire. Like, recently, there was a guy 'five times wanted' for armed robbery who was holed up in a local flat. When I arrived, there was a whole bunch of police: plain clothes, dog handlers, guys with armored vests. I knew one of them, and he said: ‘Stay clear of the door in case he shoots.' That really brought it home to me that this was the real thing. Incredibly, they rang the doorbell and said, ‘Mr. X, are you in?’ Silence – so they smashed the door off its hinges, and there he was behind it. They threw him to the ground and handcuffed him. Interviewer: Do you use those experiences in your writing? Because the novels are set in the city, aren’t they? Barry: Yes, very much so. A big part of what I’m doing in my books is building a reality, and every book
