ΑΡΧΗ 2 ΗΣ ΣΕΛΙΔΑΣ ΤΕΛΟΣ 2 ΗΣ ΑΠΟ 5 ΣΕΛΙΔΕΣ Α . Read the text b elow and r espond to tasks A1 and A2 . Where you are, what you’re doing, and who you are with all affect your personality in the moment. Over time, these influences can accumulate, shaping the kind of person you become. But you don’t have to accept this state of a ffairs passively. The poet Maya Angelou said, “Stand up straight and realize who you are, that you tower over your circumstances. ” She was certainly right in the sense that we can be canny about how we choose to spend our time: we can shape our circumstances so that they work for, not against, us. For instance, if you would like to develop a more open-minded, sociable warm personality, an important way to achieve this is to strive to place yourself into situations that lift your mood. This may sound obvious, but if you think honestly for a moment, how often are you strategic when planning your time? Rather than gritting your teeth as you endure yet another spell of boredom, try making a greater effort to plan ahead and seek out the sunlit places that promise more joy. Psychologists at the University of Sheffield in England tested this approach recently. They conducted a study and gave half of their participants the following situation-selection instruction before the weekend and asked them to repeat it three times and to commit to doing it: “If I am deciding what to do this weekend, then I will select activities that will make me feel good and avoid doing things that will make me feel bad!” On Monday, all the participants provided a breakdown of wh at they’d spent the week end doing and the emotions they’ d experienced. The key finding was that those who followed the instruction experienced more positive emotions over the weekend. This was particularly the case for the participants with more neurotic personalities, who said they usually struggled to regulate their emotions. If you would like to be less neurotic, this could be a particularly useful approach for you. The situation-selection strategy is not all easy sailing, though. An unfortunate and important obstacle to taking this more strategic approach to life and our own personality development is that a lot of the time, we are not very good at anticipating how different situations will make us feel.

The paragraphs of the story have been jumbled up. Put paragraphs A-E in the correct order by writing the number of the item (20-24) and the letter corresponding to each paragraph in the order in which they should appear. (5 x 2 points = 10 points) This is how the story begins A kindly, old stranger was walking through the land when he came upon a village. As he entered, the vill agers moved towards their homes locking doors and windows. A. By now, hearing the rumor of food, most of the villagers had come out of their homes or watched from their windows. As the stranger sniffed the “broth” and licked his lips in anticipation, hunge r began to overcome their fear. “Ahh,” the stranger said to himself rather loudly, “I do like a tasty stone soup. Of course, stone soup with cabbage -- that’s hard to beat.” B. As he left, the stranger came upon a group of village children standing near the road. He gave the silken bag containing the stone to the youngest child, whispering to a group, “It was not the stone, but the villagers that had performed the magic.” C. The stranger smiled and asked, “W hy are you all so frightened? I am a simple traveler, looking for a soft place to stay for the night and a warm place for a meal. ” “There’s not a bite to eat in the whole province,” he was told. “We are weak and our children are starving. Better keep moving on.” D. Soon a villager approached hesitantly, holding a small cabbage he’ d retrieved from its hiding place, and added it to the pot. “Wonderful!!” cried the stranger. “You know, I once had stone soup with cabbage and a bit of salt beef as well, and it was fit for a king.” The village butcher managed t o find some salt beef… And so it went, through potatoes, onions, carrots, mushrooms, and so on, until there was indeed a delicious meal for everyone in the village to share. The village elder offered the stranger a great deal of money for the magic stone, but he refused to sell it and traveled on the next day. E. “Oh, I have everything I need,” he said. “In fact, I was thinking of making some stone soup to share with all of you.” He pulled an iron cauldron from his cloak, filled it with water, and began to build a fire under it. Then, with great ceremony, he drew an ordinary-looking stone from a silken bag and dropped it into the water. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. Γ .

ΑΡΧΗ 2 ΗΣ ΣΕΛΙΔΑΣ ΤΕΛΟΣ 2 ΗΣ ΑΠΟ 6 ΣΕΛΙΔΕΣ Α . Read the text below and respond to tasks A1 and A2 . In today's society, many of us go through our whole lives without ever working with our hands; we live, we work, we eat, we buy, we repeat. Everything is made and delivered quickly, from fast food to fast fashion and, although this may keep the economy going, it's not necessarily good for our mental health, or for our planet. In recent years there has been a wealth of online craft workshops on everything from collage to flower ‐ arranging. On TV, programmes are encouraging everyone to paint, draw or sculpt their view from a window with whatever materials they have at hand. In the safety of our own homes, we have been able to try knitting for the first time or to have a go at oil pastels ‐ without a teacher but also without the judgment of a teacher. The possibility of experimentation in the solitary environment of our own homes has created higher confidence in our abilities, a prerequisite for learning. Repairing an item of clothing can enhance the experience of wearing it and leaves the repairer with a renewed sense of closeness and ownership, but it's more than that. When we repair something by hand, our motor skills are carefully developed and our head is fully engaged, leaving a sense of calm and balance. A recent study at Harvard Medical School discovered that repetitive hand ‐ based actions, such as stitching, weaving and knitting, create a measurable state of relaxation, slowing down the heart rate and lowering blood pressure. Before mass production and readymade products, we had no choice but to repair and maintain the things we owned. Now, when things break, we often don't know how to repair or even recycle them, but more than that, we don't see the need to repair them ‐ and why should we, when everything is so cheaply made and so easily replaced? The art of repair can be treated as a philosophy, but also as a helpful skill. Mending things ourselves can instil confidence in our own capabilities, which in turn increases our connection to the things we own and the sentimental value we hold for them. After all, certain items are both priceless and irreplaceable, no matter how broken or damaged they are. Adapted from https://www.theguardian.com

The Evolution of Graffiti The term “graffiti” often refers to artwork on inner city walls and train lines, a movement (ex.) that first appeared in the late 60s.

(5 x 2 points = 10 points) Clear Signs You’re a Perfectionist COLUMN A COLUMN B 20. Perfectionists can have a serious dark side, according to a study published in the Journal of Psychopathology and Behavioral Assessment. Their high standards and critical nature can make them prone to being narcissistic, antisocial, and having an aggressive sense of humor that other people cannot easily accept, the researchers say. A. You don’t sleep well 21. Perfectionism is one of the primary traits linked to chronically feeling sad and anxious, according to research published in the Review of General Psychology. Even more alarming, the scientists found that having perfectionist tendencies significantly raised a person’s risk of suicide. B. You’re self-conscious about your appearance 22. Not even the most perfect perfectionist can maintain tight control over every aspect of their lives at all times. Eventually they crack under the pressure. One of the more common ways they cope is through eating compulsively and unhealthily, according to research published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. C. You’re depressed 23. It makes sense that perfectionists would be more stressed out than more easy-going people -we live in an uncontrollably imperfect world, after all. But it turns out that not only are perfectionists more likely to be stressed, they’re also less likely (or less able) to take advantage of proven stress-reduction techniques. D. You binge on junk food 24. Perfectionists often spend more time than others choosing outfits, shopping, getting dressed, putting on makeup and looking in the mirror. But it’s not just your time that suffers-this focus on looks can make perfectionists more vulnerable to eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia in an attempt to control every aspect of their bodies. E. People may avoid you F. Meditation doesn’t work for you
