 Children's involvement in family decision making
Line
1 In Britain, as children's rights to citizenship have strengthened over recently years, a 
2 strong presumption in favor of involved children in decisions on matters that directly 
3 affect them have developed in a number of areas of law, public policy and professional 
4 practice (for example, school councils). Yet surprisingly a little is known about how far 
5 children's participation extends to their home lives and the routine business of everyday life. 
6 A recent study, basing on group discussions and in-depth interviews with 117 children 
7 aged between eight and ten, examined how and to what extent the children were 
8 involved in shaping their own and their families’ domestic lives. Many of the findings 
9 were illuminating.
10 The ways on which families made decisions involved a subtle, complex and dynamic 
11 set of processes in which children could exert a decisive influence. Most families 
12 operated democratically but children accepted the ultimate authority of their 
13 parents so that they felt their parents acted 'fairly'. For children, 'fairness' had more 
14 to do with being treated equitably than simply having the decision made in their favor. 
 Children could use claims to fairness like a moral lever in negotiations with parents.

PART 3: Read the passage and circle the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of 
the questions
 Large animals that inhabit the desert have evolved a number of adaptations for reducing the effects 
of extreme heat. One adaptation is to be light in color, and to reflect rather than absorb the Sun's rays. 
Desert mammals also depart from the normal mammalian practice of maintaining a constant body 
temperature. Instead of trying to keep down the body temperature deep inside the body, which would 
involve the expenditure of water and energy, desert mammals allow their temperatures to rise to what 
would normally be fever height, and temperatures as high as 46 degrees Celsius have been measured in 
Grant's gazelles. The overheated body then cools down during the cold desert night, and indeed the 
temperature may fall unusually low by dawn, as low as 34 degrees Celsius in the camel. This is an

B-F from the list of headings below.Write your answers A, B, C or D in the corresponding 
numbered boxes. 
 HIGH-TECH CRIME -FIGHTING TOOLS
A. Crime- fighting technology is getting more sophisticated and rightly so. The police need to be 
 equipped for the 21st century. In Britain we’ve already got the world’s biggest DNA databases. By 
 next year the state will have access to the genetic data of 4.25 m people: one British-based person in 
 14. Hundreds of thousands of those on the database will never have been charged with a crime.
B. Britain is also reported to have more than £4 million CCTV (closed circuit television) camera, There 
 is a continuing debate about the effectiveness of CCTV. Some evidence suggests that it is helpful in 
 reducing shoplifting and car crime. It has also been used to successfully indentify terrorists and 
 murderers. However, many people claim that better lighting is just as effective to prevent crime and 
 that cameras could displace crime. An internal police report said that only one crime was solved for 
 every 1,000 cameras in London in 2007. In short, there is conflicting evidence about the 
 effectiveness of camera, so it is likely that the debate will continue.
C. Professor Mike Press, who has spent the past decade studying how design can contribute to crime 
 reduction, said that, in order for CCTC to have any effect, it must be used in a targeted way. For 
 example, a scheme in Manchester records every license plate at the entrance of a shopping complex 
 and alerts police when one is found to belong to an untaxed or stolen car. This is an effective 
 example of monitoring, he said. Most schemes that simply record city centers continually- often not 
 being watched - do not produce results. CCTV can also have the opposite effect of that intended, by 
 giving citizens a false sense of security and encouraging them to be careless with property and 
 personal safety. Professor Press said: “All the evidence suggests that CCTV alone makes no positive 
 impact on crime reduction and prevention at all. The weight of evidence would suggest the 
 investment is more or less a waste of money unless you have lots of other things in place”. He 
 believes that much of the increase is driven by the marketing efforts of security companies who 
 promote the crime-reducing benefits of their products. He described it as a “lazy approach to crime
