Child labour refers to the employment of children in any work that deprives children of their
childhood, interferes with their ability to attend regular school, and that is mentally, physically,
socially or morally dangerous and harmful. This practice is considered exploitative by
many international organisations. Legislation across the world prohibit child labour. These laws do
not consider all work by children as child labour; exceptions include work by child artists, family
duties and supervised training
Child labour has existed to varying extents. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, many
children aged 5–14 from poorer families still worked in Europe, the United States and various colonies
of European powers. These children mainly worked in agriculture, home-based assembly operations,
factories and mining. Some worked night shifts lasting 12 hours. With the rise of household income,
availability of schools and passage of child labour laws, the incidence rates of child labour fell.
In developing countries, with high poverty and poor schooling opportunities, child labour is
still prevalent. In 2010, sub-saharan Africa had the highest incidence rates of child labour, with
several African nations witnessing over 50 % of children aged 5–14 working. They are predominantly
employed by their parents, rather than factories. Poverty and lack of schools are considered as the
primary cause of child labour.
Globally the incidence of child labour decreased from 25% to 10% between 1960 and 2003,
according to the World Bank. Nevertheless, the total number of child labourers remains high,
with UNICEF and ILO acknowledging an estimated 168 million children aged 5–17 worldwide, were
involved in child labour in 2013. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_labour

Advertisers spend billions of dollars a year worldwide encouraging and manipulating
people into a consumer lifestyle with devastating impacts on the environment. Advertising
exploits individual insecurity, creates false needs and offers counterfeit solutions. Children
are particularly vulnerable to this sort of manipulation.
Children are increasingly becoming the target of advertising because of the money they
spend themselves,the influence they have on their parents spending and because of the
money they will spend when they grow up. Marketing used to concentrate on sweets and
toys; it now includes clothes, shoes, fast foods, sports equipment and computer products.
Therefore, marketing to children should be carefully restricted. In particular, Internet
and TV adverts should be banned. Such advertising favorsthe cost of these services rather
than thatof children's values, health and integrity. The future of the planet will be at stake if
we allow advertisers to turn children into hyper consumers.

Read this text carefully then do the activities below.

A court in Germany has ruled that the video-sharing site “YouTube” is responsible for videos on
its site that are posted illegally. The ruling said “YouTube” must do more to prevent posters uploading
copyrighted music videos to the site. The case was brought to the courts by the royalty-collecting
organization Gema, which represents over 64,000 German musicians and songwriters. Gema has been
fighting YouTube in the courts since 2010. The group accuses “YouTube” of using music online
without paying royalties to those who produced the tunes. “YouTube” may be forced to pay royalties for
all the video clips on its site. This could prove extremely costly for Google, the owner of “YouTube."

The court said it did not consider “YouTube” to be the copyright violator, but the user who
uploaded the songs. It said, however, that YouTube must implement stronger filters to block
copyrighted material. YouTube representatives say the site is not responsible for what users post to it.
They claim those who post copyrighted materials are at fault and that the YouTube site is simply a
platform for sharing. A spokesman said, «We remain committed to finding a solution to the music
licensing issue in Germany that will benefit artists, composers, authors, publishers and record labels, as
well as the wider YouTube community." Currently, around 60 hours of videos are uploaded to the
“YouTube” site every minute. www.headsup English .com

Migrant Smuggling is the facilitation, for financial or other material gain, of irregular entry into a
country where the migrant is not a national or resident. The criminals behind this highly lucrative business
seize the opportunity created by the need or desire of people to escape not just poverty and lack of
employment opportunities but also natural disaster, conflict or persecution.

The smuggling of migrants is a truly global concern, with a large number of countries affected by it as
origin, transit and host countries – points of destinations of the smuggled people. Profit-seeking criminals
smuggle migrants across borders and between continents. Assessing the real size of this crime is a complex
matter, owing to its underground nature and the difficulty of identifying when irregular migration is being
facilitated by smugglers. Smugglers take advantage of the large number of migrants willing to take risks in
search of a better life when they cannot access legal channels of migration.

Smuggled migrants are vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. Their safety and even their lives are often
put at risk: they may suffocate in containers, perish in deserts or drown at sea while being smuggled by
profit-seeking criminals who treat them as goods. As the crime is a clandestine one, accurate global figures
are difficult to come by. Nevertheless, it is estimated that two of the principal smuggling routes - leading
from East, North and West Africa to Europe and from South America to North America - generate about
$6.75 billion a year for criminals. However, the global figure is likely to be much higher.

Part One: Reading (15pts)

Read the text carefully then do the following activities:
Counterfeit medicines are a threat to health, and the risks they pose have been largely underestimated.
Infact, the counterfeit medicines that contain no active ingredient will fail to cure any disease, and those with
wrong ingredients may cause mental and physical damage-and even death. No area of the world is unaffected
by this kind of medecines,as revealed by the recent deaths in the USA.
Growing evidence shows that the problem is disproportionately severe in developing and emerging-
market countries,which also have the highest burden of infectious diseases .National governments have the
primary responsibility both in stopping criminal manufacturing and the distribution of counterfeit medicines
and protecting their citizens from the dangerous consequences of these products.The Food and Drug
Administration(FDA) is highly active in fulfilling this responsibility, but this is not true in many other
countries of the world.
Multilateral organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO),theWorld Customs
Organization(WCO), and the World Criminal Police Organization(Interpol)must do more to expose the
problem and help countries to set more stringent laws to control the production of medicines.
Companies affected by counterfeiting in developing countries are expending private resources to
perform roles which should be carried out by police and regulators, including assisting multilateral
organizations in building capacity among local customs and regulatory officials.

Read the text carefully and do the activities.
Child abductions and kidnappings are on the increase, with almost 900 reported cases in the past year
alone. Thus, the abduction of children by people other than their parents rose twice as fast as parental

xa
abductions.
During 2013-14, 158 children were abducted by parents, 401 children were abducted by people other
than their parents, and 321 children were kidnapped. Kidnappings, which are defined by the use of force or

/e
fraud to remove a child, include cases such as children taken in return for a ransom. One-fifth of all
kidnappings recorded by police involve a child victim. The figures include both successful and attempted
crime. However, the charity Parents and Abducted Children Together (PACT) believes that many cases of

om
attempted abduction and kidnapping involving children are never recorded by police, and the true rates of
offending may be four times higher than police figures suggest.
Claude Knights, chief executive of the charity “Kids cape”, said the figures were an important
reminder to parents about the need to talk to children about so-called “stranger danger”. An experiment
c
carried out by the charity found that most children could be easily convinced to follow a stranger, even
where parents felt they had talked to them about the risks involved.

INTERPOL-Europol has announced that an operation carried between November 2015 and February

m
2016 uncovered more than 10,000 tonnes and one million litres of hazardous fake food and drink across 57
countries. The operation resulted in seizures ranging from nine tonnes of counterfeit sugar contaminated with

xa
fertilizer in Sudan, to more than 85 tonnes of olives which had been painted with copper sulphate solutions in
Italy. Checks were carried out at shops, markets, airports, seaports and industrial estates and were part of
coordinated initiative between police, national food regulatory bodies and the private sector to protect public
health and fight organised crime.

/e
In particular, the operation showed false labelling to be a common threat. In Australia, testing of 450kg
of honey revealed, it had been blended or adulterated, and a consignment of peanuts had been repackaged and

om
relabelled as pine nuts, posing a significant threat to allergy sufferers.
“Today’s rising food prices and the global nature of the food chain offer the opportunity for criminals to
sell counterfeit and substandard food in a multibillion criminal industry which can pose serious potential
health risks to unsuspecting customers. The complexity and scale of this fraud means cooperation needs to
c
happen across borders with a multi-agency approach,” said Chris Vansteenkiste, Cluster Manager of the

Read the text carefully then do the following activities.
An estimated 158 million children aged 5-14 are engaged in child labour-one in six
children in the world. Millions of children are engaged in hazardous situation or condition
such as working in mines, working with chemicals and pesticides in agriculture or working
with dangerous machinery. They are everywhere but invisible; toiling as domestic servants
in homes, labouring behind the walls of workshops, hidden from view in plantations….
In sub-Saharan Africa, one child in there is engaged in child labour, representing 69
million children. In South Asia, another 44 million are at work.
Children living in the poorest household and in rural areas are most likely to be
engaged in children labour. Those burdened with household chores are girls. Millions of
girls who work as domestic servants are especially vulnerable to exploitation and abuse.
The UNICEF often interferes with children’s education Ensuring that all children go to
school and that their education is of good quality, is a key to preventing child labour.

Read the text carefully, then do the activities.

Millions of children around the world are trapped in child labour , depriving them of their

s
childhood, their health and education , and condemning them to a life of poverty and serious
illnesses. Of course , there is work that children do to help their families in ways that are neither

m
harmful nor exploitative.
Recent global estimates based on data of UNICEF , the ILO ( International Labour Organization)

xa
and the World Bank indicate that 168 million children aged 5 to 17 are engaged in child labour .
Some 120 million among them are below the age of 14, while a further 30 million children in this
age group – mostly girls – perform unpaid household chores within their own families. In addition,

/e
millions of children suffer in the other worst forms of child labour, including slavery and slavery-
like practices such as forced and bonded labour and child soldiering, sexual exploitation , or are
used by adults in illicit activities , including drug trafficking, working in mines . Vast majority of child

om
labour is found in rural settings and informal urban economy , children are predominantly employed
by their parents rather than factories . Poverty and lack of schools are considered as primary cause
of child labour .
Despite a steady decline in child labour , progress is far too slow . At current rates , more than
c
100 million children will still be trapped in child labour by 2020 . The continuing persistence of
child labour poses a threat to national economies and has severe negative short and long term
n.
consequences for the fulfillment of children’s rights guaranteed by the United Nations Convention
of the Rights of the Child ( CRC ) including denial of education and frequent exposure to violence.

Plagiarism

s
Due largely to the amount of information available on the Internet it is becoming easier for
everyone to plagiarize. Whether intentional or not, schools and universities consider plagiarism a form of

m
academic dishonesty and unethical practice.
Obvious plagiarism includes buying a paper or copying another person 's work and presenting it as

xa
yours. This can be information or items copied from Web pages, books and newspapers, TV shows or any
other artwork. Essentially, it is a form of piracy; a theft of the author 's intellectual property. The
educational systems are so tolerant that the rate of plagiarism scandals has doubled in recent years.

/e
One of the scholars pointed out, "Before trying to avoid plagiarism, we must tackle the causes
which include: the lack of academic integrity, the students' ignorance, their difficulty with citing, in
addition to the weaknesses in language skills". The University of California, at Devis explains that the

om
effects of plagiarism are ranging from damaging the student's academic career and causing serious legal
problems to tarnishing the institution's reputation.
The policies detailing the guidelines on the problems of plagiarism that have been established,
should be explained by teachers periodically. Whenever ideas or works are borrowed from another
c
source, students must cite or quote that source .This is the best way to minimize plagiarism.

A court in Germany has ruled that the video-sharing site ‘’YouTube” is responsible for
videos on its site that are posted illegally. The ruling said “YouTube” must do more to prevent

s
posters uploading copyrighted music videos to the site. The case was brought to the courts by

m
the royalty-collecting organization Gema, which represents over 64,000 German musicians
and songwriters. Gema has been fighting “YouTube” in the courts since 2010. The group

xa
accuses the web application of using music online without paying royalties to those who
produced the tunes.
“YouTube” may be forced to pay royalties for all the video clips on its site. This could prove

/e
extremely costly for Google, the owner of “YouTube”.

The court said it did not consider “YouTube” to be the copyright violator, but the user

m
who uploaded the songs. It said however, that “YouTube” must implement stronger filters to
block copyrighted materials. The representatives of the site say that this platform is not
co
responsible for what users post to it. They claim those who post copyrighted materials are at
fault and the “YouTube” site is simply a website for sharing. A spokesman said,”We remain
committed to finding a solution to the music licensing issue in Germany that will benefit
n.
artists, composers, authors, publishers and record labels, as well as the wider YouTube
community.”
Currently, around 60 hours of videos are uploaded to the “YouTube” site every minute.

Consumer safety officials in the USA have warned Americans against using
toothpaste made in China because it may be poisonous. The Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) declared that Chinese toothpaste may contain a toxic chemical commonly used in
antifreeze – a substance that protects car engines from freezing in cold weather. The FDA

s
said that while there have so far been no reports of toothpaste poisoning in the US,

m
contamination has been reported in Mexico and Panama. It has also found traces of the
chemical, diethylene glycol (DEG), in a shipment at the US border with Mexico and at retail

xa
stores in Florida and Puerto Rico. The agency said it did not want to alarm the public, but
feels it needs to err on the side of caution and that it was better to be safe than sorry.

/e
DEG is actually found in other foods. It is used in low-cost sweeteners and as a
thickening agent in cooking. The FDA’s concerns are that it should not be included in the

m
ingredients of toothpaste. Officials say the chemical can be dangerous to children and to those
with kidney or liver disease. The FDA’s Deborah Autor expressed her fears over the substance,
co
saying: "Our concern today is potentially about all toothpaste that comes in from China.” She
added: "Our estimate is that China makes up about US$3.3 million of the US$2 billion US
toothpaste market." The FDA reported that DEG has been improperly added to a variety of
n.
other Chinese products, including sedatives and cough syrups. In Panama, last September, over
40 people died after taking a cough mixture containing DEG.

Read the text carefully then do the following activities.
Bribery is the crime of giving or receiving something of value to influence official action. Both the person
giving and receiving the bribe are guilty of bribery.

/e
Bribery is illegal for two reasons: Firstly, it usually involves a public official using his or her office for
personal gain. Secondly, it can cause officials to make unfair decisions that affect citizens. Bribery is a very old

m
crime. There is evidence of bribery dating back more than 4,000 years.
Usually, a person who bribes a public official is paying to get special treatment. This special treatment can

co
come in many forms. For example, a company might bribe an official to win a government contract.
Bribing a public official is the most common type of bribery. In the United States, officials convicted of
bribery may be fined, removed from office, and sent to prison for up to 20 years. Commercial bribery, the bribery
n.
of owners or employees of private companies, is also illegal in many places, but it is less commonly punished.

PART ONE: Reading (15 points)

A. Comprehension (08 point)
-Read the text carefully then do the following activities.
We are taught the importance of ethics and morals from a very early age. We are taught what is right and
what is wrong. Stealing, lying, cheating and harming the environment are things that bad people do while
caring for others, working hard, respecting the rules and taking care of the environment are some of the
fundamentals of being a ‘‘good person’’. But how do those ethics we learn in the early stages of our childhood
relate to business? How can big companies ensure that their businesses are operating in an ethical way and
why is it even important?
Writing for Forbes last year, CEO of the Institute for High-Character Leadership, Bruce Weinstein argued
that ‘‘The principles of ethics that help us solve ethical dilemmas and problems in everyday life are the same

s
principles that provide guidance in business, health care, law and education’’ and he cited ‘‘ 1. Do not harm, 2.

m
Make things better, 3. Respect others, 4. Be fair, 5.Care’’ as those key principles.
Maintaining good practices and strong business ethics should be a key consideration for all companies and

xa
establishments, whatever the size, for numerous reasons, but the first and foremost is reputation. A positive
reputation is an invaluable asset and when it is lost, it is incredibly difficult to rebuild.
