Personal finance is already part of the national curriculum in England and Wales while Scotland and North Ireland are developing their own (26) strategies. But according to the Personal Finance Education Group (PFEG), the organization behind todays move, teachers dont always get the help they need. Schools like Broadwater in Surrey already use examples of (27) dealing with money in lessons like mathematics. But unlike many other schools, its taking things a (28) stage further. Its teacher devised a course where people set up their own business, part of that (29) involved money management. By 2005, its hoped that (30) 128,000 school children will have had access to personal finance lessons, something that would go down well with parents. Learning about money is already part of the timetable for some of the pupils at this school. But where personal finance is taught, the problem for teachers can be getting hold of the (31) right material. The moment students leave school, they have to face the (32) prospect of dealing with complicated financial forms, as well as things like credit and (33) budgeting. The group leader at PFEG said, “(34) What we are trying to do is to make it easier for teachers. We want them to be able to put personal finance education examples into all different parts of their subject areas. (35) It could be citizenship; it could be the personal and social health education. Some teachers might find it useful in their IT lessons, whereas other teachers (36) might find it useful to explore the moral dimensions of the religious education.”Test 12Section A1-5 BBACB6-10 BDCDD11-15 BDACCSection B16-20 CADCA21-25 BCDBASection CHong Kong Disneyland is set to open on September 12. But the theme park has already suffered bad publicity and it (26) ultimately had to reverse course on its plan to serve sharks fin soup. After (27) waging a spirited campaign against the Walt Disney Company, environmentalists welcomed the Disneylands announcement that it will not serve the Chinese (28) delicacy, sharks fin soup. Sharks fin soup is a traditional dish at Chinese banquets and weddings. While many enjoy it for its taste and reputed healthful (29) properties, it is most popular as a sign of status. Because it is expensive and requires intensive preparation, many Chinese (30) associate it with wealth and power.Disney came under fire when it said it would serve the dish at two of the (31) attractions hotels. Green Peace, the international environmental organization, says the company was neglecting its (32) publicized commitment to protecting endangered species. Disney said that although it takes environmental stewardship seriously, it wanted to balance those concerns with cultural (33) sensitivity to Chinese customs. But, the environmentalists say that (34) their argument does not justify over-fishing shark populations for what they call a vanity dish. We have to bear in mind that times change and that if a particular habit or custom is unsustainable, we should get rid of it. (35) Central to this conflict between culture, commerce and conservation is the decline of shark populations around the globe. Many scientists say (36) the number of sharks worldwide has dropped by half over the past 15 years, and some species may have declined by more than 70 percent.
