Thailand: Land of Smiles
Thailand is famous in the tourist brochures as the 'land of smiles'. However, while
that image may be true of Thai people, it is not always true for the visitor] Exiting the
modern Don Muang airport in Bangkok one is confronted with an array of seething humanity
dying to entice you into a taxi or mini-bus to one of the numerous hotels in Bangkok. The
journey from the airport to y. our hotel can take up to two hours depending on your time of
arrival. This makes people wonder sometimes why they bothered to come at all, especially
after a long flight!
The hotels seem to have a never-ending supply of rooms awaiting the visitor, perhaps
because there are too many hotels in Bangkok, or there are not enough visitors to fill them.
Outside in the streets of Bangkok, the mayhem of traffic is made worse by their effluent
turning Bangkok into one of the most crowded and polluted cities, not just in Asia, but the
world.
The visitor can escape the choking fumes of the downtown area by taking a somewhat
leisurely cruise down the various canals that form part of the Chao Phraya river. These
canals in the early morning are home to Bangkok's 'floating~ market where sellers try to sell
their goods from every conceivable type of floating craft. Apart from this tide of humanity
the canals allow a reverse view of Bangkok, from the river, here you can see people in their
homes and at work and play, sometimes it even seems idyllic! The canals are the entrances to
various Buddhist temples, the Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn) is a good example. Its spires
protrude from the earth and seem to reach toward some form of Buddhist heaven.
However Bangkok is not Thailand. To the south there are the beaehes of Pattaya, Hua
Hin and Koh Samui. Here many tourists seek refuge from the frustrations of downtown
Bangkok. They can while away the hours on the beach, by the pool or in a sauna, that are
part of most hotel complexes. If the south means the beach, then the north means Thailand,
the reality, not the tasteless images of night time Bangkok and the massage parlours that are
portrayed as a 'must visit' whilst in Bangkok.
The mountainous north of Thailand means Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, two small rural
towns that are the jumping off points to visit the hill tribes of the Karen, Aka, Lisu and
Meo. Whilst these tribes do wear colourful clothes, much of the time it is only for the
tourists to get beautiful photos. Many of these people are extremely poor and live in
poverty. Some have no homeland, being driven south from Myanmar. This area, once rich
in the growing of poppy plants (from whose juices the pure form of the drug Heroin was
extracted), is now dependent on more mundane planting and weeding of crops. Some of the
people have to split their families so that the husbands go to the bigger cities to try and get
work. One thing, however, 'that the north can truly be said to be is the land of smiles! No
matter how poor or over worked people are, they always smile. Maybe they see something
we don't see, maybe they see the secret behind the smile of the Buddha they worship?
Questions 25--34: Within the context of the passage, determine if the following statements are
True or False. On the Answer Sheet, write "T" for True and "F" for False.
25. The journey from the airport to the city can be difficult for visitors.
26. Hotels in Bangkok are always full.
27. The canals of Bangkok are as polluted as the city streets.
28. People who live near the canals seem to live an ideal life.
29. The spires of Wat Arun seem to link earth and heaven.
30. Bangkok is not in Thailand.
31. Southern Thailand gives a truer picture of the country than northern Thailand.
32. The north of Thailand is full of hills.
33. Most hill tribes make their living from drugs.
34. Most of the people in the hills are Buddhists.
'art 2. Questions 35--44 are based on the following passage. 20 points
Three Mediums of Entertainment
(a)The Internet is an invention of the mind and a means of faster communication made
bossible by the invention of the telephone. Bill Gates did not invent the Internet, but he saw
ts potential back in the I980s as a means to revolutionize people's way of life in business,
communication and entertainment. The Internet allows people, separated by vast distances,
Lo directly communicate with each other instantaneously. It also-allows visual contact with
the invention of the video 'eye' allowing a person, virtually, into your private life. This has
its positive and negative affects. On the positive side family members can see a newly born
child as well as each other though separated by thousands of kilometres. On the negative side
this invention has also been used to foster website pornography. The Internet has also been
criticized by parents for the spawning of video games and the lost hours that young people
spend trying to kill or maim fictitious characters. Some say this is 'mind destruction'. Chat
rooms are useful for practicing a foreign language, but you should never give your telephone
number to someone because they could use it for criminal purposes. Some people have been
killed because they were stupid enough to give out their address or phone number over the
Internet.
(b)By contrast television, an invention by John Logic Baird in the 1930s, has allowed
people to expand their horizons because of the programs they are now able to view. TV has
allowed a whole host of programs to filter into the lives of people: dramas; comedies; sports
programs; music recitals being a few examples. The whole world of entertainment has been
thrust into people's living rooms allowing an array of choice that is completely staggering.
Sports events such as the Olympics are now only a press of a button away. However, even if
the world of entertainment is now at everyone's finger tips this is not all good news! There
are good programs and bad programs to be viewed. Who decides, in the home, what
individuals watch? Unfortunately it is too easy to turn on the TV, so un-supervised children
get to choose what they watch, if parents are not there. This is certainly true in single
parent households. Authorities consider this type of TV viewing to be the most dangerous
for young people simply because of the very graphic images portraying murders and violence
in some, supposedly, real life dramas. Another aspect of TV that has been criticized is
advertisements, there are too many and they do not reflect reality, only an image!
(c)If there were no television there would be no videos or video games. Videos, through
the medium of video parlours, allow unlimited access to just about everything to everyone.
At least with television programmes people are at the mercy of the TV stations as to what
they get to watch. With videos there are no such restrictions. Despite warnings on content
and warning codes that ' rate' the type of entertainment on videos, ultimately it is up to
adults to supervise their children and what they watch. How careful are parents about
children and video viewing? Some parents are careful, some are simply too slack, some even
say their child has a 'right' to watch whatever they choose!! Tell that to some of the
children in America who became the victims of high-school massacres! The entertainment
world of the video has invaded the privacy of the home and, in its invasion, has changed
people's ways of thinking about life and society. In the Industrial Revolution people were
just numbers to be used and exploited. It seems people in the video industry see things the
same way !
Questions 35--44: On your Answer Sheet, fill in the missing words for the following text. You
need to write one to three words in the blanks given.
Paragraph (a): The Internet has made communication faster, however Bill Gates was
not its (35) The Internet allows people who are (36) to instantly talk
and even see each other. It has both good and bad sides because it also allows the viewing of
pornography which most countries see as (37) Chat rooms are useful but can also
be very dangerous if people give out their (38) details.
Paragraph (b): Television, invented before the Internet, allows families a wide range of
(39) concerning programme type. It seems that the whole world is (40)
because of television. However the decision as to what individuals watch at home, especially
for young children, is a problem when parents are (41) to supervise them. This is
considered very dangerous.
Paragraph (c). Videos are a (42) of television allowing anyone to watch
anything whereas television viewing is (43) . TV stations, videos are not. Many
adults have a very careless attitude towards what their children watch. Video violence has
altered people's (44) life, indeed many say the video industry lacks moral
character.
