They are famous for their brightred clothing and their ceremonies with lots of music and dancing. Probably, one of the most colorful ceremonies is the festivalof "Eunoto," when the teenage boys of the Masai become men. Eunoto lasts for many days and Masai people travel across theregion to get to special place near the border between Kenya and Tanzania. The teenage boys who travel with them are called" warriors ." This is traditional name from the past when young men fought with other tribes.At the beginning of the ceremony, the teenagers paint their bodies while their mothers start to build place called the"Osingira," sacred room in the middle of the celebrations. Later, the senior elders from different tribes will sit inside thisplace and, at different times, the boys go inside to meet them Later in the day, the boys run around the Osingira, going fasterand faster each time. The teenagers also have to alter their appearance at Eunoto. Masai boys' hair is very long before the ritual but they have tocut it off. In Masai culture, hair is an important symbol. For example, when baby grows into an infant, the mother cuts thechild's hair and gives the child name. At Masai wedding, the hair of the bride is also cut off as she becomes woman. Andso, at Eunoto, the teenage boy’s mother cuts his hair off at sunrise. On the final day, the teenagers meet the senior elders one more time. They get this advice: "Now you are men, use yourheads and knowledge." Then, people start to travel back to their homes and lands. The teenagers are no longer warriors. Theyare adult men and now they will get married and have children. Later in life, they will be the leaders of their communities.(Adapted from " Life " by John Hughes.

Ascamera technology gets smaller and cheaper, it isn’t hard to envisage future where we're all filming everything all the time,in every direction. Would that be good thing? There are some obvious potential upsides. If people know they are on camera, especially whenat work or using public services, they are surely less likely to misbehave. The available evidence suggests that it discouragesbehaviours such as vandalism. Another upside is that it would be harder to get away with crimes or to evade blame foraccidents. But world on camera could have subtle negative effects. The deluge of data we pour into the hands of Google, Facebookand others has already proved mixed blessing Those companies would no doubt be willing to upload and curate our body-cam data for free, but at what cost to privacy and freedom of choice? Body-cam data could also create legal minefield. Disputes over the veracity and interpretation of police footage havealready surfaced. Eventually, events not caught on camera could be treated as if they didn't happen. Alternatively, footagecould be faked or doctored to dodge blame or incriminate others. Of course, there’s always the argument that if you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to fear. But most peoplehave done something embarrassing, or even illegal, that they regret and would prefer they hadn't been caught on film. Peoplealready censor their social media feeds or avoid doing anything incriminating in public for fear of damaging theirreputation. Would ubiquitous body cams have further chilling effect on our freedom? The always-on-camera world could even threaten some of the attributes that make us human. We are natural gossips andbackbiters, and while those might not be desirable behaviours, they oil the wheels of our social interactions. Once peopleassume they are being filmed, they are likely to clam up. The argument in relation to body-cam ownership is bit like that for guns] once you go past critical threshold, almosteveryone will feel they need one as an insurance policy. We are nowhere near that point yet but we should think hard aboutwhether we really want to say "lights, body cam, action."(Adapted from https://www.newscientist.com )Question 43: What does the passage mainly discuss ?A.

They are famous for their brightred clothing and their ceremonies with lots of music and dancing. Probably, one of the most colorful ceremonies is the festivalof "Eunoto," when the teenage boys of the Masai become men. Eunoto lasts for many days and Masai people travel across theregion to get to special place near the border between Kenya and Tanzania. The teenage boys who travel with them are called" warriors ." This is traditional name from the past when young men fought with other tribes. At the beginning of the ceremony, the teenagers paint their bodies while their mothers start to build place called the"Osingira," sacred room in the middle of the celebrations. Later, the senior elders from different tribes will sit inside thisplace and, at different times, the boys go inside to meet them Later in the day, the boys run around the Osingira, going fasterand faster each time. The teenagers also have to alter their appearance at Eunoto. Masai boys' hair is very long before the ritual but they have tocut it off. In Masai culture, hair is an important symbol. For example, when baby grows into an infant, the mother cuts thechild's hair and gives the child name. At Masai wedding, the hair of the bride is also cut off as she becomes woman. Andso, at Eunoto, the teenage boy’s mother cuts his hair off at sunrise. On the final day, the teenagers meet the senior elders one more time. They get this advice: "Now you are men, use yourheads and knowledge." Then, people start to travel back to their homes and lands. The teenagers are no longer warriors. Theyare adult men and now they will get married and have children. Later in life, they will be the leaders of their communities.(Adapted from " Life " by John Hughes.

Ascamera technology gets smaller and cheaper, it isn’t hard to envisage future where we're all filming everything all the time,in every direction. Would that be good thing? There are some obvious potential upsides. If people know they are on camera, especially whenat work or using public services, they are surely less likely to misbehave. The available evidence suggests that it discouragesbehaviours such as vandalism. Another upside is that it would be harder to get away with crimes or to evade blame foraccidents. But world on camera could have subtle negative effects. The deluge of data we pour into the hands of Google, Facebookand others has already proved mixed blessing Those companies would no doubt be willing to upload and curate our body-cam data for free, but at what cost to privacy and freedom of choice? Body-cam data could also create legal minefield. Disputes over the veracity and interpretation of police footage havealready surfaced. Eventually, events not caught on camera could be treated as if they didn't happen. Alternatively, footagecould be faked or doctored to dodge blame or incriminate others. Of course, there’s always the argument that if you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to fear. But most peoplehave done something embarrassing, or even illegal, that they regret and would prefer they hadn't been caught on film. Peoplealready censor their social media feeds or avoid doing anything incriminating in public for fear of damaging theirreputation. Would ubiquitous body cams have further chilling effect on our freedom? The always-on-camera world could even threaten some of the attributes that make us human. We are natural gossips andbackbiters, and while those might not be desirable behaviours, they oil the wheels of our social interactions. Once peopleassume they are being filmed, they are likely to clam up. The argument in relation to body-cam ownership is bit like that for guns] once you go past critical threshold, almosteveryone will feel they need one as an insurance policy. We are nowhere near that point yet but we should think hard aboutwhether we really want to say "lights, body cam, action."(Adapted from https://www.newscientist.com )Question 18: What does the passage mainly discuss ?A.
