There is brilliance in North Korea's strategy. When the Soviet Union collapsed, North Korea was left in dire economic straits. There were reasonable expectations that its government would soon collapse, leading to the unification of the Korean Peninsula. Naturally, the goal of the North Korean government was regime survival(44)- it was terrified that outside powers would invade or support an uprising against it. It needed a strategy that would dissuade anyone from trying that. Being weak in every sense, this wasn't going to be easy, but the North Koreans developed a strategy that we described more than 10 years ago as ferocious, weak and crazy. North Korea has pursued this course since the 1990s, and the latest manifestation of this strategy was on display last week. The strategy has worked marvelously and is still working.
It should also be noted that other countries have learned this ferocious, weak, crazy maneuver from North Korea. Iran is the best pupil. It has convincingly portrayed itself as ferocious via its nuclear program, endlessly and quite publicly pursuing its program without ever quite succeeding. It is also persistently seen as weak, perpetually facing economic crises and enraged gangs of iPod-using youths. Whether Iran can play the weakness card as skillfully as North Korea remains unclear -- Iran just doesn't have the poverty North Korea has.
Additionally, Iran's rhetoric at times can certainly be considered crazy: Tehran has carefully cultivated perceptions that it would engage in nuclear war even if this meant the death of all Iranians. Like North Korea, Iran also has managed to retain its form of government and its national sovereignty. Endless predictions of the fall of the Islamic republic to a rising generation have proved false.

Associated Press photographer Muhammed Muheisen shot the picture, a portrait of Iaiba Hazrat, six, a refugee from Afghanistan living in a slum in Islamabad. It was from a series of 21 portraits of Iaiba and other refugee children all shot in Muheisen's quiet, direct, artless style. He seems to have a natural rapport with his subjects and he is one of our favourite contributors from that part of the world, documenting the poorer people, on most occasions children; who are sometimes playing or often working, but trying to have a childhood. The Times picture desk obviously feel the same about him, but still it seems extraordinary that both picture editors chose the same picture out of the set: a dirty-faced girl with red hair. Guardian picture editor, Fiona Shields says, "We chose that child for the extraordinary depth of expression in her eyes." In these, as in most of Muheisen's images, the main subject is looking straight at the camera, at the viewer, making it so hard to ignore their " plight. "
But among so many pictures, good photography shines out, as always.

This year Coca-Cola outdid itself. In most ways its commercial couldn't be less original. It begins with a man in a cowboy hat on a horse and ends with children running towards the Grand Canyon, all to the words of America the Beautiful. In between, people of various hues, regions and settings – in cities and on prairies, in yarmulkes and headscarves – eat popcorn, ice-skate, blow bubblegum, surf and dance. Were it not for the gay dads, it would be indistinguishable from the official videos the US state department shows you while you're waiting in immigration – all the diversity and none of the discrimination.
There is just one twist. The song is sung in nine different languages: English, Spanish, Tagalog, Mandarin, Hindi, Hebrew, Keres, French and Arabic. For this – and this alone – American conservative intellectuals threw a spectacular antagonism. "If we cannot be proud enough as a country to sing America the Beautiful in English," said former congressman Allen West, " we are on the road to catastrophe." Fox commentator Todd Starnes tweeted: "Coca-Cola is the official soft drink of illegals crossing the border." Another angry viewer tweeted: "Nice to see that Coke likes to sing an American song in the terrorist's language."
The "road to catastrophe" is paved by clowns like these. But progressives have little reason to feel self-satisfied. The last thing we need is diversity being defined by Coca-Cola – a multinational corporation that has been accused of human rights, labour and environmental abuses on several continents (allegations the company denies).
The writer is of the opinion that _____.- ACoca-Cola is in no way entitled to descibe diversity
- BCoca-Cola is a reputable multinational company
- CAmerica is now virtually free from discrimination
- Dthere are several official languages spoken in America
- Eracial discrimination is prevalent in southern states

Video games often make us feel real emotions for non-player characters (NPCs), so much so that we sometimes feel like we have a real relationship with them. Ellie from The Last of Us is a strong example of this. By the end of that game I cared about what happened to her, hated seeing her endangered, and wanted to see things turn out well for her. All this despite the fact that she didn’t even know I existed, much less give a flip about me.
Granted, this isn’t new or unique to video games. The Greeks were making audiences react to plays full of actors thousands of years ago. But I think video games are unique among different kinds of media in their ability to create these kinds of characters and relationships and Ellie is emblematic of that. To understand why, let’s look at a concept that communications and psychology researchers call “parasocial relationships.” In the 1950s, social psychologists became interested in how people relate to characters, news anchors, and variety show hosts that they saw on television. The term “parasocial relationship” was made famous in a 1956 paper by Donald Horton and Richard Wohl, in which they explored the phenomenon of people relating to TV characters as if they knew each other. They noted that if a person had such a relationship with a television figure, he/she was more likely to be engaged in the show, trust the person more, and genuinely felt intimacy with him/her.
According to the passage, _____.- Aspectators are reluctant to relate to evil characters
- Bthe more educated people are, the less they have to do with soap operas
- Cmen, unlike women, have rarely credited fictional heros
- Dpeople have always enjoyed associating themselves with, say, actors
- Eactors/actresses are are said to be successful if they can captivate spectators

A satirical novel that follows a bemused Hitler on a journey through today’s Germany is a publishing sensation. But is the dictator responsible for the horrors of the Third Reich a fitting subject for comedy?
It is an unlikely premise for a German novel: Hitler returns to Berlin and gets mistaken for a look-alike. After nearly seventy years in a coma, he is surprised by the way the modern city looks. Where have all the Russian soldiers gone? And why are there so many cyclists wearing flimsy helmets with holes in them?
He looks for his favourite newspaper, the People’s Observer, but it doesn’t seem to be on the stand – only Turkish papers. The shop owner befriends him and lets him in: “Don’t steal anything, OK?” “Do I look like a criminal?” “You look like Hitler”. “Exactly”, responds the Führer.
Eventually, Hitler gets into the swing of the modern world and becomes a celebrity and a politician. He goes on a chat-show (hosted by a German of Turkish background) and goes into politics, striking a popular chord with his proposals to get tough on dog mess.
It is a story which has captivated Germany. Er ist wieder da (He’s back) has already sold 400,000 copies. The audio version, too, is a best-seller. Translations into 28 languages are on the way. So is a film.
But this is difficult territory. Hitler as a buffoon is a joke as old as Charlie Chaplin. But Hitler as a human being also makes many uneasy. The reviewer, Cornelia Fiedler, of the Süddeutsche Zeitung, attributed the book’s success not to its literary quality but to an unsettling obsession with Hitler. “A very strange fixation on Hitler has developed in Germany and it has something of the manic about it. The focus on Hitler – be it as a comic figure or as the embodiment of evil – risks washing away the historical reality”.
According to the passage, _____.- AGerman people still do love their führer
- BEr ist wieder da (He’s back) has taken off in Germany
- CHitler was always a leader with humour
- Dcomedies featuring Hitler are regularly produced
- EHitler was someone who could take criticism

This much we know, and salute: contemporary feminism is shaped, and led, by younger women. Brilliantly so. _____ Surely when it comes to rank gender-based injustice, not to mention those subtly accumulating inequalities that are so hard to unpick, it is older women tweeting up a storm or charging down Whitehall in furious protest. Why is there not more collective or popular protest?- AFar more boil with fury round a kitchen table but stay resolutely silent in public.
- BBut middle-aged women are far, far worse.
- CBut here's the part that really puzzles and irks me, particularly as I get older.
- DWomen put their unpaid labour into families but come out with less money, diminished social status and greater self-doubt.

73In one of the most dangerous regions of the planet, against all odds, a huge yet mysterious population of chimpanzees appears to be thriving – for now. Harboured by the remote and pristine forests in the north of the Democratic Republic of Congo and on the border of the Central African Republic, the chimps were completely unknown until recently – _____ But researchers who trekked thousands of kilometres through uncharted territory and dodged armed poachers and rogue militia, now believe the group are one of the last thriving chimp "mega-cultures".
- Awe estimate many thousands of individuals, perhaps tens of thousands.
- Bbut we did not catch a single film of a human.
- Cthe area at great risk of being opened up.
- Dapart from the local legends of giant apes that ate lions and howled at the moon.
- Eboth official security forces and militia are the source of much of the danger.
74Software is becoming a critical layer of all our lives. It is the language of our world. In the future, not knowing the language of computers will be as challenging as being illiterate or innumerate are today. Will every job in the future involve programming? No. But it is still crucial that every child learn to code. _____ it is about promoting computational thinking. Computational thinking is how software engineers solve problems. It combines mathematics, logic and algorithms, and teaches you a new way to think about the world. It teaches you how to tackle large problems by breaking them down into a sequence of smaller, more manageable problems. It involves creating models of the real world, and focussing on the most pertinent aspects. It helps you go from specific solutions to general ones.
- AIn a few weeks you will be able to build useful applications and websites;
- BIn the last few years, the UK has finally woken up to the importance of coding;
- CThe next generation’s world will be even more online and digital;
- DThe education system largely ignored the explosive growth of computing and the internet;
- EThis is not primarily about equipping the next generation to work as software engineers;
75Tesla said it. Einstein agreed. Science proved it. It is a known fact that everything—including our own bodies—is made up of energy vibrating at different frequencies. That being said, can sound frequencies affect us? They sure can. Frequencies affect frequencies; _____ The way frequencies affect the physical world has been demonstrated through various experiments such as the science of Cymatics and water memory.
- Abut it directly alters the vibration of matter.
- Bmuch like mixing ingredients with other ingredients affects the overall flavor of a meal.

(I) An analysis of a Neanderthal's fossilised hyoid bone - a horseshoe-shaped structure in the neck - suggests the species had the ability to speak. (II) This has been suspected since the 1989 discovery of a Neanderthal hyoid that looks just like a modern human's. (III) But now computer modelling of how it works has shown this bone was also used in a very similar way. (IV) Scientists say the study is "highly suggestive" of complex speech in Neanderthals - the hyoid bone, crucial for speaking, supports the root of the tongue. (V) Neanderthals were stockier and shorter than modern humans, with no chin and backwards sloping foreheads.- AI
