• Read the passage below. Are the following statements TRUE, FALSE, or NOT GIVEN? Before you answer the questions:

    Would you prefer to be ‘popular’ or ‘well-liked? A new study from The Australian National University (ANU) has shown that for Canberra’s young people, being well-liked is much more desirable than being popular, and being popular does not always mean you’re well-liked. The study by Stephanie Hawke, a Ph.D. candidate in clinical psychology at ANU, looked at nearly 200 Year 9 and Year 11 students from across Canberra. It found that adolescents saw being popular and being well-liked as two very different things and that young people may not see popularity as a desirable trait. 

    The research has been released as part of National Psychology Week. It is the first Australian study to address the issue of popularity and what it means to young people. ‘Both boys and girls agreed that many popular teenagers are disliked by the year group as a whole,’ said Ms. Hawke. ‘This can be for several reasons such as bullying, having an attitude of superiority, and disrupting the classroom. Those students who are described as being both popular and well-liked manage to balance their high social status with positive qualities such as being kind and friendly.’ 

    The study also found that there was a complicated relationship between both individual and group popularity, and how these were perceived by students. ‘One interesting finding is that popular students are likely to belong to popular groups. This was contrasted with well-liked students, who were much less likely to belong to groups of well-liked peers,’ said Ms. Hawke. ‘It seems that being popular is about the group that you fit into, whereas being well-liked is about the individual person’s inherent characteristics. Almost all of the students interviewed said that they would prefer to be known as well-liked, as opposed to popular because this is a reflection of who they are as a person.’ She added that the results indicate that ‘popular’ students are not idealized in the way that popular culture sometimes portrays and that once other students are aware that many ‘popular’ students are not liked by others in the year group, they may lose the power they are perceived to have.

Electric cars are better than petrol cars in several ways. The biggest benefit is reduced pollution. In areas where there is a high percentage of electric cars, there is less pollution. But it is important to understand that electric cars still cause pollution. Remember that the electricity to power electric cars has to come from somewhere, which is most likely a power station. Unless these power stations run on solar or wind energy, they are most likely burning fossil fuels to make electricity. The second benefit of electric cars is a reduction in the dependence on foreign oil. There are several countries, including the United States, that don’t want to rely on oil coming from other countries to power their transportation systems. They want the power to come from within their country, and since electric cars can run on electricity from coal or nuclear power stations, there is less of a need to import oil.
