Many countries will not allow cigarette advertising in their newspaper or on TV-especially_21_the advertisements are usually written with young people in mind. 22advertising, the tobacco companies have begun to 23sports events. They give money to football, motor racing, tennis and a number of 24sports on condition that the name of the cigarette is 25.This is now causing concern, because it does exactly what many 26 try to do-suggest that smoking has some connection 27being strong and athletic.

In all this, the point of view of the non-smokers has to be 28as well: “I 29smoker would stop  30 the air. I wish I could eat in a restaurant without having to 31 cigarettes smoke.” It has been 32that, in a room where a large number of people are smoking, a non-smoker will breathe in the 33of two or three cigarettes during an evening. 34, non-smokers are now majority in many western countries. More and more people are giving up the habit, discouraged by high 35, influenced by anti-smoking advertising or just aware that smoking is no longer really a polite thing to do.

Faced with  36sales, the western tobacco companies have begun to look outside their own countries. They have begun advertising campaigns to persuade 37people in developing countries that smoking American or British or French cigarette is a sophisticated western habit, which they should copy. 38 , more and more young people are spending the little money they have on a product which the 39  recognizes unhealthy and no longer wants. The high number of young smokers in India, in South America and in South East Asia will become some of tomorrow’s 40.

Filling in company application forms can become a boring and repetitive task. Yet any carelessness on an applicant’s part can draw a negative reaction from readers. Each company or organization usually uses its own specially designed form that, although it generally asks for the same basic information, may vary in detail. Consequently, the suggestions below apply mainly to the approach you should take.

When visiting future employers, always carry your personal data record with you so that you can easily search for details such as dates, telephone numbers, and other useful information.

Treat every application form as though it is the first one you are completing—write carefully and neatly.

Use words that describe the responsibility and different aspects of each job you have held rather than list only the duties you performed.

Particularly describe social activities that show your involvement in the community, or activities in which you held a teaching or coaching role.

Pay particular attention if there is a section on the form that asks you to comment on how your education and past experience have especially prepared you for the position.

Think this through very carefully before you write so that what you say shows a natural progression from past experience to the job you are applying for. If you can, and if they fit naturally, add a few words to demonstrate how the position fits your overall career plan.

People who spend their days glued to networking websites such as Facebook and Twitter are more likely to be depressed, a UK study has revealed.

A team of researchers at the University of Leeds have conducted the first large-scale survey of its kind to find a link between the Internet and depression.

“The Internet now plays a huge part in modern life, but its benefits are accompanied by a darker side,” said psychologist Catriona Morrison, lead of the study team. The survey was administered online, with ads placed on social networking sites, and 1,319 people took the tests. Participants were asked to answer questions in an Internet Addiction Test, an Internet Function Test (to see what people use the Internet for most) and the Beck Depression Inventory.

Morrison and her team found that 12 percent were “Internet addicted” . When they were matched against non-addicted Internet users within the survey, the difference in depression ratings was significant; the addicts showed higher levels of depression than their non-addicted counterparts.

In addition, the team found a connection between the type of sites visited and the level of user addiction. According to the study, Internet addicts spent more time on “gaming websites and online community/chat”, whereas the non-addicted group visited a wider range of sites. But Morrison gave some warnings of the study: The Internet Addiction Test, although a useful tool in studying this modern-age addiction, is not a perfect method of diagnosis. New tests including measurements of social isolation and loneliness may provide a more accurate measure to continue research in this area.

“What is clear”, said Morrison, “is that for a small group of people, excessive use of the Internet could be a warning signal for depressive tendencies.” The study also leaves many questions unanswered. Do people become depressed because they are addicted to the Internet or turn to the Internet because they ’ are depressed?

Morrison hopes future studies of Internet users will help define what this link might be. “We now need to consider the wider societal implications of this relationship and confirm clearly the effects of excessive Internet use on mental health.”

An advisor close to French President Nicolas Sarkozy said there are too many women teachers and that the situation should be ‘more balanced ’. ‘By reforming the whole profession, by offering a better salary, we hope to attract more men to the job, ’said a source close to the president.

Like other Western countries, France has seen an increasing feminization of education over the past 60 years. The rate of women teachers in primary schools went from 65% in 1954 to more than 82% nowadays. In private schools it peaked recently at 91%. In secondary education, the gap is still present, although less extreme.

The causes for such disparities are well-known. Men turn their backs to teaching because the profession has lost prestige. Moreover, young men very often choose scientific studies that are more likely to lead them to job opportunities that come with a higher salary than teaching.

French researcher Jean-Richard Cyterman and Alain Lopes found that women, when asked why they chose to become teachers, usually answer ‘to be able to work with children ’ or ‘to keep a healthy balance between professional and personal life’, or ‘because it was avocation’. A common response from men, in contrast, is that they wanted to work in public service.

In a 2008 report about working conditions in education, French education expert Marcel Pochard stated that an equal representation of men and women seemed to be almost out of reach. ‘But national education authorities should be careful, ’ he warned, ‘and try to avoid a complete feminization that could be blamed for giving a prejudiced vision of society to pupils ’.

Is that why boys don’t do as well as girls at school? They’re more upset, they tend to fail more easily and a smaller number of them manage to earn high school diplomas. But things may be more complex. Studies carried out in several countries have suggested there is no obvious link between the teacher’s gender and academic success. What matters most is the quality of the teacher-student relationship, according to Michele Asselin and Gisele Bourret two Canadian researchers.

Those who struggle the most at school are young people from poor families who also tend to be attached to traditional, stereotypical gender roles. They sometimes challenge the authority of women teachers, a French teacher says. Specialists agree on one point: There should be more men in schools, if for no other reason than to oppose the idea that education has become a women’s matter.
