20. Paragraph VI
PLASTIC IS NO LONGER FANTASTIC
I. In 2017, Carlos Ferrando, a Spanish engineer-turned-entrepreneur, saw a piece of art in
a museum that profoundly affected him. ‘What Lies Under’, a photographic composition
by Indonesian digital artist Ferdi Rizkiyanto, shows a child crouching by the edge of the
ocean and ‘lifting up’ a wave, to reveal a cluster of assorted plastic waste, from
polyethylene bags to water bottles. The artwork, designed to raise public awareness, left
Ferrando angry – and fuelled with entrepreneurial ideas.
II. Ferrando runs a Spanish-based design company, Closca, that produces an ingenious
foldable bicycle helmet. But he has now also designed a stylish glass water bottle with a
stretchy silicone strap and magnetic closure mechanism that means it can be attached to
almost anything, from a bike to a bag to a pushchair handle. The product comes with an
app that tells people where they can fill their bottles with water for free.
III. The intention is to persuade people to stop buying water in plastic bottles, thus saving
consumers money and reducing the plastic waste piling up in our oceans. ‘Bottled water is
now a $100 billion business, and 81 per cent of the bottles are not recycled . It’s a
complete waste – water is only 1.5 per cent of the price of the bottle!’ Ferrando cries.
Indeed, environmentalists estimate that by 2050 there will be more plastic in our oceans
than fish and that’s mainly down to such bottles. ‘We are trying to create a sense that
being environmentally sophisticated is a status symbol,’ he adds. ‘We want people to clip
BAGDAD 2024

their bottles onto what they are wearing, to show that they are recycling – and to look
cool.’
IV. Ferrando’s story is fascinating because it seems like an indicator of something
unexpected. Three decades ago, conspicuous consumption – the purchase of luxuries,
such as handbags, shoes, cars, etc. on a lavish scale – heightened people’s social status.
Indeed, the closing decades of the 20th century were a time when it seemed that anything
could be turned into a commodity. Hence the fact that water became a consumer item,
sold in plastic bottles, instead of just emerging, for free, from a tap.
V. Today, though, conspicuous extravagance no longer seems desirable among
consumers. Now, recycling is fashionable – as is cycling rather than driving. Plastic water
bottles have become so common that they do not command status; instead, what many
millennials – young people born in the late 20th century – prefer to post on social media
are ‘real’ (refillable) bottles or even the once widespread Thermos bottles. Some
teenagers currently think that these stainless-steel vacuum-insulated water bottles that
are coming back onto the market are ultra ‘cool’; never mind the fact that they feel oddly
out-of-date to anyone over the age of 40 or that teenagers in the 1970s would have
avoided ever being seen with one.
VI. It is uncertain whether Clesca will succeed in its goal. Although its foldable bike
helmet is available in some outlets in New York, includ ing the Museum of Modern Art, it
can be very hard for any design entrepreneur to really take off in the global mass market,
though not as hard as it might have been in the past. If an entrepreneur had wanted to
fund a smart invention a few decades ago, he or she would have had to either raise a bank
loan, borrow money from a family member or use a credit card. Things have moved on
slightly since then.
PART 4
Read the following text for question 21-29.
The Power of Nothing
Geoff Watts, New Scientist (May 26th, 2001)
Placebos are treatments that have no direct effect on the body, yet still, work because the
patient has faith in their power to heal. Most often the term refers to a dummy pill, but it
applies just as much to any device or procedure, from a sticking plaster to a crystal to an
operation. The existence of the placebo effect implies that even quackery may confer real
benefits, which is why any mention of placebo is a touchy subject for many practitioners
of complementary and alternative medicine, who are likely to regard it as tantamount to a
charge of charlatanism. In fact, the placebo effect is a powerful part of all medical care,
orthodox or otherwise, though its role is often neglected or misunderstood.
BAGDAD 2024

One of the great strengths of CAM may be its practitioners’ skill in deploying the placebo
effect to accomplish real healing. “Complementary practitioners are miles better at
producing non-specific effects and good therapeutic relationships,” says Edzard Ernst,
professor of CAM at Exeter University. The question is whether CAM could be integrated
into conventional medicines, as some would like, without losing much of this power.
At one level, it should come as no surprise that our state of mind can influence our
physiology: anger opens the superficial blood vessels of the face; sadness pumps the tear
glands. But exactly how placebos work their medical magic is still largely unknown. Most
of the scant research done so far has focused on the control of pain because it’s one of
the commonest complaints and lends itself to experimental study. Here, attention has
turned to the endorphins, morphine-like neurochemicals known to help control pain.
But exactly how placebos work their medical magic is still largely unknown. Most of the
scant research to date has focused on the control of pain because it’s one of the
commonest complaints and lends itself to experimental study. Here, attention has turned
to the endorphins, natural counterparts of morphine that are known to help control pain.
“Any of the neurochemicals involved in transmitting pain impulses or modulating them
might also be involved in generating the placebo response,” says Don Price, an oral
surgeon at the University of Florida who studies the placebo effect in dental pain.
“But endorphins are still out in front.” That case has been strengthened by the recent
work of Fabrizio Benedetti of the University of Turin, who showed that the placebo effect
can be abolished by a drug, naloxone, which blocks the effects of endorphins. Benedetti
induced pain in human volunteers by inflating a blood-pressure cuff on the forearm. He
did this several times a day for several days, using morphine each time to control the pain.
On the final day, without saying anything, he replaced the morphine with a saline solution.
This still relieved the subjects’ pain: a placebo effect. But when he added naloxone to the
saline the pain relief disappeared. Here was direct proof that placebo analgesia is
mediated, at least in part, by these natural opiates.
Still, no one knows how belief triggers endorphin release, or why most people can’t
achieve placebo pain relief simply by willing it. Though scientists don’t know exactly how
placebos work, they have accumulated a fair bit of knowledge about how to trigger the
effect. A London rheumatologist found, for example, that red dummy capsules made more
effective painkillers than blue, green or yellow ones. Research on American students
revealed that blue pills make better sedatives than pink, a colour more suitable for
stimulants. Even branding can make a difference: if Aspro or Tylenol is what you like to
take for a headache, their chemically identical generic equivalents may be less effective.
It matters, too, how the treatment is delivered. Decades ago, when the major tranquilliser
chlorpromazine was being introduced, a doctor in Kansas categorised his colleagues
according to whether they were keen on it, openly skeptical of its benefits, or took a “let’s
BAGDAD 2024

try and see” attitude. His conclusion: the more enthusiastic the doctor, the better the
drug performed. And this year Ernst surveyed published studies that compared doctors’
bedside manners. The studies turned up one consistent finding: “Physicians who adopt a
warm, friendly and reassuring manner,” he reported, “are more effective than those
whose consultations are formal and do not offer reassurance.”

PART 5
Read the following text for questions 30-35.
DIRTY RIVER BUT CLEAN WATER
Floods can occur in rivers when the flow rate exceeds the capacity of the river channel,
particularly at bends or meanders in the waterway. Floods often cause damage to homes
and businesses if they are in the natural flood plains of rivers. While riverine flood damage
can be eliminated by moving away from rivers and other bodies of water, people have
traditionally lived and worked by rivers because the land is usually flat and fertile and
because rivers provide easy travel and access to commerce and industry.
FIRE and flood are two of humanity’s worst nightmares. People have, therefore, always
sought to control them. Forest fires are snuffed out quickly. The flow of rivers is regulated
by weirs and dams. At least, that is how it used to be. But foresters have learned that
forests need fires to clear out the brush and even to get seeds to germinate. And a similar
revelation is now dawning on hydrologists. Rivers – and the ecosystems they support –
need floods. That is why a man-made torrent has been surging down the Grand Canyon.
By Thursday, March 6th it was running at full throttle, which was expected to be sustained
for 60 hours.
Floods once raged through the canyon every year. Spring Snow from as far away as
Wyoming would melt and swell the Colorado river to a flow that averaged around 1,500
cubic metres (50,000 cubic feet) a second. Every eight years or so, that figure rose to
almost 3,000 cubic metres. These floods infused the river with sediment, carved its
beaches and built its sandbars.
However, in the four decades since the building of the Glen Canyon dam, just upstream of
the Grand Canyon, the only sediment that it has collected has come from tiny, undammed
tributaries. Even that has not been much use as those tributaries are not powerful enough
to distribute the sediment in an ecologically valuable way.
BAGDAD 2024

This lack of flooding has harmed local wildlife. The humpback chub, for example, thrived in
the rust-red waters of Colorado. Recently, though, its population has crashed. At first
sight, it looked as if the reason was that the chub were being eaten by trout introduced
for sport fishing in the mid-20th century. But trout and chub co-existed until the Glen
Canyon dam was built, so something else is going on. Steve Gloss, of the United States
Geological Survey (USGS), reckons that the chub’s decline is the result of their losing their
most valuable natural defense, Colorado’s rusty sediment. The chub were well adapted to
the poor visibility created by the chick, red water which gave the river its name and
depended on it to hide from predators. Without the cloudy water, the chub became
vulnerable.
And the chub are not alone. In the years since the Glen Canyon dam was built, several
species have vanished altogether. These include the Colorado pike-minnow, the razorback
sucker and the roundtail chub. Meanwhile, aliens including fathead minnows, channel
catfish and common carp, which would have been hard, put to survive in the savage
waters of the undammed canyon, have moved in.
So flooding is the obvious answer. Unfortunately, it is easier said than done. Floods were
sent down the Grand Canyon in 1996 and 2004 and the results were mixed. In 1996 the
flood was allowed to go on too long. To start with, all seemed well. The floodwaters built
up sandbanks and infused the river with sediment. Eventually, however, the continued
flow washed most of the sediment out of the canyon. This problem was avoided in 2004,
but unfortunately, on that occasion, the volume of sand available behind the dam was too
low to rebuild the sandbanks. This time, the USGS is convinced that things will be better.
The amount of sediment available is three times greater than it was in 2004. So if a flood
is going to do some good, this is the time to unleash one.
Even so, it may turn out to be an empty gesture. At less than 1,200 cubic metres a second,
this flood is smaller than even an average spring flood, let alone one of the mightier
deluges of the past. Those glorious inundations moved massive quantities of sediment
through the Grand Canyon, wiping the slate dirty, and making a muddy mess of silt and
muck that would make modern river rafters cringe.
For questions 30-33, fill in the missing information in the numbered spaces.
Write no more than ONE WORD and / or A NUMBER for each question.
The eco-impact of the Canyon Dam
Floods are people’s nightmare. In the past, the canyon was raged by flood every year. The
snow from far Wyoming would melt in the season of (30)_____________ and caused a

Dam, it only could gather (31)_____________ together from tiny, undammed tributaries.
humpback chub population reduced, why?
BAGDAD 2024

The non-stopped flow led to the washing away of the sediment out of the canyon, which
poses a great threat to the chubs because it has poor (32)______________ away from
predators. In addition, the volume of (33)__________ available behind the dam was too
low to rebuild the bars and flooding became more serious.
