Home or University?
The last couple of years have been difficult ones for students. Most students around the world have had
to study at home, away from their friends and teachers. We asked 500 students at our university how they felt
about studying at home or at university. The majority of students said they prefer to study at university, and asmall number said they were not sure. We then asked their main reason for this choice.
The two most common reasons for preferring to study at university were that it was easier to study andmeet friends. Only 15% said that meeting teachers was their main reason for preferring to study at university,and only 4% said it meant they could go to the library. This was two percentage points less than the number ofpeople who said it meant they didn’t need to use a computer all the time.
The two most common reasons for preferring to study at home were that there was no need to travel,
followed by being able to study in your own time. 22% also found that it gave them more free time. Only 6%
said it meant they had more time to study, the same as the number of people who said it gave them more time todo part-time jobs.
From this, we can see that studying at university is easier for many students, and that university social life
is also very important for them too. At the same time, many students liked the freedom of studying at home andthe extra time it gave them. As life goes back to normal, we will have to think about how we can make studying
easier and more convenient for all our students. The university must do what it can to make it safe for students
to meet their friends and develop their social skills.

（13） What is the correct order for the letters A to C in the pie chart?
① university, home, not sure② home, university, not sure③ university, not sure, home④ There is not enough information to know the correct order.
（14） What were the most popular reasons for studying at university?
① no need to travel and more free time
② don’t need to use a computer and meet friends

Do you prefer to study at home or university?

③ easier to study and meet friends④ meet friends and meet teachers

On the 4th of February 1912, Franz Reichelt jumped off the Eiffel Tower in Paris, with a small crowd and④ no need to travel

④ make it easier to study at home

He had to wait a year to get permission to use the Eiffel Tower, and only got it by saying he would use amannequin. However, on the morning of the 4th, there were no mannequins to be seen. He had contacted
journalists from all the top newspapers the day before, telling them that it would be him who would be wearing
the suit and making the jump. A wave of excitement went through the crowd as, at 7 o’clock in the morning,
he stepped out of his car wearing his invention, made a brief speech, and started up the Tower, hoping to makehistory.
It is not unknown for scientists and inventors to try out their experiments on themselves, although it isdefinitely not recommended. Marie Curie the two-time Nobel Prize winner would often test the effects ofradiation on herself - and eventually died of cancer because of it. More（ 22 ）, many scientists experimented
on themselves in the hope of finding a vaccine for COVID-19.
Reichelt stood at the lowest platform of the Eiffel Tower, about 60 metres above the ground. His friends
who had seen the broken mannequins from his earlier experiments tried to convince him not to make the jump.
He waited 40 seconds with his foot on the edge before he jumped, perhaps thinking about becoming rich andfamous, perhaps thinking about his death. He smiled as he jumped. Less than four seconds later, he lay dead at
the bottom of the Eiffel Tower, his parachute only half open and wrapped around his broken body.
