Read the paragraph and answer the question:

Moreover, poor sleeping habits, smoking, poor nutrition, low physical activity, as well as low emotional intelligence are assumed to be other difficulties commonly observed in people addicted to the Internet. As scholars believe, people with high emotional intelligence may have less tendency to Internet addiction, because these people, due to their emotional intelligence, may be able to control their own or emotions and excitements of other people, and to make distinctions between them; plus, they may also be able to take advantage of their information in order to implement their own thoughts and actions as well. Regarding the remarks outlined above, a number of studies have investigated the relation between emotional intelligence and Internet addiction in Internet users, and as a result contradictory results were obtained, so the type (negative or positive) and strength of the relation between these concepts is still a matter of debate.

Taken from: Ranjbar H, Bakhshi M. The Association between Internet Addiction and Emotional Intelligence: A Meta-Analysis Study. Acta Facultatis Medicae Naissensis [serial online]. March 2018;35 (1):17-29. Available from: Academic Search Complete, Ipswich, MA. Accessed May 15, 2018.

Read the paragraph and choose the correct answer:

The book tells the stories of one hundred inspiring women from 1500 BC in the time of Ancient Egypt to the modern day. And each one comes with original art by sixty different female artists. The magic of the book lies in the way it is written. It’s not just boring biographies but is told in the style of fairy tales.

It begins ‘Once upon a time, there was a girl called Jessica who was afraid of water.’ We learn how Jessica sailed solo around the world at age 16. ‘All on her own, Jessica sailed on. She fought against waves as tall as buildings in New York, she woke up to the most beautiful sunrises, spotted blue whales, and watched shooting stars above her boat.’

The book is not just boring biographies because the author writes in a style of: 

Select one:
