Most forms of property are concrete and tangible, such as houses, cars, furniture or anything else that is included 
in one’s possessions. Other forms of property can be intangible, and copyright deals with intangible forms of property. 
Copyright is a legal protection extended to authors of creative works, for example books magazine articles, maps, 
films, plays, television shows, software, paintings, photographs, music, choreography in dance and all other forms of 
intellectual or artistic property. 
Although the purpose of artistic property is usually public use and enjoyment, copyright establishes the ownership 
of the creator. When a person buys a copyrighted magazine, it belongs to this individual as a tangible object. However, 
the authors of the magazine articles own the research and the writing that went into creating the articles. The right to 
make and sell or give away copies of books or articles belongs to the authors, publishers, or other individuals or 
organizations that hold the copyright. To copy an entire book or a part of it, permission must be received from the 
copyright owner, who will most likely expect to be paid. 
Copyright law distinguishes between different types of intellectual property. Music may be played by anyone after 
it is published. However, if it is performed for profit, the performers need to pay a fee called a royalty. A similar 
principle applies to performances of songs and plays. On the other hand, names, ideas and book titles are excepted. 
Ideas do not become copyrighted property until they are published in a book a painting or a musical work. Almost all 
artistic work created before the 20th century is not copyrighted because it was created before the copyright law was 
passed. 
The two common ways of infringing upon the copyright are plagiarism and piracy. Plagiarizing the work of 
another person means passing it off as one’s own. The word plagiarism is derived from the Latin plaglarus, which 
means “abductor”. Piracy may be an act of one person, but, in many cases, it is a joint effort of several people who 
reproduce copyrighted material and sell it for profit without paying royalties to the creator. Technological innovations 
have made piracy easy and anyone can duplicate a motion picture on videotape a computer program, or a book. Video 
cassette recorders can be used by practically anyone to copy movies and television programs, and copying software 
has become almost as easy as copying a book. Large companies zealously monitor their copyrights for slogans, 
advertisements, and brand names, protected by a trademark

correct answer to each of the questions. 
Cooperation is the common endeavor of two or more people to perform a task or reach a jointly cherished goal. 
Like competition and conflict, there are different forms of cooperation, based on group organization and attitudes. 
In the first form, known as primary cooperation, group and individual fuse. The group contains nearly all of each 
individual’s life. The rewards of the group’s work are shared with each member. There is an interlocking identity of 
individual, group and task performed. Means and goals become one, for cooperation itself is valued. 
While primary cooperation is most often characteristic of preliterate societies, secondary cooperation is 
characteristic of many modem societies. In secondary cooperation, individuals devote only part of their lives to the 
group. Cooperation itself is not a value. Most members of the group feel loyalty, but the welfare of the group is not 
the first consideration. Members perform tasks so that they can separately enjoy the fruits of their cooperation in the

form of salary prestige, or power. Business offices and professional athletic teams are examples of secondary 
cooperation. 
In the third type called tertiary cooperation or accommodation, latent conflict underlies the shared work. The 
attitudes of the cooperating parties are purely opportunistic: the organization is loose and fragile. Accommodation 
involves common means to achieve antagonistic goals: it breaks down when the common means cease to aid each 
party in reaching its goals. This is not, strictly speaking cooperation at all, and hence the somewhat contradictory term 
antagonistic cooperation is sometimes used for this relationship.

Stories about how people somehow know when they are being watched have been going around for years 
However, few attempts have been made to investigate the phenomenon scientifically. Now, with the completion of 
the largest ever study of the so- called staring effect, there is impressive evidence that this is a recognizable and genuine 
sixth sense. The study involved hundreds of children. For the experiments, they sat with their eyes (41) ___________ 
so they could not see, and with their backs to other children, who were told to either stare at them or look 
away. Time and time again the results showed that the children who could not see were able to tell when they were 
being stared at. In a total of more than 18, 000 trials (42) _____________ worldwide, the children correctly sensed 
when they were being watched almost 70% of the time. The experiment was repeated with the added precaution of 
putting the children who were being watched outside the room, (43) ____________ from the starters by the windows. 
This was done just in case there was some pretending going on with the children telling each other whether they were 
looking or not. This (44) _____________ the possibility of sounds being transmitted between the children. The results 
though less impressive, were more or less the same. Dr Sheldrake, the biologist who designed the study, believes
