Green pass: how are Covid vaccine passports working for Israel?
As the UK and other governments consider whether to give Covid-vaccinated people a certificate that
allows entry to bars, hotels, and swimming pools, one country, Israel, has already deployed its “green pass”.
The state of 9 million, which has administered jabs to half its population, released an app a week ago that
shows whether people have been fully inoculated against the coronavirus or if they have presumed
immunity after contracting the disease.
Malls and museums have reopened for all, but green pass holders get exclusive access to gyms, hotels,
theatres, and concerts, albeit with some limits. Indoor dining in restaurants and bars is due to be included in
the green pass scheme next week.
Life has not got “back to normal”, but it appears to be on its way. Street-side shops are reopening; hotels are
accepting bookings; even live music is reemerging from its long slumber. And while masks remain
mandatory, many older people who have already been vaccinated have stopped wearing them outdoors.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of

In competitive Irish dancing, dancers will perform different steps in a line of a dozen or more
dancers. A judge will watch several dancers at once, but if the judge perceives a single imperfection in the
dancer’s appearance or in her performance, he will move on to watch a better dancer. If a dancer cannot
catch and hold the attention of the judge, she has no chance of winning a medal or even a place.
The pressure this inspires can affect a dancer negatively because she is consequently more worried
about what people think of her instead of just doing her best. By emphasizing costume and appearance
generally, competitive Irish dance has become part of the cut-throat show business industry. Irish dance
instructors often give this advice: “Whatever happens, don’t cry; it will ruin your make-up” Pressure to
perform is a key element in any sport, and is often a positive factor in an athlete’s overall experience. In
modern-day competitive Irish dance, however, the pressure of appearance can have a negative impact on a
dancer’s career.
Nonetheless, when asked what Irish dancing means to them, most dancers will answer “close friends
and hard work”. Though almost half of a dancer’s score is determined by her appearance, the aspects of the
sport that don’t receive points, such as sportsmanship, friendships, tradition, community and artistry, still
remain of the greatest importance. These are the central ideas that are represented in Irish dance. In fact, the
designs on a solo dress have their origins in these ideas: those Celtic designs were created to represent
certain symbols, such as unity and friendship.
Because of the very visual nature of dance, external beauty, form, and expression obviously have a
large place in the sport. And, although the sheer complexity of costume preparation may seem
intimidating, in the drama of competitive Irish dance, it is legitimate. Visually, the true attraction of dance
competition is the athleticism and skill of the dancers, both as individuals and as teams. In the end, the
emphasis on appearance will only negatively affect the sport if it becomes more important than the other
aspects of competitive Irish dance.
