T h e Romance or a Busy Broker
itcher, a clerk in the office of Harvey Maxwell, broker, allowed a look of mild interest to visit his usually expressionless
face when his employer uickly entered at half past nine accompanied by his young lady stenographer. With a quick "Goodmorning, Pitcher," Maxwell hurried to his desk and then diveuVinto the great pile of letters and telegrams waiting there for him.
The young lady had been Maxwell's stenographer for a year. Pitcher noticed a difference in her ways this morning. Instead of going
straight to her desk, she was absent-mindedly moving around the office. Once she approached Maxwell's desk, near enough for
him to notice her presence.
The machin sitting at that desk was no longer a man; it was a busy New York broker, moved by wheels and springs.
"Weilwhat is it? Anything?" asked Maxwell sharply. He looked at her impatiently.
"Nothing," answered the stenographer, moving away with a little smile.
This day was Harvey Maxweh"s busy day. The desk telephone had a chroni attack of ringing. Messenger boys ran in and out with
messages and telegrams. The clerks in the office jumped about like sailors during a storm. Even Pitcher's face looked mor lively.
The broker was working like a machin. Stocks and bonds, loans and mortgages - here was a world of finance, and there was no
room in it for the human world or the world of natur.
When the lunch hour drew near, the tumult had slightly quietened down.
Maxwell stood by his desk with his hands fuli of telegrams, and a pen behind his right ear.
Through the window came the delicate, sweet odour of lilac that mad the broker for a moment immovable. This odour belonged
to Miss Leslie. It brought her image before his eyes. And she was in the next roomtwenty steps away.
"FU do it now," said Maxwell, half aloud. "Fil ask her now. I wonder I didn't do it long ago."
He hurried into the inner office and grabbed the desk of the stenographer.
She looked up at him with a smile. Maxwell was still holding papers with both hands and the pen was behind his ear.
"Miss Leslie," he began hurriedly, "I have but a moment to spare. I want to say something in that moment. Will you be my wife? I
haven't had time to show you my love in the ordinary way, but I really do love you. Talk quick, please. "
"Oh, what are you talking about?" exclaimed the young lady.
"Don't you understand?" said Maxwell, impatiently. "I want you to many me. I love you, Miss Leslie. I wanted to tell you, and
I grabbed a minut when things had quietened down a bit. They're calling me for the phone now. Tell them to wait a minut, Pitcher.
Won't you, Miss Leslie?"
The stenographer at first seemed overcome with amazement; then tears flowed from her eyes; and then she smiled through them,
and one of her arms touched the broker's neck tenderly.
,
"I know now," she said, softly. "It's this old business that has driven everything else out of your head for the time. I was frightened
at first. Don't you remember, Harvey? We were married yesterday evening at 8 o'clock in the Little Church Around the Corner."
Adaptedfrom The Romance ofa Busy Broker by O'Henry
Pitcher is a person who easily shows his emotions.

The stenographer's behaviour was not the same as usual.
The stenographer wanted Mr Maxwell to notice her presence.
Mr Maxwell did not mind Miss Leslie interrupting his work.
Miss Leslie's odour mad Mr Maxwell forget about his work for a short while.
Mr Maxwell wanted Miss Leslie to answer his question immediately.
7, I Miss Leslie showed no emotions towards Mr Maxwell.
| Mr Maxwell was too busy to remember an important event in his life.

. Hurling - a uniquely Irish gam

Although it may look like an ordinary gam, hurling has a very special meaning to Irish people: it is a symbol of their
national identity and character. It is also the country's favourite hobby.
Hurling is often compared to field hockey. However, this
analogy would be only partially true. Apart from the fact that
both games involve a stick and a bali, it is hard to notice any
other similarity. Surprisingly enough, hurling has in fact a lot to
do with such sports as football and rugby, especially when you
see what the players are allowed to do with the bali.
Hurling is played with fifteen players on each side on a field
larger than a football pitch. The aim of the gam is to hit a smali
bali called a sliotar with a wooden stick called a hurley in such
a way that it goes into the opponents' goal or above it. If the bali
goes around the goalkeeper and lands between two goalposts,
in the net, you score three pcints; hitting the bali over the goal
(but it must be between the H-shaped goalpost) gives you one
point. An average score would be about 22-18 over 70 minutes
of the game's official time.
Players are allowed to hit the bali not only when it is on the
ground, but also when it is high in the air. They can also catch
the bali in their hand (in which case they can carry it for not mor
than three steps), kick it or even hit it with an open hand. A player
who wants to carry the bali for mor than three steps, has to
balance the sliotar on the end of the hurley while running. When
performed at fuli speed, this last trick can look really impressive.
6.1
Hurling and field hockey
The fast pace of the gam combined with the rule allowing
the players to strike the bali above head height mean there is
a high risk of injury. This is why sice 2010 all players have
had to wear a protective helmet. Given the long history of the
gam, the regulation seems to have come uite late. The reason
for this is the genera opinion about the gam among the Irish:
hurling is a hard gam but it must be played fairly and with
respect for the other players. No exceptions are mad to this
rule, no matter if it is the hurling played by youth leagues or the
women's version of hurling (called camogie): in both cases, the
gam is as hard as that in the regular men's leagues and similar
safety policies must be followed. The only difference is the size
of the field and the weight and size of the euipment.
What is really surprising about hurling is the fact that although
the gam enjoys great popularity, it has remained purely
amateur. Most players have regular jobs and do not receive
any money for their performance unless they become team
managers. Also, most games are either free or the entry fee is
minimal.
There is no doubt that hurling is a unique sport in many ways.
It is also uniquely Irish, as it reflects typical Irish values: hard
work, fair play and the importance of the community.
6.4. Protective helmets
A. are very similar.
6.2
were for a long time seen as unnecessary.
B. have something in common.
have a long tradition in hurling.
C. should never be compared.
C. came too late.

You score mor points if you

hurling.
D, hit the hurley into the net.

6.3. The players are NOT allowed to

A. hit the bali when it is on the ground.
6,
balance the bali on the end of the stick.
A. it enjoys great popularity.

D. take too many steps with the bali in their

UK musie festivals
[_CJ
The United Kingdom has a long tradition of
musie festivals. There are a large number of
them, covering a wide variety of musie genres.
Her is the Top Five.

[pj
Glastonbury Festival
Ej
T in t h e P a r k
T in the Park is a three-day festival that has been held in

Scotland sice 2004. It takes place on the same weekend
as the Oxegen festival in Ireland (between lOth and 12th
July) and usually features a similar selection of artists.
Located in a huge area of a disused airfield in Balado, T
in the Park is one of the noisiest and craziest festivals in
Great Britain. Altogether, there are seven musie stages, as
well as other attractions such as a large funfair, numerous
shops and bars serving organie food and drink.
Wakestock
The festival started in Abersoch, North Wales, in 2000

as a wakeboard contest (wakeboarding is a combination
of water skiing and surfing) followed by a party in a car
park for 800 people with live performances of rock bands
and DJs. It stili remains the largest wakeboard competition
in Europ. You certainly couldn't ask for a mor scenie
location: the main three sites are situated at the foot of
the Snowdonia Mountains overlooking Cardigan Bay.
Wakestock welcomes both wakeboard and musie fans
between 1 Oth and 12th July.
The Glastonbury Festival is the world's largest green

field open-air musie and performing arts festival. Apart
from contemporary musie, the festival features such
attractions as dance, comedy, theatre, circus, a kid's area
and poetry. It is also committed to the protection of the
environment: it encourages water and energy saving and
the use of fair-trade produets. Glastonbury is a definite
must for every festival-goer. So, come to the Vale of Avalon
(they say this is where King Arthur was buried!) between
24th and 28th June.

Wireless Festival
Held over two days in London's Hyde Park, the Wireless

Festival is Britain's top event for fans of dance, pop,
and rock musie. There are also countless entertainment
adwities, including food stalls, chill out areas, and video
games areas. The festival takes place between 4th and 5th
July in the very heart of London with easy access to a lot
of tub lines and bus routes.
T h e Eden Sessions
The name of the festival comes from the name of its location
- the Eden Project, the world's largest glass-domed global
garden, referred to as the Eighth Wonder of the World.
The Eden Sessions offer a festival experience like no
other. The spectacular surroundings attract world-class
artists and the festival organisers use them to encourage
audiences to think about what they can do to help our
planet. The festival takes place in St Austell, Cornwall, on
various dates in July and August.
Which festival...
4.1.
...is located in the center of a big city?
4,2.

THREE MEN IM A
BOAT
It is a very extraordinary thing, but I never read a patent medicine advertisement without coming to the
conclusion that I am suffering from the particula&disease they are talking about there.
I remember going to a reading room one day to read about the treatment for some slight illness of which
I had a touch - hay fever, I think it was. I got down the book, and read all I came to read; and then, in an
unthinking moment, I lazily turned the pages, and began to study diseases, generally. I forget which was the
first disease I found - something horrible, I know - and, before I had looked half down the list of'warning
symptoms,' I realised I had got it.
I sat for a while, frozen with horror; and then, feeling tired and despaired, I again turned over the pages.
I came to typhoid fever - read the symptoms - discovered that I had typhoid fever, must have had it for
months without knowing it - began to get interested in my case, and decided to go to the bottom, and so
started alphabetically. I went through the twenty-six letters, and the only illness I could conclude I had not
got was housemaid's knee (that is a bad knee from kneeling down).
Then I wondered how long I had to live. I tried to examine myself. I felt my pulse. I could not at first
feel any pulse at all. Then, all of a sudden, it seemed to start off. I pulled out my watch and timed it. I mad
it a hundred and forty-seven to the minut. I tried to feel my heart. I could not feel my heart. It had stopped
beating. I tried to look at my tongue. I stuck it out as far as ever it would go, and I shut one eye, and tried
to examine it with the other. I could only see the tip, and the only thing that I could see from that was to
feel mor certain than before that I had scarlet fever.
I had walked into that reading-room a happy, healthy man. I went out feeling old, weak and in a very
bad condition.
I went to my doctor.
"Weil, whafs the matter with you?" he said.
And I told him how I came to discover it all.
Then he looked down me, took hod of my wrist, and then hit me over the chest when I wasn't expecting
it. After that, he sat down and wrote out a prescription, folded it up and gave it me, and I put it in my pocket
and went out.
I did not open it. I took it to the nearest chemisfs, and handed it in. The man read it, and then handed it
back. He said he didn't have it.
I asked: "Are you a chemist?"
He said: "I am a chemist. If I was a supermarket and family hotel combined, I might be able to help you
But this is too much for me."
I read the prescription. It said:
"1 pound beefsteak, with 1 pint bitter beer every 6 hours. 1 ten-mile walk every morning. Go to bed at
11 sharp every night. And don't stuff up your head with things you don't understand."
Adaptedfrom Three Men In A Boat (To Say Nothing OfThe Dog) by Jerome K. Jerome
I The narrator went to a reading room to carefully study different kinds of diseases.
While reading, the narrator mad a surprising discovery.
The narrator got seriously worried about his health.

j The narrator read the prescription as soon as the doctor had given it to him.
The man in the chemists couldn't help the narrator.
The prescription contained a surprising piece of advice.

Animals and their sixth sense

Dogs can track dminals and sniff out cancer in
humans. Honey-bees can be trained to find explosives.
Are animals the best and cheapest detectives?
The dog's nose is a million times mor sensitive than the human
nose. Not only can your four-legged friend sense the presence of
a little piece of meat inside a tightly-closed bag lying a few metres
away or immediately recognise people's characters, but he can also
sniff out cancer in humans.
6.1. Trudi's behaviour intrigued Ms. Gili Lacey

because she
A, started to come towards her mor often.
B. had never sniffed her leg before.
C. showed no interest in her leg.
D, showed unusual interest in her leg.
6.2. The ability of dogs to sniff out cancer in
humans
I
A, is anecdotal.
Trier is a famous case of a dog which helped its owner to discover

she had cancer. It involved a Dalmatian called Trudi. One day she
came towards her owner, Ms. Gili Lacey, and started sniffmg at
her leg like never before. She was doing it so intently and clearly
did not want to stop; it almost looked as if she was trying to bite
off the smali brown mark that had always been there on Ms.
Lacey's leg. Intrigued by thejdog's behaviour, the woman went to
see a doctor. As she uickly discovered, the Dalmatian was right:
the mark turaed out to be a dangerous kind of skin cancer. Once
she had it removed, Trudi lost interest in the womans leg!
There have been many cases like Trudi s but until recently, doctors
have been ignoring the owners'anecdotes. Recent studies, however,
prove that in most cases dogs can effectively sniff out skin and
prostat cancer.
It is not only dogs that help save peoples lives. As unbelievable
as it sounds, we can now detect explosives with the help of...
honey bees. Researchers have recently experimented with bees'
phenomenal sense of smell. It took the bees as little as a few
hours of training to correctly identify the presence of an exposive
or a drug. They were able to do this by flying above the surface
under which the dangerous substance had been hidden. Do these
findings mean that we are now going to use honey bees at airports
to check passengers' luggage and pockets? We will most probably
find out in the very near futur.
Other exceptional abilities which animals have also help them
sense approaching natural disasters. The recent tsunami in 2004
in Sri Lanka is a good example of this. The media talked about
large groups of elephants that had been seen running away from
the beach to higher grounds just before the tsunami struck. It was
also reported that during the hours before the deadly wave the
fishermen caught several times as many fish as they normally did.
This was because the fish were escaping from the place in which
the tsunami quake started. What is even mor surprising is that
while there were hundreds of thousands of people who died in
the tsunami, the number of the dead bodies of animals that were
found was relatively smali.
Itstill remains unclear how an animal's sixth sense works. Scientists
hypothesise that animals can recognise changes in the gradient of
the Earths surface. Other theories talk about the ability to hear
'infrasound' - the kind of sound which people cannot hear. Some
theories say that we also possessed the sbeth sense at one time, but
we lost this ability because it was no longer needed.
Whatever the correct explanation turns out to be, it is elear
that obsening the behaviour of animals can be of great use to
us. Although it will never replace professional sensors like
seismographs or satelites, it should nevertheless not be ignored.
72
B, is ignored by doctors.
C, has been confirmed by research.
D, works perfectlyin all cases.
6.3. Which of these sentences is NOT true of
honey bees?
A, They need some training to be able to
detect explosives.
B. They might be usedat airports.
C, They can detect explosives without any
training.
D. They use their sense of smell to detect
explosives.
6.4. During the tsunami in 2004,
A. there were less fish in the sea than usual.
B. strange animal behaviour was observed.
C
no animals died.
D, the media showed mostly elephants.

6.5. It is certain that the sixth sense that animals
have
A. can be explained by the infrasound
theory.
B. can be explained by the Earth's gradient
theory.
C. hasn't been properly explained yet.
D. has always been unique to animals.
6.6. The author's main intention is to
A
criticise people for never using animals

to save their lives.
8, list the amazing abilities that animals

have.
C. make people aware of the benefits of
using animals'abilities.
D
compare different abilities that animals

have.

The University of St Andrews is Scotland's first
university and the third oldest in the
English-speaking world.
4.1.
St Andrews is a smali town on the east coast of Scotland,

which is famous worldwide as the home of golf. But the
town is also known around the world for something other
than sport. Its university: the oldest in Scotland and the
third oldest in the English-speaking world after Oxford
and Cambridge.
4.2.
It was founded in 1410 and received the approval of the
Pope in 1413. By the time it was given royal authorisation
in 1532 from King James V of Scotland (the father of
Mary, Queen of Scots) the University had already grown
considerably and it was to continue to do so during *")
the rest of the 16th century. In fact, some university
buildings that are still in use today dat from that period.
4.3.
However, from the 17th century St Andrews began to
decline. When writer Samuel Johnson visited the town
in 1773, the university had only about one hundred
students. During the 19th century, things did not get
any better: in the 1870s, the student population was still
below one hundred and fifty.
76
This unsuccessful period can perhaps be explained by the

fact that the university concentrated mainly on classical
languages, theology and philosophy and in the 19th
century those subjects were less fashionable than mor
practical subjects like maths, science, medicine and law.
However, in 1897 the university founded University
College in the nearby city of Dundee. This became
a centr of medical, scientific and lega excellence and
soon the university became popular again, especially
amongst the upper classes.
4.5.
Today St. Andrews is a prestigious university with almost
9,000 students. It is known for its research excellence and
academic results.lt is usually considered to be one of the
top ten universities in the UK and one of the top 100 in
the world. In terms of entry reuirements it is the eighth
most demanding in the UK and there are generally ten
applications for every undergraduate place available.
4.6.
The university has some strange traditions. Before
becoming a student it is necessary to make a formal
promise to behave well in Latin (the Sponsio Academica).
During 'Raisin Weekend' every November first year
students are entertained by older students: the women
throw a tea party while the men organise a pub tour. This
ends in a spectacular fight with shaving foam on Monday
morning. But perhaps the wildest tradition of all is the
May Dip: on May the first students stay up all night
before running into the icy cold waters of the North Sea.

Best British Siteoms

In a 2004 BBC2 poll, the British public voted for their favourite British sitcom. Her is the fina Top Five.
The show tells the story of the ups and downs of an ambitious market trader Derek "Del Boy" Trotter, his brother Rodney and their
grandfather, later replaced by Uncle Albert. Del and Rodney are continually trying to get rich through doing all sorts of strange
business but most of their attempts fail. Much of the show's humour comes from Del's lack of good manners and Rodney's
stupidity. And of course from Uncle Albert, whose war anecdotes have become part of the history of English TV comedy.

Blackadder is set in mor than one historical era and follows the misfortunes of Edmund Blackadder (played by Rowan
Atkinson), who in each series is a member of a British family present at many important events in British history (from
the Middle Ages to World War I). Apart from Atkinson, the show also stars Hugh Laurie, who later became hugely popular
worldwide thanks to his role of Doctor House.

TheVfcaroTDibiey
The show follows the adventures of Geraldine Grainger, a cheerful and practical vicar of a smali country village called Dibley.
The villagers are initially shocked to find out that their vicar is going to be a woman (the Church of England mad a historie
decision in 1992 and allowed women to become vicars). However, they soon come to like Geraldine, who helps to improve
the village. The jokes in The Vicar of Dibley are softer and gentler than in other siteoms.
Set during World War II, Dad'sArmy focuses on the adventures of a group of British soldiers who are totally unprepared for
a real war. There is Private Frazer, a Scotsman who is always complaining about everything; Lance Corporal Jones, who
is far too old for the army; and Private Pik, a mummy's boy who, in contrast, is not old enough to be a soldier. The show is
famous for the brilliant acting and the memorable catch-phrases.

The show presents the hilarious adventures of Basil, an exceptionally rude hotel owner, his domineering wife Sybil, Polly the

NIN ETE EN
EIGHTY-FOUR
It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. Winston Smith, his chin pressed
to his breast in an effort to escape the terrible wind, slipped uickly through the glass doors of Victory
Mansions, though not uickly enough to prevent the stony dust from entering along with him.
The hallway smelt of boiled cabbage and old rag mats. At one end of it a coloured poster, too large for
indoor display, had been stuck to the wali. It showed simply an enormous face, mor than a metre wide: the
face of a man of about forty-five, with a heavy black moustache and strong handsome features. Winston
mad for the stairs. It was no use trying the lift. Even at the best of times it was seldom working, and at
present the electric current was cut off during daylight hours. It was part of the reduction in spending in
preparation for Hate Week. The fiat was seven sets of stairs up, and Winston, who was thirty-nine and
whose right leg was in a bad state, went slowly, resting several times on the way. At the top of each set of
stairs, opposite the lift, the poster with the enormous face gazed from the wali. It was one of those pictures
which are so arranged that the eyes follow you about when you move. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING
YOU, said the caption below.
Inside the fiat a deep voice was reading out a list of figures which had something to do with the
production of a form of iron. The voice came from a metal piece like a mirror which formed part of the
surface of the right-hand wali. Winston turned a switch and the voice sank somewhat, though the words
were still recognisable. The instrument (the telescreen, it was called) could be mad less bright, but there
was no way of shutting it off completely. He moved over to the window: a smallish figur, the weakness of
his body only emphasised by the blue overalls which were the uniform of the Party. His hair was very fair,
his face naturally happy, his skin roughened by hard soap and blunt razor blades and the cold of the winter
that had just ended.
Behind Winston's back the voice from the telescreen was still speaking cjuicky about iron and the
overfulfilment of the Ninth Three-Year Plan. The telescreen received and transmitted at the same time.
Any sound that Winston mad, above the level of a very Iow whisper, would be picked up by it; moreover,
so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal piece reuired, he could be seen as well
as heard. There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment.
How often, or using what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was unknown. It
was even possible that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rat they could pug in your wire
whenever they wanted to. You had to live - did live, from habit that became instinct - believing that every
sound you mad was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement closely watched.

NEW ZEALAND HEROES
The worlcPs greatest polyglot

Harold Williams is considered to be the world s greatest
polyglot. H e was listed in the Guinness Book of Records
as the only person who could speak as many as fifty-eight
languages fluently.
Williams was born in 1876 in New Zealand. From an early age, his
father - a well-educated pastor - trained him in Latin and Ancient
Greek. However, like most people his age, Harold was not very keen
on studying. It was only at the age of seven when he experienced
a strange sensation, which he later described as 'an explosion in his
brain, which radically changed his attitude to learning. From that
time on, his capacity to learn grew to an extraordinary degree. It
affected languages in particular.
He continued studying Latin while at the same time hungrily
acquired other languages. As a schoolboy he constructed a grammar
and vocabulary of the New Guinea language called Douban based
only on a copy of a gospel written in that language. Young Harold
spent his pocket money on buying New Testaments in as many
languages as he could. By the end of his life he had studied the Bibie
in twenty-six languages.
Before attending high school, he had managed to teach himself
Latin, Greek, Hebrew, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Maori,
Samoan.Tongan, Fijian and other Poynesian dialects.
Harold continued his education up to university level but his first
attempt was unsuccessful, as he failed mathematics at Auckland
University. He listened to his father's advice and became a pastor
himself at the age of twenty. It was then that he picked up Polish
and Russian.
Inspired by his fascination with the Russian writer Leo Tolstoy,
Williams decided to set off to Europ to visit the home of the
famous writer. However, before going to Russia, he first went to
Germany to continue his university education. Harold studied
philology, ethnology, philosophy, history and literatur and in 1903
gained his PhD in languages. These years as a student were marked
by poverty. Harolds grant from New Zealand had uickly run out
and he was forced to sell his books and the prizes he had won at
school. He also taught English part-time to earn some money.
As a result of his study of Slavic languages, Williams became
interested in Russia. He uickly started his career as a journalist
and soon established himself as an authority on Russian affairs. By
1914 he was already living in Russia. Supposedly, he knew Russian
grammar much better than most of his Russian friends. During this
time he also learnt Fmnish, Latvian, Estonian, Georgian and Tartar.
The outbreak of the Russian Revolution forced Williams *î leave
Russia. He arrived in Britain where for some time he worked for
the British government. At that time he taught himself Japanese,
Old Irish, Tagalog, Hungarian, Czech, Coptic, Egyptian, Hittite,
Albanian, Basque and Chinese. He mastered a book of 12,000
Chinese Mandarin characters.
Despite a vast knowledge of languages and his great experience in
journalism, Williams was unemployed for a few years. In 1921 his
uck changed and he was offered a job in The Times. He held the
position of foreign editor until his early death in 1928.
Williams incredible gift for languages is still a mystery. He still
holds the title of the workTs greatest polyglot.

SIGN LANGUAGES
We have all seen deaf people talking to each other using gestures. Very few o f us, however, ever bother to
find out h o w sign languages work. As a result, we often hod false views about them.
4.1.
One of many myths about sign languages is that they are
the same in every country around the world. It is true that
they share some common features, such as certain visual and
spatial ways in which words are expressed, but they all have
their own unique rules and vocabularies.
4.4.
Besides, it's not only simple gestures with the hands that
make up a sign language. Eually important are facial
expressions, which are an integral part of communication
and can change the meaning of your sign. For example,
when a user of American Sign Language makes his or her ]
facial expression intense when signing the word "quiet", he
or she means "very quiet".
4.2.
4.5.
Another commonly heard theory that is completely false is
that sign languages cannot refer to abstractions. In fact, it
is uite the opposite: not only can you tell jokes that have
double meaning but you can also create sophisticated poetry.
Sign languages have signs for all the abstract concepts found
in spoken languages.
*
4.3.
Furthermore, sign languages are not just visual
representations of the words of a spoken language. For
example, deaf people do not draw a tree in the air with their
hands when they want to say 'a tree', nor do they mime the
act of sleeping when they talk about sleeping. There are a lot
of gestures which are specific to sign languages only and
cannot be easily interpreted.
88
Therefore, learning a sign language is not as easy as it may

look. It is just like learning any other foreign language: it
takes time and requires a lot of patience. The beginnings
can be difficult because there are a lot of signs to learn and
many of them are similar to each other. Also, like any other
liying languages, sign languages are developing all the time.
4.6.
Finally, it is not true that sign language is only for deaf
people. Researchers have shown that teaching it to hearing
children helps their language development. Even when they
are still not able to produce vocal speech, babies can often.
communicate with their parents by using gestures! So it
seems quite logical to teach them sign language.

T H E SECRET GARDEN
"Has he become mormor strange?" her master

asked.
On his long railroad journey he found himself thinking

of his boy as he had never thought in all the ten years
past. During those years he had only wished to forget
him. He remembered the black days when he had been
furious with the child simply because it was alive and
the mother was dead. He had refused to see it, and
when he had gone to look at it at last it had been such
a weak miserable thing that everyone had been sur it
would die in a few days. But to the surprise of those
who took care of it the days passed and it lived and
then everyone believed it would be a deformed and
crippled creature.
"Thats it, sir. He's growing very strangewhen you

compare him with what he used to be."
C,Where is Master Colin now?" Mr. Craven asked.
"In the garden, sir. He's always in the garden."
Inside the garden there were sounds. It seemed like
the laughter of children who were trying not to be
heard but who in a moment or soas their excitement
increasedwould come running.
Suddenly a boy burst through the door in the wali at
fuli speed and, without seeing the outsider, ran almost
into his arms.
He had not meant to be a bad father, but he had not

felt like a father at all. He hardly ever saw the boy
except when he was asleep, and all he knew of him
was that he was disabled and easily became hysterical.
"Perhaps I have been all wrong for ten years," he said
to himself. "Ten years is a long time. It may be too late
to do anythingquite too late."
W h e n he arrived at the Manor, he went into the
library and sent for Mrs. Medlock.
"How is Master Colin, Medlock?" he asked.
"Weil, sir," Mrs. Medlock answered, "he'she's
different."
"Worse?" he suggested.
"Weil, you see, sir," she tried to explain, "neither Dr.
Craven, nor the nurse, nor me can exactly understand
him."
"Why is that?"
"To tell the truth, sir, Master Colin might be better
and he might be changing for the worse. His appetite,
sir, is difficult to understandand his ways"
Mr. Craven had extended his arms just in time to save

the boy from falling, and when he held him away to
look at him, he could not believe his eyes.
"WhoWhat? Who!"he stammered.
This was not what Colin had expectedthis was
not what he had planned. He had never thought of
such a meeting. And yet to come runningwinning a
raceperhaps it was even better.
"Father," he said, "Tm Colin. You cant believe it.
I hardly can mysef. Tm Colin. It was the garden that
did itand Mary and Dickon and the creaturesand
the Magie. No one knows. We kept it to tell you when
you came. Tm well, I can beat Mary in a race. Tm going
to be an athlete."
He said it all so like a healthy boyhis face was
lively, and he was speaking uickly because of his
excitementthat Mr. Cravehs soul shook with
unbelieving joy.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF CHOCOLATE

We tend to think of chocolate as a sweet created during modern times. But chocolate actually dates back to the
ancient peoples of Mesoamerica who enjoyed it as a bitter drink.
The tastysecretofthecacaotree, which chocolate is mad from,
was discovered 2,000 years ago in the tropical rainforests of the
Americas.
The first people who mad chocolate were the ancient cultures
of Mexico and Central America.These people, including the Maya
and Aztec, mixed ground cacao seeds with various spices to make
a hot, bitter drink.
The drink was considered so precious that it was initially intended
only for the most important people in society: rulers, priests,
decorated soldiers and honoured merchants. Chocolate also
played a special role in both Maya and Aztec royal and religious
events: priests presented cacao seeds as offerings to the gods and
served chocolate drinks duringsacred ceremonies.
Europe's first contact with chocolate came during the conquest
of Mexico in 1521. The Spanish recognised the value attached to
cacao and followed the Aztec custom of drinking chocolate. Soon
afterwards, the Spanish began to transport cacao seeds back
home. Slowly they started adding cinnamon and other spices to
it and began sweetening it with sugar. They managed to keep
their delicious drink a Spanish secret for almost 100 years before
the rest of Europ discovered what they were missing. Sweetened
chocolate soon became extremely popular.
Because cacao and sugar were expensive imports, only those with
money could afford to drink chocolate. In fact, in France, chocolate
6.1. Chocolate was discovered
was a state monopoly that could be consumed only by the

aristocracy. Like the Maya and the Aztecs, Europeans developed
their own special protocol for the drinking of chocolate. They even
designed special porcelain and silver serving sets for chocolate that
acted as symbols of wealth and power.
For centuries, chocolate remained a handmade luxury, drunk only
by society's upper classes. But by the 1800s, mass production had
mad it affordable to a much broader public: the steam engine
mad it possible to grind cacao and to produce large amounts
of chocolate cheaply and quickly. Later inventions like the cocoa
press mad it possible to create smooth, creamy, solid chocolate
for eatingnot just liquid chocolate for drinking.
New processes and machinery have improved the quality of
chocolate and the speed at which it can be produced. However,
cacao farming itself remains basically unchanged. People grow
cacao in equatorial climates all around the world today using
traditional techniques first developed in Mesoamerica: cacao is still
harvested, fermented, dried, cleaned, and roasted mostly by hand.
Today, additional steps in the processing of cacao have helped
to create a variety of new flavours and forms. One thing has not
changed, though: chocolate still remains people's favourite sweet.
As someone nicely put it: 'I could give up chocolate but l'm not
a quitter'.

T H E R E D BADGE O F COURAGE
The boy still could not believe this. So they were at last going to fight. Tomorrow, perhaps, there would be a battle,
and he would be in it.
He had, of course, dreamed of battles all his lifeof (festant and bloody conflicts that had thrilled him with their
greatness. In visions he had seen himself in many fights. But awake he had seen battles as just marks on the pages
of the past.
He had wanted several times to fight in the war in his own country. He had read of marches, conflicts, and he had
wanted to see it all.
But his mother had discouraged him. She did not understand his excitement. She could calmly seat herself and with
no difficulty give him many hundreds of reasons why he was mor important on the farm than on the field of battle.
However, the newspapers, the gossip of the village, his own imagination had intensified his emotions.
One night, as he lay in bed, he had heard the voices of people happily talking about a great battle. These voices had
mad him shake in an ecstasy of excitement. Later, he had gone down to his mother's room and had said: "Ma, Fm
going to enlist."
"Henry, don't you be a fool," his mother had replied. There was an end to the matter for that night.
But the next morning he had gone to a town that was near his mother's farm and had enlisted in a company that was
forming there. When he returned home his mother was milking one of the cows. "Ma, I've enlisted," he had said to
her shyly. There was a short silence. "Everything is in the hands of the Lord, Henry," she had finally replied, and
had then continued to milk the cow.
When he had stood in the doorway with his soldier's clothes on his back, and with the light of excitement in his
eyes almost taking control over the regret for the memories of home, he had seen two tears on his mother's cheeks.
Still, she had disappointed him by saying nothing whatever about his returning in glory. He had expected a beautiful
scen. He had prepared certain sentences which he thought could be used with touching effect. But her words
destroyed his plans. She had been busy peeling potatoes and addressed him as follows: "You watch out, Henry, and
take good care of yourself in this fighting business."
"I've knitted you eight pair of socks, Henry, and I've put in all your best shirts, because I want my boy to be just as
warm and comfortable as anybody in the army."
"I've put a cup of blackberry jam with your clothes, because I know you like it above all things. Goodbye, Henry.
Watch out, and be a good boy."
He had, of course, been impatient during her speech. It had not been uite what he expected, and he had listened to
it with some irritation. He left feeling a kind of relief.
Still, when he had looked back from the gate, he had seen his mother kneeling among the potato skins. Her brown
face was covered with tears, and she was shaking. He bowed his head and went on, feeling suddenly ashamed of
his plans.

Can complain
The 'can't complain' attitude has always been an integral
part of British culture. However, with Britain's uality of
customer service getting worse, people are now starting to
complain mor than ever before.
At first glance, it seems like a simple case: we buy a phone

and, after some time, one of its parts gets broken. We take the
phone back to the phone centr and ask to have it repaired under
warranty. As we uickly discover, however, the issue may be mor
complex than we initially thought. First, the company may insist
that it is not one of their phones that we bought, and even if they
do eventually agree, they can refuse to send it to the repair centr
because of 'data protection'. So, we are left with the broken phone
and no right to complain anymore. This is exactly what happened
to 39 year-old Kirsten Hey from Edinburgh, who was literally
reduced to tears by one o^ the UK's phone companies.
I

Kirsten's case is one of a great many examples of Britain's poor

customer service. According to the results of a survey carried
out in 2006 by the Institute of Customer Service, sixty per cent
of respondents said that they would be willing to complain about
bad service they experienced, which is ten per cent mor than five I
years earlier. What's mor, if the survey was repeated today, that
figur would be even higher.

1
i What has happened? Why are the British mor willing to complain
these days, even though we have had a long tradition of accepting
1 the most uncomfortable situations as long as this lets us avoid
complaining in public?
One of the reasons is the rise in people's expectations. Given the
enormous selection of goods and services, we have become mor
choosy than ever before. Also, the consumerist society we live in
promotes the idea of a happy, fuli life: if we don't feel happy, there
must be something wrong and someone to complain to about this.
But it is also companies themselves which are responsible. Too
often, we don't receive the services we were promised. Appliances
stop working, packages don't arrive or turn up broken. Whafs
worse, nobody seems to care. When we phone up to complain, we
are forced to spend hours waiting ...
Cali centres, which began to appear in Britain in the 1970s, were
thought up as an efficient and cost-effective way to deal with
customer complaints. Unfortunately, cutting costs is often taken
to extremes: customer service agents often receive poor training
and poor salaries and are ordered to follow precise cripts that
supposedly list all possible customer uestions. What's worse,
agents are aware that the faster they can complete a cali, the mor
efficient they are considered to be, whether the customer is really
helped or not.
What should be done, then, to limit the alarming number of
complaints?
It seems that unless companies end their obsession with reducing
costs and don't see the link between customer service and profit,
we can't expect much of an improvement. Luckily, there are some
companies out there which have already realised the importance of
customer satisfaction. Let's hope this trend continues.

A family-run business that can't stop growing:
another British success story.
4.1.
Greggs the bakers is a phenomenonal success story. It currently

has 1,450 stores, making it the largest fast-food outlet in Britain,
ahead of McDonalds, Subway and Costa Coffee. Profits for the
first six-months of this year were 18.6 million. The company
has recently announced plans to open another six hundred
stores in the next few years.
4.4.
The reason for the company s prosperity is that it bakes its own
products in central bakeries around the country and delivers
them fresh each day to the shops. This allows it to keep prices
Iow. A chocolate muffin costs 75p; a sausage roli just 56p; and
tomato soup with a buttered roli only 1.13. They also offer
special lunchtime 'meal deals', e.g. a sandwich, a packet of crisps
and a drink for 2.99. These prices compare very favourably
with other fast-food outlets.
4.5.
4.2.
Creggs started as a family-run bakery in the north-east of
England in 1939. It opened its first shop in Gosforth near
Newcastle in 1951. In the 1960s it began to expand by taking
over other bakeries around the country and now it is by far the
largest specialist retail bakery chain in the UK. It even has four
stores in Belgium.
4.3.
The shops sell typical British freshly baked products such as
sausage rolls, Comish pasties, steak pies, cakes, muffins and
biscuits; as well as sandwiches, hot and cold filled rolls, soups
and drinks. Apart from the lunchtime business, Creggs also
sells porridge, croissants and bacon rolls for breakfast. Their
shops also offer regional specialities. And products can change
according to the time of year. For example at Halloween you
can buy cakes decorated with witches and ghosts.
100
The latest advertising slogan for Greggs is 'The Home of Fresh

Baking', which replaced previous slogans such as 'Ready when
you are' and 'Got To Get To Greggs'. Actress and model Milla
Jovovich loves Greggs food and has said that she would be
willing to be the 'face of Creggs' in a publicity campaign. The
company, however, uses its own employees in advertisements
and so far has not contacted the actress.
4.6.
But how healthy is the food at Greggs? When Channel 4 carried
out an investigation of all high-street fast-food retailers, Greggs
was found to have the highest levels of fat in its products. Since
then the company has tried to reduce fat and salt content to
make their products healthier. It's hard to argue that a sausage
roli or a chocolate muffin makes for healthy eating. However,
Greggs, point out that they do have healthier options on offer
in their shops.

TEARS OF THE GIRAFFE

It was the first day of Mma Makutsi's promotion to assistant detective, and Mma Ramotswe had just explained
to her that although she was now a private detective she still had secretarial duties.
She had realised that she would have to mention me> subject, to avoid misunderstandings.
'I can't employ both a secretary and an assistant,' she said. 'This is a smali agency. I do not make a big profit.
You know that. You send out the bills.'
Mma Makutsi's face had shown her disappointment. She was dressed in her smartest dress, and she had done
something to her hair, which was standing on end in little points. It had not worked.
'Am I still a secretary, then?' she said. 'Do I still just do the typing?'
Mma Ramotswe shook her head. T have not changed my mind,' she said. 'You are an assistant private
detective. But somebody has to do the typing, don't they? So you're still a secretary too.'
Mma Makutsi's face brightened. 'That is all right. I can do all the things I used to do, but I will do mor as
well. I shall have clients.'
Mma Ramotswe drew in her breath. She had not thought of giving Mma Makutsi her own clients. Her idea
had been to give her tasks to be performed under her control. The actual management of cases was to be her own
responsibility. But wasn't it selfish to keep the clients to herself? How could anybody start a career if those at the
top kept all the interesting work for themselves?
'Yes,' she said quietly, 'You can have your own clients. But I will decide which ones you get. You may not
get the very big clients... to begin with. You can start with smali matters and work up.'
'That is quite fair,' said Mma Makutsi. 'Thank you, Mma. I do not want to run before I can walk. They told
us that at the Botswana Secretarial College. Learn the easy things first and then learn the difficult things. Not the
other way round.'
'Thafs a good philosophy,' said Mma Ramotswe. 'Many young people these days have not been taught that.
They want the big jobs right away. They want to start at the top, with lots of money and a big car.'
'That is not wise,' said Mma Makutsi. 'Do the little things when you are young and then work up to doing
the big things later.'
'You will still make the tea,' she said firmly. 'You have always done that very well.'
T am very happy to do that,' said Mma Makutsi, smiling. 'There is no reason why an assistant private
detective cannot make tea when there is nobody mor junior to do it.'

Happy Camping?
I thought camping would be wonderful, then I tried it.
It seemed like a good idea at the time. I was reading a holiday brochure wondering how to spend my summer break when I saw a
photo of happy campers under a blue sky at a lovely campsite. Why not go camping? I thought. It could be fun, and it certainly wasn't
expensive.
I'd only ever been camping once before, when I was a teenager. On the first day l'd got hopelessly lost, been unable to put my tent
up and ended up in a cave waiting for the mountain rescue team. I suppose I shouldn't have gone on my own and I should have
remembered to take a map too. But this time I was sur it would be different.
There was a sale on at my local camping stor. I bought a tent, a sleeping bag, an air mattress and an electric torch for less than the
cost of one night in a hotel. I packed my rucksack and checked off everything on my list. I was ready. Nothing could go wrong.
As soon as I walked into the campsite, I realised I had forgotten something. It was dinner time and my fellow campers were all sitting
outside their tents, camper vans and caravans cooking sausages in frying pans on little blue camping stoves. I didn't have a camping
stove. Or a frying pan. Or any sausages. Never mind, I could eat at the local pub. It was only three miles away.
First, I had to put up my tent. Unfortunately the instructions were not very elear. In fact, they were impossible to understand. As for
the pictures, I wasn't even sur which way up to hod them. But after an hour, the tent was up. I inflated my mattress, unrolled my
sleeping bag and went to the pub.
After my meal, which was excellent, I realised something. It gets very dark in the country at night. I could hardly see a thing. It was
a good thing l'd bought that torch. It was just a pity l'd left it in the tent. It took me almost two hours to get back to the campsite.
I was cold, I had mud up to my knees and I was hungry again.
The only thing to do was to go to sleep. At least the sleeping bag was warm, and the inflatable mattress was comfortable too. I woke
up in the middle of the night feeling thirsty. My back ached because my inflatable mattress had lost its air. It was raining heavily
outside. Unfortunately, it was also raining inside the tent. The bottom of my sleeping bag was totally wet. I didn't sleep for the rest
of that night.
The next night was much better, however. I was warm, dry, comfortable and I slept well. I woke up to the smell of frying bacon.
Camping isn't so bad, I thought, it's just not for me. So I got up, got dressed, closed the door behind me, went downstairs, walked
through the reception area to the dining room and sat down to eat my breakfast.

D-DAVID,G-GAMBO
D: 1'm here in Borno State, a very dry region in northeastern Nigeria. The people here have a problem. Every
year, millions of insects - locusts to be mor specific - fly
in incredibly large groups onto their land and eat all the
fruit, cereals and vegetables. But the people have found
a solution to this problem. They eat the locusts, which
they say are delicious. With me is local man, Gambo
Ibrahim who has been hunting locusts for eight years.
Gambo, is it easy to catch the locusts?
G: No, David, not really. The locusts can fly and obviously
we cannot so we have to catch them on the ground. They
tend not to fly at night because it's really cold and dark. So
thats when we go after them.
D: What equipment do you need?
G: You need protective clothes and a powerful light on
your head, an electric torch, for example. It gets very dark
in the desertat night.
D: The torch is also a trap, isn't it?
G: That's right. The locusts are attracted to the light and
they fly into your face so all you have to do is pick them
off and put them in a bag.
D: What do you do with them when you've caught them?
G: We sell them in the market. For a bag of live locusts
you get from $26 to $30.
D: What happens to them then?
G: The people who buy them, women mostly, cover them
with salt, pepper and spices, fry them in vegetable oil and
sell them on the streets as a snack.
D: What do they taste like?
G: Weil, they may not look very nice, but they taste good.
The back legs are the tastiest part.
D: I believe they're quite nutritious.
G: Oh yes, very nutritious: theyYe very Iow in fats and
carbohydrates, rich in proteins and theyYe crunchy too.
D: Weil, the time has come for me to try one... May
I?... Thankyou... Heregoes... Hmm... It is crunchy....
Delicious! Can I have another one?

Summer's over and it's time to go back to school. So, our
question this morning is, 'who was your most memorable
teacher when you were at school and why?'
1 Ma Crawford was my English teacher at secondary
school. She was an impressive woman. She hardly ever
stood up and she never raised her voice. But there were
never any problems of discipline in her class. We were all
so fascinated in what she had to say. I never liked reading
novels or poetry until she startcd teaching me. But she
had a way of making complex things seem simple and real,
and relevant to my life.
2 I was always getting into trouble at school when I was
a teenager. I didnY like teachers who treated us like
children. But there was one teacher who was different:
Mr Christie the history teacher. He asked us what we
thought about things and listened to our opinions; and
he never punished us if we didnY do our homework, but
just explained why he thought we should. I thought he
was great.
3 The teacher I remember best was my maths teacher,
Doc Smith, but not for teaching maths. He coached the
rugby team in his free time. He spent hours every week
training us and going to matches around the country with
us, without getting paid a penny for it! III never forget the
way he would jump up and down and shout instructions
from the side of the pitch. He was so enthusiastic.
4 She was only with us for a year but III never forget
her. She's the reason I did French at university, Her name
was Annick Guillochon. She was a French assistante, an
assistant teacher. She was only a few years older than
as but she took French from the pages of the book and
rurned it into a real living language. She was beautiful too.
was really upset when she went back to France.
5 Mr Sinclair the science teacher. He was like the typical
~âd professor, you know like the guy in those 'Back to the
ûture' films? He had bushy white hair and a moustache
and we used to cali him Einstein. He did incredible

experiments which sometimes went terribly wrong and
resulted in explosions and so on. Nobody ever fell asleep
in his class! You never knew what was going to happen
next!
MP304
When he rang the doorbell and I opened the door and
saw him and he said he was there about the fiat, about
the room to rent, I just looked at him. I wasnY expecting
a man. He smiled and asked me if he had the right
address, i f m y name was June and if I was lookingfora
flatmate. I nodded. He asked me if he could come in.
I was about to say no, you canY. 1'm looking for a female
flatmate thats why I wrote 'female flatmate wanted' in
the advert. I was about to tell him to get lost, politely, of
course. But I didnY. I donY know why, but I didnY. I just
invited him in. 'Sit down,' I said. 'Cup of tea?' He sat on
the sofa in the living room while I hurried through to the
kitchen to make the tea, Share my fiat with a man? A man
I didnY know! A man I had only just met! No, that was
stupid. 'Milk and sugar?' I shouted through the open door.
'Just milk', he said. He had a nice voice. But I didnY want
to share with a man. Men never help with the housework.
Men are dirty and noisy and want to watch football on
the telly all the time. No, it just wouIdnY work. I decided
to tell him straight away that I was looking for a woman
to hare with and he just wasnY suitable. I went through
to the living room, put the mugs on the coffee table and
looked him in the eye. 'Biscuit?' I said. 'No, thanks', he
said. He sipped his tea. He had very nice eyes. Very dark
hair, a bit long maybe, but he could get it cut. Tell him,
I told myself. Tell him he's wasting his time. I took a deep
breath and spoke again. 'Listen', I said in my most serious
voice. 'Yes', he replied. 'Would you like to see the fiat?
I asked. He smiled. He had a lovely smile. I felt as if I was
dreaming. With some difficulty, I stood up and showed
him round the kitchen, the bathroom, my room and then
finally I opened the door to the spare room. 'And this,'
I said, 'would be your room'. He stood next to me. He was
tali, I noticed. Slim too. He asked how much the rent was
and if it included heating and water and so on. I answered
automatically. Ten minutes later he was gone. The next
morning he moved in. He was the best flatmate I ever
had. He stayed for two years. But he's not my flatmate
any mor. We didnY argue. He didnY find a better fiat
somewhere else. And he didnY move away to another
town. No, weYe still together, but he's not my flatmate any
mor. He's my husband now.
Colossus, but this has not happened as yet.

As youTI quickly discover, most of the island's main tourist

3 This weekjennifer visits Birmingham where she meets
41-year-old Stephanie May, who works as a shop assistant
at a garden centr. Stephanie has been wearing the same
type of dress for the last twenty years. What's worse, her
wardrobe contains only one colour: grey. 'Boring!' says
Jennifer and finally manages to convince Stephanie to try
on some smart new clothes. You certainly canY miss the
results of the makeover!
4 The World Cup has finally kicked off. Even though it's
June, it's Winter time in Brazil. Will the weather affect the

gam as hosts Brazil get the tournament underway.
5 Yvette Hall hosts football player turned musician Chris

TEST 1
On behalfof Best Holiday Tours l'd like to welcome you
all to Rhodes - the beautiful capital of the Greek island
of Rhodes. My name is Andrea Hill and l'll be your tour
manager for the next few days. Right now we are taking
you to your hotels. Our first stop is the Sunset Beach
Hotel, which we will be arriving at in about twenty
minutes. The second hotel on our list - the Golden
Sand Resort - is another ten minutes away. The fina
stop is the Blue Ocean Hotel, which shouIdnY take us
mor than forty minutes to get to. Please let me give
you a few basie facts about this beautiful island. Rhodes
is the fourth largest Greek island in terms of both land
area and population. It is often referred to as "the Island
of the Sun" because of its patron - Helios, the Greek god
of the sun. This reputation is fully justified, as Rhodes is
the sunniest place in Europ with over 300 days of sun
each year. Rhodes used to be famous for the Colossus
of Rhodes - a statu of the god Helios - listed as one of
the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and considered
the inspiration for New York City's Statu of Liberty.
Did you know, ladies and gentlemen, that the bodies of
both statues are the same size and both of them were
built as a celebration of freedom? The Colossus was
one of the tallest statues of the ancient world and for
many years stood proudly guarding the entrance to the
island's harbour. Unfortunately, it was demolished in
226 B.C. by a strong earthquake that destroyed much of
Rhodes. There have been a number of plans to rebuild the
P:|Let's start with this one.-Jason from Cardiff wants to

know what qualities a good stunt performer should have.
B: Most people think that the most important quality
for a stuntman is to be super fit. Those who are in the
business know, though, that there is mor to it than
just physical strength. You must be fit, of course, but it's
your personality that is absolutely crucial. After all, not

everyone is ready to jump from the third floor just like
that, are they? Another important thing in this job is
patience. You have to be prepared to repeat one scen
ten, twenty or even thirty times...
P: N o w j u d y from Birmingham asks about your biggest
fear...
B: You might think I worry most about injuries. In actual
fact, I worry about them very rarely. What 1'm most
concerned about is whether a stunt works exactly the
way I planned it. I mean, you can do the most spectacular
motorbike jump in your career, but it's no good if you
land in the wrong place and the camera operator doesnY
get that two-second shot of your landing. Then you have
to r e p e t h e whole scen again. It doesnY matter if you
do that once or twice but if happens too often, it's just
a waste of everyone's time and people will no longer see
you as a pro.
P: Right. Terry from Cheshire wants to know how you
became a stuntman?
B: I was always into sports. I practised karate back in high
school. And I should mention my cousin at this point. We
would always watch action movies together and then try
to re-enact the most dangerous scenes in his room or at

school. Our teachers werent happy, I can tell you that!

P: It seems like you started at quite a young age, then...
B: Yes, I suppose I did. Most stuntmen start off in the
industry as professional athletes, you know but it's not a
must. You just need to have a set of skills that are useful
for the job, and the right personality too.
P: And here's a question from Scott in Dundee: what is it
like to be a stuntman?
B: Weil, it's nothing like a typical nine-to-five job. I'm

not saying it's any better, it's just different. One day you
set yourself on fire, another time you jump from a high
cliff or climb a skyscraper. Many people ask me why I do
a job that involves so many dangers. Weil, I just like the
adrenalin, I suppose. I always have. Besides, someone's
5 l've got some news about the live musie programme.

The free concert starring rapper Curt Blunt will not be
starting at eight-thirty as advertised. It's been put back
one hour to nine-thirty. That's Curt Blunt on the main
stage at nine-thirty. In the meantime, for all you musiclovers, why not go to the iPod and iPhone Heaven and
check out all the mp3 and multimedia players and all the
novelties in mobile phones. I believe they're giving out free
sets of headphones. Sounds good.

It's like a new fiat. I can hardly recognise it.

"
" "1
Why don't the British say what they mean? Weil, let me
be mor precise because it's not fair to say the British
never say what they mean. I mean, if you ask someone
at a railway ticket office what time the next train to
Manchester is, they'll almost certainly tell you the time
of the next train to Manchester. Or if you ask a shop
assistant the price of a loaf of bread, they'll tell you how
much it is. So what I really mean is why do the British
use irony so much? My dictionary defines irony as 'when
you use words that are the opposite of what you really
mean' and the British do this a lot. For example, last
Saturday I met my friend Rodney in Hyde Park and the
first thing he said to me was 'it's a bit chilly, isn't it?'
'Chilly?' I said, 'doesn't chilly mean cold? It's not cold
today! It's really hot!' Rodney just smiled at me and said
'never mind.' Or another example. I'm with my friend
Emily outside a cinema. We're waiting for our friend
Jemma and I tell Emily l'm worried that Jemma might be
late. Emily laughs and says 'Jemma? Late? Impossible, you
know how punctual she is.' 'But Jemma's often late,' I said.
Emily rolled her eyes and nodded. The British even use
irony on themselves. For example, Emily had been to the
hairdresser's and got her hair cut really short so we start
talking about hairstyles and how hard it is to look after
long hair and Rodney says 'Yeah, I just don't know what
to do with my hair.' Rodney has no hair; he's completely
bald! So why did he say that? Because he was trying to be
funny. That's why British people use irony. To make you
laugh. The complete definition of irony in my dictionary
makes it very elear. Irony is 'when you use words that are
the opposite of what you really mean... in order to be
amusing'.
N: l'm glad you like itjerome.

J: It looks so ordered... neat... elegant. It makes my fiat
look like a complete mess.
N: My dear brother, your fiat is a complete mess.
J: Hmm... did you get a decorator to do it or something?
N: No, just Erie and me.
J: It looks kindofOriental.
N: That's because I used Feng Shui.
J: Feng what?
N: Feng Shui.
): What's Feng Shui?
N: lt's an ancient Chinese technique that...
J: So that explains all the bamboo.
N: Yeah I got it at that new shop in the High Street. Feng
Shui is supposed to help you balance the energy in the
space where you live in order to bring you good health
and good uck.
J: Oh yeah?
N: Yeah, feng means wind and shui means water. For the
Chinese wind and water are traditionally associated with
good health and good uck. Here's your tea...
J: Thanks.
N: So thats why the windows are open and l've got this
aquarium here in the bookcase and this little fountain in
the kitchen.
J: Hmm... how did you find out about it?
N: I bought a book that tells you how to do it. First,
you've got to get rid of all the things that you don't really
like or need and make your home tidy. Then you've got to
have good air and good light.
J: So that's why you've got so many lamps and mirrors in
the living room?
N: Yep.

We asked you to cali in and give a description of your

worst job ever. Here are some of our listeners' responses.
1 My worst job ever was at a casino. I was very excited
at first because l'd heard you could earn quite a lot there.
There were hardly any tips at all, though, and the regular
hourly rat was far below my expectations. On top of that
the customers often got really rude. It's not my fault that
they were losing all their savings!
2 Last year I tried baby-sitting for the first time in my
life. The kids seemed very polite and easy to get on with
at first but before too long they both showed their true
colours... The boy wouldnt listen to anything I was saying.
The girl was even worse: she would instruct me about
what I mustn't do if I didn't want to be fired, like the babysitter before me...
3 Oh, III never forget that awful job I had back in college.
I was working at a local swimming pool. Not bad, you
might say. Weil, don't get the wrong idea... I was far from
being a swimming instructor. What I did for four hours
a day was to fold towels! I hardly saw any people at all. No
one to talk to... only me and my towels... All of them the
same. It was so monotonous!
4 I once worked as a pizza delivery boy. The problem was
that there weren't enough Staff for the number of orders
we got. I was working sixteen hours a day at one point.
I was doing my best, but with that many orders I often
ended up being late, in which case the customers would
get angry and they would complain a lot... When my
manager said he would sack me if I was late again, l'd had
enough. I quit.
5 The worst job l've ever had was at a restaurant. The
manager was almost never there, which mad things
difficult. Whenever the customers complained and
wanted to speak to him, I had to come up with all sorts
of excuses that werent true. I felt horrible doing that
because basically l'm quite an honest person ... The only
good thing about the job was the money.

T: l'm sur there are a lot of parents out there who have
got used to the sight of tattoos and piercings on TV but
they would be terrified if it was their son or daughter who
wanted to do any of those things...
P: l'm sur they would, but that's typical. We are inclined
to think of our children as different from others. 'My little
Johnny would never do such a thing!' we often say. Weil,
our little Johnny might already be taller than us... and he's
going through the difficult time of teenage rebellion. Let's
face it. Trcy, it's not exactly easy to communicate with
most teenagers. But we could do so much to improve the
situation by talking to our kids mor often and listening to
what they've got to say...
T: It all comes down to proper communication, doesn't
it? But what do you suggest we say to our teenager who
has just announced that he or she is getting a tattoo?
P: Weil, it largely depends on your parenting style. The
worst thing you can do is to ignore your childs request.
If the child comes to you, this means they trust you.
Make sur you have a heart-to-heart talk with your child:
listen to his or her arguments and discuss all the health
concerns involved. The only thing teens know is that they
want a tattoo but if you tell them they might get a really
nasty skin infection or a serious disease, they usually look
surprised and start having second thoughts.
T: But what if this doesn't work? Is there anything you
recommend?
P: You can simply say no. Your child may not like it at
first, but if you make your arguments elear and, most
importantly, act consistently, they usually appreciate
this after a little while. I know quite a few cases ofolder
teenagers actually blaming their parents for letting them
have a tattoo. For some reason, they just stopped liking it.
Another thing you might do...

A: Now it s time for the traffic news with Angela Wilson.
Whats happening on the London motorways, Angela?
B: lt's quite busy, as usual for this time of the day. There's
been a iiuge car crash involving as many as five vehicles
on the M25 between junctions 3 and 4 northbound,
so expect serious delays there. It's also very slow on the
M i l , south-bound due to an accident there earlier. The
vehicles have already been removed from the road but
it s still very slow. Many thanks to Martin who reported
that to us. We've also got queues on the M l . A lorry has
broken down and we've got big delays there now. If you're
heading there, it's going to be much slower than on most
weekdays. The situation will continue for at least the
next half an hour until the vehicles have been cleared.
There's also been an accident delaying traffic on the M4
between junctions 19 and 20. Luckily, the road has been
cleared. The police closed the road in both directions,
but it has now been re-opened and everything is slowly
getting back to normal. Finally, there are queues on the
M26. Apparently, there was a stray cow there on one of

of news. Mor traffic news in half an hour. If you see
a problem on the road, cali us on 0100 200 300.

fali in love with a person l've just laid my eyes on and who
I haven't even talked with? The way you look is important,
of course, but just because you think someone is beautiful
doesn't mean you're already in love with the person! Love
takes time, doesn't it?
3 Weil, I don't know, really. I think people tend to overuse
the word 'love' these days. Look at all those Hollywood
stars! They fali in love very quickly and fali out of love even
faster! If it lasts only for a short time, it's not real love, is it?
I think it doesn't really matter in what situations you meet
the love of your life and how !or& it takes to fali in love. A
second look is just as good as first sight, if you ask me.
4 Love at first sight exists for sur. IVe experienced
it myself. NI never forget that day. I was riding a bike,
listening to my mp3 player and didn't notice this girl
coming in my direction. I almost knocked her over!
The moment our eyes met I felt I had known her all my
life... I can't even describe it, it just 'clicked'. We spent
four wonderful years together... but now we are getting
divorced... Weil, that's life...
5 You'd better ask my fiance! He keeps telling me that he
was in love the moment he saw me and promised himself
that he was going to get married to me. Weil, it took him
five years to convince me to be his fiancee. That's what
you cali determination, right? He's a great person, really.
I love him a lot and I probably will become his wife in the
end. It's just that, unlikein hiscase, it certainly wasn't love
at first sight for me...

people here tonight are Emma and Bill. So, heres to the
happiness of the bride and groom! Bill, my friend, Emma
looks amazing while you... well, you just look like Bill...
I must say, though, that all that make-up has worked
miracles. The last time I saw you that handsome was
at the Halloween party two years ago. Who was it that
you were dressed up as then? Frankenstein? Sorry, my
friend. You look great, of course, not nearly as ugly as you
normally do. According to tradition, l'm supposed to tell
you all about the groom's many good points. Well, l'm

a great friend and has been sice we were ten years old.
Gosh, it feels like ages! In all those years he has broken
my arm, lost all of my favourite CDs and has done a lot of
other 'friendly' things... At the same time, though, I could
always count on him. Has he ever disappointed me? Has

at first sight. They met when they were still in college.
Wy grandma often told me that as soon as she saw

H: Please give a warm welcome to Professor Nick Harris

from Surrey University, a world famous futurologist, who
has kindly agreed to present us his vision of the futur.
Professor?
P: Thank you, Dr. Hastings. The futur may seem like
a distant concept, but if you think about how far we
have come in the last ten years, it's just round the corner.
iPhones, Facebook, iPads - non of these things existed
ten years ago! And the next decade is going to see even
faster technological and medical advancement. Lets
have a look at technology first. One thing we're all going
to see is a rapid expansion of computer power. In about
ten years' time the average person at home is going to
have a computer that is mor powerful than the most

powerful computer that NASA is using today. As well as
this incredible change in computer capacity, you can also
expect to see lots mor people using computers and the
Internet, including the elderly. In fact, there will be fewer
and fewer retired people who say 'Oh, l'm too old for this',
and mor and mor who will be keen to keep up with all
the latest technological trends. Another important area
of development will be the celi phone industry. Forget
those simple extras like a camera or an mp3 player. In
the futur, you'll pay all your bills with your celi phone.
You'll get into the metro with your celi phone. And that's
not all. You'll be sitting in a cafe, and youll just press
a button on your phone and it will tell you where your
coffee came from! Let's not forget about the new medical
breakthroughs which are going to come. We know that
big drug companies are already working on the first ever
anti-ageing drug. But don't get this wrong, anti-ageing
is not about trying to make people live an extra 100
years. What the drug companies are trying to do is to
find a pili that will imitate the health benefits of dieting
and exercise without actually doing any of those things.
For the elderly and the weak, this would mean a much
better chance of fighting disease and staying fit. In the
futur, well all have the chance to live better lives. The
advances in technology can help us communicate better,
while the latest discoveries in medicine can enable us to
heal faster and live longer. How we are going to use these
developments, however, will be entirely up to us. Now,
let'shavealookat...

MP3-13
Ladies and gentlemen, before we listen to tonights

concert, you might like to learn a few biographical details
about the composer. Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin was
a Polish composer and virtuoso pianist, one of the greatest
representatives of Romantic musie. He was bom on 1
March, 1810 at elazowa Wola, a smali town to the west
ofWarsaw. HisfatherwasFrench and his motherwas
Polish. Chopin became familiar with musie at an early
age. When he was six, he was already trying to make up
new melodies on the piano. At the age of seven, he began
giving public concerts and composed two Polonaises.
These smali works were described as some of the most
famous Polonaises that existed at the time. Chopin was
often compared with Mozart as a child and also with
Beethoven. In 1829 Chopin mad a brilliant debut in
Vienna. His piano concerts were very well received. The
door to his career in Western Europ was now wide open.
After the collapse of Polands November Uprising in
1830 and the Russian oppressions that followed, Chopin
decided to stay in France. He never returned to Poland
and became one of many expatriates of the Polish Great

Emigration. In 1835 he became a French citizen. However,

he could never perfectly master the French language.
This was because his family home was always dominated
by Polish culture and the Polish language. French was
hardly ever spoken. In Paris, Chopin gave piano lessons to
rich students from all over Europ. He rarely performed
publicly, though. Rather than playing in front of big
audiences, he preferred playing at his o ^ n apartment for
smali groups of friends. Also, his poor health prevented
him from travelling long distances. Between 1839 and
1843, Chopin composed most of his greatest works. It
is said that Chopin's creative process of writing musie
was very dramatic he would ery, shout, complain, and
make hundreds of changes in the concept of a musical
piece, only to return to the initial idea. Chopin's illness
progressed. On the morningof Wednesday, 17 October
1849, Chopin died. The official causeof hisdeath was
tuberculosis - a serious lung disease. However, in 2008 this
cause was questioned and alternative causes for his death
were put forward. Chopin was buried in Paris, at Pere
Lachaise Cemetery. The funeral was attended by nearly
three thousand people.Just as he had wished, however,
Chopins heart was taken from his body after his death
and brought to Warsaw. We all know Chopin as a virtuoso
pianist. Indeed, most of Chopin'scompositions were
written for the piano as solo instrument. Even though he
didn't invent them, Chopin mad major innovations to
such musical forms as the piano sonata, mazufka, waltz,
nocturne and prelude. The musical form he did invent,
though, was the instrumental ballad. I hope you will

figures. The industry minister, Heather Turnbull welcomed

the news and claimed that this was evidence that the
government's economic policies have started to work. The
opposition leader, Dan Mackie, however, said that there
were still over two million people out of work and once
again insisted the government should cali an early genera
election.
3 An opinion poll suggests that if an election were held
today, there would be no elear winner. According to the
survey, the governing Radical Democrat Party would
win only 32% ofthe national vote, that is 7% less than in
the last genera election. The main opposition group the
Social Liberals would win 31%, up only 2% on last time.
The Europ Ecology party, however, is predicted to take
a much larger share of the vote, moving up by over 10%
to 22%. That means that they could hod the balance in
a new parliament.

A friend told me he was addicted to a computer gam.
'I won't tell you which one because it'll eat up your life,'
he warned me. Tm spending tweke hours a day on it,
and my eyes have gone funny.' 'Don't worry. It won't do
that to me,' I said, Tve never been addicted to anything.'
'OK, if you're sur,' the friend replied, 'it's called Drop 7.'
The next day, I downloaded the gam to see if it really
was that fascinating. The gam is similar to Tetris the
geometry puzzle gam, but uses nutnbers instead of
shapes. I spent an hour working out how to play it; after
that, I was hypnotised. There was something so satisfying
about exploding the brightly coloured blocks: it took
skill and strategy. After about an hour, I switched the
gam off. It had been fun but now it was time to forget it.
Unfortunately, I found this difficult. When another friend
asked me out, I lied and said I was too tired. I knew that
saying 'I need to play this computer gam' would sound
strange and antisocial. I played again and again. Each time
I started a gam, I promised myself it would be the last;
each time, I broke my promise. One time during dinner, in
a break between courses, I began playing the gam under
the table. My friends were not impressed. It stopped
me from sleeping. When I closed my eyes, all I could see
were numbers. The next day, I deleted the gam. But an
hour later, I gave up and downloaded it again. It's been
two months now, and I still find Drop 7 mor attractive
than work or friends. Two weeks ago, in a panic, I called
the friend who had warned me not to play the gam and
admitted he had been right. He surprised me. He said,
'I don't play that any mor.' 'How did you stop?' I asked
enthusiastically; ready to do whatever he'd done. He
replied: 'I found another gam that's even mor addictive.'

M: l'm sorry. Did you say paper clip? One of those smali
things that we use to hod pieces of paper together?
A: Yes, except that this wasn't a normal paper clip, but
a large red plastic one about one metre long.
M: And he turned it into a house?
A: That's right. Kyle MacDonald turned a paper clip into
a house and he did it without spending a penny.
M: Is he a magician?
A: No, but he knows how to find a bargain, that's for sur.
M: How did he do it?
A: By trading on the Internet. He started off by
advertising this large red paper clip on his web page. And
he was so keen to have this one that he offered Kyle a part

in a film.
M: No!
A: Yes! And that's when the smali town of Kipling in
Saskatchewan, Canada contacted Kyle.

G: Good evening, everyone. Glad to have you all with
- us. On this Special Edition of Jason Miller's News Focus
we have Jason direct from Abbeville, Louisiana, where
he is witnessing one of the greatest natural disasters in
American history: Hurricane Rita. Now, Jason, you've seen
che terrible damage caused by the hurricane. I imagine it's
not a pretty sight?
J: lt's a terrible sight, believe me, Gili. Hundredsof

buildings under water and thousands of people trapped
on the rooftops of their houses waiting for the emergency
relief workers. The rescue operation has been going on
non-stop for the last twelve hours. I managed to find out
that as many as 1500 people had aiready been evacuated.
There are still many mor left, though.
G: Where are the evacuees being taken to?
L The evacuees are being transported by helicopter to
specially prepared shelters about one hundred kilometres
north of Abbeville. The government officials keep
repeating: don't come home yet, just stay where you
are. However, some people are ignoring this advice and
they are coming back to their homes with the hope of
collecting their personal belongings that may still be there.
This is really very dangerous, so these people should really
do what they're being told and wait until the emergency
crews have finished doing their work.
G: Are you able to say at this point how much damage
has been done?
J: lt's definitely too early to assess the amount of damage
at this point, but one thing we can aiready say is that it is
the worst hurricane this town has seen for many, many
years. It's going to cost millions of dollars to repair all the
damage. And that is not going to happen soon. You can
see behind me here a popular shopping area with lots
of shops, bars and restaurants. TheyYe all close to being
completely under water. But this is just one smali place.
There are huge numbers of houses that have simply been
washed away by the water. And to make things worse,
those homes which weren't struck by the hurricane are
going to be without electricity tonight. According to the
officials, people will have to wait at least twelve mor
hours for the power to be switched on again.
G: Jason, we are carefully following the weather reports. It
ooks like the worst is over.
J: Thats correct. If the rain and the wind continued here,
the rescue operations would be much mor difficult and
they would take much longer.
' G; Thank you, Jason. That was Jason Miller live from
Abbeville, Louisiana. We will be following the events in
Abbeville for the next hour, so please don't go away.
S - SUE, T - TRISH
S: lt's Wednesday today and its almost 2.30, so its time
for Young Heroes. Trish, who is this week's hero?
T: Today we're talking about one of the youngest
philanthropists of all time, an American boy named
Zach Bonner, who started his charity work when he was
only six! It all started in 2004 when Hurricane Charlie hit
Florida, causing serious damage to people's houses. As the
underground water pipes were destroyed, a lot of people
didn't have any water to drink. When six-year-old Zach
Iearnt about this, he took his toyjcar - a little red wagon
- and went from door to door in nis neighbourhood to
collect clean water for the victims. Oh, within four months
Zach and the non-profit organisation StandUp For Kids
managed to collect so many supplies for homeless people
such as snacks, toys and toiletries that it took twentyseven trucks to transport them!
S: Goodness!
T: Noonethought it would go that well! Zach also
helped the following year, in 2005, when two other
hurricanes - Katrina and Rita - hit the United States. By
that time, Zachs mother had helped him set up a charity
and named it The Little Red Wagon Foundation - after the
name Zach had been given by his neighbours when he
was collecting a year earlier. The aim of the charity was to
help 1.3 million homeless children in the United States.
To dat, Zach's foundation has collected a large number of
donations. Since 2007, each year Zach has been organising
charity walks. In 2010 he went on a walkcalled The
March Across America that lasted 178 days and covered a
distance of 3,978 kilometres! I'm sur you'd like to know
what Zach does apart from his charity work. Well, in his
free time he plays baseball, tennis and goes on bike rides
with his friends. After he completes school, he would like
to attend Yale Law School, so that he can work in court!
S: Thank you, Trish. We hope Zach's dreams come true
and that his example will inspire others to help people in
need...

S - SPOKESPERSON, PS - POLLY STEWART, M MINISTER, SB - STEPHEN BLACK
S: That was the official statement of the Department
for Education on their plans to introduce interactive
whiteboards to schools and now the minister will be
answering your questions. Yes, the lady at the back and
then the gentleman in the second row, please...
J: Polly Stewart, Radio 5 Live. Mr Smith, how are school
students going to benefit from learning based on
interactive whiteboards? And my second question is: how
much are you going to spend on installing them?
M: To answer your first question: an interactive
whiteboard is an exciting new tool that offers pupils
a truy unique classroom experience; an experience which
will make them mor involved in the lessons and help
them memorise things better! If we want students to
see learning as something authentic, we need to bring
technology into the classroom because it's something
they're surrounded by outside school. Lessons with an
interactive whiteboard can be creative and inspiring. To
take the example of a Geography class: when learning
about climate differences in different parts of the world,
pupils can check internet webcams across the world to
see some of these places for themselves. Or in a Maths
lesson, students can rotate and zoom in or out of different
geometrical shapes with the help of an electronic pen.
There are endless opportunities to inspire students by
integrating audio, video, graphics and animation and
making pupils interact with all these elements. I strongly
believe the introduction of interactive whiteboards will
help the learning process! As far as your second question
is concerned, the installation of a single board is about
2,000. We are planning to install the boards in all 2,500
schools over the next two years, which means we are
going to spend 50 million during that period. And this is
the cost of hardware alone. The cost of the software, that
is interactive whiteboard programmes for specific school
subjects, will have to be covered by the school budgets
and local authorities.
SB: Stephen Black, The Daily Newspaper. Mr Smith,
how about the teachers: are they ready to start using
interactive whiteboards instead of the traditional
whiteboards?
M: Some of them are aiready using a lot of computerbased mat^rials such as video presentations, so they will
be enthusiastic about even mor technology entering
their classrooms. However, there are also traditional
teachers who are still sceptical and who will need some
basie training in using the interactive whiteboards. And
these teachers are still the biggest group. The Department
for Education is going to provide all the necessary training
for the teachers, so there is no reason to worry. What's
mor, we are going to...

B: Oh, thank you so much. Its very kind of you.
J: There certainly is, Terry. The heavy rain we have been

areas. Scotland, Northern Ireland, Northern England,

a bit wet this morning, you can expect some sunny
periods late this afternoon, although in Northern Ireland it
will stay rather cloudy throughout the whole day. 17 to 18
degrees for Glasgow, similar in Belfast, up to 19 degrees in
Cardiff. Moving on to the Midlands - after a lovely bright

T: Than k you, Jo. The next weather forest is in half an

:. I've come out onto the streets of Oxford to ask people

about their eating habits. Her are some of the responses.
1 Weil, I s p e n d m o s t o f t h e d a y runningfrom class to
class, so unfortunately I don't really have time to think too
much about what I eat. I usually grab something on the
go like a slice of pizza or just a chocolate bar if l'm in a real
hurry. I often end up stuffing myself with fast food just
before bedtime. I don't think this is going to change any
time soon. Maybe lii give it some thought in the futur,
though.
2 To be honest, I don't like food that much. Perhaps it's
because I don't want to put on weight. I have to be careful
about what I eat if I want to be serious about modelling.
So I usually have cornflakes with natural yoghurt for
breakfast and a bowl of salad for lunch. I may have
another salad later in the afternoon but I often simply
skipdinner.
(
3 A proper diet is everything. I go to the gym four times
a week and l'm on a ten-week mass building programme
at the moment. If I want to see any results, I have to follow
a strict diet alongside my rigorous exercise workout:
six meals a day, at regular times, all high in protein and
carbohydrates. Weil, my diet may be a bit monotonous
but that's what it takes to look good on the beach!
4 I wish I could have regular mealtimes but it's not that
easy in my job. I'm often stuck in business meetings that
just take hours! I thought I could cheat my body and
pretend I don't feel any hunger but this simply doesn't
work. When I finally do have a chance to eat something,
it's usually one of those late-night business dinners. And
then after a big evening meal like that I often can't fali
asleep.
5 Oh, we care a lot about proper eating habits in our
family.Oursixotlock dinnersarea ritual! It's when all
of us can finally sit down and talk and have something
proper to eat. We usually have a nice piece of meat like
lamb chops or roast beef. We normally have fruit for
dessert. Cakes are only allowed at weekends!

RP - RADIO PRESENTER, LO - LAUREN OWEN
RP: Now, would you believe that as many as two billion
people in the world suffer from insomnia? With me in the
studio is Lauren Owen, a sleep psychologist. Welcome to
the studio, Lauren.
LO: Good afternoon. Pleasure to be here.
RP: Lauren, why do so many people find it difficult to
have a good night's sleep?
LO: Weil, there are a number of reasons. By far the most
frequent one is stress: we tend to analyse our work and
personal problems while lying in bed. This certainly
doesn't help us to fali asleep! Another thing we often do is
to have too many stimulants like coffee or energy drinks
- they may help us concentrate better during the day
but we shouldn't have too many of them because they're
simply bad for you and can lead to serious sleep disorders!
RP: Right. It's often said that many older people suffer
from insomnia. Is this true?
LO: Yes, the older we get, the mor we seem to lose
our ability to sleep for long periods. This is because
of a hormone called melatonin, which helps regulate
our sleep. As people get older, they simply produce
less melatonin. So, having that in mind, it's easier to
understand why so many elderly people have problems
falling asleep, wake up early in the morning and go to
sleep during the day.
RP: I see. I can imagine, though, that having too little
sleep for a long time can be quite dangerous, can't it?
136
LO: Absolutely. Insomnia is not harmful if it's only

every now and then, in which case our bodies get back
to normal with a few hours of extra sleep. If it happens
frequently, though, it may have harmful effects on
our body such as headaches, stomach aches, memory
problems, increased sensitivity to sounds and even seeing
things as if they were happening in slow motion...
RP: Oh, dear. It does sound serious! What can we do,
then, to treat insomnia or, even better, to prevent it
altogether?
LO: Weil, to begin with, we should be aware of a few
simple rules of sleep hygiene. For example, we should try
to go to bed and get up at the same times every day. It's
not advisable to sleep for too long on the weekend, as this
deregulates our natural body rhythm. AIso, it helps if we
associate our bed with sleep, so we should generally avoid
reading, eating, watching TV or working in bed. Finally,
if we can't fali asleep after mor than twenty minutes,
it's better to get up, do something and go back to bed
some time later rather than tossing and turning in bed
for a few hours. We may also like to try such traditional
remedies as having a warm bath or drinking a glass of
warm milk before going to bed. If the problem doesn't
go away, though, you should definitely seek advice from
your doctor.
RP: And how about...
TEST 10
ESaBEBMwgZZZZZZZZZZD
P - PRESENTER, R - RALPH
P: Now it's Ralph Emerton with Reflection forToday...
R: I hate filling in forms with useless information that no
one needs or will ever read; especially nowadays in the age
of the computer when every detail of your entire life is just
one click away on a mouse. But the British Government
hasn't realised this as I discovered when I tried to renew
my passport. I have a subscription to an excellent popular
science magazine. Last month, the publisher sent me an
email. They kindly informed me that my subscription
was about to end and politely requested if I would like
to renew it. All I had to do was tick a box indicating if
I wanted the subscription for a period of one, two or
three years. They didn't ask me for my name, address or
dat of birth. Nor did they ask me where I was born, my
mother's maiden name, my email address oranything
else. Why? Because either it's information they don't need
or information they already have on those wonderful
inventions called computers. All they need to do is type
my name into their computer, and they have everything
they need. It is easy, efficient and elegant. Now, why can't
it be like that when you want to renew your passport?
The government has an incredible amount of information
about me. Over the years, l've filled in hundreds of forms
telling them every little detail about my family, my
studies, my job, my income, my taxes and every other
aspectof my life. They have all this information on my
driver's licence, my health insurance card and on my last
three passports. And yet to renew my passport, I have
to fili in a six-page document with all the information
that they already have. The application form comes in
an envelope. On it is my name and address. Inside is the
application form. The first question is 'what is your name
and address?' It is quite absurd. After completing the
form, I see I have to ask someone to sign the back of two
passport photographs to verify who I am. They should
be signed by someone important in the community like
a doctor or a lawyer. Why? Why not the nice lady at the
baker's? Or the bus driver who takes me into town in
the morning? He's got good eyesight. I could just make
up a name and sign the photos myself with my left hand
and nobody would ever know. It's pointless. I sent my
application off last week. The passport's not cheap: it cost
almost 80.1 still haven't received it. I checked the form.
It says 'we aim to return your passport within 3 weeks.
However, that is not guaranteed.' Of course not. The only
thing that is guaranteed is that the next time I apply for
a passport, III have to answer all those stupid questions
yet again.

1 Hi darling. Bad news. The meeting's going to go on
until tomorrow so I have to stay another night here. I'm
really sorry. I know it's your birthday and I said we'd spend
it together but there's nothing I can do about it. I've got
to stay. I really wish I could come home. I certainly don't
want to be here. I want to be with you. I miss you. See you
tomorrow evening. Love you.
2 Hello. I'm phoning to ask if everything's ready for
dinner. I got the crackers at Waitrose yesterday. They were
terribly expensive, but they are good, aren't they? Shall
I give Susan a cali and remind her to bring the Christmas
pudding? And is Scott bringing his girlfriend? I need to
know because I want to know how many mince pies to
make. I'm sorry to bother you but do cali me as soon as
you get in, please.
3 Trudy! Where are you? I've been trying to get hod of
you on your mobile but it says the number's not available.
Have you forgotten to pay your bill again? Listen, is it
alright with you if we go out tomorrow night instead of
tonight? The thing is l've just remembered that tonight is
the fina of 'Dance till you drop' and I don't want to miss
it. Same place, same time, tomorrow, alright? Cali me if
there's a problem.
4 This is a message for Mr Kevin Nolan. l'm calling on
behalf of Mr Harry Fabian. It concerns the money you
owe him. Mr Fabian is sorry to tell you that his patience
is at an end. If you don't pay the fuli amount by 6 p.m. on
New Year's Eve, he will be forced to take action, lega or
otherwise, to get his money back. Have a nice day.
5 Martin! Emma here. I still can't believe it. I've won
the lottery! It's not the big prize so I can't give up my
job or anything. I still have to go to that stupid meeting
tomorrow. But it's quite a lot of money. I've booked a
table for dinner tonight at McCann's. Sorry I didn't cali
earlier but I couldn't find your number. Everyone's coming.
I'd love it if you could come too. It's at 7:30. See you then.

C - CHARLES, M - MADELEINE
C: Laura Dekker is a fourteen-year-old Dutch girl who

wants to become the youngest person to sail solo around
the world. Initially, her mother was against the idea,
so Laura was placed under the care of the Dutch child
protection services. Then her mother changed her mind
and Laura was allowed to go on the voyage. In August
she sailed with her father to Gibraltar and from there she
began to cross the Atlantic on her own. So our question
today is: how old do you have to be to sail around the
world or to climb Mount Everest? To help us answer it,
Pm delighted to welcome child psychologist Madeleine
McNeill. Hi, Madeleine.
M: Hello, Charles.
C: Madeleine, why should there be any age limits? If
someone wants to do something challenging, why should
we stop them just because we think they're too young?
M: Weil, adults have an obligation to protect children,
don't they? I mean, if your seven-year old son thinks he's
Superman and is about to try to fly from a fourth floor
window, then I don't think you would just watch him do
it.
C: Of course not. But Laura Dekker is an experienced
sailor. I mean, she was actually born on a yacht! Shes been
sailing sice she was a baby! Her parents think she can do
it. So what's wrong with it?
M: What's right with it? Why not wait until she's sixteen
and do it then? What about her education? What about
enjoying her childhood? What about the real risk that
she's going to die just to break a sporting record?
C: OK, what about Jordan Romera? He became the
youngest person ever to climb to the top of Mount
Everest when he was only thirteen. But he did it with
his father and three Sherpa guides so it wasn't that
dangerous, was it?
M: You must bejoking! Climbinga mountain that high is
always dangerous. I'm sorry, but for me that boy's parents
are just irresponsible. They let him climb to the top of
Mount Kilimanjaro when he was only ten for goodness'
sake! That is not right!
