Reading 1 : The Old Woman When she died she was quite old - 89 to be precise.

She lived her whole life alone in a newly-remodeled condo with low-rise ceilings in the center of London. She had very little furniture. She didn't have a television or a radio. The old lady didn't have any friends or relatives, and she didn't belong to any clubs or associations, so she didn't have any friends. In fact nobody knew her in the community, not even her neighbors.

She went out of her house, twice a week - early in the morning to go shopping and to have a cup of coffee and a piece of apple cake in her local cafeteria which was one of the most popular of the city. She never caught a bus or a train. She always walked. After her death, Teresa Brown, 40, says, "Once a month she used to come into the hairdresser's in order to cut her hair. She never talked to me, the only words she said were, 'my usual please', and then she would read some of the magazines. She loved reading 'Hello' magazine. It was her favorite!" Most of time, she was reading the magazine while I was cutting her hair. The irony of the story is that this old lady, who lived alone and hated talking to people, was one of the richest ladies in her neighborhood! Reading 2 : Finding the Right Job
