A healthier ‘option isto have just the egg, Boil it instead of frying it, and eat it with a piece of toast made with brown bread. Breakfast cereals are very high in sugar, so If you fee! like cereal, have muesli - with no added ‘sugar. You can also get your first vitamins of the day by drinking a glass of freshly-squeezed orange juice. 2 Fruit and vegetables contain the vitamins and minerals ‘we need to stay healthy. But five is actually a fictional number thought up by an American nutritionist. She looked at what the average person ate and doubled it. ‘According to more recent research, the right number is actualy eight. The research shows that peaple who have eight pieces of fruit and vegetables a day are much less likely to suffer from heart disease than ‘those who eat three, 3 ‘This particular fruit has had some bad publicity because dentists say itcan harm our teeth. While it’s ‘rue that apples do contain alittle sugar, they are also a source of fibre. Nutritionists say that we need about 18g of fibre a day, and a medium apple - peel included contains about 3g.Some varieties contain more fibre than others, so you should choose carefully. 4 ‘The key to good health is a balanced diet which contains fats and carbohydrates as well as proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Fats may be high in calories, but they also contain vitamins. According to the World Cancer Research Fund, you should only have ‘about 500g of red meat per week - a steak is about 100g.

Why do the Bedouins prefer to live together in a big family group? Extreme family ties ‘and for some nationalities being close to your family, ‘smore important than tis to others. For example, families in Southern Europe are generally quite close, although in the past they spent even more time together. This is also true of families inthe Middle East. But it isthe Bedouin people who have the closest ties ofa. ‘Traditional Bedouin families lve in large tents about half the size ‘of a basketball court. The tents are divided into two sections: the first is for receiving quests in true Bedouin style —they have the reputation of being the world’s most generous HOSS. Visitors are always served a big meal as soon as they arrive. The second part ‘of the tents the familys shared kitchen, living room, dining room, ‘and bedroom. They don't have tables and chairs, asthe whole family sits on the floor to eat. And instead of beds, everybody sleeps on Mattresses, which are piled into @ corner ofthe room, uring the day. Several generations usually share the tent. The head of the family is the mother, and she is the one who ives the orders. Her husband and her children live with hes, even when the children ‘are married and have their own children. The sons and sons-in-law look after the animals, while the daughters and daughters-in- law clean the tent, cook the meals, and look after the younger ‘grandchildren, The older ones are left to run around outside. ‘There may often be as many as 30 people under the same roof, The few young people who have left the family to live inthe city visit their mothers nearly every day It can be quite a surprise to ‘see a Shiny new Mercedes pulp outside one ofthe tents and watch a smart young man get out to greet his relatives Bedouin people do not lke to be separated from their families ‘and there isa very good reason why. IFthey are poor, sick, old, or unemployed, itis the family that SUBBOFES them. Elderly people are never left'alome, and problems are always shared. Children who ‘work in the city are often responsible for thelr families financially. In this way, Bedouin families aren't just close; they are a lifeline. Read the article again.

E A medallion number has four numbers and one letter. An off-duty cab won't pick you up. ‘You should stand in the street until a taxi stops for you. When you get ina taxi, the price starts at 40 cents, You pay per minute if there are problems with traffic. ‘Taxi drivers like to be paid in cash, NEW YORK TAXIS ™."." New York taxis provide an essential service to New Yorkers and tourists for getting around the city. There are over 12,000 yellow medallion taxicabs so It doesn't take long to see one. a What does a New York taxi look like? New York taxis come in many different shapes and sizes, but to be offical taxis they must be yellow. They must also have a special code called a medallion number: one number, then one letter, and two ‘more numbers. A bronze badge with the same code should also be displayed on the hood. Only taxis with the above are legally licensed to pick you up! How will | know when a New York taxi is available? {t's all in the lights! When just the centre ight illuminates the ‘medallion number, the taxi is available to be hailed. When the centre light is off and both sidelights are on (illuminating the words ‘Off Duty’), the taxi is off duty and won't stop for you. How to hail a New York taxi First, try to halla tax in the direction you are already going: It saves time’ and money. When you see an available taxi, make sure it's safe and step off the pavement whilst holding your hand up high. If for any reason you don't get the driver's attention, step back onto the pavement and wait for the next available taxi and repeat the process. I's as simple as that, New York taxi fares. Once you step into the cab the meter will be turned on. This is called the ‘flagdrop fare! and is $2.50. After that it will cost you 40 cents for every 400 metres, oF 40 cents per minute if you are stuck in traffic. There is a flat-rate charge of $45 from Manhattan to JFK Airport. you're happy with the journey, you shouls tip your driver between 115% and 20% of the total fare. Paying by cash is preferred, however all taxis now accept credit cards. Underline five words or phrases you don’t know.

How men behaved towards women inthe past. 3 The difference between men's and first? Nobody knows how long people have been using the words ‘Ladies First, nor is anyone sure where the concept came from. However, neither of ‘these facts matter today. The important question is whether the tradition is still relevant, and if men should continue respecting it. Inthe past, there was a strict set of rules concerning men's behaviour towards women ~ or rather ‘ladies’ as they were called then. Men wearing hats used totake them offin the presence of women. They used to stand up whenever, woman entered or left a room, and they did the same at a ining table. Men Used to hold a door for a woman to allow her to go through first. They always sed to pay for meals - but wellcome back to that one later. lof these customs were considered good manners, and people looked down’on men who did not conform. In fact, this set of rules actually made things easier for men. If they broke a rule, they knew perfectly well that they were going to offend somebody. Today, ts much easier to cause offence without meaning to. For example, ifa man opens a door to let a woman through first, and she does so without saying thank you, the man may feel offended. And if a man invites a woman to 2 restaurant of his choice on their first date, and then asks her to pay her half of the bil it may be the woman who gets upset. Women no longer want to be treated as the weaker sex. which leaves men ina dilemma. On the one hand, men are conscious of the ‘Ladies First’tradition, bt on the other, they do not want to offend. Often, they don't know what to do. The best advice is this: iFin doubt, men should follow the rules of ‘Ladies First. Even ifthe woman considers the behaviour inappropriate, she wil stil realize that the man has good manners. Ths s particularly relevant on that first date We were talking about. Ifthe man has invited the woman out, then he should pay the bill, Actually, it’ the invitation to dinner itself thatis important here, ‘not the amount of money spent. In general, women appreciate a picnic or a home-made dinner just as much as an expensive meal. So the answer to our original question is: yes. ‘Ladies First's still relevant today, but notin the same way as it was in the past, Most women appreciate a kind gestire made by a man, but he should never accompany it with the words “Ladies First ~ it spoils the effect completely!b_ Read the article again and choose the right answer. 1 According to the article. 4 theidea of'Ladies first’ started in the Middle ages. by the idea of Ladies first isa new idea. © it’s no known when the idea of “Ladies first’ started, Inche past. a men didn’t know how to behave towards women. b ‘Ladies first’ was very polite, € itdidn't matter if men broke the rules 3 Nowadays, men. aren't sure how to behave towards bb behave in the same way towards © havenew rules to follow.

As they grow older, they realize that the fun is actually in taking part in the game, not necessarily in winning it. By the time they reach their teens, they have usually learnt not to cheat.

The player wanted to win so much that he Fesortad to cheating Jeno’ ‘normal for young children to cheat when they're The board game was Scrabble, This is a word game that was created in 1938 by an American architect called Alfred Mosher Butts. nthe game, players have to make words from individual letters on small squares called tiles, and then put the words on a board. Two of the most useful tiles, inthe game are the blanks, which are tiles without any letters on them. A blank isn't worth any points, but.a player can use it to Feplagé any letter of the alphabet. The cheat in this particular tournament was a 15-year-old boy from Orlando, in the USA. He had surprised organizers in the early stages of the competition by beating some of the best players, despite the fact that he had never played in competitions before. This made some of the other players SUSPICIOUS, including the man who caught him, 43-year-old ‘Arthur Moore. Moore had already played the boy the day before, and Moore had won the match, although the boy had had both ofthe blank tiles. In Scrabble, before a new game starts the players put the tiles From the previous game back into a small bag, This time, Moore had a good look at the tiles on the table before he and his opponent put them in the bag to start the game. He was not surprised to see that the two blanks were together on the table in front of the boy. As the two players were putting the tiles into the bag, Moore diseretely watched the boy's left hand. He saw the boy pick up the two blanks, and put his hand under the table. This was the signal for Moore to call one of ‘the organizers and a€CUs® the boy of cheating, When the boy was taken away for questioning, he admitted taking the two blanks during the game and hiding them under the table, Asa result of his cheating, the tournament director disqualified him and banned him from playing in ‘the competition again,4 VOCABULARY sport a Read the definitions and write the words. 1 anarea of water that swimmers use ‘swimming — pool 2 the person who controls football match 3 atrack where Formula I cars race tohit something with your foot k 5 somebody who is very enthusiastic about sport £ an area where golfis played « «do exercise to become healthy and strong 8 f an area of ground where people play football oe ‘person who trains people to compete in certain sports 10 alarge structure, usually with no roof, Where people can sitand watch sports 1b Complete the sentences with the past simple of the verbs in the box. beat draw getinjured lose play score throw train warmup win 1 TheUSA played — Russia in the final of the basketball last night. 2 Theteam hard every day before the tournament. 3 The French runner the race.

How many friends does the average American have? ola friends in numbers A rescarcher at Cornell University in the USA has recently done a study into this question, by finding ‘out the number of friends a typical American has. He has just published the results. The researcher interviewed more: than 2,000 adults aged 18 and over in his study. He asked them to list the names of the people they had discussed Serious matters with in the last six months. About 48% of the people raking part gave the researcher one name, 18% gave him two, and about 29% gave him more than two. H: Many FRiENDS docs HHERVEREPEROR have? ‘These results Contrast efaimatically with the news published by social networking site Facebook recently. They said that the average user on the site has 130 friends, The Cornell University study found the average number of friends to bea lot lower — 2.03 to be exact. The researcher from Cornell has, explained thar the difference lies in the definition of the word friend. A friend on Facebook may be a person that the user has ‘met Bylehaiiee or someone that they will never meet in real life. However, the friends in his study are close friends, who participants feel comfortable discussing their problems with. Ina similar study conducted 25 years ago, participants had a higher number of close friends. Then, the average number was three. Despite the lower number, the researcher does not believe that people are getting more isolated. Instead he thinks it’s a sign that they are becoming better at choosing who they can tgt with their secrets This is supported by the number of people in the study who could not think of any names of close friends they would discuss their personal problems with. The percentage of these participants is the same this time as it was 25 years ago. In both studies, just over 4% of the participants gave researchers no names. Apparently, the people who fall into this category are more likely to be men, or people with less education. In general, the researcher from Cornell regards these findings as positive. In his opinion, they suggest that, at least in the case ‘of Americans, people are not becoming less sociable.b_ Read the article again and choose the best answer. 1 Most people in the Cornell University study had spoken about something important with @ one person. b two people. ‘© more than two people. ‘The news published by Facebook is different from the results in the Cornell study because athe people are different ages. bb thestudies are from different years. © therelationships aren't the same. 3.
