 Worksheet 3 / Reading and Writing

Text 1: Read the following text, and then answer the questions that
follow.

Addicted to the Mall

(1) What do you do for recreation? Do you swim, play cards, garden, or read? Many people today
prefer to spend their free time shopping. These people are called recreational shoppers.
Recreational shoppers do not always buy something. They really enjoy the shopping experience.
Of course, many people like going to indoor malls. However, for recreational shoppers, the mall is
more than stores. For them, the mall represents happiness and fulfillment. For these people, a visit
to the mall is an adventure. In fact, for many recreational shoppers the art of looking for and buying
something is more fun than owning it.

(2) Recently, a group of psychologists studied recreational shopping. First, they used tests to
identify recreational shoppers. Then they compared recreational shoppers with ordinary shoppers.
The psychologists discovered that the two groups were different. Recreational shoppers were
usually younger, less self-confident, and more often female. In addition, they were more interested
in material things and had less self-control.

(3) The recreational shoppers also went shopping when they felt worried, angry, or depressed.
Ordinary shoppers didn't. Most of the recreational shoppers said buying something helped them
feel better-it made them happy. Their negative feelings went away. Many recreational shoppers
also did something unusual while they were shopping. They pretended that they were different
people with different lives.

(4) Of course, shopping is an important part of our contemporary consumer society. We spend a
lot of time in malls. In a recent study, people spent most of their time at home, at work, and in
school. Shopping malls ranked fourth. However, in the future, will we think of recreational
shopping as an addiction?

Text 2: Read the text and answer the questions that follow.

Is there anyone in the world who has never drunk tea? Today, tea is an international
drink. However, tea drinking started in China. In fact, there is a belief in China that the
emperor “Shen Nung” discovered tea 5.000 years ago. As he was boiling his drinking
water, some leaves from a nearby plant fell into it. He was very pleased with the
taste. He said that the drink had been refreshing, had made him feel good and helped
him to stay awake. He tried to grow the plant in his garden. In this way, the Chinese
believe he was responsible for beginning the world-wide custom of tea drinking.

Nowadays, tea grows well in several hot, rainy regions of the world, especially
India, Sri Lanka, China, Indonesia, Bangladesh and Kenya. Most of the tea which we
drink today consists of a mixture of three basic types: Ceylon tea (from Sri Lanka),
Indian tea and African tea. Ceylon tea is chosen for its flavor, Indian tea for its
strength and African tea is selected for its color and appearance. The selection and
mixing of the different kinds of tea is done by experts called "tasters".

Today, many people would rather use tea bags than loose tea. But the tea bags
have only appeared recently. In 1904, a man called Thomas Sullivan, who owned a
small tea and coffee business in the United States, sent samples of his tea in small
silk bags to several hundred customers. The customers liked the tea bags so much
that they asked for more. The bags are now made of special kind of paper and the
making of tea bags is a big industry. Who knows what the next development in the
tea business will be? Who knows what will they achieve?
