We’re Living Faster, But Are We Living Better?

Not long ago people believed that in the future we would work less, have more free time, and be
more relaxed. But sadly this has not happened. Today we work harder, work longer hours, and are
more stressed than ten years ago. We walk faster, talk faster, and sleep less than previous
generations. And although we are obsessed with machines which save us time, we have less free
time than our parents and grandparents had. But what is this doing to our health? An American
journalist James Gleick in a new book, Faster: the acceleration of just about everything, says that
people who live in cities are suffering from ‘hurry sickness’ – we are always trying to do more things
in less time. As a result, our lives are more stressful. He says that if we don’t slow down, we won’t
live as long as our parents. For most people, faster doesn’t mean better.
1 No time for the news
Newspaper articles today are shorter and the headlines are bigger. Most people don’t have enough
time to read the articles, they only read the headlines! On TV and the radio, newsreaders speak
more quickly than ten years ago.
2 No time for stories
In the USA there is a book called One-Minute Bedtime Stories for children. These are shorter
versions of traditional stories, specially written for ‘busy parents’ who want to save time!
3 No time to listen
Some answerphones now have ‘quick playback’ buttons so that we can re-play people’s messages
faster – we can’t waste time listening to people speaking at normal speed.
4 No time to relax
Even when we relax we do everything more quickly. Ten years ago when people went to art galleries
they spent ten seconds looking at each picture. Today they spend just three seconds!
5 No time for slow sports
In the USA the national sport, baseball, is not as popular as before it is a slow game and matches
take a long time. Nowadays many people prefer faster and more dynamic sports like basketball.
6 ...but more time in our cars

The only thing that is slower than before is the way we drive. Our cars are faster but the traffic is
worse so we drive more slowly. We spend more time sitting in our cars, feeling stressed because we
are worried that we won’t arrive on time. Experts predict that in ten years’ time the average speed on
the road in cities will be 17 km/h.
1. The writer wrote the article to encourage us to work more and relax less.
F
2. People today are having a less stressful life than they did in the past.
F
3. People are too busy to read newspapers.

T
4. Slow sports have become unpopular.

5. More time is spent on stories.

Text 1 Bad manners at work
Etiquette is the name we give to the rules for being polite in a social group. Business etiquette is
important for people who often have to make new contacts and build relationships in their
work. Politeness can also help to improve the working environment for people in the same office.
Some cultures and situations are formal, which means that we have to follow rules; other cultures
and situations are more informal.
Text 2 Office workers “admit being rude”
Most office workers say they are rude or bad-mannered at work. Two out of three workers regularly
arrive late for meetings, most ignore emails and three out of four use bad language. In a survey of
1,000 workers, two-thirds say that pressure of work is the reason for bad manners.
Other common examples of bad office etiquette include ignoring colleagues and answering mobile
phone calls during meetings. Using mobile phones in meetings is impolite and distracts others,
research by the University of Surrey shows. If you respond to call when speaking to somebody, it
means that the phone call is more important than the person, the survey said. If you answer a call
during a meeting, it could mean that the meeting is not important.
Mr Jacobs, managing director of Office Angels, a recruitment firm say it is easy for people to forget
their manners in the working environment, which is often very informal and very busy. Workers can
forget proper etiquette such as introducing people at meetings, and this is often bad for working
relationships.
Psychologist Dr Colin Gill believes that people are not as polite as they were twenty years ago. He
said: ‘Courtesy is no longer something that is so much respected in our society.’ People think it is
‘stuffy to be polite or formal.’
Now some organisations are actually investing money in training their junior managers to be polite.
Office Angels is encouraging people to arrive on time for meetings, turn off mobile phones and avoid
bad manners at work is such a simple thing to do,’ Mr Jacobs says, ‘ and it can have a dramatic
impact on improving your working environment and your relationships with others.’

a. reflect the fact of officer’s bad manners at work with illustrations
b. reflect the fact of officer’s good manners at work with illustrations

Color Matters for What You Wear
Clothes are like a second skin. Most likely you feel good when you wear your favorite color. What
happens when someone sees you wearing any color - for example blue? Does the color send a
message?
What do you think about pink and blue for children?
One of the most common examples of color symbolism in clothing is the custom of using pink for
girls and blue for boys, but it wasn't always this way. This tradition emerged at the turn of the
20th century. Since pink was thought to be a stronger color, it was best suited for boys; blue was
more delicate and dainty and best for girls. In 1921, the Women's Institute for Domestic Science in
Pennsylvania endorsed pink for boys, blue for girls.
Even more interesting is the fact that pink is the color for baby boys and blue is the color for baby
girls in Belgium today.
Another interesting fact about pink is that pink is a very masculine color in Bermuda. Also, British
bankers and barristers have worn pink shirts for decades. Pink goes in and out of fashion in other
parts of the world. White is the traditional color for a bride's wedding gown in the U.S. and most
European cultures. White symbolizes purity and innocence.
What about the color worn for weddings and funerals?
In Asia, white is the color of death. This arises from the belief that death is seen as a beginning and
that white represents the purity that the deceased brings into the next life. Therefore, brides in Japan
and China wear red in traditional wedding ceremonies.
White is also associated with death in India, where widows wear white. Consequently, red or pink
saris are the most popular colors for brides.
What about black clothes?
Black symbolizes death and is the traditional color of mourning in Western cultures. Black clothing is
associated with powerful forces in many parts of the world. Bad and good Witches, the devil, ninjas,
cat burglars, Darth Vader, Cat Woman, and Batman wear black....and so do priests, nuns, judges,
mimes, Mennonites, Bedouins, and monks.
Maybe the common thread is that these people are signaling their seriousness of purpose - or the
need to be hard to see - or both.
Here's something else to think about: What happens when the same people wear green? Are they
as powerful? Are the priest and nun as respectable?

a. Colors and your personality.
b. Colors and kids.
c. Colors and what you wear.

The Royal Family
1. Prince William is a member of the British royal family. He’s the Queen’s grandson and the
eldest son of Charles and Diana. His brother’s name is Harry. Diana, their mother, isn’t alive
now, but they have a stepmother, Camilla.
2. William’s wife is Kate Middleton. She’s originally from an ordinary family- but of course, she’s
now the Duchess of Cambridge and part of the royal family! Kate has a brother, James, and
a sister, Pippa. Their parents, Michael and Carole, have an online business.
3. In some ways, Kate and William are a normal couple. They have friends from university and
they have hobbies and interests too. For example, William loves football and Kate likes
photography. In the winter, they go skiing together.
4. In other ways, their lives are very different from their friends’ lives. William is the future King
of the United Kingdom – and fifteen other countries too, including Canada and Australia.
Kate and William have a lot of official duties. They help charities in the UK and Africa, they
visit other countries and they meet important visitors to the UK.
5. The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting a baby, St James’s Palace has confirmed. All the
Members of the Royal Family and the duchess’s family, the Middletons, are delighted: “The
Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall and Prince
Harry and members of both families are delighted with the news.”
The baby will be third in line to the throne, after Prince Charles and Prince William. A spokesman
said the duchess has been admitted to King Edward VII Hospital in central London with acute
morning sickness and is expected to stay for several days: “As the pregnancy is in its very early
stages, Her Royal Highness is expected to stay in hospital for several days and will require a period
of rest thereafter.”
6. Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, says he and his wife “could not be happier” after the
duchess gave birth to a baby boy, at 16:30, 22nd July 2013 UK time at St Mary’s Hospital, west
London. William was present at St Mary’s for the birth. The young parents spent time with their son
before telling the news to their families and the world. The Queen’s gynecologist Marcus Setchell,
who led the team that delivered the baby, described the new arrival as “wonderful baby, beautiful
baby”. A bulletin signed by him was taken by a royal aide from St Mary’s to the palace under police
escort. The news has been since displayed on an easel in the forecourt of Buckingham Palace in
line with tradition. A Palace spokesman said the names of the baby would be announced in due
course. A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: “The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh are delighted at
the news.”

Cruz Island to the Californian coast.
In January 2004, at the age of 52, David crossed New Zealand’s Cook Strait in 9 hours and 38

ready to swim the Strait. Then, he and his wife flew to New Zealand so that David could practice for
a few weeks there. But, only days after they arrived, the weather improved so David decided to start
his swim. He did it with the help of a team. ‘They were great’, David said. ‘They were in a boat next
to me all the time! After a few hours, I thought about stopping but I didn’t and went on swimming’.
Afterwards, David and his wife travelled around New Zealand before returning to the USA.

The Olympic Games

During the Olympic Games, people from all over the world come together in the peace and
friendship. Some of these people complete for medals. Several million people attend the games, and
millions of other people watch them on television.
Why do we have the Olympic Games? How did they begin? The first Olympic Games that we have
records of were in Greece in 776 B.C. The games lasted one day. The only event in the first thirteen
Olympic Games was a race. Men ran the length or the stadium (about 192 meters). Then, longer
running races were added. Through the years, a few other kinds of events, like the long jump, were
also added. During this time, the games were for men only, and women could not even watch them.
In the year 393, a Roman emperor ended the Olympic Game because the quality of the games
became very low. The Olympics did not take place again for 1500 years!
In 1984, Pierre de Coubertin of France helped from the International Olympic Committee, and the
modern Olympic Games began. In1896, the games were held again in Athens, Greece. The Greeks
built a new stadium for the competition. Three hundred and eleven athletes from thirteen countries
competed in many events. The winners became national heroes.
After 1896, the games were held every four years during the summer in different cities around the
world. In 1900, the Olympics were in Paris, France, and women competed for the first time. In 1908,
in London, England, the first gold medals were given to winning athletes. Before that time, the
winners received only silver and bronze medals. The Olympic flag was first introduced in 1920 in
Antwerp, Belgium. The flag has five rings on it. The rings represent the continents of Africa, Asia,
Australia, Europe, and North and South American. Each ring is a different color – blue, yellow, black,
green, or red – because the flag of each of the countries that compete in the games has at least one
of these colors in it.
The Olympic Winter games began in 1924 in Chamonix, France. Athletes competed in winter events
such as skiing, ice skating, and ice hockey. Today, the Winter Games take places every four years.
The Summer Games also take place every four years, but not in the same year as the winter events.
Both the Summer Games and the Winter Games must have at least fifteen events, and they cannot
last more than sixteen days.
Until recently, Olympic competitors could not be professional athletes. All of the athletes in the
Olympic Games were amateurs. Today, however, many of the Olympic athletes are professional who
play their sports for money during the year. Some people disagree with this idea. They believe that
the Olympic game are for amateur athletes, not paid professionals. Other people think that any one
can play in the Olympic Games. No matter who the athletes are, millions of people throughout the
world enjoy watching the greatest athletic competitions, the Summer Game and the Winter Games
of the Olympics.
