and costs about $6 each way, depending on exactly where you’re going. Trains leave
approximately every 20 minutes.
Taxis from the airport to the city centre cost $30 to $35, plus tip (this should be
around 10% of the fare).
Airport buses leave from outside the baggage-claim area every 30 minutes
from 5.35 a.m. to 9.05 p.m. They stop at several Union Square-area hotels, including
the Grand Hyatt, San Francisco Hilton, and Palace. No reservations are needed. For
the return trip, the buses pick up at hotels as early as 5.30 a.m. Make a reservation 24
hours in advance if possible. the cost per person is $13 single, $22 return; children
under 12 are free.

A The City Refuge
This Refuge was started in the 19th century in the East End of London.
Traditionally, the East End has always been the poorest part of London and the
people who started this Refuge helped those who had no money, and nowhere to
sleep. The Refuge still runs today on the same basis. There is no charge to stay there,
and there is even tea and toast in the morning. But the people who have been drinking
alcohol or taking drugs are not accepted. They will only take people who are in
desperate need of somewhere to sleep.
64
B Long Term Hotels
There are several streets around an area of London called King’s Cross that
only have this type of accommodation. They used to be for tourists who wanted to be
centrally located. But this has now changed. King’s Cross has become an area famous
for crime of all kinds, and tourists are advised not to go there at all. Long Term
Hotels are quite cheap and have a bed and a wash-basin in the room. They are often
dirty, damp and dangerous. You can stay there for a long time, but these hotels are
not for the clean-living visitors!
C The Bayswater Hotels
This area of London is a few minutes’ bus away from Hyde Park. The hotels
are reasonably priced and the area is a safe one which attracts many tourists. The
Bayswater Hotels are small hotels with a warm, friendly atmosphere. The rooms are
kept very clean and have the tea-tray which enables guests to make themselves a cup
of tea or coffee at no extra charge. These hotels have a bar and a restaurant which can
be used by people who are not even staying in the hotel.
D The YMCA
The Young Men’s Christian Association has a very impressive complex in the
heart of London’ West End. Originally the YMCA met together for religious studies,
but it has now grown into a huge organization. The YMCA has some of the best
facilities in London with a gym, squash courts and a swimming pool. It is a long term
hotel and many residents stay there for months. The rooms are very comfortably
furnished and have their own bathroom. It rather expensive to live, but if you want
lots of things to do and want to meet lots of people in a safe, central environment,
then this is for you.
E The Dorchester Hotel
The Dorchester, situated in the heart of London, is one of the most luxurious
and expensive hotels in the world. The services they offer are the best you can find,
from serving you tea to driving you around London. The staff have a strict dress-code
and always wear a uniform. The rooms are absolutely luxurious, with televisions,
Jacuzzis, a fully-stocked bar, fresh flowers and fruit. Definitely a hotel for people
with taste and a large bank account.

The Slow Down Diet: Eating for Pleasure, Energy, and Weight Loss
by Mark David
Our modern culture is very interested in doing as much as possible in the least
amount of time. As a result, most people rush through life at a speed that makes a
healthy lifestyle impossible. We eat fast, on the run, and often under stress. As a
result, we not only loose most of the pleasure we might get from our food, but also
damage our health. Many of us come to the end of the day feeling depressed and
overweight.
In The Slow Down Diet, Marc David presents a new way to understand our
relationship with food, encouraging us to look for quality ingredients and to take
pleasure in eating. He presents an eight-week programme that allows readers to
analyze their own connection to food, helping them get rid of old habits and any guilt
they may have. He explains the disadvantages of all “quick-fix” diets and tells the
truth about common myths, such as “the right way to loose weight is to eat less and
exercise more”. Instead, he shows us strategies that help both the body and soul,
proving that a full enjoyment of each meal is the best way to healthy body.
c) Answer the questions.
1 Why is a healthy lifestyle difficult for many people?
2 Do many people really enjoy their food?
3 How do many people feel at the end of the day?
4 How does Marc David want us to change our relationship with food?
5 How long does the programme last?
6 Does Marc David believe in strict diets?
7 What does the book say will happen if we really enjoy our meals?
2. a) Before reading the article say which food and drink comes from your
country? Which foreign food and drink is popular in your country?
b) Read the text. Write the correct question heading for each paragraph.
Where does our food come from? ■ What do we eat? ■ How do we eat?

FOOD AROUND THE WORLD
For 99% of human history people took their food from the world around them.
They ate all that they could find and then moved on. Then about 10.000 years
ago, or for 1% of human history, people learnt to farm the land and control their
environment.
The kind of food we eat depends on which part of the world we live in, or
which part of our country we live in. For example, in the south of China they eat rice,
but in the north they eat noodles. In Scandinavia, they eat a lot of herrings, and the
Portuguese love sardines. But in central Europe, away from the sea, people don’t eat
so much fish, they eat more meat and sausages. In Germany and Poland there are
hundreds of different kinds of sausages.
In North America, Australia, and Europe there are two or more courses to
every meal and people eat with knifes and forks. In China there is only one course, all
the food is together on the table, and they eat with chopsticks. In parts of India and
the Middle East people use their fingers and bread to pick up the food.
Nowadays it is possible to transport food easily from one part of the world to
the other. We can eat what we like, at any time of the year. Our bananas come from
the Caribbean or Africa, our rice comes from India or the USA, our strawberries
come from Chile or Spain. Food is very big business. But people in poor countries are
still hungry, and people in rich countries eat too much.
b) Answer the questions.
1 When did human history start? Was it about 10,000 years ago or was it about
1 million years ago?
2 Do they eat much rice in the south of China?
3 Why do the Scandinavians and the Portuguese eat a lot of fish?
4 Why don’t the Germans eat much fish?
5 Which countries have many kinds of sausages?
6 How many courses are there in China?
7 How do people eat in the Middle East?
8 Why can we eat strawberries at any time of the year?
(SHOPPING)

1. Which city are the speakers in?
2. What shops can you find there?
3. What can you buy at these shops?
4. What are the opening hours?
67
5. When do the sales take place?
6. How does Lisa recommend the place to Alice?
A: Mm, that was wonderful coffee. Oh, it's so nice to be here in Brussels with
you, Lisa — and I can't wait to go shopping!
L: Ah, you've come to the right place, then! Boutiques, confectioner's, lace
shops, antique shops, enormous department stores — you can shop till you drop, my
dear.
A: That's great! Where shall we go first?
L: Well, the Sablon District is full of antique shops. You must visit Dewindt,
on Lebeau-straat. It's got some lovely antiques.
A: Oh, Lisa! Aren't you coming with me?
L: I can't, I'm afraid, but I'll meet you at three, outside Inno Brussels on rue
Neuve. It's Brussels' most famous department store, and you can buy everything from
clothes to jewellery there.
A: Ooh, that sounds exciting! And what about souvenirs? Brussels is famous
for chocolate and lace, isn't it?
L: Yes, it is, and Leonidas on Boterstraat has the most delicious pralines in the
world. We can also go to F. Rubbrecht in the Grand-Place. We'll find the best lace
there.
A: Will we have enough time? The shops are open from nine to six, aren't
they?
L: That's right, but it's Friday today. Shops are open until 8:00 pm on Fridays.
And there are sales every January and July, so ...
A: The sales are on now? That's great! I can find some bargains!
L: Of course you can. Didn't I tell you? Brussels really is the best place for
shoppers!
2. a) Read the text about Zara.
Have you ever been to Zara store?
You probably have because it's one of the fastest-growing chains in the world.
The person behind Zara is Amancio Ortega. He is the richest man in Spain, but very
few people know his face. There are only two official photographs of him, and he
rarely gives interviews. Although he is a multimillionaire businessman, he doesn't
look like one - he doesn't like wearing suits or ties, and prefers to wear jeans and a
shirt.
When he was young he worked as a shop assistant in a clothes store, but he
always dreamed of having his own business. In 1963 he started a small company
which made women's pyjamas. In 1975, at the age of 40, he opened his first clothes
shop in La Corufia, a small city in north-west Spain, and named it Zara. Now you can
find Zara shops all over the world, from New York to Moscow to Singapore. So why
is Zara so successful?
68
The main reason is that Zara reacts incredibly quickly to the latest designer
fashions, and produces clothes which are fashionable but inexpensive. Zara can make
a new line of clothes in three weeks. Other companies normally take about nine
months. The clothes also change from week to week - so custormers keep coming
back to see what's new. It produces 20,000 new designs a year - and none of them
stay in the shops for more than a month.
So if you've seen a new jacket or skirt you like in ZARA store, hurry up and
buy it, because it won't be there for long.
b) Cover the text and answer the questions below from memory.
1. Who is Amancio Ortega?
2. What is unusual about him?
3. When did he open the first Zara shop?
4. Where are there Zara shops now?
5. What are the secrets of Zara s success?
