Pyramids

The Great Pyramid at Giza is one of the world's most amazing* landmarks. Rising high above the Sahara Desert in the Giza region of northern Egypt, the Great Pyramid stands some 450 feet into the burning desert sky and occupies of an area of 13 acres. The rough climate of the Sahara has actually caused the pyramid to shrink 30 feet from its original height. The pyramid was such an amazing feat of engineering, that it remained the tallest structure in the world for over 3,800 years! The entire pyramid was originally faced with polished limestone to make it shine brilliantly in the sun.

Most Egyptologists, scientists who study ancient Egypt, agree that the Great Pyramid was built around 2560 BC, a little more than 4,500 years ago. It took tens of thousands of workers twenty years to build it. The pyramid contains over two million stone blocks. Although most of the blocks weigh two or three tons, some weigh up to 80 tons! The Great Pyramid of Giza was ordered to be built by the Pharaoh Khufu as a magnificent tomb. His vizier (advisor) Hemon is credited with being the pyramid's architect. Khufu's pyramid is actually part of a complex of pyramids that includes the Pyramid of Khafre, the smaller Pyramid of Menkaure, a variety of smaller pyramids and structures, and the Great Sphinx. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the last remaining of the Seven Wonders of the World.

Presidents' Day

The United States has at least one holiday in every month except August. On the third Monday of February, Americans celebrate the birthday of two former presidents. They are George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. They were both famous U.S. presidents and they both had birthdays in February. Even though they are different days, Americans celebrate both of them on the same day.

George Washington was born February 22, 1732. He was the first president of the Uni­ted States, elected by unanimous vote in 1789. He is sometimes referred to as The Father of Our Country [the USA]. He was one of the people who fought in the Revolutionary War and later helped write the United States Constitution. There is a famous story about George Washington when he was a young boy. It says that he chopped down his father's cherry tree with an ax. When his father asked, "Who did this?" young George replied, "I cannot tell a lie. I did it." Many children have heard this story and are encouraged to always tell the truth.

Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12,1809. He became the president in 1860. His presidency was difficult. The states in the north and the south were divided because of slavery. White people in the south owned black people. The north did not like it. A civil war began between the two sides. In the end, the northern states won and President Lin­coln helped to free the slaves. He gave a very famous speech about how everybody had the right to be free and how all people were equal. After the civil war, Abraham Lincoln went to see a play. While he was there, he was assassinated.

Both George Washington and Abraham Lincoln were very famous presidents in the United States. Today you can see their faces on the American money. George Washington is depicted on the one dollar bill and Abraham Lincoln is on the five dollar bill. Many schools and some cities in the USA are named after each president. And the State of Washington and Washington D.C. were both named after President Washington.

I have returned to my hometown of Wilson Creek after an absence of 10 years. So many things have changed around here. When I left Wilson Creek, there was a small pond on the right as you left town. They have filled in this pond and they have built a large shopping mall there. A new post office has also been built just across from my old school.

There is a baseball stadium on the outskirts of Wilson Creek which has been changed completely. They have now added a new stand where probably a few thousand people could sit. It looks really great.

The biggest changes have taken place in the downtown area. They have changed the centre into a walking zone and you can't drive there anymore. A European-style fountain has been built and some benches have also been added along with a grassy area and a new street café.

My street looks just the same as it always has but a public library has been built in the next street along. There used to be a great park there but they have cut down all the trees which is a pity. The library now has a large green area in front of it but it's not the same as when the park was there.

Another improvement is the number of new restaurants that have opened in Wilson Creek. A Chinese and an Italian restaurant have opened in the town centre and a Mexican restaurant has opened near my home. Which is where I am going tonight!

1. Jake's school doesn't exist anymore.

2. They have improved the baseball stadium.

3. Jake likes the new-look baseball stadium.

Agatha Christie was probably the most successful writer in history. She wrote 78 crime novels, six other novels, 150 short stories, four non-fiction books and 19 plays. That re­presents two billion books sold: more than William Shakespeare!

Christie became a writer by accident. She was bored when her husband was away in the First World War. Agatha was working in a hospital dispensary (which is where she learned all the information about poisons that she used in her books). She decided to write a novel to pass the time. She chose a detective novel because she loved reading them. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, was an instant success. Each book had a new inge­nious plot. Readers loved the books, particularly because Christie always gave the readers all the information they needed to find the solution.

Christie loved travelling. When she became rich she could go all over the world. She used the travels in her writing.

Agatha Christie died in 1976, but her stories are still immensely popular. Many have been adapted for film or television.

Levi Strauss was born in Germany in the mid 1800's and emigrated to the United States as a young man. He lived in New York City and learned the dry-goods business for several <[ years. In 1853 he took his knowledge and his dreams to San Francisco (California, USA). His dream to succeed came true over the next 20 years as he became a very successful busi­nessman.

Many of Levi Strauss' customers were cowboys and miners. They needed clothing that ^ was strong and durable. Strauss found a special fabric from France that was comfortable and lasted a long time. It was called "serge de Nimes," which was later shortened to the ^ word denim.

Another man named Jacob Davis bought large amounts of the denim fabric from Levi ^ Strauss. He was a tailor who made pants for hard-working men. One of his customers was continually tearing the pockets off his pants. So Jacob Davis decided to put rivets on cer- ^ tain parts of the pants to make them stronger. The customer loved the new pants so much (_] that he told all his friends, and soon Jacob Davis was busy making lots of pants with ri- vets. ^

Jacob Davis soon realized that using rivets was a great business idea, and he didn't want anybody to steal that idea. He decided that he would need to get a patent. But being ^L a poor tailor, he didn't have enough money to pay for the patent. After thinking it over, he g^ went to the businessman Levi Strauss and told him his idea. He said, "If you agree to pay for the patent, we will share the profits from the riveted pants." Levi Strauss did agree, and the new riveted pants business was called Levi Strauss and Company. Today Levi's _n jeans are more popular than ever, and Levi's name continues to live on. yj

About one hundred years ago many educated people learned and spoke French when they met people from other countries. Today most people speak English when they meet foreigners. It has become the new international language. There are more people who speak English as a second language than people who speak English as a first language. Why is this so?

There are many reasons why English has become so popular. One of them is that Eng­lish has become the language of business. Another important reason is that popular Ame­rican culture (like films, music, and McDonald's) has quickly spread throughout the world. It has brought its language with it.

Is it good that English has spread to all parts of the world so quickly? On the one hand, it's important to have a language that the people of the earth have in common. Our world has become very global and we need to communicate with one another.

On the other hand, English is a fairly complicated language to learn and it brings its culture with it.

Scientists have already tried to create an artificial language that isn't too difficult and doesn't include any one group's culture. It is called Esperanto. But it hasn't become popu­lar. But maybe the popularity of English won't last that long either. Who knows? There are more people in the world who speak Chinese than any other language. Maybe someday Chinese will be the new international language.

Ape Art

Works of art by apes have been displayed in art galleries around the world since the 1950's. It's no joke. Apes are natural artists and ape art is becoming big business.

Ape art did not use to have any form. In fact, paintings by chimps were nothing more than paint thrown onto a canvas, and it was impossible to tell what the pictures were meant

to show. (1) They can even use sigh language to give their paintings titles.

Koko and Michael live in California and they have been painters since they were very

young. (2) At first she was shy, and did not want to show anyone her pictures, but now

Koko's and Michael's art work is displayed in exhibitions and they have many fans. Unfor­tunately, not all of their paintings survive, as they often eat their work as soon as it is finished!

Sadly, there is bad news for these recently discovered artists. (3) There are only

600 Mountain gorillas and a few thousand lowland gorillas left in the world. The work of Koko and Michael is being used to help raise money to save the world's gorillas.

Some people might laugh and say that these paintings are not art, but who really knows what art is?

(4) Although you cannot buy Koko's and Michael's original paintings, many people

are prepared to pay a great deal of money to buy high quality copies of the originals. (5)

You will receive not only a colourful picture of T-shirt, but you will also be helping to save one of the world's most intelligent species. Is there a better way to spend money?

A Koko learnt to draw when she was just three years old.

B The truth is, there has been a great deal of commercial interest in gorilla art in all its forms.

C They even buy T-shirts printed with their pictures. I) No one wants to buy gorilla paintings. E Ck»rillas are an endangered species.

F Today, however, some gorillas, like Michael and Koko, are able to paint quite realistic pictures of the objects around them.

At an elevation of 29,028 feet (8,848 metres) above sea level, Mount Everest is the world's tallest mountain. Mount Everest is relatively young, having been formed only 60 million years ago, and it is still growing a few millimetres every year! Mount Everest is i— in the mountain range called the Himalayas. The summit ridge of Mount Everest separates

Nepal and Tibet. Each place has a special name for this giant mountain. The Nepalese name |

is Sagarmatha, which means "goddess of the sky". The Tibetan name is Chomolungma, ^ which means "mother goddess of the universe". In English, Mount Everest is named after Sir George Everest, the first person to record the height and location of the mountain. J^t A climb to the summit was attempted by George Mallory in 1922, who famously gave his q reason for wanting to climb Everest as "because it's there". He attempted to reach the ^ summit again in the company of Andrew Irvine in 1924, but on this trip both climbers disappeared. The first successful ascent (and descent) of Mount Everest was accomplished ^ by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay on May 29^th, 1953. The first ascent by a wo- QJ man was on May 16^th, 1975, by Junko Tabei from Japan. Between 1921 and 2007, over two CJ thousand people have climbed Mount Everest, some more than once. Since the first ascent ^ in 1953, more than 600 climbers from 20 different countries have reached the summit. However, over two hundred climbers have died attempting to climb Mount Everest, most commonly from avalanches, but also from falls in crevasses, cold, or high-altitude sick- pp nesses.

Gail Mirabella used to train her dogs to do tricks when she was a kid. Eventually, her hobby turned into a career. Today, Mirabella works as a dog trainer for Ringling Bros, and Barnum & Bailey circus. Backstage before a recent show, she talked to Time Magazine Kid Reporter, Cameron Young, about why she chose this career path, how the dogs are trained and her overall love for dogs.

Reporter: Did you always want to be a dog trainer in the circus?

Mirabella: When I was a little kid, I think I was about 9 or 10,1 did my first dog show, a kid's dog show, and I actually took first place with the best tricks. From then on, I kind of realized I wanted to work with dogs, but who would have thought I'd be in the circus? Reporter: Did you have any dogs growing up?

Mirabella: Absolutely. I had a white shepherd when I was a little baby. And then when he passed away, we got a couple of family dogs. When I was 14,1 got my first dog for my­self for my birthday. He was a big shepherd and reminded me of the shepherd I had when I was a baby. That dog actually lived to be 14 years old, and he went to college with me too. Reporter: How long does it take you to train a dog?

Mirabella: That depends on the dog. For some of the dogs that I rescued or adopted, it may take up to a year. First and foremost, I develop a bond with the dog. I become like their best friend. I have thirteen dogs and I let them all play together, but I do a lot of individual work with each dog. They know that I am the one in charge because I do all the feeding, and it keeps everyone pretty well balanced.

Reporter: If you weren't a dog trainer, what would you be?

Mirabella: A dog. Just kidding. I would probably still work with animals. I would probably be a dolphin trainer.

Kharkiv: City of Students

(1)

Kharkiv is the second largest city in Ukraine after Kyiv. It is situated in the North­eastern part of the country, at the point where the Lopan, Udy, Kharkiv and Nemyshlya rivers meet. The city is home to 1.6 million people, including 230,000 students.

(2)

The ancestors of the present-day students were Cossacks who founded the city as a for­tress in 1654 to protect southern Russian borders from the Crimean Tatars and named it Kharkiv after the river flowing through it. The wooden fort had ten towers and was sur­rounded by a double wall.

3. )

In 1726, Kharkiv Collegium (the first Slavonic-Greek-Latin school) was founded where the famous Ukrainian poet and philosopher Grigory Skovoroda taught.

3. )

In 1805, Kharkiv University was founded. It was the first in Livoberezhna Ukraine (on the left bank of the Dnipro) and the third in the Russian empire. At present, Kharkiv Na­tional University is named after the talented scientist V. N. Karazin who worked hard to raise money for this outstanding project. There are 15 departments at the university.

3. )

The education and research potential of the city is covered by over- 150 state institu­tions, about 200 secondary schools and a growing number of private educational establish­ments. Specialists in various fields of expertise are trained in Kharkiv state institutions including six academies, 10 universities and eight institutes, among them Kharkiv Poly­technic University, Kharkiv State Law Academy, Kharkiv Pedagogical University, Na­tional Pharmaceutical Academy and others.

Read the texts given below. Write A (for Blarney Castle) or B (for Dunnottar Castle).

A. Blarney Castle

Eight kilometres north of the city of Cork (Southern Ireland) you will find Blarney Castle, home of the famous Blarney Stone. This stone is traditionally believed to give whoever kisses it the gift of eloquent speech. Built in 1446 by Dermot McCarthy, King of Munster, Blarney Castle has a rich history. It is believed that a past king of Munster sent 4,000 men to help Robert the Bruce win the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. His reward was said to be half of the Stone of Scone, which was renamed the Blarney Stone.

Blarney Castle today is a very popular tourist attraction although most of it is in ruins. Many features remain, though, like the tower and the narrow spiral staircases. Visitors who wish to kiss the stone must climb up a very narrow winding staircase to the top of the battle­ments, then lie on their back and lean slightly over the edge of the tower to reach the stone. Visitors can also enjoy a walk through the beautiful, well-kept grounds, where they will find the Rock Close. This is a mysterious place with ancient stones and trees that were used by the druids.

B. Dunnottar Castle

Scotland's Dunnottar Castle is located on a huge outcrop of flat rock with sheer cliffs on three sides, it is the perfect place for a fortress, and there has been one here since the 13th century.

Dunnottar has a long and exciting past. William Wallace, Mary Queen of Scots, King Charles II and the Marquis of Montrose have all played a part in its rich history. The Scottish Crown Jewels, the "Honours of Scotland", were hidden here in the 17th century.

Dunnottar used to be one of the strongest fortresses in Scotland. However, the castle was abandoned in the 18th century and it fell into decay until 1925. Today visitors can see the 14th century keep, which was built by Sir William Keith in 1392 and is still intact. There are also barracks, lodgings, stables and storehouses.

The castle has become a lot more popular in recent years since the site was used as one of the locations for the film "Hamlet" starring Mel Gibson. It is also popular with birdwatchers because of its location.

Which of the castles:

was used to hide something precious? (1)

has a special stone? (2)

Is associated with a famous film star? (3)

has something that nobody really understands? (4)

Money

Nine thousand years ago, people did not have money. They traded animals for things they wanted. They traded crops for what they wanted. In China, in about 1200 B.C., people traded shells, metal tools, knives and shovels for the things they wanted. For example, they traded metal. Later in China, people made metal money. In about 100 B.C., the Chinese made money of animal skin. The first paper money was made from white coloured deer skin. It came from China about 900 years later. In about 700 B.C., people made the first round metal coins. The coins were made of gold and silver. They looked very similar to the coins we use today. These coins came from Lydia. Lvdia was located where the country called Turkey is located today. After people made coins in Lydia, people in Rome, Iran, and Greece also began making coins. Coins were veiy durable - they were strong and could last a long time without becoming damaged.

Wampum are necklaces made from beads and seashells. The beads had holes in them. People put beads on strings. American Indians used wampum for money in the 1500's. Money changes with time. No matter what it looks like, money is an idea. It is the thought that people can trade something they have for something they want. Money makes trading easier.

Candle clocks were used a very long time ago. They work by measuring the time it takes q for the wax to melt. Hourglasses are similar to candle clocks because they also measure the time it takes for something to happen. Hourglasses work by measuring the time it takes for sand to pour through a small opening into a glass.

Mechanical clocks appeared in the 13^th century in Europe. They work with a system of (J moving gears. The gears always move at the same speed. Pendulum clocks work with a C[ swinging weight. The swinging weight is called a pendulum. The pendulum makes the ^ clock parts move.

Now people typically use mechanical clocks or digital clocks. Digital clocks show num- bers on a screen. The numbers represent the time. Some people use auditory clocks.

Auditory clocks use language to tell the time aloud. Computers also use clocks. Com- puters use internal clocks in order to work properly. In today's world, clocks are every- V where - in homes, schools, offices, and public places.

Many people live their lives according to the clock. People go to work and return home according to the clock. School days start and end according to the clock. Airplanes take off ^ and land according to the clock. It is fun to imagine a world without clocks!

While birds might be happy, they sing in order to communicate. One reason they sing is to stake a claim on territory. Birds sing to warn other birds to stay off their property. For example, a robin might stake a claim on a piece of land which measures about 200 feet wide by 200 feet long. This amount of land provides enough worms for the robin to feed its family. A bird maintains singing perches around the outside edges of its territory. The perches are high in the trees, so other birds can see and hear it. Birds also sing to find mate. The length and complexity of the mating song gives information about the fitness of the bird. Healthy birds can sing longer, more complicated songs. Birds call to one another in shorter vocalizations in order to warn of danger and to locate one another. Birds sing instinctively. Young birds learn to perfect their songs by listening to adult birds and in­teracting with other birds. Birds in a local area might learn variations in the basic song which help them recognize other members of their group.

A nickname is a shortened form of a person's name. A nickname can also be a descriptive name for a person, place or thing". America's fifty states have some of the most historically interesting nicknames. Alabama is known as the Heart of Dixie because it is in the very middle of a group of states in the Deep South. "Dixie" itself is a nickname for the American South. It started when Louisiana printed notes with the French word for "ten" on them. "Deece," or "D-I-X," led to "Dixie." Way up north, Alaska is called the Last Frontier for understandable reasons. Near the Arctic Circle, it was the final part of the nation to be explored and settled. Arizona is the Grand Canyon State because of the famous winding canyon carved by the Colorado River. The southern state of Arkansas is the Land of Opportunity. The state legislature chose this nickname. Arkansas is rich in natural resources and has become a favourite place for older people to retire. In a popular Spanish book, a fictional island called "California" was filled with gold. Sure enough, plenty of it was discovered in the real California, in 1848. This started a gold rush unlike any other in American history in the Golden State. You would think Colorado would be known as the Rocky Mountain State. But its nickname is the Centennial State. That is because it became a state in 1876, exactly one hundred years after the nation declared its independence. Connecticut is called the Nutmeg State after a spice. Connecticut Yankees, as people in this northeast state are called, are known to be smart in business. So smart that it was said they could sell wooden, meaning false, nutmegs to strangers. Little Delaware is called the First State because it was the first state - the first to approve the new United States Constitution. The Southern state of Florida likes to tell about its sunny days and fine beaches. So Florida is the Sunshine State. Florida's neighbour to the north grows some of the sweetest fruit in America. So Georgia is the Peach State. Hawaii, far out in the Pacific Ocean, is the Aloha State. That is the friendly greeting that means both "hello" and "goodbye" in the native Hawaiian language.

One of South America's mysteries is Easter Island. Easter Island, also called Rapa Nui and Isla de Pascua, 3,600 km (2,237 ml) west of Chile, is a volcanic island with an interes­ting and partly unknown history. The island was named by the Dutch explorer Jacob Rog- geveen because he encountered it on Easter Sunday, 1722. He was the first European to find the island. The official name of the island, Isla de Pascua, means Easter Island in Spanish. This island is famous because of the approximately 887 huge statues which were found there. The statues consist of heads and complete torsos, the largest of which weighs 84 tons! These monuments, called moai, were carved out of compressed volcanic ash, called tuff, which was found at a quarry at a place called Rano Raraku. Statues are still being found. Some of the monuments were left only half-carved. Nobody knows why Rano Ra­raku was abandoned. It is thought that the statues were carved by the ancestors of the modern Polynesian inhabitants. But the purpose of the statues and the reason they were abandoned remain mysteries.

Public school in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries consisted of many students of different ages who were learning together in a one-room school house. Their education lasted only a few weeks a year, usually during the winter when their services were not required on the family farm. Teachers were mostly untrained, and educational materials were limited.

1. Having started in a one-room schoolhouse, Horace Mann struggled to become educated. He eventually rose to the position of state senator where he began a lifelong crusade to improve public education.

2. John Dewey (1859-1952) believed that children should learn through experience based on children's psychological development and guided by a knowledgeable teacher.

3. Maria Montessori (1870-1952) pioneered a type of education named after her where students direct their own learning based on their interests and development.

4. Jean Piaget (1896-1980) developed the groundwork for the theory of cognitive development in children. While some of Piaget's stages have since been altered by other research, his theory that children develop in stages and through sociological methods was the first of its kind and made a big impact on how children are educated.

From "Roald Dahl Biography"

Roald Dahl was born in Wales on September 16, 1916 to Norwegian parents. His father died when he was 3 years old and he was raised by his mother. He had a fairly unhappy time at boarding school which provided some of the inspiration for his later stories.

After leaving school he worked for the Shell Oil Company based in Africa until the out­break of World War II, when he signed up with the Royal Air Force. Unfortunately, he was injured in action and eventually returned home as an invalid. He was then sent to Washington DC to work as an attaché where, almost by accident, he started his writing career. When he was interviewed for an article about his time in action he offered to write about his experiences. His piece was published in the Saturday Evening Post, that signed him up to write more articles.

In 1943 he wrote his first children's book, "The Gremlins," which was originally inten­ded to be made into an animated film by Walt Disney. The film was not made and instead, Dahl turned to writing adult fiction, not writing another children's story until the 1960s.

By this time he was a father himself and had started making up stories to entertain his own children. From this came the stories of "James and the Giant Peach" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." He went on to write 21 children's books including "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", "The BFG", "Matilda", and "The Witches", all of which have been made into films. Roald Dahl died on November 23, 1990.

Native Americans

Native Americans are peoples who occupied North America before the arrival of the Europeans in the 15^th century. They have long been known as Indians because of the belief prevalent at the time of Columbus that the Americas were the outer reaches of the Indies (hence the name 'East Indies'). Most scholars agree that Native Americans came into the Western Hemisphere from Asia via the Bering Strait in a series of migrations. From Alaska they spread east and south.

The several waves of migration are said to account for the many native linguistic families while the common origin is used to explain the physical characteristics that Native Americans have in common (though with considerable variation): Mongoloid features, coarse, straight black hair, dark eyes, sparse body hair, and a skin colour ranging from vellow-brown to red­dish brown. Many scholars accept evidence of Native American existence in the Americas more than 25,000 years ago. In pre-Columbian times (prior to 1492) the Native American population of the area north of Mexico is estimated to have been between one and two million.

There is no part of the world with as many distinctly different native languages as the Western Hemisphere. Although most of the Native American languages that were spoken at the time of the European arrival in the New World in the late 15^th century have become extinct, many of them are still in use today.

• a their languages are extremely diverse. В they have a common appearance.

• C they arrived in the Americas prior to the year 1500.

I) most of the Native American languages are still spoken today.

3. Why were the Americas called the 'East Indies' bv Columbus?

A It was thought that the Americas were actually part of the Indies.

В According to Columbus, the Native Americans looked like Indians from India.

C The East Indies are located in the Pacific Ocean.

I) The land and resources of the New World were verv similar to that of the Indies.

4. Why do Native Americans look so similar, vet speak so many different distinct languages?

• a They were trying to establish new societies in the New World. В Each tribe invented a new language before arriving in Alaska.

• C Migrants crossed the Bering Strait at the same time and then spread over the conti­nent.

• I) They all migrated from Asia, but at different times.

Painted Easter Eggs

Pysanka is the traditional Ukrainian Easter egg. The origin of the word pysanka comes ^ from the Ukrainian verbpysaty, which means to write or to paint. Symbols and ornaments |— are painted on an egg with melted beeswax. u

The symbol of an egg is present in many ancient cultures of the world. Easter eggs can be made of stone, metal or wood and decorated with precious stones. ^

Many rituals are associated with pysankas. The first Easter meal begins with an Easter egg. The head of the family cuts it into small pieces and gives them to each member of the <1 family with the words "Khrystos voskres" ("Christ has risen").

The patterns that pysankas are decorated with contain encoded wishes for happiness, a rich harvest, health and wealth. They are presented to people as a sign of friendship and are also used by girls to send love messages to young men.

In the Ukrainian town of Kolomyya, there is a pysanka museum, the only museum of qj this kind in Ukraine. Its collection contains more than 10,000 pysankas from every region QJ of Ukraine as well as from four foreign countries. ^

The Effects of Stress There is a famous expression in English: "Stop the world, I want to get off!" This expression refers to a feeling of panic, or stress, that makes a person want to stop whatever they are doing, try to relax, and become calm again. 'Stress' means pressure or tension. It is one of the most common causes of health problems in modern life. Too much stress results in physical, emotional, and mental health problems.

There are numerous physical effects of stress. Stress can affect the heart. It can increase the pulse rate, make the heart miss beats, and can cause high blood pressure. Stress can affect the respiratory system. It can lead to asthma. It can cause a person to breathe too fast, resulting in a loss of important carbon dioxide. Stress can also affect the stomach. It can cause stomach aches and problems digesting food. These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses and symptoms resulting from stress.

Emotions are also easily affected by stress. People suffering from stress often feel anxious. They may have panic attacks. They may feel tired all the time. When people are under stress, they often overreact to little problems. For example, a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at work may yell at a child for dropping a glass of juice. Stress can make people angry, moody, or nervous.

Long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious mental illnesses. Depression, an extreme feeling of sadness and hopelessness, can be the result of continued and increasing stress. Alcoholism and other addictions often develop as a result of overuse of alcohol or drugs to try to relieve stress. Eating disorders, such as anorexia, are sometimes caused by stress and are often made worse by stress. If stress is allowed to continue, then one's mental health is put at risk.

It is obvious that stress is a serious problem. It attacks the body. It affects the emotions. Untreated, it may eventually result in mental illness. Stress has a great influence on the health and well-being of our bodies, our feelings, and our minds. So, reduce stress: stop the world and rest for a while.

"What I was going to say," said the Dodo in an offended tone, "was, that the best thing to get us dry would be a Caucus-race."

"What is a Caucus-race?" said Alice; not that she wanted much to know, but the Dodo had paused as if it thought that somebody ought to speak, and no one else seemed inclined to say anything.

"Why," said the Dodo, "the best way to explain it is to do it." (And, as you might like to try the thing yourself, some winter day, I will tell you how the Dodo managed it.)

First it marked out a race-course, in a sort of circle, ("the exact shape doesn't matter," it said), and then all the party were placed along the course, here and there. There was no "One, two, three, and away," but they began running when they liked, and left off when they liked, so that it was not easy to know when the race was over. However, when they had been running half an hour or so, and were quite dry again, the Dodo suddenly called out, "The race is over!" and they all crowded round it, panting, and asking, "But who has won?"

This question the Dodo could not answer without a great deal of thought, and it sat for a long time with one finger pressed upon its forehead (the position in which you usually see Shakespeare, in the pictures of him), while the rest waited in silence. At last the Dodo said, "Everybody has won, and all must have prizes."

Taken from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

• B It would mean that the race had started.

• C It would mean that thev should begin flying.

• I) It would mean that the race had ended.

3. Why did the Dodo think so long before deciding who won?

• A It was trying to remember who crossed the finish line first.

• B It couldn't remember all of the rules.

I I C It put his finger on its forehead because it had a terrible headache. I) There were no rules and it was making them up as it went.
