It was just after midnight when Stephen Richards heard a strange, melodious whistle amid the patter of rain in the Papau New Guinea cloud forest. Papau New Guinea is a <[ country on the eastern half of the island of New Guinea, which lies north of Australia. i- Richards, 44, knows the terrain and its creatures well, but the sound he heard was com- щ pletelv new. "When I heard this, I knew it was going to be fantastic," he says.

Richards moved carefully through thorny vines toward the sound. After an hour of ^ searching, he found the source: a "warty brown blob¹." When he gently took hold of the blob, it bit him on the hand. "I was shocked," he says. "Frogs don't normally bite you." The ^ animal's bite along with its unique cry and strange appearance, told Richards he had dis- q covered a new species. It was an exhilarating moment. But to Richards, who is a zoologist with the South Australian Museum in Adelaide, Australia, it was also another day at work.

Richards believes he has discovered almost 100 frogs. He has managed to scientifically ^ classify and name 30. Another 70 must be studied carefully before they can be classified as QJ new species. CJ

Frogs are threatened by habitat destruction, disease, and predators². Richards believes ^ recording the amphibians is vitally important. As for the blob that bit him, Richards has not classified and named it yet. But you can bet it will have a name that fits its snappy ^L temperament. "I like a frog with attitude," he says.

Taken from ^uThe Frog Finder" by Rory Callinan, Time for Kids: World Report Edition.

From "HOLLYWOOD"

Foreigners are the best thing that ever happened to Hollywood. Some of the most cele- <1 brated directors of "American" films were not born in the United States: Billy Wilder, ГТ William Wyler, Frank Capra, Elia Kazan, Mike Nichols, Roman Polanski, John Woo, An щ Lee - all were born outside the US. Of all the Oscars given for best directing since 1929, |— 27 percent have gone to men for whom English is a foreign language; 23 percent of best- ^ picture winners were directed by a person born in a foreign country. Oddly, though, not one of those prizes has gone to a director from Mexico or South America. That is going to change. Hollywood is in the middle of a Pan-American invasion because of five visionary talents who are likely to become to the next decade what Steven Spielberg, Martin Scor- ^ sese, George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola were to the 1970's. This group of new direc- tors has come out of the art houses and into the spotlight. Mexican director Alfonso Cua- ^ ron not only wrote and directed the internationally successful film "Y Tu Mama Tambien," [J but followed it with the 2004 international smash "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Az- kaban." His countryman Guillermo del Того turned a favourite comic book, "Hellboy," ^ into a hit last spring, and Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu followed his first film, the Oscar- nominated "Amores Perros," with the acclaimed "21 Grams" starring Sean Penn.

Farther south, Brazilian Fernando Meirelles earned a best-director nomination in 2003 for his film "City of God," a film that was produced by fellow Brazilian director Walter Salles, whose film, "Central Station," earned two Oscar nominations in 1998 and whose new film, "The Motorcycle Diaries," may obtain best-picture and best-director nominations.

of directors and actors has developed from that." This generation of Mexican directors, by ^^ contrast, was the first to grow from a different kind of cultural repression.

www .filmsite.com

None of this would have happened without the major sociopolitical changes that occurred in Mexico and South America in the past 20 years. "My generation is the first generation [in South America] to be able to express itself freely," Salles says. "Until the early 1980's in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, we were living under military dictatorships, under censorship. If you have not been able to express your voice for 25 years and you finally recover it, there's a passion to express yourself that has no parallel. This generation

In the 21^st century, our need for energy is greater than it has ever been. Fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas were formed millions of years ago, and when power stations burn them to create electricity, they release harmful gases into the atmosphere. There may be enough coal to last for a few hundred years, but known oil and gas reserves will run out in less than 50 years - and then what will we do?

Many scientists suggest turning to renewable energy, which means sources of energy that will never run out. It can be produced using the wind, the sun, waves or hot springs. The wind can turn large turbines to produce electricity, while energy from the sun can be collected in panels and stored in batteries. The movement of the sea can also be changed into electrical energy by using wave machines and, in parts of the world where there is volcanic activity, hot springs can produce geothernial energy. Unlike nuclear power, these are safe sources of energy that don't pollute the environment.

Our dependence on fossil fuels has to end soon. Let's hope that by the time all the re­serves are gone, there will be enough alternative sources of efficient energy available. In the meantime, why don't we try to reduce the amount of energy that we use?

We may take it for granted, but water is the most important resource on Earth. It cov­ers 80 % of the Earth's surface and it's the only substance that can be found naturally in three forms: solid, liquid and gas. Water also makes up 66 % of the human body and with­out it we can't live for more than a week.

Although water is the most common substance on Earth, we should use it carefully be­cause only 1% is drinkable and 1/3 of all the people in the world can't get enough clean water. Today, we use 3 times more water than in 1950, and people in rich countries use 10 times more than those in poor ones. So where does it all go? Well, a single dripping tap can waste up to 7,600 litres of water in a year and a leaking toilet can waste about 260 litres in a day.

At home, we can help by fixing broken taps and toilets. Having showers instead of baths could save about 300 litres of water a week. We should also avoid using chemicals that pollute the water supply, because we can't increase the amount of fresh water in the world. We can only change the way we use it.

1. 66 % of the Earth's water is drinkable.

2. Humans can live for seven days without water.

3. People use 1/3 of the water on Earth.

4. Having baths instead of showers wastes water.

He is building a small house in the backyard for when their baby is old enough to use it as a fort or clubhouse or getaway, and he wants to have three walls up before his wife gets home. She is at her mother's house because her mother has slipped on the ice - a skating party, Christ mas-themed - and needs help with preparations for her holiday party, planned before the accident. It's snowing lightly, and the air is cold enough to see. He is working on the small house with a new drill he's bought that day. It's a portable drill, and he marvels at its efficiency. He wants to prove something to his wife, because he doesn't build tilings like this often, and she has implied that she likes it when he does build things, and when he goes biking or plays rugby in the men's league. She was impressed when he assembled a telescope, a birthday gift, in two hours, when the manual had said it would take four. So when she's gone during this day, and the air is gray and dense and the snow falls like ash, he works quickly, trying to get the foundation done. Once he's finished with the foundation, he decides that to impress her - and he wants to impress her in some way every day and wants always to want to impress her - he will need at least three walls up on the house by the time she gets home.

Small boats loaded with wares sped to the great liner as she was entering the harbour. Before she had anchored, the men from the boats had climbed on board and the decks were soon covered with colourful rugs from Persia, silks from India, copper coffee pots, and beautiful hand-made silverware. It was difficult not to be tempted. Many of the tourists on board had begun bargaining with the tradesmen, but I decided not to buy anything until I had disembarked.

I had no sooner got off the ship than I was assailed by a man who wanted to sell me a diamond ring. I had no intention of buying one, but I could not conceal the fact that I was impressed by the size of the diamonds. Some of them were as big as marbles. The man went to great lengths to prove that the diamonds were real. As we were walking past a shop, he held a diamond firmly against the window and made a deep impression in the glass. It took me over half an hour to get rid of him.

The next man to approach me was selling expensive pens and watches. I examined one of the pens closely. It certainly looked genuine. At the base of the gold cap, the words 'made in the USA' had been neatly inscribed. The man said that the pen was worth £10, but as a special favour, he would let me have it for £8. I shook my head and held up a finger indicating that I was willing to pay a pound. Gesticulating wildly, the man acted as if he found my offer outrageous, but he eventually reduced the price to £3. Shrugging my shoulders, I began to walk away when, a moment later, he ran after me and thrust the pen into my hands. Though he kept throwing up his arms in despair, he readily accepted the pound I gave him. I felt especially pleased with my wonderful bargain - until I got back to the ship. No matter how hard I tried, it was impossible to fill this beautiful pen with ink and to this day it has never written a single word!

Move over Coke (and Pepsi), there's a new player in the Cola wars. Meet OpenCola. Okay, that may be a bit of an overstatement, but the new soft drink is different from others in one key respect: It's the world's first "open-source" consumer product, writes Graham Lawton in the British magazine New Scientist (Feb. 2, 2002). While Coca-Cola and Pepsi guard their secret formulas, the makers of OpenCola give their recipe away on their Website, www.opencola.org. Not only that, they encourage people to make the stuff at home, and to modify and improve the recipe at will. There's one caveat¹: The modified formulas must also be freely available to the public. Why? Because as the open-source argument goes, if you let your customer play with the formula for your product, whether it's software code or a soft drink recipe, they'll find and fix flaws. And they will do it quicker and cheaper, and think up more creative improvements, than you ever could on your own, even with a huge R&D (Research and Development) budget and a team of engineers. In the end, every­body benefits from better software or better cola, as the case may be.

In the late summer of that year we lived in a house in a village that looked across the river and the plain to the mountains. In the bed of the river there were pebbles¹ and boulders², dry and white in the sun, and the water was clear and swiftly moving and blue in the channels. Troops went by the house and down the road and the dust they raised powdered the leaves of the trees. The trunks of the trees too were dusty and the leaves fell early that year. We saw the troops³ marching along the road and the dust⁴ rising and leaves, stirred by the breeze, falling and the soldiers marching and afterward the road bare and white except for the leaves.

The plain was rich with crops; there were many orchards of fruit trees and beyond the plain the mountains were brown and bare. There was fighting in the mountains and at night we could see the flashes from the artillery. In the dark it was like summer lightning, but the nights were cool and there was not the feeling of a storm coming.

Once there were four children whose names were Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy. This story is about something that happened to them when they were sent away from London during the war because of the air-raids¹. They were sent to the house of an old Professor who lived in the heart of the country, ten miles from the nearest railway station and two miles from the nearest post office. He had no wife and he lived in a very large house with a housekeeper called Mrs. Mac ready and three servants. (Their names were Ivy, Margaret and Betty, but they do not come into the story much.) He himself was a very old man with shaggy² white hair which grew over most of his face as well as on his head, and they liked him almost at once; but on the first evening when he came out to meet them at the front door he was so odd-looking that Lucy (who was the youngest) was a little afraid of him, and Edmund (who was the next youngest) wanted to laugh and had to keep on pretending he was blowing his nose to hide it.

Read the text and decide if the statements are T (True) or F (False).

If I were seventeen again, I would want to live on a Kentucky hill farm. I would want to grow up and live where there are trees, meadows, and streams.

If I couldn't live on a large farm, a few acres would do. But I would want space to hunt over, and a stream or lake nearby where I could fish. I would want to mow the meadows with a span of horses or mules, and haul the hay to the barn on a hay wagon. I believe the boy or girl who hasn't ridden on a hay wagon has missed something in his youth. If he hasn't smelled new-mown clover, he has missed the finest wind a youth ever breathed.

In the spring of the year, if I were seventeen again, I'd want to take long walks into the woods. I'd want to get acquainted with all kinds of birds, how they build their nests and the kind of materials they use, what colour and size eggs they lay - from the hoot owl to the chicken hawk and sparrow - and how and what they feed their young. I'd want to know all about the animals. I would want to know and I would find out what they ate, where they lived, what animals were friendly with each other and which were enemies. This is a world every teenage boy should know. I've never seen one yet who didn't love the animal world. And I would protect each non-destructive animal, each non-destructive bird. I would want to know the hunting laws, abide¹ by them, and help restock² and protect the game so it would be here for the next seven teen-vear-old when he came along.

Strolling amid the crowds of fashionably dressed people mostly under thirty out for a Saturday night in Seoul, South Korea, I chanced upon a busy outdoor market where side­walk vendours had set up long tables piled high with CDs. A boombox¹ was blasting out the latest Korean rock. One song caught my ear and I decided on the spot to buy the CD as a present for my twenty-year-old American son. Back in New York, when I presented it to him, he stared suspiciously at the Korean-language titles on the label and asked, "What's this? Some kind of Korean folk music?"

"No, it's rock," I told him. "Korean rock. It's by Cool, the number one selling band in South Korea." He was shocked, "I knew Koreans listened to American rock and British rock," he said. "I guess I just didn't think their own bands would sell more than the Western imports."

Guess again. Not only do Korean kids prefer their own rockers, but so do Japanese kids, Chinese kids, Russian kids and Egyptian kids. While rock is certainly an American invention, and a big-selling import in many world markets, local music is still what the masses are buying most of.

Chalk that encounter up to the BJ&M syndrome - that's blue jeans and McDonald's. Sufferers from BJ&M syndrome seem to believe that because many people all over the world like rock and roll, blue jeans, fast food and American films, they are equally enamou­red of American values and ideas about how the world works.

Wrong.

The people of <( the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten i— o'clock; in some towns there were so many people that the lottery took two days and had to J^j

The children assembled first, of course. School was recently over for the summer, and ^ the feeling of liberty sat uneasily on most of them; they tended to gather together quietly q for a while before they broke into boisterous play, and their talk was still of the classroom and teacher, of books and reprimands.

Soon the men began to gather, surveying their own children, speaking of planting and rain, tractors and taxes. They stood together, away from the pile of stones in the corner, QJ and their jokes were quiet and they smiled rather than laughed. The women, wearing faded house dresses and sweaters, came shortly after their menfolk. They greeted one another ^ and exchanged bits of gossip as they went to join their husbands.

John Miiir commented that every time he saw a grizzly bear the wilderness got bigger. Others faced with such an encounter might readily agree with the Scottish-born American naturalist who explored large parts of the western United States. Yet today's predators are smaller than those of the past, and the reason seems to have something to do with the speed of their prey.

Large predators gain tremendous benefits from being big. Killing other animals and protecting or stealing a carcass from others tends to be easier since their teeth and claws are larger. Handling struggling prey is safer as the larger predator has less trouble holding the prey firmly and preventing it from striking out at the hunter's vital organs. These attributes were even more important in the past since life was tougher for predators then.

A new study, however, reveals that excessive size can interfere with predators' hunting. Daniel MacNulty of the University of Minnesota and his colleagues have found that for predators which need to run after their prey, being big can be more of a hindrance than a help. Using a combination of radio-tags and direct observations, the researchers analysed ninety-four wolves as they hunted elk in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. They made a detailed record of their hunting and kills between 1995 and 2003. The researchers reported in the Journal of Animal Ecology that although on the whole big animals are indeed better at handling and killing prey, the largest wolves struggled in the chase.

New York is an invisible city, a chameleon hiding' in plain sight, a place no two people experience in quite the same way. Despite this, it is - like all great cities - constantly be­ing explored, examined, and explained.

But New York moves too fast to be easily understood, vibrating at a pace that makes capturing a perfect image almost impossible. Just when you think you understand it, the city dances away, changed. New immigrants pour across the bridges, transforming entire neighbourhoods in the blink of an eye. Rents go up, buildings come down, and stable businesses disappear only to be replaced by new industries that were unimaginable just a few months earlier.

But even more powerful than the changes wrought by time are the changes wrought by place, by ethnicity, by character. New York is a vision embraced by many people, each per­sonal, each unlike any other. Which New York you see depends on who you are and where you live: My New York is not, and never will be, yours.

But while we may not be able to live in all of these intersecting cities, visiting them is definitely possible. What we have tried to do in this issue is to look at the multiple New Yorks that coexist, side by side, almost invisible to outsiders.

• a that people should live in all of the interesting parts of New York City

• В that New York is very fast paced

3. What two things are described as constantly changing?

• a population and industry

• В industry and location

• C neighbourhoods and location

• I) bridges and population

3. Outsiders are...

• a welcome to live in different parts of New York.

• В often unable to view the different images of the city. I I C constantly contributing to the city's changes.

I) an important part of New York's many identities.

How green are you? Being green used to mean that you were young and inexperienced. Now people who call themselves 'green¹ seem to think that they know better than the rest of us. But just how wise are these new 'greens'? How well do their ideas work in practice?

Take the example of what happened this week to Donna Challice, mother of three, from Exeter. She was actually taken to court by her local council for not recycling her rubbish. She was charged with putting food in the green recycling bin which is intended for cans, paper, plastic and glass. She faced a fine of up to 1,000 pounds and the court case cost much more than that. What a waste of the court's time and money. The reality is that recycling household rubbish is a waste of all our time. It takes hours and makes very little difference to the planet. Only 5 % of our waste is made up of household rubbish, while a massive 60 % is agricultural and industrial. Why doesn't the council do something about that first!

And it isn't only local government that is anxious to be green. We are surrounded by green thinkers. Have those people who refuse to accept nuclear energy thought about what renewable energy means? They say that 20 % of our energy has to come from renewable sources such as wind and solar power. Can you imagine what our countryside will look like? There will be forests of giant wind turbines and nothing in the fields except rape seed oil to make bio-fuel. There is no real alternative to using more nuclear energy, so why don't we focus on building new safer nuclear plants? You have to be green, in the old sense of the word, to think that these ideas are a step forward. What a load of rubbish!

In 1999, Tuvalu, with its population of 11,000, was the third poorest state in the world. J But suddenly salvation was found, and from an extremely unlikely direction. Tuvalu received a domain name on the Internet, which was none other than the letters ".tv". A communica­tion company from California was quick to get in touch - buying the domain for the bargain LU price of $40m. For the Tuvalans, with an average annual income of about $1,000, this was a life-changing sum. The islanders became, or at least reacted as if they had become, very rich. ^ This sudden wealth was accompanied by a firm forecast of doom. Due to global warm- ^ ing, and because the islands are only 3 metres above sea level, Tuvalu is likely to be the Q] first state in the world to be submerged by rising water levels. According to scientific Q estimates, the islands will be severely flooded within the next 15-20 years, and by the end ^ of the century, the islands will have disappeared from sight altogether. ^

As the water rises, the Tuvalans are using the money to develop the land that is soon to disappear. Buildings are being raised, nightclubs, restaurants and hotels are being planned

□

and built, and newly bought cars are cruising on newly laid roads. Of the $40m raised by the Internet deal, $10m was used to asphalt the islands' 19 km of roads. Before 1999 there C were four cars on the islands. The Tuvalans used to walk or cycle everywhere. The minister ^ for natural resources, who was in charge of paving the roads, owns one of the two petrol stations on the main island. ffl

The motor revolution accompanied a wave of other imported foods and goods and soon <i had unexpected consequences. Many Tuvalans, having given up their daily exercise, were ^ introduced to obesity, high blood pressure and diabetes. Others discovered that the main- Q_ tenance of their vehicles was far beyond their means, and that the luxury itself is hardly LU necessary in a state that is just 26 sq km. A huge area at the centre of the tropical paradise Cl is now covered with abandoned cars and other rubbish.

"When I visit London one of my favourite thing's to do is shopping! I really enjoy hunting around for interesting things in the sales, buying something new to wear out on <[ a Saturday night. Or a bit of window-shopping - it doesn't cost a penny. Sometimes I'll H spend hours just walking around a market having a chat with my friends. jyj

There are lots of different places to go shopping in London. If you're looking for 'high |

street' shops - the kind of shops you will find in most towns, you can go to Oxford Street, ^ but it gets too busy sometimes; it can be difficult to get anywhere! For a less crowded, more relaxing shopping experience, go to Covent Garden - you can have an expensive cappuc- cino, and watch some (free) street theatre at the same time.

Some people like shopping in department stores. The most famous one in London is 'Harrods' in Knightsbridge, but for me, it's not modern enough, and too expensive, the sort of place your parents do their shopping. The best of all the big department stores is ^ 'Selfridges' in Oxford Street, it's a shoppers' paradise, nice clothes but very high prices. QJ Well I can look, can't I? CJ

For the 'day out walking around a market' experience, try 'Camden'. It's exciting, ^ fashionable, and there are lots of lovely things at attractive prices! You can buy cheap jeans and cool second hand clothes in the morning and then get a tattoo and a body piercing ^L later on! If all that shopping is too tiring, you can get some Chinese or Thai food for £2 or 3,

sit by the canal and relax. What could be better?

If you think you need to experience more of London's 'culture', you might prefer a trip to V Greenwich. This is a much more relaxing day out. You can have a walk round the market and ^ shops, and then take in a bit of London's history - it was the birthplace of Henry VIII, Queen Mary and Elizabeth I. There's also the park, the 'Cutty Sark' (an old ship that was used for ^ transporting tea), and the old observatory... so much to do, but don't forget the shopping!"

Education is an important issue for many people in the UK as well as around the world. In most countries pupils who attend secondary schools take an exam to get a school leaving certificate. One particular worry is why boys are doing so badly. Some twenty years ago, exam scores of girls and boys in a class were compared. Boys got better results in exams, so various steps were taken to improve the results of girls, including having girl-only classes. Now, the situation is reversed, with girls getting better scores than boys.

So, what has gone wrong with boys, and what can be done about it? John Dunsford, leader of the Association of Head Teachers in Secondary Schools, says that the fact that boys do not achieve much academically has its roots in society rather than the classroom. Girls, more than boys, see education as a passport to a good job. On the other hand, accor­ding to Penny Lewis, a headteacher, young men are not confident enough and are often uncertain about their place in a society. Some boys grow up in families where there is no father, which means no male role model to follow.

Moreover, boys learn in a different way to girls, preferring small amounts of work with short deadlines rather than large projects extended in time. And education is not seen as 'cool'. In a study by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development and UNESCO, girls did better than boys at reading at the age of 15 in all 45 countries. The UK took the ninth place among the 45 countries in reading skills, although pupils in the UK spend less time reading than in most other countries. Interestingly, the study suggested that British children read for pleasure more often than those in other countries.

The RSPCA (the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) has appealed to find homes for 269 animals the charity found packed into a three-bedroom home.

Following* anonymous information about a middle-aged couple living in Carnforth, Lancashire, officials raided their home last month. They rescued 244 dogs, 16 parrots, 7 cats, a rabbit and a chinchilla in the RSPCA's largest-ever operation to free illegally kept animals. The animals were taken to shelters across the country, where they have been health checked, microchipped and made ready for new homes. The charity has set up a special hotline - 08705 900950 - for people interested in adopting one of the animals. Lines will be open 24 hours and will remain open until homes have been found for all the rescued animals.

One of the RSPCA's directors, Dominic Rudd, said: "These animals have come into our care through no fault of their own and we will do all we can to match them with suitable owners so they can go on to enjoy happy lives." Among the dogs rescued were shih-tzus, dachshunds, lhasa apsos, bearded collies, corgis and Yorkshire terriers. The birds inclu­ded a macaw, Amazonian parrot and an African Grey.

Adapted from: www.guardian.co.uk, October 7, 2003

1. The animals were taken away by the RSPCA because they were ill and hungry.

2. An unknown person informed the RSPCA about where the animals lived.

Climbers on Alpine Ridge Rescued by Text Message Two British climbers who were stranded on a Swiss mountain in a blizzard for three days were rescued by helicopter yesterday after t ex ting a SOS message from a mobile phone to a friend in London. Rachel Kelsey, 34, and her partner, Jeremy Colenso, 33, were lifted to safety from a snowy ridge by a mountain rescue team after surviving two nights in sub-zero temperatures with little food or shelter.

The pair, who are both experienced climbers, had been huddled behind a large rock on a granite ledge since Saturday after bad weather closed in as they descended from the sum­mit of Piz Badile in the Swiss Alps. As half a metre of snow fell around them and a fierce electric storm began, their descent had become impossible and they were forced to stop 3,000 metres up and wait until the weather improved or help could be called.

The alarm was raised by a London-based freelance photographer, Avery Cunliffe, after he received a desperate text message from his friends at 5 am on Saturday morning asking for help and providing details of their whereabouts. Mr Cunliffe, also a keen climber, immediately contacted the rescue services in Geneva but bad weather prevented them from reaching the stranded couple until 8.15 am yesterday.

Ms Kelsey, who was born in South Africa, said she and Mr Colenso had prepared care­fully for the expedition, which was supposed to have taken around 18 hours. "We had checked the weather forecast for a week before we set out and checked it again at the base. It was very good. Unfortunately a severe storm came in out of nowhere as we were coming down from the top. It was a huge electric storm - like nothing I have ever seen. We had a lightweight shelter for protection and we dug away the snow for a bit more cover. I texted five friends who I thought would be able to get in touch with the Swiss mountain rescue that was about 1.30 am in the morning. Then, about four hours later, Avery texted me back saying: 'I'm on the case\"

Body Sufferers Ageing Symptoms with Too Little Sleep Sacrificing sleep to longer working hours and nights on the town could bring about changes in the body similar to ageing, according to new medical research.

(1) Although the study was small - 11 young men aged between 18 and 27 took

part - it found "striking changes" in the way their bodies functioned.

The scientists suggest that chronic sleep loss could increase the severity of age-related

diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure. (2) Their volunteers biologically

performed better when they had slept for more than eight hours. Scientists from the de­partment of medicine at the university of Chicago notice that it has become common for

people to cut back on their sleep. (3) Many shift workers sleep an average of five hours

a night on working days. The 11 young men slept eight hours a night for three nights, then four hours for six nights and then spent 12 hours a night in bed for a further week to re­cover from the sleep debt. (4) "Less than one week of sleep curtailment in healthy young

people is associated with striking changes in metabolic and hormonal function," the scien­tists say. Sleep debt "could have long-term negative effects on health. We suspect that chronic sleep loss may not only speed up the onset but could also increase the severity of age-related diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity and memory loss."

All these abnormalities faded away when the volunteers spent 12 hours in bed.

Adapted from: The Guardian. October 22,1999

A What is considered as normal average sleep duration has decreased from about nine hours a night in 1910 to about 7.5 hours now.

B A study of the effects on the body of the sort of sleep-debt that is increasingly common at the end of the 20^th century has had startling results.

C However, most of the volunteers enjoyed participating in the research and did not com­plain.

I) The six nights of little sleep had a noticeable effect on their bodies.

E They also suggest that young, healthy adults may need more than the standard night's sleep.

The Great British Christmas To get your curiosity going' about Christmas all around the mainland, the Islands and

Highlands of the British Isles, here are a few tidbits:

A In the North of England up to the middle of the 20^th century, it was common to find a dish of 'Mugga' on the Christmas Eve table. This is a kind of wheaten porridge, sweetened with honey, which was originally eaten before the main meal, and also throughout Advent, which is the month leading up to Christmas. It was a remnant left over from Viking times. But it turns up in similar forms all over Europe. In Poland, for example, they have 'Kutia* which is a cereal dish made from kibbled wheat, fermented overnight in milk, sweetened with honey and spiced.

В In Scotland they have 'Athol Brose⁴ which is made from oats; it also has whisky in it and is served as a drink! But I have come across several old recipes which are just an alcohol-free gruel. Such dishes were a very practical stomach liner after a long fast and before the feasting began.

C In Shetland they play the game of 'Ba' which is a kind of street football-cum-rugbv. The present custom began in the middle of the 19^th century, but in the medieval times street football was a traditional Christmas Day game especially for apprentices. Banned by Cromwell in the 17^th century, the apprentices in Canterbury rioted in protest.

I) In Wales there are many customs which are remnants of early Christian and even ear­lier Roman occupation. The 'Calennig' is an apple on three twig legs, stuck with al­monds or cloves or other spiky things such as thorns. It has a sprig of evergreen at the top, and is offered to householders by carolling children, in return for a small gift of cakes, money or, more often, sweets. In Roman times, a gift such as this was given at New Year in honour of the goddess Strenia, to bestow good fortune.

0. A meal is eaten for about a month before Christmas in this part of Britain.

1. Roman times have left a mark on the present day customs of this country.

2. A game used to be played by people who were learning a trade.

3. Versions of a meal in this country could either be drunk or eaten.

4. The food eaten here has equivalents in other countries in Europe.

5. Those who go around singing Christmas songs offer some decorated fruit to the owners of the houses in this part of Britain.

6. They do not sweeten their typical Christmas dish with sugar in this country.

7. Playing in the street has not always been allowed in this country.

8. Good luck was thought to be brought by a gift.

Cell Mania

Walk down the hallway of any high school and you see them everywhere. Flip through a teen magazine or watch a prime time television show and you can't miss advertisements telling us to buy one. I'm talking about cell phones¹, of course. These gadgets are taking the world by storm and re-inventing the way teens communicate.

Stephanie Binder, 16, says her parents pay the phone bill and that she has unlimited time on weekends, so she seems to never stop talking. For others, cell phones make it easier to get in contact with friends. "On Friday nights, when you're trying to plan things with your friends, cells make it all so much easier," says Micki Barram, 18.

Why have cell phones become so popular for teens? Joe Penn, 17, has a theory to explain why cell phones hold so much attraction for young people. "They've kind of replaced ciga­rettes," he says. "They make you seem older, more like an adult." According to Penn, teens want to look successful and grown up. Having a cell phone is a big part of that image. And as anyone in marketing will tell you, phone holders and trendy bags with cell phone pockets are must-haves among young people. The high-tech materials and bright colours they are made of have a certain cool factor for teens. According to Barram, girls especially like the stylish look of cells. "For us it's more of an accessory, like a watch or an earring," she says.

But not all young people are caught up in cell mania. David Goodtree, 15, is strictly against owning one. "Cell phones totally dominate people's lives," he says. "Most of my classmates have them on all the time, even when they're not supposed to, like during classes and in cinemas. It's very irritating," Goodtree adds, shaking his head.

Many parents are only too happy to pay for the newest cell phone model for their kids because it means they can always check up on where their children are. "Where are the kids?" is a question no mum ever needs to ask when she can just dial a number to find out. In fact, whole families are now becoming "wired".

CVJ 6. It's OK to use cell phones...

s: □ A at school. □ B in the cinema. □ c at home.

CVI 7. Parents often use cell phones because...

• A they can find out where their children are.

• B they like the sfylish models, too. ^ lie they are not so expensive.

Read the texts given below. Decide if the sentences (1-5) are T (True) or F (False), according to what the text says.

United Kingdom

The area around the famous 4,000-year-old monument of Stonehenge comes alive on the morning* of the summer solstice, as thousands of people come to watch the sun rise over Salisbury Plain. People dance around the standing stones all night until the light of the rising sun touches the monument's stones, then loud cheers ring out.

Sweden

In Sweden, the summer solstice is an important festival. In the north, during the sum­mer months, the sun does not set at all! There is daylight 24 hours a day! At Midsummer, many people leave their city dwellings to go into the countryside and commune with na­ture. They light bonfires and there is lots of singing and dancing around a midsummer pole. People decorate their homes with flowers and birch branches. Girls go to the fields to gather seven different kinds of wild flowers and grasses. They believe that if they sleep with these tucked under their pillow, they will dream of their future husband.

Poland

In Poland, especially in the Eastern Pomeranian and Kashubian regions of northern Poland, Midsummer is celebrated on June 23^rd. People dress like dangerous sea pirates, and girls throw wreaths made of flowers into the Baltic Sea. The Midsummer Day celebra­tion starts at about 8 pm and lasts all night until sunrise.

Estonia

Estonians celebrate "Jaaniohtu" ("John's Night" in English) with bonfires on the eve of the summer solstice. On the islands of Saaremaa and Hiiumaa, old fishing boats may be burnt. On Jaaniohtu, Estonians all around the country will gather with their families, or at larger events, to celebrate this important day with singing and dancing as Estonians have done for centuries. The celebrations that accompany Jaaniohtu are the largest and most important of the year.

1. The summer solstice is the shortest day of the year.

2. In Sweden, girls put birch twigs under their pillows.

3. At Stonehenge, people don't sleep the night before the summer solstice.

4. In some parts of Estonia, they burn houses.

5. In Poland, girls throw flowers into the sea.

Tigers

0. B

The largest of the cats is the tiger. It is as strong and aggressive as it is big. The tiger's coat is often a bright golden colour. It has black stripes on the head, body, limbs, and tail. Stripes like these are sometimes found on the domestic cat, or house cat, which is a distant relative of the tiger.

1. )

They are different mainly in the colour of their coats, but their skeletons are almost the same. Zoologists recognise the tiger skull by the higher setting of the nasal bones. The two species are similar in hunting habits, though tigers usually do not hunt in pairs as lions often do.

(2)

(5)

They range from Iran to the Sea of Okhotsk in eastern Siberia and from this northeast­ern limit southward to Malaysia and the Indian peninsula. A smaller variety is found on Sumatra, Java, and Bali. Tigers are not native to any other continent.

(3)

This is the Royal Bengal found in the Indian peninsula. An adult male weighs as much as 500 pounds (230 kilograms) and may be 10 feet (3 metres) long, including the 3-foot (1-metre) tail.

(4)

Unlike most members of the cat family, tigers are good swimmers. They cross rivers easily to hunt down animals. Occasionally, to run away from a flood or some other seri­ous danger, they even climb trees.

Tiger kittens number from two to five at a time and they grow for about 100 days in­side their mother's body. Unfortunately, not more than two usually survive the birth. After they are born they stay with their mother until their third year.

(6)

Tigers do not naturally attack people, but a few become man-eaters when they lose the ability to kill faster animals. Broken teeth, broken claws, or being too weak in general can make an old tiger into a man-eater. Hunters in India report that one tiger killed 127 people in 1973.

Dear Sir,

I am writing to tell you about an experience I had while shopping in Bristol last Saturday. I wanted to do my Christmas shopping so I drove into the City Centre. My first problem was finding somewhere to park. The Galleries car park was full so I went to the Old Market multi-storey car park. The sign said there were 23 spaces free so I drove in. I drove around for twenty minutes but couldn't find a space. As I left the attendant told me that I had to pay the minimum parking charge of £1. I told him that I hadn't actually parked but he threatened to call the police so I paid.

I finally found a space in the Galleries and left to do my shopping. I had just finished when it started raining. By the time I got back to the car both my shopping and I were completely soaked. I got into my car and drove out. At the exit, I put my electronic ticket in the machine and it told me that the ticket was damaged and I had to pay the maximum charge of £15. (The ticket was in my back pocket and got slightly damp in the rain.)

Overall, I spent one and a half hours and £16 trying to park last Saturday. In January, for the sales, I'm going to go to the new out of town shopping centre where parking is free and the car parks are never full. I wanted to support city centre shopping but not at the cost of two or three extra Christmas presents for my grandchildren. Yours,

Geoff rev Williams Kingsdown

This holiday is celebrated in June. It is the official birthday of the Queen, when there is a military parade. Every regiment has its own flag (flag = colour) and each year a different regiment's colour is paraded in front of the soldiers.

(2)

On the Thursday before Easter people in Britain collect money for the old.

(3)

Every autumn in October or November, the Queen travels to the Houses of Parliament in the Irish State Coach and delivers her speech in the House of Lords.

(4)

On November 5, 1605 a group of Catholics wanted to blow up the House of Lords. They put 36 barrels of gunpowder in the cellars of the building. They were discovered, ar­rested and hanged. People celebrate the fact that the plot failed by going on torchlight processions, burning the "guy" and making a huge bonfire.

(5)

This is a festival celebrated on October 31^st. The name of the holiday means holy eve­ning because it happens the day before All Saints Day. Children go around in the neigh­bourhood dressed up as witches, ghosts or skeletons and say 'trick or treat* and get sweets, chocolate, fruit or money. The traditional colours of this festival are orange and black. People put carved pumpkins in front of their doors.
