2. For many years now, mail-order
shopping has served the needs of a certain kind of customers. Everything they
order from a catalogue is delivered to their door. Now, though, e-mail
shopping on the Internet has opened up even more opportunities for this kind
of shopping. |
|
3. Another generation of computer
fans has arrived. They are neither spotty schoolchildren nor intellectual
professors, but pensioners who are learning computing with much enthusiasm.
It is particularly interesting for people suffering from arthritis as
computers offer a way of writing nice clear letters. Now pensioners have
discovered the Internet and at the moment they make up the fastest growing
membership. |
|
4. Shopping centres are full of all kinds
of stores. They are like small, self-contained towns where you can find
everything you want. In a large centre, shoppers can find everything they
need without having to go anywhere else. They can leave their cars in the
shopping centre car park and buy everything in a covered complex, protected
from the heat, cold or rain. |
|
5. Not many people know that, back in
the fifties, computers were very big, and also very slow. They took up
complete floors of a building, and were less powerful, and much slower than
any of today’s compact portable computers. At first, the data they had to
process and record was fed in on punched-out paper; later magnetic tape was
used, but both systems were completely inconvenient. |
|
6. Potholing is a dull name for a most
interesting and adventurous sport. Deep underground, on the tracks of
primitive men and strange animals who have adapted to life without light,
finding unusual landscapes and underground lakes, the potholer lives an
exciting adventure. You mustn’t forget, though, that it can be quite
dangerous. Without the proper equipment you can fall, get injured or lost. |

Before
the Hubble Space Telescope was launched, scientists thought they knew the
universe. They were wrong. The Hubble Space Telescope has
changed many scientists’ view of the universe. The telescope is named after
American astronomer Edwin Hubble, 1 _______________________. He
established that many galaxies exist and developed the first system for their
classifications. In many ways, Hubble is like any
other telescope. It simply gathers light. It is roughly the size of a large
school bus. What makes Hubble special is not what it is, 2
_______________________. Hubble was launched in 1990 from
the “Discovery” space shuttle and it is about It is far
from the glare of city lights, it doesn’t have to look through the air, 4 _______________________.
And what
a view it is! Hubble is so powerful it could spot a fly on the moon. Yet in an average orbit, it uses the
same amount of energy as 28 100-watt light bulbs. Hubble pictures require no
film. The telescope takes digital images 5
_______________________. Hubble
has snapped photos of storms on Saturn and exploding stars. Hubble doesn’t
just focus on our solar system. It also peers into our galaxy and beyond.
Many Hubble photos show the stars that make up the Milky Way galaxy. A galaxy
is a city of stars. Hubble cannot take pictures of the
sun or other very bright objects, because doing so could “fry” the
telescope’s instruments, but it can detect infrared and ultra violet light 6

the sights of our solar system that Hubble has glimpsed may even change the
number of planets in it. |

Sometimes my father scares me. He can tackle
something he knows nothing about, and nine times out of ten, it will come out
all right. It’s pure luck, of course, but try convincing him. “Frame of Mind,”
he says. “Just believe you can do a thing, and you’ll do it.” “Anything?” I
asked. “Some day your luck will run out. Then see what good your Frame of Mind
will do,” I said.
Believe me, I am not just being a
smart alec. It so happens that I have actually tried Frame of Mind myself. The
first time was the year I went all out to pass the civics final. I had to go
all out, on account of I had not cracked a book all year. I really crammed,
and all the time I was cramming I was concentrating on Frame of Mind. Just
believe you can do a thing – sure. I made the lowest score in the history of
Franklin High. “Thirty-three percent,” I said, showing my father the report
card. “There’s your Frame of Mind for you.” He put it on the table without
looking at it. “You have to reach a certain age and understanding,” he explained.
“That’s the key to Frame of Mind.” “Yeah? What does a guy do in the meantime?”
“Maybe you should study. Some kids learn a lot that way.”
That was my first experience with
Frame of Mind. My latest one was for a promotion at the Austin Clothing Store.
Jim Watson had a slightly better sales record and was more knowledgeable and
skillful. Me, I had Frame of Mind. Jim Watson got the job. Did this convince my
father? It did not. To convince him, something had to happen. To him, I mean.
Something did happen, too, at the Austin Clothing Store. My father works there,
too. What happened was that Mr Austin paid good money for a clever Easter
window display. It’s all set up and we’re about to draw the curtain when we
discover the display lights won’t work. I can see Mr Austin growing pale. He is
thinking of the customers that could go right by his store in the time it will
take him to get hold of an electrician.
This is when my father comes on the scene. “Is
something the matter?” he says. “Oh, hello, Louis,” Mr Austin says. He calls my
father “Louis.” Me, Joe Conklin – one of his best salesmen – he hardly knows.
My father, a stock clerk, he calls “Louis.” Life isn’t always fair. “These
darned lights won’t work.” “H’mm, I see,” my father says. “Maybe I can be of service.”
From inside his pocket comes a screwdriver. Mr Austin looks at him. “Can you
help us, Louis?” “No, he cannot,” I volunteer. “You think he’s Thomas Edison?”
I don’t intend to say that. It just slips out. “Young man, I was addressing
your father,” Mr Austin says, giving me a cold hard look. My father touches
something with his screwdriver and the display lights go on.
What happened next was that the big safe in Mr
Austin’s office got jammed shut with all our paychecks in it. From nowhere comes
my father. “Is something the matter?” he says. “The safe, Louis,” Mr Austin is
saying. “It
won’t open, I was going to send for you.” “H’mm, I see,” my father says. “Can
you help us, Louis?” Mr Austin inquires. I start to say he cannot, but I stop myself.
If my father wants to be a clown, that’s his business. “What is the combination
of this safe?” my father says. Mr Austin whispers the combination in my
father’s ear. Armed with the combination, he starts twirling the knob. I can’t
believe it: grown men and women standing hypnotized, expecting that safe door
to open. And while they stand there, the safe door opens.
“Go ahead, say it was luck, my opening the safe
today,” my father says. “OK,” I reply. Then I tell him what I saw in the faces
of those people in Mr Austin’s office: confidence and trust and respect. “The
key to Frame of Mind is you have to use it to give support to those who need it
when there’s no one else to save the situation. Otherwise it will not work.”

Task 2 (3-4 minutes)
You are discussing what special event to
organize during the Arts Week. These are your ideas about each option:
|
|
+ |
- |
|
A picture exhibition |
- I
think everyone likes to draw since her/his childhood. So this idea may appeal
to our friends. |
- I
don’t really like this idea. It seems childish to me. - It
takes a lot of time first to collect the pictures then to place them on the
wall. |
|
A musical |
- We
could perform a piece from a famous musical. They are very popular now. |
- The
idea is not bad, but it requires many people to be involved, plus time to
rehearse, to practice music, to design costumes. |

Speaker 1
On my arrival in Tokyo, I spent a night in a
traditional Japanese hotel. It was a terrible experience. My window opened onto
the narrow dirty street, which lay between two buildings. The opposite building
was so close that I could touch it. I looked out of the window and saw the sky,
which was as grey as the building in front of me.
Speaker 2
We stayed at the Bay
Island hotel, which was a pleasure, as it faced the sea. The colour of the sea
was blue, a colour that I had not seen in any of the beaches in India. It was
calm and beautiful. I was happy about the fact that we were going to spend 10
days in such a beautiful place. All we had to do was sit in the open
restaurant, look at the sea, enjoy the cool breeze and feel good.
Speaker 3
During my trips I had to sleep in hotels,
hostels, at Bed and Breakfasts and at friends'. Staying at your friends’ is the
best thing to my mind, but if you don't have any friends who are willing to
give you a bed for the night, you should go for Bed and Breakfast's. Those
which I visited had nice rooms and very friendly hosts who were very proud of
their home town.
Speaker 4
We landed in Guatemala City at 10 p.m. I went through
customs and hoped to see someone from the nearby hotel. I had booked my first
night there. But nobody was meeting me. I didn’t know the way to the hotel, so I
got general directions about how to get there from a policeman. It was about
Speaker 5
On my arrival in
Japan one of my friends took me to a performance of Japanese classical dance
and music. My attention was taken more by the evening audience than by what was
going on on the stage. It was very strange that there were almost no men at the
concert. Later I found out that Japanese
women, even if they are married, usually go out by themselves, or with their
female friends. It is the norm here.
Speaker 6
I can say that staying in hotels in Hong Kong
as well as shopping costs a lot. However, visitors can have a wonderful time
and they don’t necessarily have to spend a lot of money. I always stay at a
youth hostel, which is much cheaper than staying at a hotel. I have my meals
either at a fast food restaurant or cook breakfast myself at the hostel. One of
my favourite experiences in Hong Kong was taking a noisy tram back to the
hostel from the horse races at night.

Alex: So, how was your weekend then? Did you do
anything interesting?
Betsy: No, not really, but it was nice to have some
hot weather for a change.
Alex: Yeah, it was great, wasn’t it? Were you out
much then?
Betsy: I went to the beach on Saturday with some
friends. We went scuba diving just off the coast. My friend’s dad is an
instructor at a diving club and he lent us all the diving equipment free of
charge. We did a bit of sunbathing after that to warm up, because the temperature
of the water was quite low. So what did you do then?
Alex: I had to work on Saturday. I’ve got a Saturday
job stacking shelves in the local supermarket. I was absolutely shattered at
the end of the shift, which finished after nine o’clock at night.
Betsy: That’s late. I hope the pay’s good, if you
have to work that late.
Alex: The pay’s not too bad and there are quite a
few perks with the job. I get a twenty per cent discount for instance, on every
purchase I make. So I don’t mind working late once a week. There was still time
to do something after work, though. I went to Tony’s birthday party afterwards.
Nearly everybody from our class was there. Why didn’t you come then?
Betsy: Well I was planning to, but we decided to
stay late on the beach and have a barbecue. It was great. We also played some
really good music. Yes, we all had a good time and stayed there quite late. I
didn’t get home till past midnight in fact.
Alex: Yes, the party went on quite late as well. A
lot of people just stayed overnight, but I went home at about two in the
morning. I had to get up quite early on Sunday, because my grandparents were
coming round for lunch. And what did you do on Sunday? Anything special?
Betsy: No, not really. I got up quite late and just
sat around for a couple of hours reading the Sunday papers. It was good to just
stretch out on the sofa and read in peace and quiet. I had to do some work on
my geography project then. That took a couple of hours and then I had a few
friends round and we just sat and chatted and listened to music. I was pretty
tired after the party on Saturday night.

Now we are ready to
start.
Recently I’ve got my
pilot’s license for a single engine aircraft. I got interested in flying a
plane because of … You see our chemistry teacher in high school was also an
instructor. He was completely fanatical about aircrafts. He knew that my father
had a plane, just the one he had always wanted to have. It was a good plane!
Strangely, my father had never suggested that I go on an aviation science. I
guess I would have never learnt to fly a plane but for my teacher. Thanks to
him I went to the local airport. There I took a discovery flight for 20
dollars. The day was beautiful, the sky was clear when we did it. The
instructors were nice. They fly you around and when you’re in the air they let
you actually handle the plane. For a minute or two I was controlling the aircraft, which was great! Unfortunately, my
dad had never allowed me to handle his plane. So I signed up right away to be
on my track to getting my license. They said it’d take about a year or a little
more, for some people it takes a lot longer to get their license. There’s a
minimum of fifty-five hours of flight time. You have to fly at night, to do
solo time and all that stuff. So I started off and I was doing pretty well. I
enjoyed the course immensely.
Time flies. It was
the end of the school year and my final exams were fast approaching. I still
had a month and a half before I was supposed to get my license. I was planning
on getting my license around the same time when I was supposed to go off to
college. My actual instructor had left somewhere so I got a new one. My new
instructor started quizzing me on the stuff that I was supposed to know and I
was like “Have never heard about it” and he was like “You’re supposed to have
learned these chapters by now”. He expected that my old instructor had told me
like “Learn this chapter for the beginning of October and that chapter for the
middle of November”, but he hadn’t. So I had to take a written test on all the
theory behind the flying. I really had to study hard for my test in a week.
Luckily, I passed it and I got eighty-two points. You had to get seventy points
or above to pass. Eighty-two is nothing to be proud of actually. It was a
pretty easy test but eighty-two is just fine with me. And then it turned out
that I needed more hours of flying because they had changed the regulations on
getting a license a week before I was going to get my license. That meant that
I had to keep flying with my instructor on weekends. It was really annoying and
that took another five months. I remember being completely heartbroken and
there was a time when I was ready to quit the whole thing but then … my family
was like “We are not wasting all this money for you not to get your license”.
All in all it probably totalled about a little over three thousand dollars to
get my license.
One day I had to do
an extended flight for I think three hundred miles. My instructor made me do
some things that are really nerve wracking, and they made me sick in my
stomach. I really hated doing them and I was really glad that we stopped at the
point when we did it because I was feeling pale and cold and not in good
condition. At last my instructor said “All right you’ve passed the test, just land
the plane.” Finally I got my license. I’ve had it for nine months now, yeah
nine months, and I haven’t flown much since then. But I’m planning on going to
the nearby airport here at college and getting checked out so I can fly on a
regular basis once a month or once a week if time permits.
