Teacher: Today, we’re going to talk about the issue of friendship. Let me ask
a question: Is it better to make friends with many people, or to have
just a few good friends? ln other words, which is more important. the
quantity of our friendships or the quality of our friendships? Does
anyone have any comments? Yes, Jordan.
jordan: I think it’s important to have a friend you can count on when you're
in trouble. We all have some tough times, and we need sonteone to
talk to at such times. No matter how many friends you have. your
problems ean’t be solved unless you have someone you can trust.
Having many friends doesn`t always mean that their advice will help
you solve your problems. Here at school, I have just two good
friends, but I know I can rely on them for anything] need. They both
help me a lot in my daily life. l think this is far better than having
lots of friends. Also, you can`t maintain long-term relationships with
many people. The fewer friends you have, the more time you can
spend with each of them. _lust saying "l·Ii" to everybody doesn't give
you a better quality of lite,
Teacher: OK. Thanksa lot. jordan says 29 .
(D having many friends is related to peoples happiness in life
® he made a decision to help friends whenever he can
® people can be satisfied if they simply have many friends
® quality is more important than quantity in friendships

Teacher: Atty other ideas? Anty?
Anty: I tltink people shottld have a lot of friends tltrottghout their lives. l
mean, you should get on well with as tnany people as possible because
having a lot of friends will widett and deepen yottr ttnderstanding of
life in various ways, You’ll learn and experience differettt ways of
thinking by knowing them. I like having tnany friends because each
friend brings me new possibilities. Also, I disagree with _lordan.
When you't·e in trouble, fewer friends will give you fewer cltattres to
solve the problem. When I have a problem, I like to ask as many
friends as possible for their advice.

G) by observing many friends. you’ll gain skills to distittguish trustworthy
people from others
® friends ean sometimes be tneatt to yott, but friendships will beeotne
steady
© many friends often confuse you, and they guide you to wrong solutions
@ the tnore friends yott have, the more chances you'll have to solve
problems
Teacher: Atty other comments on this question? Maria?
Maria: Unlike Jordan and Amy, I don`t thittk we have to choose between
having "tnany" friends and having "gnod" friends. I'm one of Atny's
many friends, but that doesn`! necessarily tneatt the quality of our
relationship is bad. Itt fact, she's always good to inc, listens to tny
pt·obletns and offers advice, evett though, as she says, slte has many
friends. I believe people can have both.

It has been said that nine out of ten people like chocolate and the tenth
one is lying, but did you ever think about who gets the money you pay for your
favorite chocolate? In fact, the farmer who grows the cocoa beans and the
farmer whose cows give the milk get very little of the money you pay. Most of
it goes to the companies which transport thc raw materials, turn them into
chocolate, then package. advertise and distribute it to stores. As a result, the
cocoa aud milk producers often live in veiy poor conditions. 32
Garstang, near Lancaster in England, is a town which encourages stores
to sell "Fairtrade" goods; in fact, it calls itself "The Worlds First Fairtrade
Town." If you buy goods with the "I’airtrade" label, you can be sure that a
reasonable part of the money you pay will go to the farmer who grows the raw
materials from which your goods are made. For example, money paid for
"l·`airtrade" chocolate goes to cocoa farmers in Africa. People in Garstang
became iutercsted in "Fairtradc" when they began to look for a way to help
these farmers. The farmers complained that big chocolate companies were
interested only in buying cocoa beans inexpensively, and not in whether the
farmers had enough money to live, Oue group iu Garstang decided to
33 , making sure the farmers could keep as much of the protit as
possible.
The chocolate sold iu stores iu Garstang with a special "l’airtrade" logo on
it was more expensive than ordinaiy chocolate, but 82% of local people said
they were willing to pay extra if they knew the money was being used to help
people in a poor country. Gradually, other goods came to be traded in this
The next thing that happened was that local dairy farmers demoust rated
in the eentcr of Garstang. They wanted 34 . They pointed out that. like
the cocoa farmers in Africa. they also felt disadvantaged by an unfair trading
system. They wanted more money for the milk their cows produced. As a
result, Garstang has become a center not only for fair trade with poorer
countries, but also for promoting locally produced goods.

Scientists estimate that eight thousand years ago rainforests covered
approximately 60 million square kilometers of the Earth's surface. I)ue lo
hutnan destruction only about 35 million square kilotneters now retnaitt. Even
this relatively stnall area contains more than half of the world’s estitnated
10 million species of plants, animals and insects. The diversity is so great that
scientists have, until now, succeeded in studying less than one percent of the
species livittg there.
Native people who live in rainforests depend on them for food and shelter.
Because trees have been cul down and burned, native people, unable to find
ettottgh food, have starved. Additionally, they have been killed or forced out of
the rainforests by outsiders who have seized land for profit. The population of
native people in the Brazilian rainforest, for example, has decreased over the
past 500 years from approximately 6 million to 200,000.
Rainlorests are destroyed to tnake money from selling not only trees but
also cattle and crops that are raised on the cleared land. However, experts say
that rainforests will have tnore economic value ii we leave them as they are
and harvest their medicinal plants, oil-producing plants and fruits. This
knowledge, plus the fact tltat native life is becoming extittct, led Brazil to
introduce stronger rainforest protection laws at the beginning of this century.
'i`ltese laws aim to protect native tribes, prevent illegal cutting of trees and
expand the protected rainforest area. All countries tltat are contributing to the
destruction of rainforests should begin their own efforts to protect them.
Rainforests are essential to htttnatt survival. Therefore, we are all responsible
for protecting this biological treasure.

their- short, ttute steps.
® Seeing the drum major lead the marching band live is very exciting. Ile

house. Some people were carrying boxes. One of the helpers was
struggling with a large box but was able to put it down. As he slid it
under a table, a box on top of the table hit a vase, which fell and broke
into many little pieces. Naturally, Mrs. johnson became very upset. as the
vase was one of her favorites.
® Everyone was rushing because the johnsons were moving. The boxes
were being packed and the helpers were taking them to the truck. One of
the men was about to drop a heavy box, so he rushed to set it on a nearby
table. As he did, a vase fell onto the floor, cracking. Mrs. Johnson was
obviously furious, even though the vase did not break into pieces.
© The johnsons were busy moving. One of the helpers was carrying a box
and put it on a table with another large box. lfowever, he did not notice
that there was a vase sitting behind that box. When he pushed the box

Understandably, Mrs. _lohnson was very angry that her favorite vase had
been broken.

(1) When I first entered university, my aunt, who is a professional
translator, gave me a new English dictionary, I was puzzled to see that it
was a monolingual dictionary, which meant that everything was in English.
Although it was a dictionaiy intended for learners, none of my classmates
had one and, to be honest, I found it extremely difficult to use at first. I
would look up words in the dictionary and still not fully understand thc
meanings. I was used to the familiar bilingual dictionaries, in which the
entries are in English and their equivalents are given in japanese. I really
wondered why my aunt decided to make things so difficult for me. Now,
after studying English at university for three years, I understand that
monolingual dictionaries play a crucial role in learning a foreign language.
(2) When I started to learn I-English at the age often, I wanted to pick up as
much basic vocabulary as possible and created what might be called a simple
bilingual "dictionary" for myself. This consisted of English words and their
equivalents in japanese written on cards. I would put the English word on
one side of a card and the Japanese equivalent on the othe1·. I Iound this to
he a convenient tool for memorizing basic everyday words.
(3) In high school I was assigned longer texts which had a larger
vocabulary, so I started to use a standard English-japanese bilingual
dictionary. Such dictionaries contain a large number of commonly used
English words. Each item comes with a pronunciation guide, its equivalents
in japanese, a note on its grammatical functions, and examples of how it is
used.
(4) I-`or those working as professional translators and interpreters, there are
more specialized bilingual dictionaries. My aunt often translates articles
submitted to international medical journals, so she uses a bilingual dictionary
— 28 — t2<s10——2s>
devoted to medicine. Such dictionaries, available in various fields, tend to
omit words like "come" or "go“ used in an eveiyday sense; on the other hand.
they contain highly specialized terms not found in standard bilingual
dictionaries. For example, in a bilingual medical dictionary, one can lind a
term like "l1asal body temperature," which is unfamiliar to most people- an
expression referring to the temperature when the body is at rest.
(5) 'I`hen, if bilingual dictionaries are so useful, why did my aunt give me a
monolingual dictionary? As I found out, there is, in fact, oIten no perfect
equivalence between words in one language and those in another, My aunt
even goes so [ar as to claim that a Japanese "equivalent" can never give you
the real meaning of a word in English! Therefore she insisted that I read the
definition of a word in a monolingual dictionary when I wanted to obtain a
better understanding of its meaning. Gradually, I have come to see what site
meant.
(G) Using a monolingual dictionary for learners has benefited me in another
important way — my passive vocabulary (words I can understand) has
increasingly become an active vocabulary (words I actually use). This
dictionaiy uses a limited number of words, around 2,000, in its definitions.
When I read these definitions, I am repeatedly exposed to basic words and
how they are used to explain objects and concepts. Because of this, I can
express myself more easily in English.
(71 Once I got used to the monolingual dictionaiy for learners, I discovered
another kind of monolingual dictionary, which is particularly useful when
writing essays or preparing presentations. This is what can be called a
"find-tlic-right-word" dictionaiy. This kind of dictionary enables me to come
up with an alternative, and sometimes more precise, expression for a word I
am already familiar with. For example, if I lookup "difficult," I will find a
group of related terms such as "challenging," "tough," "hard," and
"demanding," A word like "important" will lead me to "significant," "crucial."
"esseutial," "influential," and "major."

(8) What I realize now is that both monolingual and bilingual dictionarit~s
have particular uses, and your choice of dictionary depends on your aims. It`
you wish to understand the general meaning of texts in a foreign language
and have no need to express your own idcas in thc language, you may [ind a
bilingual dictionary sufficient. If you work as a professional translator. yon
will find it necessary to use specialized bilingual dictionaries. However. if
your ultimate goals arc to understand a foreign language clearly and to
speak or write the language using a variety of words, I strongly recommend
that you obtain a monolingual dictionary once you have command of a basic
vocabulary. I feel I own the progress I have made in English to thc wisdom
of my aunt.

The topic for this week’s "Speak Out" column is whether there should be a
mandatory dress code in our school. The first opinion selected was sent in by
Monica Molina, a tenth grader. She writes:
There needs to be some limitation to what students can wear to school.
Without a dress code students could wear clothing that is offensive,
inappropriate, distracting, or threatening. Clothing with offensive slogans and
pictures that promote drugs, alcohol and smoking should not be allowed.
Pictures and slogans which are offensive to race and gender should not be
allowed, either. Clothing with distracting pictures or writing could take
students attention away from studying, which is why students are here.
Clothing with messages, writing or pictures that are threatening to students or
teachers shouldn't be worn. Being in a school with no dress code would be
very bad. A dress code should be made. taking into consideration everyone
who studies and works in the school.
30
® A lot of students wear clothing that is threatening to others.
® Clothing that has writing which encourages smoking is not so bad.
© Dress rules should protect everyone in school from being offended.
@ Most students don’t wear appropriate clothing to school.
Our next opinion was submitted by Kishan Santha, an eleventh grader,
who says:
Students should be free to choose what they want to wear to school.
Granted, there are some shirts that have offensive writing on them but the
majority of messages are not offensive. Most messages do not negatively
affect our learning and attention in class. if we have a dress code at all, it
should state that students cannot wear clothes with insulting words on them.
But, that is it. I’m sure that whether there is a dress code or not, my friends
will wear what they know is fine and appropriate in school. Teachers should
trust us to be able to determine whether or not the clothes we decide to wear
are appropriate.
— 12 ·— (2ll0~lZ)
31
® A dress code cannot prevent students from wearing clothing with
offensive messages.
® In most cases, students can determine what clothing is acceptable to
wear to school.
© Teachers can be trusted to make a dress code that students will accept.
® Students should be encouraged to make a school dress code for
themselves.
The third opinion selected was written by Kim Higgins, a twelfth grader.
She says:
I believe that students can express themselves with their clothing.
However, there should be some kind of dress code at school. It should not bc
a strict code, but a realistic one that everyone can follow. A rule that I find
reasonable is that a shirt or blouse should not be so short that part of the
person’s body can be seen. It particularly bothers some people when they can
see someone clsc's bare stomach. Also, we should not have to see other
people`s underwear. This offends some people and can be considered insulting.
If we don‘t have school dress rules, with todays fashion, things could get out
of control.
32
® Clothing is not a good way for students to show their feelings.
@ Current dress styles don’t require a specific school dress code.
© Showing one's stomach is fashionable and not so offensive.
® Some guidance is needed to help students dress with moderation.
We would like to thank Monica, Kishan and Kim for submitting their
opinions to "Speak Out." They have given us a number of important points
that we must consider seriously before everyone votes on this policy.

A role model is an ideal person whom we admire. Role models may have
various backgrounds and ways of looking at things. However, they all inspire
others through their actions. I would like to introduce two people I admire.
Mr. Chico Mendes is one of my role models. He was born in the Amazon
region in 1944 to a poor Brazilian family that had farmed rubber from rubber
trees for many generations. They loved the rainforest and 33 .
However, mining companies and cattle ranchers started destroying the
Amazon rainforest which is more than 180 million years old. They burned and
cut down hundreds of thousands of trees, endangering the living environment
of the people there. Chico began a movement that organized ordinary workers
to oppose those harmful practices. The movement m , as Chico's efforts
led people in other countries to protect the earth‘s forests and the forests’
native inhabitants. Mr. Chico Mendes is a role model for me because of his
courage, dedication and self—sacrificing work to protect not only the Amazon
rainforest, but the natural environment of the entire planet.
Dr. Mae Jemison, the first AfroAmerican female astronaut to travel into
space, is my other role model. Mae was born into a middleclass American
family. She entered university at the age of 16, and went on to receive degrees
in Chemical Engineering, African—American Studies and Medicine. She became
a fluent speaker of Japanese, Russian and Swahili. In 1992, she was the
science mission specialist on the space shuttle Endeavour, on a cooperative
mission between the U.S. and Japan. 35 , Dr. Jemison has used her
education to improve the lives of others by providing primary medical care to
poor people. She has helped countless people through various educational and
medical projects.
The main characteristics of my two role models are that they sympathize
with other people’s distress and are committed to improving the world by
helping others. They are caring people who use their potential to benefit the
world, making it a better place.

Satellites are very closely tied to our daily lives. The best example of this
is weather observation satellites. During a weather forecast on television, you
can see images of cloud patterns over Japan from the Himawari satellite.
In fact, the table below shows the satellite in use in mid»2007 was the sixth
in the 1-limawari series, which stretches back to 1977. The six Himawari
satellites have each had different characteristics.

Most of the satellites in the Himawari series have had 36 of around

after less than three years, and the lifetime of 1-limawari 5 was extended after
there was trouble in launching a new rocket, In 2003, 1-limawari 5 could no

years. In 2005, Himawari 6 was launched and the supply of weather photos
from Japanese satellites resumed.
Although most of the satellites in this series have been a similar size and
weight, Himawari 6 is much bigger than the previous ones as it has air—traffic

front of the target. Her brother tries to help her by moving the target to
the place where the arrow fell. Surprisingly, she then shoots the arrow to
the very place the target had been before.

brother watches. When she misses the target, both of them are very
surprised because she is usually accurate. l-ler brother helpfully collects
her gear so she can practice again some other time. However, the woman
and her brother are upset because they cannot reach the arrow in the tree.
© ln order to develop her skill in archery, a young woman practices hard.

never hits the target, After her brother tries to help by shortening the
distance to the target, she gradually hits the target more and more often.
Indeed, now they are greatly surprised whenever she misses the target.
® One day, a young woman goes with her brother to improve her skill in
archery. She and her brother are disappointed at her lack of accuracy in
this sport, She never gives up trying, however, and she practices hard,

(1) My niece, Ann, is in her third year at university. She has recently
started her job search, When she entered the university, she wanted to be
an architect and planned to apply for work in an architectural firm. But as
she prepared for her job search, she learned that the way people work has
changed a lot in the last few years. She discovered that much of the change
has occurred because of what is called the IT Revolution. The "IT
(Information Technology) Revolution" refers to the dramatic change in the
way information is perceived and used in today’s world.
(2) Over the past 12 to 15 years, the amount and types of data available on
the Internet and, in particular, the speed at which we can process the data,
have increased to an extent few people could have imagined. These
developments have led to new ways of thinking about how we use
information and how we work in information-rich environments. Simply put,
doing business no longer relies on location; new information—sharing software
has made cooperation at a distance convenient and efficient.
(3) As a result, many new business models have appeared. One such model
is a large corporation arranging to have another company, often located in a
different country, perform essential tasks. This became possible with the
growth of reliable and secure communications and the ability to move
massive amounts of data over long distances in an instant. An early
example of this arrangement is in the field of accounting. A company in the
United States, for instance, first scans all its bills, orders, and wage
payments into the computer and sends the documents to an accounting
center in, say, Costa Rica. Basic accounting activity is then carried out at
that site. Next, the data is returned via the Internet to the original company,
where high-level analysis is done.
i4) Another example of this type of arrangement is reliance on overseas call
centers, which have become increasingly common, lt has become possible
for a telephone operator in India to answer a customerservice call from
— 24 — (2110*2*1)
anywhere in the world, respond directly to the customer and offer a
satisfactory solution, at a far lower cost to the company than ever before.
Many large companies now depend on such call centers. Today in Japan.
when you call a toll-free number, there is a chance that someone in Chingtao,
China will answer the phone in japanese to help solve your problem.
(5) A second business model made possible by the IT Revolution is one in
which work is divided into smaller, more specific tasks performed by
individuals in different geographical locations. For example, freelance
specialists who may be living at a great distance from each other can work
together to produce a new semiconductor design. A member of the group
living in California does some initial work on the project and uploads the
result onto a server. A colleague in Japan spends the day making further
additions to the design. Next. someone in Israel accesses it and does his/
her portion of the job. Finally the group member in California downloads it
and gives it a final check. Thus, freelance specialists in different parts of
the world collaborate to complete a single project.
(6) A similar example is that of a commercial artist who works in the
privacy of her beachside home in Hawaii to create a mail-order catalog for a
client in Paris. She uses pictures taken by a photographer in Australia, adds
text composed by a writer in Canada. includes artwork she created on her
computer, and sends the finished product out to the client for final approval.
All this is done digitally and according to each worker‘s own schedule. In
this way, the best talent in the world can be chosen for each task.
(7) With the knowledge she has acquired in the course of her job search,
Ann now understands how the nature of work has changed as a result of the
IT Revolution. Although she is still interested in architecture, Ann now
realizes that this field offers a broader variety of opportunities. Rather than
studying architectural design itself, Ann has decided to become an expert in
the specifications and materials that architects need for their designs. She
also now knows that there is often not enough work in one office for a
specialist of this type. However, she is confident she can work as a
freelance specialist in collaboration with a variety of people in different
countries. Ann now looks forward to taking advantage of the career
opportunities that the IT Revolution has opened up.

Are acts of altruism unique to human beings? From my experience I must
say that they are also present in the animal world. I was raised on a farm and
was brought up surrounded by animals. Once I was being attacked by a large
dog and began yelling for help. A horse came running up from a distant field
and chased away the dog. We also had a dog that protected our cat. When
the cat was being attacked by other dogs, our dog drove them away by
barking.

Today, l would like to invite your opinions on this topic,
Brian: Thank you. I'd like to express my views on video games.
Sometimes, teenagers who enjoy playing video games seem likely to
attempt the tricks that they see. This could lead to serious injuries.
On the other hand, playing certain video games allows people to
gain skill in using their eyes and hands at the same time. Having
such skills can help young people increase their enjoyment of sports
activities.

Madoka: It is true that some video games have cool characters who
perform neat tricks, and kids try to imitate them. But I think video
games could also influence teenagers in a positive way. l've read
some studies which say that playing video games encourages you to
try harder and achieve more. For example, when you’re playing a
game and you lose, you might keep on trying to master it until you
succeed.
— l2 — (2610-12)

your view is that
G) imitating characters can teach us manners
@ neat tricks teach you cool ideas
© video games help you learn to never give up
® video games help you make more profits
Moderator: Are there any other views which we should consider?
Joe: Video games definitely influence some teenagers in bad ways.
There was an incident in which two teenagers were found with a
rifle in their home. They had used it to shoot at trucks passing by,
and had killed a man. It seems that they were influenced by a video
game. Parents should check the content of video games before
buying them for their children. They need to take an active role in
determining what their children are allowed to play.
Moderator: Thank you, Joe. You have mentioned one negative aspect of video
games. What you said is that 33 .

Grand Market, Asia’s largest food court. We then move up to the first floor
where a busy shopping mall begins. On the second and third floors we find a
variety of designer shops, while the fourth floor, called City Square, offers
coffee shops with tables in a central plaza. El They are the world’s
fastest, and in no time at all we are at the top of the building. Halt a
kilometer below, the scene glows orangepink with city lights. Even after the
sun sets, we can still make out the outline of Taipei’s surrounding mountains,
blacker than the evening sky.

What do you like to drink when you get thirsty? Since 1987, the popularity
of different types of packaged soft drinks in Japan has changed considerably.
During the late 80s, carbonated drinks of all sorts (such as sodas and colas)
were the leaders in popularity, with fmit juices a close second and coffee-based
drinks a bit further back in the competition. By 2004, however, those drinks
had lost their lead to the newest entry into this market: tea»based drinks of all
types. Tea drinks, which include green teas, took the lead over both
carbonated drinks and coffee-based drinks. The total production of tea»based
drinks was nearly double that of the nearest competitors: carbonated drinks
and coffee drinks. Fruit juices had fallen to fourth in popularity with a drop in
production of nearly one fourth since their highest levels in the late 80s. Fifth
place was held by sports drinks, which in 1987 were in fourth place ahead of
tea drinks. At about the same time that green tea became a packaged product,
vegetable juices also began to appear on the market. They have had a very
small but relatively consistent place in the market since then.

One of the reasons for the popularity of tea-based drinks might be that
many people like to have a non-sweetened green tea drink with the rice balls
that they buy at convenience stores. Many other types of packaged soft drinks
contain some amount of sugar which doesn't really fit people’s taste when
eating rice.

Tomo: Sure.
Carol: I have a clean sheet of paper, so all you need is a pencil,
She marks three dots on the paper with her pencil.
Carol: The game begins with these dots. Actually, you can start with any
number of dots. But, at first, it's best to start with three or four.
She adds another dot on the paper.
Tomo: Where on the paper do we mark the dots?
Carol: You can place them anywhere you like. Now, join any two dots with a
line. Players take turns drawing a line.
She joins two dots that are next to each other with a curved line.
Tomo: D0n’t you have to draw a straight line?
Carol: No. Any kind of line will do. In fact, you can even make a loop
starting and ending at the same dot. But you can't draw a line that
crosses itself, or any other line.
Tomo: 0.K. And?
’ Carol: When you’ve drawn a line, put a new clot somewhere on it. Each dot
may have only three lines connected to it. So, since a new dot placed on
a line already has two lines connected to it, it can only have one more.

The white-haired old man was sitting in his favorite chair, holding a thick
book and rubbing his tired eyes. When his nineteen»year<>ld granddaughter,
Valerie, came into the room, he looked up and smiled. His eyes instantly
brightened with happiness to see her.
"l·Ii, Grandpa. What are you reading?" she asked, pulling up a chair
beside him,
"Oh, it’s a book on the architecture of Spain, But I’m not really reading.
Mostly I am just falling asleep over the pictures," he said, laughing. “Are you
finished packing your bags yet?" he asked, The following morning Valerie and
two of her friends were flying to Europe for a two-week holiday.
"Alm0st. I need to travel light, you see, so I can buy lots of new dresses
and shoes in Paris and Barcelona." They both laughed because Valerie was not
actually interested in fashion at all. She loved foreign languages, music, art,
good food, and many other things —but not shopping for clothes.
“I~Iave the three of you finally decided what you want to do on your trip?"
Valerie thought for a moment and then replied, "Well, Naomi really wants
to see the Eiffel Tower and we all want to visit the Louvre Museum, Mika and
I want to see the wonderful buildings in Barcelona, too. But, basically, we still
don't have much of a plan. Do you have any suggestions? Y0u’ve been to
Europe so many times."
Valerie’s grandfather paused, and then replied slowly, “You know,
sometimes it may be best not to have a detailed plan. I remember when your
grandmother and I first went to Barcelona. We. went to museums or concerts
every day, We saw bullfights and soccer matches, We ate wonderful food and
met many interesting people, But one of my greatest memories from that trip
was completely unexpected" Grandpa paused again, and then said, "We had
come especially to see the famous works of art, but one day just for a change
we went to the zoo. And there I met someone who had a great effect on me."
i 26 —- (2610*26)
"I-lis name was Snowflake," he continued, "and he was a gorilla, a very
special albino gorilla, with white fur and pink skin. When only three years old,
Snowflake was captured in the forests of Africa and then brought to the zoo.
Because of his rare color he had become quite famous. Many people lined up
to see him behind a glass wall in the exhibit hall." ·
"ln fact," Grandpa said, "I did not think he was real when I first saw him.
When I moved closer, though, he turned slowly toward me and calmly looked
directly into my eyes. For the first time ever, I felt intelligence and awareness
in the eyes of another species. It made an impression on me that I will never
forget."
**50, what did you do?" Valerie asked.
**Actually, Snowflake was the one who did something. As we gazed into
each 0ther's eyes, the 140-kilogram gorilla suddenly slapped his hand flat
against the glass wall, making a loud, forceful sound that made all the people
in the room cry out in surprise, Snowflake seemed rather pleased with our
reaction, turning away casually and snacking on some leaves."
“So, he surprised you. He had a sense of humor, it seems," Valerie said.
“But isn’t it sad for such a wonderful animal to live in a cage?"
**Yes, maybe,” Grandpa replied. *‘But in the wild so many gorillas are
killed by hunters or disease that it is difficult to say which way of life is better.
And Snowflake did live a long life for a gorilla, about forty years, which is
equivalent to eighty years for a human,"
“So, he’s dead n0w?" Valerie asked.
"Yes, he died of skin cancer in 2003. He had very pale skin, of course, so
sunlight was very dangerous for him. It was a painful end, but I believe he
had some happy memories, too, You know, he had three mates, several
*children,’ and 22 ‘grandchildren,’ so that must have been nice."
Grandpa smiled at Valerie and said, *‘Anyway, maybe it’s best not to plan
everything. All kinds of wonderful, unexpected encounters may be waiting for
you on your trip.”
Y 27 — (2610-27)
A week or so later, Grandpa heard from Valerie and her friends. They
were having a wonderful time, enjoying many new activities. They even made
an unscheduled trip to the Barcelona Zoo, where they saw one of Snowflake’s
grandchildren. This baby gorilla didn`t have white fur, but he did have bright,
intelligent eyes which Valerie said she would never forget.

Gorillas are social animals with many similarities to humans. When
threatened, a male leader may attempt to protect his group through aggressive
displays which commonly involve chest»beating or short rushes toward the
danger. E Although watching TV or videos is sometimes said to be
harmful to human beings, the keepers think that this plan might make gorillas
"think more about life."
A. In zoos this shyness sometimes develops into inactivity or depression.
B. Some zookeepers in Russia therefore have come up with a plan to give
gorillas a broader experience of life by showing them wildlife videos.
C. However, studies indicate that gorillas are normally quiet, even shy,
animals that live in stable family groups.

30 'i`here is, however, also some data suggesting that genetics,
family income, and even the parents’ level of education may play
a part in how likely a child is to suffer from allergies.
31 The same is true of children who share their home with a pet.
32 Simply put, exposure to allergyecausing substances is necessary
for natural protection against them to develop.
The past thirty to forty years have seen a huge increase in the number of
children who suffer from allergies, and scientists are still looking for the
explanation. Some have blamed increased air pollution, but it has also been
found that allergies are common not only among children in the city but also
among children in the countryside, where pollution is typically much lower.
A currently popular explanation for the rise in allergies is the socalled
"hygiene hypothesis." The basic idea is that young children brought up in an
environment which is too clean are more at risk of developing allergies.
Nowadays, people bathe and wash their clothes more frequently than in the
past, and thanks to vacuum cleaners homes are less dusty, too. ( ® ) One
result of all these changes is that in their early lives children are exposed to
fewer allergens~substances that can cause allergies—and this means that
their bodies cannot build up natural immunity to them. ( ® )
The trend towards smaller families also means that young children
encounter fewer allergens in the home. In fact, it is known that children who
have older brothers and sisters are more resistant to allergies. ( © ) Such
children are much less likely to develop the very common allergy to cat or dog
— 14 — (2110714)
nan, mr exampie. < ® >
Scientists agree that being exposed to a wider range of allergens early in
life helps children to develop greater immunityl ( © ) Thus, although the
hygiene hypothesis is an important area for research, we cannot yet be sure
that too much attention to cleanliness is the only explanation for the enormous
rise in the number of allergy victims. ( © )

"Heaven helps those who help themselves," said Benjamin Franklin.
Although we are familiar with the message contained in this old saying, the
fact remains that we have to help each other. And that is what hundreds of
millions of people are doing- working as volunteers. In 2001, 28.9 percent of
Japanese citizens volunteered their services. This number suggests that the
idea of volunteering is becoming more attractive, because in 1983 a similar
survey on that topic found that only 20 percent had some experience with
volunteering. Even so, that percentage was lower than for the United
States and the United Kingdom, where more than 50 percent of citizens had
some experience of volunteering,
Differences can be found within a country as well. The graph below
shows regional variations with_ respect to volunteer activities among four
prefectures in Japan in 2001. As mentioned above, the overall rate of
participation of Japanese in community service was 28.9 percent. In that year
Hyogo appeared to be typical of thc nation in regard to that rate. The leading
prefecture was Kagoshima, where more than 40 percent of the people had
some volunteer experience. Yamanashi’s rate was similar to that of
Kagoshima, but preferences differed when it came to types of volunteer work:
A little over 10 percent of the volunteer work focused on community safety,
compared with 7.4 percent in Kagoshima.
Those living in Tokyo seemed to be less involved in volunteer work than
the nation as a whole. In fact, the overall percentage was the second lowest of
all the prefectures in Japan. Furthermore, the nation’s capital had the lowest
percentage in community development. It might be that people living in big
cities see themselves as individuals and not as members of a community. Or,
perhaps they simply do not have time to think of their neighbors.
— 16 — 12110-im
The japanese government has been making efforts to establish a system
to promote volunteer activities. Indeed, Japan was the driving force behind the
United Nations making 2001 the "lnternational Year of the Voluntecr."
Although variations among and within countries will likely continue for quite
some time, it is hoped that government support for this important activity will
encourage more people to help their neighbors and their communities.

Four university friends are finishing their lunch after shopping in the
morning.
Owen: That was an amazing sandwich.
Jay: Well, you ate it so fast I’m surprised you could taste it.
Yuki: He’s right. Did you even chew?
Owen: ( I ) I was hungry. And I have to go to work in a few minutes;
so I had to hurry.
Yuki: Yeah, that’s right. You have to work. Are you going to take all those
boxes and shopping bags with you? That stereo set, for one, is really
big.
Owen: But it was so cheap, and it’s totally cool. I’m really glad I found it.
Don’t you think it’s great?
Yuki: Yeah, I do. But you don’t have much room in your shop. Is there a
place where you can keep it all while you work?
Owen: Hmm, I don’t think so. I wish I’d thought about this earlier because I
could have taken all this stuff to my ear, but now I don’t have time.
Jay: We can take it for you. I know what your car looks like.
Owen: Thanks. 'I`hat’d really help me out. But actually, I didn’t drive my
own ear today. Somethings wrong with the engine, so my sister lent me
hers.
Yuki: What kind of car does she have?
Owen: It’s, it’s uh. . . .
Jay: Don’t you remember?
Owen: Well, it’s white. Oh, and it has four wheels!
Jay: Stop joking. You just described most of the cars in an average
parking lot. You’ll have to give us more information than that, or we
can’t help you.
Owen: Right. Well, it has some bad scratches on the left side, on the
driver’s side. It`s parked in the north lot on the green level, just above
the red level. Believe it or not, it’s not locked. And my niece’s teddy
bear is in the front passenger seat.

Their friend Ella returns from the restroom.
Owen: Hey, Ella. You know my sister’s car, d0n't you?
Ella: Yeah. Did she ever get the scratches fixed?
Owen: ( 2 ) So let me explain where it’s parked. When you get off the
escalator into the parking lot, turn right.
Jay: Wait, is that toward the exit?
Owen: Uh, you‘ll be facing the exit. At the exit, turn left. Then go down to
the last row and turn left again. Her car is on the right toward the end
of that row. There are some handicapped parking spots opposite it near
the elevator.
Yuki: < 3 J
jay: OK, y0u’d better get to work. Give us your stuff.

want to give anyone a chance to steal my new stereo!

While I was growing up in our small town, Rosemont, I always thought of
my neighbor, Mr. Peal, as a strange and somewhat frightening old man. He
was always yelling at me and my playmates to stay away from his yard and
his old truck. My parents never said much about Mr. Peal and only told me to
leave him alone, so I never had any reason to believe he was anything more
than an unpleasant old man.
But sometimes, at times and places wc least expect, we learn something
new about people that changes how we look at them. Such a thing happened
to me last year at my university, a hundred miles from home,
One day I was in the cafeteria talking with a classmate about my
hometown. Suddenly a student who was sitting next to us interrupted and
said, "Did you say you come from Rosemont? Do you know an old man named
Peal there? He drove an old blue truck?
"Why, yes," I answered. "I-Ie’s my neighbor. Do you know him?"
“I dol What a coincidencc!" said thc student and he began to tell me a
story, He told me that he lived in Sunnydale, where the university is, and that
one day seven years ago he, his mother, and his little sister decided to spend a
day in the mountains near my hometown. "We had to take a train to
Rosemont early in the morning, and then a bus from there into the mountains,"
he said.
I-Ie said that he and his sister began using rocks to make a small pool in a
mountain strcam. "We wanted to catch baby fish and collect them in the pool
so that the three of us could watch them swim around for a while before we let
them escape back into the river."
Ile was arranging one of the rocks in the wall when suddenly his sister
accidentally dropped a large rock right on top of his left hand. It cut his
fingers to the bono and made a terrible wound. "It hurt so much, and it looked
I 26 V <2110—2s>
awful," he said. "Mom wrapped my hand in a towel and told us we had to find
a doctor."
But the bus back into town was not due for another four hours. The three
decided they would have to walk down the road back to town. However, that
too, would take more than an hour. "My mother kept telling me to be brave,
but I could tell that she was really worried. We were all scared.“
Just then, a small blue truck came up thc road in front of them.
"Mom started waving and yelling, and the truck stopped. She explained
what had happened and asked the driver, an old man, if he would take us into
town to see a doctor."
` But the man told her that the doctor was out of town and that the only
other doctor in the area was another thirty miles away on the other side of
Rosemont. "He told us to hop in and that there was somc ice for my hand in a
bucket in the truck."
The student continued his story, telling me that he could not remember
much about the trip to the doctor. However, when he finally walked out of the
doctor’s room with his fingers banclaged. Mr. Peal was sitting in the waiting
room with his mother and sister.
“He said he would drive us back to Rosemont so we could catch the last
train home. On the way back he told us that he had no grandchildren, but that
his next-door neighbors had a daughter named Sarah around my age, so he
knew how Mom must have felt, You must be Sarah, I guess. When you see
Mr. Peal again, tell him that I`m majoring in music—guitar! My hand is
perfectly fine."
"I’ll do that," I answered.
Our university is large, and I never again met the student who had told me
this story. But I did see Mr. Peal again. I see him with new eyes now, and I
am glad I have a neighbor like him.

Most Japanese houses still have traditional tatami mats in at least one of
the rooms. At first, tatami mats could be folded or rolled like a carpet when
they were not in use, From the 14th century on, 26 , tatami mats have
had an approximately six-centimeter thick straw base with a fine soft covering,
This thicker type of mat spread throughout Japan in various sizes. Today, in
the Kyoto area standard tatami mats measure 1,91 by 0.95 meters, 27 in
the Nagoya and Tokyo areas they are a little smaller.

leaves fall onto the tracks, they can cause wheels to slip and then the brakes
may not work properly, m They claim that it could blast leaves away

A. Some scientists suggest that a laser device fitted onto the front of a train
might solve the problem.
B, In spite of such efforts, trains are sometimes delayed for long periods of

Have you ever thought about what skin does for us? Most of us are aware
that skin protects us from liquid, heat, cold, dirt, and bacteria. But that is not
its only job. For instance, the skin is where our bodies make the vitamin D
that we need 29 The wrong color — slightly gray or very pale—may
be a sign of disease. Skin may reflect a person's mental state, too. Unusual
sweating, for example, may be a sign that a person is newous or under stress.
A, Without that sense, we could not feel any difference between rough and
smooth surfaces.
B4 Skin can even help us determine if someone is sick.
C. Another function has to do with the sense of touch.

30 These are just a few of the things you can do immediately,
anywhere, and without any equipment.
Sl This is perhaps because lifestyle changes are easier to stick
with than exercise programs for which you must set aside time.
32 However, forget the common belief that you have to suffer in
order to make progress.
These days many people are trying to lose weight. Dieting will help, but
there is some evidence that cutting calories alone is not the best way to
become, and stay, slimmer.
Studies show that a weight·loss program that relies only on dieting is less
effective than a plan that includes physical exercise. One expert claims that
people who cut 250 calories through dieting can double that number by
combining it with exercise and other physical activities. ( (D ) Exercise
need not be uncomfortable. For people who favor an aerobic program, cycling
and swimming are good activities. Dancing can also slim you down. ( ® )
Some researchers have suggested that part of the added physical activity
should be in the form of weight training. Their study involved two groups of
women. Both were dieting, but one group also lifted weights while the other
did not. The women in both groups lost 13 pounds on average, but the weight·
training women lost only fat. The women who did not lift weights lost not only
fat but also muscle. ( © ) Yet another study, however, found that
overweight people on low·fat diets who increased or changed their regular daily
activities Aby choosing the stairs over the elevator, for example ·-were
better able to maintain weight loss than those in a tough physical program.

Tourism is an important part of international trade today, and business
activities connected with transportation, hotels, services, and entertainment for
tourists are essential sources of income for many countries. The figure below
shows the amounts of money earned from and spent on international travel in
2000 by six countries: China, Germany. Japan, Mexico, Spain, and the United
States of America (USA).

(Data: Ministry or Land, Infrastructure and Transport, wml Paper im Tim-am, 2006)
While the figure shows that the USA led other countries in both earning
and spending, we can also see that nations receiving large sums of money from
tourism do not always spend equally great amounts overseas. For example,
the amount of money spent by Spanish travelers abroad was less than 20
percent of that earned from foreign travelers to Spain. China also earned more
— 16 — (B10-i6>
from international tourism than it spent. The opposite pattern was shown by
Germany and Japan, where the amounts spent abroad by their citizens, 47,785
million dollars and 31,886 million dollars, respectively, were far greater than
the amounts earned, 18,483 million dollars and 3,373 million dollars.
According to the World Tourism Organization, there is a growing
tendency for tourists to seek out places where they have never been, Europe,
which received almost 60 percent of all international tourists in 2000, is
expected to see its share fall to 46 percent by 2020. On the other hand, by that
time the East Asia and Pacific region will have replaced North and South
America as the second most popular tourist destination. Of course. tourists
choose a destination not only on the basis of how fresh it is or whether an
international event such as the Olympics is being held there, but also by the
level of safety and the ease of getting around.
Many foreigners have the idea that Japan is too far away and too
expensive. and its language and culture too hard to understand. However.
distance and language alone cannot explain Japan’s lack of appeal to tourists
from North America and Europe: in 2000, China received more visitors from
these areas than Japan did. Despite its negative image among some tourists,
many who do make the trip to Japan are pleasantly surprised by the
friendliness of its people and the efficiency of its public transportation,
Moreover, not eveiy foreign visitor finds Japan so expensive these days. With
its safe society and excellent travel facilities———not to mention its history,
culture, and natural beauty —thcre is no reason why Japan should not become
one of Asia’s major tourist destinations. The amount spent by foreigners in
Japan may one day be more than that spent by Japanese overseas.

Elementary school students are taking a Saturday morning tour of a TV
station.
Mr. Wright: Welcome, boys and girls, to WXRP Channel 19. I’m Dan Wright.
Today you'll tour the station to find out how we broadcast the
programs you watch on TV.
Bobby: Mr. Wright, it’s ten o’clock, and I’m usually watching the
Mailman fuck Show right now, Is Mailman Jack here? Can we see
him?
Mr, Wright: ( 1 ), Bobby, our studio is too small for us to do the show
here Instead, Mailman Jack makes a videotape of the show at a
bigger studio in Peyton City and sends it to us, We’re playing the
tape right now, and that’s how people can watch it at home. But
while that tape is playing, we’re getting ready for a live local
weather report. Le't's go into the studio to watch how we do it.
The students go into the studio and see a woman infront of a blue screen.
Mr. Wright: ln 30 minutes, Ms. Cole here will be pointing to different parts of
the blue screen behind her and talking about the weather. All you
see now is that empty blue screen, but if you look at the TV screen .
over here, you see something else Take a look.
Carla: Wow, it’s a weather map, and Ms. Cole's standing in front of it!
Ms. Cole: ( Z ), Carla. This is what people actually see on their TV at
home The map you see now is of our part of the state at eight
this morning. Here we are in Jonestown. Here’s Lake Axelrod
south of us and the Blue Hills to the northwest. Peyton City is
-— 20 -— (810720)
northeast.
Carla: What is that letter in the circle next to Peyton City. and that line
with black triangles between Jonestown and Peyton City?
Ms. Cole: The line is called a "cold front," and the “R" in the circle stands
for rain. It was raining in Peyton City this morning.
Carla: I see. Then a "C" in the circle would mean cloudy, right?
Ms. Cole: That’s a good guess, Carla, but no. l`ll get to that later.
Bobby: Is it going to rain here?
Ms. Cole: ( 3 ), because the wind is from the northeast, and lt’s likely
that the cold front will move past Lake Axelrod by this evening.
Even if it doesn't rain, it’s going to get cooler in Jonestown.
Bobby: What about that circle above Jonestown?
Ms, Cole: '[`hat`s a symbol for a sunny sky. When you came in this
morning, the sky was clear, right? If it had been cloudy, Carla, the
symbol would have been filled in and look like a big black ball.
Now, that cold front is still moving toward us, and we can expect a
cloudy sky # maybe even rain — in a few hours.

During my college days, I spent my summers as an assistant at a camp
for junior high school students. It was work I looked fowvard to every year
because it was a pleasure. Of my camp memories, there is one summer that
stands out from the rest.
It was the first day of camp. About an hour after everyone had arrived, I
noticed a small boy sitting alone under a tree. I-Ie was thin, pale and obviously
uneasy. Only fifty feet away, all the other campers were playing, joking and
enjoying getting to know each other, but he seemed to want to be anywhere
other than where he was. I-Ie had a lost look, a look of deep loneliness. To be
honest, I felt uncomfortable approaching him, but our senior staff members
had instructed us to watch for campers who might feel left out, campers just
like this boy. I knew it was my responsibility to talk with him even though I
felt it would not be easy.
I walked up to him and said, "I·Ii, my name is Kevin, and I’m one of the
assistants" In a small, shaky voice he shyly answered, "I-Ii, I'm Tommy."
"Welcome to camp, Tommy. I-Iow’s it going?"
"Okay, I guess," he said quietly, not looking at me.
"D0 you want to join the activities and meet some new kids, or do you
want to just sit here under this tree?" I asked with a smile. He replied
unwillingly, "I’m fine here. This camp is not really my thing." It was clear
that camp life was new to him, and I somehow knew it would not be right to
push him to join the other campers. Instead, I sat down and talked with him
for a while, and then took him to his cabin. I hoped he would make some
friends there,
After lunch the next day, I led the two hundred campers in songs. I
looked over the enthusiastic crowd and noticed Tommy, sitting alone, staring
at the floor. I realized he was going to require some very special care. That
— 26 — ($10-261
night at our staff meeting, I told everyone about him, and asked them to pay
attention to him and spend time with him whenever possible. Tommy became
our special project. We always helped him participate in the camp activities,
and slowly he opened up,
Time passed quickly, and Tommy became more active every day. In no
time camp was over, As the campers celebrated at a farewell party, I /
suddenly saw what would be one of the most vivid memories of my life. The
boy who had once sat alone under the tree was now dancing. Towards the end
of the party, he was dancing as if he owned the dance floor, and talking with
people he had not even been able to look at a few weeks earlier. The changes
in Tommy were dramatic. All of the camp staff saw him as the carnp’s
greatest success.
About five years later, I got a letter from Tommy. I had not seen him
since the night he was all over the dance floor, so it was a complete surprise to
get a letter from him. And what the letter said was even more of a surprise.
In the letter, Tommy said, "I appreciate your help very much. On the first
day of camp, you came up to me while I was sitting alone. After that, you
always gave me special attention and encouraged me to join activities when I
hesitated. As a result, I gradually got to know the other campers, and I even
became ‘the king of the dance floor’ on the last night. Because of your help
that summer, my life changed. I gained so much confidence that I went back
to school as a new person. My grades improved. I became very active and
made new friends. Today, I got a letter that said I have been given a
scholarship for college next year. I am proud to have gotten it, but I know
that if you had not helped me, I would not have. I just wanted to thank you
for helping me become a different person."
I have kept that letter; it is special to me. I read it sometimes to remind
myself that we never know how much our actions may affect someone.

When English-speaking people talk about "hot" food, are they saying the
food is spicy like curry, or are they talking about its temperature, as in "hot"
coffee? These two different meanings of "hot" may seem confusing to
Japanese students, but 26 , the word is the right one for describing the
way the body responds to spice and heat. A simple explanation would go
something like this: when we eat or drink, the same nerves in the mouth react
both to spicy chemicals in the food and to a rise in temperature, The English
expression, 27 , reflects this fact about the human body.

ln the nineteenth century, a number of people tried to develop a method of
sending messages by using electric signals. E Telegraph lines were laid
alongside the railway tracks so that they could be repaired easily. This was
the beginning of the era of rapid communication.
A. The signals were produced by interrupting the flow of electricity with a

others.
Sl They need space, especially outdoors, so that they can run,
jump, and yell.
32 lt is very doubtful, however. whether any Japanese children get
that much free time,
When we watch kittens and puppies playing, we realize that through play
they are learning how to live. They learn various physical skills, such as how
to jump over barriers without getting hurt. They also learn social interaction.
For example, if a kitten bites his sister too hard, she will get angry and bite
him back. These physical and social skills form part of the training that young
animals need in order to grow up,
® Just as kittens and puppies learn about how to live through play, so do
children, But in present»day Japan, especially in cities, there is not much space
for children to play in. Children need to release their energy for their mental
and physical health. @
Another point to consider is how much time children have to play. Some
people say that four to five hours a day of playing outdoors with others is
necessary, even for twelve—year»olds, © Concerned about their future in an
increasingly competitive society, parents generally tell their children to study
more; very few would tell them to go out and play. @
What do these children do at home when they are not studying? They >
tend to spend time by themselves. They play video games or watch TV, for
— 14 ~ <00w14>
instance. © This can only be learned through playing with other children.
They need to play without being told what to do by adults in order to learn
about leadership and group harmony on their own. © Outdoor space is
particularly suitable for this purpose. Children need a proper outdoor
environment where they can freely spend their time playing with friends.

How hard do Japanese people work? Do they have enough free time to
enjoy family life, travel, or hobbies? We have compared the working hours and
holidays of workers in the manufacturing industry of five nations for the year
1005.
There are national holidays in each of the five countries, and people often
enjoy threeday weekends. Japan leads this group in terms of the number of
national holidays per year, with 15 days on its calendar such as Childrens Day
and Culture Day.
What if we look at the total number of holidays per year? This would
include not only national holidays but also weekends and paid vacation.
Germany led the five nations in the total number of annual holidays with 157
days. France came in second with 154 days. The United Kingdom (UK) was
third, followed by the United States of America (USA). Japan came in last

with the smallest number of holidays.
Some people say that the Japanese are taking more time off than they
used to, and that the number of Japanese vacationing overseas is high. This
may be true, but statistics show that, in 1995 at least, Western Europeans and
Americans took more holidays than the Japanese didr
Most Western Europeans take about four weeks of paid vacation a year,
while the Japanese and Americans usually take much less than that. A
problem that seems to be unique to the Japanese is that only a small
J percentage of the paid vacation offered is actually taken. There are a lot of
Japanese who do not feel comfortable about taking time off while their fellow
workers have to continue working. Some Japanese business leaders, however,
have encouraged workers to take more paid vacations in an effort to reduce
international criticism that the Japanese work too hard.
Surprisingly, Japan came in second to the USA in terms of the average
number of annual working hours at 1,975 hours in 1995. The United Kingdom `
came in third at 1,943 hours, followed by France at 1,680 hours. Germans
worked the fewest hours that year. It is interesting that research such as this
shows that facts do not always match the impression most people have.

My confidence as a swimmer started to disappear the day Angela moved
to our small town. At the time, some members of the town’s swimming club,
myself included, were preparing for the National Championships, which were
just six months away. I had always been the best, and everyone thought that I
would be chosen for the relay race. But now I had competition. There was
only one place for the butterfly on the relay team, and we both wanted it.
For two weeks it was awful. Angela was always the star. She was faster
than I, and her form was better, too. I was jealous and scared. My chances of
being selected were disappearing fast. My fear caused me to be unfriendly to
Angela. l refused to speak to her and never said anything good about her.
One day, however, our coach called me over and said, "Kate, I’ve got
something to say to you. Your attitude is hurting your performance. I know
you can change that. I'd like you to think about it."
When I arrived at the pool the next morning, I thought about what he had
said as I was going through my warm-up. Angela and I were going to compete
that morning, and only eight girls would enter the finals.
My thoughts were interrupted when a voice said, “Nervous?" It was
Angela. "l don’t like to talk before a race," I replied coldly.
"I get nervous, too," she said. Her voice didn’t have the anger of mine,
which surprised me quite a bit.
Angela and I competed in our separate trial races. I jumped into the pool
and swam like a flying fish. My mind was clear, and I could think about only
one thing; swimming well.
When the races were over, the judges announced that both of us were
among the lucky eight who would be competing in the finals. Despite this good
news, I noticed that Angela was sitting sadly alone. This puzzled me, but I
thought that I knew how she felt and tried to be friendly to her.
"I don‘t talk before races, but I do talk after them. Sometimes it helps," I
said.
— 24 — (909-24)
Angela was silent for a while, but then she said, "I'm great in practices,
but in competitions I just can’t do well. It's like this all the time. I’m so
worried about the finals."
Now I felt really bad. I realized how horrible I had been to Angela. I
wanted to help her. I wanted to show her that I was sorry for my behavior of
the past two weeks.
"Listen, I have an idea," I said. "Why r1on’t we help each other prepare for
the final race? We have two weeks to work on things."
"Good idea," said Angela.
For the next two weeks Angela and I worked together. I taught her how
to deal with stress and how to train her muscles. She helped me with my
form, and at the end of those two weeks we were the best of friends and
respected each other as swimmers.
The day of the final race came and when the starter pistol was fired, I
swam off like a dolphin. I thought about nothing but winning, but just before I
reached the finish line, I thought of Angela and looked over into her lane,
As I was climbing out of the pool, I said to myself, “Oh no, what have I
done?" I thought that I had dropped behind Angela and lost the race when I
looked in her direction.
While we were waiting for the official announcement, the coach came
running over to us. "Congratulations, girls! It was close, but Angela has won,
and so have you, Kate!"
"What do you mean?" I asked,
"Well, Angela will be in the relay, but you swam so fast, Kate, that you,
too, have won,"
"Really?" I screamed. "I don't understand."
"I’ll explain, The 21st Century Swimsuit Company is giving both of you
their Future Swimmers Scholarship this year."
"Wow, I suppose that I’m a double winner: I got a scholarship and made a
friend, to<>."
"You’re not the only one," Angela remarked.

One autumn afternoon a friend of mine, Captain Baker. returned from a
trip to Washington and found his wife. Jane, waiting for him at the station in
New York. She had gone to meet him because she had suddenly been given
tickets for the opera that night. She was afraid they would be late if they
didn't go there directly from the station.
She told him about something that she had found while she was waiting
for the train to arrive. In a corner of the station she had noticed a telephone
booth with a sign on its door, "Out of Order". Glancing into the booth, she
had seen a small object beneath the telephone.
"Look !" she said, holding out to him a small blue wooden cat. They
smiled over this curious toy. and she pushed it into her bag as they left the
station.
Later, they were sitting in the back row in the crowded opera house
enjoying the wonderful music. Some of the audience were standing just
behind them. Suddenly Jane felt fingers touching her lightly on the hack of
her arm. She shivered a little. and tried to keep her attention on the music.
When the touch was repeated a moment later. she whispered to her
husband about it, but he only replied that people do not bother you at the
opera on purpose. However, the touch was repeated and it seemed there was
a reason for it. Yet the touch was so slight that she hesitated to tum round
and glance back.
At the end of the first part they left their seats. Jane said. "Those lingers
brushing lightly against me felt so strange, like the Hngers of a ghost." She
felt so nervous that she could not return to her seat and the Captain
reluctantly agreed that they should leave the opera and go home. But on the
way home jane began to doubt that anything had touched her at all. She
admitted it might have been merely her imagination.
After they reached home, she remembered the little cat and got her bag
to have another look at it. She noticed the bag felt heavier. When She opened
it and looked inside, she was amazed to see a pile of diamonds, sapphires and
pearls.
Not surprisingly, they could hardly sleep at all that night. Both were
now convinced that those ghostlike Fingers had put the jewels in her bag
during the opera, The next morning they went to the police. At first the
police could not understand this strange situation. It was only after jane
happened to mention Ending the little wooden cat that they could give an
explanation.
"'l`hieves had stolen the jewels and were going to pass them over to a
woman. In order to identify her. they placed the cat in the booth and told her
to pick it up. They would be watching her. and afterwards would pass the
stolen objects to her, The woman arrived late, however. and you found the
cat by chance. They followed you and found a clever way to pass the jewelry
to you."
Much of the jewelry was returned to the owners, but a considerable
amount was not and came into ]ane's pomssion. She also kept the small
wooden cat. which she had grown to like.

What do hikers look at while they are walking in the mountains?
Research was done to find out which things most attract the attention of
hikers in the mountains. Twenty hikers were each given a camera and a
small cassette tape player, which was to be kept on during the hike.
Whenever they heard a voice on the tape say "Take a picture now i". they had
to take a picture of whatever they were looking at. Then, using the scale
1 [not at all} to 7 (very or very much), they had to respond to the following
questions I (a) "How beautiful do you feel the view is ?" and {bl "How
satished are you with the view ?" The instruction to take a picture was
repeated several times during the hike.
The researchers later divided the photographs into five groups according
to the main object in the picture. They then judged the distance of that object
from the hiker and divided the photos accordingly. The results, together with
the averages of the hikers' responses to questions ta) and {b). are shown in the
table below.

From this table it can be seen that. within the range 0-15 meters. the
type of object most often photographed was Ground. followed by Plants. But
Ground was felt to be the least beautiful of the five groups of objects.
Motmtoins and Valley; gave the greatest satisfaction to the hikers.
interestingly, it was also found that male hikers were more likely to be
viewing objects classed as Ground or Mountains and Valleys. On the other
hand. female hikers were more likely to be looking at Other Objects. such as
signs. the sky, and people around them. Another Ending was that there was
a connection between hikers' previous visits to this area and the distance of
the object viewed. Hikers visiting the area for the first time tended to be
viewing objects which were far away from them, while those who had visited
the area before tended to look at objects which were closer.

CD
library and borrow six or seven books. By the next weekend, he’d have read
@
them all and was ready to start some new ones. As he got older, it got harder
®
and harder to Find something he hadrrt already read. He spent hours looking

through the rows of books for something new. Then one day he came across

a book with beautiful pictures of roses. Soon he had a new hobby-

gardening. Now he spends more time on roses than on reading.

Can we get a better understanding of a situation if we create clear
images of it in our mind? In order to Find an answer to this question, a
psychologist asked three groups of children to solve two problems, each
containing some "trick". One was the alarm clock problem and the other was
the high tide problem.
(a ) The alarm clock problem : "At 8 p.m., John set his old-style alarm
clock to wake him up at 9 o’clock the next morning. Then he slept until the
alarm rang. How many hours did john sleep ?" (People usually answer
"Thirteen hours", because they do not realize that the alarm will ring at
9 p.m. The answer, of course, is “One hour".)
(b) The high tide problem: "A ladder with six steps was hanging
from a boat above the calm sea. The distance between the surface ofthe sea
and the lowest step was 10 cm, and the distance between each step was 30 cm.
At high tide, the sea level rose 80 cm. How many steps were above the sea
at high tide ?" (People tend to answer “Three steps", because they think that
the boat stays where it is while the sea level rises along its sides. However,
the tide lifts the boat, so the whole ladder is always above water. The
answer, therefore, is "Six. steps".)
The groups were each made up of 35 children aged l3— 14. chosen at
random. The three groups, the "Words" group, the "Picture" group and the
"Imagination" group, were each given problems (a) and (b) in the
following ways and were asked to solve them. The "Words" group received
an envelope containing only the problems. The "Picture" group received an
envelope containing the problems together with the pictures shown on the
next page (Picture l and Picture 2). The "Imagination" group got an
envelope containing the problems and also instructions to imagine the two
situations as clearly as possible. The number of correct and incorrect
answers for each question is shown in Table 1 and Table 2.

Tsuyoshi is studying at a Canadian university. Since he’s been having a
problem with one of his teeth, he decides to pay a visit to a dentist.
Dr. Mack Z Hello, Tsuyoshi, I’m Dr. Mack, What seems to be the trouble?
Tsuyoshi Z Well, Dr. Mack, I’ve been having a terrible toothache. it wasn’t
too bad at first, but the last couple of nights I’ve had trouble
sleeping because of it.
Dr. Mack I I see, And when did this begin?
Tsuyoshi I Oh. about a week ago. I First noticed it when I was eating some
ice cream.
Dr. Mack I Oh, so you have a sweet tooth ?
Tsuyoshi I Sorry. . . what do you mean?
Dr. Mack I Well, a person with a "sweet tooth" loves desserts and sweet
snacks. A lot of my patients are like that.
Tsuyoshi I Yeah, that‘s me all right. ( 1 I, I was enjoying the ice cream
and suddenly felt a very sharp pain in one of my back teeth.
Dr. Mack I OK. we'd better have a look. Open wide, please . . . rnmm . . . is
this the tooth. Tsuyoshi?
T suyoshi I Ahhhl Yes!
Dr. Mack I Yes, well, you seem to have a problem with one of your wisdom
teeth.
Tsuyoshi I Wisdom teeth?
Dr. Mack : Yes, you see. you’ve got three large teeth on each side at the
back of your mouth. The last of these three, which are also the
last to grow. are called wisdom teeth.
Tsuyoshi Z Oh . . . well, what’s the problem?
Dr. Mack t I’m afraid you have a fairly large cavity.
Tsuyoshi 2 A ca . . . cavity?
Dr. Macki Yes, a cavity is simply a hole in a tooth caused by decay or
damage. I think it would be best if we put a filling in right away.
Tsuyoshi : I’m sony, I’m not sure what you mean by a "f1lling".
Dr. Mack 2 Well. since you have a cavity, we need to fill it up with
something. It looks like you've got a few silver Hllings in your
teeth already.
Tsuyoshi 1 Oh, yeah, I guess I do. But my dentist in japan usually treated
my tooth several times before filling it.
Dr. Mack I ( 2 l, I see no need for that. It’s a wide cavity, but not too
deep — it doesn? seem to have affected the root of the tooth. I can
put a filling in today and that should take care of the problem.
Tsuyoshi I OK, the sooner the better. Dr. Mack. This pain is awful !
Dr. Macki ( 3 ), Tsuyoshi. But i.n the future, you’ve got to learn to
control that sweet tooth of yours. Try to cut back on the desserts
and snacks, OK?
Tsuyoshi I l‘ll sure try, Dr. Mack. But it might be "rnissior1 impossible"!

Old Fred Ford had gone to live with his daughter, Kate, and her family
shortly after his wife, Mary, died. Kate was an energetic woman who
expected people always to be doing something, and she found plenty of jobs
for Fred to do. This made him feel part of th household, but now he really
wanted to be able to sit and reflect on the events of his life. If he had
continued to live alone. he would have had the time to do this to his heart’s
content.
One afternoon he felt he simply had to get away from the house. "I’m
going for a walk," he said, closing the door behind him.
Leaving the town. he walked across the fields and followed a
slow-moving stream toward the hills. After a while he came to a pool in the
stream under some trees. Here, he thought, was a place he could come to
when he needed to reflect on the past. Although the stream seemed unlikely
to have any Hsh, he would simply tell Kate he had found a place to go Hshing.
When he mentioned the stream that night, his son·ir1-law, jim, said in
disbelief, *·There aren't any fish there. That stream runs dry half the
summer?
The old man pretended to be surprised. "You dor1't say I Well, I'll give
it a try, anyway?
The next day he dug his old fishing rod out of the garage. It reminded
him of the last time he had gone fishing. eight years back, with Mary.
When he stopped to buy a Hshing license and some equipment at the store
and mentioned the little stream, the owner looked surprised. "No Heh in that.
If you want my advice. drive down to Lake Henshawf
Fred thanked him, said something about trying the lake sometime, left
the store, and made his way to the pool. No one else was there; it was just
as he had left it. He found a comfortable place to sit, set up the rod and
relaxed.
During the following months he came to this spot frequently. Kate
complained that it was a waste of time: "If only he'd bring some hsh home
sometimes l" The men at the gas station would call out in a friendly way,
"Come to Lake Henshaw with us sometime. We’ll show you how to catch
some real fish I" Sometimes boys on bicycles would pause to watch him and
he would overhear their judgment : " He must be crazy."
But he didn’t let these comments spoil his visits to this quiet place, where
he would sit gazing at the sky, the water. or the hills, almost motionless.
remembering the richness of his life. He found contentment beside the
Sl0w·movirig water, which, like himself, had left the steep, rocky days far
behind.
One day old Fred felt the rod jerk. instantly wide awake, he saw El large
trout jump from the water trying to shake itself free. His heart beating fast,
he began to play the Esh with all his former skill. Slowly it weakened, and
finally he managed to bring it onto the bank where he stood looking
victoriously at the beautiful trout. It was like honey in his mouth to imagine
what Kate and all the others would say when they saw such a line trout.
Then he realized word would soon get around and all those who had
thought him foolish would invade his privacy, pole in hand, and Iill it with the
noise of feet and voices. N 0, he decided, his moment of sweet victory would
not be worth that price.
He reached down to the {ish and removed the hook. The hsh Hoated
slowly away with the stream, then disappeared into the depths. Then, with
a quiet smile. the old man made ready to start for home.

"Sorry, Mr, Johnson is not in the office today.",

( 1 ) Indeed, one American psychologist estimates that the average
person tells as many as 200 lies a day, including "little white lies" and excuses
such as: "I couldn’t finish my homework because the electricity went off in
our house." i
Almost everyone tells a lie at one time or another without feeling that he
or she has done something terribly wrong, ( 2 ) For example, a reporter
might try to pass as a government official in order to get the information for
a story he or she isi writing. Doctors, too, lie to patients sometimes when they
feel that the truth about an illness would be too much for the sick person to
face.
Lies such as these may be acceptable to the general public, ( 3 ) The
18th»century German philosopher lmrnanuel Kant insisted that all lies are
harmful, just as the great Christian thinker Saint Augustine believed in
ancient times.
A_ Some have argued, however, that lying can never be excused under any
circumstances. l ‘

reason for it. I

In me 1970s, with ever-increasing intemational travel and tourism, the
United States Department of Transportation decided to design a set of
symbols for airports, stations, and public facilities. The aim was to create
symbols that would be clear to people in a hurry and to those who cannot
read English. Accordingly, the set of symbols shown below was created.
Then the designers planned an experiment with an international sample of
8-year·old children from Sweden, Japan, France, Canada, and Britain. The
purpose of the experiment was to determine how clear the symbols would be
to the children, who were not experienced international travelers.
The children were shown the set of sample symbols, and were then asked
to explain to the experimenters what the symbols meant. The researchers
thought that if the intemational sample oi children could understand them,
then adult travelers would probably also recognize their meanings. The
graph on the next page shows the percentages of correctly explained symbols.
The experimenters discovered that most of the children could easily
understand the telephone receiver and cigarette symbols. However, there were _
some interesting differences in their responses to the other four symbols. The
Japanese children most easily understood the symbol representing “cof£ee
shop". The experimenters thought that this fact showed children in Japan are
more familiar with such shops than children in Sweden and Canada. The
Japanese, French, and Canadian children all equally recognized the idea of
"information" represented by the question mark. Interestingly, the French
and Canadian children understood the symbol referring to “campground”
better than the other children. Again, the researchers thought that
. — 14 —-— (809-14)
recognition of a symbol shows how common the activity is in a country.
One particularly difficult symbol was that of the umbrella & glove used
for "lost and found", which was correctly explained by less than 50 % of the
children in four of the Eve countries. On the basis of this finding, the
experimenters decided to add a question mark to make this symbol easier to
understand, ’

stone, and scissors beat paper. Then scissors beat crane because
they cut the cables, and crane beat stone because it could pick it up.

"We’re going." Mimi called out to her mother in the family’s grocery
store next to her house. This was her first date, and Robert Rovere had just
arrived to take her to a dance, She could hardly believe it was happening.
During the long wait she had wondered again and again what to wear. finally
putting on her favorite blouse. Now at last Robert was here. He looked
beautiful to her. His hair was neatly combed and he wore a yellow sweater
she hadn’t seen before. Mimi felt wonderful.
As they stepped out of the door, Mirni's mother popped out of the store
and said hello to Robert. Then she put a package wrapped in white paper
into Mimi’s hand.
"Limburger cheese for Sally Thompson, Mimi. We got a case of
imported Limhurger in today. I promised Sally you’d deliver it tonight."
"Tonight l" Mimi echoed, staring down at the cheese. "Why not
tomorrow ?"
"Sorry, but I promised Sally," her mother said. "Well, have fun you two."
"()h well. Robert, let's go," she said.
Her first date ever, her first date with Robert Rovere, and she was stuck
with a large, smelly, messy package of cheese l She tried to forget it. Here
I am, she said to herself, going to a dance with Robert Rovere. She glanced
up at him.
"That cheese smells," he said.
She held the cheese in the hand farthest from him, but the smell seemed
to be crawling up her arm.
They turned onto Montcalm Street. Mimi didn’t know the house number,
but she thought she’d recognize the house because she‘d passed there once
before. "Oh, here it is." She rang the bell but nobody answered. Then she
noticed that the name under the bell wasn’t Thompson. She had come to the
—— 22 — (809-22)
wrong house. Oh, how embarrassing, she thoiight. She dropped the cheese
into her coat pocket and rejoined Robert.
"Wrong house," she said, "I was sure she lived there."
“What do we do now ?" Robert asked.
Mimi bit her lip. She couldn’t bring the cheese home again now. It would
iust have to go to the dance with her. "Let’s go,"·*she said. She was so
miserable she couldn’t think of another thing to sayyand she and Robert
walked the rest ofthe way in a silence as thick as the bad smell ofthe cheese.
When they arrived at the dance, the place was full of people and there
was no room to hang their coats, Mimi wanted to wash her hands, but Robert
led her straight onto the dance floor. Mimi noticed that Robert smelled sweet,
like lily of the valley. She smelled of Limburger cheese.
' Mimi danced with all her heart. Robert’s eyes were closed, Probably
trying to forget her and her smell, she thought,
After a while they went to the snack bar. As they enjoyed their drinks,
Robert stared over Mimi’s head. He’s bored, she thought. Well, the evening
V was a disaster. The strong smell rising from her pocket was growing stronger
by the moment.
A redheaded boy stopped to talk to Robert. "Who took off their shoes
here ?" the boy asked, ’
Mimi’s heart sank.
"Something smells," said the redheaded boy.
Mimi held her breath. She couldn't look at Robert.
"I don’t smell a thing," Robert said. "Do you, Mimi ?"
For a moment she thought she’d heard wrong. Robert was smiling at her
in a special way. She stared at him in astonishment. "No. I don’t smell
anything," she managed to say.
"Must be your imagination," Robert said to the boy,
Mimi couldn’t believe her ears. Then she burst out laughing,
— Z3 — (809-zs)
How about that I Robert was sticking up for her, It was wonderful. The
cheese had suddenly become their secret.
When Mimi and Robert left the dance, the streets were quiet. They
walked close together, humming one of the songs they'd danced to. The moon
was high now, sliced thin, riding like a cheerful boat above them.
"I’m sorry about the cheese," Mimi said.
"Cheese ?" smiled Robert. "What cheese ?"

Misunderstandings often happen when two people try to communicate
but fail to say exactly what they mean or incorrectly assume that they
understand what the other has said, E In effect, these two different
assumptions made it hard for the wife and husband to communicate clearly.
A, An example of this occurred when a wife asked her husband if he wanted
to stop for a drink, since they had been driving in the car for a while, and
the wife was feeling thirsty.
B, Naturally this upset the wife, since she expected him to ask about her
needs and wants.
C_ The husband, thinking his wife was concerned only about his needs, told
her that he did not need a drink.

Life has lasted on this planet under varying conditions for nearly four
billion years. As the earth’s climate changed, some animals and plants
survived, whereas others died off.
Human beings have survived so far but could now be risking their future.
Many experts point out that human activities like the burning of forests and
fossil fuels have produced an excess of gases such as carbon dioxide (CO,).
( 1 ) ·
The greenhouse effect, however, may not always be so harmful; in fact,
it might be good news for farmers. A high concentration of CO, can promote
> conditions for plant growth, which is why some commercial greenhouses
create an artificial indoor environment where the air contains CO, at about
three times the level outside. ( 2 )
Although more research is needed, some scientists warn that unless
people refrain from activities that pollute the environment, global warming
could still pose a threat to life on the earth. ( 3 )
— 14 » » (909~14)
A, Because plants turn CO, into oxygen (O2), more greenery also might
mean more CO, removed from the atmosphere, which could slow down the
process of global warming.
B, Human beings have to think seriously about their responsibility to the
planet.
C_ These gases, once released into the atmosphere, trap heat and cause a
gradual warming of the earth known as the "greenhouse effect".

Psychologists have long been interested in researching the strategies, or
systems of planning, that young people use to solve problems. One area of
research, made familiar by the work of the Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget,
was concerned with the way young people understand concepts such as
weight, volume, size, and shape. Modern psychologists have continued this
kind of investigation.
One research project involved children of different ages and young
teenagers, Their task was to decide how to find, among a set of twelve balls,
one which was heavier than any of the other equally-weighted eleven. They
had only three chances to use scales in showing a psychologist how they
would solve the problem. The psychologist found that as age increased, there
was also an increase in successful use of strategies to solve the problem, The
picture below shows the scales and balls used by children and young
teenagers.
Q
{L,

The results oi the experiment are shown in the graph on the next page.
In the first step, most of the children, regardless of their ages, divided the
— 16 — (909-16)
twelve balls into two groups of six balls each and weighed these. This
strategy was called the "number strategy". In the second step, the different
age groups showed two patterns of strategy use. A majority of the children
younger than twelve and about a half of the older children applied the
number strategy from the first step again in the second. When this strategy
was used, the half-dozen balls from the first step could be reduced to three.
The psychologist also observed that about 35% of the twelve-year-olds used
a "logicrbased strategy" in the second step. They set aside two of the six
balls and weighed the other two pairs. Thus, they identified the pair which
included the heavy ball.

The most varied use of strategies was, as expected, in the third step.
Since those who had used the logic-based strategy in the second step were
now left with only two balls, they had no difficulty finding the heavy ball.
Those who had used the number strategy, on the other hand, were left with
— 17 — (909-17)
three balls. They then realized that an uneven number of balls could not be
weighed in the single remaining step. Most of the children younger than
twelve gave up the task here, but many in the older age groups came up with
the logicbased strategy as a solution,
Children at about the age of twelve discover that the logic-based strategy
is needed to solve the problem. The psychologist therefore concluded that as
children grow older they discover logic·based thinking.

Sally arrived early, As she walked around the old house, she couldn’t
help feeling sad because of what was about to happen. It was almost a year
since her dear grandmother had passed away in this house at the age of
ninety·two. The family had very much wanted to keep all her things,
Unfortunately, the family business had failed and left them with heavy debts,
In the end, the bank had forced the family to have an auction sale to repay
their debts. The auction was to be held today.
Sally wandered into the yard where all her grandmothers things were
neatly arranged, including dishes, old furniture, and the like, She was
especially anxious to see the quilt that had been in her family for over one
hundred years. She found it in a corner of the yard, lying on her
grandmothers bed as she always remembered it. Coming close, Sally began
‘ to touch gently the patches of cloth which had been sewn together with so
much love and care. _
If this quilt could talk, she thought, the stories it would surely tell ! Her
entire family history was contained within its borders. For instance, there
was the patch of cloth from her great-g·randmother’s baby dress. Another
square was made up of material from her grandmothers wedding dress.
_ There were even bits of cloth from her own mother’s graduation and wedding
dresses.
Around the edges of this family treasure there were, of course, the newer
additions. These pieces of cloth were related directly to Sally and her
cousins, recording baby births, graduations, weddings, and other happy
occasions, Sally was so glad that her grandmother had kept all these pieces.
Sally had never attended an auction before. She had heard you had to bid
for things you wanted. In other words, people offered money for an item, and
the person who offered the most money would get it. Over the previous
— ZG — (909—Z6)
several weeks, she had managed to save $100 in order to bid on the quilt.
Surely this will be enough, she had thought. Now the big moment had
arrived. Looking around, Sally was surprised to see how many people had
turned up, some from far away.
As the auction began, Sally waited. Finally, the time came to bid on the
quilt. She held her purse tightly and listened. The first bid was $50. She was
shocked. It was so high! Quickly other people bid and soon the bidding
reached $85. It was now or never. Taking a deep breath, Sally yelled out
"$100 !" For a moment there was silence. Hope filled her. She glanced again
at the quilt, thinking how pleased her grandmother would have been with her
at this moment.
Just then, from the back, another person shouted "$125!" In an instant,
Sally’s eyes filled with tears. That was it. She had lost her chance. Suddenly
feeling very miserable, she couldn’t help wondering why so many people
would be interested in that old, torn, dirty quilt. The quilt finally sold for
$500 to a complete stranger. For the rest of the auction, with an empty
feeling inside her, Sally just stayed around to bid for a few small items that
reminded her of her childhood.
After the sale, she went to the counter to pay for the few items that were
now hers. The woman at the cash register handed her a rather large box.
When Sally opened it, there was the quilt. "There must be some mistake.
Someone else got this/’ she said. At that moment, she noticed a handwritten
note attached to the quilt with a safety pin, which read:
Dear Madam,
Before the auction, I noticed you admiring the quilt. Clearkv,
this object was very precious to you. Your sadness at losing the

Fainting, the condition of a brief loss of consciousness, occurs from lack
of oxygen (O,) in the brain. Tension on blood vessels can lead to this
condition. For example, a quick turn of the head can reduce blood flow to the
brain, which naturally reduces the oxygen in the brain, m , wearing
neckties or shirts with tight collars can put pressure on the vessels. n ,

The color purple has often been regarded as a symbol of wealth and
power, but the dye used to produce it did not have an elegant beginning. An
ancient people living along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea first
discovered how to make the dye from Murex snails, small sea animals with
hard shells. E Let us hope we cannot smell them.
A, From this liquid the people produced the purple dye.
B_ If we visit the places where the dye was produced, we might still be able
to see the shells of Murex snails.
C_ Unlike other snails, Murex snails give off a strong-smelling liquid that
changes color when it comes into contact with air and light.

Have you ever noticed the different approaches people use to deal with
problems? Some people, "individualists", generally try to work through
problems on their own. Other people, "cooperators", tend to approach
problemrsolving as a group matter. Each approach has positive and negative
points.
Individualists may often be the quickest to find an answer to a problem,
and they tend to be willing to take responsibility. However, this approach is
not perfect. ( 1 ) In this way, the individualists’ approach may result in
difficulties later.
Cooperators are valued as team members — in sports or school or work,
They tend to be flexible enough to recognize the importance of other points
of view when problems arise. ( 2 ) Such difftculties sometimes cannot be
avoided with the cooperators’ approach.
We should learn to recognize the different approaches to dealing with
problems. ( 3 )
A, They may be too committed to a particular position to be able to change
their opinions,
B, This approach, however, can take a long time, which may lead to delays
in solving problems.
C, This knowledge can help us build smoother relations between people
with different approaches to problem—solving.

How do people’s preferences for styles change across different
generations? In order to investigate how different age groups view hair
fashion, a survey was conducted in Canada. The research data were gathered
in the following way: People across the country were randomly selected
with the use of telephone books. They were called and invited to join the
study if they were in their (1) late teens, (2) late thirties, or (3) late Fifties.
After 500 people agreed to participate. the researchers interviewed them at
home, while showing them a series of photographs of male faces, each of
which featured a different hairstyle. The researchers were interested in
examining how much the three generations favor the following five
hairstyles.
Among the five hairstyles was one commonly found in the l950s. It was
called the "crew cut". which was closely clipped hair with a Hat top. The
style selected to represent the early 1960s was common among rock and roll
groups. It featured hair cut evenly across the forehead with just enough to
cover half of each ear. Hair that was not cut at all was fashionable in the late
1960s. In this period, hair down to the shoulders was not uncommon. The
early l970s were represented by curled hair which was brushed up into a high,
soft and woolly bush. The hairstyle associated with the late 1970s was
shorter than that in the early 1970s. The hair was brushed down to cover the
ears and the sides of the face. This was the "disco" style.

The charts below indicate the percentages of each hairstyle chosen by
people in the three age groups.

Ages
Two major Endings came out of the survey. The hrst one was that
particular hairstyles were preferred to varying degrees, The crew cut was
popular in all three groups. The least favored hairstyle, in contrast, was the
"bushy" style. The disco style was chosen as the second most favored
hairstyle by the oldest group, although this style was not so popular among
people in their late thirties. Long hair turned out to be unpopular among
people in their late fifties.
The second finding of the survey was that older people preferred a more
limited range of styles. Each of the hve hairstyles was selected by more or
less equal percentages of those in their late teens, probably reflecting the
varied lifestyles of young people. ln the case of people in their late thirties,
however, there was a strong preference for three styles. This tendency to
favor fewer styles is more clearly seen in the oldest group, who for the most
part preferred only two hairstyles.

Going to the shore on the first morning of the vacation, Jerry stopped and
looked at a wild and rocky bay, and then over to the crowded beach he knew
so well from other years. His mother looked back at him.
"Are you tired of the usual beach, Jerry ?"
"Oh, no l" he said quickly, but then said, "l’d like to look at those rocks
down there."
“Of course, if you like."
Jerry watched his mother go, then ran straight into the water and began
swimming. He was a good swimmer. He swam out over the gleaming sand
and then he was in the real sea.
He saw some older, local boys — men, to him — sitting on the rocks. One
smiled and waved. It was enough to make him feel welcome. In a minute, he
had swum over and was on the rocks beside them. Then, as he watched, the
biggest of the boys dived into the water, and did not come up. Jerry gave a
cry of alarm, but after a long time the boy came up on the other side of a big
dark rock, letting out a shout of victory. Immediately the rest of them dived
and Jerry was alone. He counted the seconds they were under water: one,
two, three fifty one hundred. At one hundred and sixty, one, then
another, of the boys came up on the far side of the rock and Jerry understood
that they had swum through some gap or hole in it. He knew then that he
wanted to be like them. He watched as they swam away and then swam to
shore himself.
Next day he swam back to the rocks. There was nobody else there. He
looked at the great rock the boys had swum through. He could see no gap in
it. He dived down to its base, again and again. lt took a long time, but
finally, while he was holding on to the base of the rock, he shot his feet out
forward and they met no obstacle. He had found the hole.
— 24 — <809~24>
In the days that followed, Jerry hurried to the rocks every morning and
exercised his lungs as if everything, the whole of his life, depended on it. He
counted how long he could hold his breath. Each day he improved his time.
Even back at home he timed himself by tl1e clock, and was proud to find he
could hold his breath for two minutes. The authority of the clock brought
close the adventure that was so important to him.
The day after tomorrow, his mother reminded him casually one morning,
they must go home. He swam straight out to the rock and looked down into
the water. This was the moment when he would try. If he did not do it now,
he never would. I-le iilled his lungs, started to count, and dived to the bottom.
He was soon inside the dark, narrow hole. The water pushed him up
against the roof. The roof was sharp and hurt his back. He pulled himself
along with his handsifast, fast. His head knocked against something; a
sharp pain dizzied him. He counted : one hundred . . 4 one hundred and fifteen.
The hole had widened I He gave himself a kick forward and swam as fast as
he could. He lost track of time and said one hundred and fifteen to himself
again. Then he saw light. Victory filled him. His hands, reaching forward,
met nothing; and his feet propelled him out into the open sea. He floated to
the surface, pulled himself up onto the rock and lay face down, catching his
breath. After a time he felt better and sat up. Then he swam to shore and
climbed slowly up the path to the house.
His mother came to meet him, smiling.
"I-Iave a nice time ?" she asked.
"Oh, yes, thank you," he said.
"How did you cut your head ?"
“Oh, I just cut it,"
They sat down to lunch together.
"Mom," he said, "I can hold my breath for two minutes- three minutes."
"Can you, darling ?" she said. "Well, you sh0uldn't overdo it. You look
— 25 — (809-25}
a bit pale. I don’t think you ought to swim any more today."
She was ready for a battle of wills, but he gave in at once. It was no
longer of the least importance to go to the bay.

differences in attitudes will help us when talking to athletes who have lost.
A_ Studies show that female athletes tend to say failure is caused by their
lack of skill or effort.
B_ Male athletes, on the other hand, tend to point to factors such as luck ur
the strength of the opponents.

In many cultures nicknames are used to express feelings toward a person.
They are commonest among children but any close group of people, such as
a family, a sports team, or office staff, will use nicknames. m Added
to this, when we feel comfortable in using someones nickname to his or her
face, it can be an important mark of closeness.
A, Whether given to a friend, an enemy, or a leader, a nickname often
illustrates the person’s character, habits, or appearance.
B, Those who are in authority can also get nicknames.
C, They are given mostly to special friends or enemies.

What would you do if you wanted to learn about something? A
traditional way is to go to your bookshelf, pick up a dictionary or
encyclopedia, and start turning pages. Now, however, you can turn on your
computer, connect it to the Internet and start its search program. You just
type in the keyword(s), click "search", and soon you will have what you are
looking for.
It seems as if anything you want to know can be found on the Internet.
@ The range of information you can find on the Net varies from gossip, to
news, to the imost advanced technological findings. Furthermore, the
information is always fresh. ® It seems we do not need to "know" or
"remember" anything except how to get information from the Net. Or at
least, there is no longer any need for the shelf space to hold those volumes of
encyclopedias,
What is being lost. though, is the joy of discovery. In many ways an
Internet search is like a package tour, on which you generally know where
you are going and see only what the tour organizer has selected. Similarly,
what you find in the Internet search is controlled by the site’s owner or is the
result of a computer program. @ On the other hand, turning the pages of
an encyclopedia, as you look up an entry, is more like wandering through a
forest. Q} This may stir up a new interest, which will eventually lead you
into a totally different topic.
The word "encyclopedia" originally meant "general or well-rounded
education". ® With a traditional encyclopedia, this well-roundedness may
be achieved by the discoveries readers make by turning the pages. In
comparison, heading straight to the target word through a series of clicks on
a computer is rather linear. @

Researchers at the International Calorie Association (ICA) have claimed
that it is important to develop well-balanced eating habits. Ideally, calories
should be taken in equally from three meals: breakfast, lunch, and dinner,
They also point out that the recommended daily number of calories for
children is from 1,900 to 2,100 kcal.
The researchers carried out a survey intended to measure the number of
calories cl1ildren get from regular meals each day, They chose several
primary schools in five cities around the world: Guana, Jarnas, Lomita,
Norstar, and Portville. Every day for seven days, five hundred primary
school children aged 7 to 10 in each of the five cities reported what they ate.
Then the ICA calculated the average number of calories in each meal and in
snacks. The results are shown as percentages of the total daily calories in the
pie charts below.

The way young children get calories from meals each day varies from
city to city. For children in Guana, snacks provide the most calories. This
may be because they consider snacks as equivalent to a major meal. On the
other hand, snacks don‘t have much importance for children in Lomita, They
get most of their daily energy from breakfast, The total amount of energy
they get each day is quite small. The eating habits of children in Portville are
unique. Many children tend to skip breakfast and have a rather big lunch. ln
contrast, the diet of children in Jamas is well-balanced, A similar pattern is
shown for the children in Norstar. The total number of calories is, however,
much greater than the ICA’s recommendation. The children’s parents will be
advised to keep better control over their children’s diet even though there is
a good balance of calories between the three meals
The ICA concluded that there are important differences in the ways
children around the world get calories, and that they have to take these
differences into account when they give dietary advice to people. The
researchers also feel that more surveys are required, so as to discover what
kind of diet is needed, since this survey focused only on the number of
calories,

When I was an eight-year·oId girl, I was taken for my first music lesson,
Ms, Grodzinska, the teacher, was a plain, elderly woman and her apartment
was thick with dust, But in tl1e corner stood a magnificent grand piano, and
when Ms, Grodzinska sat down to play a simple melody for me, I was amazed
to hear such beauty come from under her fingers. As she played, she altered
from a plain woman to someone whose movements were as harmonious as
the sounds she was creating, I knew at once that I wanted to be able to bring
forth sounds like that.
Piano lessons were part of my parents’ ambition for rne to have the better
things in life. Musicians in Poland have sacred status, and having musical
talent is an avenue of success open to all. As a first step toward fame, I was
taken for a musical hearing test, and felt the shame of failing most of it.
Later, though, one of my music teachers told me about the importance of
"inner ear" —the ability to hear teelingly. In this, I turned out to be better.
’ Of course, like many children, I hated practicing. It was extremely dull
to go through the finger exercises endlessly, but as soon as I was given parts
of real pieces I learned them with enthusiasm, I didn’t wonder about what
they should sound like —I seemed to know. Music seemed to me as clear as
words. At the end of twelve months of lessons, Ms. Grodzinska said to me,
"Eva, you have talent."
It was decided at once that I should train as a professional pianist, and
I immediately entered Cracow Music School. It was an old school that
combined a basic curriculum with a full musical education, Inside, the
atmosphere was warm with the sounds of violins, red»faced kids running
around the narrow hallways, and tl1e heat of competition, We wore a
uniform, which hid social inequalities, but the degree of everyone’s talent was
judged constantly,
— 26 — (909-26)
A performance, of course, was the peak toward which all the students
worked. At the end of my first year at music school, I gave my first public
performance and I approached it with all the calmness of inexperience. When
it was time to play, I felt such joy that I knew nothing could go wrong. l
seemed not to be playing but listening to the music as it poured out of my
fingers. It was a happy moment.
But it was also the last time that I enjoyed such an innocent calm. From
then on performing became more self-conscious, and more difficult. My
childish fearlessness had gone and I had to work harder to get the necessary
combination of will and relaxation.
The time I worked hardest was shortly before my family moved to
Canada, when I was seventeen. Usually, the school resisted making stars of
us, but they decided to make an exception to their policy and allowed me to
give a whole concert by myself. This was a frightening idea — to get through
so many pieces without losing my nerve and concentration! and in
preparation I started practicing like mad. I practiced until my fingers hurt.
I practiced to make absolutely sure that I wouldn’t shame myself. I practiced
until my teacher told me to slow down.
I was more terrified than I had ever been as I sat backstage waiting to
go on, and I got through the program not in that simple joy of my first
performance, but through powerful focusing of mind and will. Afterward,
though, I had my full reward. My friends were particularly generous with
praise, and, most exciting of all, my classmates elder pianist-brother came to
tell me how well I'd done and kissed me in an unmistakably adult way. For
one glorious moment, music, admiration, and romance all came together, just
like they’re supposed to.

some differences were found in the attitudes of boys and girls. While many of
the boys said they enjoyed the use of the computer itself, the girls tended to
value the computer for how it could help them do something. 26 ,
computers were often a means for the girls, but an end for the boys. The
study 27 found that the boys were more likely than the girls to have and
use a home computer. However, further studies are necessary to confirm

may be their belief that dogs became mad because of some mysterious powers
at that time.
A. They believed that Sirius, the Dog Star, which rises with the sun during
this time, added its heat to the sun`s and caused the hot weather,
B. This expression comes from Latin, the language used by the ancient
Romans.
C, These periods, which occur in July, August, and early September, are
called "dog days" in English.

30 Similarlyl air does not conduct heat as well as water,
3l They, too, are poor conductors of heat and so a very good
protection against cold.
32 This can be easily proved.
Some people wear a fur coat for warmth in winter, but few realize that the
fur in itself is not really warm at all. ln fact, it has the same temperature as
its environment. lt does not warm us but keeps us warm. The source of heat
is our body, not the fur. Fur is specially suited to preserving body heat by
preventing it from flowing off into the cold surroundings, In other words, fur
does not let heat pass through it easily: it is a poor conductor of heat.
Different materials conduct heat differently. A frying pan with an iron
handle soon gets too hot to be touched. This is because iron allows heat to
pass through it very quickly, We prefer our frying pans to have wooden
handles since wood is a poor heat conductor. ® We would find a room of
22"C quite comfortable even if we wore just a swimsuit, while bath water of
the same temperature is unplezisantly cool. @ The water takes heat from our
warm body much more quickly than the air does.
Different parts of our body conduct heat differently. © An object that is
too hot to be touched for more than a second with our hands or lips can be in
contact with a fingernail for some time, That is because a fingernail is a poor
conductor of heat and the heat only reaches the sensitive layer under the nail
gradually, ©

Hair and feathers consist of materials similar to nails. © ln addition to
this feature, they keep a layer of air underneath. So geese, hares. and even
bears in Siberia do not need special winter coats. They have been given warm
coats by Nature. © Humans, having only a very small amount of natural hair,
have hunted birds and animals for their feathers and fur since ancient times,
and we still use feather bedcovers and wool blankets.

Stress Relief Methods
The nurses interviewed claimed that talking to others and shopping were
the usual ways to relieve stress. They also said that they liked listening to
music from time to time. The ATCs claimed that the responsibility for
hundreds of lives on the job put a lot of pressure on them. They relieved this
stress by shopping or sleeping, and when possible by playing sports. The
computer programmers, on the other hand, preferred sleeping and playing
sports as the best ways to escape the effects of any stress. They said that
shopping, talking to others, and listening to music were less frequently used
methods of stress relief for them. The teachers preferred talking with other
teachers as well as listening to music, particularly classical music, as the best
ways to relieve stress.
The OPA researchers concluded that workers in different jobs have
different types of stress symptoms and employ different ways of relieving
stress.

Terry, Pal, and Andy have arrived at a campground.
Terry: I.et's set up the tent before we get the barbecue going.
Andy: Yeah, we’d better do that. Why d0n`t we put it close to the lake near
the camping sign? We'll have to have the entrance facing away from the
lake. though. to keep the wind out.
Terry: I don’t think we need to, It's not so windy. If we set it up facing the
lake, we'll get a nice view.
Andy: OK, let’s do that.
Later, after setting up the tent . . .
Andy: Now, where should we put the barbecue? _
Terry: How about behind the tent?
Pat: All right. If we put it near the water tap, it'll be easy to wash the
vegetables.
Andy: ( I ) It's k.ind of muddy over there.
Terry: Yeah, you’re right. How about in front of the tent?
Pat: But that would block the entrance, I know, why don‘t we put it at the
side? That way it's still not too far from the water tap.
Andy: ( 2 ) Y0u‘re the boss, Pat. Terry, can you get the barbecue ready
while I go and get the things from the car? I'll be back in a few minutes.
Terry: OK .... Ouch! l’m getting bitten. There seem to be lots of mosquitos
down here by the lake. I-lave you seen the insect spray anywhere, Pat?
Pat: I think Andy had it. I remember he said something earlier about
getting bitten,
Terry: Did you see where he put it?

Pat: Maybe by the camping sign?

Terry: Where in the backpack?
Pat: In the side pocket.
Terry: The side pocket? Which one, top or bottom?
Pat; The bottom one.
Terry: Let's see .... No, I can’t find it. Are you sure it was this backpack?
Pat: Oh, sorry, it must have been the other one.
Terry: The other one? Ah, yes, here it is, but it`s in the top pocket. You`d
better put some on, too, and then we can start getting the vegetables

"When are you going back to Brazil?"
I looked down at the ground, trying to stop the tears. I didn’t want to cry
in front of those two girls. Why did they have to say things like that?
"If only I could go back to Brazil,“ I thought. Memories of my early years
filled my head. Playing, swimming, dancing, music, laughter .l,. When my
parents decided to move to Japan, though, l had to leave all that behind. I was
only seven years old at the time, but I still remember that day.
"Elena, were going to ]apan."
"For a holiday?" I knew I had some distant relatives in Japan, although I’d
never met them. lt would be fun to fly in an airplane and visit them.
"No, to live. We’re going to work there, and you’ll be able to go to a new
school and learn japanese. Then you'll be able to go to a university there, and
if you can speak two languages fluently when you grow up, you’ll be able to
get a good job in the future."
"I clon't want to go to a new school. I like my school here. And what
about my friends?“
"Don‘t worry, Elena. You'll make new friends."
I didn’t want new friends. I wanted my old friends. my grandparents, my
aunts and uncles, and cousins in Brazil, But there was no arguing; it was
decided and that was that, Two months later, we arrived in Japan.
The first few months were hard because I didn't speak Japanese.
However, my teachers and classmates were kind. I soon picked up the
language and made friends and spent five happy years at elementary school.
The problems began when I moved to junior high school. My junior high
school accepts students from three different elementary schools, and I found
myself in a class with many people I had never met before. Although I spoke
— 26 — (809—26)
Japanese fluently and my behavior was in no way different from anyone elses,
two of my new classmates started to tease me after they heard me speaking
Portuguese with my parents at the entrance ceremony. What hurt me most
deeply was the question of when I was going back to Brazil. If I went back to
school in Brazil, it would be so difficult to catch up with my former classmates
there. Besides, all my friends were in japan now. I'd spent half my life in
Japan, and Japan was my home.
The two girls started again, "When are you going back to Brazil?"
I wished they would stop, Then suddenly, I heard a voice behind me,
"Elena, what's the matter?" Natsumi, Maiko, and Kaori were walking over to
me. They had been my friends since my arrival in japan. At first, we taught
each other words in Japanese and Portuguese. After that, we always
encouraged and helped each other.
"Oh, nothing. I’m just being asked again when I’m going back to Brazil"
Natsumi turned angrily toward the two girls who were teasing me. "Don't
you understand? You have only one culture, but Elena has two. OK, that
makes her different, but aren’t we all different?"
Maiko joined in, saying to the two girls, "You're both different from me,
but that’s not a bad thing. I'm certainly not nasty to you because of it."
The two girls looked ashamed. After a few moments of tense silence, they
walked off toward the classroom. As I saw them walking away, the anger
inside me overflowed, "I hate it! I hate it!"
Natsumi put her hand on my shoulder, as if to calm me.
"Elena, they just don‘t understand yet. They'll realize eventually."
“Natsumi’s right," added Kaori. "I know that sometimes being Brazilian
and Japanese makes things difficult for you, but it also makes you special"
"Yes, that‘s something to be proud of," said Maiko.
My friends were right. Deep inside, I knew that they were right. I looked
at them with gratitude and finally let the tears fall.
