Reading
Read the text quickly and decide what it is about.

A Mobile phones should not be allowed in the school canteen.
B People who want to speak face to face should have separate tables to sit on in the school canteen.
C Loud ring tones make it difficult to communicate face to face in the school canteen.
An idea for the school canteen
why I propose setting up a no-phone area of the

canteen. We could then sit in that area and know that
the other people would pay attention to us when we
spoke to them. It would be a great place to meet new
people and get to know them. I think we should start
by making half the room a no-phone area. We could
then see how popular each area is and make them
larger or smaller if necessary.
I know there are a few other people who think like

me and I believe its up to us, the students, to do
something about the problem. We dont need the
teachers to do anything - it is our responsibility. Thats
Thanks!
IT
o you eat dinner at school? I do and so do

many of my friends but there never seems to
be anyone I can talk to. Everyone is using their
mobile phone. The problem is so bad that last week I
sat for thirty minutes with three of my best friends and
I didnt say more than a few words to any of them.
Every time I started a conversation, someones phone
would ring or a text would arrive. I was so annoyed.
No one even apologised to me or switched their
phone off. The conversation with me just stopped
while they concentrated on the small piece of plastic
held in their hands. Its strange because, when Im
not with them, they are always phoning or texting me.
When were together, though, theyre always trying to
get in touch with someone else. Perhaps the person
they are with when they are busy phoning me! It was
such a miserable half-hour that I nearly went to sit on
a different table. I thought I could phone them and
have a chat! Instead, I decided to write this article for
the school newsletter.

I want to make it clear that Im not against mobile

phones or the noise they make. I love noise. My ring
tones are all loud rock songs and, when Im on my
own, I get very excited when I hear the sound of my
phone ringing. At home, in my free time, I often send
texts or call my friends. When Im at school, though,
I dont need a phone because Im with my friends.
They are the people I want to communicate with and I
can do that face to face.

However, despite the high cost of education, there are

strange.
4 Le Verrier thought that there might be a different
planet near to Mercury which was affecting it.
5 He called it Vulcan after the Roman god of fire.
6 Other people claimed to have seen the planet.
7 However, after the death of Le Verrier, scientists
began to doubt whether his theory was correct.

At that time, there was 2

Read the text quickly and match Dupin (D) and the sailor (S) with
the correct list of adjectives (14). There are two extra lists of adjectives.
1 dangerous, sinister, evil, violent
2 frightened, harmless, nervous, honest
3 calm, thoughtful, careful, prepared

4 arrogant, eccentric, curious, brave
Sit down, my friend, said Dupin. I suppose you

have called about the orangutang. A remarkably
fine, and no doubt a very valuable animal.
The sailor breathed heavily.

Have you got him here? he inquired.
IT
Oh no. You can get him in the morning. Of

course you are prepared to identify him?
To be sure I am, sir.
I shall be sorry to part with him, said Dupin.
I dont mean that you should have all this

trouble for nothing, sir, said the man. Im very
willing to pay a reward for finding the animal.
PL
Well, replied my friend, that is all very fair, to

be sure. Let me think! What should I have? Oh!
I will tell you. My reward for finding him shall be
this. You shall give me all the information in your
power about these murders in the Rue Morgue.
SA
At this moment we heard a step upon the stairs.

Be ready, said Dupin, with your pistols, but
neither use them nor show them until at a signal
from myself.
The front door of the house had been left open,
and the visitor had entered, without ringing, and
advanced several steps upon the staircase. Now,
however, he seemed to hesitate and he went down
again. Dupin moved quickly to the door when we
heard him coming up once more. The visitor did
not turn back a second time, but stepped up with
decision, and knocked at the door of our room.
Come in, said Dupin, in a cheerful voice.
A man entered. He was a sailor, a tall, muscularlooking person. His face, greatly sunburnt, was
more than half hidden by beard and moustache.
Dupin whispered the last words very quietly.

Just as quietly, too, he strode toward the door,
locked it, and put the key in his pocket. He then
drew a pistol from his jacket and placed it, calmly,
upon the table.
The sailor stared at Dupin, his face went red and
he fell back into his seat, shaking violently. He
spoke not a word.
My friend, said Dupin, in a kind tone, you are
alarming yourself unnecessarily. We mean you no
harm whatever. I promise that we intend you no
injury. I perfectly well know that you are innocent
of the murders. You have nothing to hide. On the
other hand, you must confess all you know. An
innocent man is now imprisoned, charged with
that crime and you know who really did it. By
telling us the truth, you can help to free him.
So help me God, said the sailor, after a brief
pause, I will tell you all I know, but I do not expect
you to believe one half of it. Still, I am innocent,
and I will tell all, even if I die for it.

Staffan Lindeberg is a professor in

the department of medicine at the
University of Lund in Sweden. He
trained in family medicine and became
interested in the effects of diets on our
well-being. He was especially interested
in a Stone Age diet, that is, the food
people ate many thousands of years ago
before humans started farming. In the
early 1990s he travelled to Papua New
Guinea to study the diet of the people
on the island of Kitava as this was very
close to the Stone Age diet. While there,
he found that the people did not suffer
from strokes, heart attacks, diabetes,
being overweight and many other
diseases common in western countries.
A Healthy eating habits that modern humans have forgotten.

B Problems faced by people following the Stone Age diet.
C Improving the health of the Kitava tribe by changing their diet.
SA
As a result of his findings, he decided to

test patients in Sweden to see how such a
diet would affect them. Fourteen patients
followed a Stone Age diet while another
fifteen followed a Mediterranean diet, also
healthy with lots of fruit and vegetables.
All of the patients in the tests had high
blood sugar levels, most suffered from
diabetes and they all had some problems
with their hearts.
At the end of three months, the group

following the Mediterranean diet had
reduced their blood sugar levels by a small
amount but those following the Stone Age
diet had much lower levels of sugar in their
blood. The patients in both groups also
lost weight although the level of sugar in
the blood and the patients weight didnt
seem to be related.
So, what is it about the Stone Age diet that can make us more
healthy? The diet contains some meat, fish, fruit, vegetables and nuts
but it doesnt contain any dairy products or grains, such as wheat or
rice, and there is no salt.
The next question is whether the Kitava people are more healthy
than us. After all, their life expectancy is much lower. According to
Professor Lindeberg, this is not as simple as we may think. Because
of their lack of healthcare, there is more chance of them dying at a
young age. However, if people on Kitava manage to reach fifty, they
tend to live as long as people in more developed countries.
A final question that people often ask is whether our bodies have
now adapted to eating grain and dairy food as we have been eating
them for so long. According to Darwins theory of evolution,
species, including humans, change over time so, what
was unhealthy for us thousands of years ago, may
now be healthy!

diet is the healthiest that people can follow.
2 The tests in Sweden compared fourteen healthy
people with fifteen unhealthy people.
3 Both the diets used in the tests were healthy.
4 There is a close relationship between blood sugar
levels and weight.
5 The Kitava diet is a vegetarian one.
6 People on Kitava have the same life expectancy as
Stone Age people had.
7 There is no one on Kitava who is over fifty years
old.
8 Our bodies cannot adapt to a grain and dairy food
diet because Darwins theory of evolution doesnt
work for humans.

When Emil Motycka was

thirteen, he borrowed money
to buy a lawn mower. No one
else in his area was offering a grass-cutting
service so the door was open for him to
earn some extra pocket money. It took
him two years to pay back the loan and,
since then he has proved to be an amazing
businessman. He then became a student at
the University of Colorados Business School
where he could probably have taught
his lecturers something about running a
business. Motycka Enterprises employs
about sixty-five people and is growing all
the time. The company doesnt just offer a
grass-cutting service now. The workers can
do almost anything from clearing snow to
fixing Christmas lights and general building
work.
Emil claims that his success is due to hard

work and determination. Thats why he only
sleeps four hours a night! He rarely goes out
because he feels that time spent not working
and building up his business is time wasted.
Emil Motycka
Juliette Brindak
It hasnt always been easy for Emil, especially

in the early days when he was cutting lawns
while his friends were going swimming or
hanging out at the mall. However, his hard
work soon paid off and he was the one who
could buy a car and afford to take girlfriends
somewhere better than the local burger bar.
Emil thinks that anyone can be a success
if they work hard. As he says: The biggest
failure you can have in life is not trying at all.
Juliette Brindaks success story started when
she was just ten years old. Thats when
she had the idea for the website Miss O
and Friends. News of the website travelled
quickly by word of mouth and she made
her money from advertising on the site. She
then published her first book at the age of
sixteen, which has sold over 120,000 copies
and, by the time she was nineteen, her
business was worth $15 million.

important to be a success in business,

just get in the way of sensible decisionmaking. Juliettes final piece of advice is
to stick with your ideas. Surround yourself

ideas succeed and avoid those who cloud
your vision by trying to lead you away
