Speed dating

Speed dating started in the USA and quickly spread to other countries. The idea is to meet a number of different people in the same room. In a short time you must decide if you want to see them again in the future. You have just sevenminutes to talk to each person. After that time, you must end the conversation and move on to the next person.

How does speed dating work?

You can take part in speed dating now. Just register with us. It’s easy!We will tell you about your nearest speed dating venue. When you arrive, we give you a number and tell you where to sit.You have seven minutes to talk face-to-face with your partner. Find out as much as you can! After that time, you must move on and talk to a different person.Don’t exchange personal information (your address and phone number, for example). And it isn’t a good idea to talk about work or money!After a few conversations with different people, it’s time to make a decision. Who do you want to see again? Tell us (in secret, of course!).If that special person also wants to see you, don’t worry. We will send you an e-mail with all the contact details.

Your questions, our answers

– Who can take part?– Anybody over eighteen who wants to meet other people.

It doesn’t matter if you are shy, sociable, tall, short, black or white — everyone is welcome.– Can I go with a friend?– Yes, but they must register first. And don’t forget that the idea is to meet new people.– What happens if I get scared and don’t go to the venue?– Nothing! But you risk missing the man or woman of your life!

F – You must register on the web site first.

Unit3

Many people think Nelson Mandela is the most important leader in history. This is because hetried to improve conditions, not only for black people in South Africa, but for everybody all overthe world.a _____ When he became the first democratically elected black President of South Africa in 1994,it was another step in an extraordinary journey. His autobiography, A Long Walk to Freedom, talksabout this journey, which began when he was born in 1918 in a village called Qunu. His fatherwas a Chief of the Tembu tribe.b ____ He was a special person from an early age. When Nelson was a child, almost no blackchildren could go to school, but Mandela studied and became a lawyer. This was very useful tohim when he started his fight against apartheid, the separation of black and white people in allareas of society, which began in South Africa in the 1940s.c ____ Nelson fought hard to help people. In the 1940s and 1950s he talked about education,formed organizations and led protests, but legally he couldn’t do much because black people didnot have the same rights as white people. d ____ The government put Nelson in prison in 1962. At first it was for five years; then theychanged the sentence to life imprisonment. Mandela never gave up his belief that freedom andequality for everybody was right. e ____ Eventually, the political system changed and Mandela’s resistance, even while he was in jail,was an important reason for this change. He was released in 1990 after almost twenty-eight yearsin prison. Three years later, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace. Mandela was truly achampion of the people.

Unit3

Throughout history courageous people have not let their physical impediments stop them from fulfilling their dreams.They did or are doing great things, in spite of their disabilities.

A famous person from the past is Beethoven, one of the greatest composers of all times. When he was only fouryears old, he showed a love for music, and his father began to teach him to play the piano and violin. As a young manBeethoven began to lose his hearing, and some years later became totally deaf. But he still continued to composemusic. In fact, during this time he wrote some of his greatest works, which he was never able to hear performed.

Helen Keller was born in 1880, in Alabama. When she was nineteen months old, she became ill with a high feverand lost her sight and hearing; she was left in a dark, soundless world. Anne Sullivan came to teach Helen tocommunicate. After long months, she was finally able to teach Helen the word “water” by finger spelling on her hand.This was an important breakthrough—a miracle had happened! From then on, Helen learned quickly and eventuallyattended Radcliffe College.

Born in 1945 in Israel, Itzhak Perlman is one of the world’s greatest violinists. He became sick with polio at theage of four and his legs were permanently paralyzed. Nevertheless, he began his music career at the Tel-AvivAcademy of Music. Mr. Pearlman has won many awards and has played with every major orchestra in events all overthe world. He performs his music while seated and walks with crutches. He is a well-known advocate for people withdisabilities.

Stephen Hawking is a Mathematics professor at Cambridge University. He became famous in 1988 when he wroteA Brief History of Time. The book tries to explain how the universe began. Professor Hawking is almost totallyparalyzed as a result of a motor neurone disease and he uses a voice synthesizer to speak. His brain, however, is asactive as ever. He is still writing today.

Unit4

a __________________________________________ Cabaret is a famous movie that is set in Berlin during the GreatDepression in the 1930s, a period when there was poverty andfinancial difficulties all over the world. It was during this time that AdolfHitler came to power in Germany, because he promised the peoplehe could solve their problems. b __________________________________________ In the end, instead of helping the German people, his actionscontributed to the beginning of the Second World War. One of thereasons for this was that he employed lots of people in the factoriesto make weapons. That meant that people in Germany had work,but other countries in Europe became afraid of what Hitler was goingto do. They were right to be afraid. During the 1930s Hitler brokelots of promises and began to invade countries around Germany.c __________________________________________ The story of Cabaret was written by a man who had lived in Berlin during the 1920s. It takes placeat the beginning of the 1930s, when Hitler’s Nazi party was becoming very strong. Before beingmade into a movie, Cabaret was a novel and then a musical for the stage. It was written during the1960s and was a great success. d __________________________________________

It was even more successful when it was turned into a moviein the 1970s starring the famous actress and singer LizaMinelli. One of the most famous songs from the movie — it is not in the original musical — is called Money, Money.This song tells us that money is the most important thingin the world for many people.

The moment that changed Mandy Moore’s life was completely unexpected.

“I know everyone says that,” she says, “but it’s absolutely true! One minute I wasthere watching a TV program, and the next I’m in Hollywood!”

Mandy worked in a bank in a small town. She had a quiet life, living with her family,(she didn’t earn enough money to buy her own house) and watching TV with a fewgood friends from school.

“We used to get together sometimes in the evenings. Our favorites were the showswhere real people go on and talk about their lives … and their loves. Sometimes theyeven start fighting. It’s crazy.”

One day, one of Mandy’s friends told her that they had tickets to see their favoriteshow — Oprah — being recorded in the studio.

“I was so excited I couldn’t sit still in the studio. When Oprah asked the audience ifanybody could do anything a bit strange, I shouted: I can make animal noises! Well Ican — all my life I could do animal noises.”

“So I did it, cock-a-doodle-doo!”

I made a sound. My friends were so embarrassed, but Oprah thought it was fantastic,and she asked me to come down and do it again. The audience loved it!

The TV and radio stations loved it, too. When the program finished, Mandy had offersof work from five different stations! Now she works in Hollywood interviewing famouspeople about movies and TV—including an actor who asked her to marry him!

“Of course I said yes. It’s a dream come true—all because I made that stupid noise.What a moment!”

William Shakespeare was one of the

world’s greatest creative writers. He

lived and wrote at the same time as

Miguel Cervantes, author of Don

Quixote. They died in the same year.

Shakespeare wrote nearly forty plays and

many sonnets and other poems. As a

young man, he went to London and

joined an actors’ company, where he

acted and wrote plays. Eventually, he

became the manager of the company.

The first Globe Theater, where

Shakespeare’s company performed, was

built in 1599 in London near the River

Thames. Unfortunately, it was destroyed

in a fire in 1613.

The latest Globe Theater, completed in

1996, is near the site of the old one. The

builders used original materials and

techniques. There is room for 1,500

people, including standing room for 500.

The audience takes part in the play as

they did in the 1590s — shouting and

warning the actors of possible danger.

Watching Hamlet, Macbeth or Romeo

and Juliet at the Globe is great fun and

a truly interactive experience.

1 Match these questions with the texts.

a Why do some zodiac signs have more days than others? __b How does it work? __c Is it the same all over the world? __d Where did the idea of the zodiac come from? __e Why did people think the stars were important? __f Where does our modern twelve-symbol zodiac come from? __

1 In ancient times, people didn’t really understand how the Earth, the sun, and the stars moved. They observed the sky all the time and imagined that the constellations—the way the starsappear to be in groups—might be important.

2 Several of these constellations are in the zodiac and are represented by symbols. Peoplethought that the changing positions of the constellations at different times of the year affectedpeople and events on Earth. They imagined stories about their gods and other myths.

3 Imagine a straight line drawn from Earth through the Sun and out into space. Then, as theEarth orbits the Sun, the imaginary line would rotate, pointing to different stars throughout onecomplete orbit, which takes one year.

4 The Babylonians lived over 3,000 years ago. They divided their year into twelve monthsbecause of the Moon. So they divided the zodiac into twelve equal parts—like cutting a pizzainto twelve equal slices—and each month got a slice of the zodiac all to itself.

5 According to the Babylonians’ own ancient stories, there were thirteen constellations in thezodiac. The Babylonians picked one, Ophiuchus, to leave out. But the constellations are differentsizes and shapes. So the Sun spends different lengths of time lined up with each one.

6 Other cultures and traditions have recognized as many as twenty-four constellations in thezodiac—it all depends on the different parts of the world! Maybe the Babylonians just didn’t likethe number thirteen. It is unlucky, you know …

2 Now match these ideas to the paragraphs they describe best.

a ___ The Babylonians wanted to make their zodiac the same as their year.b ___ It’s a bit like a very big clock.c ___ Sometimes, things don’t fit perfectly into place!d ___ Things that happen in space can change things on Earth.e ___ People interpret things in different ways all over the world.f ___ Science was quite simple in the past. People watched things and had ideas.

3 Find words in the texts that mean the same as these:

The planet in “1984” is divided into three countries: Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia. Big Brother and his politicalparty controls the whole world. There are two-way televisions in everyone’s house and cameras on the streets, sothat Big Brother can see what you are doing every single moment. These televisions cannot be turned off and theysend out the constant propaganda messages of the Party. The three slogans of the Party are War is peace, Freedom isslavery and Ignorance is strength. But the most feared of all government agencies is the “Thought Police.” The worstcrime is a “thought crime” which is anything that does not agree with the Party and Big Brother.

People are encouraged to hate each other; there are special TV programs to make the citizens angry and violent.They are also taught to spy on each other, to tell the Thought Police if they suspect a neighbor of being different.Everyone wears similar clothes and they all exercise at the same time.

Sounds like a great read, doesn’t it? Why don’t you see if you can find a copy of 1984 in your library or bookstore?

Big Brother’s watching you!

Big Brother is a reality TV show.F

9.5 Culture

Basketball is unusual because it did not evolve from another sport; it was invented by one man.In 1891, Dr. James Naismith, a Canadian minister on the faculty of a college in Massachusetts,was asked to make up an indoor game to keep athletes busy during the long winters. Legendhas it that, after he wrote the rules for the new sport, he nailed a peach basket onto the gymwall. Basketball soon became popular all over the world. It was first included in the Olympic Gamesin 1936, and women's basketball was added in 1976. Basketball is played by two teams of five players who score points by throwing a ball into theopposing team's basket. Players can move the ball around the court by passing, tapping,throwing, rolling or dribbling. Passing is throwing the ball from player to player. Dribbling refersto running while continuously bouncing the ball. The only essential equipment in basketball is the court, which consists of two baskets withbackboards, and a basketball (Basketball was originally played with a soccer ball.) Atcompetition level, clocks are necessary to regulate game time. A referee and umpires called officials, control the game. The officials call fouls and violations andoversee substitutions, timeouts, and other details.An attempt to unfairly disadvantage an opponent through personal contact is illegal and iscalled a foul. If a player commits a foul, the opposing team is awarded one or more free throws.

2 Read the text. If you can’t understand the rules, don’t worry! Many people can’t.Invent a new game using a ball. Write the rules (no more than five)!

BASKETBALL RULES

Only five players from each team can be on the court atone time. Players can be substituted during the game.

The ball cannot be kicked or struck with the fist or goout of the court.

Traveling is a violation; it means to run with the ballwithout dribbling. Also, the ball can only be dribbled withone hand at a time.

Blocking, charging, hacking and holding are consideredfouls. They involve unfair personal contact with theopponent. If a player commits a foul the opposing team isawarded one or more free shots.
