II.”What time is it?”“I don’t have enough time.”“Is it time to go yet?”“Hurry up !
We’re going to be late.”
We talk about time every day. We measure it by the second, minute, hour, day,
week, month, year, and century. But what is time? No one can say exactly what
it is. It is one of the greatest mysteries of our lives.


We don’t know exactly what time is, but our ability to measure it is very important. It
makes our way of life possible. All the members of a group have to measure
time in the same way.
Time lets us put things in a definite order. We know that breakfast comes before

lunch. The reading class is after the writing class. Children can’t play until
school is over. Time enables us to organize our lives.
The earliest people saw changes around them. They saw day and night, the
changes of the moon, and the seasons. They started measuring their lives by
these changes.
Then people started inventing clocks. The Chinese invented a water clock in the
eleventh century, but the Egyptians had them long before that. As water dripped
from one container to another, it measured the passing time.

1. Why is time a mystery?
 Because no one can say exactly what it is.
2. How do we measure time?

average ship to round the Horn. More than fifteen thousand ships pass through
its locks each year.

Greenland is the largest island in the world. It covers over 2,000,000 (two million)
square kilometers. Most of it lies / is inside the Arctic Circle, and a huge sheet
of ice covers 85% (85 percent) of it. Imagine that a map of Greenland is on top
of a map of Europe. Greenland stretches / spreads from London to the middle
of the Sahara Desert.
The ice sheet is more than 1.6 kilometers thick, and it never melts. There is
probably only rock under the ice, but no one knows for sure. Along the sea
coast, mountains rise above the sea. There are a few low trees in the
southwest, but no forests. Snow covers everything in winter, but in summer
very low plants cover the ground between the sea and the ice sheet.
Norwegian Vikings were the first Europeans to see the island in A.D. 875, but no
one visited it until 982. Three years later a few Vikings went to live there. In
1261 the people in Greenland decided to join Norway. Norway and Denmark
united in 1380. This union ended in 1814, and Greenland stayed with Denmark.
Greenland is fifty times larger than Denmark, but it is still a part of this small
country.
B.There was once a large, fat woman who had a small, thin husband. He had a
job in a big company and was given his weekly wages every Friday evening. As
soon as he got home on Fridays, his wife used to make him give her all his

money, and then she used to give him back only enough to buy his lunch in the
office every day.
One day the small man came home very excited. He hurried into the livingroom. His wife was listening to the radio and eating chocolates there.”You’ll
never guess what happened to me today, dear,”he said. He waited for a few
seconds and then added,”I won ten thousand pounds on the lottery !”
“That’s wonderful !”said his wife delightedly. But then she thought for a few
seconds and added angrily,”But wait a moment ! How could you afford to buy
the ticket?”

WATER
Water is necessary for sustaining life in plants and animals. Men have always
been interested in the nature of water. At one time, water was considered an
element. Most water is derived from ocean directly or indirectly. Water which
New Yorkers use does not come from Hudson River. Water used in New York
homes comes from large reservoirs. Water in these reservoirs is purified.
However, absolutely pure water is probably unknown. Lake water is relatively
pure, especially in the mountainous regions. Most people think spring water is
pure. However, water which comes from spring sometimes contains large
amounts of two types of salt. Therefore, water in your springs should be
analyzed.
1. What is the importance of water?
 Water is necessary for sustaining life in plants and animals.
2. How is water which New Yorkers use?

 Purified.
3. Is there absolutely pure water in the world?

 No.
4. What should people do to spring water?

Because writing has become so important in our culture, we sometimes think of it
as more real than speech. A little thought, however, will show why speech is
primary and writing secondary to language. Human beings have been writing
(as far as we can tell from surviving evidence) for at least 5,000 years, but they
have been talking for much longer, doubtless ever since there have been
human beings.
When writing did develop, it was derived from and represented speech,
although imperfectly. Even today there are spoken languages that have no
written form. Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before we learn to write: any
human child who is not severely handicapped physically or mentally will learn to
talk; a normal human being can not be prevented from doing so. On the other
hand, it takes a special effort to learn to write: in the past many intelligent and
useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and even today many who
speak languages with writing systems never learn to read or write, while some
who learn the rudiments of those skills do so only imperfectly.
To affirm the primacy of speech over writing is not, however, to say that the
latter is of little importance. One advantage writing has over speech is that it is
more permanent and make possible the records that any civilization must have.
Thus, if speaking makes us human writing makes us civilized.
Questions:
1. What is more real than speech?
 Writing.
2. How long have human beings had speech?

 Ever since there have been human beings.
3. Do all spoken languages in the world have their written forms?

 No.
4. Can a normal human being learn to write without trying?

 No.

One year Miss Wyatt decided to have a holiday in Italy. She did not speak much
Italian, but wherever she went, she was fortune enough to find people who
knew enough English to be able to understand what she wanted, until one day
she decided to have lunch in a charming little restaurant in a village in the south
of Italy.
She had seen some nice mushrooms in the market of another village nearby
and thought they would taste very good, so when the waiter came to take her
order, she inquired whether she could have some mushrooms for her meal, but
she had great difficulty in explaining to him because she did not know the Italian
word for mushrooms. At last she took out a pencil and drew a picture of a
mushroom. The waiter’s face brightened at once, and he hastened out to the
kitchen. A minute later he returned, carrying an umbrella.
Questions:
1. Why did Miss Wyatt’s poor knowledge of Italian not interfere with her enjoyment
of her holiday most of the time?


 Because she was fortune enough to find people who knew enough
English to be able to understand what she wanted.
2. Where did she have trouble in making herself understood?

 In a charming little restaurant in a village in the south of Italy.
3. Why did she think she would like some mushrooms?

 Because she had seen some nice mushrooms in the market of another
village nearby and thought they would taste very good.
4. How did she try to show the waiter what she wanted?

 She took out a pencil and drew a picture of a mushroom.
5. Why did he bring her an umbrella?

 Because he misunderstood the picture./ Because the picture of
mushroom looked like the umbrella.

Louis Braille was born in France in 1809. His father had a small business. He
made shoes and other things from leather. Louis liked to help his father in the
store even when he was very small. One day when Louis was three years old,
he was cutting some leather. Suddenly the knife slipped and hit him in the eye.
Louis soon became completely blind.
When he was ten years old, he entered the National Institute for the Blind in
Paris. One day his class went to visit a special exhibit by a captain in the army.

One thing in the exhibit was very interesting for Louis. It showed messages in
code. Armies send messages in secret codes so no one else can read them.
The captain wrote this code in raised letters on very thick paper.
Louis thought a lot about this code. Then he decided to write in the same way so
blind people could”read”with their fingers. It is very difficult to feel the
differences between raised letters. Instead of letters, Louis used a”cell”of six
dots. He arranged the dots with two dots across and three down.
There are 63 possible arrangements of the dots in the Braille system. Each
arrangement stands for one letter, punctuation mark, or number. He also used
his system to write music.
Louis Braille invented this system when he was only fifteen years old.
Blind people can also write Braille. They use a special kind of pen to make the
dots.
Questions:
1. What was Louis Braille’s place of birth?
 In France
2. How did he become blind?

 While he was cutting some leather, suddenly the knife slipped and hit him
in the eye.
3. What gave him the idea for the Braille system?

 The secret code in army
4. How old was he when he invented the Braille system?

 15 years old
5. Are there raised letters in the Braille system?

 No
II.

THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT
Scientists say that something very serious is happening to the Earth. It will begin
to get warmer in the 1990s. There will be major changes in climate during the
next century. Coastal waters will have a higher temperature. This will have a


serious effect on agriculture. In northern areas, the growing season will be ten
days longer by the year 2000. However, in warmer areas, it will be too dry. The
amount of water could decrease by fifty percent. This would cause a large
decrease in agricultural production.
World temperatures could increase two degrees centigrade by the year 2040.
However, the increase could be three times as great in the Arctic and Antarctic
regions. This would cause the ice sheets to melt and raise the level of the
oceans by one or two metres. Many coastal cities would be under water.
Why is this happening? There is too much carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air. When
oil, gas, and coal burn, they create large amounts of carbon dioxide. We send
five billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year. This amount
will double in fifty years. This carbon dioxide lets sunlights enter the earth’s
atmosphere and heat the earth. However, it does not let as much heat leave the
atmosphere and enter space. It is like a blanket. The heat can pass from the
sun through the blanket to warm the earth. The heat stays there and can not
escape through the blanket again.
Scientists call this greenhouse effect. A greenhouse is a building for growing
plants. It is made of glass or clear plastic.
QUESTIONS
1. What is a greenhouse?
 It is a building for growing plants. It is made of glass or clear plastic.
2. What causes the greenhouse effect?

 There is too much Carbon dioxide in the air.

3. Why do scientists call this the greenhouse effect?

 Because it has a similar effect to the real green house.
4. What changes will this effect make in the earth’s climate?

 Coastal waters will have a higher temperature. And, in warmer areas, it will
be too dry.
5. What would the temperature in the Arctic and Antarctic regions be in the year

2040?
 The temperature in the Arctic and Antarctic regions could increase 6
degrees centigrade by the year 2040.

The controversy surrounding the relationships between the roles of men and women is,
perhaps, one of the features of the second half of the twentieth century in Western
societies. In the United States of America, for example, both sexes are, more or less
aggressively, demanding freedom from the constraints of traditional attitudes towards
the roles of the sexes and marriage. The impact of this can be seen in the rising
divorce rate, falling birth rate and the increasing number of couples living together
without a marriage license.
It is perhaps interesting to speculate on the future roles of men and women. In
developed countries, if the advent of the silicon chip leads to mass unemployment and
a revolutionized attitude towards work and leisure, what will be the effect on, for
example, women who at present express their equality with men primarily through their
work; if oil, coal and gas run out and alternative energy sources can not take up the
slack in domestic supplies, what effect will this have on the roles of men and women in
domestic life? In developing societies, how will increasing exposure to Western society
(through the media and travel) and improved technology affect the role of women?
One can obviously guess at the answers, but what do you think or hope will happen?
Questions:
1. What is one of the features of the 20th century in the Western societies?

 The controversy surrounding the relationships between the roles of men and
women.
2. Are American men and women still happy with their traditional role in the family?

 No.
3. How can women express their equality with men?

 Through their work.
4. How are developing countries exposed to Western societies?

 Through the media and travel
II.
In societies where people tend to live together in extended family groups, - consisting of
grandparents, great uncles and aunts, parents, aunts and uncles, children and
cousins, for example - care of both young and old is the natural function of the group.
The State is only needed when the efficiency of the group breaks down, because of
illness or poverty, for example. In Britain, however, people tend to live in nuclear family
groups (parents and children only), with the result that the care of the old is a social
problem and the State needs to intervene. What is more, if the relationship between
husband and wife breaks down, the children are immediately at risk, and State
intervention may be necessary for them too. Where parents do care for their children,
however, they usually take their responsibilities very seriously.
The British population is already one of the oldest in Europe, and it is slowly getting
older. In 1990 the median age in Britain was thirty-six but it will rise to fortyone by
2020. At the end of the 1990s the number of pensioners will begin to rise rapidly, and
the workforce will shrink. One result will be that by 2020 there will be twice as many
people aged eighty-five or over as in 1990. A disproportionate number of the old,


incidentally, choose to retire to the south coast and East Anglia, creating regional
imbalances.
Questions:
1. What is an extended family?

 It consists of grandparents, great uncles and aunts, parents, aunts and
uncles, children and cousins.
2. What is a nuclear family?

 It consists of parents and children only.
3. Who takes care of the young and old in an extended family?

 The whole group
4. What is a possible consequence if the relationship between the husband and the wife
breaks down

 The children are immediately at risk

During the teenage years, many people can at times be difficult to talk to. They often
seem to dislike being questioned. They may seem unwilling to talk about their work in
school. This is a normal development at this age, though it can be very hard for
parents to understand. It is part of becoming independent of teenagers trying to be
adult while they are still growing up. Young people are usually more willing to talk if
they believe that questions are asked out of real interest and not because people are
trying to check up on them.
Parents should do their best to talk to their sons or daughters about schoolwork and future
plans but should not push them to talk if they don’t want to. Parents should also watch
for the danger signs: some young people in trying to be adult may experiment with
sex, drugs, alcohol or smoking. Parents need to watch for any signs of unusual
behaviour which may be connected with these and get help if necessary.
QUESTIONS:
1. Why do adults sometimes find teenagers difficult to talk to?

 Because they often seem to dislike being questioned and they may seem unwilling to
talk about their work in school.
2. When can you expect young people to be more talkative than usual?

 Young people are usually more willing to talk if they believe that questions are asked
out of real interest.
3. Why may some teenagers experiment with drinking and smoking?

 Because they are trying to be adult.
4. What should parents do if they notice any signs of their children’s unusual behaviour?

I knew it was going to be a bad day when, on the way to the airport the taxi-driver told me
he was lost. I had booked my flight over the telephone, so when we finally arrived, I
had to rush to the reservation desk to pay for my ticket. The woman at the desk told
me that my name was not on the passenger list. It took fifteen minutes for her to
realize that she had spelled my name incorrectly. She gave me the ticket and told me
I'd better check in my luggage quickly or I'd miss my flight.
I was the last person to get on the plane.
I found my seat and discovered that I was sitting next to a four-year-old boy who had a
cold. I sat down and wondered if anything else could go wrong.
I hate flying, especially take-off, but the plane took off and everything seemed to be all
right. Then, a few minutes later, there was a funny noise and everything started to
shake.
I looked out of the window and- oh my God- there was smoke coming out of the wing. All I
could think was 'The engine is on fire. We are going to crash, I am too young to die'.


Almost immediately, the captain spoke to us in a very calm voice ”Ladies and gentlemen.
This is your captain speaking. We are having a slight technical problem with one of our
engines. There is no need to panic. We will have to return to the airport. Please remain
seated and keep your seat belts fastened."
A few minutes later, we were coming in to land. The pilot made a perfect landing on the
runway. It was over. We were safe. That day, I decided not to fly again. I caught
another taxi and went home. But as I closed the front door, I looked down at my case.
Somehow I had picked up the wrong suitcase.
Questions:

1. There was nothing wrong with her on the way to the airport. F
2. She was in a great hurry at the airport. T
3. It took her about fifteen minutes to get her ticket. T
4. She was happy to sit next to a four-year-old boy who had a cold. F
5. A few minutes after the plane had taken off, its engine was on fire. F
6. The plane had to come back to the airport. T
7. The pilot was very good at his job. T

Mahatma Gandhi was born in 1869, and was sent to England in 1888 where he studied
law. When he graduated he took a job in South Africa where he first began to struggle
against injustice. The South Africans looked down upon non- Europeans, and the
black, white and Indian people were kept separate. Gandhi developed his policy of
non- violent passive resistance to authority, and was imprisoned several times.
In 1914 he went back to India. He believed that the end of British colonial rule was
inevitable, and he struggled for independence.
Gandhi was so against violence that once he decided to fast unless the fighting stopped.
He spent several periods in prison, but always looked forward to an end to British rule,
and to a united India where Hindus and Moslems could live together in peace.
Questions:
1. When did Gandhi’s struggle against injustice begin?

 When he took a job in South Africa.
2. What policy did he set up for his struggle?

 Policy of non-violent passive resistance to authority.
3. What was an example of his anti-violence viewpoint?

 Once he decided to fast unless the fighting stopped.
4. Did he want the Hindus and the Moslems to live separately?

 No.
IV.
The human race is spread all over the world, from the polar regions to the tropics. The
people of which it is made up eat different kinds of food, partly according to the kind of
food which their countries produced. Thus, in India, people live chiefly on different
kinds of grain, eggs, milk, or sometimes fish and meat.
In Europe, people eat more flesh and less grain. In the Arctic regions, where no grain and
fruits are produced, the Eskimo and other races live almost entirely on flesh, especially
fat. The man of one race is able to eat the food of another race, if they are brought into
the country inhabited by the latter. But as a rule, they still prefer their own food, at least
for a time. In warm climates flesh and fat are not much needed, but in the Arctic
regions they seem to be very necessary for keeping up the heat of the body.
Questions:


1. What kind of food do they eat in Europe?

 In Europe, people eat more flesh and less grain.
2. Why are flesh and fat needed in the Arctic regions?

 Because they seem to be very necessary for keeping up the heat of the
body.

Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa was born in Yugoslavia on August 27 th 1910. She grew up with her brother
and sister in a very happy family, and attended the government school near her home

when she was eighteen. At that time, some missionaries from Yugoslavia were
working in Calcutta, and they often wrote to the school about their job. She decided
to join them.
When she finished school, she went first to Ireland and after that to India, where she
began to train for the religious life. After training, she was sent to Calcutta, where she
taught geography at a high school and eventually became Principal.
However, although she loved teaching, in 1946 Mother Teresa left the school and went to
work in the slums of Calcutta. She did some nursing training in Patna, and then began
her work helping the poor and comforting the dying in the streets of the city.
Gradually, others came to help her, and her work spread to other parts of India.
Mother Teresa was a well-known figure. Dressed in her white and blue sari, she was
photographed all over the world, as she travelled to open many schools and hospitals
in different countries. In 1979, she was awarded the Nobel Prize – a small tribute to
the lifetime of love and service she has given to the poor. She died on September 5,
1997, to the greatest grief of the whole world.
