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 ?

Since there were 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
7
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 (wherever she went,) she was lucky 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.
4. How did she try to show the waiter what she wanted ?

She drew a picture of a mushroom to show him
5. Why did he bring her an umbrella ?

Probably the mushroom she drew looked like an umbrella

I.
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.
9
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?

Louis Braille was born in France
2. How did he become blind?

He became blind by the fact that 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.
3. What gave him the idea for the Braille system?

The messages in secret codes used in the army gave him the idea for the braille system.
4. How old was he when he invented the Braille system?

Louis Braille invented this system when he was only fifteen years old.
5. Are there raised letters in the Braille system?


No, there aren’t.

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 ?

A greenhouse with 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 ?

Scientists call this the greenhouse effect because there is too much carbon dioxide(CO2) in the air. This carbon dioxide lets sunlights
enter the earth’s atmosphere and heat the earth. However, it dose not let sa 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.
4. What changes will this effect make in the earth’s climate ?


This effect will make a lot of major changes in the Earth’s climate such as higher temperature in coastal waters, seriours effect on
agriculture, dry area, decreasing amount of water and decreasing in agricultural.
5. What would the temperature in the Arctic and Antarctic regions be in the year 2040 ?

The temperature wuold in the Arctic and Antarctic regions would be three times in the year 2040.

The controversy surrounding the relationships between and 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 20
th
century in the Western societies ?


It is the controversy surrounding the relationships between and roles of men and women
2. Are American men and women still happy with their traditional role in the family ?

No, they aren’t
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 forty-one 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 ?

An extended family is a big family consisting of many members such as grandparents, great uncles and aunts, parents, aunts and
uncles, children and cousins

2. What is a nuclear family ?


A nuclear family is a small one with only parents and chilren
3. Who takes care of the young and old in an extended family ?

Members such sa parent, Uncles and aunts take care of the young and old in an extended family
4. What is a possible consequence if the relationship between the husband and the wife breaks down

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 ?

2. When can you expect young people to be more talkative than usual ?

3. Why may some teenagers experiment with drinking and smoking ?

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 un 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.

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 ?

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?

SECONDHAND SMOKE
Most people know that cigarette smoking is harmful to their health. Scientific research shows that it causes many kinds of diseases. In fact,
many people who smoke get lung cancer. However, Edward Gilson has lung cancer, and he has never smoked cigarettes. He lives with his
wife, Evelyn, who has smoked about a pack of cigarettes a day throughout their marriage. The Gilsons have been married for 35 years.
No one knows for sure why Mr. Gilson has lung cancer. Nevertheless, doctors believe that secondhand smoke may cause lung cancer
in people who do not smoke. Nonsmokers often breathe in the smoke from other people’s cigarettes. This is secondhand smoke. Edward
Wilson has been breathing this type of smoke for 35 years. Now he is dying of lung cancer. However, he is not alone. The US.
Environmental Protection Agency reports that about fifty-three thousand people die in the United States each year as a result of exposure to
secondhand smoke.
The smoke that comes from a lit cigarette contains many different poisonous chemicals. In the past, scientists did not think that these
chemicals could harm a nonsmoker’s health. Recently, though, scientists changed their opinion after they studied a large group of
nonsmokers. They discovered that even nonsmokers had unhealthy amounts of these toxic chemicals in their bodies. As a matter of fact,
almost all of us breathe tobacco smoke at times, whether we realize it or not. For example, we can not avoid secondhand smoke in
restaurants, hotels, and other public places. Even though many public places have nonsmoking areas, smoke flows in from the areas where
smoking is permitted.
It is even harder for children to avoid secondhand smoke. In the United States, nine million children under the age of five live in homes
with at least one smoker. Research shows that these children are sick more often than children who live in homes where no one smokes.
The damaging effects of secondhand smoke on children also continue as they grow up. The children of smokers are more than twice as
likely to develop lung cancer when they are adults as children of nonsmokers. The risk is even higher for children who live in homes where
both parents smoke.
People are becoming very aware of the danger of secondhand smoke. As a result, they have passed laws that prohibit people from
smoking in many public places. Currently, 45 states in the United States have laws that restrict, or limit, smoking. The most well-known law
forbids people to smoke on short domestic airline flights, i.e., flights within the country.
After smoking for most of her life, Evelyn Gilson has finally quit. She feels that if more people know about the dangers of secondhand
smoke, they will stop, too. Her decision comes too late to help her husband. However, there is still time to protect the health of others,
especially children, who live with smokers.
Questions:
1. What may be a reason why Edward Wilson has lung cancer ?


Probably he has been breathing secondhand smoke from his wife’s smoking during their marriage.
2. What is secondhand smoke ?

It is the smoke from other people’s cigarette smoking.
3. Why might secondhand smoke harm nonsmokers ?

Because it contains many different poisonous chemicals.
4. What are some laws that prohibit smoking in certain places ?

They are laws that prohibit smoking in public places and on short domestic flights.
5. What is the main idea of this passage ?

About the dangers of secondhand smoke

The general opinion abroad is that London has fog or rain or both, everyday of the year, but on the day that I arrived it was fine and warm,

leaves on the trees, and you could smell the spring in the air. “Life is grand”, I thought as I walked in Kensington Gardens. It was a
straight road and I found the way quite easily. When I got my first sight of the Gardens the beauty of it nearly took my breath away.

There are people whose immortality begins from the moment of their death. Hemingway is one of them. He was a great man. The whole
of his creative work was a long struggle, for Hemingway, the man and the writer, had many enemies. Perhaps his great enemy was war. He
hated it with all his heart, with his whole body, in which 28 bullets had left their traces.
Hemingway hated those who made business of war. In an introduction to his novel “A Farewell To Arms”, Hemingway said that wars
started by people who profited from them, and he suggested that those warlike people should be shot on the very first day of war, by
sentence of the people. Hemingway hated fascism. He never surrendered. He fought against it with the pen and the sword.

A World Health Organization team investigating the deadly SARS virus says it is possible there is more than one cause of the illness. The
group, which is meeting with experts in southern China, says it has found evidence that both the bacteria chlamydia and the coronavirus
could be sources of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. Chlamydia is normally transmitted sexually, and the coronavirus is commonly
found in animals. Scientists believe SARS originated in China's Guangdong province, and are racing to find its cause so they can develop a
cure.
On Friday, China issued a public apology for the way it handled early information about the epidemic. The head of the Chinese Center for
Disease Control, Li Leming, admitted there was poor communication between China's medical departments and mass media in providing
timely information about the disease.
SARS has claimed at least 85 lives worldwide, about half of them in China. More than 2500 people are infected in 18 countries. On
Saturday, Hong Kong reports 39 new cases of SARS and three more deaths from the disease.
Malaysia said on Saturday that a man who died six days ago was probably the country's first known victim of SARS. Malaysian officials say
the 64-year-old man, who died in a Kuala Lumpur hospital on Sunday, last visited China and Singapore last month.
Taiwan, Indonesia and the Philippines are among 14 places where suspected cases have been reported, but do not appear in WHO
statistics. Because the disease is being carried around the world by travelers, many governments are advising citizens against visiting
affected areas. In the Asia-Pacific region in particular, governments are imposing strict quarantines and urging citizens to wear face masks.
Questions:

1. According to WHO experts, what could be the sources of SARS ?

community and the villagers are proud of their achievement.
They were furious when education chiefs tried to make them send the village children to other schools further away because the number
of pupils at the village was too small. The villagers started a huge campaign to raise money. They collected enough to hire a teacher

to run in the future.

If you were to stop people in the street and ask them to name a ship that had been sunk, it is likely that nearly all of them would say the
Titanic. For the sinking of the Titanic was, if not the most tragic, certainly the most famous sea disaster in the history of ocean travel.
The Titanic was built as a luxury liner, intended to be the fastest in the world, and a great deal of publicity had surrounded it. The last
point probably explains why so many important people from all walks of life were on the boat when it went down.
The Titanic was on its maiden voyage to America in 1912 when it struck an iceberg and sank. Of its 2,300 passengers, more than two-
thirds were drown. Because the Titanic was thought to be virtually unsinkable, no one was prepared for the tragedy. There was total panic
as very few of the passengers had bothered to learn the necessary drill in the event of trouble. There was severe shortage of lifeboats. The
one point of calm was to be found in the ballroom when the band carried on playing right to the very end.
Questions :
1. What do many people think about the sinking of the Titanic?

They think it was the most famous sea disaster in the history of ocean travel. 1. It was the sinking of the Titatic.
2. Why did the Titanic sink ?

It struck an iceberg
3. Where was it going at that time ?


To America
4. Where was there seemingly no panic when the ship went down ?

In the ballroom where the band carried on playing right to the end.
5. Why were there so many important people on the Titanic on its first voyage ?
22

Because she/the Titanic was built as a luxury liner, intended to be the fastest in the world, and much publicity had surrouunded it

Recently the World Health Organization announced that the disease of smallpox had almost been wiped out in most parts of the world,
thanks to widespread vaccination. Most people are vaccinated at least once in their lives and if they wish to travel from one country to
another they must be able to show a certificate proving that they have had a recent vaccination. In this way the disease has been prevented
from spreading and today one seldom hears of it at all.
This is mainly due to the remarkable discovery made by a country doctor, Edward Jenner, in about 1798 when he published an account
of his experiments in a new method called “vaccination” ( from the Latin word “vacca” meaning a cow ). Jenner discovered that people who
worked with cattle, like milkmaids and cowmen, were often infected with a harmless disease called cowpox which they caught from the
cattle; but these people never seemed to get smallpox. So he experimented by making a scratch on the arms of healthy people infecting
them with cowpox, and though their arms became sore for a day or two, they soon healed and none of these people ever got smallpox.
Soon the news of the wonderful discovery spread abroad and people rushed to their doctors to be vaccinated. In America, at Gibraltar, in
Spain, Egypt and China the simple scratch of the arm was performed on thousands of people, and the terrible smallpox began to disappear.
Questions:
1. In what two ways do most countries guard against the spread of smallpox ?

First, most people are vaccinated at least once in their lives, and second, they must prove that they have had a recent vaccination if
they wish to travel from one country to another.
2. Who was Edward Jenner ?

He was a country doctor who discovered the vaccination against smallpox
3. What is the Latin word for a “cow” ?


“vacca”
4. What harmless disease were cowmen and milkmaids often infected with ?

Cowpox
5. How successful has vaccination against smallpox been ?

The terrible smallpox began to disappear.

Experiments have proved that children can be instructed in swimming at a very early age. At a swimming pool in Los Angeles, children
become expert at holding their breath under water even before they can walk. Babies of two months old do not appear to be reluctant to
enter the water. It is not long before they are so accustomed to swimming that they can pick up weights from the floor of the pool. A game
that is very popular with these young swimmers is the underwater tricycle race. Tricycles are lined up on the floor of the pool seven feet
under water. The children compete against each other to reach the other end of the pool. Many pedal their tricycles but most of them prefer
to push or drag them. Some children can cover the whole length of the pool without coming up for breath even once. Whether they will ever
become future Olympic champions, only time will tell. Meanwhile, they should encourage those among us who can not swim five yards
before they are gasping for air.
Questions :
1. At what age can children be taught to swim ?

At a very early age
2. Are children of two months old willing to enter the water ?


3. What popular game do these young swimmers play ?

Environmental pollution is a term that refers to all the ways by which man pollutes his surroundings. Man dirties the air with gases and
smoke, poisons the water with chemicals and other substances, and damages the soil with too many fertilizers and pesticides. Man also
pollutes his surroundings in various other ways. Besides, people ruin natural beauty by junk and litter on the land and in the water. They
operate machines and motor vehicles that fill the air with disturbing noise.
Environmental pollution is one of the most serious problems facing mankind today. Air, water, and soil are necessary to the survival of all
living things. Badly polluted air can cause illness and even death. Polluted water kills fish and other marine life. Pollution of soil reduces the
amount of land that is available for growing food. Environmental pollution also brings ugliness to man’s naturally beautiful world.
