Choose the most suitable heading for each paragraph

THE TRUTH ABOUT LYING
1 Knowing the good from the bad 6 The worst kind?
2 Different categories 7 Both sides benefit
3 A difficult distinction 8 How to hear lies
4 Why we need to lie 9 Visual signs
5 Learnt then forbidden 10 Not your responsibility
A
Can you imagine a whole day without telling lies? ‘Yes, of course,’ most people would answer, but then they’ve probably forgotten all those little lies that are said so easily — ‘This is delicious.’, ‘You look lovely in that shirt.’, ‘I’d love to come with you.’, etc. Lying is a way of making life run more smoothly.
B
We are told not to lie from the moment we learn how to do it. According to psychologist Catherine Brown, this is at the age of about four when children realise they can deceive people. We are not born liars.
C
In childhood, the line between imagination and lying is often not clear. Children are praised for creative imagination, but generally criticised for hiding the truth.

D
As adults we have definite ideas about which kind of lies are OK and which are not. Very often the reason for lie is the important thing in accepting or rejecting the lie.
E
Generally speaking there are three types of lies, and liars. The first sort of liar wants to please people, the second wants to protect him or herself, the third sort doesn’t care about other people and lies to get what he or she wants.
F
If someone is fishing for compliments and you tell them what they want to hear, you probably think it’s a ‘kind’ lie. However, you get something as a result of this lie — affection, friendship, peace and quiet.
G
When you lie for self-protection, the reason is clearer. To explain your lateness, you tell your boss the train was cancelled, not that you overslept. You cannot be blamed for being late, because you are not responsible for the ‘behaviour’ of the train and the consequences.
H
The third sort of lie could be more dangerous. It is, for example, the kind that people tell in order to climb up the ladder at work, without caring who gets hurt in the process.
I
But what about being lied to? Can you spot when someone is telling you a lie? Apparently there are some verbal clues — lots of ums and ahs — and liars take longer to answer a question. They also speak faster but don’t always give the right amount of detail.
J
And then there’s body language. Experts say there are certain things that can help identify someone who’s not telling the truth. Speaking through their fingers and putting their hands over the face is one. Playing with their hair or clothes and being unable to stay still for any length of time is another. But the truth of the matter is that we all lie at some time, and if anyone tells you they don’t, they’re lying.

Task 2

Match headings A-H to texts 1-7 choose the best heading A-H. There is one heading you will not need to use. Write the answers on your answer sheet.

A. UNUSUAL RELATIONSHIPS E. IMPORTANT MOMENTS

B. SIMILAR CHARACTERISTICS F. MISTAKEN BELIEFS

C. DIFFICULT PERIODS G. MANY RESPONSIBILITIES

D. TWO TYPES H. HOME ALONE

In Britain? Most families are “nuclear families”. This means that the family consists of the parents and children. Of course, there are uncles and aunts and grandparents, too, but they do not have much to do with raising the children and often live a long way away. In many other countries, the “extended family” is more common. With the extended family, uncles, aunts and grandparents live closer to the parents and children – sometimes even in the same building – and everyone in the family has a much closer relationship.
Most teenagers say at some point; “When I’m a parent, I’m going to give my children much more freedom than I have now.” When they do actually become parents however, they soon realize that giving a child or teenager lots of freedom is not always the best thing to do. Many parents end up hearing their children saying to them exactly the same things they said to their parents when they were young.
What does bringing up a child involve? Giving a child love and making a child feel safe in their environment are extremely important. So is providing food and warmth. Parents also have a duty to teach their children the differences between right and wrong, and to make sure their children get a good education. Some parents believe that their role is also to teach children about the importance of things such as family, religion and society.
The English phrases “a chip off the old block” and “like father, like son” (or “like mother, like daughter”) are used to show the similarities between a parent and their child. These might be similarities in terms of appearance, behavior or interests. For example, if a dad loves watching cricket and his son Eric becomes interested in cricket, too, you might say. “Eric’s a chip off the old block, isn’t he?”
“Latchkey kids” are a major problem in many countries, including Britain and the USA, These are children whose parents are still at work when they come home from school, so there is no one at home to look after them. Their parents aren’t there to help with their homework, and some of them spend hours on their own before their parents’ return.
The idea of “quality time” is based on an understanding that the amount of time a parent spends with their child is not the only important thing. What is also important is what they do together during that time. Ten minutes of discussing problems that a teenager is facing may be much more valuable than two hours of watching a movie together in silence.
Families work well when things are going well, but the real test of a family comes at times of stress. Perhaps Mum has been working too hard, or perhaps young Amy is taking exams at school. These are times when all the families can find themselves fighting instead of helping each other. When a family is going through a crisis like this, it can often help to talk to someone outside the family. It could either be an expert, such as a family counselor, or a trusted family friend

Task 3

People have always affected Nature. But during the last two centuries due to the development of industry human has transformed the environment radically. Satellite observations of the Earth have revealed that 60 per cent of land surface is damaged by industrial agricultural and other human activities.

The world has over 9 million square km of forests. This is a lot of trees, and also a lot of different species of trees. But they are disappearing fast. In many of our towns there are streets or areas where the names remind us that forests have been cleared to make place for us to live. Every day we see paper and cardboard – both made from wood – being used up. We see different kinds of wood being used in furniture and in other ways. Every year over 100,000 sq. km of forest is badly damaged that it is very hard for it to recover.

At this rate, by the time you are as old as your grandparents are now; all the forests on earth could be destroyed. In fact, the rate of destruction is increasing, so in only just over thirty years there will be very little forest left in most areas. This includes rainforests in Madagascar, Ecuador, Amazonia, Cameroon, the Himalayas and the Philippines.

Development of industries often means the destruction of the natural habitat of rare plants and insects. The power stations in the UK are responsible for causing acid rain not only in Britain but elsewhere in Europe. More than 450 mln of Britain’s these are affected by acid rain.

The world is also experiencing a permanent decline in water quality and water availability. In a lot of places water supplies are poisoned with toxic chemicals and nitrates. Waterborne disease kill 10 million people a year.

Can we preserve the life? Can we preserve the quality of life necessary for future generations? When we are sick we try to take care of ourselves. There is nobody but us, humans, to take care of the Earth that is sick because of our actions. Can we do something? YES, we can. And we are the only life form that is able to destroy our life support system. But we are sensible beings and we can maintain life Earth for the many generations to come.

1. The environment is spoiled because of __________ .

A. the mismanagement in history and agriculture.

3. All the forests on Earth can disappear __________ .

А. except the rainforests.

В. if the rate of destruction increases.

С. if your grandparents don’t solve this problem.

French doctors test woman for bird flu

after trip to Turkey

French doctors were carrying out tests last night to establish whether a 32-year-old woman had caught bird flu during a holiday in Turkey.

The National Institute of Health Awareness (INVS) confirmed: "It is a case of suspected bird flu, given the symptoms and the fact that she saw dead birds during her travels in a country affected by episodes of bird flu".

"Samples taken from the nose and throat are undergoing tests for the virus H5N1 at a laboratory in Marseille", said an INVS spokesperson.

The French health ministry said the woman, who was travelling alone, had complained of feeling ill after returning from a two-week visit to her family in the Tarsus region of Turkey.

She went to the emergency department of a hospital in Sete on Saturday but was later transferred to Montpellier for specialist treatment. Last night the French health ministry insisted that the response to the suspected case was routine.

Amid fears that the virus may have spread across a third of the country, Turkish authorities have slaughtered more than a million birds.

Yesterday a team of US government scientists visited the city of Van in eastern Turkey where the children died, to assess what help Washington can provide.

The delegation was also scheduled to visit Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia.

On Friday the Turkish government accused several of its neighbours of concealing bird flu outbreaks and hampering efforts to prevent the spread of the disease.

Turkey has reported possible H5N1 outbreaks in poultry in 26 provinces, including areas bordering Azerbaijan, Armenia, Iran, Iraq, Syria and Georgia.

The four-year-old boy and his 13-year-old sister died in Java. But laboratory test results confirming they had contracted bird flu were not released until yesterday. The children"s father and one of their sisters are also in hospital with flu-like symptoms.

All the victims appear to have contracted the disease after close contact with infected poultry, and health officials say that so far there is no evidence that the virus can be transmitted from human to human.

____________________________________________________________

A. So far the area has not reported any cases of bird flu.

B. Turkey did not name the countries it believes are covering up infections.

C. Since 2003, 81 people have died from bird flu in Turkey and eastern Asia.

D. It added, however, that the woman had had no direct contact with any birds and initial tests for H5N1, the deadly bird flu virus, had proved negative.

E. Authorities in Azerbaijan have tightened sanitary controls on the frontier to prevent the spread of bird flu.

F. Yesterday it emerged that two Indonesian children from the same family died from bird flu last week, bringing the country"s toll from the virus to 14.

G. The woman, who complained of having fever and breathing difficulties, has been placed in isolation and is being treated with the antiviral drug Tamiflu at a hospital in Montpellier, south-eastern France.

H. The H5N1 virus was initially detected in birds in Turkey in October, and the first humans to be infected there were reported a fortnight ago. Twenty-one people have since tested positive, and four children have died.

In Britain? Most families are “nuclear families”. This means that the family consists of the parents and children. Of course, there are uncles and aunts and grand parents, too, but they do not have much to do with raising the children and often live a long way away. In many other countries, the “extended family” is more common. With the extended family, uncles, aunts and grandparents live closer to the parents and children – sometimes even in the same building – and everyone in the family has a much closer relationship.
Most teenagers say at some point; “When I’m a parent, I’m going to give my children much more freedom than I have now.” When they do actually become parents however, they soon realize that giving a child or teenager lots of freedom is not always the best thing to do. Many parents end up hearing their children saying to them exactly the same things they said to their parents when they were young.
What does bringing up a child involve? Giving a child love and making a child feel safe in their environment are extremely important. So is providing food and warmth. Parents also have a duty to teach their children the differences between right and wrong, and to make sure their children get a good education. Some parents believe that their role is also to teach children about the importance of things such as family, religion and society.
The English phrases “a chip off the old block” and “like father, like son” (or “like mother, like daughter”) are used to show the similarities between a parent and their child. These might be similarities in terms of appearance, behavior or interests. For example, if a dad loves watching cricket and his son Eric becomes interested in cricket, too, you might say. “Eric’s a chip off the old block, isn’t he?”
“Latchkey kids” are a major problem in many countries, including Britain and the USA, These are children whose parents are still at work when they come home from school, so there is no one at home to look after them. Their parents aren’t there to help with their homework, and some of them spend hours on their own before their parents’ return.
The idea of “quality time” is based on an understanding that the amount of time a parent spends with their child is not the only important thing. What is also important is what they do together during that time. Ten minutes of discussing problems that a teenager is facing may be much more valuable than two hours of watching a movie together in silence.
Families work well when things are going well, but the real test of a family comes at times of stress. Perhaps Mum has been working too hard, or perhaps young Amy is taking exams at school. These are times when all the families can find themselves fighting instead of helping each other. When a family is going through a crisis like this, it can often help to talk to someone outside the family. It could either be an expert, such as a family counselor, or a trusted family friend

Why You Feel Under the Weather.

Most of us casually tune in to the weather forecast to find out whether we should take an umbrella to work, or if we should go to the football match. But perhaps we should listen more carefully, because the day’s weather could seriously affect how we feel. Of course, we mostly feel good when the sun shines and subdued when it rains. But scientists and doctors are starting to realize that cold weather can bring not just low temperatures but also depression and anxiety. Growing numbers of people are being diagnosed as weather-sensitive, with some experts estimating (17)…..

The hazards of hot climates are well known. When we head for holidays in the tropics we know (18)…. . It comes as a surprise to learn (19)…. . Weather-related symptoms can be far more severe than we traditionally associate with inclement weather, such as headaches and muscular pain. Of course, sufferers from rheumatism have long complained (20)…. More dangerously a cold snap can bring on fatal heart attacks and strokes in the elderly. In Britain there are far more deaths a week in the winter than in the summer. It is generally accepted (21) …. . Asthma, allergies and some psychological conditions are all markedly affected by changes in the weather. The most dramatic cases occur on the warm dry days when the sky is filled with low clouds. In these conditions some people go from excellent health to marked illness in a matter of minutes. And amazingly, a few people are so acutely weather-sensitive (22)…. .

1. Qigong is an excellent way of treating disease. It consists of a system of meditative exercises which involve standing in various postures for half an hour per day, and carrying out simple movements and breathing exercises.

Qigong reduces stress, improves circulation, and helps strengthen the immune system.

2. Basketball is a popular game in America. Only five people play on each team. One American basketball team, the Harlem Globetrotters,are famous all over the world. These extraordinary sportsmen, all very tall, have shown the world that sport can be funny as well as exciting. Many unusual sports are popular nowadays – parachuting, karate, different kinds of dance, but traditional sports are still just as much fun.

3. There are two types of exercise: anaerobic and aerobic. Football and squash are anaerobic exercises, you move suddenly and quickly. They make your muscles stronger but they don’t help your heart very much. Swimming and running are aerobic exercises. In aerobic exercises you move constantly.

4. Risky or extreme sports are one of the fastest-growing leisure activities. Dare-devils try anything from organized bungee jumps to illegally jumping off buildings. These people never feel so alive as when they are risking their lives. In their quest for the ultimate sensation, thrill-seekers are thinking up more and more elaborate and dangerous sports.

5. The first of sports invented by the British is a long one. It includes football, golf, badminton, lawn tennis, cricket, rugby, squash, billiards and snooker. In Britain today, sport is almost a national obsession. Sport occupies 40% of the news pages of the popular newspaper. Many British people are more interested in sport than anything else.

6. Physical education should not be optional as it is an important part of the school curriculum. In these lessons all children learn how to interact with each other, which is a vital skill in later life. Also, sport in schools gives less academic students the opportunity to do something well. Furthermore, physical education is essential for children who live in towns and cities as it difficult for them to find safe places to exercise during their leisure times.

7. It takes a combination of qualities to become a professional athlete. The most important of these is determination, which is what gives them the power to succeed. The other qualities tend to depend on the type of sport. For example, while a long distance runner need stamina and lean body, a shot put thrower need pure physical strength and body mass.
