Speed dating 1Read the first paragraph of the article and answer the questions. a What is speed dating? _______________ _______ ________________ ________________ ________________ ________________ _______________ ________ b Where did speed dating start? _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ c How much time have you got to talk to each person?___________________________ person?___________________________ 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 seven minutes 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, 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 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!

2 Read the rest of the article. Write true (T) or false (F). Correct the false sentences. a If you want to take part in speed dating, go to the venue and register. F – You must register on the web site first. _______________________________________________ _______________________ ____________________________________________ ____________________ b After seven minutes, you can stay with the same person if you like him or her. _______________________________________________ _______________________ ____________________________________________ ____________________ c You can give someone your phone number and address. _______________________________________________ _______________________ ____________________________________________ ____________________ d If you like someone, you tell the organizers. _______________________________________________ _______________________ ____________________________________________ ____________________ e You You can’t take part in speed dating if you are nineteen. _______________________________________________ _______________________ ____________________________________________ ____________________ f You can take a friend with you when you go speed dating. _______________________________________________ _______________________ ____________________________________________ ____________________ g If you don’t go to the venue, the organizers will punish you. _______________________________________________ _______________________ ____________________________________________ ____________________

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 four years old, he showed a love for music, and his father began to teach him to play the piano and violin. As a young man Beethoven began to lose his hearing, and some years later became totally deaf. But he still continued to compose music. 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 fever and lost her sight and hearing; she was left in a dark, soundless world. Anne Sullivan came to teach Helen to communicate. 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 eventually attended Radcliffe College. Born in 1945 in Israel, Itzhak Perlman is one of the world’s greatest violinists. He became sick with polio at the age of four and his legs were permanently paralyzed. Nevertheless, he began his music career at the Tel-Aviv Academy of Music. Mr. Pearlman has won many awards and has played with every major orchestra in events all over the world. He performs his music while seated and walks with crutches. He is a well-known advocate for people with disabilities. Stephen Hawking is a Mathematics professor at Cambridge University. He became famous in 1988 when he wrote A Brief History of Time. The book tries to explain how the universe began. Professor Hawking is almost totally paralyzed as a result of a motor neurone disease and he uses a voice synthesizer to speak. His brain, however, is as active as ever. He is still writing today.

1 Read the text — it is a true story! Then correct the sentences below that are false. 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 was there 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 few good friends from school. “We used to get together sometimes in the evenings. Our favorites were the shows where real people go on and talk about their lives … and their loves. Sometimes they even start fighting. It’s crazy.” One day, one of Mandy’s friends told her that they had tickets to see their favorite show — Oprah — being recorded in the studio. “I was so excited I couldn’t sit still in the studio. When Oprah asked the audience if anybody could do anything a bit strange, I shouted: I can make animal noises! Well I can — 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 offers of work from five different stations! Now she works in Hollywood interviewing famous people 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!”

6.4 6. 4 Reading and writing 1 Match these questions with the texts. a Why do some zodiac signs have more days than others? __ 5 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 stars appear to be in groups—might be important. 2 Several of these constellations are in the zodiac and are represented by symbols. People thought that the changing positions of the constellations at different times of the year affected people 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 the Earth orbits the Sun, the imaginary line would rotate, pointing to different stars throughout one complete orbit, which takes one year. 4 The Babylonians lived over 3,000 years ago. They divided their year into twelve months because of the Moon. So they divided the zodiac into twelve equal parts—like cutting a pizza into twelve equal slices—and each month got a slice of the zodiac all to itself. 5 According According to the Babylonians’ own ancient stories, there were thirteen constellations constellations in the zodiac. The Babylonians picked one, Ophiuchus, to leave out. But the constellations are different sizes 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 constellations in the zodiac—it all depends on the different parts of the world! Maybe the Babylonians just didn’t like the number thirteen. It is unlucky, you know …

2 Now match these ideas to the paragraphs they describe best. a ___ 4 The Babylonians wanted wanted to make their zodiac the same as their year. year. b ___ It’s a bit like like a very 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 People interpret interpret things in different ways all over the world. world. f ___ Science was quite simple simple in the past. People watched watched things and had ideas.

I still don’t know how you escaped! BM: Well, that’s a secret, and I’m not going to tell you after all these years. AC: But my plan was so perfect. My right hand man, Jack “Machine Gun” McGurn had planned everything. BM: Yes, your men had convinced me to go to a warehouse in North Clark Street in Chicago. We thought we could get some illegal whisky. I should have known the price was too good to be true! AC: Well, you fell for the trick—perhaps you were a little too greedy in those days. And my men were waiting for you … BM: Yes, I admit it was a good plan. They were all dressed as policemen, and my men thought they were going to be arrested because of the whisky. But instead your men shot all my men—seven of them. AC: And all the time I was on the beach in Miami! BM: Yes, the police never arrested anyone, but I knew it was you! AC: OK, I admit it was me. So, now are you going to tell me how you got away? BM: Let’s just say I’m glad the traffic was bad that morning ... Who says … a the weather was very bad?

But did you know that the idea of “Big Brother” comes from the novel 1984 by George Orwell, that was written in 1947. Big Brother was the name of an unknown figure who ruled the world. “1984” describes a society where everyone and everything is totally controlled, even your thoughts! The planet in “1984” is divided into three countries: Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia. Big Brother and his political party controls the whole world. There are two-way televisions in everyone’s house and cameras on the streets, so that Big Brother can see what you are doing every single moment. These televisions cannot be turned off and they send out the constant propaganda messages of the Party. The three slogans of the Party are War War is peace, peace, Freedom Freedom is slavery and Ignorance is strength. strength. But the most feared of all government agencies is the “Thought Police.” The worst crime 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 of 1984 in your library or bookstore?

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, Massachusetts, was asked to make up an indoor game to keep athletes athletes busy during the long winters. Legend has it that, after he wrote the rules for the new sport, he nailed a peach basket onto the gym wall. Basketball soon became popular all over the world. It was first included in the Olympic Games in 1936, and women's basketball basketball was added in 1976. Basketball is played by two teams of five players who score points by throwing a ball into the opposing team's basket. 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 refers to running while continuously bouncing the ball. The only essential equipment in basketball basketball is the court, which consists of two baskets with backboards, and a basketball (Basketball was originally played with a soccer ball.) At competition level, clocks are necessary to regulate game time. A referee and umpires called officials, control the game. The The officials call fouls and violations and oversee substitutions, substitutions, timeouts, and other details. An attempt to unfairly disadvantage an opponent through personal contact is illegal and is called 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 at one time. Players can be substituted during the game. The ball cannot be kicked or struck with the fist or go out of the court. Traveling is a violation; it means to run with the ball without dribbling. Also, the ball can only be dribbled with one hand at a time. Blocking, charging, hacking and holding are considered fouls. They involve unfair personal contact with the opponent. If a player commits a foul the opposing team is awarded one or more free shots.
