1 ElNiñooriginatesintheAtlanticOcean. T F2 Itischangingthenormaldistributionofwetanddryweather. T F3 ItproduceslargehurricanesintheAtlantic. T F4 Itcancausedroughts. T F

El Niño and La Niña both originate in the Pacific Ocean, but they are

affecting the global climate. El Niño is the result of very warm water in the equatorial Pacific. La Niña is a result of very cold water in the same region. These two conditions often alternate.

During El Niño, the distribution of dry and wet weather changes radically, especially along the Pacific coasts of the American continent. It rains a lot in normally dry regions, and there are

sometimes terrible floods. Other regions suffer from abnormally dry conditions.

La Niña can produce severe Atlantic hurricanes. These are sometimes very destructive, like Hurricane Mitch in 1999. La Niña can also affect the weather in Australia, Indonesia, and southern Africa, with extreme storms and floods. Meteorologists are studying these ‘Terrible Twins’ so they can prepare for possible future disasters.

THE TERRIBLE TWINS:EL NIÑO AND LA NIÑA

Variety and Balance for a Healthy DietTo look and feel good, you need

a balanced diet. For example,

some people think it’s bad to eat

carbohydrates, fat, or sugar. In fact,

you need all kinds of foods, including

fat. The food triangle shows what to eat

every day. At the base of the triangle,

and at the base of a good diet, are

carbohydrates – bread, cereal, rice,

and pasta. Carbohydrates are low in fat

and they give you energy. Eat six to ten

servings of these a day.Next on the triangle are fruit and

vegetables. These give you vitamins and

they have antioxidants. Antioxidants

can protect you from cancer and other

serious health problems. Eat three or

four servings of vegetables and two to

four servings of fruit every day.

For calcium and protein, eat two or

three servings of dairy products – milk,

cheese, or yogurt – every day. These

foods maintain strong bones and normal

blood pressure.Protein also comes from meats, fish,

beans, eggs, and nuts. These foods promote

muscle development and protect you

from anemia. Eat two or three servings

of these high-protein foods every day.

Finally, at the top of the triangle are fat,

oil, and sugar. Don’t eat big quantities of

these foods, but don’t eliminate them from

your diet. Fats help transport vitamins in

your body, and sugar gives you energy.

In the 8th century, in Baghdad, there lived a wise

ruler, who wanted his subjects to be treated fairly

and with justice. To make sure this happened he often

dressed in old clothes and walked through the streets

and bazaars of the city. Disguised as a beggar he listened

to what his people said and watched to see how people

behaved.One evening he disguised himself and went for a walk

through the streets. He was very pleased to see that

everything was calm and that people appeared to be

happy. As he crossed a bridge that led back to the palace,

he was stopped by a blind man. The blind man asked him

for a coin. He gave him a coin and then the blind man asked

the ruler to hit him. He didn’t want to hit the blind man

and said so. The blind man was very upset and so he gave

the coin back.

The next day the ruler sent for the blind man and had

him brought in front of him. He told the blind man who he

was and asked him to explain why he wanted to be hit.

The blind man said that when he was a young man he was

greedy and as a result he became blind. To remind him of

why he was blind he wanted to be punished when someone

gave him any gold.

The ruler sat for a short time and then decided that

the blind man was a good man and that after all these

years he should not suffer any longer. So he told the blind

man he had been punished enough, and he sent him coins

for his food and drink every day.

ZHENG HESix centuries ago, half a century before the first Europeans, 300 giant ships crossed the sea

from China and then went west to Arabia, and East Africa. The fleet had ships with food,

water tankers, ships with silk and porcelain, and patrol boats to warn them of pirates. In total,

there were more than 27,000 sailors and soldiers.

DETAILS OF ZHENG HE’S VOYAGES

On his first trip in 1403, Zheng He visited Vietnam. On his return, he battled pirates. In 1414,

Zheng He went to the Persian Gulf and brought back a giraffe as a gift to the emperor.

Zheng He then went to eastern Africa. Landing at Somalia on the coast, he traded and then put

on board his ships: lions, leopards, ostriches, and zebras. Back in China officials congratulated

Zheng He. They were amazed at the animals he brought back with him to China.

I met Paul on the first day of elementary school, when I

was six. We didn’t become best friends immediately; it was

exactly the opposite – I really disliked him!

I was wearing new clothes because it was the first day

of school. At lunch time, Paul ran into me and spilled orange

juice all over me. I was really angry!

After elementary school, I didn’t see him for a very

long time. I moved from Seattle to Los Angeles to study.

Then one day, when I was 18, I was in the cafeteria at the

university. Suddenly, someone behind me spilled tea on me

– it was Paul! He said, “I’m sorry” about ten times.

But he didn’t see that it was me. “Paul, it’s me!”

I said. He looked at me. “Todd?” We both started to laugh.

I immediately liked him. After that, we started talking on

the phone and chatting on the Internet. We became good

friends.

Three years later, we both graduated from university

and returned to Seattle. Now we’re best friends – for life!

How are you?

(1) I can’t believe it! Six months in Canada

and now I’m going home to Beirut!! I’m very sad to leave Vancouver and all

my friends.

(2) ____________________________ – a new country, language,

customs, and culture. But I learned a lot and it was a happy time, too.

At first, I didn’t understand anything. I didn’t speak very much because

I was afraid people would laugh at me. But I could write and read, and my

grammar was OK. (3)

I stopped worrying about making mistakes. The best thing I did was to join a

sports club. No one spoke Arabic so I had to speak English!

(4) I’m going to buy a good grammar book and

dictionary. I can buy English newspapers and books in Beirut so I can read. I

also want to write to you, too! But what can I do to improve my listening and

speaking?

Andrew, I have to go now.

Lesson 2 Activate your English

Some of the main tourist attractions

are the Golden Gate Bridge,

Fisherman’s Wharf, and Chinatown.

Tourists also love the colorful

Victorian-style houses, and they

think riding the famous cable cars is

a lot of fun. But what do San Franciscans do for

fun? They usually don’t go to tourist

places like Fisherman’s Wharf.

They go across the Golden Gate

to a small, beautiful town called

Sausalito, or they eat and shop at

small places that only locals know

about! San Francisco is a very

international city, with ethnic

groups from all over the world. The

biggest group from one country

is the Chinese, but there are also

people from every Spanish-speaking

country. Aside from English,

Chinese and Spanish are the

most common languages spoken.

So visit San Francisco and enjoy

beautiful scenery, great food, and

an international atmosphere!

One of the most beautiful and interesting

cities in the U.S. is San Francisco. The

city is on a bay on the northern coast of

California, and tall hills give spectacular

views of the city and the bay.

b Now read the article and check your answers.

c In groups, talk about the advantages and disadvantages of telecommuting. Try to add ideas to the ones in the article.

A: You have flexible working hours. B: Yes, but you don’t have much contact with your colleagues.

Intoday’sworld,manycompaniesarechangingthistraditionalwayofworking. More and more people are “telecommuters”. This means that they do not commute to an office every day; they work from home. This is possible, of course, because there are now many forms of telecommunications technology like the Internet, the fax machine, and telephone conferencing.

Whataretheadvantagesoftelecommuting?Imagineyouareatelecommuterandyourneighborworksforamoretraditionalcompany. Your day is very different from your neighbor’s day! When he is leaving for the office at 7:00 a.m., you’re getting up. He is sitting in traffic at 7:30, and you’re drinking a cup of coffee and checking your e-mail. At 8:00, when your neighbor is arriving at the office, you’re having breakfast. After that, you begin your day’s work. You send several reports by e-mail, and then you have a teleconference with colleagues in Canada

and Italy. At lunchtime, you aren’t very hungry, so you decide to continue working. You work until about 4:00 p.m., check your e-mail for the last time, and go to the park for a run. At 6:00 p.m., you’re watching the news on TV when your neighbor arrives home.

Ofcourse,somepeopledon’tlikeworkingfromhome. One disadvantage of telecommuting is that there isn’t much personal contact with colleagues and other people. Working from home can be a little lonely!

John Matthews: “I live (1)_______________.

I really like it because I meet a lot of nice people there. Also, it’s on campus, so it’s near the libraries and classrooms. We have some supervision, of course, but we also have a lot of independence – not like living at home. And I don’t have to shop for food or cook! Of course, it’s a little expensive, and some of my friends say I can’t really learn about the ‘real world’ here. But it’s fine.”

Faisal Khalil: “Well, I live (2)______________.

I guess I’m less independent than some of my friends, but I want to save money to go to Europe next summer. Also, I have a lot of time to study because I don’t have to worry about things like shopping, cooking, and cleaning.”

Kevin Fisher: “I love living (3)________________.

My roommates are my two best friends. It’s a little expensive, but I have a part-time job to help pay for it. I love being independent and learning to be responsible for myself. Of course, there are some disadvantages. I don’t see my family every day, and I have to shop, cook, and clean.”

Before you decide where to live, consider the advantages and disadvantages of all the lifestyles. Consider your preferences and personality. Talk about the options with your family.

Students have to make many decisions – which college to choose, which major to choose, etc. One of their most important decisions is where to live. The three most common options are living at home, living in a college dormitory, or living in a house or apartment with friends. We interviewed three students about the advantages and disadvantages of each lifestyle.

is good for you.

In the modern world relaxing can be very difficult. Particularly in cities, people live their lives very fast. There’s just no time to relax! At college, students are under pressure to pass their exams. At work, people are under pressure to succeed. But we must all find times to relax and have fun. What can you do about it?

Here are some ideas: do regular exercise. This can be your favorite sport, or just walking fast for 15 minutes a day. And don’t say “I’m too tired and I haven’t the time.” Exercise even when you are tired – and find the time. Try to spend a little time every week with friends. Talk with them and listen to them. And finally, make time just to sit and be quiet. It makes a lot of difference!
