It was a white clapboard house with black shutters and a big screened porch atop a shady hill on the best side of town, My sister and brother were considerably older than I— sister by ix years, my brother by adults from my perspective. They wete big enough tobe seldom around for most of my childhood. For the first few years of my life, I shared a small bedroom with my brother. We got along fine. My brother had constant colds and allegies, and owned atleast four hundred cotton handkerchiefs, which he devotedly filled with great honks and then pushed into any convenient resting place — under the mattress, between sofa cushions, behind the curtains. When | was nine he left fr college andalife as journalist in New York City, never to return permanently, and [had the room to myself after that. But I was stil finding his handkerchiefs when I was in high school ‘The only downside of my mother's working was that it put a little pressure on her with regard to running the hhome and particularly with regard to dinner, which frankly ne ~ and so were effectively fee 25 _ was not her strong suit anyway. My mother always ran late and was dangerously forgetful into the bargain. You soon learned to stand aside at about ten to six every evening, for it 1was then that she would flyin the back door, throw something in the oven, and disappear into some other quarter of the house to embark on the thousand other household tasks that greeted her each evening. In consequence she nearly always forgot about dinner until a point slightly beyond way too late. Asa rule you knew it was time to eat when you could hear potatoes exploding in the oven. ‘Weedidnitcallit the kitchen in our house, We called itthe . by Bill Bryson Ws a bit burned) my mother would say apologetically at every meal, presenting you with a piece of meat that looked like something ~ a much-loved pet pethaps — salvaged from a tragic house fie But I think I seraped off most of the burned part; she ‘would add, overlooking that this included every bit of it that had ‘once been flesh. Happily allthis suited my father: Hispalate only responded to two tastes ~ burned and ice cream — so everything was fine by him so long as it was sufficiently dark and not too startin flavourful. Theirs truly was a marriage made in heaven, for no one could burn food like my mother or eat it like my dae. ‘As part of her job atthe Des Moines Register (the local newspaper) my mother bought stacks of housekeeping magazines ~ House Beautiful, House and Garden, Better Homes and Gardens, Good Housekeeping ~ and 1 read these with a certain avidity, partly because they were always lying around and in our house all idle moments were spent reading something, and partly because they depicted lives so absorbingly at variance with our own. The housewives depicted in my mother's magazines were so collected, so organized, so calmly on top of things, and their food was perfect — their lives were perfect, They dressed up to take their food out of the oven! There were no black circles on the ceiling above thei stoves, no mutating goo climbing over the side oftheir forgotten saucepans. Children didnt have to be ordered to stand back every time they opened their oven doors.

Keith James is a leading researcher for ‘What a Waste’, an international study of waste and its global impact. eee eee ee ee ‘rubbish’ job (get it?), and at times, I almost agree. As part of my research, I have spent days ‘wading through rotting food and other deeply unpleasant items. Once, I had to visit an overflowing underground sewer. Several days passed before I could wash the stench out of my hair! So why do I do what I do? Well, I strongly believe that waste is one of the greatest environmental problems facing us today. It might surprise you to learn that the largest man-made structure ever built is not the Great Wall of China.[ 4 | _ ] This rubbish ump grew to be 12 kilometres wide, and 25 metres higher than the Statue of Liberty. Shockingly, this is only the biggest collection of rubbish ever to be established on land. Next month, I'm taking some time out from my studies in order to go sailing in the Pacific Ocean. But don’t feel jealous - I’m going there to fish for litter! Between Hawaii and California there floats an island of rubbish which is bigger than Spain. For the time g, this ‘island’ is held together by swirling ocean currents, but scientists are concerned that it may eventually spread throughout the Pacific. [2 By the end of my month at sea I'll have transported several boatloads of this disgusting mess back to shore. Afterwards, I'l be working with a team of other scientists to sort through it, before disposing of it more safely. It will be a depressing task, but not, I hope, a waste of time. According to the UN Environment Programme, ‘ocean refuse kills more than a million seabirds and 100,000 animals annually, and poisons many more, [4[__]Onty time will tell what the long-term effects of this pollution might be. However, all meat and fish eaters are potentially at risk, as the poisons in the refuse will eventually be passed along the food chain. The problem of waste is undoubtedly very serious, but changing people's attitudes is proving difficult. ‘We are living today in a throwaway society. [ Depressingly, this figure is still growing. We've covered the planet in rubbish dumps, and we've even managed to pollute the rest of the solar system! According to the European Space Agency in Tenerife, there are currently more than 600,000 pieces of rubbish orbiting the globe. Many are fragments of old satellites, but ESA researchers have also found tools, pens and even CDs, all discarded by untidy astronauts. If aliens ever do decide to visit planet Earth, they'll have to navigate through a lot of litter to get here! ‘Whether on land, in the oceans or in space, the problem of rubbish has developed into a crisis in recent years. [6 |__| But many modern items will not break down. Plastic objects may take thousands of years to degrade, and electrical goods can last for thousands more However, this dim state of affairs could have a rosier future. If we all work together, we can make areal difference. [7] __] Only buy what you need, reuse and recycle when you can, and think carefully before you throw anything away. You might just save the planet! Work in pairs. Write a 50-100 word dialogue between a researcher at the ESA and a reporter interested in the ESA's work (see paragraph 6 in the article).

If you believe the hype, they're highly addictive and almost ‘as dangerous as cigarettes or alcohol. Features on gaming dwell on the horror stories ~ the players who stare at a monitor for days, weeks or months at a time, barely pausing to sleep or eat, never mind study or socialise. Mistakenly convinced that gaming ruins grades and lives, parents and teachers then demand that teenagers immediately put down their joysticks and switch off their computers. Some even call for all games to be banned! But is this concern really justified? Gaming is a hugely popular hobby, with millions of players worldwide. Surely not all of these people are hopeless addicts and loners? Helen Mackay is one player who contradicts the stereotype. She is both ahigh-fiying student at a prestigious US university, and a site administrator on Everlalk~ a chatroom where fans of the online game EverQuest swap ideas and game cheats. But she wasn’t always an enthusiast. “Until last year, my experience of computers was limited to checking emails and downloading music, and I prided myself on not being very technologically minded, in other words, not being a geek! I'd never even heard of EverQuest until my boyfriend Tom bought aa subscription. Back then I didn’t get the appeal and frankly, I thought Tom was too old for that kind of stuff. But I held my tongue, convinced he'd soon get fed up and log out for the last time. When months went by and he still showed n0 Signs of losing interest, I got increasingly bothered. I even considered ‘accidentally’ spilling coffee over his keyboard so he'd be forced to stop — but I knew that would start a row and he'd only carry on playing anyway. And then I thought, this isn’t me, why am I behaving like this? So I had a go in secret, in a bid to be more sympathetic. | didn’t really expect to enjoy it. But after a few clicks of the mouse I was hooked! “The game was fun and surprisingly challenging. Every actionhasaconsequence, so you have to think very carefully!
