How was he special? The Real Rain Man Laurence Kim Peck was born in Salt Lake City on 11 November 1951. It was clear from an easly age that he was not like other children. A scan showed that the two halves of his brain were not connected in the usual way. As a result, Laurence developed the most amazing memory skills. From as early as two, he showed a fascination with books. Hl used to pick up books, read them and put them back on the shelf upside down to show that he had finished reading them. He remembered everything he had read He soon began to memorise huge amounts of information on subjects such as history, geography, sport, music and literature. He also had an incredible ability with numbers and dates. He developed a special technique to help him read quickly. He read the left page with his left eye and the right page with his right eye, He could read ata speed of about ten seconds a page and, by reading two pages at the same time, it would take him less than an hour to read a whole book. By the age of 30 he had memorised the contents of around 12,000 books. Read the text again and listen. Mark the statements T (true) or F (false). 1 The right and left sides of Peek's brain were not However, other areas of his development were not so advanced, He did not walk until the age of four and had problems with ordinary motor skills such as doing up a button or tying his shoe laces. He had poor social skills and was extremely sensitive when meeting new people, He also did badly in intelligence tests In 1984, Peek and his father were attending a convention, when they met Hollywood film writer Barry Morrow. He was fascinated by Peek and began to write a new script based, loosely on his experiences. The result was Rain Mana film which won four Oscars, including best film, in 1988. The film made a big difference to Peek’ life. His new-found fame helped him to become more self-confident and independent. He quickly got used to being the centre of attention and ‘made several appearances on TV. He also travelled extensively around the country with his father to raise awareness of the condition he suffered from. Morrow gave his Oscar staruette to Peek to take with him. It became known as the ‘most loved Oscar ever’,as Peck insisted that everyone he met should take a turn at holding it. He died, sadly, of 2 heart attack at the end of 2008. © past tense review Complete the text with the correct past tense of the verbs. Gilles Trehin was born in France in 1972.

Listen to your parents ~ they can be a good source of advice. You should understand that parents have their children's interests at heart. Don't let the bad feeling between you and your dad get any worse. The second reason | for this story is that Iwant you to know your mum and dad | aren’t quite the fools you might think they are. My dad | wasn't as forceful as yours, but | should have listened to what he had to say, even if didn’t take his advice, Remember, parents always want what's best for their children, even ifit doesn’t always seem that way. The first thing you need to do is make friends with your dad again. I'm sure ifyou sit down with him and. talk things over, you'll both be able to work things out. You need to let him know that you're willing | to listen to him but that the final decision is yours. | This is not about feeling guilty because you don’t | want to let him down, this isabout doing what you | think is right for you. I'm sure that if he can see that | you are serious, he will stand by you and offeryou =| the support you need. And remember, ifone day | you decide to do things differently, there's nothing stopping you from doing so. b Read the letter again and listen. Tick (/) the four pieces of advice it offers Annie. 1.

Give your reasons. boxing What | think of ing-os.a-sport. Boxing is a popular sport that many people seem to be fascinated by. Newspapers, magazines and sports programmes on TV frequently cover boxing matches, Professional boxers earn alot of money, and successful boxers are treated as huge heroes. It-seems to me that some people, especially men, find it appealing because itis an aggressive sport. When they watch a boxing match, they can identity with the winning boxer, and this gives them the feeling of being a winner themselves. Sometimes fans are rooting for a particular boxer, 1 because the boxer comes from their own country, and if ‘their’ boxer loses, they often feel as if they have losta fight themselves. Itis a fact that many people have feelings of aggression from time to time, but they cannot show their aggression in their everyday lives Watching a boxing match gives them an outlet for this aggression. 2 , there is a negative side to boxing. It can be a very dangerous sport. Although boxers wear gloves during the fights, and amateur boxers even have to wear helmets, there have frequently been accidents in both professional and amateur boxing, sometimes with dramatic consequences. Boxers have suffered head injuries and, occasionally, fighters have even been killed as a result of being knocked out in the ring. ? , studies have shown that there are often long-term effects from boxing in the form of serious brain damage, even if a boxer has never been knacked out. ‘ , Lam personally not at all in favour of aggressive sports like boxing. | think it would be better if less time was given to aggressive sports on TV, and we celebrated more men and women from non-aggressive sports as heroes and heroines in our society. | believe that the world is aggressive enough already! Of course, people like competitive sports, and so do I, but | think that hitting other people is not something that should be regarded as a sport. b] Read the composition again and complete it with the words in the box. toconclude moreover however for example ©] What is the purpose of each paragraph?
