We love them so much that some of us sleep with them under the pillow, yet we are increasingly concerned that we cannot escape their electronic reach. We use them to convey our most intimate secrets, yet we worry that they are a threat to our privacy. We rely on them more than the Internet to cope with modern life, yet many of us don't believe advertisements saying we need more advanced services Sweeping aside the doubts that many people feel about the benefits of new third generation phones and fears over the health effects of phone masts, a recent report claims that the long-term effects of new mobile technologies will be entirely positive so long as the public can be convinced to make use of them. Research about users of mobile phones reveals that the mobile has already moved beyond being a mere practical communications tool to become the backbone of modern social life, from love affairs to friendship to work, One female teacher, 32, told the researchers: I love my phone. I's my friend.’ The close relationship between user and phone is most pronounced among teenagers, the report says, who regard their mobiles as an expression of their identity. This is partly because mobiles are seen as being beyond the control of parents. But the researchers suggest that another reason may be that mobiles, especially text messaging, was seen 2s a way of overcoming shyness. Texting is often used for apologies, to excuse lateness of to communicate other things that make us uncomfortable, the report says. The impact of phones, however, has been local rather than global, supporting existing friendships and networks, rather than opening users to a new broader community. Even the language of texting in one area can be incomprehensible to anybody from another area. ‘Among the most important benefits of using mobile phones, the report claims, will be a vastly improved mobile infrastructure. providing gains throughout the economy, and the provision of a more sophisticated location-based services for users. The report calls on government to put more effort into the delivery of services by mobile phone, with suggestions including public transport and traffic information and doctors’ text messages to remind patients of appointments. ‘I love that idea,” one user said in an interview. ‘It would mean | wouldn't have to write hundred messages to myself.” There are many other possibilities. At a recent trade fair in Sweden, a mobile navigation product was launched. When the user enters a destination, a route is automatically downloaded to their mobile and presented by voice, pictures and maps as they drive. In future, these devices will also be able to plan around congestion and road works in real time, Third generation phones will also allow for remote monitoring of patients by doctors. in Britain scientists are developing an asthma management solution, Using mobiles to detect early signs of an attack, Mobile phones be used in education. A group of teachers in Britain use third generation phones to provide fast internet service to children who live beyond the reach of terrestrial broadband services and can have no access to online information. ‘As the new generation of mobile technologies takes off, the social potential of the mobile will vastly increase,’ the report argues. +.

Most of us do without thinking twice about || it if younger people are ‘senile’, it means they are beyond hope and can be dismissed as too feeble to contribute anything This language of derision or ridicule is only one of the facets of the most pervasive prejudice in our society and one which seems to be growing: ageism. Ageism means assessing a person's worth solely by their age. Some people will not suffer directly from the best known ‘isms’ of today: sexism and racism, But everyone is a potential victim of ageism and all of us are guilty of perpetrating it We are guity because, just as racism and sexism operate against people with a particular skin colour or gender, so society has developed a systematic process of stereotyping and discriminating against people because they are old ‘The stereotype imposed upon older people is a cruel one. When you are old you are not allowed the same feelings and needs 2s you had in your youth; love and jealousy are regarded as ludicrous; sexuality repulsive, violence ridiculous. Society expects you to be an example of the virtues, especially serenity and wisdom, but at the same time you are dismissed patronized and treated as a fool, You hear that retirement is a time of freedom and leisure, but the majority have such a poor standard of living that itis dificult or impossible to enjoy that freedom. Older women face extra problems men may not have since ageing for women in our society is viewed as a loss of sexual attractiveness and @ magnification of all the prejudices that women always come across. No wonder that loss of self-esteem often follows. Ifa visitor rom outer space were to sit in front of the TV screen and watch commercials for a day, he/ she would conclude that the human race was made up of men and an attractive sub-species of creatures under the age of thirty. That is because older women are virtually invisible in advertisements. Understandably, young and pretty models add appeal, but don't older women buy products, too? Unfortunately at the end of the day advertising only plays back images already in the public's mind and reflects our prejudices. 41, Why does the writer consider ‘ageism’ harmful? ‘A. Itjudges all old people by the same criteria __C. Ithas a bad effect on language 8B. We will all eventually suffer from it D. Itprevents old people contributing to society 2. The author suggests that we deny that old people can ‘A. have emotional experiences C. enjoy sexual equality 8. feel youthful D. experience individual freedom 3. Which of these characteristic do we expect in old people? A. stupidity B. calmness C. laziness. D. humility 4. Why does the author think that ‘ageism’ is more of a problem for women? A They are too poor to enjoy their retirement B. A woman's appearance deteriorates more quickly than a man’s, C. People find old women less pleasant to look at D. Women are less confident than men.

At this ‘upmarket hotel chain, you can call on the bath bullr if you are just too exhausted fo fill your own tub, or glance through he pillow menu (yes, really, a menu of pillows). At a Colorado ski resort, your skis are taken to the slopes and your boots warmed each morning And, at one Rocky Mountain hotel, you can even borrow a golden retriever to help make walks just that lite bit more authentic. This, and the decision of many Americans to holiday on their side of the Atlantic in recent years, has helped Wensley get through a difficult economic period, Of its 50 hotels, 32 are in the US and Caribbean, and the chain avoided cutting rates by offering ‘value packages, such as room and car hire combined, to keep people coming through the doors. The company's president and chief operating officer, Steven Watson, believes that while the economy has not been in good shape recently, a new generation of travellers, who place great importance on someone else running their baths, will ensure the chain's continued success, The group wants to serve that new generation. Watson believes people still want luxury, particularly as they are now getting it from fewer and fewer places. ‘Consumers are much more demanding, sure they are, and even more so of the hotel industry because they aren't getting it from the airiine industry, with its cheaper fights and reduced service. And we're seeing greater affluence. People are paying less for commodities and more for experiences. Things have changed over the 30 odd years that Watson has been in the business Watson is obsessed with service. ‘High- speed internet access, plasma TVs, better locks on the doors it just goes on and on. The service today is vastly better than 30 years ago The food is better than it was 10 years ago. The room decor is better, the beds are much, much better; you have ‘a much better experience in your bed than you used to.’ One thing hasn't changed, though: ‘i's stil about motivating people and encouraging people so the guests have the best possible treatment. This is exactly the sort of sentiment you would expect from a family firm, His three sons all work for the hotel chain, as does his daughter's husband. But Wensley hotels is not a family firm. Its listed on the New York Exchange and its market value is over ten billion dollars. Mr Watson is the largest shareholder. In total, the Watson family controls about 24 per cent of the group. He has plans for the chain. ‘We are looking to do more intemationally; both in Europe and Asia: He is keen to move into Scotland - ‘I would love to be in Edinburgh but | don't know that the market is robust enough just yet’ - and is looking for properties in Ireland and England to convert into country resorts. The chain is also launching boutique hotels with an italian jeweller: the first opens later this year in Naples. Mr Watson is a busy man - and likes it that way: ‘My wife will tell you | have been saying I'm going to retire in five years for the last 20 years. The reason | haven't retired is because the standard of living she expects just Keeps rising.” 4. What does the writer suggest by the use of ‘really’? A. Itisa real menu C. Itis unusual to serve food in bed. B. Thisis surprising but true. D. They didn’t really have a pillow menu 2. What does ‘this’ refer to? ‘A. The attention Wensely hotels pay to detail B.

Watson believes that the hotels ‘A_will carry on being successful B. will be particularly successful during the tough economic period. C. will fal because the new generation of travellers don't like luxuries. D. can succeed if it attracts important new travellers. 4. What sort of experiences are people prepared to pay for, in Watson's view? A. less comfortable flights B. better service during fights’ C. the feeling of Being affluent D. luxuries in hotels 5. What aspect of the hotel business has remained constant, in Watson's view? ‘A. If guests are encouraged, they will enjoy their stay. C.

It was the French writer Andre Malraux who first coined the term to describe the choice of the world's art which a man might make to furnish his own private museum. Modem printing, Malraux proceeded to argue has actually made such a collection a practical possibilty. Masterpieces which men of the eighteenth century and before had to travel to see are now within the reach of all who can afford a postcard or a newspaper supplement. Mechanical reproduction has removed art from the hands of the few and made itaccessible to all, Printing has done the same for books: the paperback is scarcely more expensive than the fine art print. Cur problem is no longer one of access; i is more likely to be one of choice. How are we to choose among the thousands of available titles? To enter a library is immediately to be seized by a kind of panic; one risks starving among such plenty. The ‘confession that one does not know what to read next, or where to begin in an unfamiliar subject, is shameful in a society in which nobody wishes to be a beginner and where naivety is likely to earn the scorn accorded to all newcomers. This book seeks to be a kind of reader's ticket to that immense library which man has put together ever since he first began to leave 2 written record of his experiences and his opinions. ‘Our first notion as compilers of this book was to supply lists of unadorned tities in each of the standard library categories. But to glve no information about the books proposed would be to leave the reader in the bemused condition of a guest at 2 crowded party to whom the host has nothing more to say than ‘You know everyone here, of course’. So we decided that it was essential to give a brief account of each recommended book, however laughable or superficial an authority on the subject might find it It is no scandal not to find you favourite book in these pages; we are not judging, though we have been obliged to choose. This is, in short, an imaginary library, not the imaginary library. It can, and should be, supplemented by further reading and broader research. In fact, the collation of these lists has been enough to pull down our vanity; for more urgent the desire one feels to abandon the affectations of the editor and assume the modesty of the student. 1. The List of Books is A. an index of early printed books C. a personal selection of books 8. a complete catalogue of English books D. acollection of rare books 2. Nowadays the great works of art are more A. protected B. familiar ©. scattered D. valuable 3.
