Choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D).
The most important people for many teenagers are

friends.

To many teenagers, their most important


relationship is not the one they might
have with a boyfriend or girlfriend. It's
their relationship with their friends.
Indeed, most teenagers prefer to spend
more time with their friends than with
their family.
But what does friendship mean?

There is a poem in Sanskrit, the classical language of have known all your life, or someone you've
India, which says that friendship must consist of the recently met.
following elements: giving, taking, sharing secrets,
knowing where your friends are, and giving and
sharing food with them. This ancient definition seems
like a very apt description. Shared interests and
opinions
are essential. It isn't easy to get on with someone who
can't stand your taste in music or fashion.
Most of us have friends - but it's likely that only a few
of them can be described as close friends. Robin
Dunbar, a British professor of evolutionary
psychology, believes that the maximum number of
people we can have in our social group at one time is
150. Many of
these are casual friends or acquaintances.We don't
meet them very often, but we might invite them to a
big party, for instance. But - according to Dunbar -
we don't normally have more than five close friends.
So who is a best friend? It is someone who's there for
you when you're feeling miserable - to give you
advice when you want it and to just listen when you
need someone to talk to. It might be someone you
(such as music and films), and can give you advice
about the different issues you face. For some people,
especially those who aren't so self-assured, making

The Mozart Effect


In 1993, researchers at the
University of California discovered
that students who listened to
Mozart'sSonata for Two Pianos
in D Major significantly increased
their intelligence test marks. Even rats were found to
run faster and do various tasks more accurately after
listening to Mozart than after listening to other kinds
of music. This discovery became known as the
Mozart Effect and had a huge impact on people:
shops
sold out of the music, the state of Georgia reserved
$100,000 so that every new mother could be
given a free copy as they left hospital, the state
of Florida passed a law that classical music must
be played
every day in all pre-schools. Pregnant mothers all
over the world started playing classical music
hoping that it might help them produce more
intelligent babies.
In add itio n, many books have been written
and a lot of money has been made from the
Mozart
Effect theory. For example, Don Campbell, a
Mozart Effect expert who has written several books
and put together several CDs on the subject, has
made more than $2 million.
Many psychologists, however, disputed the theory.
They argued that the original research was only
done on adults and that there is in fact no evidence
that listening to music has any effect at all on
children
or babies. Some more research was conducted
in Germany, this time including children. It was
discovered that the Mozart Effect had only a short
term effect, continuing for only twenty minutes after
the music stopped. What's more, they discovered
that not everyone who listened to Mozart had
better marks in intelligence tests. They discovered
that people can achieve better marks by listening
to any sort of music, or even listening to a story, as
long as you like what you are hearing.
However, the Germ an studies did show that there
is one way in which music really can improve your
intelligence and that is thro ug h music lessons,

I Uhif -iii·il·MiW : 69
More people have been into space or climbed
Mount Everest than have rowed across the Atlantic
Ocean. But on 5 December 2011 Jamie Windsor
and John Haskell, two firefighters from Cardiff, in
Wales, set off from La Gomera in the Canary
Islands hoping to do exactly that - to reach the
Caribbean island of Barbados in just a few weeks.
The two men decided to take on the Atlantic Dash
challenge after John's wife had been diagnosed
with cancer. They wanted to raise money for a
charity helping patients affected by the same
disease. Their families were supportive, but at the
same time quite astonished, as neither man had
ever rowed before. So for five months Jamie and
John trained hard for the race in the calm waters of
Cardiff Bay. But nothing could prepare them for the
long days and nights in the middle of the Atlantic.
The specially-designed boat meant rowers
could be self-sufficient during the crossing.
They had a device that made seawater
drinkable and food
stored in watertight containers. A big challenge
was that because race rules did not permit the
boat to drift, at least one of the men had to row at
all times. To ensure this, they worked out a two
hours on two hours off timetable. This was very
difficult for the two men, especially John, who
admitted that at one point he had started seeing
things due to lack of sleep. At one stage he
believed he was talking to an old woman on a
bike who was cycling alongside their boat!
The crossing was not without problems. As well
as John's hallucinations, the two friends had to
face what were at that point the worst storms
and
roughest seas of the new millennium, battling 10-15
metre waves at times. They also ran into
white-tip sharks and were nearly run down by
a cargo ship during a storm.

Today I came across some old photos of me
swimming with my parents when I was about five.
I lookedsohappy! We used to go to the pool all the
time in the summer and I loved it. Then whenI was
about ten, I got into diving. I remember watching it in
the 2008 Olympics and thinking 'Wow! I wan t to do
that !' I was totally amazed at the beauty of the dives
and incredibly excited by the height of the boards! I
desperately wanted to dive off the highest one and
learn all the moves. I started learning
to dive and I've been pretty obsessed with it ever
since! I'm not amazingly good. but I've competed In

Hi Jamie,
My holiday was great, thanks.
Yes, I did go snowboarding - to a place called Alp d'Huez in the
French Alps. Sam found a cheap offer and invited me to go with her.
I'm glad I did. It's a fantastic place for beginners to learn to
snowboard and the instructors are really friendly.
Unfortu nately, Sam can't go next year so I was wondering if you
might like to come with me? We could go to Alp d'Huez again - or
I've read some good reviews about Meribel, which is also a good

Tasks

How to get to know each other


Many teenage boys and girls often find it difficult to know if they're giving the correct signals
to someone they like. However, there are some universal techniques which might help you face
this challenge.

The most important thing is appearance. Yes, it's a shallow thing to say, and it's certainly true that
one shouldn't judge another person by their looks. But just think: how else can you make a first
impression before you have a chance to impress someone with your personality? Both boys and girls
should
pay attention to what they are wearing. First impressions count when you want to ask someone out
on a date. Both boys and girls should aim to look smart. Dirty fingernails and scruffy clothes won' t
do anyone any favours. Try to wear something that makes you feel comfortable. If you feel at ease,
you'll also be more confident. If your clothes are bothering you, you'll be distracted from your most
important objective.

Once you've made a good impression, you can try to attract the person's attention by making eye
contact with them. Experts in body language sometimes refer to this as the 'eyebrow flash'. Catch
their eye, look directly at them and raise your eyebrows. If they like you, they' ll smile back right away.
If they don' t, you can still pretend you didn't mean anything by looking , and just walk away - without
having to adm;,de feat. The other person can smile back and mirror your body language. We all like
people who look and act like ourselves because it makes us feel more secure. Some people find
a direct, proactive person appealing, while some people get scared by this.

And what's next? It's always good to pay a compliment to the person you like, and in return it's nice
if they accept the compliment and pay one back. How do you do this? Just say something nice
about the other person - it doesn 't matter what it is so long as you think it's true. Once you've got
through all that, then you can begin to talk to each other! Try not to sound too nervous, don 't
giggle and keep
smiling. Always look interested in what the other person is saying, even if you know nothing about
the subject. Having had your first chat, you can now decide how you really feel and whether you still
want to go out with the person or not.
116 ◄H H it!ii ii►
22 What do teenagers often have difficulties with?
A finding someone they like
B making conversation
C talking about their hobbies
D showing how they feel about someone

23 Why is appearance important?


A It has a bigger impact than personality.
B It's the only way to impress someone before you get to know them.
C Looking good helps you speak with confidence.
D Dressing well makes you feel special.

24 What does admit defeat in paragraph 3 mean?


A accept you can't succeed
B predict you won't win
C suggest you may lose
D pretend you never fail
25 According to the text, what is TRUE about copying body language?
It makes people feel _
A active
B attractive
C scared
D safe
26 What is the writer's advice for the next step?
A to tell each other how you really feel
B to say something positive to each
other C to only tell the truth if it is nice
D to stop worrying about what you're going to say

Task6

Read the texts below. Match choices (A- H) to (27- 32).


There are two choices you do not need to use.

How do you feel about social media?

27 Zoe

It took me a while to accept the idea of social networking sites - but my two
teenage daughters told me to give it a try and I have to say it was a real eye
opener. I started off by trying to track down old school friends, and it worked -
I managed to contact people I'd lost touch with over the years, and I've even
met up with some of them. I can't say I'm addicted to these sites like my
daughters, but at least I understand the attractions.

28 Fran

I don't think there's anything really wrong with these sites - for keeping in touch
with friends and family, for example. However, if you find you are on 24/7, then
I'd say you've probably got a problem. What I really can't stand are people who
post thousands of photographs or videos or update their profile every day. To
me , that's a sign that the person is just using the site to show off.

29 Jack

If people have got nothing better to do than spend all their tree time on one of
these sites, they need to get a life. I can't understand why some people would
rather talk to friends in a virtual world instead of going out and meeting real
people. I've got a couple of friends who never phone me any more - they think
they can keep in touch with their instant messages. I'd prefer a real conversation
any day.

There are a number of signs that indicate a young person is spending too
much time on social media sites. You should be worried if your child is
anxious, stressed or feeling overwhelmed by normal routines; if they are
leaving homework unfinished or are getting bad grades at school; and if their
relationships with important people such as their family are suffering.

For me, it's a way of connecting with such a huge variety of people - from all
over the world. You can share problems and experiencesin a matter of
seconds! And while we are constantly being told how so many of us suffer
from loneliness these days, social media seems like an obvious way to stay in
touch with people, wherever they are in the world, and to meet new people -
even when you're very shy like me!

32 Milly
I've used social media to help promote my business. I'm self-employed and it's
an absolutely brilliant way to communicate with my customers. I've built a strong
community around my brand, and my followers are interested and engaged in
my products. I like to entertain with what I post, though - to make my followers
laugh or tell them something they didn't know. Then people are more likely to
'like' the post and share it with others!

Which per son ?


A talks about various mental health issues
B believes social media has been a help to them
professionally C accuses some users of laziness
D has used social media to renew past acquaintances
E thinks some users only want to draw attention to themselves
F suggestson line communication works well for lessconfident people
G says loneliness can be a result of social media use
H doesn't see the point of certain relationships

Off the Streets and Into Life


Centrepoint is a British charity that helps young people who have found themselves, for one reason
or another, living rough or in unsuitable or dangerous accommodation. They help by (33) _ for
up to two years, irrespective of why they ended up on the streets.

Since 1969 , Centrepoint has helped 72,000 young homeless people. Although a place to stay is
important, (34) _ , homeless children will become homeless adults. Additional support services
include a skills and employment team. Specialists within these teams help get young people back
into education, training or employment. Living rough can also have a real impact on mental health.
So Centrepoint helps these youngsters (35) _ and provides information on personal hygiene.

Centrepoint has contact with arou nd 1,300 young people every year. Their circumstances differ.
Some are homeless because of a breakdown in family relationships. But, (36) _ , the charity aims to
provide each person the individual help they need most.

One of the young people at Centrepoint, John, was only 15 years old when be first arrived. He had
been sleeping on park benches and in old buildings. Since his arrival, Centrepoint has helped to build
John's confidence and nurture his abilities, and he now hopes to go to university. Looking through
other life stories on the charity's website, it is clear that confidence and education are key words for
the young people (37) _.

The biggest challenge for many people being helped by Centrepoint is the next step: (38) _ into
the real world. Centrepoint bas an after-care service which provides support when looking for
accommodation and help with financial concerns, such as paying a deposit on a flat or paying the first
monthly bills.

A Famous Race
TheTour de France is known the world over and watched by millions. It is one of the most (39) _
endurance races in the sporting calendar. But how did it all begin? It all started when Henri Desgrange,
(40) _ of the cycling newspaper L'Auto, was looking for a way to increase sales and thought a race
would help him achieve this. He was right, as both the first Tour de France and L'Auto became
hugely successful, and a rival paper, Le Velo, was forced to go (41) _ business.

That first race took place in July (as it continues to do today), and (42) _ six stages, with 60 riders
cycling 2,500 kilometres over 19 days, cycling day and night. The winner of the first race was
Maurice Garin, a Frenchman, who finished the race in 94 hours, 33 minutes and 14 seconds. The (43)
_
with the modem race is striking - nowadays there are 20 stages, and cyclists cover a distance of 3,361
kilometres in 22 days. The fastest contestants complete the course in about 82 hours, and there are
nearly 200 cyclists who enter the race, although not all of them (44) _ it to the finish line.

The bikes have changed from the early days, too. The original bikes weighed 16 kilograms, (45) _
today bikes often weigh less than 7 kilograms. Because (46) _ cyclists bad to race at night, they
had lamps on the front of their bikes. One thing that has not changed is the colour of the (47) _
winner's jersey. The colour was
chosen by Desgrange because his newspaper was (48) _ on yellow paper.

Perhaps the greatest difference is the prize money that the riders can win. Today's winner can expect to
take home as much as £432,000, compared to £462 won in the 1903 race.
