(A44)... They were the lucky ones out of 100 men and 1 I 0 women,
mostly 20.somethings, who applied for the "roles" when they were
advertised last November. Psychologists, counsellors and even an as-
trologer did the rest, much of it on the bir. Radio executives, having
spent J50,000 on the project, stood proudly by in the Concerto Room
of Birmingham's Hyatt Hotel as the handsome pair made their vows in
return for a Bahamas holiday and a free flat and car for ayear.

 (446) ... Greg, a former coal-miner who became a television security
salesman, was born and bred in Tamworth and enjoys rugby and kick-
boxing. Carla, from Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, has blonde good
looks that keep her in local modelling and advertising work. She says
her mother, Maureen, was uneasy about her unusual marriage plans at
first but eventually gave in, and her father, Graham, turned up to give
her away. Before the ceremony Mrs Germaine shrugged philosophi-
cally and said: "Shels a level-headed girl. She'll cope".
(47)... Carla, looking far more relaxed than her groom, said she
was extremely pleased at the way things had turned out. The bride said
she was delighted with her husband, Gazing at Greg and sounding rath-
er like a mail-order shopper assessing what the postman had brought,
she said: "I told them from Day One what I liked and he is very very
good". She knew that the Church, not to mention some of her friends,
thought her irresponsible. "But this is what I chose to 6e?', she said. "l
am my own person. There was no pressure. Everyone is entitled to their
own views, aren't they?" Greg thought his bride was stunning. As for
the mariage's chances, he could only say that he planned to "put 100
per cent behind it".
(A48) ... BRMB's spokesman, Michael Owen, insisted that the proj-
ect was a serious experiment. When asked how he justified that, he
replied: "The Church has said maniage is a God-given thing but I think
there is an argument that perhaps it isn'; any more. After all, don't they
predict that only 40 per cent of couples will be married next century?
Perhaps people should be more objective about it. We hope they willre-
act, feel involved and form their own opinions on what we have done",
Of course, he admitted, the station hoped it would attract more listeners.
The Church's intervention had added to the controversy. Mr Owen said
that if Greg and Carla had problems, of whatever kind, BRMB would
bb ready with counsellors to try to save the radio station's investment.

I. Scientists have shown that girls are born much better talkers than
boys. As early as two years old, girls are outstripping boys as conversa-
tionalists. Girls learn more quickly and for the first few years they have
a considerably wider vocabulary. This could be, according to recent
research, because there is a natural gift for speech in girls' genes.
IL In the study, parents were asked to note down which words frcim
a list of 100 their children could use by the age of two. Boys used on
average 44 of the words and girls used 52. But as children get older the
gap grows smaller and in late childhood there is no statistically signifi-
cant difference.
III. The findings have led scientists to question what the specific
influences are on early language development. The answer it seems
could be in the genes. The way genes work for language development
is different in boys and girls. One theory is that language development
is triggered by hormones, which are genetically programmed lo boosl
80
speech in girls more than in boys. Previous research has already estab-
lished that there is a strong link between levels of the female hormone
estrogen and fluency of speech. The next step is to collect DNA from
people to isolate the genes responsible for speech development.
IV. Genetic difference between the sexes has its roots in the different
roles that early men and women had, with men as the hunters and wom-
en as mothers and home keepers. Conversational skill, and particularly
the need to communicate effectively with children, often while multi:
tasking, was much more important for women than for men in these
early times. Hence, those with innate conversational ability probably
fared better and passed on the genes responsible to their offspring.
V. As well as the genetic influence on language development, the
way parents relate to their children is also thought to be a key factor.
Young boys tend to be more action-oriented and less verbal while girls
are generally more reflective and thoughtful. The language that chil-
dren provoke in adults and therefore the language they are exposed to
reflect these differences and consequently acts as a model for their own
language development.
A36. The article mainly discusses
l) genetic differences in language development.
2) linguistic differences in genetic development.
3) specific differerices in individual development.
A37. The results of the research prove that
l) boys'early language development goes more quickly.
2) girls'early language development goes more quickly.
3) boys and girls develop language at the same speed.
A38. The most probable reason for differences between boys and girls
is that
1) speech development patterns vary.
2) conversational ability is found in girls only.
3) genetic mechanisrns work differently.
A39.Different roles of early men and women can
l) serve as an example of contemporary communication patterns.
2) explain the difference in conversational ability levels.
3) reflect the inadequate level ofconversational ability.

(A43)_The woman I've come to meet is sitting atop a large plastic
cow in the grounds of her Los Angeles home, Small and blonde, she
holds an umbrella aloft and gives a mischievous smile for an American
magazine photographer. "Hi, there!" she says, giving me a warm, al-
most motherly wave from her unusual vantage point, Her real name is
Nancy Cartwright. Her stage name, however, is a little more familiar:
Bart Simpson, the obnoxious, skateboard-touting ten-year-old from the
caftoon metropolis of Springfield. It's hard to believe, but this forty-
six-year-old mother of two, dressed in a sensible green top and blue
trousers, is the yellow-hued rascal who instructed the world to eat his
shorts.
(A44)_ "1 cbn bring him out at will", says Cartwright, with a hint
of a raised eyebrow, her naturally husky voice always seemingly on
the verge of breaking into a Bartism, punctuated by his cruel, gloating
laughter. "Think about it, it's kind of ideal, isn't it? If I go to a parfy and
82
someone brings a kid up to me I can go, 'Hey, man, what's happening?'
and watch the kid's face. I love doing that". My own gawping response
is probably similar. The ten-year-old voice coming out of Cartwright is
scarily incongruous. It belongs to another world certainly not,here in
the lush Californian suburb of Northridge, with -
its white picket fences,
tennis courts, swimming pools and three-car garages. Reckless skate-
boarding would certainly not be tolerated.
(A45)_Cartwright, however, has grown tired of deploying Bart's
voice as a means to claim traditional celebrity perks, such as a table at
the famous Sky Bar. "I tried it once", she says. "lt's embarrassing. Peo-
ple are like, 'So what?"' She has had similarly disappointing encounters
with unamused traffic cops and flight attendants. Now Carwright has
learnt to relish her anonymous celebrity status. "It's probably because I
have the choice to be able to do it whereas most celebrities don't", she
concludes. "They're kind of, you know, at the whim of the public, and
that must be unnerving".
(A46)_But there is, of course, something profoundly odd about
the fact that Nancy Cartwright is at once both an A-list celebrity and
a faceless nobody. So odd, in faot, that it has inspired Cartwright to
produce a one-woman show based on what she calls 'My life as a ten-
year-old boy', which she is bringing to the Edinburgh Festival. The
one-woman show takes the audience through Cartwright's real life as
a ten-year-old living in the Midwestern 'nowheresville'of Dayton,
Ohio
-
when she won a school competition with a performance of Ru-
-
dyard Kiplin g's How the Camel Got His Hump. After that came other
competitions, other trophies, and a gradual realization that her voice
was perfect for caftoons. By her late teens, Cartwright was working for
a radio station where she met a Hollywood studio representative who
gave her the name and phone number of Daws Butler, the legendary
voice of cartoon favourites Huckleberry Hound and Yogi Bear.
(A47)_At just 19, and with only that one contact, Cartwright,
like so many other wannabe starlets, packed her bags and headed west,
transfening her university scholarship from Ohio to the University of
California. Cartwright, however, was no ordinary blonde starlet, "Most
people who come to Hollywood are looking to get on camera", she
says. "My story is quite different. My purpose was to hook up with this
pioneer of the voiceover industry, so that's what I did". He put her in
touch with the directors at the Hanna-Barbera studio and helped her get
the voice of Gloria in Richie Rich the adventures of the richest boy
in the world, -
83
 (A48)_Then came the call from the producers of a 30-second car-
toon spot on The Tracey Ullman Show. They wanted her to play the role
of Lisa Simpson, a nerdy and morally upstanding know-all with a bratty
little brother, Bart. "I went in, saw Lisa, and didn't really see anything I
could sink my teeth into", says Cartwright. "But the auditipn piece for
Bart was right there, and I'm like, 'Whoa, ten years old, underachiever
and proud of it!', and I'm going, 'Yeah, man that's the one I wanna
- the post as she was both well-qualified and interested in taking
do!"'She knew the audition was a success when Matt Greening, the
creator of The Simpsons, started cracking up and shouting, "That's it!
That's Bart!" It's no surprise to learn that Bart's catchphrase - Eat my
shorts!- was originally an ad lib by Cartwright. "You know what", she
says, "l couldn't believe I was actually getting paid for doing things I
would get into trouble for doing as a kid".

of their right to lead the life of comfort, the way we live".
(A47) "When I tell people how many animals live in my tiny
space, they always think they're going to walk in and be overpowered,"."
said Kasie Maxwell, 39, who shares her 660-square-foot Bernal Heights
home in San Francisco with her partner, Ron Love, 40, and a dog, a cat,
three doves, three turtles and one goldfish. A home with such a menag-
erie might be expected to look like a scaled-down Petco, but Ms Max-
well, who owns an online holistic pet supply store, and Mr Love, who
works in finance, have managed to maintain their style.
(A48)_"I hate how pet stuff looks," Ms Maxwell said. So instead
of buying a pricey aquarium for their turtle, Martha Mayhem bought a
15O-gallon galvanized-steel livestock tank. The makeshift pond serves
as a home for the turtle and a room divider that separates the couple's
bedroom from the living room.

Imagine the third person to buy an ordinary telephone soon after Alex-
ander Graham Bell had invented it. who was he going to call? Nobody
dreamed of the possibility of being able to speak to any one of millions
of people. And yet if relephone Man, and the hundreds and thousands
of early adopters after him, had not bought into the idea, the vast com-
munication networks that we all take for granted today would never
have been built.
IIL The same goes for all new technologies. Those yuppies holding
bricks to their ears that we laughed at in the I 980s made the current mo-,
bile phone possible. People who bought DVD players when they still
cost a fortune, instead of today's cheap one at the local supermarket,
made sure that the new format succeeded. Early adopters' desire for
desires provided for the future. And what did they get for their pains?
They got a hole in their bank accounts and inferior, unperfected tech-
nology. But still, they got it first. And today they are still at work, buy-
ing overpriced digital radios, DVD recorders and LCD televisions, so
that you will eventually be able to buy better and less expensive ones.
IV. So the next time you see a person dedicated to buying the newest
of new inventions and feel tempted to laugh, think for a minute. with-
out early adopters, there would be no cheap mobile phones or DVD
players; there would be no telephone or television either.
A36. According to the narrator's opinion, .early adopters, are those who

I ) become more expensive with time.

(A43) ... It happened to me last week. I was sitting in a restaurant
with three ltalian colleagues. The conversation was lively, but as so of-
ten, much of it was conducted on'the cellphone, with each guest around
the table talking on the telefonino as opposed to each other. I watched as
Gianni dexterously held a glass of wine in one hand and a cigarette and
the cellphone in the other. He chatted away in a boisterous tone, laugh-
ing. Giorgio took the Con-s=pirdt6rial approach. He was crouched over,
his face barely visible, whispering revelations into his slimline model.
(A44)... Antonio, I was convinced, was speaking to me. He mut-
tered something into his hand, when I realised that he was not speaking
to me at all, but to the tiniest, most elegant, wafer-thin telefonino that
Italy has to offer. It dawned on me that I was being completely ignored.
There was only one thing for it. I grabbed my cellphone, a bulky old
model: the telephone equivalent of a blunderbuss. When it rings, which
is very rarely, it emits a rattling noise as opposed to the subtle chortle
of a nightingale that is now fashionable. I was going to ring the office
to check if there were any messages, an entirely futile task designed
solely to save face. I dialled the number and waited. The others were
engrossed in their own conversations.
115
l-__
(A45) ... And then it happened. My cellphone emitted a loud bleat-
ing noise. The others all looked up. I looked down at my phone and to
my horror discovered the letters BLOC TOThad appeared on the digital
panel. This is short for blocco totale, total block. It could mean any
number of things: the user has not paid his bill, or the telephone com-
pany has put a block on all calls - a disciplinary measure for unreliable
payers. Whatever the reason, the blocco totale means social death. It
also means spending a day at the Great Inquisition, the SIP telephone
headquarters in the north-east of the capital just behind the Vatican. 1
(A46) ... It is a cruel twist of the Italian mobile phone system that
serious problems cannot be ironed out on the phone. You have to turn
up in person. The waiting room of the Great Inquisition was full of
crestfallen sinners, cradling their telefonini. I had been given number
187 in the queue. After one hour the small piece of paper showing my
number had been torn to shreds, so nervous was I about the interview.
Those before me got up wearily as if dragging a ball and chain and dis-
appeared into one of the five cubicles that lined the wall.
(A47)... The bell rang and number 186 flashed up on the screen. I
would be next. My stomach muscles tightened. I clutched my telefonino
even tighter ind braced myself for the hot coals of booth number four.
Without looking at me the man behind the desk barked, "Your number!"
I blurted out the seven digits. He typed them into a computer terminal.
Out of the corner of my eye, I could see my personal details flash up on
the screen. My date of birth, my address, my profession. What else did
they know? I felt naked, vulnerable, crushed by the State's omniscient
apparatus.
(A48) ... The man, who was wearing a grey short-sleeved shirt with
razor-sharp pleats, looked at me without even blinking. He said, "I'm
sorry, we must have made a mistake on the last digit. Everything seems
to be in order. We will lift the block on your phone immediately". I did
not know whether to feel relieved or enraged by this game of bureau-
cratic Russian roulette, which I had survived. I left the headquarters
of SIP a free but abused man. The letters BLOC TOT had disappeared
from _my telefoning.I had regained my place in society.

(A43)-Hackers 'from the dark side' are a mixture of consider-
able technical ingenuity and an anarchic capacity for destroying secure
systems. South African IT security expert Justin Sandford argues with
considerable conviction that hackers are a product of cheap Internet
access, They are usually young teenage boys who have plenty of time
to hone their hacking skills. For this reason they are largely found in
South Africa.
(A44)-Computer hackers have been like the fairy tale characters
of the past ever since the American household has been aware of the
Internet - they play on one's fears of the unknown, roaming free on the
digital streets and deriving plebs-ure from' using their superior knowl-
edge to infiltrate one's personal security,
(A45)-ln America, where local phone calls are free and Internet
access is cheap, the Internet has been accessible to the public for a rnuch
longer time than for the rest of the world - hence, there is much more of
124
an underground presence. America is essentially the root of the global
hacker community we have today. Up until fairly recently, the Internet
was not accessible to anyone in Africa, until South Africa's first dial-up
Internet service provider began operations several years ago.
(AaQ_South African Internet service providers have developed
to an internationally comparable level, and all levels of Internet access
from large corporate to home Internet access is to be found throughout
the country. Recently some of these providers have begun e*pansion up
to Namibia andZimbabwe and are starting to offer comparable Internet
access services to those found in South Africa. However, Internet ac-
cess to the home user is only viable where there is already an effective
telephone infrastructure available to the public, and only when this is
affordable to a large amount of people within an area does one start to
see the formation of hacking groups. As the majority of the African
countries have not yet developed an affordable phone system, the likely
problem of hackers in those is likely to be much less acute.
(A47)_But what threat do hackers and hacking in Africa pose?
Hackers in Africa are the same as hackers in America, Russia, Europe,
or anywhere in the world. They are all a global threat, given the bound-
ryless nature of the Internet. But South African hackers have a home
ground advantage. Knowing the systems, companies and technologies
which are most commonly found within South Africa, a hacker is far
better armed to perform an attack. South African systems are very much
at risk because they do not have the security consciousness and better
developed security systems found in America where the hacker threat
has been present much longer.
(A48)_As more and more African businesses and individuals ad-
vance in Internet terms to the same level found in the rest of the world
and start to place more and more of sensitive data (and thus reliance)
on the Intemet, security is becoming more and more important. Africa
is only now waking up to the Internet revolution but is not aware of the
implications and threats involved. There are very few highly skilled arid
experienced security specialists in South Africa who can expertly de-
velop and implement security systems of a world wide standard. Yet as
the development of the Internet progresses in Africa, so does the pres-
ence ofcomputer hackers, and also an understanding by business and
individuals of the risks and threats preseil(, and how to deal with them,

The Beatles soon rose to fame in England by producing recordings of
original tunes and also by playing classic American rock and roll. After
their appearances on British television, British newspapennen coined
a new word Beatlemania. For the next ten years the group was the
- movement.
symbol of youth
lY.In 1972, after the Beatles had stopped performing together, Paul
McCartney formed a new band,Ilings, but it was never as successful
as the Beatles and it broke up after seven years. Through the 1980s
McCartney worked on his own. In recent years Paul has written clas-
sical music and has worked on films. He also opened a stage school in
Liverpool. ln 1969 he met and married Linda Eastman, an American-
bom photographer, who also became a famous personality. They had
children and a happy life together for many years, but Linda died in
April 1998. McCartney's daughter Stella who graduated from College
ofArt and Design in London in 1995 rose quickly totheforefront of the
international fashion world.
V. All the members of the Beatles remained famous after the band
broke up, but only Paul his managed to use his musical talents in so
many different ways. He is still writing both pop music and classical
music. Paul McCarhrey is not only one of the best songwriters and mu-
sicians that Britain has known, but he is also a personality that no rock
fan will ever forget.
A36. Paul McCartney is one of the top British celebrities bgcause
l) he is a multimillionaire.
2) he is one of the Beatles.
3) he is an outstanding composer.
A37. Being a self-taught musician, McCartney
l) knew little about music composition.
2) relied on his own intuition and talent.
3) imitated the works of other composers.
A38. The word Beatlemania denotes
l) a specific type of music.
2) the attitude of millions of fans.
3) a behaviour not typical ofyouth.
A39. The Beatles became idols for generations because
l) they were young people themselves.
2) their behavior challenged the established norms.
3) they played a kind of music never played before.

private musical world, you often see an innocent and curibus child, full
of wonder at what can only be described as a mystery both joyous

when you see teenage boys looking at art in the galleries without being
handcuffed to their parents", he says. What's more, the annual number
of visitors to the museum has roughly doubled, from 250,000 to half a
million since the scheme was introduced. Similar institutions across the
country are now calling, wanting to know how much it costs 'to throw a
good parfy'. The answer, incidentally, is about $25,000 per event. "And
worth every dime",,says Lehman.
(A47)... Tonight, a woman called Akesha, who seerhs to vindicate
the new direction the museum has taken, is standing on the edge of the
dance floor. Akesha walked to the museum from her home, but hasn't
been here since primary school, when a teacher organised a trip to see
an exhibition. "The free concert is why I came", she admits, "but I must
come back and look round the uluseum".

(A43) ... For every Kate Winslet or Catherine Zeta Jones, there are
thousands of British 'wannabe' actresses who never make it in Hol-
lywood. "It is disheartening", admits 28-year-old Rachael Nortance'
"I've been to so many auditions for film parts where I walk in and
there's a room full of equally talented people, and I ask myself: 'Why
am I here?"'
(A44) ... But ironically, what Rachael finds hardest to accept is how
nice people are to her at auditions. "The organizers tell you they love
your work, and for the first month or so I believed them, but eventually
I realized it's totally fake because mostly you never hear from them
again". During her four years in the USA, Rachael has been to more
auditions than she can remember.
(A45) ... She has sent out thousands of photos of herself, and been
to all the right parties. For all that, the closest she has come to a Camera
is the one ihe-is using to send snaps home to her family in England'
She has yet to land any film or TV work, and is currently working at a
children's talent agency to make ends meet. "Basically, I do my best to
keep happy and focused on the industry", she says- "l was very realistic
when I came to Hollywood - I presumed I would have to be a waitress,
so I can't complain about a job that not only pays the bills, but which
also gives me a lot of satisfaction".
(A46) ... Rachael is just one of an estimated 1,000 hopefuls who ar-
rive in Los Angeles every week, chasing dreams of stardom. Many are
British, and almost al.l are unprepared for the intensity of the competi-
tion for acting jobs, and end up taking menial jobs because they have
to support themselves. "British actresses think Los Angeles is the land
150
of opportunity", she explains. "They see icons like Kate Winslet and
think it's possible to be successful here. But for every one that makes
it, there are thousands who end up doing dead-end jobs. Many get stuck
here because they don't want to go home again, not so much because
they can lt afford it, but because that would be adrnitting defeat - they'd
risk losing face".
(A47)... In spite ofthe constant rejection, Rachael keeps going. "I'm
passionate about acting and I think I've reached a standard where I can
prove I'm a good actress", she explains. "But I do get down sometimes.
That's when I cry on the phone to Mum, who talks me out of packing
my bags and makes me realize I need to strive harder. There isn't a day
that goes by when I don't wonder if I made the right decision to come
here, but then a big audition comes up, or someone introduces me to a
useful contact, and I realize how lucky I am", , l
(A48) ... Rachael always wanted to aot, She studied drama at Liv-
erpool University before spending two years at the American Academy
of Dramatic Arts, winning their best actress award, It was an instructor
there who suggested she try her luck in movies. Four years later, even
though she has yet to secure an acting role, she still feels she is do-
ing the right thing. "l know it takes time to make it here. At this stage
it's all about contacts. A week ago, I had a meeting with a production
company, and they've asked me to audition for a part in a possible film
in two years'time. It's a long way ofl but this could be where the ball
starts rolling. It's like any goal you set - you get so far and you can't
give up".

l. What is happening to the landscape of the traditional British high
street these days? As more and more retail outlets are moving to the
out-of-town shopping malls gaps are left in our once thriving streets.
It's a sad sight to see boarded up shop fronts where grocers, butchers,
hardware merchants and bakers once thrived. But hang on a moment,
what is this that I see moving in to take their place? Charity Shops!
II. In my very own pleasant middle class suburb, in recent years
we have said good bye to an excellent confectionary only to say hello
to some brand new research centre, and watch as a butcher metamor-
phosed into a 'Help the Aged' shop.
IIl. Can this be a good thing, our local necessities being replaced by
do-gooders? Well in some ways yes because charity shops fulfill two
very important needs in modern society. As the economy booms, house
that you have accumulated over the years? No of course not but some-
body might and it's not that bad. Why not take it round to the charity
shop and get rid of it. You feel virtuous fop giving to others and you get
rid of unwanted things at the same time!
A36. The main idea of the article is that charity shops
1) are not a novel thing in city streets.
2) are destroying traditional looks of city streets.
3) are playing an important role in the society.
A37. The author implies that in recent years
l) city streets have changed their looks greatly.
2) charity shops have disappeared from city streets.
3) shopping has become a more complicated affair.
A38. According to the author, buying at charity shops is

2) less expensive.
3) not fashionable.
A39. In the author's view, donating to charity can help one feel that
s/he is
l) doing good.
2) having fun.
3) playing fair.

(A43) ... No one knows exactly ryhen the first pair of Levi jeans
was made. All records were lost when the Levi Strauss head, office was
destroyed by fire during the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. But it was
some time in 1873, the year Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis patented
the idea that would ultimately make Levijeans world famous. Davis,
a Latvian-born tailor working in Reno, Nevada, came up with the idea
of inserting copper rivets into trousers to give them extra strength, after
one of his customers complained of pockets ripping, Davis could not
afford the $68 needed to patent his idea, so he turned to the man from
whom he bought his cloth, Levi Strauss, who ran a wholesale dry goods
business in San Francisco. Davis suggested they jointly apply for the
patent and manufacture the strengthened "waist overalls". Strauss saw
the potential, signed up and the two went into business.
(A44) ... Levi Strauss & Co's first jeans had one back pocket, riveted
in the corners, a watch pocket, and buttons for braces. The two back
pockets so familiar on today's jeans did not appear until 1902' ln 1937
158
the rivets were covered with cloth in response to customer complaints
that they scratched furniture and saddles. The red tab was introduced in
1936 to help salesmen identifi Levi jeans at rodeos. Strauss first bought
his material.from an east coast textile mill which had also made arms
during the American Civil War. His company was later to switch to a
rnill in North Carolina, the centre of denim production in the US.
(A45) ... Strauss was born Loeb Strauss in Buttenheim, Bavaria, in
1829 and emigrated to the United States where he worked in his broth-
ers'dry goods business in NewYbrk and changed his first name to Levi.
But in 1853 he went to San Francisco, then booming after the Gold
Rush, and set up his own dry goods company. When he died in 1902 his
nephews inherited a thriving business dealing in dry goods and making
Levi jeans.
(A46) ... Levi Strauss & Co, which pulled out of wholesaling in
1948, is still a family-owned firm today. The company's carefully cul-
tivated image of a socially caring business was damaged earlier this
year when it announced the closure of eleven US factories, the loss of
5,900jobs, and a search for cheaper production facilities overseas. It is
afar cry from the founder's decision in 1887 to fund 28 scholarships at
the University of California. Scholarships are stillavailable today. The
company and the.Levi Strauss Foundation last year made charitable
donations totaling $20 million to bodies involved in causes such as the
fight against AIDS, racism and discrirnination.
(447) .,, Remarkably for what is now a global icon symbolizing the
casual, unpretentious American way of life, Levi jeans only starled to
be sold throughout the US in the 1950s. Overseas sales coincided with
the rise of youth culture of the 1960s. careful market research boosted
European sales of Levi's by 80%. The twin messages were ,,these are
the originaljeans" and "don't they look sexy'l.
(A48) .,. But in a disastrous move in the 1970s, the company tried
to sell products from baby clothing to polyester suits under the Levi
brand and soon started to lose money. Since then it has introduced nen-
jeans lines under different brand names, The company then realised the
importance of brand perception. It was its status as the original blue
jeans maker that enabled it to charge premium prices. The back-to-ba-
sics policy worked. The flagship 501s are essentially the same as the
jeans sold to miners, cowboys and farmhands in the 1800s. A few years
ago teenagers would have given their eyeteeth for a pair. Now designer
labels and cargo pants are flavour of the moment. But denim will rise
again.

(A43) ... At first sight the classic detective story might sdem to be a
form that is continuing the Enlightenment's attempts to grapple with the
dark secrets of the human heart and, somehow, reassure us that sweet-
ness and light can win the day. But the history of the crime story is
powered by something as mysterious as the tales themselves.
(A44) ... The form really begins in the 1840s with th-e publication
of a short story called The Murders in the Rue Morgue by Edgar Allan
Poe, the honific tale of the murders of two women somewhere in Paris.
The crime is solved by a character called Chevalier Dupin who, at first
sight, might appear to be the first of those nineteenth century think-
erials' ing machines of whom Sherlock Holmes is the most famous example.
Close inspection of the mechanics of the thle, however, reveals that
Dupin is closer to being awizard of the old-fashioned type. Poe tells us
at the beginning of the story that most of Dupin's deductions are about
as far from logical thought as you can get.
