THE MAN WITH THE

30 SECOND MEMORY
When British musician, Clive Wearing, woke up on Wednesday
27 March, 1985, he could not answer a simple question or even
remember his wife's name. His wife, Deborah, called the doctor.
1 But that evening his wife arrived home from work to
an e'mpty flat, and later that night, a taxi-driver found Clive

Whenever Deborah left him, even if it was just to go to the

walking around the streets. His wife took him straight to
hospital.
When Clive went into a coma, the doctors finally diagnosed a
dangerous virus. 2 The doctors doubted that he would
ever get better. However, they were wrong. Clive got better
physically, but unfortunately his mental condition did not
improve. His story is thought to be one of the most shocking
cases of amnesia ever recorded.
The one thing that Clive did recall when he woke up was that
he had a wife, and he knew that he loved her, but Clive now
had a short-term memory of less than thiny seconds. ,_ __
bathroom, when she came back Clive talked to her as if it was
the first time he had seen her that day.
Clive spent seven years in a psychiatric ward in a hospital,
before moving to a special unit for people with brain injuries.
Unfortunately, his amnesia did not improve. ' She got a
divorce and tried to make a new life for herself.
But Deborah still loved Clive. She realised that she couldn't live
without him and nine years later. she rang him and asked him
if he would like to get married again. of course, he couldn't
remember getting married the first time or getting divorced,
but he agreed. s_ _

questions, then you might want to think about the
scholarship prograJnmf$ open to Ukrainian students who
want to study abroad. These programmes pay education
fees and provide spending money so you can meet the
higher cost of living in foreign countries.
OFor high school students aged 15-17, there is the US
govenunent's Future Leader Exchange Program (FLEX).
Students live with host families in the US and study at the
local school. There are also events for students to attend.
These include meetings with members of government
and non-governmental organisations. trips to museums
and historic sites, and training for getting involved tn
community and civic decisions. Exchange students also
take part in various school competitions. It is a great
opportunity to compare two different educational systems,
lifestyl~ and cultures.
<3 One of the best-known US scholarship programmes
is the Fulbright Program. This is for students studying
for a first degree or a post-graduate qualification, and it
has l?een operating since the end of the Second World
War. It was started by J William Fulbright to create better
understanding between the United States and other
countries. Each year, the fund gives 8,000 st udents from 150
countries (including the USA) the chance to study abroad.

2 What can you do as a FlEX student?
3 Which US programme is for unive rsity students?
4 What are the advantages of studying in the USA?
5 Which European exchange programmes are there?
6 Why might a company want to employ someone who has
studied abroad?
Challenge!
Imagine a friend is a FLEX student. Write a letter asking
about his/her experience. Include the top ics below.
• accommodation. education fee • school activities
• cost of trving • host family • free time
o For students studying for a degree in the USA, one of the
advantages is that you can choose from a wide variety of
courses. If you are not sure about what you finally want to
specialise in, you can study a number of subjects and see
which ones you find most interesting. Another advantage is
that there are a lot of universities to choose from - there are
around 4,500 offering undergraduate degrees.
BCloserto home, there are European Union exchanges
such as Erasmus Mundus, where students study part of
their course at a partner university. The aim is to promote
international cooperation, and increase mobility for
university students and teachers in the EO. The British
govel'llment also offers around eight Chevcning scholarships
to Ukrainian students each year to give them an education
which will help their homecoulltfY. As with other
programmes, the British government hopes that students
who receive funding will maintain contact with people in the
host country and, in future, might create business links to
benefit both countries.
I1Experience ofliving abroad is welcomed by employers as
it shows an ability to deal with unknown situations. It also
means that you have knowledge other people don't have and
that might be useful to employers.

has been with the fire service for more than 22 years.
Dany spends a lot of ner time trying to change the image oHhe
Rre Brigade. She recenlly took part in a national campaign
promoting firefighting as a career for girls in secondary schools"
During the campaign. she explained that women do the same
training and assessment as men and they are expected to do the

same jobs. Both men and women must be fit and healthy, butas
long as they pass the physical tests. height isn't important.
However. Oany's favourite question is this: 'How can a woman
I carry a man down a ladder from a building which is on fire?'
She says that in all her years of firefighting . she has never seen
anyone try this. although she was trained to do it. She describes
an office, btlt she still attends emergencies. One of the things she finds
most interesting about her job is this combination of using her skills
with people and working in real life emergency situations.

 CULTURE Mood and the weather
IfC I can understand d teAt about the ef{ect twGther con have on people's moods.
1 Work in pairs. Ask and answer the questions.
1 What weather do you prefer?
2 Is there any weather you don 't like? Why?
3 How do you feel when it is sunny, windy or humid?
2 Quickly read the text and choose the best summary.
a How to be happy in bad weather
b The effects of serotonin
c The weather's influence on uS
'f)~.!jft'W.sWtj i.¥v ~ miA-v?
Does your mood change according to thev.'eather? Are you
happier when the sun shines? Do you feel healthier, more
optimistic, even more generous when it's warm and bright
outside,and grumpier when it's cold and wet? If you do, then
you are not alone. ReseaR:hcrs have found that people's moods
change according to the temperature, number of hours of
sunshine, hwnidity and wind strength. The more sunshine
there is, the more optimistic people arc likely to be. Convel"S('ty,
short winter days with few hours of sunshine can lead to a type
of depression called SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder).
Part of the reason for this is thal sunshine increases the
amount of serotonin we produce. Serotol}in controls a number
of our bodies' activjties including appetite, sleep, memory
and It.Y1ming, temperature regulation, mood, and behaviour.
Generally speaking. this chemical makes us more alert and
happier. At night we stop producing it and instead we tum
the serolDnin in our bodies into melatonin. Melatonin hel ps
us sleep. It's thought that in winter this serotonin-melatonin
mechanism doesn't work in some people and that they produce
melatonin during the day. As a result, their bodydock no longer
\vorks: they are tli,'Cd during the day and lhey can't sleep properly
at nJght.
3 Read the text again and answer the questions.
1 Which four factors can affect people's mood?
2 What chemical determ ines how much we eat and sleep?
'3 When do we produce melatonin?
4 What treatments are there for sufferers of SAD?
, 5 What can't our bodies do well when it is hot and humid?
I
I
6 What does the wind do which can then lead to problems?
7 Which type of people are more likely to be innuenced by
I the weather?
8 What can you do to minimise the effect of the weather?
32 I Unit 4 • BodV and mInd
I
Scientists have experimented with some people suffering from SAD
and found that if they are given melatonin at the right time before
they sleep, their body clocks return to normal and their moods get
better. Some people also improve if they spend a couple of hours a
day sitting near special lights to increase their serotonin levels.
But our mood is not just affected by sunshine. Humidity is also
important. High It!'\'els of humidity make it difficult for us to sleep
and \\e also lose concentration particularly when humidity is
combined with heat. This is because it is more difficult for us 10
regulate our body temperature in wann, hUlUid weather as sweat
doesn't evaporate and we feel hot and damp.
Windy weather can lead to other problems because wind can
produce positive ions. When there are lots of positive ions in the
atmosphere, we tend to feel more anxious and nervous.
In addition, when the wind hits your head you can find it difficult to
think.
Luckily, not everyone is significantly affected by changes in the
weather. They may not feel as happy ....·hen it's cloudy as theydo
when it's sunn}', but lhis doesn't necess..1rily cause a problem. People
who are sensitive and prone to changes in mood are probably mort'
likely to be badly affected by weather than others. So, if you are
feeling down, and difficult weather ison theway, mal«> sure that you
organi.seyourtimeso you have things to do which cheefYou up and
keep you busy.

In Do you think the Yeti or Mande Barung really exists?

Write your opinion here. Explain why I why not.

In NepaJ, it is known as the

Yeti, in the US as BiS[oof and
in India as Mande BarunS. But
does this creature or animal
really exist? Recently, journalists
have travelled to the Garo Hills
in northern India to look into
reports that the Mande Baruns
has been seen.
The first report comes from
Nelbison Sangma. lie says that he
watched the Mande BarunS fol'
three days while he was working
in the area . H~ reported that the
creature was on the other side of the river near some trees and
looking for (ood. Unfortunately, he hadn't gone home to get
his camera because he lived ten days' walk away.
Llewellyn Marak. a writer and environmentalist, has not seen
the Mande &runs himself, but he knows a lot of people
who have. Marak has been to visit some giant footprints,
which he said were made by the animal. He says that it was
impossible that they were human footprints, because they
were 46 cm kmgl
It-year-old Tengsim Marak got a much closer look at the
creature. Tengsim was walking through the forest when
he came across the animal sitting on a rock playing with a
stone. He only saw it for a few seconds, but he can describe
it perfectly. He says that he is sure that it wasn't an ordinary
animal- itwas much bigger Ihan a human, but it had the
face of a monkey.
Unfortunately, the 8,000 km t area is covered with deRSE:
jungle, so it is difficult to know what is aLII there. Nobody
can prove that the Mande Barons definitely exists, but
nobody can say that it does nol exist, either.

Although the hryvnia has only been around since 1996 in its
CWTe:nt fonn, its hiStory is much longer. Hryvnias were used
in the eleventh century in an area known as Kyiv Rus (land
which induded parts ofpre.ent day Ukraine, Belarus and
Russia). The word may come frOnt UW Slavic won1 griva,
meaning mmw. A mane is the long hair arotUld an animars
face or neck, for example 011 a horse or a maJe lion. So it
is possible that hryunias were something originally worn
arOlmd peoples necks, maybe in gold or silver.
FollOwing. Uktainirul independence, offi6als decided in the
early 1990s to CI-eat.e a tu~ called the hryvnia. The first
lIotes for 1, 2, 5, 10 andZO hryvnias were printed in 1992, but
the currency wasn't introdu<X'd until 1996. 'I1te government
delayed the transition becalL.<;(' of very high inflation. Price;
were rising fastand there was a feru·that bringing in a new
currency would have made the situation worse.
Higher denominations were added in 1994, 2001 and 2006.
So, nowttwre are also notes for 50, 100, 200 and 500 hryvru.as.
plus coins for lluyvrua.
It is not easy to replace a currency with a new one hccaU!ie
there are so many pieces of the old one in drcu!atiQiI. The
way it was done in Ukraine was to have the old currency
(i<a(bQvanets) side by side with the new currelK'Y (hryvilia)
for a time. This meant people could P<l,}' for things in
karboV'Mets, hut tht'Y would ~E'ive hryvnia as change. After
a fortnight, mper cent of karbovanets had been taken out of

\\'ith any currency. it is very important that it cannot be
fotged easily. Apart from using special ~tk$ and papers,
hrymias also have many other security featm-es. For example.
there is a polymer thread embedded in the notes, which you
can see when it is held up to the light. In addition, there are

The Khanenko Museum
A Mw,cums today are <Ioing their beSt to shake ofltheir imagc~
as rather dull places, where you ..-an see endless items which mcan
nothing to you, Instead they are now trying to bring exhibits alive.
The Khanenko Museum in K.yiy is no exception. The musewn,
whieh is also known as the Museum of\Xlcsrern and Oriental
Arts, sr:lmd as the personal art collection ofBohdan and Var\'ara
Khancnko. i( contaim masterpieces of world-famous artists.
There an: £h"YPoan statues. Roinan and Greek scuJpture.~, icons,
Persian ceramics, tt..>;tiles, jewcllcry and lots more:. There is also a
fascimcing history behind the museum which its curators want to
keep alive.
B \%0 were Bohdan and Varvara Khanenko~ Bohdan was a
bwyer and judge. He married Varvara, the daughter of a very
wealthy indU$trialist and the mu of them built up a collection
over their rorty years tt'>gcthcr. During that rime, they dreamed
ofopening a museum tOr thdr collection. However, the museum
didn't open until after Bohdan died in 1918. Shortly aht:r, Varvara
gave me collection to Kyiv, and in 1919 it became a state museum.
C The collection at that time was large for a priY:.lte collection
and since men, the number of exhibitS has increased to thirteen
rimes the original size, mainly thanks [0 the buying ofother
collections. Now there are around 2S,()OO exhibit'; covering a hugt'
geographical and historical tallge.
D For lovers of European paintings there
are works by Vdazquez, BretlgheJ, Rubens
and others, many of which have stories
behind them, For example, in 1912, Bohdan
bought one ofVclilquez's many painrings of
Infant.1. Margarira, daughrerofKing Philip
IV ofSpain (painted around 1660). Bohdan
decided to show oft'his new painting and
organised a banquet without telling the guests what the occasion
was. At the Start of the dinner the paintil\gwa.~ hidden behind a
curtain. When the curr-din wa~ fmall), pulled back. the guests weir
impressed and the portrait became a talking point in Kyiv.
E But how is the museum bringing its collection to lift ~ In
particular it tries to make the viewing of the exhibits interactive
and interesting. For instance, actors present The sC'/Jetl Wy'lges of
Sinb.u/ tbe sailor, which is used to explain the Eastern collection [
SGhool children. Al~o for children, there are painting sessions and,
for adults, concerts. Special exhibitions show worb from other
mU&eum~ around the world, as wdl as private collections from
within Ukraine. The museum has exceUent display techniques,
and provides tours and audioh'Uides in Ukrainian, Russian and

An Invaluable Experience
A Tom
My friend talked me into volunteering on a historical preservation proJEC
one summer, and I have to say, I didn't regret my decision to take part at
all. In fact, it turned out to be a perfect place to spend my holiday- t he
countryside was wonderful, there was a lovely town nearby and the castle:
we were working at was really Interesting. It all made for a great working
environment with a strong sense of teamwork. I made friends with
people from all overthe world during my stay, and the local people were
extremely friendly - they were very happy to show us around the area and
the nearby town. We did a lot of sightseeing thanks to them, and we felt
we'd had the chance to really get to know the local community.
B lucy
I didn't really want to do any voluntary work, but after Ifinished my
degree, I couldn't find ajob and I was unemployed until I happened to
meet Barbara, one of my mum's friends . She mentioned she was looking
for someone to handle all the administrative tasks at the refugee charity
where she worked. Needless to say, I've gained invaluable experience
while I've been here, which is going to come in very handy when I start
job-hunting again. I can now dearly demonstrate on my CV that I've got
good interpersonal and organisational skills. I've also found out that this
is actually the career I want to pursue. Thanks to the six months I've spent
working here, I've got a really good fee! for what charity work is like and
hope to find a permanent position doing a similar job soon.
e lucas
I don't really understand some of my friends who aren't interested in
volunteering or won't even contem plate doing any voluntary work. I reall
do believe that as a volunteer you're not only helping the community, but
you're also hel ping yourself. Thanks to my volunt ary work, wh ich was
mainly to do with restoring the ruins of an ancient castle, I tearned new
skills and also quite a lot about myself. Ifound out I'm quite a methodical
worker With far more patience than I ever thought I had. This insight has
helped me form a better picture of myself. When I came back from my
time on the voluntary scheme, I applied to do completely different college
courses from those I had previously planned on doing.
D Richard
After reading an article about an archaeological project in my area, I was
really interested in the research going on there, and I decided to visit
the site to see if I could get involved in some way. I was introduced to
the volunteering coordinator, who explained that quite a lot of work had
already been done, but there was still quite a lot left to do. We talked
about the aims of the archaeological research and the way the work was
organised. I loved the level of enthusiasm everyone had for the project
so I signed up to help out over the summer. The experience really helped
to improve my interpersonal skills and I feel much more self-confident
now and ready to deal with any kind of challenge that comes my way in
the future.

Not everyone decides to do voluntary work for completely selfless
reasons. Some people get involved because they want to see new
places, meet new people or experience new things. That's fine,
but before committing yourself to anything, it's a good idea to do
some research on the kinds of projects available and the type of work
Involved . Volunteering isn't just about having a good time; thert': is
often hard work to be done too, so it's good to have a clear Idea of
what will be expected of you before you sign up. Going Into it with
open eyes and realistic expectations will definitely help you get the
most out of it.

1 think one of me worst Illomcms of my life was when I nearly
didn't make jt to my final German oral exam at university.
Three friends and I had taken advantage of the week
bcnvecn the end of the written exams and our oral to
visit some people we knew in Aug~burg in. Germany.
Unfortunately, there was a tram strike across the whole of
the U K the day we were due to travel home and wc, being
students. had optl!d to travd by train.
Our journey by train and ferry baek to England wcnt well,
but wc. arrived in London to find that there were no traim
back to Manchester that night. Our initial plan was to
spend the night m Euston station and cateh the first train
the next morning, but the taxi drive r who took us to Eusron
refused to let four young girls spend the night in a railway
station. Instead he took us to a makeshifT hostel for stranded
passengers in a gym somewhere in me middle of London,
and so wc stayed the night there.
The next morning we got up at 6 a.m., grabbed our things.
and went baek to ElIston to catch the train. We arrived in
Manchcm:r at 10.30 with JUSt enough time to run home,
get ~howcrcd and gCI to university in time for our orals at
12.30. I still can't bdieye wc actually made it, and I hate to
think what would have happened if we'd spent the night in
the station.
