  1. 1A German architect, Werner Aisslinger, thinks that he [blank_start]has found[blank_end] the answer to our crowded cities. It is a portable micro-apartment. These apartments [blank_start]are called[blank_end] ‘Loftcubes’. and they can be lifted onto any empty, flat roof by helicopter! Each Loftcube [blank_start]is designed[blank_end] with a kitchen and bathroom, as well as a large living area. They are extremely modern - they have been built using all the latest ideas, fabrics, and technology in interior design. The Loftcube [blank_start]was first shown[blank_end] at an exhibition in Berlin several years ago, but Berlin wasn’t the right place for them, because it doesn’t have a housing shortage. These apartments are needed in busy, overcrowded cities, such as London and New York. They [blank_start]don't cost[blank_end] very much. In the future, Aisslinger hopes that young professionals who often move from city to city [blank_start]will buy[blank_end] them. When it is time to move, they will just take their home w ith them! 'Since the Berlin exhibition we [blank_start]have been speaking[blank_end] to a number of companies interested in building them, but no decisions have been made yet,’ says Aisslinger.

  2. 2In a profession where black women are still in the minority, Alek Wek [blank_start]has earned[blank_end] the title 'super-model'. Her life, however, hasn’t been easy. Alek was born into a poor family in Sudan in 1977, the seventh of nine children. In 1983, civil war broke out. In the end, Alek's family decided to move to Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, where unfortunately Alek’s father died. In 1991, Alek and her younger sister moved to the UK. Their older sister [blank_start]had moved[blank_end] to Britain three years earlier. They [blank_start]were given[blank_end] refugee status in Britain. Wek [blank_start]was pursuing[blank_end] a course in fashion and business when she was discovered by a scout from the Models One agency in London. The discovery [blank_start]made[blank_end] her available for the music video “Golden Eye” by Tina Turner, which eventually became the starter of her professional career. Since then Wek has been a top model for over 15 years. However, these days she [blank_start]spends[blank_end] more and more time working with charities which help Africa. Since 2002, Wek has been an advisor to the US Committee for Refugees. In the 1990s, Alek Wek changed the stereotype of how a model should look. Now she [blank_start]is changing[blank_end] the stereotype of how a model should behave.

  3. 3Buying a cup of coffee isn't as easy as it used to be. Years ago there were only two kinds of coffee - black or white. But nowadays when you go into a coffee shop in the UK you [blank_start]are given[blank_end] about twenty different options. In big supermarkets we also have to choose between thousands of products. When we [blank_start]are buying[blank_end] clothes or electrical gadgets, we [blank_start]are constantly forced[blank_end] to choose from hundreds of possibilities. People often think that being able to choose from a lot of options is a good thing. When we choose one thing we feel bad because we think we are missing other opportunities, and this makes us dissatisfied with what we [blank_start]have chosen[blank_end]. Research shows that we feel happier when we have less choice. Professor Mark Lepper at Stanford University in America found that people who [blank_start]tried[blank_end] six kinds of jam felt happier with their choice than those who [blank_start]were offered[blank_end] 24 jams to taste. But if all this choice is bad for us, what can we do about it? Professor Lepper suggests that we should try to relax when we have to choose something to buy. 'Don't take these choices too seriously or it [blank_start]will become[blank_end] stressful, he says.

  4. 4"I was working as an IT Manager for a small publishing company when the company [blank_start]was taken[blank_end] over by a large multinational media organisation," said Jane Dickson when she was asked to tell how she got started. "Initially our new owner promised to help our small company at the hard times. Things got worse, though, and our company closed down. We [blank_start]were all made[blank_end] redundant (уволить) — it was horrible! I wasn't sure what I [blank_start]would do[blank_end] next. I turned down several offers of work as I didn't want to rush into anything. Then, one day, I woke up and thought: I [blank_start]will set[blank_end] up my own business!' At first it was tough. I had to see to everything myself, but I set at it with dedication and refused to give up, whatever happened. Over the last five years the company [blank_start]has grown[blank_end] considerably, and I have taken on more and more staff. Dickson's now employs over five hundred people! I don't feel satisfied yet, though. We [blank_start]are continually bringing[blank_end] in new products, and I [blank_start]want[blank_end] to continue doing that! I understand that I have to speed up our production process if I want to make it more efficient."

  5. 5Last week, in a private rehabilitation clinic outside Edinburgh, Leo Edwards, a sixteen-year-old schoolboy, [blank_start]was going[blank_end] through severe withdrawal symptoms. The boy's problem [blank_start]was diagnosed[blank_end] as "Net obsession" - an over-dependency on the Internet. An international group of psychologists [blank_start]has recently suggested[blank_end] that anyone who is online for long periods is clinically ill and needs medical treatment. Leo Edwards is not an isolated case. Russel Hopkins, aged fifteen, from Gateshead in north-east England, is a typical online addict. Every day after school, and after dinner until three or four in the morning, he [blank_start]will be found[blank_end] in his room surfing the Net or playing computer games. By the end of the day he will have spent more than six hours online. Understandably, his parents are extremely worried. Not only his school work suffers, but Russel's addiction [blank_start]has also destroyed[blank_end] his social life and his spare-time interests. Instead of spending next weekend having a good time out with friends, he [blank_start]usually spends[blank_end] it indoors surfing the Internet. Many support groups for Internet addicts are online these days. The number of people who join them [blank_start]is constantly growing.[blank_end]

  6. 6The Asian Tsunami of December 26th 2004 was one of the most devastating natural disasters in recorded history. More than 225,000 people [blank_start]were killed[blank_end] in eleven countries, and the destruction [blank_start]reached[blank_end] as far as the east coast of Africa. The tsunami itself was caused by an earthquake whose epicentre was just off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. That created a huge tidal wave 24 metres high, which hit the region of Aceh and flattened everything in its path. Information about the tsunami [blank_start]wasn't exchanged[blank_end] between countries because of the lack of warning system in the area. Since the incident, the United Nations [blank_start]has been working[blank_end] on the creation of a system to avoid a similar disaster in the future. The prediction of tsunamis is only possible if the preceding earthquake [blank_start]is detected[blank_end]. They generally [blank_start]catch[blank_end] their victims completely by surprise.

    The only action inhabitants of coastal areas can take is to run to the hills inland and shelter there until the water [blank_start]gets[blank_end] away. However, the effect of a tsunami on the land is usually catastrophic, causing homelessness and the loss of livelihood amongst the people.

  7. 7Just several years ago very few people seriously [blank_start]considered[blank_end] taking echinacea (herbal medicine) or another herb to cure a cold or an infection. Today many of us firmly [blank_start]believe[blank_end] in the healing properties of these herbs. Scientific studies prove that such natural remedies [blank_start]are entering[blank_end] the mainstream of medicine. A growing number of physicians [blank_start]are now recommending[blank_end] alternative treatments along with traditional therapies. Of course, for your own good health, never begin any herbal or vitamin therapy unless it has been prescribed by a medical professional. To help you choose wisely, we [blank_start]have selected[blank_end] some remedies that [blank_start]are supported[blank_end] by an incredible amount of well-known evidence. So stock your shelves with these simple cures and you surely [blank_start]will have[blank_end] a healthy lifestyle.

  8. 8There is a story going round at the moment about a well-known journalist who went to interview Jack Parrish at a smart New York restaurant. The journalist was late, but fortunately, when he arrived, he [blank_start]found[blank_end] the great man was not yet there. On the way to his table, the journalist noticed a colleague from his paper and stopped to chat to her. After fifteen minutes, a waiter approached him. 'There's some young man at the door who says he is supposed to be having lunch with you. I think he [blank_start]is trying[blank_end] to be funny, because he says his name is Jack Parrish!' But of course it was. The twenty-four-year-old is becoming famous for the fact that he [blank_start]doesn't look[blank_end] like the owner of the world's most successful computer companies. His manner is polite, his voice is quiet and his clothes are clearly not expensive. Two years ago he started his own company, but before that no one [blank_start]had ever heard[blank_end] of him. Friends say that he [blank_start]hasn't changed[blank_end] at all and he is still living in his parents' house. So what does he do with his money? It [blank_start]is all used[blank_end] for business. But some people in the computer world are getting nervous — and they are right. It won't be long before someone in another company [blank_start]picks[blank_end] up the phone to hear that quiet voice saying that he is the new boss.

  9. 9[blank_start]Have you seen[blank_end] a football match recently? If you have, I'm sure that you [blank_start]heard[blank_end] lots of comments about the referee as well as about the players! There is no reason why there should not be the same number of male and female referees in the sport today. However, the number of female refs is still very low. Pat Dunn was the first woman in the UK to referee a men's football match but she [blank_start]wasn't allowed[blank_end] to do this for a long time. Pat was a strong supporter of women's rights in sport and [blank_start]became[blank_end] President of the Ladies' Football Association in 1969. Then she decided to train to be a referee. For a long time the Football Association refused to give her a certificate although she [blank_start]had passed[blank_end] the exams. But Pat [blank_start]continued[blank_end] fighting and she finally got permission in 1976. The next month she became famous when she refereed her first official FA game. Pat became a very good and successful referee. Today there are some famous female referees, like Bibiana Steinhaus from Germany who [blank_start]has just refereed[blank_end] the final of the Women's Football World Cup. But there are only a few like her. Football is still mainly a men's game - both for players and referees.

  10. 10Shaq O'Neal is one of America's most famous basketball stars. He is loved by lots of fans. He [blank_start]has been playing[blank_end] for the Los Angeles Lakers for more than six years. Shaq is 2 m 16 cm tall and has a lot of talent. But he hasn't always been a star. He was just an ordinary high school student with a lot of problems. At first Shaq didn't work hard at school. But soon hẹ [blank_start]was taught[blank_end] to do the right things both at school and at home. When he came home with a bad report again one day, his father said, "If it [blank_start]goes[blank_end] on like this, you [blank_start]won't be allowed[blank_end] to play basketball." So Shaq started to work harder at school and at basketball. He went to college and by the time he was 20 he [blank_start]had become[blank_end] one of the most famous sportsmen in the world. He [blank_start]has written[blank_end] a book and made rap CDs and, of course, a lot of money, since he [blank_start]started[blank_end] playing for the Lakers. Now he wants to held teenagers. He talks to them about drugs and about the future. He says, "You need a dream, and you have to work hard for it."
