Read the following text attentively and then decide whether the following statetnents are true (T) or false (F):
A friend of mine once told me of his first efforts to speak Japanese. He was working in an American company
in Tokyo where all eommunication in the workplace was conducted in EngSish, so he had no pressing need to learn
the language. His wife, however, was taking Japanese lessons and passed on to him what she had learnt. The first few
times he aired his Japanese in public, his efforts were met with politeness but he nevertheless got the impression he
was doing something wrong. Quite some time went by before one of his Japanese colleagues plucked up the courage
to teii him he spoke Japanese 'like a woman' and explained that often different vocabulary is used for the same objects
depending on whether a man or a woman is speaking.
Japanese is not the only language which makes such distinctions, and, although the vocabulary doesn't
change, research shows that gender can affect speech patterns in English too.
1. The story is about a Frenchman.
2. She was working in an American company in Japan.
3. Speaking Japanese at work wasn't compulsory.
4. He, very rarely, spoke Japanese in public.

6. Whenever he spoke Japanese he felt quite comfortable.
7. Speaking 'life a woman' in Japanese means differences in the vocabulary.
8. 'Gender' refers to people of different ages.
9. Gender affects speech patterns in different languages.
10. In English, gender influences both the speech pattern and the vocabulary.

Read the article "SHOP TILL YOU DROP!"
Shopping - a dream come true or a terrible nightmare? Some shopping is necessary. t can also be fun. For many
people it is a hobby, often a very enjoyable one. We have even invented a new phrase, Retail Therapy, to describe
the good feelings we can get from buying things. Shopping makes many of us feel better.
However, it can go badly wrong too, when, for some people, their spending gets out of control. Without a doubt, we
live in a very 'spend-happy' society. Generally, we are spending more than we earn and many people are finding
themselves in debt.
For some people, shopping can become a real addiction. It can be a serious condition in which people don't feel
happy unless they are buying something. Often they don't need the things they are buying; sometimes they don't even
want them. 21-year-old dancer, Ms T, says that she is a ' shopaholic' although she doesn't see herself as having a
problem. 'I just ike to look nice all the time,' she says. 'I like clothes and I especially have a passion for shoes. I've
got 205 pairs of shoes!' She says that she doesn't have to spend a lot. Her shopping trips can cost her anything
from lOp to 10.000, but she says she must buy something every day.
Strangely, it was being a shopahoic that gave 'Ms T the opporunity o become a pop singer. She was in a chat
room for shopaholics on the Internet when she was found by a member of the new pop group Scam. They had just
written a song called Retail Therapy about the dangers of shopping addiction. 'We wrote the song because we've got
friends who've been in that position. We've seen it. They get all the credit cards and get themselves in real trouble,'
they said. The group went to the chat roorn bscause they were looking for an ordinary person who understood
shopaholics to be their lead singer. They didn't want a model or a famous person, just someone that other woraen
could reiate to.
Scam were very pleased to find 'Ms T'; but even though she has recorded the song with them, they have still never
met her. The group want the song and the issue of shopping addiction to reinain more important than the people
involved.
They don't want to meet ' Ms T' and spend time on getting to know each other. 'Ms T' goes to the recording studio
alone and all their communication, including interviews for the press, is done via text messaging. Tt's worked out
well for me,' says *Ms T\ 'I can do all these interviews and things while I'm out shopping!'

to the house. Aggie said, "Let me play it"; so he heard her play it. It was perfectly in tune but she made him tune it
again. He swore to himself (it was the first time he had ever been heard to swear) but he did the job again. "It's easy

braham Lincoln is the most famous instance of the claim that Americans often make, that in their country a man
may rise from the lowest to the highest position in their land, "from log-cabm to White House " - for that is exactly
what Lincoln did.
He was born in 1809, in a small farm in Kentucky, but while Abraham was quite young, the family moved into the
wild forest land of Indiana. Here, his home was what was called a "half-faced cmp", that is, a rough shelter of logs
and boughs, enclosed on three sides and with the fourth side protected only by a roaring wo"d-fire. Though "Abe"
was young he was big and strong. At sight years of age an axe was put into his hand and he worked with the rest of
his family at their main task - clearing the land of trees.
Of education, he had hardly any. There was no pub'ic education in Indiana then; a few teachers got a living from
the small fees that they charged, and Abraham went to one or two of these from time to time and learned to read and
write and do simple arithmetic. "All told," he once said, "I attended school less than one year."
He took a book to read while he was ploughing, and when he had no paper or slate he would lie before the fire at
night practicing writing and arithmetic on a piece of wood and cleaning it again by shaving the writing off with a
hunting-knife.
Among the books that he read were A Life of George Washington, Robinson Crusoe, and The Pilgrim's
Progress, but the only book that he owned in his youth was the Bible, and its in-fluence is seen in all his speeches
and writings.
1. Abraham Lincoln was born in a rich family.
2. Lincoln was born in the 19th century.
3. When he was a child his family moved to Indiana.
4. Their house was made of bricks.
5. Little Abraham was called "Abe".

I think the last two days have been two of the most interesting days I have ever spent. I have seen a Welsh
Eisteddfod, a naional gathering of an enormous crowd of people devoted to music and poetry. The Welsh are a
nation of singers. Wherever you get a crowd of Welshmen, whether they're down the mine, in the factory or waiting
on the platform for a train, they just can't help bursting into song. "Anyone," said Mr. Evans, "who has heard a
crowd of 50,000 Welshmen before a rugby match at Cardiff singing 'Land of my Fathers', will never forget it." You
could hardly find a town
in Waies, however small, that hasn't a choir. Its conductor isn't a trained musician; he may be only a miner, an
agricultural labourer or "Jones the milk"; but the university lecturer or the doctor's daughter vvill be happy to work
under his leadership. The choir will gather in the iittle chapel almost every night for practice - they are preparing for
the Eisteddfod, and the pieces set for competition (this year they are two difficult works by Bach and Brahms) need
a lot of practice to bring them to perfection. I should think the Welsh are the only people in the world whose only
naional festival is devoted o music and poetry.

The old women told me that the house was built in 1955 and this was not hard to believe. The smal windows, the
uneven floors, the roughly-rnade doors and an ancient oak desk had obviously all seen the passing of many
generations. In fact I learned later that at that desk a certain parson, who lived in the house half a century after it had
been built, had written a bad-tempered diary, blaming his and the country's misfortunes on the government, and
sorrowing over the passing of the "good old days". The diary reminded me of some present-day letters to The Times,
in which all that is present is bad and all that is past is good.
was fascinated by the great open fireplace, over whose roaring iog fire pigs were roasted. It has occurred to me
that the parson would have had mc;e to complain about if, instead of a generous helping of roast pork, he had been
served with some of the meat we eat today.
The old woman, who was showing me round, seemed almost as ancient as the house. She took little notice of
me; I was merey another "gentleman from London" who would look round her beloved house and then decide
not to have it because there was no electricity, or no water, or because it was too far to walk from there to the
