Our cities are dying physically. In most city centres some of the oldest and
finest buildings are' crumbling : literally falling to pieces .. In the one hand, the
'foundations are being shaken by all the heavy traffic and, on the other hand, the
bricks and mortar are bcing eaten away by the fumes from the traffic. It's a slow
process but it's going on even though you can't see it.
Far more serious things are hiiPpening: The buildings can always be replaced
but what about the air ? You can hardly breathe it any more in our cities. And think
of the noise. Nowadays most city centres are slimply too noisy to live in . We've got
to become its master and not its slave.

Every journalist wants to work on one of the big national newspapers but most
of us have to start on a small local paper. Local papers circulate in a town or a _
particular area. They have 'small circulations, perhaps only a few thousand readers.
National papers circulate through OUt the whole country and may have circulations
of eight million readers.
There are two types of national papers, the "quality papers" and the "popular
papers", In a popular paper you may see a girl in a bathing suit or even less on the
second page arid the news often has a different angle to it. It is often more
sensatiorial.
A few years ago a driving examiner refused to give a girl a driving test. He
said her skirt was too short. In one of the popular papers this story was onthe front
page. Eight paragraphs were within about it and there was also a picture of the girl.
In one of the quality papers the story Was on -a back page and only two paragraphs
were written about it.
21. "The news has a different angle" means

In I 877 an Italian astronomer named Schiaparellinoticed some dark markings
on the surface of Mars. He called them "canali", which, by the way, doesn't
necessarily mean canals in English. Later an American named Lowell studied these
markings. He. said that they were canals and that intelligent beings had put them
there. Since then other astronomers with better equipment have also been observing
Mars and they haven't seen any canals there. Since 1965 we've also had fairly good.
photographs of the surface of Mars. We got them from a space probe; Mariner 4. It
went past Mars and sent back photographs and measurements. Since 1971 we've
had even better photographs from another space probe. There might be primitive
plant life there hut there is no intelligent life there, nor any green monsters with
eyes in the middle of their foreheads, either.

When Margaret went into Wilson's office, she noticed that he looked very
tired. In fact, he looked awful. She knew it was not a good time to ask for the rise,
but she felt she had to. She tried to think of something casual to say first. It'was
always best to begin such conversations casually.
"Uh .,. you're looking a bit tired," she said. Wilson sighed. He told her he had
just seen the Financial Controller, the man who told everybody at the BBC how
much they could spend.
" As usual, he said I was, spending too much. It wasn't a very pleasant
conversation," he said. Then he mentioned that he had a headache. Margaret began
to feel sorry for him. She offered to get some aspirins fOThim from the canteen.
"You needn't bother. I can go there myself," he said.
"Oh, but I'm going to the canteen anyway. It's no trouble," ,she protested.
Wilson thanked her and gave her some money for the aspirins. She left. It was
only, after she had closed the door behind her that she realized something. She had
forgotten to ask for the rise!

It isn't strictly true that one half of the world is rich and the other half is poor. It
is one-third that is very rich and two-thirds that are very poor. People in the rich
thiJ:d don't realize the enormous difference between them and the other two thirds.
A very simple example is that a dog or a cat'in North America eats better than a
child in the poorer countries. A fisherman in South America may be catching fish
which is processed into pet food and yet his own children are not getting enough
protein for their - bodies to develop properly. Although a lot of the world;s natural
resources like oil come from these poorer countries, we in the richer countries are
probably using sixty times as much of these resources as a person in Asia or Africa.
The richer countries are in a position to dictate to suppliers what kind of prices they
are prepared to pay for these natural resources. In some cases the .process have
gone down. In others they have remained steady. But ,the prices the richer countries
get for their own exports have continlled to rise. So they ,are getting richer and
richer ,and thepoqrercountries are getting poorer:

. B. few people are rich and many people are poor.
C. one half of the world isrich and the other halris poor.

22. What does the writer say aboutthe " two divisions"? .
A. People don't realise the big difference between them .
.. B. The two divisions are impossible to be recognized ..
C. The rich and the poor can't understand each other.
D. 'Ihereis a big contrast between the 2 divisions.

Linda found a seat in a compartment

that was full of middle-aged
.businessmen. One of them offered to put hel~case on the rack for her. She politely
told him she could do it herself. The man started talking to her after she had sat
down. She tried to avoid getting into a conversation but it was impossible. He was

There wasn't a chance to have a proper' summer holiday last year, so we decided
we'd better have SOmesort of a.winter holiday, Some friends of oill'shad told u's we
might not enjoy a skiing holiday, that it was always so cold you had to go skiing just
,to keep warm. We only had eight days instead of our normal fortnight away. All
Itogether, with rt:e return flight, accommodation, etc., it came to about 125 for the
'three ofus. And it was worth every penny. I mean, I work hard aU the year round. I
need a complete change and I'm willing to pay for it. I'd certainly recommend a
holiday like this to anyone. We saved up for it, by the way, by cutting down on

When Wilson got to the airport, his flight was ah'eady being called over the
loudspeakers. The day before he had cancelled his ticket for a morning flight and
had booked an afternoon flight instead. He had to go to the reservations desk to
collect his new ticket.
He apologized for being late. The reservation clerk smiled and began to look
through the reservations in front of her. T):lenher smile disappeared and she began
to look won-ied.
" Your ticket doesn't seem to be here," she said. " Let me check it with the
computer."
The computer clicked and whirred and lights began to flash. Just fhen, his
flight was called a second time. Wilson became very nervous. Finally the girl
looked up.
"There's been a mistake. Your new ticket was sent to you by'post. That's why it
isn't here," she said. It took her only a short time to write out a new one. Wilson
managed to catch the plane just before it took off. "What a way to start a holiday,"

He did not even hear her at first. She asked again. She wanted to know if he had
an~ coats like it with a detachable lining. He did not seem to understand what a
detachable lining was. She explained. Then she went on looking. She noticed that
th salesman seemed to be watching. another customer in the department all the
T
time. The other customer, a middlecaged woman left the department. The salesman
immediately went to the phone and told somebody on the other end.thatthewoman
h~d gone and had definitely taken two leather bells without paying for them. Then
hi turned to Linda and explained that he was not a salesman at all but a store
detective. Later,. Linda read in the paper that a woman had been arrested for

needed some more. That was why he had to see him. The two men did not get on

controlling himself, but he managed somehow. He explained that he wanted the
money in order to make more programs.
"And why do you want to do that?" the FC asked sharply. Again, Robert almost
lost his temper. "Because more and more people are listening to my department's
programs. There's a great demand for them," he answered.
The FC did not seem to believ~ him. But Robert had a report on the numbers
of listeners to all EBC programs. The FC became less confident. Robert threw the
report dOWn on the table and told him to read it.
The FC looked at it in silence. The figures proved that he had been wrong btlt

a world of words. By talking to one another, people are able to know and to
understand one another. A people's language allows them to do this.

seem strange or wrong. But each language is clear to the people that speak it.
