II. Read the text “Food Facts”.
Food Facts
Around the world, people have beliefs about certain food and drink. Some people think that
chicken soup is good for a cold. Others believe that it is unhealthy not to eat meat. The
question is, are any of these beliefs true? Read this fact sheet to find out.
Belief: Chicken soup helps to fight a cold.

Fact: For centuries, people have believed that chicken soup is a good cold remedy. Now,
doctors say this belief may be true. Researchers think that chicken soup contains a special
chemical that stops a cold from getting worse. Also, heat from the soup can make a person
feel better.
Belief: A vegetarian diet is unhealthy.

Fact: Meat, especially red meat, contains protein that the body needs. A person who doesn’t
eat meat can get enough protein and be healthy by eating tofu, nuts, and certain vegetables.
Belief: Chocolate causes pimples.

Fact: This is a common belief that is not true! Many researches say that eating chocolate
does not cause pimples. More often, the cause is stress or not getting enough sleep.
Belief: Tea is better than coffee.

Fact: A study in 2002 showed that black or green tea contains substances that can protect
your heart, fight cancer, and lower fat in your body. Coffee does not do this.
Belief: Foods like bread and potatoes are like bread are fattening.
Fact: Bread and potatoes do not contain much fat, or many calories. Eating too much and
not exercising can cause us to gain weight. Also, adding fattening things like butter to bread
and potatoes can raise the number of calories we eat.

BLOOD TYPES
Until the early twentieth century, attempts to transfuse blood from one person to another
person were usually unsuccessful. Then, in 1901, Karl Landsteiner, an Austrian scientist,
discovered that blood was divided into four types. These four blood types were named A,
B, AB, and O. Blood type O is the most common around the world. Blood type A is the
second most common, and type AB is the least common. If people with type A blood are
given type B blood, or people with type B blood are given type A blood, they will probably
die.
In 1927, a Japanese doctor, Furukawa Takeji, carried out

research and carne up with the idea that people with
different blood types had different personalities. Type A
people are said to be calm and serious; people with type B
blood are curious, cheerful, and outgoing; people with
type O blood are generous and honest; while those with
type AB blood are caring, original, and careful.
In recent years, interest in blood types has grown in the

United States, and one book, Eat Right for Your Type, has
been a hit with people who want to lose weight.
The four main blood types:

A, B, AB and O.

Blood
types’
Personalities
One of the most common ways to analyze personalities in Japan is by blood types.
Although people don’t seem to take it too seriously, you can often hear people say "He’s
a text-book A-type", or "I can’t get along with blood type B".
I have heard so many times about personalities of each blood type that I can remember
by memory what characteristics they have. Let’s see if your blood type and your
personality coincide with following descriptions.
Blood type A
Punctual. Tidy. Rational. Nervous: People of this blood type values punctuality, order,
and rules. The rooms of blood type A would be always tidy and clean, with everything in
right order. They can be perfectionists. In a way, they are the most trustable people.
Blood type B
Strong sense of self. Creative. Passionate. Capricious: People of this blood type tend to
have strong wills what they want to do. While they are good company and entertaining
when they are in a good mood, they can get angry easily, and later forget it quickly. They
are creative, but sometimes they can appear selfish.
Blood type O
25
Generous. Easy going. Compatible: People of this blood type are most compatible with
other blood types. They don’t care about small things, and always keep their own pace.
Sometimes they can appear lazy.
Blood type AB
Mysterious. Clever. Two-faced: Basically they have characteristics of both blood type A
and B. They can have 2 different faces and it is difficult for other blood types to
understand what they are really thinking. Thus, they appear mysterious.
II. Look up the meaning of five technical words from the reading.
1. ____________________________________________________________
2. ____________________________________________________________
3. ____________________________________________________________
4. ____________________________________________________________
5. _____________________________________________________________
V. Read carefully the last paragraphs and correct mistakes.
Normally people don’t go judging others’ personalities just by blood types When they say
he’s blood type A" it is when they see one of his many characters that fits the descriptions of
blood type A. obviously anyone has a little bit of all of those characteristics And at the same
I have many friends who fit so well on those descriptions there are people who don’t even so
this personality analysis is popular in Japan There is a morning news program that shows
which blood type is the luckiest for the day I think the reason why it is so popular in Japan
to judge by blood types is that the 4 types of blood are roughly speaking, equally spread in
Japan. In Europe for example blood type A is dominant and in North and South America
more than 90% is blood type O As I know that it is senseless to judge people by blood types
when I hear the blood type of my boyfriend I cannot help thinking if his blood type fits his
character
 Discussion Class. What do you think?
1. Do you agree with the description of your own blood type given in the passages?
2. What other adjectives would you use to describe yourself?
3. Do you believe in other ways of telling someone’s personality, for example, star signs or
palm-reading?

Don’t go to the gym in winter!
We all know that exercise is good for health. So on January 1 st we often start
the New Year with a resolution: to go to the gym three times a week. But
what happens? The first week we go three times, the second week we go
twice, and the third week we stop going. The same thing happens with diets.
After Christmas we start a new healthy eating plan. We are very enthusiastic
at first, but after two or three weeks, we stop.
Carl Harris, a personal trainer, says this is because winter is the wrong time of
the year to start new exercise routines and diets. In the winter the days are
short and dark, and it’s cold outside. Our bodies want food and sleep, not
diets and exercise. His advice for people who want to start a healthy lifestyle
in January is to make small changes “Try to cut out chocolate and cakes for
three days a week, but don’t eliminate them completely. Go for short walks

I. Read the definition of blood. Underline the technical words. Make an outline with this
information in your notebook.
Blood
Blood is a highly specialized circulating tissue consisting of several types of cells
suspended in a fluid medium known as plasma. The cellular constituents are: red blood
cells (erythrocytes), which carry respiratory gases and give it its red color because they
contain hemoglobin (an iron-containing protein that binds oxygen in the lungs and
transports it to tissues in the body), white blood cells (leukocytes), which fight disease, and
platelets (thrombocytes), cell fragments which play an important part in the clotting of the
blood Medical terms related to blood often begin with hemo- or hemato- (BE: haemo- and
haemato-) from the Greek word "haima" for "blood." Anatomically, blood is considered a
connective tissue from both its origin in the bones and its function.

Computers in the Classroom
Kids are going all over the world without ever leaving their school. They are

America. They are wired to the Internet through their computers.

Internet. It includes pictures of Peggy, her school, her
mom, dad and friends. You can send her mail, too.
A scientist helped to wire the school. He says, "There is a plan to connect 12 thousand
California schools to the Internet."
Wiring schools in California can cost a lot of money. It needs to be done on volunteer

ADVERB
Adverbs usually tell how, where or when something has been done. In other words, they
describe the form, place or time of an action.
An Adverb is a word that describes, explains, or limits a verb, an adjective, or another
adverb.
An adverb follows the same rules for comparison as an adjective (clearly, more clearly,
most clearly); while most words ending in ly are adverbs, not all adverbs end in ly (here,
there, never, not, down, quite, etc.)
An adverb usually answers questions like When? Where? How? Why? How much?
Examples:

Form slowly Jane drives slowly.
Place here The party is going to take place here.

Get Out of Your Car!
Every day 100 million people in the United States get into their cars and drive to work
alone. They sit in t cars on crowded roads, moving slowly. They look at the other
people alone in their cars, too. There has to be a better way to get to work!
There is! Some people take the bus or subway to work. Other people drive with
friends in a car pool. Some companies buy vans so their workers can drive to work together.
Other companies are moving their offices to the suburbs so that more employees can walk to -
work. These are all good ideas but some people are trying more unusual ways to get to work.
Garrett Jackson owns an athletic shoe store. To get to work he had to

drive around the Santa Monica Mountains. He got home so late that he
didn't have time for his hobby, running. Garrett likes to run marathons,
races that are 26.2 miles (41.92 km) long. One day Garrett had an idea. He
had to drive 15 miles around the mountain to get to his store, but it was
only 7 miles over he mountain. So Garrett started
running to work. Now Garrett enjoys his hobby twice a
day.
Midori Harada was frustrated. Cars on Interstate 95 hadn't moved an inch

for 15 minutes. She was going to be late for work, and she didn't know what
to do. Then she remembered she had her daughter's inline skates in the trunk.
Midori pulled off the highway and parked her car. She put on the skates, put
her shoes in her briefcase, and skated to work. Now she skates to work
almost every day. She gets to work faster and gets her exercise, too.
High in the Rocky Mountains, some people ski to work. The ski lift
opens at 6 a.m. and takes these workers up the mountain. They ski
down the other side to get to their jobs in town. At the end of the day,
they put their skis on a bus and ride back home.
There are many ways to get out of our cars. There are many good

First in Life In this issue of The University Express, Lynn Zhou

interviews students on campus about important ‘firsts’ in their lives. Read their anwers to the
question:
What was an important first in life for you?
A) For me, an important first was getting my dirver’s license. In Spain a person can do
this at age eigtheen. That’s when I got mine. Being able to drive my father’s car
gave me the freedom to do lots of things. For example, I’m from Madrid and my
girlfriend is from a suburb about twenty miles away. Driving made it easy for me to
see her more often. Also, I was able to take weekend trips with friends to other
cities.
B) I went on my first date at sixteen with my best friend’s brother. We went to see a
movie together, but we didn’t talk much. We were both very shy. Two weeks later, I
went to a high school dance with him and we had a great time. After that, we spent
most of the summer together, but then he and his family moved. I guess you could
say he was my first boyfriend.
C) An important first for me was traveling alone from Korea to the United States.
When I was seventeen, I spent the summer in New York City studying English. I
took aplane to the States by myself. It was my first visit to another country and I
was scared, but I learned to be more independent. I also made friends from another
countries, Now I’m back in the United States and going to graduate school!

Dr. Martin Cooper for Motorola.
81
US03906166
09/16/1975
Radio telephone system
Inventors: Martin Cooper, Richard W. Dronsuth, ; Albert J. Mikulski,
Charles N. Lynk Jr., James J. Mikulski, John F. Mitchell, Roy A.
Richardson, John H. Sangster.
Dr Martin Cooper, a former general manager for the systems

division at Motorola, is considered the inventor of the first
modern portable handset. Cooper made the first call on a portable cell phone in April
1973. He made the call to his rival, Joel Engel, Bell Labs head of research. Bell
Laboratories introduced the idea of cellular communications in 1947 with the police
car technology. However, Motorola was the first to incorporate the technology into
portable device that was designed for outside of a automobile use. Cooper and his co-
inventors are listed above.
By 1977, AT&T and Bell Labs had constructed a prototype cellular system. A year later,
public trials of the new system were started in Chicago with over 2000 trial customers.
In 1979, in a separate venture, the first commercial cellular telephone system began
operation in Tokyo. In 1981, Motorola and American Radio telephone started a second
U.S. cellular radio-telephone system test in the Washington/Baltimore area. By 1982,
the slow-moving FCC finally authorized commercial cellular service for the USA. A
year later, the first American commercial analog cellular service or AMPS (Advanced
Mobile Phone Service) was made available in Chicago by Ameritech.
Despite the incredible demand, it took cellular phone service 37 years to become
commercially available in the United States. Consumer demand quickly outstripped the
1982 system standards. By 1987, cellular telephone subscribers exceeded one million
and the airways were crowded.

I Can!
Kacey McCallister always dreamed of playing basketball on the Boy’s Club team. At first the coach wouldn’t
let him play, so Kacey practiced hard. Now he is on the team, but he is not the best player. This 11-year-
old boy can dribble and pass as well as the other kids, but he moves up and down the court more slowly.
And shooting a basket is difficult for Kacey because he has no legs.
Kacey lost both legs in an accident. When he was six, he ran into the
street and a tractor trailer hit him. But Kacey doesn’t let his physical challenge
stop him from doing the things he loves. He has learned to play many sports.
In basketball he dribbles the ball with one hand and uses his other hand to
move his body around the court. Kacey also plays baseball. He can catch and
throw the ball very well. He can hit the ball well, too. He is the team’s catcher,
so he doesn’t have to move around so much.
Kacey is one of more than 50,000 physically callenged people in the United
States who play sports. These days physically challenged people are doing
everything from biking and scuba diving to mountain climbing and rafting.
They are dancing and doing martial arts.
Some physically challenged people are great

athletes. With hard work and strong wills, they go
beyond their physical challenges and make their
dreams come true. Sharon Hedrick was the first woman to race the Boston
Marathon in a wheelchair. She also competed in the 1988 Seoul Olympics. There
she won the women’s wheelchair 800-meter race in record time.
Diana Golden became the U.S. Alpine Skier of the Year skiing on one leg. She
came in 10th, racing against able-bodied skiers. In 1988 the U.S. Olympic
Committee named her Female Skier of the Year over all other racers, including
able-bodied skiers.
The Paralympic Games are for physically challlenged people.

In 1996 Atlanta, Georgia, held the Tenth Paralympic Games
right after the summer Olympics. Over 3,000 physically
challenged athletes from around the world competed. In
Nagano, Japan, 1,000 athletes competed in winter sports at
the Paralympic Games in 1998.
Everyone can learn a lot from psysically challenged athletes

like Kacey, Sharon, and Diana. Kacey says, “Don’t let
anything get you down. Just play and have
fun. Don’t let anybody tell you you can’t do
something. Just say, ‘I can’”,

IT´S MY FAMILY
Everybody in our family has different hair. My Papa's hair is like a broom, all up in the

straight. He doesn't need to comb it. Nenny's hair is slippery -- slides out of your hand.
And Kiki, who is the youngest, has hair like fur.
But my mother's hair, my mother's hair, like little rosettes, like little candy circles all curly
and pretty, because she pinned it in pincurls all day, sweet to put your nose into when she
is holding you, holding you and you feel safe, is the warm smell of bread before you bake
it, is the smell when she makes room for you on her side of the bed still warm with her
skin, and you sleep near her, the rain outside falling and Papa snoring. The snoring,, the
rain, and Mama's hair that smells like bread.
