Each culture has a different ideal of beauty and throughout the ages, men and
women have done amazing things to achieve the ideal. They have had their hair
shaved, cut, colored, straightened, and curled; and they have their bodies
decorated with painting and tattoos. Here are some of today’s many options.
Getting your hair done is the easiest way to change your appearance. Today, both
men and women have their hair permed. This chemical procedure can curly hair
or just give it some body. If your hair is long, you can, of course, get it cut, but did
you know that you can also have short hair lengthened? You can have hair
extensions added to your own hair, and the effect can be either conservative or
very far out. You can have your hair colored and become a blonde, brunette, or
redhead, but you can also have it bleached white or get it dyed blue, green, or
orange.

Advice from Dr. Penny Lovejoy

"Dear Dr. Lovejoy, I’m a 25 year-old man. I have a good job as an office worker
with a successful construction company. My salary is pretty good, but I don’t make
enough money to live alone. Now I live with my parents, so that I can save money.
My problem is my girlfriend, Sheila. Sheila says I should move out from my
parents’ house. She says I’m not a “real man” if I don’t have my own apartment. I
don’t like it when she says this. It hurts my feelings. What should I do? Andrew in
Miami.

Dear Andrew, Don’t worry! I think you are a smart guy. You have a plan for your
future. You should talk to Sheila. Tell her your feelings. Tell her that you prefer to
live with your parents for now. Tell her that you plan to move out after you save
enough money. If Sheila doesn’t understand you, maybe she is not the right
girlfriend for you. Boyfriends and girlfriends must respect each other. True love is
based on respect.

Andrew says, “It hurts my feelings.” What is he talking about?

His company does not pay him a good salary.

His girlfriend criticizes his plans.

His parents don’t want him to live in their house.

The average U.S. teenager might watch as many as 18.000 hours of TV by the
time he or she graduates. You may think that anyone who watches this much TV
has got to understand how it works. However, most of us (not just teenagers) can’t
recognize many of the messages TV is sending. For this reason, many experts
think that everyone should become “TV literate.” People who are television literate
are able to understand how TV messages influence an audience. They don’t have
to believe everything they see on the tube. Here are some things you ought to
know about television. TV networks have to make money by selling time to
advertisers. This fact influences all commercial TV. A drama writer, for example,
may avoid topics that could embarrass the advertiser sponsoring the program.
TV’s world is not real. This might sound obvious, but you ought to remind yourself
often of this fact. After all, when you see something, you feel that it must be the
real thing. TV uses specific techniques and you can learn to identify them.
Lighting, camera angles, and music have got the ability to make things seem
beautiful, fightening, or funny. They can also make you feel that you must buy a
certain product. Get literate, and you’ll be able to enjoy TV, without being its
victim.

Everyone should become TV literate.

TV influences only teenagers.

TV’s world is real.

Read the following review. Choose the correct options to answer the question.

Working women can have a lot of responsibilities: jobs, social commitments,

families, etc. Successful women in top-level jobs have many tools which help
them fulfill all these roles. One of the most important is the cell phone. While a
good resumé helps women get a job when they post a job-wanted ad, a cell
phone helps them keep the job. They just press a button and can immediately
communicate with their families while at work, or with their jobs while at home.
Susan Richardson gives advice to women. She works for Horizons, a multi-
million-dollar cell phone company. Cell phones helped her become successful,
and she teaches other women the secret to her success. "The first step to
success is a balance between work and family. Cell phones make this possible,"
she says.

Dr. Anna Stinson is a psychologist. She says many people today use websites
like FriendClick because they are lonely. Many people feel isolated, she says.
They don't know how to meet people or make new friends. They often turn to

Advice from Dr. Penny Lovejoy

"Dear Dr. Lovejoy, I’m a 22 year-old woman. I just graduated from university and
started work at a large company last month. I’m a programmer for a major
software company. I really love my new job. It’s challenging and I have a good
salary. Last week, a guy in my office, “Bob”, invited me to go out with him on a
date. He’s nice and I kind of like him. But we work for the same company, so I feel
a little strange. Is it OK to go out with a co-worker? I look forward to your advice. –
Jennifer, New York.

Dear Jennifer,
Congratulations on finding a great job! Work is one of the main parts of our life.
It’s important to have a challenging job that you enjoy. Remember that you took
the job for your career. You didn’t take the job to meet future boyfriends or
girlfriends.

Most office romances end after a short time, and then life is very uncomfortable
for both people! My advice is to remain friends with the guy in your office, but don’t
go out on a date together. Keep your work life and social life separate.

What is the relationship between Ashley and Bob?

Ashley is Bob’s boss.

They work for the same company.

They have been dating for a long time.

your worrying."

Each culture has a different ideal of beauty and throughout the ages, men and

Getting your hair done is the easiest way to change your appearance. Today, both
men and women have their hair permed. This chemical procedure can curly hair
or just give it some body. If your hair is long, you can, of course, get it cut, but did
you know that you can also have short hair lengthened? You can have hair
extensions added to your own hair, and the effect can be either conservative or

Read the following review. Choose the correct options to answer the question.

Working women can have a lot of responsibilities: jobs, social commitments,

families, etc. Successful women in top-level jobs have many tools which help
them fulfill all these roles. One of the most important is the cell phone. While a
good resumé helps women get a job when they post a job-wanted ad, a cell
phone helps them keep the job. They just press a button and can immediately
communicate with their families while at work, or with their jobs while at home.
Susan Richardson gives advice to women. She works for Horizons, a multi-
million-dollar cell phone company. Cell phones helped her become successful,
and she teaches other women the secret to her success. "The first step to
success is a balance between work and family. Cell phones make this possible,"
she says.

money to live alone. Now I live with my parents, so that I can save money. My problem

parents for now. Tell her that you plan to move out after you save enough money. If Sheila

worker with a successful construction company. My salary is pretty good,
but I don´t make enough money to live alone. Now I live with my parents,
so that I can save money. My problem is my girlfriend, Sheila. Sheila says
I should move out from my parent´s house. She says I´m not a “real man”
if I don´t have my own apartment. I don´t like it when she says this. It hurts
my feelings. What should I do? Andrew in Miami.
Dear Andrew. Don´t worry! I think you are a smart guy. You have a plan for
your future. You should talk to Sheila. Tell her your feelings. Tell her that
you prefer to live with your parents for now. Tell her that you plan to move
out after you save enough money. If Sheila doesn´t understand you,
maybe she is not the right girlfriend for you. Boyfriends and girlfriends
must respect each other. True love is based on respect.

The average U.S. teenager might watch as many as 18.000 hours of TV by
the time he or she graduates. You may think that anyone who watches
this much TV has got to understand how it works. However, most of us
(not just teenagers) can't recognize many of the messages TV is sending.
For this reason, many experts think that everyone should become “TV
literate.” People who are television literate are able to understand how TV
messages influence an audience. They don’t have to believe everything
they see on the tube. Here are some things you ought to know about
television. TV networks have to make money by selling time to
advertisers. This fact influences all commercial TV. A drama writer, for
example, may avoid topics that could embarrass the advertiser
sponsoring the program. TV’s world is not real. This might sound
obvious, but you ought to remind yourself often of this fact. After all,

Advice from Dr. Penny Lovejoy

"Dear Dr. Lovejoy, I’m a 22 year-old woman. I just graduated from university and
started work at a large company last month. I’m a programmer for a major
software company. I really love my new job. It’s challenging and I have a good
salary. Last week, a guy in my office, “Bob”, invited me to go out with him on a
date. He’s nice and I kind of like him. But we work for the same company, so I feel
a little strange. Is it OK to go out with a co-worker? I look forward to your advice. –
Jennifer, New York.

Dear Jennifer,
Congratulations on finding a great job! Work is one of the main parts of our life.
It’s important to have a challenging job that you enjoy. Remember that you took
the job for your career. You didn’t take the job to meet future boyfriends or
girlfriends.

Most office romances end after a short time, and then life is very uncomfortable
for both people! My advice is to remain friends with the guy in your office, but don’t
go out on a date together. Keep your work life and social life separate.

Why does Jennifer like her new job?

Hi Luis,

I hope you’re doing well!

I want to invite you to a farewell party next Sunday at noon. It’s for Emi, an
international student. She lives with Paul Arnello, my boss. She’s going back to
Japan next week.

The party is at Enrico’s restaurant on Broadway. If you’re driving from your

apartment, take Columbus Street to Broadway, and turn left. Enrico’s is on the left
side of the street. There’s a parking lot at the corner of Broadway and Battery
Street.

I hope you can make it. It’ll be fun. Emi’s a great kid, and the Arnello parties are
always a blast!

Hope to see you Sunday!

Chris

Read the following passage. Choose the correct answer.

Modern Aircraft Navigation System

Modern aircraft use many additional methods of navigation. The pilot plots his
course on a flight plan before he takes off. After take-off, an altimeter tells his
height or 'altitude' above the ground or water. Instruments controlled by
gyroscopes show whether he is c1imbing or turning. Another instrument informs
him of 'drift' from his chosen course. An automatic pilot can navigate the plane
while he rests. Satellites in orbit around the Earth give him information about the
weather and his position. When he lands, radio beacons guide him down to the
runway.

According to the passage, ----.

the direction in which the pilot keeps going is determined before the flight

satellites can guide a pilot whether he is ascending or descending

gyroscopes are the devices which inform the pilot about weather conditions

You can get your nose shortened, or have your chin lengthened. If wrinkles make
you look like you’re always frowning, you can get them filled in with a collagen
injection (it only lasts four months), and costs about US 350.) You can even have
the shape of your body changed with liposuction, a process that removes fat cells.
There is some risk involved, so the decision to have cosmetic surgery requires
thought. Some ways of changing your appearance may be cheap and temporary.
However, others are expensive and permanent. So, think before you act, and
don’t let today’s choice become tomorrow’s regret.

Liposuction is a process to lengthen your chin.

Cosmetic surgery is very dangerous and cheap.
