Paris

The best way to get around is on foot or by metro, at least until you become familiar with the bus routes. Free maps are available at the Gare du Nord railway station and other metro or train stations. Buy a Paris Par Arrondissements (the Parisian A-Z) from any of the kiosks at metro entrances. This useful little book lists every street by arrondissement (district) and has maps with clear references. And you can always ask the locals for directions, of course. The Paris metro is easy to use, clean and fast. Follow sortie for the exit and correspondence to change lines. Buy a carnet of ten tickets to save money and stamp your ticket in the machine before you get on. The bus is also a great way to travel with a view, once you are familiar with the routes. Remember to stamp (composter) your tickets in the machines just after you get on. Central Paris is compact and the best way to get to know it is on foot, particularly to feel the atmosphere change slightly as you go from arrondissement toarrondissement. However, driving in Paris is only for the brave or mad. The easiest way to get a taxi in Paris is to find a rank at train and large metro stations. The white light on the roof indicates the taxi is free. You don’t have to tip taxi drivers but they appreciate it if you round up the fare.

Country cooking

When we think of a country, we often think of its food before almost anything else. Take an example: Japan. Doesn’t sushi come to mind just as soon as cars or kimonos? Or think of Britain. This time, it’s fish and chips, isn’t it? In other words, a nation’s food can be as much a part of the national image as anything else. And that’s because food is – or should be – a vital part of a national culture, just like its language and customs, and its arts and crafts. When I visit a new holiday destination, I always take the chance to discover the local food. For me, this is the most interesting thing about travel. And when I say local food, I don’t mean the mass-produced, badly cooked frozen food that often goes with a package holiday in a popular holiday resort. Whatever the hotel restaurant menu says, the authentic heart of the national cuisine is certainly not here. No, we have to take a break from the tourist areas. We have to take the time to explore the back streets and country towns and villages. We have to avoid places with menus in five languages and find the local people’s cafes and family restaurants. There we can find real country cooking.

Early experiments in town planning

As far as Britain is concerned, the first modern examples of town planning were the “garden cities”, such as Letchworth and Welwyn Garden City, built in the early 19000s. A “garden city” was a kind of idealized community, planned around large open spaces, public buildings, and so forth. Letchworth, for example, had no public house, i.e. a bar selling alcohol, and included for the first time the idea of “green belt”, that is to say an area of countryside surrounding the town. In some respects, Letchworth was ahead of its time, as the building plan also avoided the cutting down of trees, and the town was literally a “garden”, as there were green spaces and trees everywhere. Apart from the attractions of the site, there was also innovative design, as many of the houses were designed to be cheap, used modern building techniques such as prefabrication, and had front and back gardens, sheer luxury for many slum dwellers from London.

Содержанию текста соответствует утверждение

a. Letchworth was built in the forest

b. There was advanced and original design in Letchworth

c. InLetchworthpeopledon’tdrinkalcohol.

d. Only very rich people can afford to live in Letchworth

Most people believe that health is very important and, because of this, many are trying to eat more healthily. For example, people in the UK are eating less salt and more low fat margarine and milk; fruit is now America’s second-favourite snack and Japan is currently promoting cocoa because it is a healthy alternative to soft drinks like Coca Cola. These changes in eating habits are also having an effect on the food market. Global sales are increasing foe soy drinks and drinkable yoghurts more than any other food and sales of bread, pasta, and cereals are growing much more slowly. People are also becoming more interested in fresh fruit and vegetables and “farmers’ markets” are getting more popular throughout Europe. When they can, people often opt for “natural goodness”, and they’re buying more products that are healthy, like fruit, salads, and nuts. So it’s clear that things in the food world will never be the same again.

Our country is going through a period of accelerating change. Today, there are around 3.7 million people aged over 60 in this country but the large numbers of people who belong to the baby-boom generation will produce an explosion in the number of elderly people from around 2011. By 2030, there will be some 8.8 million and because the birth-rate in the period after the post-war baby boom has declined sharply, these elderly people will represent a much larger share of the country’s population than ever before in our history. In 1966, when we introduced our national pension scheme, there were about eight working-age people for every retired person, whereas today, there are about five, and in 2030, there will be only three. There has been another dramatic change which also affects this situation, as thanks to medical advances and higher living standards, life expectancy has increased and will continue to increase in future years. Today people can expect to live three years longer than in 1966. By 2030, they will live an average 4.5 years longer.

Something wholesale

My father’s office was on the fourth floor. Now he was sitting behind the large shiny desk which he had occupied since the departure of Mr Lane. As usual, on the top of his desk there stood a large jug of barley water. My father was now seventy-five years old. A serious operation had reduced him to a shadow of his former self. He had undergone it in an East End hospital while the bombs were raining down. His former pugnacity had largely evaporated. Previously he had been a man of impressive physique; he was now extremely thin and fragile, like a piece of old lace. But he was still exceptionally handsome, and in a suit of thick flannel, with a rose in his buttonhole and a fresh complexion, he looked like a small boy whose preparatory school had given leave to attend the wedding of an elder brother.

Ответьтенавопрос:

Did his father lose his weight?

a. Not in the slightestb. Not a bit c. Yes, a little bit d. Yes, quite a lot
