The best present I got on my 16th birthday was the chance to play the National Lottery. I was really jealous of my parents and my older friends who put a bet on every week, so when I became old enough, I couldn’t wait to try it. I picked a set of numbers and from then on I used the same ones every time I played. My school exams finished on 13th June, so to celebrate, I put £3 on a Lottery ticket. That evening, just Mum and I were at home watching the numbers being drawn on TV. As the numbers were called, toy heart started pounding as I matched them to my ticket. "Mum. I’ve won the Lottery!", -1 shouted. We were so shocked we couldn’t speak! Dad came home from work and I made him check the numbers too, just to make sure we weren’t going mad. But even after he’d checked them, I still wouldn't allow myself to believe it, until finally I nervously dialed the number on the back of my ticket. "Well, Mr. Selby, at the moment it looks as if you’ve got a winning ticket. Go to your regional center and they’ll confirm it". 32. Why did Selby start playing the Lottery?

People’s eating habits are formed by a variety of factors. Even within the same family, different children can form different habits as a result of their interactions with parents and brothers and sisters. Parents' attitudes toward food have a strong influence on the development of children’s attitudes and create habits that will last a lifetime. If food is used as a reward, the daily behaviors lead to a dependence on food as a source of comfort. If parents tell children to clean their plates, children may eat more than they actually need and become overweight. People who are overweight often see themselves as unattractive. Eating too much is a common reaction to frustration and anxiety. Some people eat too much when they are tired, worried or scared. Psychologists believe that the reasons for obesity (being very fat) are frequently related to emotional problems and should be looked at in that light.

Somewhere around February it begins. The drizzle is coming down outside and the kids are bored on a Saturday afternoon.

Although I left university with a good degree, I suddenly found that lit was actually quite hard to find a job. After being unemployed for a few months, I realized I had to take the first thing that came along or I’d be in serious financial difficulties. And so, for six very long months, I became a market research telephone interviewer. I knew it wasn’t the best company In the world when they told me that I’d have to undergo three days of training before starting work and that I wouldn’t get paid for any of it. Still, I knew that the hourly rate when I actually did start full time would be a lot better than unemployment benefit, and I could work up to twelve hours a day, seven days a week if I wanted. So, I thought of the money I'd earn and put up with three days of unpaid training. Whatever those three days taught me - ad I can’t really remember anything about them today -1 wasn't prepared for the way I would be treated by the supervisors. It was worse than being at school. There were about twenty interviewers like myself, each sitting in a small, dark booth with an ancient computer and a dirty telephone. The booths were around the walls of the fifth floor of a concrete office block, and the supervisors sat in the middle of the room, listening in to all of our telephone interviews. 34.

With their bright red cloak and loud bell and voice, they could be seen and heard by everyone. Until the late 19m century, very few people could read. The town crier’s job was to stand in markets and public spaces, shouting the news to the residents of the town. He would ring his bell to attract people’s attention. His traditional loud cry of "oyez, oyez", which means “listen, listen", would tell people that there was important news. Records of town criers date from 1066, when we know they were used to spread the news of William the Conqueror’s invasion of Britain. Throughout history, they passed on news of war, politics and births and deaths of members of the Royal family. In 1666, news of the Great Fire of London was spread across the capital by town criers. As more and more ordinary people learned to read, the job of town crier gradually disappeared. Notices displayed for all to see and, later, newspapers brought people the news instead. London still has an official town crier who attracts tourists to the city. One of his proudest moments was announcing the birth of Prince William to the people outside Buckingham Palace.
A) they could be seen and heard everywhere. B) they were beautifully dressed. C) they stood in the markets and offered goods. D) they shouted news to the residents of the town.
A) more and more people became literate. B) they were tired of ringing the bell. C) there was no more wars to announce. D) Prince William was born.
We are so used to wearing shoes that few of us even think about them, apart from the times when we put them on and take them off. However, people didn’t always wear shoes. No one knows when people first began to use them. It is reasonable to suppose that the first shoes that covered feet were wrappings of animal skins worn in cold climates. Sandals worn in southern regions were most likely made of wood, with leather or cloth attaching the soles to the upper part of the foot. Over time, shoes became used not only for protection but also for decoration. For example, high heels came into fashion in the sixteen hundreds and were worn by men. However uncomfortable they are, people have continued to wear them for more than three hundred years. Today’s shoes are relatively cheap because most models are designed by computer, and their components are cut by laser and sewn together by programmed machinery. 34.
