MARIAM: That’s right. But I’m interested in moving. There’s a vacant apartment in your building, isn’t it?
OWNER: Yes. It’s a one-bedroom on the fourth floor. The rent is $1,600 a month, plus utilities.
MARIAM: Wow! That's a lot of money, isn’t it? Could you not lower the rent a little?
OWNER: Wait a minute! You came over here to talk to me, haven’t you? You want to live here, don’t you?

Violence on TV
hearing
I’m tired of-hear that violence on TV causes violence at home, in school, and on the streets.
Almost all young people watch TV, but not all of them are involved in committing crimes! In fact,
very few people choose acting in violent ways. To watch TV, therefore, is not the cause.
Groups like the American Medical Society should stop making a point of to tell people what to
watch. If we want living in a free society, it is necessary having freedom of choice. Children need
learn values from their parents. It should be the parents’ responsibility alone deciding what their
child can or cannot watch. The government and other interest groups should avoid to interfere in
these personal decisions. Limiting our freedom of choice is not the answer. If parents teach their
children respecting life, children can enjoy to watch TV without any negative effects.

alarming statistics on mobile phones and accidents out. Research from the National
Safety Council points out that cell phones and texting cause 1.6 million accidents each
year. Clearly, it’s time for drivers to get in the phone. And it's time for lawmakers to come
over with a plan to make all phone use by motorists illegal, including the use of headsets
and other hands-free technology. They must create a law to turn into our streets safe
places for drivers and pedestrians alike. Then the local authorities must carry out it.

focuses
Psychological research that focus on happiness requires a tool that can measure a person’s
feelings. A number of well-known researchers who they collect this type of data claim to have a
simple method that work well. They ask just one question, which is “How happy are you?” People
which respond to the question usually give their answer with a number. For example, on a scale of 1
to 10, a 1 would be “extremely unhappy” and a 10 would be “extremely happy." Professor Ed Diener,
that is a leading U.S. psychologist, says the method is surprisingly effective because it produces
answers that is honest and real. Of course there may be someone who feelings change throughout
the day, so there is a related type of measurement who uses handheld computers to send messages
to research participants to find out what they are doing at different times and what their mood is.
Technology is also important for scientists which make a connection between happiness and the

which
For my book report, I read The Clan of the Cave Bear, that-Jean M. Auel wrote
after several years of research. In this novel about the life of prehistoric people, the
main character is Ayla. She is found by a wandering clan after an earthquake kills her
family. The same earthquake destroyed the cave in which this clan had lived, and they
are searching for another home. The clan leader wants to leave Ayla to die. She is an
Other—a human which language and culture his clan doesn't understand. However,
the leader's sister Iza, Ayla soon calls Mother, adopts her.
The story takes place at a time where human beings are still evolving. Ayla is a
new kind of human. Her brain, which she can use it to predict and make plans, is
different from Iza's and other clan members'. Their brains are adapted to memory, not
new learning, whom they fear and distrust. At first, Ayla brings luck to the clan. She
accidentally wanders into a place where they find a large cave, perfect for their new i
home. She is educated by Iza, who's great knowledge everyone respects. The skills
that Iza passes on to Ayla include healing and magic, as well as finding food, cooking,
and sewing. However, Ayla's powers make it impossible for her to stay with the clan.
She learns to hunt, a skill where women are forbidden to practice. Her uncle, that she
loves very much, allows her to stay with the clan, but after he dies, she loses his
protection. Another earthquake, for which she is blamed, destroys the clan's home,

had a major problem last year. I didn’t able to use my credit card when I went shopping one day
because someone had charged five or six big-screen TVs and airline tickets to my account, and I

months taking care of the problem, but I finally did. And I learned that this problem can happened
to anyone, so we don’t have to protect ourselves. I no longer have a “12345” password, and you
shouldn’t use one either. May you think of a better way to protect your privacy—and your money?

If You Go, Go Safely ;;
It can happen. You're miles away from home on vacation
or a business trip and you feel sick. What should you do?
Here are some tips from travel experts.
A little preplanning can go a long way in making your trip a healthier one.
2. (Don't pack medication in your luggage. You plan to check your luggage on the plane.)
Pon't pack medication in your luggage- if you plan to check your luggage on the plane.
Keep it in your carry-on bags. That way, if the airline loses your luggage, you won't be left
without your medicine.
3. (You should bring along copies of your prescriptions and keep them in a secure place. You take
prescription medication.)
Make sure they are written in the generic (not the brand-name) form.
4. (Notify the flight attendant or train conductor. You feel sick on board a plane or train.)
5. (Call your own doctor. You are traveling in your own country when you feel sick.)
116 Unit 20
6. (Your hotel can recommend a doctor. You need medical attention in a foreign country.)
7. (You experience chest pains, weakness in an arm or leg, or shortness of breath. Get yourself to
an emergency room.)
8. (You're not sure how serious your symptoms are. Assume they are serious and take
appropriate steps.)
It's better to be safe than sorry. Many travelers tend to ignore symptoms when they are away
from home.
If you took a nonstop flight, it is sometimes cheaper than a trip with plane changes. It’s when you travel
that really counts. Your schedule is flexible, if you should take advantage of travel at off-peak hours.

*-*• If you travel often, then you know what I mean with this next piece of advice. Wear shoes that you can take
off and put on easily. Frequent fliers use this strategy to make things easier at the security checkpoint.
If you’re traveling internationally, you must have your passport and visa documents with you. Even if they

WOMEN’S HEALTH
Scientists Connect Positive Attitude and Health
If you want to be healthy, then you should stay positive. At least that’s what new
medical findings seem to say. According to researchers, if you handle stress well and have an
attitude toward life that is positive overall, you won’t live a longer, healthier life. In a recent
study, adults were asked questions about stressful situations that they were unable to
anticipate. For example, they might have been asked, “How you will react if you are stuck in
traffic?” or “What will you do if your boss will ask you to start a big project right at the end of
the day?"
Researchers found that the people with enthusiastic and positive responses had fewer
heart attacks over the next 10 years. In a similar study, scientists discovered that having a
positive attitude toward the future made people 12 percent less likely to suffer a heart attack.
Other research has also shown a connection between a positive attitude and good health.
According to the studies, if people will approach life in a positive way, they’ll be less likely to
get a cold or the flu and more likely to have lower blood pressure.
Will a woman live longer if she develops a more positive attitude? Doctors won’t really
know if more research is done, but many believe it’s possible that a change in attitude will
help. Doctors are confident of one thing. You’ll feel mentally stronger you do things that
you enjoy. So, if you like spending time with friends or playing sports you should do it. And
while you’re at it, take care of yourself. If you get enough sleep, exercise, and eat right, you’ll
feel the connection between better health and a more positive attitude.

This evening, I watched Toy Story 3.1 really wish I had see the movie sooner. I knew it
was the most popular movie of the summer in 2010, but I had no idea how good it really
was. Honestly, if I would have known about the incredible animation in the film, I would
have gone to a movie theater to see it. In fact, I would even have pay extra to see the 3D
version. Yes, I know what you’re thinking. You told me to see the film when it came out.
I really wish I have listened to you.
Luckily, I was also able to watch Toy Story and Toy Story 2.1 saw those movies a long time
ago. If I hadn’t watched them again, I might forgotten about Andy as a little boy and the
relationships between Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and the other toys. It was interesting to see
Andy as a college student in Toy Story 3. And Andy’s mother played a small but important
role again. The original Toy Story will never have happened if she hadn’t given Buzz
Lightyear to Andy as a birthday gift. In Toy Story 3, none of the important events would
have occurred if she hadn’t kept asking Andy to clean his room and if she didn’t put
Andy’s toys in the garbage by mistake. Does Andy’s mother remind you of anyone? We
could had had a lot more free time as kids if Grandma weren’t always forced us to pick up

of the Indian Ocean receded at the start of the tsunami. As the water pulled back, they followed it so
that they could see the unusual sight. Dr. Ito said that many of the tourists are taking photos instead of
evacuating the beach. However, there were others, including children, who understood the danger.
Because they knew about geography, they quickly explained that a powerful wave of water will return
in about five minutes. They told their families and friends that they have to leave the beach and go to
higher ground right now. And once they were in a safe place, they told everyone they should stay here
because one large wave did not mean that the tsunami is over.

Everyone has good stories, and collecting them is an interesting way for younger family
members to stay close to older relatives and learn the family’s culture. However, there are
potential problems when it comes to asking appropriate questions and making the older
family members feel comfortable with a family history project. Recently, my son Mark
interviewed his grandfather, my husband’s father. If you’d like to try this in your family,
here are the steps Mark took to make his grandfather feel at ease.

After I saw the movie Invictus, I wanted to know more about it, so I watched several
interviews with the film’s director, Clint Eastwood. In each case, the interviewers asked
Castwood had decided
why-had-Eastwood decided to make a movie about the 1995 South African team that
won the Rugby World Cup championship. They asked how much you liked sports, and
they tried to find out whether the 2009 movie had a connection with the 2010 World Cup
Eastwood’s interest in politics part of his decision to make the film? They also asked
how much did the movie cost, especially since much of it was shot in South Africa. No
one had to ask who was Nelson Mandela, but many wanted to know when the former
South African president had come up with the idea of using a rugby championship to
handle political problems. That was exactly the kind of question I became interested in.
Because I am a sports fan, I originally wanted to learn more about the South African
rugby team, the Springboks, and their captain, Francois Pienaar. However, I soon began
to ask how Mandela could go from prisoner to presidential candidate to world leader to
Nobel Prize winner? This paper will report the results of my research. It will focus on
the reasons that Nelson Mandela won the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize.

EXEI3(SDSE 2 WORD ORDER AND PUNCTUATION
A. Look at the list of questions that students in a listening-speaking class prepared for
Jake Davis, a guest speaker who was invited to their class to talk about volunteer
vacations.
B. Complete the conversation that took place during the students’ question-and-answer
session with Mr. Davis. Choose the appropriate question from the list, and change it to
an embedded question. Use correct punctuation.
1. KHADIJA: I’m not sure why students take volunteer vacations. Isn’t the whole point of a
vacation to relax and have fun?
MR. DAVIS: A volunteer vacation is totally logical. Many students like the idea of traveling and
doing service work. They can do something useful while they’re experiencing the
customs of a different culture, learning new ideas, and, yes, even having fun.
MR. DAVIS: There are volunteer vacations for people of all ages, but you may need your parents'
permission for some of them since you’re not twenty-one.
168 Unit 28
4. NIDA: Could you clarify
MR. DAVIS: The cost depends on the location, the length, and the type of trip. The price can be
anywhere from several hundred to several thousand dollars.
MR. DAVIS: It’s always a good idea to have money for emergencies or something that you really
want to buy as a souvenir.
MR. DAVIS: You’ll spend most of your time on a volunteer project, but you’ll still have a chance to
meet the local people and have cultural experiences on your own.
MR. DAVIS: The majority of the trips are from one to three weeks.
MR. DAVIS: Some travel during the summer, but others do a volunteer vacation when they have a
semester break.
MR. DAVIS: Some are in the U.S., but there are volunteer opportunities in countries all around the
world.
10. KE: I have a travel brochure about volunteer vacations, but it doesn’t actually say
MR. DAVIS: I suggest making your travel plans as soon as possible. That way, you 11 be sure to get
the trip that you want.

should take.
2. ANNE: Look for a nonstop flight and the lowest possible airfare.
SYLVIA: Where?
ANNE: It’s cheaper if you rent a car before you leave. You can do that on Orbitz or Travelocity,
too.
SYLVIA: A little, and I know where I can go for an inexpensive language course.
