International Beans \ After water, coffee is probably the most popular drink in the world. Coffee has man ,positive properties \* that are good for your health. Drinking coffee can help reduce the chances of some cancers, stomach and neurological diseases, type 2 diabetes, and even heart disease. Coffee has had a long and interesting history on its road to becoming the much-loved drink that it is today. The coffee bush was first discovered in Africa in the 9th century. The coffee berries that grow on the bushes contain coffee beans which can be made into a drink. The recipe for this drink was passed from Africa to the Middle East, to Europe, and then to the Americas. Even though the drink we know as coffee is well known all around the world, most countries have their own special way of making it. 'Cowboy coffee' is made in Finland and Norway by mixing coffee and boiling water together in a kettle and pouring out the liquid into a cup without the grounds. Turkish coffee is made by mixing very finely ground coffee and sugar in a small pot with a long handle called an ibrik. The ibrik is held over a fire and then removed when the coffee comes to the boil. The mixture is poured into a small ceramic cup and drunk slowly, Ieaving the grounds at the bottom. Italians typically drink small cups of espresso every day and usually don't even sit down when they order it; they drink it and leave. Many people in the U.S. have an electric coffeemaker which uses a filter to separate the water from the coffee. Hot water drips through the grounds and comes out as the drink they know and love. There is even a way to make coffee using a roasted

coconut and the milk inside it! Whichever way you prefer your daily cup of coffee, there's no doubt about it, coffee is something the whole

world loves! -E W!1$n3tryia-.Sl:l.wrq

Stan Lee: Heromaker Stan Lee is an American comic book creator. He has created many famous comics over the years, and is

responsible for some of the most popular superheroes that we know today. Some of Lee's more well-known comics aiE

Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, Iron Man, the Hulk, Daredevil, the Avengers and Captain America. Lee started working at Timely Comics, which he turned into his own company, Marvel Comics, and later Marvel

Entertainment. He was just

19

when he became an assistant editor and started writing texts for Captain America. When

he was 20, Lee joined the U.S. military. There he spent most of his time writing manuals, training films, slogans, and even drawing cartoons.

In the

1950s, Lee's

main comic book competitor, DC Comics, renewed the interest in comics, which prompted Lee

to create more characters of his own. Lee created heroes that were not perfect and had human characteristics like vanity and greed. In this first wave ofnew characters, Lee introduced the world to the Fantastic Four, a group that often argued

with one another, the Incredible Hulk,

a

man whose temper was uncontrollable, Iron Man,

times greedy and selfish, and finally, Spider-Man,

a

businessman who was at

young man who wanted to help make the world

a

better place, despite

his own limitations. The change from the idealistic superhero to the more realistic hero helped the average reader identify

with the characters more. Throughout his career, many of his comics have been developed into films, and he also started his own company, Stan Lee Entertainment. He has also appeared as a character in many comic books, made appearances

in films and TV shows and written an autobiography. In 2O07,Lee received perhaps the highest honour

Shirley When I got my first job, there weren't many choices available for women. At the time, girls were expected to stay at home and help raise the children and take care ofthe house. So the only job that was available for me then was as a waitress at a local restaurant. My parents knew the owner, so he agreed to let me work there a couple nights a week. I started working there when I was 16. My parents thought I was too young, but I was really excited to get out of the house and make my own money. It was a good job, and I had a really nice boss. Plus, it was fun, because all my friends from high school would come in the evenings and I was able to hang out with people I knew while I worked. It was the perfect job! Daniel I spent a lot of time in my dadt dental office as a child. Even when I was very young, I understood how things worked there and I helped out whenever I could. So, everyone knew that someday I would follow in my fathert footsteps and take over the family business. After I got my degree in Dentistry, I started working in my dadt practice as his partner until he retired a few years later. I learnt a lot from my dad and from watching him in surgery. I learnt how to love my job and be really good at it. I'm glad I didn't have to go to a bunch of interviews. Now, my son helps out at the office and it seems he has already decided on his future career. What can I say? Dentistry runs in our blood. Pam

My first job in the 'real world,' was really hard to get. I don't know what the problem was; I mean I had my Master's degree and all the necessary qualifications and I was hard working. Still, no one wanted to hire me. Maybe it's because I had so little real-world experience. I went to at least three job interviews every week for more than six months. It was a lot of driving around for nothing and it was very tiring. Not having a job for that long was really stressful, because I kept eating

I could pay rent and bills. Eventually, I did manage to find a job with a good company. My salary was a lot more than I expected, so I guess in the end, the wait finally away at my savings so

paid off!

Zack

I consider myself pretty lucky when it comes to my life. I'm22,I've just graduated from university, and I already have a great job. I design websites. It's funny, actually. The day I got my degree, I put my CV on Monster.com, and within a few hours, I had a few companies interested in me. I decided on one and we had a brief phone interview and that was that. I e-mailed

them my portfolio, they liked what they saw and hired me. They didnt even need to meet me! The best part is I can work from home and they pay my salary right into my bank account and I never

with my parents. So itt really time I did something about that. I'm tired of my friends making fun of me for my mum still cooking for me and doing my laundry! But hey, with this great new job, now I can afford to live on my own. even have to leave my house. The only problem is I still live

A.GREEN'HOLIDAY Goa is a natural paradise which offers travellers who need a break from city life an opportunity to experience nature at its best. If you want to combine a holiday with conservation work, this is the ideal place to go to. I spent two weeks at a nature

conservation centre in Goa and it was one of the best holidays I've ever been on. The conservation centre, which serves as a field station for biologists and ecologists, was set up so that they can do research and check the development of various plants and wildlife. In addition, the centre tries to make the local

communities in the region aware of environmental issues. There are also volunteers at the centre who help with yarious conservation activities in the area.

After

a

two-day training course, I started working with the team responsible for the conservation of sea turtles. My role

was to collect data on the turtles and also to talk to people in the local community about things they can do to help protect

the turtles. I spent most of my days walking up and down the beaches observing and writing down everything I noticed about the turtles. At sunset, I would eat dinner with the other team members and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

In my free time, I went swimming in the truly amazing experience

as

I got to

see

sea

and I also went on organised nature walks into the jungle. This was a

all kinds of interesting wildlife up close. However, the best thing was visiting the

waterfalls; they were simply wonderful. I also took

l.

a

yoga class which was offered at the centre.

According to the text Goa is an ideal location to enjoy

a

break from living in the city.

Read the text and decide if the fo[towing statements are true, fatse or not mentioned. Write T, F or NM. Endangered Species Watch The Orangutan is a great ape which is found on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra in South East Asia.These gentle great apes

are very intelligent and, like humans, they have the ability to think and learn. They are the largest tree living mammal,

with longer arms than other great apes such as gorillas and chtmpanzees. Orangutans are an endangered species because of illegal hunting, loss of their habitat and being kidnapped from the wild and sold as pets. In fact, it is possible that orangutans living in the wild may become extinct very soon. The loss of their

habitat has occurred for various reasons. As the populations of countries in South East Asia have grown, so has the need for land and food. The rainforests have been cut down to clear land for housing and agriculture. In particular, whole sections of rainforest have been cleared to plant palm trees which produce palm oil. As

a

result, the orangutans have no home. In

addition, natural disasters such as flooding and forest fires have also contributed to the destruction ofthe rainforests. The survival of orangutans depends mainly on the efforts of various conservation organisations which are working

hard to protect them. For example, Camp Leakey is

a research

station in the Tanjung Puting National Park in Borneo;

here orangutans are studied, cared for and prepared for life in the wild. Despite the work of organisations such as these, orangutans are still threatened; if we want to save these magnificent creatures from extinction, more needs to be done to

protect their habitats.

l. Orangutans are known to be very clever. 2. Gorillas and chimpanzees are the largest tree living animals. 3. There are several reasons

why orangutans are an endangered species.

4. The writer believes that orangutans

will

never become extinct.

5.Large areas ofrainforest have been cut down. 6. Events such as natural disasters threaten the habitats of orangutans. 7. The loss

of their habitat is the greatest threat to orangutans.

8. Many governments are supporting conservation organisations. 9. 10.

At Camp Leakey orangutans are taught how to survive in the wild. As a result of the work of conservation organisations, orangutans are no Ionger threatened.

The strange world of your dreams There are many different theories about dreams and how they work; however, what is certain is that the science of dreams is not exact. In ancient times, people believed that when we dreamt we entered another world which was real. As the fields of science and medicine became more advanced, different theories started to come out. Some scientists believe that dreams are just verbal, visual and emotional stimuli with no apparent meaning. However, others believe that dreams are important for our mental well-being. The leading psychiatrist, Carl /ung thought that analysing our dreams provides us with a way to think more deeply about our lives and solve problems. For centuries, people have believed that dreams have a deeper meaning. For example, many of us dream that we are falling and suddenly we wake up. Experts say this dream means we are feeling anxious and insecure or we feel we have failed in achieving a goal. Another popular dream is that of being chased; this means we are trying to escape our problems. Ifyou see yourselfin a dream trying to run but your legs don't take you anywhere, then you could be trying to do too many things at the same time. Also, dreams about losing our teeth are believed to show that we are worried about our physical appearance. There has been a lot of research done into controlling dreams and this has led to the term lucid dreaming. Lucid dreaming happens when you are aware that you are dreaming and are able to control what happens in your dream. This is an amazing skill but it is also extremely difficult to do and not many people are able to learn it. Lucid dreaming can be a fun way to experience the strange world of your dreams but it is also believed to help personal development and improve

your problem solving skills. Some people are able to see future events through their dreams. There is the case of the man who dreamt that he took his son on a camping trip and his son died near a lake. Some time after he had had the dream, the man and his son were invited on a camping trip. Then, at a certain time during the trip, the man remembered his dream and noticed that everything was the same as in his dream; the boy was standing near a lake looking down at pebbles. The man quickly grabbed his son and took him to safety. There is still a lot of research taking place into dreams, and it will be some time before we are able to really understand the strange dream world that we enter every night. Dreams allow us to experience things that would not be possible in real life, and by analysing our dreams we can learn more about ourselves.

Cars of the future?

When your mobile phone runs out of battery power, all you have to do to get it working again is to charge it up. Imagine

if you could do the same thing with your car. Researchers at car companies are developing cars that plug into electric sockets. These vehicles might become the cars of the future.

The cars are called plug-in hybrids and they get most of their power from electricity, just like other electrical devices like

mobile phones and laptops. This technology would significantly reduce the amount of petrol that people use. For countries that depend on other oil producing countries for their petrol supply this could be a great advantage. Presently, most cars use petrol. Unfortunately burning fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide gas, and when alarge amount

of this gas and other greenhouse gases are trapped in the Eartht atmosphere, they cause global warming. Hybrid vehicles have already been developed and are being driven. These cars get their power from both petrol and electricity; they are able

to travel longer distances with less petrol. Plug-in hybrids will be even more advanced as they are designed to be powered mainly by electricity and use only a small amount of petrol.

Although this technology aPPears to offer

a

solution to our planet's environmental problems, there are still some

challenges in getting it to work efficiently. The biggest problem is creating batteries that can store a large amount of energy

to run the cars. Plug-in hybrids require

a special

battery which is very expensive, making the cost of the car very high. In

addition, the electricity used to charge plug-in hybrid cars is produced from burning coal - this produces pollution, too. It might be some time before the cars will become available to the public but if they do, it will be a major breakthrough for transport.

her palms would start sweating, her heart would race and she would have difficulty

breathing. Sheila's friends and colleagues usually burst out laughing when she told them about her phobia and she often felt very embarrassed about it. When it started to control her life, she knew she had to do something. Sheila took part in a psychology project

which aimed at helping people to get over their fears. As part of her treatment, Sheila had to face her fear and stay in a room alone with lots of buttons scattered all over the floor. Before facing her feat she had several sessions with a psychologist and

after three weeks she was able to overcome her fear. Now, when Sheila

tuna sandwich, he became terrified and started feeling very ill. He had to go home and was unable to go back to work for two weeks. Brian sought the help of a counsellor who recommended some relaxation therapy. By talking about his fear and performing some deep breathing and muscular relaxation exercises, Brian is now able to face his worst enemy. Although he still refuses to eat fish, now he can go with his family to the seaside and enjoy an evening eating out.

in her home. When Sarah had to give up a job offer, she decided it was time to

take control ofher life. She had a combination ofhypnotherapy and psychotherapy, which over a

period of six months helped her to come face-to-face with a giant cockroach without running for her life. Sarah is delighted that she has been able to get over her fear and now she is able to do her dream job abroad. D. Jack As a young child, Jack had a fear of lemons. When he was just a toddler, he started screaming and ran for cover if he even saw a picture of a lemon. fack's fear caused many embarrassing situations

for him and his family. The worst incident happened when they travelled to Greece for a family holiday. The family had just been swimming and were settling down to a delicious lunch of fish and chips; however, when Iack spotted a slice of lemon next to his chips, he became hysterical. In his panic, ]ack knocked over a tray that a nearby waiter was holding. )ack's parents were so embarrassed that they never went back to the restaurant during their holiday. As ]ack grew older and he realised that lemons could not harm him, his fear of them decreased until eventually it disappeared completely. Now Jack is an adult and he has little memory of his childhood fear that caused so much havoc.

I've tried talking to her about it but she just gets angry when I say anything to her. I don't understand why behaving like this because she used to be one of the best players in the team. A few months ago she would never miss training sessions and her performance during matches was always excellent. I think there is something going on in her personal life that is causing this. I just don't know what to do because I've already tried talking to her. I feel it's my responsibility as team captain to sort this out. I really don't want to kick her off the team but if the situation gets any worse, I might have to. What do you think I should do? I would really appreciate it if you could give me some advice. she's

3.READING Read the text about hip hop and answer the questions. Choose a, b, c or d. For those of you who love hip hop, there is a great way to learn more about hip hop history and culture -just take a

hip hop tour of Harlem and the Bronx. This is

a

unique music tour that provides fans with a deeper understanding of

hip hop. It is both enjoyable and educational for both serious hip hop fans and tourists visiting New York who want to experience a different side of the city. The tour guides are some of the biggest names from the early years of hip hop; they include D| Kool Herc, known to

many as the father of hip hop, the rapper Kurtis Blow and Grandmaster Caz who was a member of the group Cold Crush Brothers. The guides provide an entertaining presentation for their listeners, including handing out some "bling bling" such as gold bead necklaces with large gold dollar signs attached. This is to show that hip hop culture is all about style and

having the right attitude. The tour bus sets off from Fifth Avenue in Manhattan and the guides explain how hip hop started on August 1973, when

Kool Herc held

a

11,

party which lasted for several nights.The passengers learn that rappers, DI's, breakdancers

and graffiti artists all play an important role in hip hop. The tour bus makes its first stop in Spanish Harlem where the passengers car, gaze at the Graffiti Hall of Fame. The walls are brightly coloured

with cartoon characters and

phrases;

they are considered to be works of art. During the tour, the guide points out various important landmarks such as the

Apollo Theater and the Theresa Hotel, where Ray Charles wrote his famous song Hir the Road

Jack. Passengers can also

stop off at a 'soul food" restaurant where they can enjoy African American food.

This tour shows that hip hop is not just about music; it's about the graffiti artists, the MCs, the Dls, the breakdancers, the clothes and the fashion accessories.
