King — was born into a family of poor farmers in Mississippi in 1925.

Audiences loved his deep voice, his humor, and his strength of feeling. Then, in 1958, disaster struck. His bus was involved in a bad accident, and the driver was killed. Fortunately, King wasn't on the bus. What might have happened if he had been on that bus? No one knows for sure. However, because King's insurance had been canceled before the accident, he had to work hard as a musician to pay off his debts. However, sadly, he no longer made headlines.

King — was born into a family of poor farmers in Mississippi in 1925. He had a very difficult childhood: His parents separated when he was five, he began working in the fields when he was seven, and his mother died when he was just nine. It's a sad story, isn't it? But things soon got better because of music. B. B. King got an early start in music by singing in his church. Later, he moved to Memphis, where he had a chance to perform on a popular radio program. He spent his early years traveling from town to town, performing in different clubs. His career really took off in 1951 when his song "Three O'clock Blues" stayed number one for 15 weeks. Audiences loved his deep voice, his humor, and his strength of feeling. Then, in 1958, disaster struck. His bus was involved in a bad accident, and the driver was killed. Fortunately, King wasn't on the bus. What might have happened if he had been on that bus? No one knows for sure. However, because King's insurance had been canceled before the accident, he had to work hard as a musician to pay off his debts. However, sadly, he no longer made headlines. But King was in the right place at the right time in the mid- to late 1960s. If King hadn't been discovered again at that time by such young rock stars as the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, and George Harrison, his career might have continued to go downhill. He performed on national TV shows, and in 1970, his song "The Thrill Is Gone" made it to the pop charts. B. B. King was a star! Which of the following statements best describes King's career in the mid- to late 1960s? Your answer: He was in the right place at the right time. Home Sweet Home Read the article.

Carlos and Sylvia got married in July, and they bought a house in August. They were so excited to start their new lives together. The first week, they spent a lot of time decorating the house. Some of the rooms needed painting, the carpet in the living room was stained and had to be replaced, and the filter for the air conditioner needed cleaning. Sylvia, an interior decorator, picked out great new colors for the paint in the kitchen and the bedrooms. She got Carlos to hook up the computer, the TV, and the DVD player. Of course, there were a few minor problems — the shower had a small leak, the refrigerator had a few small dents, the dishwasher sometimes made funny noises, and one or two of the doorknobs were loose and would need to be replaced. But, overall, it was a lovely home. Two weeks later, about three in the morning, they heard a loud noise. Carlos ran to open the bedroom door, and the doorknob fell off. "We have to get someone to fix these doorknobs!" he said. He opened the door with a screwdriver, ran downstairs — and saw that the dishwasher had flooded the entire first floor. In addition, the light on the DVD player was off, and the TV had fallen off the table. Well, a week later, things were back to normal. They had the dishwasher repaired, and they got someone to put in new doorknobs. They bought a big new TV and had it delivered the next day. The DVD player was fine — it just needed to be plugged in again. Carlos and Sylvia are still very happy with their home, but now they keep a list on their dented refrigerator of repair people to call in an emergency. What did Carlos and Sylvia's house need when they first moved in? Your answer: Some rooms needed to be painted.

Legal Behavior Read the article. Choose the correct answer. Read the question at the end of the text. In every country, people have ideas about what is acceptable behavior in public and what is unacceptable. In Singapore there are not just ideas, but also laws about inappropriate behavior. The country of Singapore, located at the southern end of the Malay Peninsula, is really one big city. With four million people living on an island just 3.5 times the size of Washington, D.C., law and order are very important. In Singapore, rude or inappropriate actions in public are considered minor offenses. The penalty for most of these offenses is a fine and, sometimes, community service. If you get caught jaywalking in Singapore, for example, you could be fined $500. If you smoke in many public places, you'll get fined up to $1,000. People are not allowed to eat or drink in the train stations or when riding the trains. And it's against the law to use a cell phone when driving — people get fined $1,000 and, possibly, get sentenced up to six months in jail. Because of all the laws in Singapore, it has one of the lowest crime rates of any city in the world. It's a very clean and safe place to live. Some

Doubts over the ability of Tim Cook, who took over as current CEO six weeks before Jobs passed away, have been banished with the company's latest sales figures. In the last three months of 2014, the firm behind the iPad and iPhone increased its profits by 37 per cent, to $18 billion.

The dictionary records the meaning and development of the English language. For a word to qualify, it must have been have been in popular use for at least 10 years in both novels and newspapers. Some of the terms in Oxford's latest update are much older than you might think. Twerk, the dance that gained global fame thanks to pop-star by Miley Cyrus, has been admitted with Oxford saying its origins go back almost 200 years. Researchers found the word was first used in 1820, spelt twirk, to refer to a twisting or jerking movement or twitch. "We are confident that it is the same origins as the dance," Fiona McPherson, a senior editor of Oxford English Dictionary, told The Guardian. "There has been constant use up into the present day to mean that same thing. I think it's quite spectacular, the early origins for it. We were quite surprised." The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) is widely regarded as the accepted authority on the English language.

Read this article and choose the correct answer. You will find the question at the end of the text. The first day of spring Friday, March 20 is the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. Spring is a season. There are four seasons in a year, spring, summer, autumn and winter. Each season is marked by different weather and hours of daylight. It's easy to know when spring is on the way. The Sun rises earlier in the morning and sets later in the day. The days also start to get warmer. In the UK we say, March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb, meaning the start of March is usually wet and cold (the lion), while the end of the month, when spring begins, is mild and pleasant (the lamb). The first day of spring is an equinox - one of two days a year when The Sun shines directly on the equator. On these special days, day and night are the same length of time.

Equinoxes are not to be confused with solstices. Solstices are opposite on either side of the equator, so the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere is the winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa. The June solstice is the longest day of the year for people in the Northern Hemisphere, north of the equator. The winter solstice is the shortest day of the year; it is the day with the least amount of daylight. In the Southern Hemisphere the first day of spring is in September.

A new study has found that it is better for you to work 'normal' fixed hours, like a 9-to-5 job, than shift work, where your hours change from day to day or week to week. The study published in the journal, 'Occupational and Environmental Medicine' found that long-term shift work can age your brain, cause memory loss, reduce processing speed and result in a decline in overall brain function. Researchers believe that working irregular hours, like working nights, disrupts your natural body clock, that is based on natural day and night cycles. Because the body's internal clock is designed for us to be active in the day and asleep at night, working nights can affect your brain's ability to function normally. The study found it can take up to 5 years for your brain to recover from the damage done after giving up shift work. Previous studies have also shown that night workers are vitamin D deficient because the are exposed to less sunlight.

The savannah The tourist looking at the African savannah on a summer afternoon might be excused for thinking that the wide yellow grass plain was completely deserted of life, almost a desert. With only a few small thorn trees sticking out through the veldt, there seems to be almost no place for a living creature to hide. However, under those trees you might find small steenbok, sleeping in the shade, and waiting for the night to fall. There may even be a small group of lions somewhere, their bodies exactly the same shade as the tall grass around them. In the holes in the ground a host of tiny creatures, from rabbits and badgers to rats and snakes are waiting for the heat to finish. The tall grass also hides the fact that there may be a small stream running across the middle of the plain. One clue that there may be water here is the sight of a majestic Marshall eagle circling slowly over the grassland. When he drops, he may come up with a small fish, or maybe a grass snake that has been waiting at the edge of a pool in the hope of catching a frog. The best time to see the animals then, is in the evening, just as the sun is setting. The best time of the year to come is in late September, or early August, just before the rains. Then the animals must come to the waterholes, as there is no other place for them to drink. And they like to come while it is still light, so they can see if any dangers are creeping up on them. So it is at sunset, and after the night falls, that the creatures of the African veldt rise and go about their business. This text is for people interested in Your answer: wildlife

The savannah The tourist looking at the African savannah on a summer afternoon might be excused for thinking that the wide yellow grass plain was completely deserted of life, almost a desert. With only a few small thorn trees sticking out through the veldt, there seems to be almost no place for a living creature to hide. However, under those trees you might find small steenbok, sleeping in the shade, and waiting for the night to fall. There may even be a small group of lions somewhere, their bodies exactly the same shade as the tall grass around them. In the holes in the ground a host of tiny creatures, from rabbits and badgers to rats and snakes are waiting for the heat to finish. The tall grass also hides the fact that there may be a small stream running across the middle of the plain. One clue that there may be water here is the sight of a majestic Marshall eagle circling slowly over the grassland.

In many old cities in Europe, there are narrow twisting roads with many shops huddling together along the two sides. These commercial places are not so modern and convenient as those called shopping centers in modern cities, especially in the suburbs of the big cities in the United States. Shopping centers have developed rapidly because of the shift of the population to the suburbs, the growing use of and dependence upon the automobile and the heavy traffic in downtown areas. A shopping center is a large group of stores facing a huge central enclosed mall which may be covered, heated and air-conditioned. A shopping center is also surrounded by a parking area with space for thousands of cars. We can buy all kinds of food and get anything we need in a shopping center. Unlike a supermarket, where groceries are chiefly sold, a shopping center provides us with all services besides food. We can get our hair cut, eyes examined, clothes washed; we can book our tickets for a world tour and even enroll in special classes. Shopping centers are, therefore, very convenient for customers, but they lack the 'sense of closeness' as felt in older commercial center.

In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while: he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. In social life, time plays a very important part. In the USA guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the USA no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.

Read the text carefully. Then read the questions and answers at the end of the text and choose the correct option carefully. DO YOU READ ALOUD? Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and medieval worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term "reading" undoubtedly meant reading aloud. Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace.

One should be wary, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud is a distraction to others. Examination of factors related to the historical development of silent reading reveals that it became the usual mode of reading for most adult reading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character. The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy, and thus in the number of readers. As readers increased, so the number of potential listeners declined, and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to other readers. Towards the end of the century there was still considerable argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully, and over whether the reading of material such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed this argument remains with us still in education. However, whatever its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and periodicals for a specialised readership on the other. By the end of the century students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and to use skills in reading them which were inappropriate, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural, and technological changes in the century had greatly altered what the term "reading" implied. Question: Why was reading aloud common before the nineteenth century? Your answer: Few people could read for themselves.
