The Person I Admire Most
M: Can you think of a person you admire?
W: A person I admire? Hmn. Yes, I think the person I admire most is
Steven Hawking.
M: Isn’t he the professor at Cambridge with motor neurone disease?
W: That’s right. He’s spent most of his life fighting the disease. He found
out that he’d got it when he was a student. He was at the time only about 20.
M: Goodness. What did he do then?
W: Well, he stopped wasting time. And he started applying himself to his
studies. He knew that he risked dying young, but he became a leading
cosmologist.
M: Where have I heard of him? I know nothing about cosmology.
W: He wrote a book about it for the average person. In fact I remember
seeing it on your bookshelves.
M: Oh, right. “A Brief History of Time”, is that it?
W: Yes, it was a real bestseller, mostly to people who put it on their
bookshelves and didn’t read it.
M: Yeah. How old is he now?
W: He’s in his sixties; I think He’s succeeded in living far longer than
anyone expected him to.
M: But what kind of life can you have with a disease like that?
W: He’s managed to lead a fairly normal life. He has married twice and
has three children and a grandchild now. I think he needs to use a computer for
almost everything now, you know, eating, speaking, writing
M: Mmm. It’s very sad, isn’t it?
W: Well, in a way. He considers himself lucky. You see, despite his
disability, he is recognized as one of the greatest minds of our time.

months ago.

bookstore. I’m crazy about books. And I’m a fast reader.
W: Do you ever feel the need to take a break so you can recharge your
batteries?
M: All the time. There’s always so much more to learn. Going away helps.
W: You’ve obviously traveled a lot, too. What’s your favorite place in the
world?
M: That’s a difficult question because I’ve been to so many amazing
places, but I think Hawaii is my favorite. The children love it there too.
W: All of us are concerned with what kind of world our kids are going to
live in. How do you give your children a semblance of a normal life?
M: By living a normal life.
W: But as a superstar, you live at a level that’s different from most people.
M: To a degree. yes. But we’ve all got to figure out how to raise our kids to
be happy, responsible people.
W: One last question. What else do you want to do in your life?
M: Oh, there’s so much I want to do. I feel a lot of personal responsibility
because of how much I’ve been blessed. I do volunteer work for Children’s
Fund. I do a lot of fund-raising events for them. And I look forward to creating

Exercise 2
1. Advertising is a way of informing people of something. This can range from telling them a product for sale, or a service, or urging them to do something, or even making someone’s name known to the public.
2. Advertising is intended to appeal to consumers to buy a certain product, but it does not force them to buy the product. Consumers still control the final buying decision.
Part B A Passage
Exercise 1 1. c 2. b 3. d 4. d

Successful Advertising
One of the keys to successful advertising is to catch the interest of readers.
In your busy life, there is little time to read every page in front of you, so you
have to be very selective. Being aware of this, advertisers go to great lengths
to arouse your curiosity in what they have to say. You should know when
advertisers are trying to catch your interest so that you keep in mind that they
are attempting to influence you.
Advertisers always have an intended audience targeted for their
messages — men, women, or children of specific ages, from various ethnic
groups, and with certain interests. It is important that you know to whom an
advertisement is designed to appeal so that you can decide whether or not you
should spend your time giving serious consideration to what it has to say.
Obviously the whole point of a given advertisement is to get you to
purchase a product, take a certain action, or think
In a certain way. An effective advertisement is very specific about the
benefit to readers as a result of their buying, doing, or thinking whatever is
being urged by the
Advertisement. It is extremely important that you recognize the benefit
stressed by an advertisement so that you can make a sound decision as to
whether or not to follow its advice.

Exercise 2
1. …men, women, children of specific ages, from various ethnic groups, …certain interests
2. …what benefit customers will get…buying, doing, thinking
3. …seriously …it is designed to appeal

We Were Born to Help You Do It
Better
Joyce: Dad!
Father: Yes? „What‟s the matter, Joyce?
Joyce: I‟m wondering if I should buy a pair of tennis shoes. I‟m going to
join the tennis club in school.
Father: Why not? It‟s good that you finally play sports.
Joyce: But I‟d like to have Adidas.
Father: Adidas? It‟s too expensive. They are for professional athletes.
Joyce: But all the guys in the school tennis team are wearing Adidas, boys
as well as girls.
Father: But none of us has ever had Adidas and we used to play quite OK.
Joyce: Here is an ad about Adidas. Can I read it to you?
Father: Go ahead.
Joyce: “Over fifty-five years ago, Adidas gave birth to a new idea in sports
shoes. And the people who wear our shoes have been running and winning
ever since. In fact,
Adidas has helped them set over 400 world records in track and field
alone.”
Father: Nonsense the players have to go through a lot of hard training and
practice. It has nothing to do with the shoes. They may be comfortable, but
Joyce: You‟re right, Dad. The ad goes on to say, “You‟re born to run. And
we were born to HELP YOU DO IT BETTER.”
Father: 11mm. It may be good for running, but you don‟t run.
Joyce: Listen, Dad. The ad says, “... Maybe that‟s why more and more
football, soccer, basketball and tennis ...“see? “TENNIS players are turning to
Adidas. They know that, whatever their game, they can rely on Adidas
workmanship and quality in every product we make.”
Father: OK, OK, dear. I know Adidas is good. But how much is a pair of
your shoes?
Joyce: You don‟t have to worry about that, Dad. I‟ve saved some money
since last Christmas. I just want to hear your opinion.
Father: That‟s good.

What Are Good Manners?
People in different countries have different standards for good manners.
Before entering a house in some Asian countries it is necessary to take off
one’s shoes. In
European countries even though shoes sometimes become very muddy,
this is not done. A guest in a Chinese house never finishes a drink. He leaves a
little to show that he has had enough. In a Malay house, a guest always leaves
a little food. In England, a guest always finishes a drink or eats up his food to
show that he has enjoyed it.
Here are some examples of the things that a well- mannered person does
or does not do no matter whether he is an oriental or a westerner.
He never laughs at people when they are in trouble. Instead, he tries to
help them. He is always kind whether to people or to animals. When he is
waiting for a bus, he takes his turn and never pushes to the front of the line. In
the bus, he gives his seat to an old person, or a disabled person or a lady who
is standing. When talking to people, he never tells heavy people they are fat,
but says that they are losing weight for he knows everyone is weight conscious
and wants to be thin. He never asks people, women in
Particular, their age. Everyone wants to be young. If he is invited to a
dinner party at seven, he is sure to be there by seven, knowing how people
respect time and expect everyone to be “on time”. If he smokes, he never
lights his cigarette before getting the permission from people around them.
