In o rder to obtain a licence to drive a taxi in London, candidates have to pass a detailed examination. They have to learn not only the streets, landmarks and hotels, but also the quickest way to get there. This is called “The Knowledge” by London Cab drivers and it can take years of study and practice to get ‘The Knowledge’. Candidates are examined not only onthe quickest routes but also on the quickest routes at different times of the day. People who want to pass the examination spend much of their free time driving or even cycling around London, studying maps and learning the huge street directory by heart.Passage 2: The UndergroundTravelling on the London underground (the ‘tube’) presents few difficulties for visitors because of the clear colour- coded maps. It is always useful to have plenty of spare change with you because there are often long queues at the larger stations. If you have enough change you can buy your ticket from a machine. You will find signs which list the stations in alphabetical order, with the correct fares, near the machines. There are automatic barriers which are operated by the tickets.

He knew every plant and stone in it, and he could swim across it easily. He was the biggest creature in the pond, so he was very important. When he croaked, the water-snails listened politely. And the water-beetles always swam behind him. He was very happy there.One day, while he was catching flies, a pretty dragon-fly passed by. ‘You’re a very fine frog,’ she sang, ‘but why don’t you live in a bigger pond? Come to my pond. You’ll find a lot of frogs there. You’ll meet some fine fish, and you’ 11 see the dangerous ducks. And you must see our lovely water-lilies. Life in a large pond is wonderful!’‘Perhaps it is rather dull here,’ thought the foolish frog. So he hopped after the dragon-fly.But he didn’t like the big, deep pond. It was full of strange plants. The water-snails were rude to him, and he was afraid of the ducks. The fish didn’t like him, and he was the smallest frog there. He was lonely and unhappy.He sat on a water-lily leaf and croaked sadly to himself, ‘I don’t like it here. I think I’ll go home tomorrow.’But a hungry heron flew down and swallowed him up for supper.Lesson 3Section ITask 1: I Don’t See It That WayA.Conversation 1:1.Choose the best answer for each of the following statements.(1) — (2): ba2.Give brief answers to the following questions.(1)About 6 months ago.(2)It is defective and has ruined 4 of the customer’s favorite cassettes.(3) 6 months.(4)10 days ago.3.Blank-filling.(1)bend the rule, make an exception for, make an exception for(2)adding insult to injury, make good on(3)brought it in, hold me to, onB.Conversation 2:1.Multiple choice.

Mo st people rarely think about how and why they sleep, however. We know that if we sleep well, we feel rested. If we don’t sleep enough, we often feel tired and irritable. It seems there are two purposes of sleep: physical rest and emotional and psychological rest: We need to rest our bodies and our minds. Both are important in order for us to be healthy. Each night we alternate between two kinds of sleep: active sleep and passive sleep. The passive sleep gives our body the rest that’s needed and prepares us for active sleep, in which dreaming occurs.Throughout the night, people alternate between passive and active sleep. The brain rests, then it becomes active, then dreaming occurs. The cycle is repeated: the brain rests, then it becomes active, then dreaming occurs. This cycle is repeated several times throughout the night~. During eight hours of sleep, people dream for a total d one and half hours on the average.Lesson 4Section ITask 1: Weather ForecastA.Multiple Choice. 1 — 2: acB.Fill in the following chart.Task 2: The 5 O’clock NewsA.Fill in the following chart.B.Give brief answers to the following questions based on the news report.1.It was closed down by government authorities.2.Testing confirmed that the town had been poisoned be the dumping of toxic chemicals in towndumps.3. 3 weeks ago.4.200.5.Headaches, stomachaches, faintness and dizziness.6.Toxic wastes had leaked into the ground and contaminated the water supply.7.All the residents should leave the area, until the chemical company responsible for the toxicwaste can determine whether the town can be cleaned up and made safe again.C.True of False Questions. 1—6: FTTFFTD.Fill in the following blanks (based on the news report).Teams Playing Result(1) Mexico — France 7 to 6(2) Canada — Argentina 3 to 3(3) Italy — Haiti2 to 1(with 30 minutes left to go)Section IITask 1: What Do You Like for Entertainment?A.Blank-filling.Reporter: Deborah TylerInterviewee: Students of the Brooklyn Academy of Dramatic ArtsMajor: Benny Gross —— pianoKimberley Martins —— modern danceB.Fill in the following chart about how often Benny and Kimberley go to the eight forms ofartistic entertainment.C.Rearrange the forms of artistic entertainment that Benny and Kimberley like, beginning withthe form that each one likes best.Benny: (3)—(1)—(4)—(6)—(2)—(8)Kimberley: (2)—(4)—(1)—(7)—(3)—(8)Task 2: Are You a Heavy Smoker?A.True or False Questions. 1—6: TFTTFTB.Multiple Choice. 1—6: cbcbacC.Blank-filling.Name: Doris BradleySex: femaleAge: 32Amount: 3 packets of 20 a weekFirst experience:Time: at the age of 17Place: at a partyOffered by: boyfriend, not husbandFeeling; awfully grown-upLater: started smoking 2 or 3 a day and gradually increased.Experience of giving up smoking: twice1.

It hasn’t changed in thirty years. The pupils were sitting in the same desks and reading the same books. When are schools going to move into the modern world? Books belong to the past. In our homes radio and television bring us knowledge of the world. We can see and hear the truth for ourselves. If we want entertainment most of us prefer a modern film to a classical novel. In the business world computers store information, so that we no longer need encyclopaedias and dictionaries. But in the schools teachers and pupils still use books. There should be a radio and televisionset in every classroom, and a library of tapes and records in every school. The children of today will rarely open a book when they leave school. The children of tomorrow won’t need to read and Write at all.M. P.

After two months’ holiday pupils have started a new term. How many adults get such long holidays? Two to four weeks in the summer and public holidays--that’s all the working man gets. As for the average woman, she’s lucky to get a holiday at all. Children don’t need such long holidays. In term-time they start work later and finish earlier than anyone else.In the holidays most of them get bored, and some get into trouble. What a waste! If their overworked parents were given more free time instead, everyone would be happier.This isn’t just a national problem either--it’s worldwide.Dates may be different from country to country, but the pattern’s the same. Why should children do half as much work and get twice as much holiday as their parents?Lesson 6Section ITask 1: In the Path of the EarthquakeA.True or False Questions. 1—6: FTFTFFB.Map 1 is a layout of the Skinners’ farm.

Task 2: DictationSign LanguageDeaf people, people who can’t hear, are still able to communicate quite well with a special language. It’s called sign language.The speaker of sign language uses hand gestures in order to communicate. Basic sign language has been used for a long, long time, but sign language wasn’t really developed until about 250 years ago. In the middle of the 1700s a Frenchman named Epée developed sign language. Epée was able to speak and hear, but he worked during most of his life as a teacher of deaf people in France. Epée developed a large number of vocabulary words for sign language. Epée taught these words to his deaf students. Epée’s system used mostly picture :image signs. We call them picture image signsbecause the signs create a picture. For example, the sign for sleep is to put both hands together, and then to place the hands flat against the right side of your face, and then to lower your head slightly to the right. This action was meant to show the position of sleep. So we call it a picture image sign.Lesson 7Section ITask 1: Learning a Foreign LanguageA.Multiple Choice. 1—4: bcaaB.True or False Questions. 1—4: FTTFC.Give brief answers to the following questions.1.Albert Humphries.2.Balham, London.3. 4 years.4.He has been going to an evening class and has watched quite a lot of the BBC televisionprogrammes.5.They use a different book in the class.6.They make the same mistakes as he does.7.It means being able to put together the right groups of words and to say them in a reasonablyaccurate way.Task 2: In the LibraryA.Multiple Choice. 1—6: bbcacaB.True or False Questions. 1—6: TTFTFTC.Give brief answers to the following questions.1.Round the corner.2.

There are so many things, really. I guess one of the biggest difficulties is that I don't have any relatives here. I mean, I have a lot of friends, but that's not the same thing. In China, on the holidays or the weekend, we visit relatives. It isn't the same here.Interviewer: And what do you miss the most from home?Yu Hong: Oh, that's easy: my mom's soup! She makes great soup. I really miss my mother's cooking.(3) Hey! Are these pictures of youA: Hey! Are these pictures of you when you were a kid?B: Yeah! That's me in front of my uncle's beach house. When I was a kid, we used to spend two weeks every summer.A: Wow, I bet that was fun!B: Yeah. We always had a great time. Every day we used to get up early and walk along the beach. I have a great shell collection. In fact, I think it's still up in the attic!A: Hey, I used to collect shells, too, when I was a kid. But my parents threw them out!A: You know what I remember most about growing up?B: What?A: Visiting my grandparent's house…you know, on holidays and stuff. They lived way out in the country, and my granddad had a horse named Blackie. He taught me how to ride. I just love that horse-and she loved me, too! I used to really enjoy spending time at my grandparent's house. And every time I came back, Blackie remembered me.B: Ah, memories!Unit 2(4) Why is there never a bus when you want one?A: Why is there never a bus when you want one?B: Good question. There aren't enough buses on this route.A: Sometimes I feel like writing a letter to the paper.B: Good idea. You should say that we need more subway lines, too.A: Yeah. There should be more public transportation in genral.B: And fewer cars! There's too much traffic.A: Say, is that our bus coming?B: Yes, it is. But look. It's full!A: Oh, no! Let's go and get a cup of coffee. We can talk about this letter I'm going to write.A: So you are really going to write a letter to the paper?B: Sure. I'm going to say something about the buses. They're too old. We need more modern buses…nice air-conditioned ones.B: And they need to put more buses on the road.A: Right. And there are too many cars downtown, and there isn't enough parking.B: That's for sure. It's impossible to find a parking space downtown these days.A: I think they should ban private cars downtown between nine and five.B: Oh, you mean they shouldn't allow any cars except taxis and buses during the regular workday. Hmm…that sounds like a really good idea.(5) Quite a number of thingsQuite a number of things have been done to help solve traffic problems in Singapore. For example, motorists must buy a special pass if they want to drive into the downtown business district. They can go into the business district only if they have the pass displayed on their windshield.Another thing Singapore has done is to make it more difficult to buy cars. People have to apply for a certificate if they want to buy a car. And the number of certificates is limited. Not everyone can get one.There is also a high tax on cars, so it costs three or four times as much to buy a car in Singapore as it does in, say, the United States or Canada.The other thing Singapore has done is to build an excellent pubic transportation system. Their subway system is one of the best in the world. And there is also a very good taxi and bus system.(6) Excuse me. Could you tell meA: Excuse me. Could you tell me where the bank is?B: There's one upstairs, across from the duty-free shop.A: Oh, thanks. Do you know what time it opens?B: It should be open now. It opens at 8:00A.M.A: Good. And can you tell me how often the buses leave for the city?B: You need to check at the transportation counter. It's right down the hall.A: OK. And just one more thing. Do you know where the nearest restroom is?B: Right behind you, ma'am. See that sign?A: Oh. Thanks a lot.A: Excuse me. It's me again. I'm sorry. I need some more information-if you don't mind.B: Not at all.A: Thanks. Do you know how much a taxi costs to the city?B: Well, it depends on the traffic, of course. But it usually costs about forty dollars.A: Forty dollars? I guess I'll take the bus. That means I have almost an hour till the next one. Where could I find an inexpensive restaurant in the airport? Maybe a fast-food place?B: Go upstairs and turn right. You'll see the snack bar on your left.A: Thanks very much. Have a nice day.B: You, too.Unit 3(7) What do you think?A: What do you think?B: Well, it has just as many bedroom as the last apartment. And the living room is huge.C: But the bedroom are too small. And there isn't enough closet space for my clothes.A: And it's not as cheap as the last apartment we saw.B: But that apartment was dark and dingy. And it was in a dangerous neighborhood.A: Let's see if the real estate agent has something else to show us.A: Well, how do you like this space, then?C: Oh, it's much better than that other one. The thing I like best is the bedrooms. They are too huge!B: Yes, they are nice and big.C: And there are two bathrooms! I could have my own bathroom!B: Yes, I guess you could.C: The only problem is the color of the living room. I really don't like those dark green walls. A: Oh, I'm sure we can change the color if we want to.(8) Creative Rentals.A: Creative Rentals. Good morning.B: Hello. I'm calling about the apartment you have for rent.A: Yes. What can I tell you about it?B: Where is it, exactly?A: It's on King Street, just off the freeway.B: Oh, near the freeway. Can you hear the traffic?A: Yes, I'm afraid you do hear some. But the apartment has lots of space. It has three bedrooms and a very large living roomB: I see. And is it in a new building?A: Well, the building is about fifty years old.B: Uh-huh. Well, I'll think about it.A: OK. Thanks for calling.B: Thank you. ByeA: Hello?B: Hello. Is the apartment you're advertising still available?A: Yes, it is.B: Can you tell me a little about it?A: Well, it's a perfect apartment for one person. It's one room with a kitchen at one end.B: I see. And is it far away from the subway?A: There's a subway station just down the street. Actually, the apartment is located right downtown, so you step out of the building and there are stores and restaurants everywhere. But it's on a high floor, so you don't hear any street or traffic noise.B: It sounds like just the kind of place I'm looking for. I'd like to come see it, please.A: Sure. Let me give you the address.(9) So where are you working nowA: So where are you working now, Terry?B: Oh, I'm still at the bank. I don't like it, though.A: That's too bad. Why not?B: Well, it's boring, and it doesn't pay very well.A: I know what you mean. I don't like my job either. I wish I could find a better job.B: Actually, I don't want to work at all anymore. I wish I had a lot of money so I could retire now.A: Hmm, how old are you, Terry?B: Uh, twenty-six.A: So how are things going with you and Susie, Terry?B: Oh, you didn't know? She and I broke up a couple of months ago. We decided we needed a break from each other for a while. But I miss her a lot. I wish we could get back together again.A: I'm sure you will.B: I really hope so. So what kind of job would you like to look for?A: I'm not sure, but I'd really like to move to another city. I'm sick of this place. I need to live somewhere more exciting.B: I know what you mean. It sure can get boring around here at times.Yeah, I really need a change. I've been doing the same things for ever five years now, and I'm just not learning anything new. It's the same routine every day, and I am really sick of sitting in front of a computer. I think I need to try something totally different. I want to be in a profession that involves meeting people.I really need to join a club or sports team to give me something to do on weekends. I get really bored on the weekends, and if I joined a club. I'd probably get to meet people and make new friends.I should take a typing course this summer. I really need if it for my school work. And people say that if you can type really well, it's something you'll find useful later in life.Gosh, I really have to go on a diet. I've gained ten pounds since last year, and everyone tells me I look fat. And if I don't lose weight now, I won't be able to get into any of my summer clothes.Unit 4(10) Hey, this sounds good-snailsA: Hey, this sounds good-snails with garlic!

Excuse me, miss!C: Yes?B: Uh, I really don't care for this appetizer. Could you bring me something else?C: Yes, of course. What would you like instead?A: Try the snails.B: No, I don't think so. I'll tell you what. Just forget an appetizer for me, and bring me a nice, juicy hamburger…medium rare…with French fries and a large soda.(11) Have you finished with thisA: Have you finished with this?B: No, I'm still drinking it. Thanks.A: Did you order this?B: Yes, that's mine. Mmm, it looks great and smells delicious!A: Don't you like it?B: I haven't tasted it yet. I'm waiting for the waitress to bring me a fork.A: Did you enjoy it?B: Well, it was a little tough. I think it was cooked for too long.A: How is it?B: Great.

Some of my friends are going to work this summer, too, so we'll do some partying on the weekends.A: Have you planned anything for the summer, Brenda?B: Yeah. I'm going to work the first month and save some money. Then I'm going to go down to Mexico for six weeks to stay with my sister. She's working in Guadalajara. She says it's really interesting there, so I want to go and see what to go and see what it's like. It will also give me a chance to practice my Spanish. I'm really looking forward to it.Unit 6 Sure. No problem!(13) Jason…Jason!A: Jason…Jason! Turn down the TV a little, please.B: Oh, but this is my favorite program!A: I know. But it's too loud.B: OK. I'll turn it down.A: That's better.

This is a much nicer place to live now than it used to be. It's much greener. When I first moved here, there weren't many trees around. But over the last few years, the city has planted trees everywhere. It's made such a difference.A: How do you like living here?B: Well, it's an interesting city. But you really need a car here; otherwise, you can't go anywhere. There used to be a good bus system, but there isn't anymore.A: Why is that?B: Oh, I think they expect everyone to have a car, so they don't bother to provide decent bus service. It's getting worse and worse. These days, you have to wait for ages for a bus. And when one finally shows up, it's usually full!A: I can't believe how much this neighborhood has changed!B: What do you mean?A: Well, when Joe and I first bought this house-that was almost 20 years ago, of course-there were lots of young couples with little children living on this street.B: I don't see any kids out today.A: That's because they've all grown up and moved out of their parents' house.

A: That sounds interesting.B: Yeah. Let's see. You need to have a driver's license. And you have to work some evenings. A: I don't mind working evenings during the week. And I enjoy driving. So, what's the phone number?B: It's 7983455A: Delta Education.B: Hello. I'm calling about the job you advertised for a salesperson. Is it still available?A: Yes, it is.B: Well, can you tell me something about the job?A: Sure. Our company sells educational books for children. We're looking for part-time salespeople to promote our books to local bookstores.B: That sounds interesting. I'm a student, and I'm looking for part-time work.A: Well, perhaps you'd like to come in for an interview.B: Yes, I would.A: Oh, just one thing we didn't mention in the advertisement. Some of our books are in Spanish, so we'd like to hire someone who speaks Spanish.B: Oh, as a matter of fact, I do.A: Good. Well, let me arrange a time for you to come in for an interview.A: So what kind of job are you looking for?B: Well, I haven't made up my mind. I love working with people, and I love traveling. I don't want a job where I'm stuck in an office all day. I want to get out and see the world.A: Are you interested in working in business? That's where you can sometimes make good money.B: I'm not really interested in making a lot of money at this point in my life. I'll worry about that laterA: What kind of career are you planning for yourself?B: I don't know. I think I'd like to have a job where I can help people. Everybody else in my family is in law or business-you know, boring stuff like that. That's just not for me. I know I'd like to work overseas, though. Maybe in a children's hospital in a developing country. But that's a long way away. I have to get into medical school first, and that's not going to be easy!A: What kind of job do I have in kind? Well, I don't want a regular nine-to–five job. Eventually, I'd like to get into acting-maybe even break into movies. But I guess that won't happen for a while.B: So what are you doing in the meantime?A: Well, I work out at the gym nearly every day. I need to be really fit. And I'm taking acting lessons as well so that I feel comfortable in front of the crowd. I just had some pictures taken to show to agents in the city. Would you like to see them?B: Sure.A bossA: How do you like your new boss?B: She's OK. I just wish she'd learn to lighten up a little.A: What do you mean?B: Oh, she never enjoys a joke. She never laughs. It's hard to even get a smile out of her.A Co-workerA: Look what Mary gave me! Isn't this a great book?B: Yeah, it is! Mary's so sweet-she's always giving her friends and co-workers presents. I wish there were more people like her in this world!A teacherA: What do you think of the new French teacher?B: Well, she's king of strange. She's in a good mood one minute and in a terrible mood the next.A relativeA: Hey, what's wrong?B: I'm fed up with my brother! It seems as if he's always angry at me something.A: Really?B: Yeah. He gets up upset so easily. I don't know what's the matter with him.A: I don't know what classed to take this semester. I can't decide what I want to do with my life. Have you thought about it, Brenda?B: Yes, I have. I think I'd make a good journalist because I love writing.A: Maybe I could be a teacher because I'm very creative. And I like working with kids.B: Oh, I wouldn't want to be a teacher. I'm too inpatient.A: I know one thing I could never do.B: What's that?A: I could never be a stockbroker because I'm not good at making decisions quickly.A: My history professor says I should think about a career in politics. But I don't think I'd make a good politician.B: Why not, Brenda?A: Oh, you know me. I'm terrible at speaking in front of a lot of people-you know, like giving speeches and things. And politicians have to speak in public all the time.B: That's true. You know, that reminds me of a problem I'm having.A: What is it?B: You know my parents have a really successful restaurant, right? Well, my father wants me to be the manager.A: And you don't want go?B: No, not at all. I'd be a terrible manager. I'm much too disorganizedUnit 11 It's really worth seeing!A: We are now approaching the famous Statue of Liberty, which has welcomed visitors to New YorkHarbor since 1886.B: Wow! Look at it.A: Incredible, isn't it?B: The statue was given to the United States by the people of France. It was designed by the French sculptor Bartholdi.A: It's really huge.

Candidates are examined not only on the quickest routes but also on the quickest routes at different times of the day. People who want to pass the examination spend much of their free time driving or even cycling around London, studying maps and learning the huge street directory by heart.Passage 2: The UndergroundTravelling on the London underground (the ‘tube’) presents few difficulties for visitors because of the clear colour- coded maps. It is always useful to have plenty of spare change with you because there are often long queues at the larger stations. If you have enough change you can buy your ticket from a machine. You will find signs which list the stations in alphabetical order, with the correctfares, near the machines. There are automatic barriers which are operated by the tickets. You should keep the ticket, because it is checked at the destination.Lesson 2Section ITask1: Film EditingA.True or False Questions.1—4: TFTFB.Fill in the following blanks to give a clear picture of what needs to be done before a film isready for distribution.A.1B.1C.1.2.have no apartment, sleep on the steps of the building, crawl over sleeping people to get inside.3.nothing will grow, they never see the sun.4.soylent: soylent red, soylent yellow, and soylent green. 2, soybeans, soylent green, oceanplants.5.90 degree.6.electricity, ride bicycles to make it.Section IITask 1: American IndiansA.Answer the following questions briefly.1.1492.2.He thought that he had arrived in India.3.They were kind to them and wanted to help.4.(1) They wanted bigger farms and more land for themselves; (2) More immigrants came from Europe.5.It was their mother.

He often fell asleep while he was watching his sheep. And he told lies. The villagers shook their heads and said, ‘That boy will come t o a bad end.’One day, when he was feeling very bored, the boy decided to play a practical joke on the villagers. He ran down the hill. ‘Wolf,wolf!’ he cried. ‘Help, come quickly. Wolf!’ All the villagers seized their spears and ran to help him. But there was no wolf. ‘He heard you,’ the naughty boy lied, ‘and ran away.’ When everyone had gone, he started to laugh.Three weeks later, when he was feeling very bored indeed, he decided to play the same trick again. ‘Wolf, wolf!’ he shouted.‘Help, come quickly. Wolf!’ Most of the villagers hurried to help him. This time the boy laughed at them. ‘Ha, ha… There wasn’t a wolf,’ he said. ‘What a good joke!’ The villagers were very angry. ‘Lies are not jokes,’ they said.Two days later the boy woke up suddenly. He had fallen asleep in the afternoon sun. What was that big dark animal coming towards his flock? Suddenly it seized a lamb. ‘Wolf!’ screamed the boy. ‘Wolf. Help, come quickly. Wolf!’ But none of the villagers came to help him. He screamed again. The wolf heard him and licked its lips. ‘I like lamb,’ it thought, ‘but shepherd-boy tastes much nicer.’When the shepherd-boy didn’t come home that night, some of the villagers went to look for him. They found a few bones.Lesson 9A.B.NameC.1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.Very hard work, not very pleasant sometimes.10.At first she is afraid she is not good enough.

Lesson 32Interviewer: Could you tell me how we should keep fit?Dr. Davis: Well really what we should do is to try to erm keep fit all round. Now what do I mean by that? I mean er such things as keeping up our strength and our suppleness and our stamina. Now er you may say why do we need all three of those things? Well, erm strength is useful really just so that we erm don't strain muscles or pull ligaments and tendons when we suddenly have to do something er a bit energetic like lift a heavy suitcase or er perhaps er shift a wardrobe or even get out of a chair or a bath. Erm. Suppleness is important er obviously so that you can can bend and and move freely and reach things, again without injuring yourself. And stamina is particularly important so that you can sort of keep going without ... without losing breath so you have you have endurance. One other great plus about developing stamina is that if you er maintain your stamina over a period of years, it actually has an effect of protecting the heart against heart disease.Interviewer: So out of those three, which is the most important?Dr. Davis: Well, it depends who you are and what you want to do. I mean, the ... the reason for keeping fit is to keep fit for your way of life, the life you choose. Now, you may say 'Well, if I choose to sort of flop about in an armchair all day watching telly, I don't need to keep very fit, do I?' Well, that's unfortunately not true because there are always times when you have to make a little bit of extra demand on your body. Erm by force of circumstance. You may have to suddenly lift something heavy or move something or may have to er run for a bus or whatever. In which case you could do yourself an injury and you may even actually erm harm something important, like your heart. So it is important to actually to try to keep your fitness a little bit ahead of the sort of erm way of life that you have. Just to give you ... to push yourself just that little bit harder and get yourself just that little bit fitter.Interviewer: So how do you do it?Dr. Davis: Well it doesn't have to be all grim and irksome. I mean, people have this view of fitness er freaks you know, who sort of are jogging grim-faced round the park you know, or who are er working weights, doing all sorts of horribleexercises you know. PT ... Very grim indeed. It doesn't have to be like that. To keep yourself fit, or get yourself fitter, which is really what it's about, you just have to do a little bit more each day, erm or even every other day for that matter. By a little bit more I mean erm for instance just er walking a bit more often, a bit further, perhaps getting off the bus a stop or two sooner. Erm perhaps er doing a bit of ... a bit of cycling instead of travelling by public transport. Using the stairs instead of going up in the lift. It's surprising the number of people that erm I see on the London tube who are actually standing on the escalators going down you know, just standing there slowly going down. And the same with lifts. People who take the lift down I mean, that's ridiculous. You should at least walk down, but preferably walk up, because by walking upstairs you actually perform really quite a useful aerobic exercise, that's an exercise that develops stamina, and that's having a beneficial effect on your whole body, toning you up and helping to protect against heart disease.Interviewer: So it isn't necessary to play squash three times a week or go swimming three times a week?Dr. Davis: It isn't necessary. Er actuallyswimming is a rather good way of keeping fit because it's particularly excellent for erm all three of the S-Factors if you like, the strength, the suppleness and the stamina. It helps to develop all three of those rather well, and er it's also a very pleasant and relaxing way to keep yourself in shape. Three times a week would be just about right actually, or even twice a week, or even once a week. Em. Squash though is not a good way to get fit. You have to actually get fit to play squash. Squash is a very demanding game.A very very er energetic game, and in fact you could do yourself a lot of damage by playing squash if you're not in good physical shape to start with.Interviewer: I have a lot of friends who play sport, and they always seem to have bad backs and pulled tendons, so what would you say to them?Dr. Davis: I'd say to them they're ... they're going about it the wrong way. Erm. They're forcing themselves into ... into sports, perhaps before they're ready, before they've got themselves in shape first. You have to get in shape to play these sports. Erm. And also for people who force themselves into these things generally. That's bad. Mustn't do that. Whenever you're exercising, or ... or just carrying out some physical activity,never push yourself beyond comfort. Anything that's uncomfortable, don't do it. Stop. Slow down. It's basically got to be fun. I mean, to keep yourself in shape you've got to carry on exercising week in week out, month in month out, year in year out, Now that sounds awful, but if you choose something which you enjoy doing, er, it's fun, then you will keep it up. You see you can't put fitness in the bank as it were. If you don't carry on exercising, all the benefits that you get from exercising will all disappear within about 6 to 8 weeks. All go and you'll be back where you stared so you have to keep it up, and to keep it up, it has to be something you enjoy, it has to be fun. So choose something which you get a lot of pleasure out of, and that way it won't seem irksome at all.Interviewer: What do you do to keep fit?Dr. Davis: Ah well, I'm glad you asked me that question. Actually, what I ... I live in London and I work in London, er so what I what I do to keep fit is to certainly do quite a lot of walking.I certainly walk upstairs er a lot, but also I doa fair amount of cycling, er and as I'm dashing round London I I use the bike. I find it the fastest way to get around town and it's er it's really good for keeping in shape. I'm a littleworried about the traffic fumes, I have to admit, but actually er it makes me feel very good to cycle around there and I get there on time!In September bombs went off in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. They were the work allegedly of a group of Neo-Nazis, three of whom now sit in an Idaho jail awaiting trial. While they wait, commentator Clay Morgan has been thinking about the bombings, the bombers and what it all means for his part of the country.I lived in a promised land. We got trouble here right now. Some Neo-Nazis declared the north-west to be the homeland for the white races. In the past several weeks we've had four bombs blow up. The situation here is serious. I had a hope that they just go away. I was embarrassed by the news coverage. Every time I saw a story, I cringed and thought my God this will make four more of them move here. Then the bombs exploded in Coeur d'Alene. Let me describe these people to you. They are men mostly. They like to live in forts, and dress up like Hitler. They wear jackboots, brown shirts and military caps. They march around and act tough. What they are is evil. These are the cowardly little boys who never grow up. It is our misfortune that they came here. The north-west attracts these people with all the attributes of a promised land. A promised land you see is a place that's far away, isolated andsparsely populated by people who try to mind their own business. The north-west fits that bill. Ninety percent of some of our states are public lands, owned by everybody. That's everybody. This is a place to breath in. The pioneers came here on the Oregon trail. The Mormons came here to practice their religion. The Basques came here to escape poverty and persecution in Spain. Wyoming was the first state to give women the vote, the first to elect a woman governor. Idaho was the first to have a Jewish governor. Now we are attracting fascists like we were Paraguay. Bad things are happening in a good place.We would like to have the sheriff go to them and say, "Pack up! Clear up! Get out of the state by sundown!" But we cannot. It is not against the law to believe in evil. The white supremacists protected by laws are meant to protect everybody. That's everybody. And we are to keep those laws. We can only watch these creeps and be ready when they make their move. The people who set off those bombs in Coeur d'Alene meant to rob the bank and ransack the armory. But when the bombs went off, the law came down so fast and hard the perpetrators lost their nerve. They got caught. There were several others who were not in jail yet. But we know about them. We can stand up to them. Those bombs did not scare Coeur d'Alene. So get ready for a good ending to a bad story. After allthis embarrassment, Coeur d'Alene would be the town that stands up to evil and wins. And this Promised Land, maybe, would drop out the news and we can mind our own business again.Writer Clay Morgan lives in McCall, Idaho.

"There's a fist fight in the lunchroom," she gasps. The responsibility is yours to stop the fight. How do you meet it?(1) Perhaps you, as a youngster, took part in fights and your present-day ties with students are warm and strong. You can stop the fight because your prestige is high among them.(2) You have a plan prepared. Other schools have been disrupted so you have already planneda way to stop any fight.(3) You are totally confident of your abilities in a crisis. You are ready to stride into the lunchroom and take charge without a single qualm. Stopping the fight will be easy.(4) You fervently wish that you could delegate the job since you know that you're not a talented peacemaker. You wish you could return to the job of planning for the school's needs ten years hence.One of these four reactions would be the first you'd feel, but only one—not two or three of them, say three psychologists. These psychologists—Dr. Harriet Mann, Dr. Humphrey Osmond and Miriam Siegler—have come up with a scheme for sorting people regardless of their education, age or situation.The concept is based on the premise that all people have a basic way of seeing time. Each of us is predisposed to seeing all events from one time vantage point. Either it reminds you of the past (past-oriented), how the event fits in to today, yesterday and tomorrow (time line), what it is today (present), or how it will develop (future).The three began working in 1968 when Dr. Mann and Mrs. Siegler were assistants to Dr. Osmond,director, at the Bureau of Research, New Jersey Neuro-Psychiatric Institute in Princeton. Dr. Osmond is currently devising ways to make empirical studies of the theory and Dr. Mann is in Cambridge, Massachusetts, writing a book on the Worlds of Time. Their take-off point was an interest in observations made by Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung, who described in the 1920s the temperamental differences of four psychological types. Jung is known as the founder of analytic psychology. Since Jung's work in 1921, however, no one had conceived of a theoretical framework that would account for the four types. Without such a framework, there was no possibility of substantiating that people of different types experience the world very differently. Time and space are the touchstones in the system. Each person, after all, uses his time somehow and exists within and acts upon the space around him. Dr. Mann and company propose that certain traits are shared by persons falling in each of the four categories.The first type, the past type, sees time as being circular. For him, the past crops up in the present and then returns to the past as a memory. He enjoys collecting souvenirs and keeping diaries. He tells stories about Great Aunt Hattie and always remembers your birthday.Past types are pegged by this system as emotional people who see the world in a highly subjective way. For instance, School Principal I (past type) could identify with the fight and know how to handle it because of some past experience—whether it be similar fights as a child himself or ones previously dealt with as the school principal. In addition, past types usually follow strict moral codes and often are valued more for what they are than for what they do. This quality itself—because it lends authoritarian strength to one who possesses it—might cause the students to quit fighting. Past types often have been found to be skillful at assessing the exact emotional tenor of an event and are adept at influencing others' emotions, according to theMann group.Research reveals that many past-oriented people are flexible in early years when they do not have much of a personal past to draw upon. However, the dash of youth is often replaced by a need for stability and usually is rooted by age thirty-five or so. From this age onward, they are conservatives."They need to see things in the ways which were popular, fashionable and appropriate in their younger days," explains Dr. Mann. This applies, with exceptions of course, to personal taste in clothing fashions, music appreciation, and other social and environmental factors. In short, the past type often clings to the well-established way with nostalgic verve. Also, the past type finds it difficult to be punctual since the on-going feeling is more important than his next task.The goal of these people is "to develop a language of the heart, rather than of the mind. To develop those techniques which make memorieslive, and to dignify any act of remembrance; those are the essential concerns of past-oriented types," explain the authors in the Journal of Analytical Psychology.。
