emotions
A. Nothing
brings back memories like a particular smell. Whether it's of Christmas pine,
your grandma's fresh-baked gingerbread, or cookies, the scents of Christmas are
truly special. In the days leading up to this day, the house fills with the
wonderful rich, spicy smells of vanilla, cinnamon and ginger coming from the
kitchen, promising delights to come.
B. Some
of the most pleasant scents after a hard day are vanilla, lavender, and scents
with cinnamon or ginger. Each combination of aromas can influence you
positively. For example, vanilla's sweet scent can help you if you feel sad,
lonely, or depressed. It is a naturally warming aroma. Cinnamon is good in case
you feel tired; it also has a wonderful effect on your nerves, calming you
down.
C. The
ability to smell is linked to our ability to remember things. When you first
smell a new thing, you connect it to an event, a person, or even a moment. As a
result, later the smell of cookies might remind you of spending time at your
grandmother's house when you were a small child. When you come across the smell
a second or third time, the link is already there, ready to bring out a certain
mood.
D. There
are certain smells we can identify from a mile away – almost as if they're
preprogrammed into our minds. One of them is vanilla. Today, vanilla is in our
coffee, perfumes, tea, home products, body lotion, and everywhere! Both the
scent and taste of vanilla are very strong and long-lasting. It is considered
one of the most popular scents and flavours in the world.
E. A
new study suggests that we can smell not only aromas but feelings as well –
fear, happiness, disgust and joy. The experiments proved that we can find out
how a person feels even if we neither see nor hear him. Nerves inside our nose
take informative messages about the person and his emotional state to the
brain. However, the mechanism of how this happens is not yet clear.
F. Our
sense of smell does 80% of the job when we taste various foods. Without a sense
of smell you can’t taste the difference between an apple and a potato or a
glass of juice and a cup of cold coffee. This is why, when our nose is blocked
by a cold, most foods seem tasteless. Our sense of smell becomes stronger when
we are hungry.
G. There
are many good reasons to believe that we all have our own particular smell.
Research has proved that our smell might distinguish us from others just as our
face does. Our smell is as personal as our fingerprints. For centuries the
police have used this phenomenon to catch criminals. Maybe one day they will
use our scent too.

Weekend reading
A. As
in many other European countries, Britain’s main newspapers are losing their
readers. Fewer and fewer people are buying broadsheets and tabloids at the
newsagent’s. In the last quarter of the twentieth century people became richer
and now they can choose other forms of leisure activity. Also, there is the
Internet which is a convenient and inexpensive alternative source of news.
B. The
‘Sunday papers’ are so called because that is the only day on which they are
published. Sunday papers are usually thicker than the dailies and many of them
have six or more sections. Some of them are ‘sisters’ of the daily newspapers.
It means they are published by the same company but not on week days.
C. Another
proof of the importance of ‘the papers’ is the morning ‘paper round’. Most
newsagents organise these. It has become common that more than half of the
country’s readers get their morning paper brought to their door by a teenager.
The boy or girl usually gets up at around 5:30 a.m. every day including Sunday
to earn a bit of pocket money.
D. The
quality papers or broadsheets are for the better educated readers. They devote
much space to politics and other ‘serious’ news. The popular papers, or tabloids,
sell to a much larger readership. They contain less text and a lot more
pictures. They use bigger headlines and write in a simpler style of English.
They concentrate on ‘human interest stories’ which often means scandal.
E. Not
so long ago in Britain if you saw someone reading a newspaper you could tell
what kind it was without even checking the name. It was because the quality
papers were printed on very large pages called ‘broadsheet’. You had to have
expert turning skills to be able to read more than one page. The tabloids were
printed on much smaller pages which were much easier to turn.
F. The
desire to attract more readers has meant that in the twentieth century
sometimes even the broadsheets in Britain look rather ‘popular’. They give a lot
of coverage to scandal and details of people’s private lives. The reason is
simple. What matters most for all newspaper publishers is making a profit. They
would do anything to sell more copies.
G. If
you go into any newsagent’s shop in Britain you will not find only newspapers.
You will also see rows and rows of magazines for almost every imaginable taste.
There are specialist magazines for many popular pastimes. There are around
3,000 of them published in the country and they are widely read, especially by
women. Magazines usually list all the TV and radio programmes for the coming
week and many British readers prefer them to newspapers.

When I
came into the room, my computer was on. It worried me since I
_________NOT/REMEMBER_________ switching it on. I looked around – there
_________BE_________ nobody in my room and everything was in its usual place.
Suddenly I _________UNDERSTAND_________ – the book had gone! I had left it on
the table but it wasn’t there any more. I checked the window – it
_________CLOSE_________. That meant that someone had come into the room through
the door. My _________ONE_________ impulse was to call the police but I called
Jim instead. “What _________HAPPEN_________?” Jim sounded sleepy. I explained
that someone _________TAKE_________ the book. “Oh, no!” Jim sounded unhappy.
“Have you any idea how valuable it is?” “There’s another thing I
________NOT/CAN__________ understand,” I interrupted Jim. “My computer’s on but
I always switch it off before leaving home.” “Ok, stay at home. I’ll be at
_________YOU_________ place in half an hour,” he said and the phone went dead.

There are
pills for everything. If you can't sleep you take a pill. If you're depressed
or just _________HAPPY_________, you also can take a pill. These days
scientists are developing a new pill that you can use for improving your
________FIT__________. It will have the same effect on people’s bodies as doing
sports. The ________SCIENCE__________ experiments on mice have given wonderful
results. The animals got stronger and healthier without any exercise. However,
some doctors think that such pills can be ________DANGER__________ for health,
especially in certain situations. The problem is that there will be people who
may use the pill unwisely. For example, young girls who want to lose weight and
get slim may take several pills at once. It will be very _________HARM_________
for their health. That’s why our government should think a lot before making
the ________DECIDE__________ that allows the medicine to be produced.
