The truth about
healthy eating
Food experts are always telling us what we should
and shouldn't eat, but they often give us different
advice. Our food writer, Teresa Gold, has taken a look
at all the information to figure out what is fact and
what is fiction.
ı c_______
A typical American breakfast of fried eggs, bacon,
toast, pancakes, and orange juice will certainly stop
you from feeling hungry, but it's high in calories, which
means that you'll gain weight if you eat it regularly.
A healthier option is to have just an egg. Boil it
instead of frying it, and eat it with a piece of toast
made with whole-wheat bread. Breakfast cereals
are very high in sugar, so if you feel like cereal,
have granola - with no added sugar. You can also
get your first vitamins of the day by drinking a glass
of freshly squeezed orange juice.
2 ______________
Fruits and vegetables contain the vitamins and
minerals we need to stay healthy. But five is actually
a fictional nurnberthought up by an American
nutritionist. She looked at what the average person
ate and doubled it. According to more recent
research, the right number is actually eight. The
research shows that people who have eight pieces
of fruit and vegetables a day are much less likely to
suffer from heart disease than those who eat three.
3 _____________
This particular fruit has had some bad publicity because
dentists say it can harm our teeth. While it's true that
apples do contain a little sugar, they are also a source
of fiber Nutritionists say that we need about 18 grams
of fibera day, and a medium apple- peel included —
contains about 3 grams. Some varieties contain more
fiber than others, so you should choose carefully.
4 _____________
The key to good health is a balanced diet that contains
fats and carbohydrates as well as proteins, vitamins,
and minerals. Fats may be high in calories, but they also
contain vitamins. According to the World Cancer Research
Fund, you should only have about 500 grams of red meat
per week - a steak is about 100 grams. One type of food
on its own won't kill or cure you, but eating the right
amount of the right food will stop you from getting sick.

I Family can be an important part of a person's life,
and for some nationalities being close to your family
is more important than it is to others. For example,
families in Southern Europe are generally very close,
although in the past they spent even more time together.
This is also true of families in the Middle East. But it
is the Bedouin people who have the closest ties of all.

Located in Greenwich Village, this small club, which started in 1919,

and expect to see lots of serious jazz fans and music students from
local colleges and music schools. Usually $ 1 0 -2 0 .

This club was created in 1994, but has already become very
famous in New York because well-known players such as Norah
Jones began their careers here. The club closed in 2002, but
opened again in 2004, with a more comfortable room and a website
tha t features live streaming video o f all performances. It opens

Come to the first floor o fth e famous Carlyle Hotel to visit the Cafe
Carlyle. It’s particularly worth going on Monday nights - not only will
you hear jazz from the Eddy Davis New Orleans Jazz Band, but you
will also hear the famous movie director Woody Allen play with them.
As well as being a director, Woody Allen is also a jazz musician. Sets at
8:45. The venue holds only 90 and is often sold out, so it’s a good idea
to book ahead. But it isn't cheap - tickets start at $100.

New York taxis come in many diffe re n t shapes and sizes, but to be
official taxis they m ust be yellow. They m ust also have a special code
called a medallion number: one number, then one letter, and two
more numbers. A bronze badge with the same code should also be
displayed on the hood.

How to hail a New York taxi.
First, try to hail a taxi in the direction you are already going; it saves
tim e and money. When you see an available taxi, make sure it's
safe and step o ff the sidewalk while holding your hand up high. If for
any reason you don’t get the driver’s attention, step back onto the
sidewalk and wait fo r the next available taxi and repeat the process.
It’s as simple as that.

New York taxi fares.
Once you step into the cab the m eter will be turned on. This is called
the “flag-drop fare” and is $2.50. After tha t it will cost you 50 cents
for every one-fifth of a mile, or 5 0 cents per minute if you are stuck in
traffic. There is a flat-rate charge o f $52 from Manhattan to JFK Airport.

nebworth House is famous worldwide for the major open-air
rock concerts that have been held on its grounds since
1979. Knebworth is in the southeast England, and the Lytton
family have lived there for over 500 years. The house itself is
one of the oldest stately homes in the UK. It is also one of the
most popular locations for the world's filmmakers.
K
Not surprisingly, the Gothic architecture of the house appealed
to American movie director Tim Burton when he saw it. He
was in the UK shooting a new version of the movie Batman at
the time. He thought that the facade of the building would be
perfect as the exterior of Wayne Manor, the home of Batman.
But the inside of Wayne Manor was actually shot at another big
house in the same area - Hatfield House.
The inside of Knebworth House has also been used in many
movies. An important scene from the 2010 Oscar-winning movie
The King's Speech was shot in the ballroom. This movie was made
by the British director Tom Hooper. It starred Colin Firth as the
young King George VI of England, who had a speech impediment.
The ballroom was the venue for a party that was held by his older
brother Edward. In a corner of the room, Edward tells George
that he is planning to marry divorced American woman, Wallis
Simpson, something that makes it impossible for him to be King
of England. It is George who becomes King instead.
And, of course, like many other historic buildings in the UK,
Knebworth has made an appearance in the Harry Potter movies.
In the fourth movie of the series, Harry Potter and the Goblet
of Fire, a holiday dance is held in Hogwarts School. Before the
dancing starts, there is a scene where one of Harry's friends
appears in a beautiful long dress. The staircase that she descends
while her friends look on in amazement is, in fact, the one in
Knebworth House.
These are just a few of the famous scenes filmed at Knebworth
House. To discover more, why not visit Knebworth yourself?
The house is only 27 miles from London, and is easy to get to
by car or by train. Knebworth House is a must for all movie

Today, it is normal for magazines
to show pictures of models and
celebrities that have been "Photoshopped." This means that
the original photos have been changed on a computer using
Photoshop® software to make them look better. The beautiful
people in the photographs have perfect skin, no fat on their
stomachs, and no wrinkles on their faces. They look so perfect
and beautiful that what we see can't be real. But some publishers
and advertisers insist that Photoshopping is necessary so that
celebrities and models always look their best.
On the other hand, health organizations have warned that digitally
altering photographs may be dangerous. They say Photoshopped
images are not realistic, and may have a negative effect on people.
Psychologists agree with the health organizations. They say some
people try so hard to look like the pictures in magazines that they get
sick. In some cases, they want to be as thin as the models and so they
stop eating enough. When they realize that it is impossible to look so
good, they get depressed. This doesn't only happen to young girls,
but it can happen to people of all ages. So what can be done to keep
everybody happy? Two researchers at Dartmouth University in New
Hampshire, think they have found the answer.
Professor Hany Farid and Doctor Eric Klee have developed a
computer program that can detect how much Photoshopping has been
used on an image. Their software gives a rating from 1 to 5 to the
image - 1 for a few changes, and 5 for a lot of changes. Farid and Klee's
idea is that publishers include the rating next to the image. That way,
consumers will be able to figure out how realistic the image is.
News of Farid and Klee's system has come out at the same time as
people have started criticizing the use of Photoshopping. They say that
some advertisers are going too far with it. Recently, the actress Rachel
Weisz appeared in an ad for an anti-aging beauty cream. In the ad,
Ms. Weisz looked like a teenager - in fact, she's in her early forties.
There were a lot of complaints about the image and the ad was
eventually banned. Farid and Klee's system could solve two problems
at the same time. First, it would serve as a kind of health warning
for consumers, and second, it may stop advertisers from relying on
Photoshopping so much.

When is it time
to stop studying?
t's 10 p.m. and six government employees are out checking the
streets of Seoul, South Korea. But these are not police officers
looking for teenagers who are behaving badly. Their mission is to
find children who are still studying. And stop them.
I
Education in South Korea is very competitive. The aim of
almost every schoolchild is to get into one of the country's top
universities. Only the students with the best grades get a place.
The school day starts at 8 a.m. and students finish studying
somewhere between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m. at night. This is because
many go to private academies called hagwon after school.
Around 74 percent of all students attend a hagwon after their
regular classes finish. A year's course costs, on average, $2,600
per student. In Seoul, there are more private tutors than
schoolteachers, and the most popular ones make millions of dollars
a year from online and in-person classes. Most parents rely on
private tutoring to get their children into a university.
With so much time spent in the classroom, all that students in
South Korean high schools do is study and sleep. Some of them are
so exhausted that they cannot stay awake the next day at school.
It is a common sight to see a teacher explaining the lesson while a
third of the students are asleep on their desks. The teachers don't
seem to mind. There are even special pillows for sale that fit over
the arms of the chairs to make sleeping in class more comfortable.
Ironically, the students spend class time sleeping so that they can
stay up late studying that night.
The South Korean government has been aware of the
faults in the system for some time, but now they have
passed some reforms. Today, schoolteachers have to
meet certain standards or take additional training
courses.
However, the biggest challenge for the government is
the hagwons. Hagwons have been banned from
having classes after 10 p.m., which is why there are
street patrols looking for children who are studying
after that time. If they find any in class, the owner
of the hagwon is punished and the students are sent
home. It's a strange world, where some children have
to be told to stop studying while others are reluctant
to start.

Are you interested in the history of your house? If you are, then you might
want to get in touch with a house historian. A house historian’s job is to
find out what has happened to a particular house in the past. They try to
discover who built the house, who has lived in the building since it was built,
and what was on the site of the building before. Their research can uncover
all kinds of interesting information.

However, house historians do not only focus on one particular house.
They also find out about the area where the house was built. Some areas
are completely different now than they were in the past. One example is
an area in Central London called Belgravia. Today, it is one of the richest
neighborhoods in the world, but in the early nineteenth century, it was a
poorer area. People used to go there during the day to hang their laundry or
to collect plants for food. At night, many people would avoid the area because
it was full of criminals.

We spoke to house historian Tracy Collins, who told us some of her stories.
One of the houses she had to research was an apartment at 200 Oxford Street
in London. She discovered that the author George Orwell had once stayed
with the owners of the apartment. He had slept in the smallest bedroom in
the apartment, which was very dark. Later, when he wrote his novel 1964,
he used the room as the inspiration
for the famous Room 101. On another
occasion, she was looking into the
story of an apartment building in
Orchard Court, also in London. She
found out that the apartment had been
used by spies during the World War II.
First of all, the spies were invited to the
building for a job interview. If they were
successful, they took a training course.
After the course, they returned to the
apartment for their instructions.Then,
they were sent on a mission. But Tracy’s
third story is even more dramatic.
When she was investigating a house in
another part of London, she discovered
that a murder had happened there!

If you can’t afford to pay a professional to research the history of your
house, you can try to research the past yourself. The best place to start is to
find all the official documents belonging to your house. These should give
you some idea of who the previous owners were. After that, you should
go to the office that has the official documents of your area. Some of these
go back hundreds of years! You may not find out anything particularly
interesting about your house, but you'll definitely to enjoy the search.

To explore New York, you'll need a map and a MetroCard.
Maps are available at the Visitor Information Center and you
can buy a MetroCard at any of the subway stations. A seven-day
pass costs $30, and you can use it on the subways and city
buses. Below are some places you might like to visit.

READING
This famous New York landmark is only accessible by ferry.
You should get your tickets in advance either online, by phone,
or in person at the ferry departure points. An adult ticket costs
$24 and includes a tour of Liberty Island and a visit to the
Immigration Museum on Ellis Island.
Central Park
Central Park is very big, so the best way to see it is by bike. It
costs $20 to rent one for two hours and ride around the park on
your own, or you can book a tour, which costs about $47 per
person. The tour leaves daily at 9 a.m.
MoMA
M o M A is the most influential museum of modern art in the
world, so it's definitely worth a visit. There are famous works by
Picasso, Kandinsky, Andy Warhol, and many, many more. It is
open from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (8 p.m. on Fridays) and tickets
are $25 for adults.

Top tips for safe
online shopping
US shoppers spent $202 billion buying items
online in 2011. Experts predict that our spending
will increase to $327 billion by 2016. Read on to
find out how you can protect yourself when you
are shopping online.
1
E_
When you buy things on the Internet, there is always a
chance that something may go wrong. The product could
be broken when you get it, or it might not turn up at
all. If this happens, your credit card will offer you the
best protection. Some credit cards allow you to dispute
a purchase, meaning the credit card company will stop
payment on a purchaseuntil the matter is resolved. This is
why a credit card is the best way to pay.
2
_
Make sure that your device, for example your laptop or
tablet, is safe to use at all times. It should be protected by
up-to-date antivirus software, and you should also install
a personal firewall, which will stop hackers from attacking
your system. Make sure that your firewall is turned on
before you start shopping, and when you finish be sure
to log out of the system, especially if you share your
computer with other people.
3 _
Take a minute to look at the website before you buy
anything. Check that the company has a geographical
address as well as a landline telephone number, and write
down these details. It is generally better to use sellers
that you know about or ones that have been recommended
to you.
4 _
Somewhere on the seller's website, there should be a list
of all your rights (for example, what to do if you have a
problem with the item you bought, or if it hasn't arrived).
Make sure you read this before you decide to shop there.
If you can't find the list, you should probably choose a
different website.
5 _
A special icon on your screen will tell you if the website you
are using is safe. The icon is in the shape of a padlock, and
you can find it on the browser bar at the top or bottom
of the screen. Another indication of a safe website is its
address. The address should begin with "https" and not
"http" - the s stands for secure.
6
_
The final stage of online shopping is the order confirmation.
This is proof that you have bought a product from this
company, and it contains the special reference number
for your order. You should always print this information
and keep it somewhere safe - you might need it if there
is a problem.

Ethical hacker
What they do
A hacker doesn't usually have
permission to enter a company's
computer system. But an ethical
hacker is actually employed by a
company to take care of the system.
Ethical hackers have to protect a
com pany's IT network from real
hackers. Their job is to stop
professional criminals from entering the company's
system to steal confidential information.

on a golf course end up in the hole on the
green. In fact, golfers hit a surprisingly high
number of them into the lake. Golf-ball divers
do exactly what the job title suggests: they dive
into the lake to collect the balls. Professional
divers only work during the day. They have to
wear special diving equipment, as well as a pair
of thick waterproof gloves to keep their hands
from getting cold.

How to get a job
To be a golf-ball diver, you need an advanced
certificate in scuba diving. Once you have the
right qualifications, you can choose to work
for a company or to work for yourself. If you
work for a company, the company will organize
your schedule for you, whereas if you're selfemployed, you have to contact the golf courses
yourself. Golf-ball divers are paid between
seven and 12 cents per ball, and on an average
day, they can collect about 4 ,0 0 0 balls. If you
w ork from 7 a.m. to noon four days a week, you
can earn up to $ 100,000 per year.
Forensic
dentist
What they do
Forensic dentists spend
most of their time identifying dead bodies.
When a body is found, the dentist looks at the
teeth and checks the records of other dentists
to try and discover w ho the person was. If they
don't find any information to match the dead
person's teeth, the forensic dentist has to build
up a profile about them. This profile contains
information such as the person's sex, age,
height, weight, and diet. Forensic dentists often
w ork closely with the police and they sometimes
have to give evidence in court.

After he had seen the pictures of the crash, Mr. Hamilton
called emergency services. The police came immediately
and an ambulance arrived on the scene soon after. A
spokesperson from the ambulance service said that the
couple both had minor injuries, but only one of them had
been taken to the hospital. A neighbor said that she had seen
the young couple having an argument in the car when the
accident happened.

An elderly couple from Central England, had a shock
last night after they had gone to bed. Seventy-five-year old
Howard Hamilton and his wife were just falling asleep when
they heard a big bang in their front yard. They both jumped
straight out of bed to look out the window and see what had
happened. What they saw was a badly damaged car lying
in their front yard. Next to the car there was a young couple
hugging each other. Once Mr. Hamilton realized that nobody
had been hurt, he decided to go and find out what had
caused the accident.

On the recording, he saw that the girlfriend had
been driving the car. He watched her turn the corner and
lose control of the car. The car crashed right through the
wall of his yard and came to a stop in the middle of the
lawn. But the most dramatic thing is what had happened to
her boyfriend. Before the crash, the sunroof of the car had
been open. When the car hit the wall, Mr. Hamilton saw the
boyfriend fly out of the sunroof and land heavily on the lawn.
Miraculously, he was not hurt. Instead, he got up, and went to
find his girlfriend. She didn’t seem to be badly injured either
- she appeared to be wearing her seat belt when the accident
happened.

Apparently, this is the fourth time that a car has
driven through the wall of Mr. Hamilton’s yard. This is
because drivers often go around the corner too fast, and lose
control of their vehicles. Mr. Hamilton’s sister Joyce, who
lives next door, said that it had been lucky that nobody had
been walking on the sidewalk. She said that she didn’t know
what would have happened if there had been somebody
there. Regarding the number of accidents that have
happened on the corner, she said, “We’re getting used to it.”

his front door. The Hamiltons live on the corner of a road that
leads to the main road, and passersby can easily step over the
low wall that surrounds his yard. When he played back the
pictures of the accident, he could not believe his eyes.

ave you ever dropped a drink on your laptop? If you have,
H
you'll remember the panic when you thought that your
machine would never work again. If you haven't, it may
well happen to you in the future. Spilling drinks on a laptop
is a common occurrence. Just in case it does happen, here are
some basic tips that tell you what you should do.
The effect of the drink on your laptop depends on what it is.
Water and green tea generally cause the least damage. The
worst drinks to spill are those that contain milk and sugar,
such as hot drinks like coffee and tea, and soft drinks like
soda or lemonade.
What happens to your laptop also depends on what you
do immediately after the spill. The first thing you should
do is unplug the machine and take the battery out. This
will hopefully stop any electrical damage. Then, you should
turn it upside down and stop the liquid from getting to the
motherboard. This is where some of the most important
parts of the computer are, and if it gets wet, your laptop
may be damaged permanently.
The next step is to clean up as much of the liquid as quickly
as possible. If you don't have a cloth to do this, use some
tissues instead. Try to touch the keyboard lightly instead of
wiping it with the tissue.
If you spilled a lot of liquid, you'll have to work harder to save
your machine. Put it near a window or somewhere with cold
air, and shake it gently to get the liquid out. It might help if
you take off the bottom of the case so that you can take out
the hard drive. If you do this, remember not to touch any of
the electronics. When you have done as much as you can,
leave the laptop somewhere warm to dry. This will take at
least a day. Do not use a hair dryer because this will make the
machine dirty.
When you think the laptop is dry, turn it back on to see if it
works. If you only spilled a little clean water, you might be
lucky and the machine may turn on right away. However, you'll
probably have problems if the drink was a large, milky coffee
with lots of sugar in it. If your laptop still doesn't work, look at
the keyboard and try taking it apart to clean it better. However,
if you've gone this far, it's probably time to think about getting
some help. You can either take the laptop to be repaired, or buy
a new one. And in the future, remember to drink your coffee at
someone else's desk!

The bagel is known around the world as a typically New York type of food.
But it has a surprising and unusual history that goes back many years.
The basic idea of a bread roll with a hole is centuries old. In Roman
times, soldiers ate hard bread called buccellatum, and in China there
is similar-shaped traditional bread called girde. The ancient Egyptians
ate a bagel-like snack, too, and there are even more examples from
around the Mediterranean area.
But it was in Poland that today’s bagel really began. According to
legend, it was the product of the 1683 Battle of Vienna. The Polish
king, Jan Sobieski, had saved Austria from the Turkish invaders. To
celebrate, the Jewish bakers of Krakow made a roll in the shape of the
king’s stirrup - the metal objects you put your feet in when you ride
a horse - and called it a “buegel” (from the German word for stirrup).
There is, however, no evidence to show whetherthis was true or not,
but the story still remains today.
It is unclear when the first bagels made their way to the United
States, but by 1900, there were ?0 bakeries that sold bagels on the
Lower East Side of New York. What is also certain is that immigrants
from Eastern Europe, with their cravings for the foods of the old
country, sparked the New York bagel craze.
It was the 1950s that were the real turning point. As Jewish people
began to move to other parts of New York, they started to share their
traditional food with the rest of the city. Bagels were mentioned in
a popular cookbook of the time, and demand started to grow across
America. To meet this demand, a baker named Murray Lender began
to use recent inventions like the freezer and plastic packaging to
distribute freshly made bagels across America. Soon, Lender’s bagels
were available in almost every supermarket, and today they are part
of a typical American diet and available all over the world.
But why has the bagel endured through all this time? Possibly
because of its heroic legend, but also because it has the advantage of
lasting longerthan freshly baked bread. If it gets slightly stale, it can
be dunked in hot liquid to soften it. So it lasts long, can be eaten in
many ways, and of course tastes delicious.

My father was my hero. He always worked so hard.
People think I don't train hard, but I really do - and
it's all because of him.
My earliest memory is playing in my yard. I'd play
cricket, soccer, and basketball or just run around. As
long as I was outside in the sun I was happy.

Sleep is beautiful. I live with my brother Sadiki
and my best friend NJ in Kingston, and my only
house rule is: never wake me up early.
I can't cook. I just know that vegetables are good
for you.

3 PRONUNCIATION word stress

Your environment definitely changes your personality.
I am similar to my sister. We are relaxed because we
grew up in the country (in Jamaica), but my brother is
different because he grew up in Kingston.
What I enjoy most about my house isn't the big TV
or the swimming pool, but the fruit trees in my yard.
They remind me of my childhood. When I sit and stare
at them I feel happy. I like to sit under trees.

Snakes and spiders terrify me. That's why I don't go to
Africa very often. I also used to believe in ghosts when
I was a kid and I would get scared, but not anymore.
Bob Marley is a legend. I have all his old albums, and
he did a great job of bringing Jamaica to the world.
I can be emotional. I cried at a movie last year - but
don't tell anyone.
I have always been young and fast...so the idea of
being old feels weird. I do worry about it. My friend NJ
is a couple of months older than me, so I will always be
younger than him. That makes me feel better.
