PART I: READING
WORLD CHAMPION MEMORY MAN
This is Dominic
O'LEARY, the man
with
the
best
memory
in
the
world. He can tell
you the day of any
date in any year.
What day was April
21,
1876?
'Wednesday,'
says
Dominic. He can remember the teams and the
scores of every football match in every World
Cup. And he became world champion
memory man when he remembered the order
of thirty-five packs of playing cards!
At school, Dominic was a pupil who couldn't
remember his lessons. 'My maths and English
teachers said I was stupid because I could
never remember what they taught me.' But
four years ago he saw a programme on
television which showed people how to
improve their memory, and last October he
became world champion. 'I remembered the
order of thirty-five packs of cards,' said
Dominic. 'It was quite easy.'
Dominic, 34, can earn £800 a day on
European TV programmes. He lives with his
wife, Alison, a clothes designer, in a small
village near Bath, and he is the manager of an
office cleaning company.
Casino managers don't want Dominic to visit
their casinos, because he can remember every
card. 'I played as a professional gambler for a
few months, and I won £1,000 a
night, but then the managers asked
me to leave.'
We went with Dominic to seven
clubs in London and Brighton. He
started with £500, and four hours
later, he had £1,250 in his pocket.
He won £750.
He played in just three clubs for
four hours. The other four clubs
knew his face and didn't want him to play.
In his free time, Dominic loves number games
and crosswords, writing music, and playing
the piano. He says children can learn to
improve their memory from the age of five.
'Then they can do anything,' says Dominic.
HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY
Dominic says anyone can have a good
memory. These are his suggestions.
1 When you go to bed, remember everything
you did that day.
2 Remember things in pictures, not words.
'Words are difficult to remember, but pictures
are easy.' For example, if you want to
remember the name Kate, think of a cat. For
the number 8814, think of two snowmen, a
tree and a bird.
3 if you forget something, remember where
you were when you could remember it.

READING TEXT II:
EFFECTS OF CIGARETTE SMOKING
There are three harmful substances in cigarettes: tar, carbon monoxide and nicotine. Cigarette
smokers who inhale the smoke, or breathe it in, can develop lung cancer. Other smokers who only
takethe smoke into their mouths can suffer from throat, tongue and larynx cancers. The substance
which causes cancer is the tar in cigarettes. Cigarette manufacturers have tried to develop low tar
brands of cigarettes to reduce the dangers. Certain forms of filters in addition to the cigarette's own
filter can also help. However, nothing can completely eliminate , i.e., remove, the tar without
changing the taste of the cigarette completely.
The effects of carbon monoxide are perhaps more serious because they can cause permanent
damage - damage which lasts for a very long time - on others besides the smokers themselves.
Increased carbon monoxide intake automatically means reduced oxygen intake, and consequently a
lower oxygen content in the blood and the brain. An oxygen-starved brain (a brain without enough
oxygen) begins to die.
It is true that cigarette smokers need cigarettes. Of course they do not actively choose to harm
themselves and others, but they are forced to do so because of their dependence on the strong and
fast-acting stimulant called nicotine . In other words, they can't do without it. People who
smoke frequently claim that smoking makes them feel calm and soothes their nerves, but this is a
physiological impossibility, not a real effect at all. Actually it appears to be the psychological
consequence of satisfying a need because cigarettes, like coffee and tea, are arousing agents and
they make people more nervous, not less.
