"It was a wonderful wedding, an unbelievable day," says Victoria "But we have so much we want to do together now, we are both looking to the future." Her husband,banker and amateur race driver Richard, agrees "Both our minds are now fixed firmly on the future I'll never forget our wedding ceremony or the reception we had
at a cliff-side hotel afterwards, but there's so much we want, so many hopes Our marriage is so much more important than the wedding."
"At the moment, we are still living with my parents," explains Victoria, "so our first wish is to find our own place We intend to start looking for a new house with all the modern conveniences in the suburbs in the new year." Both Victoria and husband Richard have a lot of siblings Do they intend to add to the extended Hammond family? "We plan on having two or three children ourselves," Richard tells me
"Victoria is just wonderful with children and I can get 3 years paternity leave from
my work, which is just perfect."
The young couple has just returned from a two-week honeymoon spent in an
authentic Scottish castle Both the newly-weds are big travel lovers and Richard hopes this will continue "I would like to go travelling as much as possible together Travelling with someone else is such a sharing experience I think it's sad to
experience all the wonderful places in the world and have no-one else there."
Victoria also has another great travel ambition that she might have to do alone "I have always been fascinated by safari and my real wish is to go on safari Richard has no interest in wildlife though."
And what about the marriage itself? In a world with such a high divorce rate, how doRichard and Victoria hope to avoid all the problems that beset so many other
couples? Richard explains thoughtfully that "our ambition is to always talk to each other If you stop communicating, what chance do you have?" His wife goes along with that completely "I hope that we can speak about things, but also not expect everything to be easy I think many people expect the wedding to be the end of getting to know each other I think it's the start."

Early morning in California, and Elizabeth Safran, a public relations consultant, is dealing with a huge number of e-mails Everybody in the small company works fromhome and relies on e-mails and instant messaging to stay in touch Elizabeth
worries about her work-life balance and thinks that ‘technology makes us more productive, but everyone is working all the time – weekends, evenings It is too much.’
Five o’clock Friday afternoon in the , Paul Renucci, managing director of a systems integration company, switches off his computer He now works at home and is off topick up his children In the past, it would take him two hours to get home from the office
Ms Safran and Mr Renucci represent different side of a modern problem: the
capacities of the latest communications technologies, such as e-mails, texts,
messaging and video conferencing, make it difficult to draw the line between work and leisure and raise important questions about the nature of ‘flexible working’- where employees can work where and when they choose
There are three issues here First, does the rise of portable, networked devices such
as the Blackberry and Palm Treo really damage an individual’s work and life?
Second, what is the effect of these devices on traditional workplace relationships? And third, how do individuals manage them?
A Microsoft survey found that where flexibility had increased, so had productivity and employee morale, together with lowered stress levels and staff turnover

to build sustainability criteria into the supply chain of any green fuel project in order
to ensure that there is no adverse effect on the surrounding environment and socialstructures The report produced by the investors expresses concern that many companies may not be fully aware of the potential pitfalls in the biofuel
sector.Production of corn and soya beans has increased dramatically in the last years as an eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels but environmental and human rights campaigners are worried that this will lead to destruction of rain forests Foodprices could also go up as there is increased competition for crops as both
foodstuffs and sources of fuel Last week, the UN warned that biofuels could have
Trang 11dangerous side effects and said that steps need to be taken to make sure that land converted to grow biofuels does not damage the environment or cause civil unrest There is already great concern about palm oil, which is used in many foods in
addition to being an important biofuel, as rain forests are being cleared in some countries and people driven from their homes to create palm oil plantations.An analyst and author of the investors' report says that biofuels are not a cure for climate change but they can play their part as long as governments and companies manage the social and environmental impacts thoroughly There should also be greater measure taken to increase efficiency and to reduce demand

Some scientists have predicted that healthy adults and children may one day take drugs to improve their intelligence and intellectual performance A research group has suggested that such drugs might become as common as coffee or tea within the next couple of decades
To counter this, students taking exams might have to take drugs tests like athletes There are already drugs that are known to improve mental performance, like Ritalin,which is given to children with problems concentrating A drug given to people withtrouble sleeping also helps people remember numbers

According to the passage, ethnic conflicts…
Hatred is a fundamental human emotion that has deep root in society and
culture Psychologists believe that group identity and cohesion depend to a large extent on having a common enemy It seems that the existence of "bad guys" is an important element in defining who we are within a large realm It could be said that human beings love to hate The first signs appear early in life when a child, faced with blame for some mistakes, immediately accuses anotherchild or an inanimate object such as a teddy bear Later, on the schoolyard playground, children in rival groups vie for attention and influence These basic responses translate into more powerful emotions later in life One area where deep-rooted hatred is exhibited is in the ethnic clashes that constantly occur around the globe These conflicts are not only over territory but also involve emotional issues of group identity and unity of purpose For many, there is no
"us" without a "them" to hate In a world where conflict between super powers is
on the decline, it may be that humanity will have difficulty adapting to a state ofmutual respect and cooperation
