Then, he and his wife flew to New Zealand so that David could practice for a few weeks there. But, only days after they arrived, the weather improved so David decided to start his swim. He did it with the help of a team. ‘They were great’, David said. ‘They were in a boat next to me all the time! After a few hours, I thought about stopping but I didn’t and went on swimming’.

We’re Living Faster, But Are We Living Better?
Not long ago people believed that in the future we would work less, have more free time, and be more relaxed But sadly this has not happened Today we work harder, work longer hours, and are more stressed than ten years ago We walk faster, talk faster, and sleep less than previous
generations And although we are obsessed with machines which save us time, we have less free time than our parents and grandparents had But what is this doing to our health? An American journalist James Gleick in a
new book, Faster: the acceleration of just about everything, says that people
who live in cities are suffering from ‘hurry sickness’ – we are always trying
to do more things in less time As a result, our lives are more stressful He says that if we don’t slow down, we won’t live as long as our parents For most people, faster doesn’t mean better.
1 No time for the news
Newspaper articles today are shorter and the headlines are bigger Most people don’t have enough time to read the articles, they only read the
headlines! On TV and the radio, newsreaders speak more quickly than ten years ago.
2 No time for stories
In the USA there is a book called One-Minute Bedtime Stories for children
These are shorter versions of traditional stories, specially written for ‘busy parents’ who want to save time!
3 No time to listen
Some answerphones now have ‘quick playback’ buttons so that we can play people’s messages faster – we can’t waste time listening to people speaking at normal speed.
re-4 No time to relax
Even when we relax we do everything more quickly Ten years ago when people went to art galleries they spent ten seconds looking at each picture Today they spend just three seconds!
5 No time for slow sports
In the USA the national sport, baseball, is not as popular as before it is a slow game and matches take a long time Nowadays many people prefer faster and more dynamic sports like basketball
6 but more time in our cars
Trang 2The only thing that is slower than before is the way we drive Our cars are faster but the traffic is worse so we drive more slowly We spend more time sitting in our cars, feeling stressed because we are worried that we won’t arrive on time Experts predict that in ten years’ time the average speed on the road in cities will be 17 km/h.
1 The writer wrote the article to encourage us to work more and relax less.
2 People today are having a less stressful life than they did in the past.
3 People are too busy to read newspapers.
4 Slow sports have become unpopular.

Color Matters for What You Wear
Clothes are like a second skin Most likely you feel good when you wear your favorite color What happens when someone sees you wearing any color - for example blue? Does the color send a message?
What do you think about pink and blue for children?
One of the most common examples of color symbolism in clothing is the custom of using pink for girls and blue for boys, but it wasn't always this way This tradition emerged at the turn of the 20th century Since pink was thought to be a stronger color, it was best suited for boys; blue was more delicate and dainty and best for girls In 1921, the Women's Institute for Domestic Science in Pennsylvania endorsed pink for boys, blue for girls Even more interesting is the fact that pink is the color for baby boys and blue is the color for baby girls in Belgium today.
Another interesting fact about pink is that pink is a very masculine color in Bermuda Also, British bankers and barristers have worn pink shirts for decades Pink goes in and out of fashion in other parts of the world White
is the traditional color for a bride's wedding gown in the U.S and most European cultures White symbolizes purity and innocence.
What about the color worn for weddings and funerals?
In Asia, white is the color of death This arises from the belief that death is seen as a beginning and that white represents the purity that the deceased brings into the next life Therefore, brides in Japan and China wear red in traditional wedding ceremonies.
White is also associated with death in India, where widows wear white Consequently, red or pink saris are the most popular colors for brides What about black clothes?
Black symbolizes death and is the traditional color of mourning in Western cultures Black clothing is associated with powerful forces in many parts of the world Bad and good Witches, the devil, ninjas, cat burglars, Darth Vader, Cat Woman, and Batman wear black and so do priests, nuns, judges, mimes, Mennonites, Bedouins, and monks.
Maybe the common thread is that these people are signaling their
seriousness of purpose - or the need to be hard to see - or both.
Here's something else to think about: What happens when the same people wear green? Are they as powerful? Are the priest and nun as respectable?

Text 1 Bad manners at work
Etiquette is the name we give to the rules for being polite in a social group Business etiquette is important for people who often have to make new contacts and build relationships in their work Politeness can also help to improve the working environment for people in the same office Some cultures and situations are formal, which means that we have to follow rules; other cultures and situations are more informal.

of three workers regularly arrive late for meetings, most ignore emails and three out of four use bad language In a survey of 1,000 workers, two-thirds say that pressure of work is the reason for bad manners.
Other common examples of bad office etiquette include ignoring colleagues and answering mobile phone calls during meetings Using mobile phones in meetings is impolite and distracts others, research by the University of Surrey shows If you respond to call when speaking to somebody, it means that the phone call is more important than the person, the survey said If you answer a call during a meeting, it could mean that the meeting is not important.
Mr Jacobs, managing director of Office Angels, a recruitment firm say it is easy for people to forget their manners in the working environment, which
is often very informal and very busy Workers can forget proper etiquette such as introducing people at meetings, and this is often bad for working relationships.
Psychologist Dr Colin Gill believes that people are not as polite as they were twenty years ago He said: ‘Courtesy is no longer something that is so much respected in our society.’ People think it is ‘stuffy to be polite or formal.’ Now some organisations are actually investing money in training their junior managers to be polite Office Angels is encouraging people to arrive

Trang 40Chúng ta đang sống nhanh hơn, nhưng chúng ta có sống tốt hơn không?
Cách đây không lâu, người ta tin rằng trong tương lai chúng ta sẽ làm việc
ít hơn, có nhiều thời gian rảnh hơn và thoải mái hơn Nhưng tiếc là điều này đã không xảy ra Ngày nay chúng ta làm việc chăm chỉ hơn, làm việc nhiều giờ hơn và căng thẳng hơn mười năm trước Chúng ta đi nhanh hơn, nói nhanh hơn và ngủ ít hơn các thế hệ trước Và mặc dù chúng ta bị ám ảnh bởi những cỗ máy giúp chúng ta tiết kiệm thời gian, nhưng chúng ta lại
có ít thời gian rảnh rỗi hơn so với cha mẹ và ông bà của chúng ta Nhưng điều này đang làm gì với sức khỏe của chúng ta? Một nhà báo người Mỹ
James Gleick trong một cuốn sách mới, Faster: the Acceleration of just about everything , nói rằng những người sống ở thành phố đang mắc 'chứng
bệnh vội vàng' – chúng ta luôn cố gắng làm được nhiều việc hơn trong thời gian ngắn hơn Kết quả là cuộc sống của chúng ta căng thẳng hơn Anh ấy nói rằng nếu chúng ta không sống chậm lại, chúng ta sẽ không sống lâu như cha mẹ mình Đối với hầu hết mọi người, nhanh hơn không có nghĩa là tốt hơn.
1 Không có thời gian cho tin tức
Các bài báo ngày nay ngắn hơn và các tiêu đề lớn hơn Hầu hết mọi người không có đủ thời gian để đọc các bài báo, họ chỉ đọc các tiêu đề! Trên TV
và đài phát thanh, những người đọc tin tức nói nhanh hơn mười năm trước.
2 Không có thời gian cho những câu chuyện
Ở Mỹ có một cuốn sách tên là Chuyện kể một phút trước khi đi ngủ dành cho
trẻ em Đây là những phiên bản ngắn hơn của những câu chuyện truyền thống, được viết đặc biệt cho những 'cha mẹ bận rộn' muốn tiết kiệm thời gian!
3 Không có thời gian để lắng nghe
Một số điện thoại trả lời hiện có nút 'phát lại nhanh' để chúng tôi có thể phát lại tin nhắn của mọi người nhanh hơn – chúng tôi không thể lãng phí thời gian để nghe mọi người nói ở tốc độ bình thường.
4 Không có thời gian để thư giãn
Ngay cả khi chúng ta thư giãn, chúng ta làm mọi thứ nhanh hơn Mười năm trước, khi mọi người đến phòng trưng bày nghệ thuật, họ dành mười giây
để xem mỗi bức tranh Hôm nay họ chỉ dành ba giây!
5 Không có thời gian cho các môn thể thao chậm
