Because writing has become so important in our culture, we sometimes think of it as more real than speech

A little thought, however, will show why speech is primary and writing secondary to language Human

7

Trang 8

beings have been writing ( as far as we can tell from surviving evidence ) for at least 5,000 years, but theyhave been talking for much longer, doubtless ever since there have been human beings.

When writing did develop, it was derived from and represented speech, although imperfectly Eventoday there are spoken languages that have no written form Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before welearn to write: any human child who is not severely handicapped physically or mentally will learn to talk; anormal human being can not be prevented from doing so On the other hand, it takes a special effort to learn

to write: in the past many intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and even todaymany who speak languages with writing systems never learn to read or write, while some who learn therudiments of those skills do so only imperfectly

To affirm the primacy of speech over writing is not, however, to say that the latter is of little importance.One advantage writing has over speech is that it is more permanent and make possible the records that anycivilization must have Thus, if speaking makes us human writing makes us civilized

Questions :

1 What is more real than speech ?

2 How long have human beings had speech ?

3 Do all spoken languages in the world have their written forms ?

4 Can a normal human being learn to write without trying ?

One year Miss Wyatt decided to have a holiday in Italy She did not speak much Italian, but wherever shewent, she was fortune enough to find people who knew enough English to be able to understand what shewanted, until one day she decided to have lunch in a charming little restaurant in a village in the south ofItaly

She had seen some nice mushrooms in the market of another village nearby and thought they would tastevery good, so when the waiter came to take her order, she inquired whether she could have some mushroomsfor her meal, but she had great difficulty in explaining to him because she did not know the Italian word formushrooms At last she took out a pencil and drew a picture of a mushroom The waiter’s face brightened atonce, and he hastened out to the kitchen A minute later he returned, carrying an umbrella

Questions :

1 Why did Miss Wyatt’s poor knowledge of Italian not interfere with her enjoyment of her holiday most ofthe time ?

2 Where did she have trouble in making herself understood ?

3 Why did she think she would like some mushrooms ?

4 How did she try to show the waiter what she wanted ?

Louis Braille was born in France in 1809 His father had a small business He made shoes and other thingsfrom leather Louis liked to help his father in the store even when he was very small One day when Louiswas three years old, he was cutting some leather Suddenly the knife slipped and hit him in the eye Louissoon became completely blind

When he was ten years old, he entered the National Institute for the Blind in Paris One day his classwent to visit a special exhibit by a captain in the army One thing in the exhibit was very interesting forLouis It showed messages in code Armies send messages in secret codes so no one else can read them Thecaptain wrote this code in raised letters on very thick paper

Louis thought a lot about this code Then he decided to write in the same way so blind people could “read”with their fingers It is very difficult to feel the differences between raised letters Instead of letters, Louisused a “cell” of six dots He arranged the dots with two dots across and three down

There are 63 possible arrangements of the dots in the Braille system Each arrangement stands for oneletter, punctuation mark, or number He also used his system to write music Louis Braille invented thissystem when he was only fifteen years old

Blind people can also write Braille They use a special kind of pen to make the dots

Questions :

1 What was Louis Braille’s place of birth?

2 How did he become blind?

3 What gave him the idea for the Braille system?

4 How old was he when he invented the Braille system?

5 Are there raised letters in the Braille system?

THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT

Scientists say that something very serious is happening to the Earth It will begin to get warmer in the1990s There will be major changes in climate during the next century Coastal waters will have a highertemperature This will have a serious effect on agriculture In northern areas, the growing season will be tendays longer by the year 2000 However, in warmer areas, it will be too dry The amount of water coulddecrease by fifty percent This would cause a large decrease in agricultural production

World temperatures could increase two degrees centigrade by the year 2040 However, the increase could

be three times as great in the Arctic and Antarctic regions This would cause the ice sheets to melt and raisethe level of the oceans by one or two metres Many coastal cities would be under water

Why is this happening ? There is too much carbon dioxide (CO2 ) in the air When oil, gas, and coal burn,they create large amounts of carbon dioxide We send five billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphereevery year This amount will double in fifty years This carbon dioxide lets sunlights enter the earth’satmosphere and heat the earth However, it does not let as much heat leave the atmosphere and enter space

It is like a blanket The heat can pass from the sun through the blanket to warm the earth The heat staysthere and can not escape through the blanket again

Scientists call this greenhouse effect A greenhouse is a building for growing plants It is made of glass orclear plastic

QUESTIONS

1 What is a greenhouse ?

The controversy surrounding the relationships between and roles of men and women is, perhaps, one of thefeatures of the second half of the twentieth century in Western societies In the United States of America, forexample, both sexes are, more or less aggressively, demanding freedom from the constraints of traditionalattitudes towards the roles of the sexes and marriage The impact of this can be seen in the rising divorcerate, falling birth rate and the increasing number of couples living together without a marriage license

It is perhaps interesting to speculate on the future roles of men and women In developed countries, if theadvent of the silicon chip leads to mass unemployment and a revolutionized attitude towards work andleisure, what will be the effect on, for example, women who at present express their equality with menprimarily through their work; if oil, coal and gas run out and alternative energy sources can not take up theslack in domestic supplies, what effect will this have on the roles of men and women in domestic life ? Indeveloping societies, how will increasing exposure to Western society ( through the media and travel ) andimproved technology affect the role of women ? One can obviously guess at the answers, but what do youthink or hope will happen ?

Questions :

1 What is one of the features of the 20 th century in the Western societies ?

2 Are American men and women still happy with their traditional role in the family ?

3 How can women express their equality with men ?

The British population is already one of the oldest in Europe, and it is slowly getting older In 1990 themedian age in Britain was thirty-six but it will rise to forty-one by 2020 At the end of the 1990s the number

of pensioners will begin to rise rapidly, and the workforce will shrink One result will be that by 2020 therewill be twice as many people aged eighty-five or over as in 1990 A disproportionate number of the old,incidentally, choose to retire to the south coast and East Anglia, creating regional imbalances

Questions :

1 What is an extended family ?

During the teenage years, many people can at times be difficult to talk to They often seem to dislike beingquestioned They may seem unwilling to talk about their work in school This is a normal development atthis age, though it can be very hard for parents to understand It is part of becoming independent ofteenagers trying to be adult while they are still growing up Young people are usually more willing to talk ifthey believe that questions are asked out of real interest and not because people are trying to check up onthem

Parents should do their best to talk to their sons or daughters about schoolwork and future plans butshould not push them to talk if they don’t want to Parents should also watch for the danger signs: someyoung people in trying to be adult may experiment with sex, drugs, alcohol or smoking Parents need towatch for any signs of unusual behaviour which may be connected with these and get help if necessary

QUESTIONS :

1 Why do adults sometimes find teenagers difficult to talk to ?

2 When can you expect young people to be more talkative than usual ?

3 Why may some teenagers experiment with drinking and smoking ?

4 What should parents do if they notice any signs of their children’s unusual behaviour?

I knew it was going to be a bad day when, on the way to the airport the taxi-driver told me he was lost

me I'd better check in my luggage quickly or I'd miss my flight

I was the last person to get on the plane

I found my seat and discovered that I was sitting next to a four-year-old boy who had a cold I sat downand wondered if anything else could go wrong

I hate flying, especially take-off, but the plane took off and everything seemed to be all right Then, a fewminutes later, there was a funny noise and everything started to shake

I looked out of the window and- oh my God- there was smoke coming out of the wing All I could thinkwas 'The engine is on fire We are going to crash, I am too young to die'

Almost immediately, the captain spoke to un in a very calm voice "Ladies and gentlemen This is yourcaptain speaking We are having a slight technical problem with one of our engines There is no need topanic We will have to return to the airport Please remain seated and keep your seat belts fastened."

A few minutes later, we were coming in to land The pilot made a perfect landing on the runway It wasover We were safe That day, I decided not to fly again I caught another taxi and went home But as Iclosed the front door, I looked down at my case Somehow I had picked up the wrong suitcase

The human race is spread all over the world, from the polar regions to the tropics The people of which it ismade up eat different kinds of food, partly according to the kind of food which their countries produced.Thus, in India, people live chiefly on different kinds of grain, eggs, milk, or sometimes fish and meat

In Europe, people eat more flesh and less grain In the Arctic regions ,where no grain and fruits areproduced, the Eskimo and other races live almost entirely on flesh , especially fat The man of one race is

able to eat the food of another race, if they are brought into the country inhabited by the latter But as a rule,

they still prefer their own food, at least for a time In warm climates flesh and fat are not much needed, but

in the Arctic regions they seem to be very necessary for keeping up the heat of the body

Questions:

1 What kind of food do they eat in Europe?

2 Why are flesh and fat needed in the Arctic regions?

3 What does the word “latter” refer to?
