Unit5

You see that young man swimming out at sea? He’s trying to swim out to the beacon and back. He must be insane to have committed himself to such a thing. The current is far too strong. To be candid, I wouldn’t attempt it .I dare say few swimmers are capable of such a feat. I met him on the beach before he set out . I don’t mind telling you that I was take aback when he told me what he was going to do, because he didn’t look in good condition at all. Far from it. He may have had a good constitution once, but he had clearly let himself go all to pieces. However, it seems like he had no choice. He told me that he had gone broke,not a penny left, and that old Burton would only find him a vacancy in his firm if he did the swim. That was another surprise. Burton seems such a mild-mannered man, kind to everybody. Perhaps he thought the young man would not have the courage, that he would funk it. That ,again,perhaps Burton know he was sending the young man to his death, but was too cold-blooded to care. It only goes to show how deceptive appearances can be.

Unit 6

Can you switch off from the cares of life and relax? Many people today cannot . They feel instead that they are obliged to be on the go all the time. The pace of life seems to grow ever faster. As a result, feelings of stress are common as people struggle to cope with what they see as a shortage of time. Such widespread feeling are in part caused by the large quantity of information that comes pouring in on us.”all men,”said Aristotle,”by nature desire to know. ” but it is no longer possible, as it was in the past, for an individual to master the whole range of human knowledge. Instead, any individual, no matter how smart he is, can only command a fraction of the total

knowledge available,It may be argued that it is futile to even attempt to do so. We should learn to set more realistic goals for ourselves if we are to hope to escape from the tyranny of time.

Unit 7

Corky Siemaszko’s snapshots provide us with an insight into the mood of the American people following the tragic events of 9/11. They start with two pieces written in the immediate aftermath of the attack. These clearly reveal the state of chaos into which New Yorkers felt they had been plunged by the toppling of the twin towers. Balancing widespread feeling of shock came the welling up of a strong sense of solidarity with each other in the face of a common enemy. Together with this came a natural desire to take revenge on those responsible. A year later the snapshots reveal a city and a nation thinking back on the fateful events of 9/11 while mourning those who perished in the attacks.

Unit 8

If you are dying to find out what it is like in the heart of the tropical jungle, you should make a trip on the river. This is better than walking through the trials in the forest, as these are often blocked by undergrowth that gets tangled in your feet and makes traveling difficult. In a dugout canoe, you can sit back and enjoy the scenery while the guide paddles it along the rivers that loop their way through the forest. Everywhere you go, you can hear the clatter of birds, hidden out of sight, deep in the jungle. At other times, they are clearly visible,circling in flocks overhead. And you can also see some of them hopping about in the clearings and others glide on the opaque waters. But birds are not the only wildlife. From time to time, you can spot enormous black fish thrashing about in shallow water. Or if you look closely enough, you can see some small animals darting in and out of the bushes. Indeed, the whole jungle swarms with a huge variety of animal life, guaranteed to make your trip a spectacular event that you will never forget.
