2 Where do you eat your meals at home?

Don't spend lots of money on 1 top quality

cooking; just make sure you like the place

where you have it. A new report says that the

enjoyment of a meal doesn't depend on what

you eat, but where you eat it.

Researchers prepared the same meal in ten.

different 2locations and asked the people

eating it to give it marks out of ten for the

taste, 3 texture and 4 appearance of the food.

When they served 'chicken El la king' in a

residential home for the elderly, it got

5low marks. However, when they served it

to customers in a four-star restaurant, the

reaction was very different. The customers

said it tasted delicious.

'The results show that in many cases the

location is actually much more important

than the food,' said Professor John Edwards

of Bournemouth University. Edwards and his

team took great care to make sure that all

the meals would be as similar as possible.

They used exactly the same kind of chicken,

they stored the dishes in the same kind of

plastic bags and served them all with the

same type of rice. The meal got the highest

marks in every category - taste, texture,

appearance - at the restaurant. Interestingly,

bottom marks went to the 6 dish when they

served it in an army training camp, As one of

the soldiers said, 'It tastes awful and smells

disgustingl'

Looking at .., EnglandThere are ideas about England and the English which are

just not true. England does not stop for afternoon tea everyday, although the English do drink a lot of the liquid (hot,with milk) and although the weather is very changeable, itdoesn't rain all the time!

Also, there's lots of good food in England. No, really!In the major cities you'll be spoilt for choice, with thecuisine of almost every nationality on offer. Indian food is a

particular favourite of the English. To find proper Englishfood, try eating in a traditional pub.

The famous English politeness is everywhere. The

English use 'Please', 'Thank you' and 'Sorry' more thanmost nationalities. For example, if you step on someone's

foot, they'll probably say 'Sorry' to you! If you make acomplaint, it's also usual to begin with 'Sorry' as in: 'I'msorry, but this soup is cold.'

You may think it strange on the London Undergroundthat people don't talk to each other, even when crowdedtogether in the rush hour. Silence is usual as peopletheir books or newspapers. That doesn't mean

people are unfriendly. It just means you might haveto know them first!

2 Read the text again. Mark the statements true(T) or false (F).

1 The English don't like their tea to be hot.

2 You get a lot of different types of weather inEngland.

3 Indian food is very popular in England.

complaint.

prison in South Africa. Gardening helped1-1andela to increase his self-esteem.

'l\ly garden was my way of escaping whatsurrounded usoI looked at all the empty

space we had on the roof and how it got sunthe whole dav.¡

I decided I'd like to start a garden and after

years of asking, I received permission2. 1asked for sixteen large oil drums and askedthe staff to cut them in half for me. They

then filled each half with soil, and created

thirty-t:wo giant flowerpots.A garden was one of the few things in prisonthat I could control. It gave me the simplebut important satisfaction of planting a seed,watching it grow, watering it and thenharvesting it. It was a small taste of freedom.In some ways, I saw the garden as being likemy life. A leader must also look after hisgarden; he too, plants seeds and thenwatches, cultivates3, and harvests the result.'

Charlotte was born on 21st February 1986, in Cardiff, South

Wales. In the early years, she had a normallife but she was c1early

a talented singer. At the age of eleven, she appeared on, and won,

a talent show on N. She got a recording contract with Sony and

her first album, Voice of an Angel, was an instant success. It came

out in November 1998 and sold 600,000 copies. She sang all over

the world in concerts for Bill Clinton, the Queen and even the Pope.

She was just thirteen and life was good - extremely good.Her second album, in 1999, was also an instant success, but

there were problems. People said her parents were pushing her

too hard. She argued with her manager and paid him t:2 million

to go. People said that it was the end of Charlotte's career. Butshe then employed her mother, Maria, as her manager and more

album successes came in 2000 and 2001. Charlotte then decided

to leave school and concentrate on her career. People said it was

abad decision, but with the help of a personal tutor, she Dassed all

her exams with 'f\ grades. Everything seemed

for the young star.

When shewas sixteen things started to go wrong

again. The media attention was very difficult for

her and her family. She had arguments with

her mother about her boyfriend. She sacked

her mother as manager and went to live with

her boyfriend. The newspapers said she went

clubbing every night. Everyone said that it wasthe end of Charlotte's career. But again, this

intelligent and talented young woman remained

calm. She looks back at her experience with

amazing maturity. 'At times, I've behaved badly,'

she says 'but I haven't done anything terrible,

just normal teenage stuff, except that for me it'sall in the news. It can be difficult but it's part of

being famous. Yes-I've had arguments with my

mother - but what teenager hasn't? We're very

c10seand she's always been very supportive of

me.' So, it seems that for this Charlotte things

have worked out fine. She's rich and happy and

still loves making music. People in the music

industry say she can do anything she wants ...

and she probably will.

Jeanne Calment wasborn in 1875

She was born in ArIes and became a ce1ebrity inher horne town. Journa1ists asked her about the

secrets of her long life. She to1d them she usedto eat chocolate, put olive oi1 on her skin, smoketwo cigarettes a day and drink red wine. Butthe truth, her doctor said, is that she never feltstressed. She once said, 'If you can't do anything

about it, why worry about it?' She .a1sohadagood sense of humour. When one visitor saidto her, 'Maybe see you next year,' she replied, '1don't see why noto You don't 100k so bad to me.'

She used to ride a bike (she stopped when she

was 100), and her mind was strong even after herbody grew old. She said, '1 never get bored.'

The best true Calrnent story was about herhouse. When she was 90, her 1awyer bought the

house. He paid her on1y $400 a month, a verysmall amount of money. His plan was to get thehouse when Jeanne Calment died. But he died
