Unit 1 : A new start
1) Read the text

Hi everyone
Well, the first week has nearly passed, with no real problems to tell you about so far. It hasn't
been easy though. So many things are different from what I'm used to. There's the language, for one
thing. As you know, I've been studying English for many years, but this is like being a beginner all
over again. It seems as everyone is speaking a different language from the one I studied at school!
Still I'm beginning to get used to hearing English all around me. Lectures don't start till next week,
so this week has been a time of settling in: finding my way around, meeting people on the same
course, joining clubs and societies and so on. There's actually a Palestine Society (which I joined of
course). They have guest speakers and discussion groups, organize cultural events and even food
evenings, so at least I'll have some connection with home. I've joined two other clubs as well.
1- Answer the following questions:
1. Why was Mahmoud surprised about the language at first?
Because it was different from what he studied at school.
2. When do lectures begin at the university, as Mahmoud mentions?
In the next week.
3. What has Mahmoud been doing so far?
He has been settling in: finding his way around, meeting people on the same course, joining
clubs and so on.
4. What do the Palestine society do?
They have guest speakers and discussion groups, organize cultural events and food evenings.
2- Circle the symbol of the correct answer:
1. The writer of the text is a …
A: fresher B: university professor
2. Settling in means:
A: finding somewhere to live B: becoming familiar with the new situation
3. guest speakers are …
A: people invited to talk about a subject B: people who speak to their guests
3- Write what the following pronouns refer to:

1. It (line 1 ) the first week at university.
2. the one (line 4 ) language
3. They ( line 7) the Palestine society
Stepping outside the comfort zone

2) Read the text
B Your comfort zone is, as the name suggests, the area where you feel comfortable. We all have
one, whether we know or not: it's the set of routines and known abilities that make us feel safe
because we are confident that we can manage and are unlikely to be challenged by anything
unexpected or worrying. Obviously staying inside your comfort zone has many benefits, especially
at times when you are feeling under stress.

A On the other hand, we are often told in "self-help books" that it's a good idea to do things that are
outside our comfort zone. In fact, many studies have shown that an important factor in helping
people feel positive about themselves is the feeling that they are developing and making progress in
their lives. You won't reach your full potential if you only do what you know you are able to do. We
all want to improve ourselves, for example by learning something new, becoming more creative or
getting fit.
C Unfortunately, people often get stuck in their comfort zones and don't feel able to try different
things. There are various possible reasons for this. They may be afraid of failing or unsure how to
begin. Many people think, "This is the way I am and I'll never change", using this as an excuse for
not trying something new. Whatever the reason may be, it's sometimes necessary to force yourself
to do something you'd rather not do. Once you've made the effort, though, the door to new
experiences will be open and you'll probably wonder why you thought it was a problem.

A: Why we should get out of the comfort zone?
B: Your comfort zone: definition and advantages.

unexpected or worrying
3. When do people particularly prefer to stay inside their comfort zone?
When they are under stress
4. When do we feel positive about ourselves?
When we are developing and making progress.
5. What is the benefit of getting out of your comfort zone?
The door will be open to new experiences/ we’ll feel positive about ourselves.

The comfort zone is a physiological state routine; where someone experiences low levels of stress
and doesn't feel at risk or unsafe. We can also call it there is not much chance of any surprise. Like
when you're at the bench performing an everyday experiment –the one you've already done
thousands of times, in the same way, surrounded by these same colleagues. You know how to do it
and how it will end, showing no fear of anything unexpected or worrying. On the other hand,

Unit 2 Under pressure

1) Read the text and do the tasks below:
The results of a new poll show that financial problems have taken over from the environment as the
main concern for young people. The survey asked 12.000 people aged between 14 and 18 what they
were most worried about. The clear winner was "finding a job", while the environment was only the
seventh greatest worry. This compares with similar polls in the last fifteen years, when
environmental worries came first. One of the poll's organizers commented that the results
demonstrated a clear change in attitude. " It's not just that getting a job is the main worry," he said.
"Also included in the top six worries were getting into debt (6th) and passing exams (4th=).
I'm convinced that there's a connection. Because of changes in the job market, there is more and
more pressure on young people nowadays to pass exams and go on to university in the hope of
finding a good job. And rising university fees make it inevitable that many students graduate from
university with huge debts. Other concerns mentioned by large numbers of young people also
tended to be personal rather than social, including worries about relationships (2 nd), health(3rd) and
fitting in with peers(4th=)
1. Nowadays, financial problems are the main concern for young people.
2. The first top worry for young people is finding a job while the environment is the seventh
greatest worry.
3. For most young people, personal concerns are more important than social concerns.
4. The text mentions some personal concerns like health and fitting in with peers.
2- Decide whether each of the followings is TRUE (T) or FALSE (F):

Other concerns mentioned by large numbers of young people also tended to be personal rather than

Annette Coleman, director of the Green Earth organization, said yesterday that she was
disappointed, but not surprised, at the fall in the number of young people concerned about the
environment. 'It's not that the environmental concerns are less urgent than before – quite the
opposite in fact. It's just that after decades of publicity on topics like climate change, so little has
actually changed. A lot of people get the feeling that there's nothing we can do about it, and young
people in particular tend to be impatient. Of course, the other thing is that in times of economic
difficulty people are more likely to focus on worries that are more immediate and have an impact
on their daily lives.

4 passing exams 6 getting into debts 7 the environment
5- Complete the table about young people's concerns:
Financial concerns Personal concerns

‫الوسطي‬
As you settle in the university, you’ll find life is far less organized for you nowadays. Yes, you’ll
have lectures, but you’ll also have many hours with nothing scheduled. Some people grab the chance to
be lazy with both hands, but don’t let yourself get like that. If you want to do well, you have to use
that free time well. In fact, it isn’t really ‘free’ at all. You need lots of it to get all your work done
properly. We’re certainly not saying you should work all the time. If you did, you’d soon burn out.
Besides, a good social life is an essential part of the university experience. The most important thing
is balance really, and to get the balance right you need to do your work efficiently. It’s a good idea to
write weekly and daily ‘to do’ lists, setting your top priorities. Then you won’t suddenly face nasty
surprises such as a 1,000-word essay you have to write by tomorrow morning! Get into regular
working habits. For example, always write out lecture notes quickly, while the lecture is still fresh
in your mind. Don’t write mountains of notes. Instead, note the main points and any references
for further reading. All this reading will probably include journals and materials from the Internet
as well as books. Here, the library becomes very important. You may be given a tour of this (and other
university facilities). If not, give yourself a tour. Find out where the books and journals you’ll need are
kept. Check the computer and photocopy facilities.
1. Why do you have to write down lectures quickly?

Because the lecture is still fresh in your mind , and before forgetting it.
2. What is the alternative for not writing mountains of notes?
note the main points and any references for further reading.
3. What is the further reading that is needed at a university in addition to books?
journals and materials from the Internet as well as books.

a: like that (line 3) being lazy with both hands
b: If you did (line 5) work all the time

Unit: 3 A funny thing happened
1) Read the text and answer the questions below:
We often hear people say" It's a small world, isn't it? It's usually when they've just experienced one
of those strange coincidences that seem to happen in nearly everyone's lives. You know the kind of
thing: you're on holiday in another country and you run into a person you know from home, even
though neither of you knew that the other was going there too.
People often think experiences like this are evidence of something mysterious happening, some kind
of hidden plan outside our knowledge. The scientific explanation is less exciting, and perhaps that's
why some people are reluctant to accept it. Coincidences are events that unexpectedly happen at the
same time for no clear reason, or finding an unexpected connection between seemingly random
things or people. A very common example of the latter is talking to a complete stranger and finding
that you have the same birthday. What are the chances of that happening?
Actually, the chances are better than you might think, and there’s a mathematical way to prove it. It
has been calculated that the number of people you need to have a 50% chance of two of them
sharing a birthday is 23. And when there are 48 people in a room, the probability goes up to 95%.
14
‫الوسطي‬
The other part of the scientific explanation for coincidences is simply that there are so many events
in people’s lives. Just think of the number of people that you have had any kind of connection with
during your life. There are probably over 10,000, and the older you get, the more there will be. If
you are the kind of person who talks to strangers, you will definitely come across coincidences.
Basically, when you think about how complex our lives are, especially nowadays with the Internet,
the only surprising thing is that coincidences don’t happen more often.

One of the most sensational murder cases in the history of Netherlands was the trial of Lucia de
Berk, where the concept of coincidences was introduced as evidence. De Berk worked as a nurse at
three different hospitals in The Hague. On September 4th 2001, De Berk was present when an infant
girl died at the Juliana Children's Hospital. Her co-workers soon expressed concern after noticing a
pattern. De Berk just happened to be on duty during a large number of deaths at the hospital, most
of them involving infants. After an investigation, the hospital concluded that these deaths were
unnatural and decided to press charges against De Berk. On March 24,2003, she was sentenced to
life imprisonment on four counts of murder and three counts of attempt murder although there was
15
‫الوسطي‬
no physical evidence against her. A qualified mathematician was able to help her when he argued
that the possibilities of all these deaths being a coincidence were 1 in 48. A new investigation
concluded that De Berk's alleged murders were likely natural deaths. In April 2010, she received a
not guilty verdict and got her freedom again.

Unit Four - The shrinking world

2) Read the two texts and answer the questions below:
A: As a parent, I'm becoming increasingly worried about the effect communications technology is
having on young people. My fourteen –year- old son seems to spend hours every day texting or
chatting online, or updating hi social media page. He says he's going to do his homework, but an
hour or two later still hasn't started it, and I can't help feeling that he's wasting so much time on this
instead of doing useful things, or even just being with his friends and communicating with real
people. Is all this texting affecting young people's ability to use language properly? Is there a danger
they could become addicted to technology? What potential dangers are out there in the online
world?
B: A recent study in the US found that nearly quarter of teenagers use social media sites at least ten
times a day and 75% own mobile phones. Texting is now the main form of communication for
young people. Inevitably, this has led to panic among parents, teachers and other adults. But are
these fears justified? Not according to Dr Amy Lehane. ' If you look back' she says, ' you find the
same panic reaction from older people to the growth of telephone and television, often it comes
from a fear of something they don't understand, but our research indicates that young people are
quite capable of telling the difference between the online world and the real world. They are also
very aware of the possible negative effects of technology
1. It is the correct thing to do or believe justified
2. A feeling of fear that makes one stop thinking panic
3. Having the necessary ability to do something capable of
2- Decide which of the two writers ( A/ B ) is most likely to have the following opinions:
1. I feel that social media sites are wasting a lot of our children's time. (A / B)
2. In my opinion, parents don’t worry about their children's use of modern technology. (A / B)
3. Modern communications technology is taking our children away from the real world. (A / B)
4. I'm afraid texting could affect young people' ability to use the language properly. (A / B)
5. I think older people are afraid of modern technology because they don't understand it. (A/ B)
6. In my opinion, we should learn to trust young people more. (A /B)
1. it (line 4) doing his homework
2. this (line 4) texting and chatting online

3. it (line 12) panic reaction
4. They (line 14) young people
4- What are the concerns mentioned by the writer of text A?
A The internet world could take children and young people away from real world.
B It could affect their ability to use language properly
C children may waste a lot of their time texting or chatting online
D they could become addicted to the internet.
5- Why does Dr Amy Lehane think that we should trust young people more?
A: They are quite capable of telling the difference between the online world and the real world.
B: They are also very aware of the possible negative effects of technology.

It isn’t hard to explain why parents, teachers and older people in general get so concerned about the
negative effects of young people’s use of communications technology. They may be motivated by a
wish to protect their children from harm or to control them, but throughout history older generations
have always tried to put limits on the behavior of the young. The only difference now is that the
Internet is such a powerful force, and older people generally don’t really understand this new world
of social media and instant communication, so they’re unable to control it. And the situation is
changing so fast that the gap in their knowledge is widening all the time. In a similar way,
governments, even in democratic countries, like to put limits on people’s behavior. After all, it’s a
large part of what governments are about. They may have more technological knowledge than the
average parent, but the spread of social media sites and communications apps like Twitter and
WhatsApp is making it harder and harder for them to control what their citizens are saying and
doing.
1. Why do adults get concerned about young people's use of communication technology?
They may be motivated by a wish to protect their children from harm or to control them
2. What makes older people unable to control young people's use of technology?
Because they don’t understand this new world of social media and instant communication.
2- Decide whether each of the following statements is TRUE or FALSE. If there isn't enough
information to decide, choose doesn't say:
1. The reasons why adults try to control young people are always the same.
TRUE FALSE DOESN'T SAY
2. Older generations have always succeeded in putting limits on the behavior of the young.
3. In future, it is likely to be more difficult for older people to control young people's use of
technology. TRUE FALSE DOESN'T SAY
4. The spread of social media sites enables governments control their citizen's behavior.
3- Find words in the text which have the meanings of the following:
1. caused or encouraged motivated
2. restrictions limits

1. They (line 2) parents , teachers and older people
2. them (line 11) governments

Clearly, this isn't always a positive trend, but what we can say for sure is that new information and
communications technologies are a force for social change and economic development, especially in
poorer countries without a reliable traditional phone network. The World Bank has calculated that in
countries like this, a 10% increase in high-speed Internet connections leads to a 1.3% increase in
economic growth. It is, they say, ‘the single most powerful way to extend economic opportunities
and services to millions of people, especially in remote areas’.
A recent headline on the BBC website asked:' could Ramallah become an Arab World technology
hub. The article went on to show how young Palestinians are starting small technology companies
that could help the Palestinian economy to break free from restrictions placed on it by the Israeli

Marcia says that all of her friends approximately have a cell phone, but Marcia’s mom doesn't want
to buy her one. Marcia's mom doesn't want Marcia to play video games either. What is more, the
Internet worries her. Marcia's mom says, “If Marcia has a cell phone, how do we know whom she is
talking to? Video games are bad for you. The Internet is dangerous and uncontrolled. It’s regarded
as having a gun in the house. We should just ban her from using the computer, and I'm not buying
her a cell phone until she is eighteen. This is the only way we can be sure that Marcia is safe."

By now, everyone knows what a prominent role technology plays in our societies; however, now,
more than ever, kids and pre-teens are beginning to use technology just as much as teenagers and
adults do. Unlike teenagers and adults, though, the younger generation has been raised with this
constant influx of technology around them— they practically do not know life without it. The use
of technology from a very young age helps students' learning process; it makes it possible for each
student to learn at their own pace. Additionally, it allows learning to become more interactive and
easier than it has ever been before. Kids essentially have the world readily available at their
fingertips— if they want to know something, they can look it up on the Internet and in just a few
seconds have an answer. Actually, this isn't always good news. Growing up with technology
continuously around them, there is a very little opportunity for kids to develop their abilities to
create and produce new things. They have a greater chance of becoming dependent and overly used
to relying on it for everything. They will become more technology obsessed in the years to come.
Among other effects, this can have a serious impact on their social skills. If kids and pre-teens
communicate primarily through texting, social media, etc., from a young age, it is all they will
know, and, as they get older, they will not be able to interact with others the same way they would if
they were behind the screen of a device. Most kids today would rather stay inside and watch
television or play video games than go outside to play. If they learn these habits now, it will be
incredibly hard for them to break out of them. This will only lead to future generations becoming
more and more introverted.

Unit five: Making friends

1) Read the two text and do the tasks below:
A: A new study into how the internet is changing the nature of friendship has found that social
networking sites like Facebook and Myspace don't help people make more close friends. Although
people (especially young people) using these sites claim to have thousands of friends, this research
suggests that face-to face contact is usually needed to form genuine relationships.
Many previous studies of friendship have established that the maximum number of people in a
standard friendship group is 150, with about five of these regarded as close friends. This new study
has found that these figures remain roughly the same for online friends.
B: As someone who has made a lot of friends via the internet, I'm tired of hearing that they are not
real friends. The argument seems to be that you can never really know someone unless you've
actually met them. The fact is that meeting someone is no guarantee that they are who they say they
are. I've met lots of people whose real character and intentions turned out to be different from those
first presented. In fact, I regard some people I've met online as my closest friends. We actually have
many interests in common which is why we got together in the first place. The things I'm interested
in are perhaps a bit unusual and there's little chance of meeting others with the same interest without
the internet.
1- Replace the underlined parts of sentences with words or phrases from the text:
1. You can get lots of information by going through the internet. via
2. There is no way to be sure that he is telling the truth. guarantee

2- Decide which of the two writers would agree with the following opinions:
1. You should meet people if you want to know their real character. (A / B)
2. People can't make real friends through social networking sites. (A / B)
3. Online friends are not less real than those you have actually met. (A / B)
4. Social media sites help you find people with similar interests. (A / B)
1. According to the text writer, what makes friends get together in the first place?
When they have many interests in common.
2. How can the writer have a better chance of meeting people with the same interests?
via the internet.

2. they ( line 8 ) people you meet via the internet
3. those ( line 11 ) characters and intentions
4. which ( line 13 ) having interests in common

B Everyone has acquaintances- people we know, but who aren't (yet) friends. To take your
friendship further than just discussing the weather, you need to show an interest in their lives. Ask
them questions (but don't get too personal at first). Even more importantly, listen to their answers
and remember the information for the next time you meet.
D When making arrangements, there are two possible ways of behaving that can harm a
friendship. The first is forcing the other person to make all the decisions by saying things like' I
don't mind you, you choose or 'Whatever you want'. The other is being particular or inflexible about
what you want to happen, or where, or when. Try to find a middle way between the two extremes.
C It's understandable that you want to impress a new friend and make them aware of your good
points, but don't go too far. Research shows that most of us tend to like people who don't boast
about achievements or take themselves too seriously.
A If someone tells you something 'in confidence', it means just that – they are confident that you
won't tell anyone else. In other words, they trust you. If you then pass on this information to another
person, that trust is broken. Even if your friend doesn’t find out what you have done, this kind of
behavior can easily destroy a friendship overtime.
1- Match the titles with the paragraphs above:
A: Keep secrets to yourself B: Be interested
C: Don't try too hard D: Be clear, but not demanding
2- Get words or phrase from the text that have the meaning of the following:

Show interest in his /her life: ask questions, listen to answers ,and remember the information
for the next time you meet.
C: ' My friend tells me everything about his life. It seems he trusts me a lot'.
Don’t break this trust and keep secrets for yourself.
D: 'Should I tell people about my expensive car and big house'?
You can tell them, but don’t boast.
3) Read the text and answer the questions below:(External)
Technology has come to the point that online friendships and even relationships can be possible.
With all the social media websites like Facebook and Skype and My space etc, it is very possible for
these friendships to work out. Obviously, there are some pros and cons to having internet friends.
The worst thing about friendships is most likely the fact that there is a small possibility that they
will meet each other, especially if they live in different countries. Perhaps more painful than this is
the fact that they wouldn't be friends any more by the time they are able to meet. However, there are
many good things about having internet friends. The best thing about online friends is that when you
don't have anybody to comfort you or care about you. They will try their hardest to make you feel
better. Also, they can joke around with each other and say cute things to get fun and interest. In my
opinion, online friends can be actual friends, they can tell each other anything. They can be
extremely close and if they ever meet, they will feel that they have known each other all their lives.

1. The writer believes that online friends will never be real friends. ( F )
2. Some friendships can be stopped by the time these friends meet. ( T )
1. The text mentions some social media sites like face book and My space

The writer thinks that online friends can be real friends and extremely close.
a. Read the text and do the tasks below: :(External)

Friendship is a valuable gift, but good friends are often hard to find. Acquiring friends is an
overwhelming task. But with a little effort you can easily make friends.
A This is a great way to find other people who have common interests. You don't necessarily
need to have a lot of common interests with people in order to make friends with them. This
doesn't of course mean friends don't have interests in common at all.
C Keep the 30% talking/70% listening, ratio in mind during small talk when possible. Keep in
mind that this is only a general rule, and it can change from situation to situation as needed. People
enjoy talking about themselves. So, listening more than you talk will make you seem like a
desirable friend.

B You've probably heard of fair-weather friends. They're the ones who are happy to be around

While you can't substitute face-to-face interaction with your friends for likes and comments on a site
like Facebook, our online pals can be very beneficial to our emotional well-being. Online pals can
be a source of feedback and support in a different way than your real-life friends can.
C Online friends can be a wealth of support during the rough times in life. Your online friends
are probably there to cheer you on when you have just lost your job or are dealing with a health
concern, for example. What's more, if you have some unique concerns, online friends from a
specialized group can provide empathy from their own first-hand knowledge of what you're going
through. Sometimes our offline friends can tell us they are sorry we are dealing with a certain
problem (divorce, loss of job), but they don't know what we are feeling personally.
A One recent study said that 57% of teens have met new friends online through things like
social media and playing online games. Most of these friendships stayed online, and they could very
well have helped the teens build confidence to interact more fully with people in real life. However,
In-person friendships are still superior when it comes to our overall emotional and physical health.
For example, while your online friends can send an email when you're sick, an offline friend can
look you in the eye, tell you that it's going to be okay, and give you a hug. These are irreplaceable
when it comes to healing and moving forward
B When you're up in the middle of the night worrying about bills or your teenager, you might be
tempted to call your best friend up for a chat, but do that once too often and you'll put a strain on
your relationship. That's where online friends come in. You can reach out to them anytime of the
day or night, even when they aren't immediately available. Just being able to pour your heart out in
an email or send them an instant message will give you the emotional boost you need. .

In a speech yesterday, the Education Minister advised students to avoid arts subjects and choose
science or maths if they want to improve their job prospects. In the past, he said, arts subjects like
languages and history were chosen by students who didn't have a clear idea of what they wanted to
do in the future. He explained that this was because of feeling that they involved skills that were
useful for many different jobs, but he questioned whether this was still true: 'Nowadays, we know
differently. The best subjects for keeping your options open are ones like science, technology and
engineering.
It quickly became clear that the minister's words were controversial, with teachers and university
heads reacting strongly to his advice. ' Of course, science and technology are important,' said one,
'but it would be completely wrong to neglect the arts. They provide important skills and an
understanding of the world and people in general. Also, the economy depends as much on creativity
as on technical knowledge'.

final product by exporting it to the internet cloud." There are still problems, though. The main one is
the lack of 3G networks in Palestine because access to the necessary wavebands is not available yet.
Mustafa was always good at art and languages, and when he finished school, everyone advised him
43

to study English at university. Instead, he taught himself how to programme and started making his
own software programmes. His first attempt was a game, which was so popular with his fellow

His big breakthrough came when he attended a 'start-up weekend' in Ramallah. He managed to get a
small amount of financial support which gave him the time to develop more ideas. Perhaps more
importantly, he met other business people, both Palestinians and from other countries and learnt a
lot about the practical side of running a business and how to get his products noticed.
Mustafa is currently working on a programme that makes teaching of chemistry at schools more
fun. He has already had interest from within Palestine and from other countries in the Arab World.
Like a lot of other Palestinian business people, he wants to do something positive to help his
country, but he stresses that his company isn't a humanitarian operation. 'It's a business,' he says
'and the aim is to get good returns on the investment. One way he believes he can help is to pass on
what he's learnt to others even younger than he is. 'I learnt a lot from that start-up weekend. When I
go to the next one, I hope I'll learn more, but I'll also be able to advise others.

Unit Nine Only a game

Are today's young stars sports overpaid? It's an opinion you'll often hear repeated, especially in the
world of football. The figures are astonishing and the situation makes some people very angry. But
those who are infuriated by it often forget what players have to do to get to the top, and the risks
involved. Anew book by Wayne Barton tells the story of some of those who fell on the way up.
There are many young men who achieved the dream of playing for the famous club Manchester
United, but only had short careers, often because of injuries. Take the story of Giuliano Maiorana.
At the age of 19, he was playing for an amateur team in Cambridge shire, England when he was
noticed by one of Manchester United's many scouts, who was searching for the lower levels of
football for promising young players. At first, Giuliano thought the offer for a trial world-famous
Manchester club was a joke. It wasn't – only months later, he played his first match at United's
home ground, Old Trafford. He still remembers the mixture of excitement and fear he felt.
Unfortunately, he didn't get on well with his manager and was soon playing in the reserve team. It
was in a reserve match two years later that his knee was badly damaged. Soon, at the age of 24 his
career was finished. For seven years after that, he couldn't even watch football. He now works for
his family's business back in Cambridge, moving furniture, and says that he now wishes he hadn't
been so good at football when he was young.
1- Decide whether each of the following is TRUE or FALE:
1. Most young players stopped playing for Manchester club because they got low salaries. ( F )
2. Giuliano was 19 when he was chosen to play for the famous club of Manchester United. ( T )

There are limits on how many sports can be included in the Olympic Games. In the 2012 Summer
Games, there were 26, and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) have added two more for
2016 (golf and rugby events). There are various criteria that the IOC bases its decisions on, but the
most important is probably international popularity. Sports tend to get included if they have a
tradition and are played and watched by enough people in enough countries.
This leads to some interesting questions. Why, for example was baseball included from 1984, but
then dropped for 2012? Although some think it is only popular in the USA, it actually has a large
following in South America and Asia too. The main reason for leaving it out, according to some, is
a combination of geography and politics: there is little interest in the sport in Europe, and European
members are in a majority on the IOC.

International popularity: Sports tend to get included if they have a tradition and are played and

2. According to the text, what was baseball dropped for the 2012 games?
For political and geographical reasons: there is little interest in this sport in Europe, and
European members are in a majority on the IOC.
Of the other sports not (yet) included, one that stands out is squash. It has a long tradition and is
played all over the world. It is also more obviously a real sport than some other Olympic 'sports'. In
fact, it's more mysteriously why certain sports are included. Take speed walking, for example, a
long-standing Olympic regular. The rules say that the athletes have to have both feet in contact with
the ground at all times and must keep their legs straight. The result, to me at least, looks very silly.
More importantly, it breaks one of my two personal rules for judging serious sports because it puts
artificial limits on what can be done. This is why I can't take any sport seriously if it involves doing
something in water that is more naturally done out of water.
My other rule is that the scoring has to be objective and measurable, not a matter of opinion. And of
course, both of these criteria would rule out everyone's favorite example of an Olympic non-sport:
synchronized swimming.

The question of how much of our character is due to biology and how much is shaped by experience
(often called the 'nature or nurture' argument), has been going on for centuries. It's a vital question
that has implications for many different fields, from psychology to politics. If someone was born
selfish, for example, how can we criticize them for their selfishness? If, on the other hand, our
character depends on how we are brought up, childcare and education become much more
important. Although, the evidence is complex and there are extreme views on both sides, there is a
consensus among experts that the definition of an individual is a combination of genetics and
upbringing. To put it simply, just because you're born a certain way doesn't mean you can't change.

Like people, products have identities, and they are called brands. When Shakespeare claimed that a
rose would smell the same no matter what it was, he got it half-right. In one way, names aren't
54
‫الوسطي‬
important, but in the world of commerce and advertising, a product's name is part of its identity or
its brand and that can mean the difference between huge success and disastrous failure.
So, if you are in manufacturing or marketing, your aim is to build up a brand with a good public
image. Remember, by the way, that what your product actually is can be less important than what
consumers believes it is; in other words, it's people's perceptions that really matter. But once you've
achieved your goal, the job isn't done. What you now need to do is protect your brand, at all costs.
There are various ways a brand can be harmed, or even destroyed. One is to introduce new products
under the same overall name that are cheaper. The result is often to cheapen the original brand in the
public's eye, so that it loses its luxury appeal. Another way of cheapening a brand is by overusing
special offers like 10% off this week' or ' buy one, get one free'. Marketing strategies like this may
bring good results in the short term, but short-term thinking, more often than not, leads to the death
of a brand.

A company's marketing efforts have a direct impact on sales and market share, but they are not the
only factors in the world of commerce and advertising that influence industry performance. A

includes the consumer's complete experience with both the product and the company, making it a

Unit 11 Different places, different way
Almost everything in New York was different. We were used to living in an area where everyone
knew everyone else's business, but here no one seemed to take any notice even of their neighbors.
Instead of having a common culture, the people around us dressed in different styles, ate different
kinds of food, even spoke different languages. It was a complete puzzle to me know they could be
so various yet still call themselves Americans.
I was born in 1942, so I must have been about six or seven when the 1948 catastrophe (Nakba)
happened. As a result, thousands of Palestinian families, including mine, were forced to leave
Palestine. We spent a short time in Jordan before we children were taken to America by our aunt
and uncle. Being so young, I saw our new life mostly as an adventure, even though I missed my
friends and our old home. My parents had important work to do, but they had promised to join us as

My uncle had his job at the newspaper and was quite fluent in English, so he managed fairly well.
My aunt, though, never got used to life in America. I now realize that this was mostly a choice she
made herself. She refused to learn English, so she found herself stuck in the house most of the time,
only going out to buy 'food like we had at home', for which she would walk miles rather than use
the stores in the neighborhood. She also refused to make any changes in the tiny apartment we
rented, apart from spending hours keeping it clean. This meant that it was very hot in the summer
and freezing in winter. I'm sure we could have afforded a fridge, but she wouldn't have one
preferring to keep things cool in the traditional way. At the time, I remember feeling annoyed with

she often told us ' because it won't last. We'll be going home soon.'

I enjoyed reading the article 'clinging to culture' and I'd like to add a few points of my own. It's
often been observed that expatriates are more likely to show the outward signs of their culture than
their fellow countrymen who stay at home. Think of Scotsmen in New Zealand who wear kilts, or
English people in Spain who insists on drinking tea with milk and eating fish and chips, or ' Irish –
Americans who often seem more Irish than the Irish. As Welshman living in South America, I can
understand why this happens. It's not that these people spend their time looking forward to ' going
home': they are usually committed to living in the place they have chosen, they don't, for example,
object to paying local taxes. They just have a need to hold on to what they see as an important part
of their identities.
Language teachers will tell you that learners often find pronunciation the hardest part of a foreign
language, and I'm sure there's a connection. If, say, Italian learners of English start speaking with a
'correct' accent, they feel they are becoming more English and therefore, less Italian. Unless you
want to change your identity, it's hard to let go. Just as an example, listen to French people who
speak almost perfect English. However good they are, it's usually impossible to mistake them for
anything other than French. The accent, it seems, is always the last thing to disappear.
1. people who come from the same country fellow countrymen
2. people who live permanently in other countries expatriates.
3. completely sure committed
4. think or say something is wrong object
