Are you somebody who can't wake up in the
morning? Do you need two cups of coffee
before you can start a new day? Do you
feel awful when you first wake up?
Scientists say ¡t's all because of our genes.
How did they find this out? Researchers
from the University of Surrey interviewed
500 people. They asked them questions about.
- their lifestyle, for example what time of day
they preferred to do exercise and how difficult
they found it to wake up in the morning, Scientists
then compared their answers to the people's DNA.
They discovered that we all have a 'dock' gene, also called a Period
gene. This gene can be long or short. People who have the long gene
are usually people who are very good in the morning, but who get “l
tired quite early at night. People who have the short gene are usually
people who are more active at night but who have problems waking

2B Famous photos Student B
E TOOK THIS PHOTO in 1949 in France. He was
working for a magazine. They wanted photos
of fishermen. The people in the photo were a
fisherman called Marcel, his wife, and their little baby boy.
Marcel was leaving to go to Canada and the photographer
wanted to take a photo of him and his wite in front of
the boat. He said, Kiss your wife goodbye. | need a photo
with a kiss! But Marcel was very shy and he gave his wife
a very cold kiss. So the photographer said, 'Is that how
you kiss your wife” 50 he kissed her again, very naturally,
This time he forgot about the photographer. The photo
became quite famous. Many years later Marcel saw his
photo in my book and he wrote to the photographer.
He said that his son (the baby in the photo) was now
30 years old and was a fisherman too.

Richard
l was very optimistic when T went to mect
Claire. My first impression was that she was
very friendly and very extrovert. Physically
she was my type — she was quite slim and not
very tall with long dark hair — very pretty.
And she was very funny too. She had a great
sense of humour. We laughed a lot, But the
only problem was that Claire was very
talkative. 5he talked all the time and I just
listened. She wasn't very interested in me. At
the end of the evening I knew everything
about her and she knew nothing about me,
Claire was the kind of woman 1 could have as
a friend but not asa girlfriend.
QA
When I first saw Nina | couldn't believe it.
l thought “Wow! Thanks mum. She's very
attractive = she's got short dark hair — and
she's quite tall She's Hungarian, from
Budapest but her English was fantastic.
Atfirst she was a bit shy but when we
started chatting we found we had a lot of
things in common — we both like music,
food, and travelling. We got on really well —
we didn't stop talking for the whole evening,
When it was time to go knew I really
wanted to see Nina again and 1 asked her for
her phone number, But — she just smiled at
me and said in her beautiful Hungarian
accent. “Richard, you're really sweet but 'm
sorry you're not my type.

OK, now the painting we are looking at now
is by the French painter Toulouse-Lautrec.
The painting is called Ar the Moulin Rouge.
As you probably know The Moulin Rouge is a
nightclub in Paris. Maybe some of you
remember the film Moulin Rouge? In the 19th
century, the nightclub was very famous for its
beautiful dancers and singers.
Toulouse-Lautrec did a lot of paintings and
posters of the Moulin Rouge. He especially loved
painting the dancers. And in these paintings he
sometimes included his friends too.
In the middle of the picture there are five
people who are sitting at a table having a
drink. The woman who's wearing a hat is a
dancer = her name is la Macarona —, and the
man sitting next to her on the right is a friend
of Toulouse-Lautrec, He was a photographer.
On the right, here, there's a woman with fair
hair, blue eyes, and very red lips. Her face
looks very white. That's another famous
dancer called Jane Avril. At the back of the
picture, on the right, there are two women
who are standing together. One of them is
touching her hair. That's La Goulue and she
was one of the most famous singers at the
Moulin Rouge at that time.
Now this is very interesting. If you look
carefully to the left of the two women, there
are two men walking out of the nightclub.
One of them is very tall and the other one is
wery short. The very tall man is Toulouse-
Lautrec's cousin Gabriel, and the other man is
Toulouse-Lautrec himself. Toulouse-Lautrec
was only 1 metre 50 centimetres tall. He had
very short legs and couldn't walk very well,
Some people think that this is why he loved
painting the dancers of the Moulin Rouge...
because they all had beautiful, long legs.

1 Definitely more. My daughter got married
last year and she and her husband live quite
far away. She rings me almost every day to
tell me how everything is going, and we
usually chat for hours. My phone bill is now
double what it was when she was living at
home.
2 | spend a lot less time than before. My
youngest child has just started school, and
P've gone back to work, so 1 never make
lunch now during the week — 1 just have
a sandwich, And in the evenings we often get
take-away pizzas or Chinese food, or we heat
something up in the microwave,
[only really spend time in the kitchen at
weckends.
3 Well Pd say less — though 'm not sure if
my parents would agree, 1 get 50 much
homework now that [never go to bed
before 11 or 12, but E still get up at seven
in the morning. It's true | get up later at
weekends, but that's only two days out of
seven.
4 More, much more. Before itonly used to
take me fifteen minutes to get to work,
and now it takes me twenty-five, or even
halfan hour. 1's mainly because there are
just more cars on the road. Sometimes]
think 1 should use public transport, but
it's quite complicated from where 1 live,

First I did the photo test. was near Charing
Cross station. | stopped a man who was
walking quite slowly down the road and 1
said, “Excuse me, could you take my photo?
The man said, “No, no, no time for that; and
just continued walking. Then l asked a
businessman in a grey suit who was walking
towards the station. He took one photo, but
when Tasked him to take another one he
walked away quickly.
Next, it was the shopping test. went toa
tourist shop in Oxford Street and l bought a
key ring and a red bus, The red bus was very
expensive. The total price was forty pounds,
[ gave the man a hundred pounds — two fifty
pound notes. He gave me sixty pounds back.
Finally it was time for the accident test.
For this test I went down into the Tube (the
London Underground). As I'went down the
stairs I fell over and sat on the floor. A man
immediately stopped and looked down at
me, | thought he was going to help me but
he didn't — he just said, "Why don't you look
where you are going?

Receptionist Good morning, ma'am. How
can 1 help you?
Allie I want to go shopping. Where's the best
place to go?
Receptionist Well, all the big department
stores are around Union Square,

Receptionist Yes, of course, Go out of the
hotel and turn left. Go straight ahead, down
Sutter Street. Turn left at Stockton — its the
third street on the left, Union Square will be
right in front of you. You can't miss it.

Interviewer Good evening and welcome. In
today's programme we're going to talk
about singing. In the studio we have
Martin, the director of a singing school in
London and Gemma a student at Martin's
school. Good morning to both of you.
Martin £ Gemma Good morning.
Interviewer First Martin, can you tell us, why
is ita good idea for people to learn to sing?
Martin First, because singing makes you feel
good. And secondly because singing is very
good for your health.
Interviewer Really? In what way?
Martin Well, when you learn to sing you
need to learn to breathe correctly, That's
very important, And you also learn to
stand and sit correctly. As a result, people
who sing are often fitter and healthier
than people who don't,
Interviewer Are your courses only for
professional singers?
Martin No, not at all. They're for
everybody. You don't need to have any
experience of singing. And you don't need
to be able to read music.
Interviewer So how do your students learn
to sing?
Martin They learn by listening and repeating.
Singing well is really 959% listening.
Interviewer OK, Gemma. Tell us about the
course, How long did it last?
Gemma Only one day. From ten in the
morning to six in the evening.
Interviewer Could you already sing well
before you started?
Gemma No, not well. But I have always liked
singing. But l can't read music and 1 never
thought [sang very well.
Interviewer $0 what happened on the course?
Gemma Well, first we did a lot of listening
and breathing exercises and we learnt
some other interesting techniques.
Interviewer What sort of things?
Gemma Well, for example we learnt that it is
easier to sing high notes if you sing with a
surprised look on your face!
Interviewer Oh really? Could you show us?
Gemma Well, 'll try.
Interviewer For those of you at home, I can
promise you that Gemma looked very
surpnsed, Were you happy with your p
Gemma Absolutely, At the end of the day
we were singing in almost perfect
harmony. lt was amazing. In just one day
we really were much better,
Interviewer Could you two give us a little
demonstration?
Martin £ Gemma Oh, OK,
4. 5TW
l arrived at Kraków airport with Kasia, my
guide. Test number one. 1 had to
get a taxi to the hotel. 1 said to the taxi
driver, in Polish, “To the Holiday Inn hotel,
please! — Prosze do hotelu Holiday Inn. No
problem. The driver understood me. But
then he started talking to me in perfect
English. I felt a bit stupid,
We got to the hotel, checked in, and then we
went to the hotel bar for test number two.
A wailress came up tous and | said “Proszg
piwo, thatis, a beer please, Then the waitress
said something in Polish and 1 understood
her! She said 'a big or small beer? “Big; 1 said. 1
was so happy that I could understand her. 1
really enjoyed that beer.
Next we went out into the street for test
three: asking for directions. 1 decided to ask
for directions to a chemist, because 1 knew
the word for chemist, apteka. I stopped a
woman who looked friendly and I said, in
Polish, “Excuse me please, is there a chemist's
near here? No problem. But then she started
talking really fast and pointing. 1 tried to
listen for left or right or anything I could
understand but no. | couldn't understand
anything. Dwas sure that Kasia was going to
give me zero for this test!
was fecling less confident now. We went
back to the hotel for test four: making a
phone call. Kasia gave me a phone number
and told me to ask to s to her friend.
His name was Adam. 1 dialled the number.
A woman answered the phone. Is Adam
there?, I said hopefully. “Adama nie ma! she
said, I understood that! Adam's not in. ]
wanted to say "When will he be back? but
I could only say "When home? “Kiedy domu?
And 1 didn't understand her answer. $0 1
said thank you and goodbye very politely.
Kasia smiled, so 1 thought, well, not bad.
Finally, test five: asking the time. 1 knew this
test was going to be very hard. Numbers in
Polish are incredibly difficult and l've abways
found telling the time is impossible. But I had
a brilliant idea. 1 stopped a man in the street
and said, Excuse me, what's the time?" 1
couldn't understand the answer but ] just said,
“Sorry, can Esee your watch please?" He
showed it to me, Twenty past seven. Perfect!
How well did 1 do in the tests? Well, Kasia
gave me five out often for language and
eight for imagination. $0 can you learn a
language in a month? Not Polish, definitely!

enough time to sec it all, Never mind.
Mark Maybe next time.
Allie What a lovely evening!

Mark Hey, 1 didn't know you two were
friends already.
Allie We met this morning. I got lost. I was
trying to find Union Square — and
suddenly Brad appeared.

margaritas?

Interviewer OK, Michael, can you tell us
what to do in these three situations? First
what about the crocodile attack?
Michael Well, once a crocodile has seen you
it will attack you, s0 doing nothing is not
really an option. And a crocodile attacks so
quickly that people never have time to
swim to safety, The crocodile will try to get
you in its mouth and take you under the
water. Your only hope is to try to hitit in
the eye or on the nose. If you did this and
you were very lucky the crocodile would
open its mouth and give you time to
escape. But I have to say that i0s very
difficult, although not impossible, to
survive a crocodile attack.
Interviewer What about the bear attack?
Michael When a bear attacks someone,
their natural reaction is always to try to
run away or to climb up a tree. But these
are both bad ideas, Bears can run much
faster than we can and they're also much
better and faster at climbing trees.
The best thing to do in this situation
would be to pretend to be dead. A bear
usually stops attacking when it thinks that
its enemy is dead and so, if you were lucky
it would lose interest in you and go away.
Interviewer And finally, the bull attack?
Michael Well, if you were in the middle ofa
field, forget about running. Bulls can run
incredibly fast. And don't shout or wave
your arms because bulls react to movement
and this will just make the bull come in
your direction. The best thing to do is to try
not to move, and just stay where you are,
and then at the last moment to throw
something, a hat or your shirt, away from
you. Ilfyou were lucky, the bull would
change direction to follow the hat or shirt
and you'd be able to escape. By the way, it
doesn't matter what colour the shirtis. lt
isn't true that bulls like red. They don't see
colour, they only see movement.
