Camilla, Duchess of Lochmar, talks about when she was young.

I was born on May 7th, 1919, at the family home, Foxton House, in Leicestershire. Our family
has lived there for generations. We had the most beautiful gardens. People used to travel miles
to see our rose garden in June. I was the youngest child and the only girl. I had three older
brothers. They weren´t there while I was growing up. Of course, my mother and father used to
spoil me, my father especially. He died when I was sixteen. It was a terrible time for my
mother and me. Fortunately, I was at home with her. I never went to school. I had a governess
for a few years, so I didn´t have much education. My mother thought it was more important
for a girl to learn to dance, to go to parties, and look pretty. My best memories are two years
before I married – all those dances and parties. I loved it.

Tony Blunt is a former police-dog handler who retired early to establish Hearing Dogs for the
Deaf in 1982. Many of the dogs that are trained come from rescue centres and Tony may
spend up to a year deciding whether the dog is suitable or not. It then spends 16 week at a
training centre where it is taught to respond to certain sounds such as alarm clocks,
telephones, fire alarms, etc. Dogs are taught to put their feet on the bed to wake the person
when the alarm goes off, or to run up to the person and touch them before taking them to the
source of the sound. The exception is the fire alarm. In this case they teach the dog to attract
attention and then lie down.

Of all my relatives, I like my aunt Emily the best. She´s my mother´s youngest sister. She has
never married, and she lives alone in a small village near Bath. She´s in her late fifties, but
she´s still quite young in spirit. She has a kind face, and when you meet her, the first thing
you notice is her lovely, warm smile. Her face is a little wrinkled now, but I think she is still
rather attractive. She is the sort of person you can always go to if you have a problem.
She likes reading and gardening, and she goes for long walks over the hills with her dog,
Buster. She´s a very active person. Either she´s making something, or mending something, or
doing something to help others. She´s extremely generous, but not very tolerant with people
who don´t agree with her. I hope that I am as happy and contented as she is when I´m her age.

One way to make life easier is to introduce “queue management”. Customers at supermarket
cheese counters can now take a ticket with a number which appears on a screen when it is
their turn. And while they wait for their number they can do a bit of shopping.
In some booking offices there is also a system telling customers how long they may have to
wait before they are served.

moving. Why not take up a social sport, such as tennis or badminton and get fit while having
fun? If you prefer a more solitary approach, swimming is great for all-round fitness. Pollution
is on the increase, so if cycling, choose quiet routes free from traffic fumes. If you live or
work in a polluted area, consider the extra protection that a vitamin supplement could provide.

Manslaughter
In 1981, Marianne Bachmeir, from Lubeck, West Germany, was in court watching the trial of
Klaus Grabowski, who had murdered her 7-year-old daughter. Grabowski had a history of
attacking children. During the trial, Frau Bachmeir pulled a Beretta 22 pistol from her
handbag and fired eight bullets, six of which hit Grabowski, killing him. The defence said she
had bought the pistol with the intention of committing suicide, but when she saw Grabowski
in court she drew the pistol and pulled the trigger. She was found not guilty of murder, but
was given six years imprisonment for manslaughter. West German newspapers reflected the
opinion of millions of Germans that she should have been freed, calling her „the avenging
mother“.

Wolves
The popular image of wolves is not a pleasant one. In children´s stories they are often
portrayed as cruel, evil creatures, and many people are brought up to fear and dislike them. In
reality, though, they are rarely aggressive to people, and within their own groups in the wild
they are extremely tolerant and supportive.
Wolves are, in fact, very social animals, and as a group their social structure is similar to our
own, but often works better because it lacks destructive human emotions such as greed, envy
and revenge. Well-established groups usually comprise about ten members, and they have
hierarchical structure which includes upper, middle and lower class. The upper class includes
the dominant male and a female, the middle classes generally consist of non-breeding adults,
and the lower classes would include any outcasts and youngsters under two years of age.
1. In general, people especially children don´t like wolves. ____

2. Wolves are perceived as the symbol of cruelty. ____
3. Greed, envy and revenge belong to the typical behaviour of wolves. ____
4. There are no dominant females in wolves´ social structure. ____
5. The oldest wolves belong to the lowest class in their social structure. ____

No news is good news
Martyn Lewis believes that the media in Britain are obsessed with disaster and that they give
a distorted view of the world. He says that TV news visits people, organisations and countries
when things are going wrong for them, but rarely goes back when things start to go right. For
example, a few years ago, an area of the country suffered from riots and violence and this was
widely reported. But since then, through good policing and a new self-help community policy,
there has been a significant decrease in crime in the area, but this has not been reported on the
national news. He says that when news editors discuss the day´s priorities, there should be a
more representative balance of the stories that affect or change the country or the world we
live in. This will give more weight to achievements and successes, so that people who watch
the news are more aware of the changes that offer hope for the future.

My dear Mr Livens,
Since I have been here in Paris I have thought of you and your work very often. You will
remember that I liked your colour, your ideas on art and literature, and I add, most of all your
personality. I have already thought that I ought to let you know what I was doing and where I
was. I find living in Paris much more expensive than in Antwerp. Because I don´t know what
your circumstances are, I dare not say: “Come over to Paris from Antwerp”, without warning
you. You know, everything is so expensive here, and that if poor, one has to suffer many
things - as you may imagine. But on the other hand, there is more chance of selling. There is
also a good chance of exchanging pictures with other artists. There is much to be seen here -
for instance Delacroix, to name only one master. In Antwerp I didn´t even know who the
Impressionists were, now I have seen them, and though not being one of the club yet, I much
admire certain impressionists´ pictures - Degas nude figure - Claude Monet landscape......
Yours truly, Vincent
1. Vincent doesn´t live in Paris any more. _____

2. Vincent strongly disagrees with Mr Liven´s ideas on art. _____

Pearl came from a wealthy family and although she had a very good job in management, she
never needed to work for living. When she was thirty, her grandfather died and left her a
fortune. She thought for a long time about what to do with it, then decided to do a number of
different things.
First, she decided not to give up her job, but to keep working. She also decided to give some
of the money to a charity for the protection of birds. She invested about a third of the total
sum in a friend´s rapidly expanding computer firm. She gave a small percentage to strangers
who heard about her good luck and wrote begging letters. She spent some of it on a round the
world cruise. She bought herself a modest holiday home in Jamaica. She didn´t keep any of it
in the bank, but hid quite a large amount of it in different places around her home: under the
bed, in cupboards, etc.

Researchers are finding out about the disease-fighting and life improving powers of everyday
foods. People who live in the Mediterranean countries are, in general, impressively healthy.
Some features of their cuisine - the reliance on fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains, for
instance, are all part of a healthy diet. But others aren´t. For example, there is the „French
paradox“. The French eat as much saturated fat as the English, but the death rate from heart
disease for French men is only about 30% of that for English men. Some researchers say this
protection from heart disease is largely because of wine. In south-western France, the average
man drinks two to three glasses of wine, mostly red, every day with meals. Most
epidemiologists accept that moderate alcohol consumption - around two drinks a day -
probably has a protective effect on heart. But too much is obviously bad for you.

2. The food of Mediterraneans is generally healthy and diet. _____

they tend to have more heart diseases than English. _____
