The average life span for men and women has now almostdoubled. Whats more, this seems to be a continuing trend. Not only are we living longer, but weare also living a far healthier lifestyle. With record numbers of fit, healthy people reaching theage of 90 and over, it is becoming clear that negative predictions of greying population troubled

by increasing number of diseases as well as huge medical bills, have been exaggerated.We can see that there are many different aspects affecting the ageing process, includinglifestyle, attitude, social circumstances and diet. Studies carried out on mice for example, haveshown that intake of fewer calories allowed mice to live up to 40% longer than those who ate asmuch as they wanted. In human years, this is equal to 30 or 40 more years of life. The mice alsostayed energetic longer, had better memories and lower levels of cancer. Japanese peopleliving on the island of Okinawa, in fact, consume 20% fewer calories than the rest of thepopulation of Japan and, as a result, have the highest population of centenarians anywhere inthe world!The challenge the rest of us now face is how to delay the ageing process. There are, in fact, twodifferent aspects to ageing that we need to be aware of, the one involving the natural passing oftime, and the other involving the natural, physical ageing of the body. While we have no control

over our chronological age, we can, up to a point, do a lot to slow down biological ageing bytaking nutritional advice.1.

Test 3

FORMATIVE TEST, NIVELUL A2I To many visitors to Britain , is where its all going on .The man who is tired of London is tired oflife, dr. Jonson said in 1750. Or as an updated version has it ,London is where the action is .Well that

s how its put down in the guide book any way

Of course , to Londoners the word city means the City with the capital C, that square mile eventuallymarked out and waled in by the Romans after they had set up their original camp by the Thamesabout 50 AD. Some Londoners still live there, but as you look at the area today , you come up against

the real story of many of the worlds capital cities growth and identity .


12/35

Most Londoners are not Londoners and do not live in the London they work in . Their home is one ofthe large villages that make up London as it began spilling and pushing up in the late 18th and 19th

centuries . They live either in the inner suburbs of the Metropolitan area of the outer suburbs of the

Greater London area. Its all very expensive and overcrowded and yet more and more people arepiling in and looking for a nest . For every one who finds it too expensive and moves out , at leastthree are waiting to move in.

Which brings in the identity problem . Where does Britain really begin? In London? Well, doesFrance begin in Paris? Only a Parisian or a Londoner would make the claim and Londoners are

scarcer than Parisians these days . What?! With 9million inhabitants? You might ask in astonishment.But what is meant by that is that these days in London if you are in a room full of people the chances

of coming across a second generation Londoner are about one in a hundred . And a third- generationLondoner is something to make peoples eyes pop.1 According to the passage, tourists think of capital cities

as a place full of sightsin terms of landmarksin terms of guidebooksas places where its all going on

2 We are told that in 50 AD the Romansbuilt the first city in Londonput a wall round Londonstopped in London

attacked London3 It is suggested that

the suburbs are really villagesthe suburbs are larger than villages

the suburbs are getting larger

all real Londoners live in the suburbs4Which of these is true , according to the writer?

London is becoming increasingly overcrowdedLondon cannot contain any more people

London is too expensive for most peopleLondon is less expensive in the suburbs5The passage suggest that few peoplehave parents born in London

the one which fits each gap (1-7). There is one extra sentence that you do not need touse. Ignore the fact that some words are underlined. (21 points)I have called this book The Insomniacs Dictionarypartly because it was born in the dark hoursof night during my own periods of sleeplessness. (1) ___ For one thing, it doesnt require muchin the way of mental or emotional commitment. And secondly, its not meant to be read thoughat once. I encourage everyone to skim and skip around a bit.

The Insomniacs Dictionarypresents nearly 3,000 strange and intriguing words, all of which aregrouped together by categories. (2) ___ Its been more than a dozen years since I firstdiscovered the joys of dictionary reading. From the very beginning, I was amazed by therichness of our language. I quickly became enchanted with words like kakistrocracy(government by the worst citizens), and I wanted more. (3) ___ It didnt take long to realise Iwas stymied there were books that included these delightful words but none that groupedthem together to be enjoyed as a whole. (4) ___The results are here for you to enjoy. Some of the thematic lists are as all-inclusive as I couldmake them. Every chapter has been thoroughly and painstakingly researched. I cannot claimthe resulting lists are absolutely complete but can state that they are more complete than anylists that can be found in any other reference books.(5) ___ Such chapters are intended merely as introductions to their respective subjects. By way

of example, our language contains over 20,000 eponyms (words which are based on a personsname). Most of these are obscure scientific terms or measurements and its obviously beyondthe scope of this book to list them all. (6) ___Most of the word lists are pretty long, and Ive therefore chosen to divide them into smallergroups. I admit these sub-categories are totally arbitrary, they are a means of presenting thewords in easier-to-digest servings and should not be construed as definitive classification. (7)

___ Remember, this book is best enjoyed by browsing, not straightforward reading.A. Thus my research began.B. And speaking of digestibility, I would not recommend reading some of the longer chapters atone sitting.C. It wouldnt be much fun either.D. On the other hand, some of the chapters make no attempt to be all-inclusive.

E. More to the point, its the perfect book for insomniacs, book browsers and anyone else with alittle time to while away.F. By way of explaining why Ive chosen this format, Id like to briefly relate my inspiration forwriting this book.G. I wanted to see all the weird and wonderful words there were.H.

TEST SUMATIV, NIVELUL B2

Test:1 READINGI. Multicultural Britain


32/35

The following are extracts from a speech given by Robin Cook, the British Foreign Secretary, inApril 2001.

(A) Tonight I want to celebrate Britishness. Sadly, it has become fashionable for some to argue that

British identity is under siege, (1)............ . I want to argue that where the pessimists identity a threat,we should instead see developments that will strengthen and renew British identity.

(B) The first element in the debate about the future of Britishness is the changing ethnic compositionof the British people. The British are not a race, but a gathering of countless different races and

communities. It is not their purity that makes the British unique, but the sheer pluralism of theirancestry.

(C) London was first established as the capital of a Celtic Britain by Romans from Italy. They werein turn driven out by Saxons and Angles from Germany. The great cathedrals of this land were built

mostly by Norman bishops, (2)............ . Outside our Parliament, Richard the Lionheart proudly sits

astride his steed, a symbol of courage and defiance. Yet the spoke French much of his life, anddepended on the Jewish community of England to put up the ransom that freed him from prison.

(D) The idea that Britain was a pure Anglo-Saxon society before the arrival of communities fromthe Caribbean, Asia and Africa is fantasy. But if this view of British identity is false to our past, it is

false to our future too. The global era has produced population movements of a breadth and richness

without parallel in history. Todays London is a perfect hub of the globe. It is home to over thirtyethnic communities of at least 10,000 residents each. In this city tonight, over 300 languages will be

spoken by families over their evening meal at home. This pluralism is not a burden we mostreluctantly accept. It is an immense asset that contributes to the cultural and economic vitality of our

nation.

(E) Legitimate immigration is the necessary and unavoidable result of economic success, which

generates a demand for labour faster than can be met by the birthrate of a modern developed country.Our cultural diversity is one of the reasons why Britain continues to be the preferred location formultinational companies setting up in Europe.

(F) (3)............ . Our lifestyles and cultural horizons have also been broadened in the process. It

reaches into every aspect of our national life.

(G) Chicken Tikka Massala is now a true British national dish, not only because it is the mostpopular, (4)............ . Chicken Tikka is an Indian dish. The Massala sauce was added to satisfy thedesire of British people to have their meat served in gravy.

(H) The modern notion of national identity cannot be based on race and ethnicity, (5)............ . Some

of the most successful countries in the modern world, such as the United States and Canada, areimmigrant societies. Their experience shows how cultural diversity, allied to a shared concept of

equal citizenship, can be a source of enormous strength. We should draw inspiration from thatexperience.
