WONDERS OF THE MODERN WORLD
Medical Science
Surely nothing has done more for the comfort and happiness of mankind than the advance of medical knowledge! How many millions of people have benefited from the humble aspirin?

Holidays
Yes holidays! In fact there have always been holidays in ancient Rome there were more than 150 a year but a holiday used to mean simply a day when you didnt work. Now holidaymakers travel to all parts of the world. Perhaps you dont like so many tourists in your country, but you must agree that a phenomenon which sees the population of Greece treble in summer, and which sends office workers and shop assistants to Spain, Turkey, or the Caribbean is a wonder of the world.
1 The writer thinks that men have benefited more from medicine than women. 2 People can expect to live about twenty-five years longer today compared with 1906. 3 The writer agrees with people who dont like tourists in their country.

Agatha Mary Clarissa Christie is possibly the worlds most famous detective story writer. She wrote 79 novels and several plays. Her sales outnumber those of William Shakespeare. However, behind her 4,680,000 words was a painfully shy woman whose life was often lonely and unhappy. She was born in 1890 in Devon, the third child of Clarissa and Frederick Miller, and grew into a beautiful and sensitive girl with waist-length golden hair. She didnt go to school but was educated at home by her mother. Her father died when she was 11 and both she and her mother were grief-stricken. During World War 1, while she was working in a hospital dispensary, she learned about chemicals and poisons, which proved to be very useful to her in her later career. She wrote her first detective novel, The Mysterious Affair

IN SEARCH OF GOOD ENGLISH FOOD
How come it is so difficult to find English food in England? In Greece you eat Greek food, in France French food, in Italy Italian food, but in England, in any High Street in the land, it is easier to find Indian and Chinese restaurants than English ones. In London you can eat Thai, Portuguese, Turkish, Lebanese, Russian, Polish, Swiss, Swedish, Spanish, and Italianbut where are the English restaurants? It is not only in restaurants that foreign dishes are replacing traditional British food. In every supermarket, sales of pasta, pizza and poppadoms are booming. Why has this happened? What is wrong with the cooks of Britain that they prefer cooking pasta to potatoes? Why do the British choose to eat lasagne instead of shepherds pie? Why do they now like cooking in wine and olive oil? But perhaps it is a good thing. After all, this is the end of the 20th century and we can get ingredients from all over the world in just a few hours. Anyway, wasnt English food always disgusting and tasteless? Wasnt it always boiled to death and swimming in fat? The answer to these questions is a resounding No, but to understand this, we have to go back to before World War II. The British have in fact always imported food from abroad. From the time of the Roman invasion foreign trade was a major influence on British cooking. English kitchens, like the English language, absorbed ingredients from all over the worldchickens, rabbits, apples, and tea. All of these and more were successfully incorporated into British dishes. Another important influence on British cooking was of course the weather. The good old British rain gives us rich soil and green grass, and means that we are able to produce some of the finest varieties of meat, fruit and vegetables, which dont need fancy sauces or complicated recipes to disguise their taste.

YOU ASK WE ANSWER!
Q WHY DO WOMEN LIVE LONGER THAN MEN? A Women generally live six years longer than men.
Evidence suggests that boys are the weaker sex at birth, which means that more die in infancy. Also women do not have as much heart disease as men. In terms of lifestyle, men smoke more than women and thus more die of smokingrelated diseases. They also drink more and are generally more aggressive in behaviour, particularly when driving cars, so they are more likely to die in accidents. Also, they generally have more dangerous occupations, such as building work. Historically, women died in childbirth and men in wars. Hence nuns and philosophers often lived to great ages. Now, childbearing is less risky and there are fewer wars. The country with the highest life expectancy is Japan, where the average age for men is 76 and for women 82.
