 Read the first part of the article (Who reads most?). Complete table l.

 Read the rest of the article (Where do people read?). Write a phrase from the article or the table under each picture.

4 Read the article again. Are these sentences TRUE or FALSE?

1          people often read in bed.

3          Accountants do 16% of their reading in the living room.

4          Taxi drivers don't read on the way to work. 5 people don't usually read in the bath.

A survey of 1,600 people shows that accountants read more than people in other jobs — five hours and fifteen minutes a week. The survey asked people about reading in their free time, and some of the facts are quite surprising. In second place are secretaries with four hours and fifty-

nine minutes a week. Bottom of the list are priests with only two hours and forty minutes. One told us that priests don't often read for pleasure because they are very busy people and don't have much free time.

'8.Ws very early for breakfast!' says Antonio Romero, manager of 'La Taurina', a bar in the centre of Madrid, near Puerta del Sol. 'The most popular time for breakfast is I I .00, When people come out of their offices for coffee, toast, and croissants.'

But at 8.00, the bar is quiet, With only the TV

Andrés Daganzo, one of a small number of early morning customers, tells us: 'l always have breakfast in a café — coffee with milk, and a croissant, between 8.00 and 9.00. I get up at 6.30, but thatg too early to have breakfast with my family. Anyway, it's not normal to have breakfast at home here.'. In 'La Taurinae, the menu offers different breakfasts: 1. coffee with rolls, toast, or churros, for €1.30; 2. coffee,           or wine with sandwiches for €1.50. A glass of fresh orange juice is yours for €0.60.

MOSCOW

In Russia, where people usually have breakfast at home, they eat it quickly. Because of the cold weather, they eat food like sausages, cheese, eggs, and bread. Ekaterina Arutseva, a Moscow resident, tells us: 'First I give the rabbit some cabbage for breakfast. I turn on the radio, and my husband has a quiet cigarette. Then I make breakfast for my husband and son, but I hardly ever have breakfast with them, because I'm always in a hurry. We have porridge, called 'kasha', which is easy, and sometimes we have food from dinner the night before. t like to drink tea and we eat jam or honey with the tea. My son would like to have the cornflakes he sees on TV, but they're very expensive here.'

Before she was amous ...

J             K Rowling was born near Bristol in 1965. She always wanted to be a writer, and her first book was called Rabbit, which she Mote when she was six years old. She grew up in a town in the south-west of England, and when she left sthool, she went to Exeter University. After that, she moved to London and worked for Amnesty International.

She first had the idea for a Harry Potter book in 1990 when she was on a long train journey. But in the same year, she went to Oporto in Portugal and worked as an English teacher. When she was there, she met a Portuguese journalist — they got married and had a baby. Unfortunately, the marriage wasnt a long one and she left, with her baby daughter, in 1993. She came back to Britain and lived in a small flat in Edinburgh. She was unemployed and didnt have much money, but she continued writing. She also did a teaching course and then became a French teacher in a school in Edinburgh. In 1997, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was published.

Rowling's first three books sold over 35 million copies in three years, and in 2001 Chris Columbus made the first Harry potter film. J K Rowling still lives in Edinburgh.

2    Read the Paris article again. Number the places on the map in the order the Thompsons visited them.

In 1998, Martin and Lucy Thompson decided to drive from Dover, England, to Paris to spend a few days there with some friends. It was a long drive, so they took quite a lot of food and drink for the journey, but unfortunately, they forgot to take a map.

They got off the boat in Calais, France and immediately got lost, but they continued driving and didn't stop to ask for directions. When they got near the border with Switzerland, they knew it was the wrong road. They went back, this time driving through Luxembourg, then to Brussels. Many hours later, they got to Rotterdam in the Netherlands, and then finally arrived in Bonn, Germany, with no money, food, drink, or petrol. Some kind people gave them some money and they got back to Dover a week later, after driving more than 1500 kilometres.

In 2002, a foreign student arrived at Heathrow Airport, Londcn. on his way to study English at a language school in Bath, 175 km west of London. He didn't speak very much English, but he knew the question, 'Excuse me, how do I get to Bath?' He asked a lot of people for directions, but they didn't understand his accent. Finally, a nice man took him to the station and helped him get a train. The ticket was very expensive, so he didn't have any money or food for the journey. and only a small bottle of water. Six hours and 667 kilometres later, feeling very hungry and thirsty, he arrived in Perth, Scotland. He showed a woman a letter with the address of the language school. 'This isn't Bath, it' Perth!' she said. She took the student home, gave him a bed for the night, then paid for his ticket to Bath the next day.

At what age can children

Watch your baby

AT 0-2 MONTHS

Babies can sec from birth, but only about 20—30 cms— so they can see your face if you are near, but not very well. They have good vision when they are about eight months old. However, they can usually hear well by one month. At this age, they sleep about 15—16 hours a day. Babies cry from the start, but they develop two cries: one for Tm thirsty' and a different one for 'I'm tired'. They can usually smile at about four to six weeks.

AT 3-6 MONTHS

At about three months, they laugh and they start to recognise you. Babies at this age can hold their heads up when they're sitting. They begin to say baby words like 'coo' and 'ah-goo'. Typically, they play with their hands and feet, and they take things and put them in their mouths.

AT 7-9 MONTHS

By this stage, babies sleep a little less (about 14 hours), and they're beginning to crawl. Normally they can sit up without help and by the time they're nine months old, they can usually stand ifthey are holding onto a table or holding onto you.

AT 10-12 MONTHS

When babies are a year old, they can usually stand without help and they are beginning to walk. They can understand the word •no', and they can also say 'mama' and •dada' to the correct person. They start to pick up small things with one hand, which is important later for learning to eat with a spoon, write. and draw. They can throw things and wave goodbye.
