David Hockney

DAVID HOCKNEY, one of Britain's most popular artists, was born in Brad­ford, Yorkshire, in 1937. After leaving Bradford Grammar School at the age of eighteen, he went to Bradford School of Art and after that to the famous Royal College of Art in London, where he was one of the best students of his genera­tion. Then, at the age of twenty-five, he became a lecturer at Maidstone College of Art, not far from London.

During his time at art school, he decided that he did not want to paint abstract art so he developed a more *re-presentional' style, using strong, light colours. One year after joining Maidstone Col­lege of Art, he had his first exhibition, which was a great success. During the sixties he became world-famous as a popular artist. In 1964 he moved to Cali­fornia in the USA, where he now lives permanently. One of Hockney's most famous paint­ings is 'A Bigger Splash', which he paint­ed in 1975. The theme of swimming pools appears in several of his paintings because he likes the effects of movement and sunlight on blue water.

As well as painting, Hockney is also a talented photographer. In 1985 he won a first prize for photography. He has also designed costumes and sets for opera and ballet.

Touchy Topics

In North America when people meet each other for the first time, they talk about things like family, work, school or sports. They ask questions like "Do you have any brothers or sisters?", "Where do you work?", "What school do you go to?", and "Do you like sports?" They also ask questions like "Where do you come from?" and "Where do you live?" These are polite questions. They are not personal or private.

But some things are personal or pri­vate, and questions about them are not polite. People don't ask questions about a person's salary. They don't ask how much someone paid for something. It is OK to ask children how old they are, but it is not polite to ask older people their age. It is also not polite to ask people questions about politics or religion un­less you know them very well. People don't ask unmarried people "Why are you single?", and they don't ask a mar­ried couple with no children "Why don't you have any children?"

1. Look at the following questions. Are they polite or not polite when you meet someone for the first time in North America?

a)  What does your wife do?.......................

b)  Do you believe in God?.....................

c)  How much money do you earn?.......................

d)  How many children do you have?.....................

e)  Why aren't you married?...................

f)  Do you like baseball?....................

g)  How old are you, Mr Lee?.......................

h)Are you a Democrat or a Republi­can?

i) How much was your watch?..............................

2. Look at the questions again. Are they polite or not polite in your country?

The Worst Place for a Meal

1. Read these statements. Do you think they are true (T) or false (F)?

a)  Standard airplane meals are high in calories and fat.

b)  Most people don't enjoy eating when they fly.

c)  Roast beef with gravy is a healthier choice for a meal than seafood.

d)  You can order special meals from airlines.

2. Read the passage and check your answers.

A typical airline breakfast is a cheese omelet, croissant and bacon. That's at least 900 calories, which is more than many people eat in a day and about twice as much as most people eat for breakfast.

Other typical meals include buttered vegetables, fried foods, and meats served with gravy. Although travellers complain about airline food, most of them eat everything that is put in front of them.

What can you do to avoid unhealthy foods on an airplane? First, ask the air­line what special meals they serve. Many serve vegetarian, kosher, and other types of special meals if you give them advance notice. Second, bring your. own snack on board! Some fruit or a bag of popcorn purchased at the airport is much lower in fat and calories than the peanuts they give you. Third, if you have a choice between meat and seafood, choose the seafood. And finally, drink milk, juice, or club soda instead of an alcoholic beverage. You'll feel much better when you get off the plane!

3. Find words in the passage that mean:

a)  a flaky, rich, buttery roll;

b)  a thick sauce;

c)  contains no meat.

Brazil is a federal republic with 23 states. The capital city is Brasilia. Por­tuguese is the official language, and it is spoken with a distinct Brazilian accent. Brazil has a population of over 138 mil-

... Youth Rules the World

... The Youngest Millionaire

Paragraph 2

... The Peace Movement

... Changes in Fashion and the Arts

There are many things to remember about the sixties. Some people remember it for mini-skirts, the Beatles, hippies, and the flower children. It was a time when young people "owned" the world and thought that anything was possible. In art, fashion and music, the big names were often in their early twenties, and some of them were already million­aires! The sixties was a time when young people used to do whatever they wanted. "Don't trust anyone over 30!" they said.

In the arts, people like Andy Warhol created "pop art". And fashions changed, too. The mini-skirt became popular, and then the "unisex" look followed. Young people started wearing blue

jeans everywhere — to school, fancy restaurants and concerts. Many of them had very long hair and wore lots of rings, beads and bracelets. In music, the most popular group was the Beatles. Their songs told the story of the sixties. They sang about love, peace and personal freedom.

2. Find the best place in each paragraph for these sentences.

Paragraph 1: Others remember it for the Civil Rights Movement and the peace marches.

Paragraph 2: He painted pictures of everyday objects like soup cans.

Getting to Sleep

Read this passage. Circle true (T) or false (F) for the statements below.

Normally, people sleep between seven and eight hours a day, although some people need less than this and some may need more. But millions of people have trouble getting to sleep every night. According to sleep expert Dr Robert Schachter, many people do not know why they have difficulty in sleeping. Most people know that tea and coffee often make it difficult to go to sleep because they contain caffeine. But some medicines, such as cold tablets, also con­tain caffeine and interfere with sleep. Sleeping pills may help you fall asleep, but when you wake the next morning you don't feel refreshed. Our living habits also affect our sleep. Busy people who are under stress during the day may not be able to calm down and fall asleep at night. Eating just be­fore going to bed may also keep you awake. Dr Schachter says that you will sleep more easily if your bedroom is used only for sleep. You shouldn't use your bed­room as a conference room, a TV room, or an exercise room. You should also es­tablish a regular sleeping schedule, but don't go to bed until you are tired. Try to go to bed at the same time every night and get up at the same time every morn­ing. And if all this does not work, try counting sheep!

a)  T F Everyone needs eight hours sleep a night.

b)  T F Caffeine helps you to fall asleep.

c)  Т F Active people might have trouble falling asleep easily.

d)  T F You should be. careful about eating just before you go to bed.

e)  T F It is a good idea to have a TV near your bed.

f)  T F You should have regular sleeping hours.

Beyond the Telephone

1. Read this passage with a dictionary. Answer the questions below.

Remember, not so long ago, when the telephone used to be a simple receiver connected by a wire to the wall? And all you used your phone for was to make a phone call? Today, new technology has changed the telephone and what people use it puter-based technology has given us instant connections and clearer conver­sations over the telephone. Nowadays, people use telephones to do their banking, to rent videos, and to buy things. People use their telephones to connect their home computers to computerized information centers. People also send letters and documents through phone lines by fax. And new systems may be available shortly for sending video pic­tures over the telephone. But you don't need to be at home or at the office to use the telephone anymore. Mobile phones (also known as cellular phones) have no wires. You can carry one in your pocket or keep one in your car. A call from a mobile phone travels along radio waves to stations located in different places. From there, the radio signal is connected to the regular phone system. With a mobile phone, anyone who can drive and talk can also drive and phone. This means less wasted time: you don't have to look for a phone booth or use coins to make a call. So remember, next time you are at the beach or riding your bicycle, there might be a call for you!

a) How have computers improved tele­phone services?

b)  How many uses of the telephone can you find in the passage?

c)  How many uses of a mobile phone can you find?

d)  How does a mobile phone call reach a station?

3.  How many different things do you use the telephone for?
