LEARNING ABOUT FOOD


A school in California finds a new way to teach students about healthy eating.
Alice Waters- chef and restaurant owner- is sitting in the kitchen garden of the Martin Luther King School in
Berkeley, California. The kitchen garden is called the Edible Schoolyard and students at this public school are
preparing a vegetable bed as part of a lesson. Later, they will cook what they pick as part of their school lunch.

0. __E__ Each student receives between 18 and 40 hours tuition a year in the Schoolyard, and as a result, what
they eat at school has changed. A good part of the food grown here is used in the school’s daily meals.

Waters has been fighting to improve children’s diets for a decade, and in 1996, she started a campaign to raise
funds for the Edible Schoolyard and the School Lunch Initiative. 39. _____ And Waters hopes that they will set an
example for other parts of the country as well. “We have such a huge problem of eating habits in the United States
that teaching about food cannot be left to parents,” she says. “So many children generally are eating fast, cheap, and
easy food that something has to be done.”

Marsha Guerrero, director of the School Lunch Initiative, explains how it all works. “This is mainly a teaching
garden,” she says. “We couldn’t possibly produce enough food in this small space to feed all 300 children.” Nearby
farms, therefore, also supply food as part of the regular lunches at the school. These are prepared using fresh
organic ingredients when possible.

Typical classes in the Edible Schoolyard involve plenty of gardening activity. However, they are not a break
from normal school work as academic projects are always attached. In one lesson, the students are asked to choose
one part of the garden as their personal spot for the entire year. They then observe and record in a journal what
happens in this spot as time progresses. They record their observations of insect life, the soil, and the changes to the
plants. 40. _____

Classes in the kitchen involve cooking lunch, but also link into classroom academic subjects. The food cooked
here includes a range of dishes from pasta to stuffed vine leaves and delicious Italian omelettes filled with herbs and
vegetables. The recipes are dictated by what vegetables are available. Science is taught through nutrition and
cooking technique; geography through the effects of the seasons and eating habits around the world. 41. _____
Today’s midday meal consists of home-made pesto and tomato sandwiches, with a big vegetable salad.
Everyone is eating. Teo Hernandez, 13, says he has changed the way he eats. “I can now cook and grow things,” he
says. “I don’t know yet if I will continue doing so in the future, but I know I can. I have changed my attitude to
food; I like some herbs and lettuce and I use less salt. It’s been fun, the teachers are nice- and there’s no
homework.” Teo has been in the US for only three years, but his teachers say he has learnt to speak perfect English
in such a short time because he is so happy at school.

But has Alice Waters succeeded? Is the Edible Schoolyard model the way forward? 42. _____ “When kids
become unhealthy due to bad habit, they become isolated,” says Waters. “But eating such good food and picking,
smelling, and cooking the vegetables and fruit in this garden makes them care about what they eat- and it shows
them that we care about them. Just seeing a child saying to another, ‘Would you like some?’- that’s the essential
thing.”

MELTING GLACIERS
High above the African plains of Uganda and Congo, the Ruwenzori Mountains have a handful of glaciers.
Their melting waters feed the Nile, the world’s longest river. Here, for hundreds of thousands of years, people
have depended on the river for basic necessities: water, transportation, farming, and fishing.

Now, the glaciers of the Ruwenzori are melting so rapidly that they will soon disappear. Within the next
twenty or thirty years, most glaciers in Africa and South America will disappear completely. Several glaciers in
the Alps have already disappeared in as few as 40 years. In the Patagonian ice fields of Argentina, some glaciers
have gone back one and one-half kilometre in the last 13 years. In the Himalayan Mountains, glaciers are
melting so fast that the rainfall which is not absorbed by the soil has flooded the surrounding areas which are
used by the farmers. Some farmers even think of leaving their land, but unfortunately they do not have a better
alternative. These melting glaciers, in fact, give us some opinion about the future of the other glaciers on earth.

The fact that the number of glaciers is decreasing is a great threat for communities that depend on ice melt.
In the short term, the results of decreasing glaciers may appear beneficial. For example, extra water from
glaciers means that hydroelectric dams will run at maximum power. In the long run, however, the melting of
Earth’s glaciers could be catastrophic. Today’s extra hydroelectric power has been stolen from the future.
Communities with more than enough power now may have none after the glaciers melt completely and stop
filling reservoirs. Likewise, water for irrigation, drinking, transportation, and nuclear power stations will slow to
the levels provided only by rainfall. The loss of ice will increase sea levels worldwide.

Temperature change and a lack of snow are causing the retreat of the glaciers. According to many scientists,
our planet is getting warmer. In the Alps, for example, temperatures have risen an average of 1-1.5 degrees
Celsius since 1850. During the same period, Alpine glaciers in Switzerland have lost about half of their total
amount. Likewise, temperatures have changed in the Tien Shan Mountains in southern Kazakhstan. Researchers
there have found a small rise in temperatures, 0.5 degrees Celsius, in the last 50 years. Even one half of a degree
is enough to reduce glaciers dramatically over time.

While temperatures have increased, snowfall has decreased. Glaciers are no longer getting built up during the
snowy winter months, so they are no longer able to maintain their size over the long run. The warming of our
globe is often blamed on human activity, such as the burning of fossil fuels, especially in industrialized nations.
Automobile emissions and industrial waste are increasing the quantity of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere,
possibly causing increased temperatures. However, scientists have not definitely tied human activity to the
current temperature rise. Most scientists share the opinion that global warming may be a normal trend of the
Earth’s temperature charts. Some other scientists argue that we are near the end of a so-called ‘Little Ice Age,’
and the reduction in the amount of the glaciers is a natural result of this cycle. Whether natural or produced by
humans, there is little hope for the immediate future of glaciers as we know them.

For some, the glaciers of Africa and Central Asia may not seem much related to daily life. But remember,
these glaciers are just the first losses in a pattern that will finally influence the whole Earth. For example, if the
glaciers feeding the great rivers of Europe evaporate completely, some rivers may run dry in the summer: the
Rhine, the Rhone, and the Po.

In the United States, tourists at Glacier National Park in Montana are already observing the superficial
impacts of the glaciers’ disappearance. Fifty years ago, viewing platforms were placed carefully throughout the
park. Form these spots, camera-happy travellers had a chance to take photographs of the beauty of these ice
giants. Today, those platforms look out onto dry beds of rock and dirt. With the reducing glaciers, the tree line is
moving up to the mountains. Soon, stream flows will slow, and food sources for fish and grizzly bears will
disappear. Unless there are some changes in the current rate of global warming which is caused by greenhouse
gases, the glaciers of the Earth will completely disappear.

Presenter Hello and welcome to ‘Cash In Hand’. Many people today believe that they will destroy their kid’s
chances of a happy life if they give them too much. These days, there are a growing number of
ordinary people who are making the decision not to give their children any inheritance for a very
different reason. First, let’s talk to successful businessman and father Jonathan Hynde who is here in
the studio today about his attitude to spending, investing, and inheritance. Welcome Jonathan.
Jonathan Hello, thank you.
Presenter So, as I said, you are a successful, self-made businessman who is choosing not to give his children
hard-earned cash. Tell us why?
Jonathan Well, let me say first. I will certainly give them some help financially (Presenter: Hmm.), but
my feeling is that I should give them enough so that they can feel that they could do anything,
but not so much that they could do nothing. And I feel very strongly about that. I don’t think it
is right that our children should be handed money on a plate through an inheritance. You just
have to look at these rich kids who inherited a lot of money and they seem to have no direction,
no purpose in life. I don’t want my children to be like that.
Presenter So, you feel that there is a real need for young people to earn their own money.
Jonathan Oh, yes, absolutely. I think it is important that my children learn how to work and earn money
for themselves. If young people do not need to have ambition and work hard, they will lose
their way.
Presenter Did you have much help financially from your parents?
Jonathan Well, no! That’s the point really. I came from a very ordinary background. I myself found a
job and have worked my way up. If I had asked my father for money, he would have just
laughed in my face and told me to go and get a job. He didn’t give me even a small amount of
money. I’m thankful for that because I think I have a better understanding of the value of
things. I’d like to pass that understanding onto my children. I think it will make them better
people in the long run.
Presenter Hmmm, thank you very much for that Jonathan. Now, there are other people who are also choosing
not to give their money to their grown-up children, but for a different reason. More and more older
people are ‘SKI-ing’ and that has nothing to do with snow and mountains. This type of skiing stands
for ‘Spending the Kid’s Inheritance’, S-K-I or ‘SKI’. Sarah Hewitt is also in the studio with us today.
She is 63 and very much part of the SKI generation. Welcome Sarah.
Sarah Thank you.
Presenter Like you, much of today’s older generation is fit and active. I think you don’t just want to sit around
home any more, with money in your bank account, waiting until your children, your grown-up
children, need it.
Sarah That’s right. My husband and I have made a decision that we have worked for many years to
bring up our children. We should be able to live life for the full and enjoy ourselves as much as
possible. We do feel a bit guilty about it, but basically we realize that if we didn’t do it, it would
be too late.
Presenter Sounds like a good idea to me. What kind of things have you been doing?
Sarah Well, mostly, we just spend a lot of time traveling and going to places that I have only dreamed
about until now. In the last year, we have been to Morocco, Mexico, Finland, and did a cruise
in the Mediterranean. (Presenter: Ohhh!). Our next big trip will be to Australia and New
Zealand which I have really been looking forward to.
Presenter Well, that’s great. But what do your children think of all this spending?
Sarah Basically, they have been very understanding about it all. Our son is 28 and says ‘Good for
you! It’s your money. You should enjoy it.’
Presenter Do you think he really thinks this way, though?
Sarah Well, yes. I think he does, although I think there is also a part of him which is worried. In the
back of his mind perhaps, there was some kind of expectation that we would provide for him in
some way, but still he feels happy for us.
Presenter Nice to hear that. It was great pleasure to talk to you Sarah. Thanks for joining us today.

57. You hear an interview with a student at a language school in Japan. What does she like most about
the experience?
Man So, what are you doing here in Japan?
Maggie I’m learning Japanese at a language school. I go to classes for just two hours a day, which is good
because I learn Japanese from Japanese teachers, and then I’m free to practice it during the rest of the
day.
Man That sounds a good idea.
Maggie It is. You see, they also organize lots of other things for you to take part in after you have finished your
language lesson. There are clubs you can join if you are interested and they really are the best part. For
example, I’m also doing a karate course taught in Japanese, which is great fun. I’m learning something
completely different in the language which I’m studying and I’m getting to know lots of Japanese people.
Man Fantastic!
Maggie Yes, if you speak a bit of the language, it is much easier to make friends.
58. You hear an expert on a television program giving advice about meeting people for the first time.
What has the most impact?
Woman In the studio tonight, we have Dr. Richard Bazey, a psychologist. Doctor Bazey, we all know
just how important it is to make a good impression on someone we are meeting for the first
time. What can we do to make sure the meeting goes really well?
Dr. Bazey Well, this is interesting. People generally think that it is words that count and they may spend quite a
lot of time thinking about how they are going to start the conversation. However, that’s not the case
at all. The fact is that before we have even opened our mouths, people have already decided what
they think of us just from our appearance alone. Then, after that, they don’t listen to what we are
saying so much as we are saying it- you know, our intonation, the tone of our voice. Only seven per
cent of first impressions are based on the actual words we hear. So, dressing carefully is probably
time well spent!
59. You hear a man and a woman talking about successful marriages. What does the man think is the
most important factor in a successful marriage?
Mandy So, Rob, congratulations! Still happily married after 25 years! What is the secret?
Rob No secret, really. A bit of give and take and consideration for each other. I mean, even if we don’t
like all of each other’s friends, at least we put up with them and don’t show it. We don’t take each
other for granted, and we have lots of things in common- I’d say that’s vital- things we like doing
together. That doesn’t mean that we are the same in character. I mean I’m rather outgoing and
dominating and I tend to go to extremes, while my wife, Liz, is more sensitive and cautious. But
that probably helps because I think we complement each other quite well.
60. You overhear two friends talking. Where are they?
Man Cheers!
Woman Cheers! And well-done for both of us. It’s good to go out and relax, isn’t it? I think we both
deserve a relaxation after working on that term project all week. It is great to have handed it in.
Man Yes, and great to be here. I’m really looking forward to seeing this play. It has had excellent reviews.
Oh! What’s the time? We don’t want to miss the beginning of the play. Do you think we should go in?
Woman I think we have got a few minutes. There’s time to finish our drinks, and I’m sure they will call us
when it is time to take our seats.
61. You hear this answer-phone message. What is the woman’s purpose for leaving the message?
Woman I’m afraid I’m not available to take your call right now. I’m out of the office until Thursday,
March the 15th, back in the office on Friday, March the 16th and then away again for the following
week. For any questions about the Jenkins project, please speak to Maria Davidson on extension
790. Otherwise, please leave a message for me following the tone, or speak to my secretary
Andrew Harvey, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. Thank you. (Tone!)
62. You overhear a woman talking to a shop assistant. What is she doing?
Woman So, it will definitely arrive on Friday before 3 pm, won’t it?
Man No, madam. As I said, we can’t guarantee it will be before 3 pm, I’m afraid.
