LIVING IN THE USA Roberto came from Acapulco to New York ten years ago. At first he missed everything – the sunshine, the food, his girlfriend. But now he has a successful business with his three brothers and his sister. They run a soccer store in New Brunswick. Roberto’s girlfriend is now his wife, and they have two children who go to American schools. When asked why he came to the US, Roberto says without hesitation, ‘Because I want to work hard and be successful.’ He certainly works hard. He’s at the store all day, then works as a driver in the evening. ‘That’s why I like America,’ he says. ‘You can be what you want.’ ‘When I first came here, I didn’t speak the language, and it was winter. It was so cold! There was snow! Now nearly all my family are here, not only in New York, but also in California, and in Texas. We meet about once a month and have a huge Mexican meal that takes about five hours! We’re all happy here.’ 5 A Is he studying for his exams at the moment? B Yes, he is.

He then went back to bed. His parents didn’t know about the burglary until they got up the next day.

They asked him his name, and told him they were friends of the family. Unfortunately, Russell believed them. They asked him where the video recorder was. Russell showed them, and said they had a stereo and a CD player, too. The two men carried these to the kitchen. Russell also told them that his mother kept her purse in a drawer in the kitchen, so they took that. Russell even gave them his pocket money – 50p. 12 U N I T 3 Test A New Headway Pre-Intermediate © Oxford University Press PHOTOCOPIABLE Headway-Pre-Int_pp02-39[05] 2/10/02 2:39 pm Page 13 NAME: 5 Complete the conversation with at, in, or on.

It’s called Nowy Świat (pronounced /nQvI SvI@t/), which means New World. An incredible 14,000 Poles walk down this main street every hour. It is a lovely place to shop. The pavements are very wide. There are statues, palaces, attractive town houses, exclusive cafés, and high-class restaurants. The buildings aren’t too tall. They look old, but in fact the whole city was rebuilt after World War II. There aren’t any billboards or neon lights. There isn’t any loud music, and there aren’t many tourists. People think that Polish shops have nothing to sell, so nobody comes shopping here. The world doesn’t know about this paradise for shoppers – yet. It is now possible to buy almost everything in Warsaw. There are a lot of shops from the West, but the interesting thing is that Polish manufacturers are now producing high quality goods. They are good because they are not mass produced for world consumption. Nowy Świat has a lot of small shops, specialist shops, and chic shops. It hasn’t got the huge department stores that sell the same things everywhere. New Headway Pre-Intermediate © Oxford University Press PHOTOCOPIABLE Headway-Pre-Int_pp02-39[05] 2/10/02 2:39 pm Page 17 NAME: If you want an exquisite handmade suit, Nowy Świat is the place to go. It isn’t cheap. You will pay up to £1,000. For beautiful French baby clothes, go to Petit Bateau. You will pay £50 for a pair of blue jeans for a baby. A dress for a baby girl is about £90. At Désa, a famous antique shop, a desk costs £5,000, and a 19th century Russian icon is £200. Not everything is expensive. At the shop Pantera you can buy leather goods – handbags, purses, coats, and belts. Cepelia specializes in folk art. There are also book shops and record shops. And there are a lot of small boutiques that sell men’s and women’s clothes that aren’t too expensive. If you’re tired, stop at Café Blikle. This is a fashionable place to meet. You’ll find a lively atmosphere, and a lot of well-known Poles. The frozen yoghurt and ice-creams are excellent, and its famous doughnuts are delicious. It is possible to travel the world and find the same things for sale in every country. But Warsaw is different because its shops are unique – and they’re in Nowy Świat . 1 Nowy Świat is a town in Poland. ___ 2 There are some famous old buildings in Nowy Świat. ___ 3 Nowy Świat has a lively atmosphere. ___ 4 Most of the people shopping here are Poles. ___ 5 Polish goods are sold in many countries. ___ 5 changing / rooms / there / are / over / the 6 there / left / any / aren’t / I’m / afraid 2 points for each correct answer 10 7 Translate these sentences. 1 There are some carrots but there aren’t any tomatoes. 2 A Are there any vegetables?

GROWING UP IN LOS ANGELES 10 After school he ’s going to study / will study medicine. 1 point for each correct answer 20 10 In Hollywood, everybody wants to be rich, famous, and beautiful. Nobody wants to be old, unknown, and poor. For Hollywood kids, life can be difficult because they grow up in such an unreal atmosphere. Their parents are ambitious, and the children are part of the parents’ ambitions. Parents pay for extravagant parties, expensive cars, and designer clothes. When every dream can come true, kids learn the value of nothing because they have everything. A 13-year-old boy, Trent Maguire, has a driver, credit cards, and unlimited cash to do what he wants when he wants. ‘One day, I’ll earn more than my Dad,’ he boasts. Parents buy care and attention for their children because they have no time to give it themselves. Amanda’s mother employs a personal trainer, a nutritionist, a bodyguard/chauffeur, a singing coach, and a counsellor to look after all her 15-year-old daughter’s needs. Often there is not parent at home most days, so children decide whether to make their own meals or go out to restaurants, when to New Headway Pre-Intermediate © Oxford University Press PHOTOCOPIABLE Headway-Pre-Int_pp02-39[05] 2/10/02 2:39 pm Page 21 NAME: 7 Translate these sentences. watch television or do homework.

HETTY GREEN Henrietta (Hetty) Green was a very spoilt, only child. She was born in Massachusetts, USA, in 1835. Her father was a millionaire businessman. Her mother was often ill, and so from the age of two her father took her with him to work and taught her about stocks and shares. At the age of six she started reading the daily financial newspapers and she opened her own bank account. Her father died when she was 21 and she inherited $7.5 million. She went to New York and invested on Wall Street. Hetty saved every penny, eating in the cheapest restaurants for 15 cents. She became one of the richest and most hated women in the world. She was called ‘The Witch of Wall Street’. At 33 she married Edward Green, a multi-millionaire, and had two children, Ned and Sylvia. Hetty’s meanness was legendary. She always argued about prices in shops. She walked to the local grocery store to buy broken cookies (biscuits) which were much cheaper, and to get a free bone for her much-loved dog, Dewey. Once she lost a two-cent stamp and spent the night looking for it. She never bought clothes and always wore the same long, ragged black skirt. Worst of all, when her son Ned fell and injured his knee, she refused to pay for a doctor and spent hours looking for free medical help. In the end Ned’s leg was amputated. When she died in 1916 she left her children $100 million (worth $9.3 billion today). Her daughter built a hospital with her money. 1 Hetty came from a big family. _____ A B 2 A What was your hotel like? B It was big and modern. I really liked it.

CHER A Cher was born in the US on 20 May 1946 in El Centro, which is on the California/Mexico border. Her full name is Cherilyn Sarkisian and she is part-Cherokee and part-Armenian, Turkish, and French. She left high school when she was 16 and went to Los Angeles, where she planned to take acting lessons. There she met Salvatore Bono, who was working at the Gold Star Studios where Phil Spector was recording many famous singers. He discovered that Cher could sing, and they became the singing duo Sonny and Cher. Their first hit song was ‘I got you, babe’, which topped the charts in 1965. Cher was still only 19. They got married and had a daughter, who they called Chastity. In 1975 Sonny and Cher were divorced, and later that year Cher married Greg Allman, who was another famous rock star. But two years later Cher was divorced for the second time because of Allman’s drink and drugs problems. She decided to turn to acting again. In 1982 she appeared in her first major film, ‘Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean’, which was well received by the critics and public. She went to on win Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival in 1985 for her role in ‘Mask’, and finally she won an Oscar for ‘Moonstruck’ in 1987. 1 Cher can speak Turkish and French. ____ 2 From a young age Cher wanted to act. ____ 3 Cher’s first husband was a singer. ____ B 4 I’ve known my best friend for years.

MISS CHANEL She’s 14, American, and speaks no French at all. But six-foot-tall Kimora Lee Perkins is hot news in Paris. She has become the top model at the Parisian fashion house of Chanel. She owes her famous looks to a Korean mother and a black father. But when she was young, back home in St. Louis, Missouri, she cried when she looked in the mirror and saw how tall she was. ‘I felt I was different from all the other kids my age,’ she explains. Her mother Joanne Perkins, 34, recalls, ‘Kimora was a miserable child. It was almost impossible for her to feel like other girls of her age, and some girls were cruel. Growing up was a very painful experience for her.’ When she was 11, her mother took her to a local modelling school. She thought modelling would be an interesting job because then she would be with other tall girls. She began to like it very much, and had to learn how to walk and pose to show the clothes at their best. Chanel chose her because ‘she has the look of the new century’, and now she spends eight to ten hours a day modelling their latest fashions in various parts of the world. ‘I have to try really hard to keep looking good for the cameras,’ she said. 2 I’m a teacher so I don’t have to work at weekends. 3 We had to study Latin when we were at school. 4 A I made a lot of mistakes in my homework.

MEGALOPOLIS The town of Shenzhen, just forty kilometres north of Hong Kong, is the world’s biggest building site. In 1982 it was a fishing village with two main roads, fields, and a population of 30,000. Now it has a population of 3 million. It is growing at an incredible speed. It is spreading north towards Guangzhou (also known as Canton) and west towards Macau. The Chinese government hopes that in less than ten years this area will be the biggest city on earth, with a population of 40 million people. China is changing. It is no longer a country where absolutely everything is owned and controlled by the state. Developers are welcome. As Deng Xiaoping, the Chinese leader, said in 1992, ‘To get rich is glorious.’ The old China of bicycles and Little Red Books is disappearing. A world of mobile phones and capitalism is arriving. The Chinese people seem to welcome dramatic change. They don’t worry about losing traditional ways of life. They want the new. As the posters on the sides of the highways shout, ‘Development is the only way.’ Shenzhen is a shocking place, like nowhere else on earth that I have ever seen. It is a city with no boundaries and no centre. There are new concrete office blocks, factories, and housing blocks as far as the eye can see. Not just dozens of new buildings, or even hundreds, but thousands. And it is all happening so fast. It takes just six months to design, build, and finish a 60-storey, air-conditioned skyscraper. As one architect said to me, ‘If you move too slowly here, someone will walk over you.’ The new Hopewell Highway runs from Shenzhen to Guangzhou, and it takes just two hours to do the 123 kilometres. This superhighway will become the main street of a huge new city, as it gets bigger and bigger until the east meets the west, and the countryside in the middle disappears under concrete. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Shenzhen is the largest city in the world. In the past Shenzhen was a building site. Shenzhen is getting bigger very quickly. The Chinese government is worried that too many people live there. The government owns everything in China. More people are buying bicycles now than in the past. The Chinese people want a different way of life. There are dozens of new buildings in Shenzhen. It takes two hours to drive from Shenzhen to Guangzhou. One day there will be no countryside near Shenzhen. 2 points for each correct answer New Headway Pre-Intermediate © Oxford University Press 2 If he misses the last train, he’ll spend the night in a hotel. 3 A What will you do if the weather is bad on holiday?

Are the statements true (✓) or false (✗)? INTO THE WILD When Chris McCandless graduated from Emory University, Atlanta, in June 1990, he sent his parents a letter containing his final reports. His letter ended ‘Say ‘Hi’ to everyone for me.’ No one in Chris’s family ever heard from him again. He drove west out of Atlanta, and invented a new life for himself with a new name. He left his car in some woods and burned all his money, because, as he wrote in his diary, ‘I need no possessions. I can survive with just nature.’ For the next two years, he hitched to various parts of the United States and Mexico. He wanted the freedom to go where he wanted and work when he needed. For him, his life was very rich. ‘God, it’s great to be alive. Thank you! Thank you!’ his diary reads. Chris came from a comfortable background. His father had a business which he ran efficiently, and he controlled his own family in a similar way. Chris and his father didn’t get on. When his parents didn’t hear from him for several months, they contacted the police, but they could do nothing. In July 1992, two years after Chris left Atlanta, his mother woke in the middle of the night. ‘I could hear Chris calling me. I wasn’t dreaming. He was begging, ‘Mom! Help me!’ But I couldn’t help him because I didn’t know where he was.’ Chris’s dream was to spend some time in Alaska, and this is where he went in April 1992. In early May, after a few days in the Alaskan bush, Chris found an old bus which hunters used for shelter. It had a bed and a stove. He decided to stay there a while. ‘Total freedom,’ he wrote. ‘My home is the road.’ However, reality soon changed the dream. He was hungry, and it was difficult to find enough to eat. He shot ducks, squirrels, birds, and sometimes a moose, and with these he ate wild potatoes, wild mushrooms, and berries. He was losing a lot of weight. On July 30 he wrote, ‘Extremely weak. Fault of potato seed. Can’t stand up. Starving. Danger.’ It seems that Chris was eating a part of the wild potato plant that was poisonous. He couldn’t get out of the bus to look for food. ‘I am trapped in the wild,’ he wrote on August 5. He became weaker and weaker as he was starving to death. His final note says, ‘I have had a good life and thank the Lord. Goodbye and may God bless all!’ Then he crawled into his sleeping bag and lost consciousness. He probably died on August 18. One of the last things he did was to take a photo of himself, one hand holding his final note, the other hand raised in a brave goodbye. His face is horribly thin, but he is smiling in the picture, and the look in his eyes says ‘I am at peace.’ 1 The last time Chris’s parents heard from him was in June 1990. ____ 2 Chris was an inventor. ____ 3 Chris drove to Mexico. ____ 4 Chris’s parents weren’t poor. ____ 5 Chris didn’t have a good relationship with his father. ____ 6 Chris phoned his mother to ask for help. ____ 7 Chris lived with some hunters in Alaska. ____ 8 Chris died because of something he ate. ____ 9 Chris was a religious person. ____ 10 Someone took a photo of Chris before he died. 2 points for each correct answer 40 U N I T 1 0 Test A New Headway Pre-Intermediate © Oxford University Press ____ 20 PHOTOCOPIABLE Headway-Pre-Int_pp40-79[05] 2/10/02 2:41 pm Page 41 NAME: 4 Complete the sentences with the correct form of verb. 6 Translate these sentences. going 1 Do you enjoy (go ) ___________ to the theatre? 1 We used to visit our grandparents every Sunday. 2 I managed (do) ___________ all the shopping before lunch. 3 My husband hates (choose) ___________ presents. 4 He’s decided (buy) ___________ a house near the sea. 2 Did you use to smoke when you were a teenager? 5 Would you like something (read) ___________ ? 6 They hope (spend) ___________ a week in New York. 3 Who did you meet at the airport? 7 Julie enjoys (learn) ___________ Greek. 8 The film star doesn’t like (speak) ___________ to journalists. 9 We invited her (come) ___________ to the cinema with us. 10 She started (feel) ___________ frightened when the door shut behind her. 4 When did you hear from him? 5 Were you surprised at the end of the film? 11 Pete would like (open) ___________ a restaurant in town. 2 points for each correct answer 20 5 Complete the sentences with a word from the box.
