Read the text about cell phone use among American teenagers. Then
decide if the statements are true, false or not given in the text. Tick
the correct box. There is an example at the beginning (0).
Boom in texts among US teenagers
Texting has become the most popular form of communication among young
people in the US, research indicates.
The study, by the Pew Internet and American Life Project, suggests that texting
has eclipsed mobile phone calls among teenagers for the first time.
More than 30% of teens send more than 100 texts a day, it shows.
Researchers say more payment plans offering unlimited texts have helped to
create the surge in the US, which used to lag other parts of the world.
The study found that two-thirds of teenagers are now more likely to text their
friends than call them on the phone.
Girls on average send or receive more texts than boys – 80 messages per day
compared to 30.
"Texting is now the central hub of communication in the lives of teens today,
and it has really skyrocketed in the last 18 months," said Amanda Lenhart, a coauthor of the report.
The study's authors said teenagers preferred texting to phone calls because it
could be carried out under the noses of parents, teachers or other authority
figures.
However, the study found that phone calls are still teenagers' preferred method
for contacting their parents.

24 Golden Gate Bridge
Read the text. Then complete the table below using numbers and feet,
kilos, miles, years, minutes, etc. when needed. There is an example at the
beginning (0).
The construction of the Golden Gate Bridge
began on January 5, 1933. The bridge
opened to pedestrian traffic four and one
half years later on May 27, 1937. It opened
with a grand celebration and vehicles were
allowed on the roadway the following day.
The cost of building the bridge was 35.5
million dollars. It is constructed with two
towers, 746 feet (227m) tall, from which two
main cables, 36½ inches (.92 m) in
diameter, are strung. At 50 foot intervals
steel rope hangs from the two cables to
support the concrete roadway and
sidewalks below. The Golden Gate Bridge
is a connecting link on U.S. Highway 101
stretching from Mexico to Canada along the
Pacific Coast. The bridge connects the City
and County of San Francisco to the south
and Marin County and other California
destinations to the north.

Dear Walker
Public Right of Way No. 37 (PROW 37)
The definitive route of PROW 37 crosses the golf driving range.
You are absolutely entitled to walk this route.
We are offering (and would strongly recommend) an alternative route which is
safer for walkers as it crosses only one fairway whereas the definitive route
crosses two fairways (and the golf driving range). You have our permission to
walk this alternative route.
The alternative route is 125m longer than the definitive route. At an average
walking speed of 3mph this will add 1½ minutes to your journey.
(At average reading speed it will have taken you 1 minute to read this notice.
Please accept our apologies for delaying you on your journey.)

26 TV Journal
Read Dana's journal to find out what she has learned during TV Turnoff
Week. Match each day (0 to 6) with one of her statements (a to i). You may
use each statement only once. There are two more statements than you
need. There is an example at the beginning (0).
0. Tuesday, 4:30 pm: I go over to the house of my "little sister" Alejandre,
whom I mentor. But Alejandre wants to watch her favorite show. I am saved
when her mom tells her we won't have time to go to the mall unless her
homework is done first.
1. Wednesday, 6:45 pm: I'm at home with my brother Aaron and my mom.
Aaron always has the TV on during dinner, and it takes convincing to get
him to do otherwise. But I stay strong.
2. Thursday, 10:20 pm: The war in Iraq has started, and I'm in the living room
as my mom turns on the news. I remind her I won't watch TV and I leave the
room. It feels silly to keep my TV turnoff plan when there is breaking news.
But I know that there are other sources for news.
3. Friday, 9:05 am: My first class is biology. The teacher has set up a
television, and turns on a program on the Learning Channel. At first I think
this is breaking my TV turnoff pledge. I discuss it with a friend, and we agree
this does not count.
4. Saturday, 10:00 pm: I'm on a date, and we are not hitting it off. It's still early,
but there is no way I'm going to ask him over to my house for fear of the
painful conversation and horrible silences without TV. The date ends early.
5. Sunday, 11:46 pm: I try to finish the last pages of A Prayer for Owen Meany.
It feels good to finish this 617-page book, especially since I'd written three
essays on it a month ago.
6. Monday, 6:35 pm: It is already my last day without TV and I barely notice the
time. It wasn't that bad after all!
