3 No one wanted the humiliation of finishing last in class, so the peer group pressure to work hard

was strong. (Para 1)

Peer group pressure is the pressure to conform that people, especially children and young people, often

4 Libraries ... were standing room only until the early hours of the morning, and guys wore the bags

under their eyes and their pale, sleepy faces with pride, like medals proving their diligence. (Para 1)

The expression standing room only means there are no more seats available because the place is crowded.

This expression is often used in public performances, for sports events and on public transport to mean

that you have to stand because the place is packed with people.

Bags under their eyes refer to loose dark areas of skin that you get when you have not had enough sleep.

The expression guys wore the bags under their eyes with pride means that the students were proud that

their tired appearance showed how hard they had been studying, and the bags under their eyes were like

medals.

5 It wasn t always the high flyers with the top grades who knew what they were going to do. (Para 2)

A high flyer refers to someone who has achieved a lot and has the ability and determination to continue to

be successful in their studies or job. In university, a high flyer is a top student.

6 Quite often it was the quieter, less impressive students who had the next stages of their life mapped

is temporary and could be changed.

To end up somewhere means to be in a particular place or state after doing something or because of it.

Here, a party activist might end up in Congress, as a result of making career progress.

10 But most people were either looking to continue their studies and then settle down with a family,

a mortgage and some hope of promotion. (Para 2)

To look to continue their studies here means to hope or expect to continue their studies whether they

can do so would probably depend on their exam results and grades. You can also look to someone for

help, advice or support.

Discovering yourself Unit 1

A mortgage is a legal agreement in which you borrow money from a bank or financial organization in

order to buy a house. You pay back your mortgage by making monthly payments, plus interest. Thus,

getting a mortgage for many young people means getting a flat or house of their own.

11 I braced myself for some resistance to the idea. (Para 10)

A brace is a piece of wood or metal which supports an object so that it does not fall down. So to

brace

oneself means to hold oneself together in readiness for something difficult or unpleasant.

To go into a career means to start working in a particular job, business or career.

Background information

The passage is taken from Everything That Happens to Me Is Good, a book of thoughts, experiences and

insights from the life of Geoff Thompson. The writer worked in many different jobs, including nine years

as a bouncer in a nightclub in London (a bouncer has the tough job of making sure that no one causes

trouble, eg if they are rude, drunk or violent). He then trained full-time in karate, judo and other martial arts

and became well-known as a martial arts instructor. He lived out his dream to become a writer, authoring

over 30 books on self-defence and self-improvement and has recently been making films and writing for the

screen. Asked what he had learnt from his years in martial arts, he said, The main thing I ve learned is that

wherever there is discomfort there is growth, but what people do is to look for growth in areas of comfort

and there s no growth in comfort. So look for areas of growth that are uncomfortable but allow you to grow,

and learn to become comfortable in those areas.

Language points

1 I have some good news and some bad news for you (as the joke goes). The bad news and I m very

sorry to be the bearer is that we are all dying. It s true. I ve checked it out. (Para 1)

Good news and bad news are often paired together in jokes and in comments on new information or recent

events where there is a mixture of positive and negative aspects, eg The good news is But the bad

news is

To check something out means to examine something or someone in order to be certain that everything is

correct, true, satisfactory or acceptable. Check this out! is an

attention-getting exclamation which means

here s something interesting to have a look at.

2 we are all going to be either coffin dwellers or trampled ash in the rose garden of some local

cemetery. (Para 1)

Coffin is a long box in which a dead person is buried. The expression

coffin dweller is a humorous way to

refer to dead people.

The expression trampled ash in the rose garden of some local cemetery refers jokingly to the ashes of a

dead person placed in a cemetery garden where people walk on the buried ashes. Discovering yourself Unit 1

3 After all, we never quite know when the hooded, scythe-carrying,

bringer-of-the-last-breath might

come-a-calling. (Para 1)

The expression the hooded, scythe-carrying, bringer-of-the-last breath refers to the reaper, a person who

reaps or cuts corn for the harvest and is a symbol of death from medieval times of the West. A reaper is

personified as a tall figure dressed in a black cloak with a hood covering his face and carrying a scythe,

a cutting tool with a long curved metal blade used for cutting, or reaping long grass or corn. The reaper

brings death or brings your last breath. The expression when the reaper arrives means when death comes

to you.

4 and nothing underlines the uncertainty and absolute frailty of humanity like the untimely exit of

a friend. (Para 1)

The word exit here means leaving this world or death. The word untimely means happening at a time that

is not suitable because it causes problems. An untimely death is too soon or when a person is young.

5 Knowing that we are all budding crypt-kickers takes away all the uncertainty of life. (Para 3)

That we are all budding crypt-kickers is a humorous way of saying that we are all potentially soon to be

buried, ie dead.

6 The prologue and epilogue are already typed in. All that s left is the middle bit ... choose the meat of

the story. (Para 3)

A prologue is a piece of writing at the start of a book, or the beginning of a play, film or TV programme

that introduces a story. An epilogue is at the end of a novel, play or piece of writing, which carries an extra

comment or extra information about what happens after the main story. Here, the writer s point is that the

prologue (birth) and epilogue (end, death) of your life are already written, but we all choose to write

the

middle bit the meat of the story.

7 So, all those plans that you have on the back burner, you know, the great things you re going to do

with your life when the time is right ? (Para 4)

A back burner is literally one of the back parts of a cooker which is used for heating or cooking food.

Metaphorically, if you put something on the back burner, it means you have decided not to do it until

later. It is at the back of the cooker, just simmering or cooking slowly, so you don t give it priority because

it doesn t need your full attention. The expression this back-burner stuff (Para 10) thus refers to things

which have low priority and get little attention.

8 There s only a promissory note that we are often not in a position to cash. (Para 5)

A promissory note is a document giving details of your promise to pay someone a particular amount of

money by a particular date. The writer means that tomorrow, or the future, is like a promissory note for

which you never get the cash, because the future never comes unless you act now and use time wisely, as

if tomorrow is today.

9 but regret and a rear-view mirror full of could haves , should haves and would haves . (Para 5)

A rear-view mirror is a mirror fixed to the front window of a car that lets the driver see what is happening

behind. Here, the mirror refers to the past, which is behind us. We don t want such a mirror full of regrets

about things we could / should / would have done, but did not do.

10 I love watching people ingeniously stack the cucumber around the side of the bowl like they re

filling a skip and then cramming it so high that they have to hire a forklift truck to get it back to

the table They just know that they only have one shot at it. (Para 6)

A skip is a large metal container used in the building industry for waste; it is carried away by a truck

when it is full.

A forklift truck is a vehicle that uses two long metal bars at the front for lifting and moving heavy objects.

The writer is using the images of a skip and a truck to emphasize how people use the opportunity to serve

themselves, because they only have one shot they only have one chance or attempt, they can t return for

more salad in this type of buffet, so they make the most of this opportunity.

11 So what I m thinking is (and this is not molecular science) (Para 10)

It means this is not specialized knowledge. It s not rocket science; it s simple and straightforward.

12 The right time is the cheque that s permanently in the post, it never arrives. (Para 10)

That the cheque is in the post means money has been sent, its on its way. This is often said as an excuse

for late payment, so if the cheque s permanently in the post, it means the money never comes.

13 It s the girl who keeps us standing at the corner of the Co-op looking like

a spanner She s stood

us up. (Para 10)

The expression looking like a spanner on the street corner means he looks awkward and out of place,

waiting for a girl who is late and never arrives.

To stand someone up means not to come to meet them when you have arranged to meet them, especially

someone with whom you are having or starting a romantic relationship. The word us is an informal and

personal way to include others who will recognize that this is a typical experience.

14 Act now or your time will elapse and you ll end up as a sepia-coloured relative that no one can put

a name to in a dusty photo album. (Para 13)

The expression you ll end up as a sepia-coloured relative means that in the end you will be only an

old half-forgotten photograph in a photo album. I can t put a name to someone is said when you halfrecognize

a person but you can t quite remember his name.

15 Better to leave a biography as thick as a whale omelette than an epitaph. (Para 14)

An omelette is flat round food made by mixing eggs together and cooking them. The expression as thick

as a whale means extremely thick. The writer means it is better to leave a very large biography than an

epitaph, or, in other words, live a full life which is worth writing about. Reading and understanding

3.Many products for sale seem to scream at us, "Buy me! Buy me!" Advertising is a big busin ess in our world with many products competing for our attention. Think of the last time you boug ht clothes. You probably noticed the variety of colors, patterns, fabrics and brands you could choo se from. Which kind of soft drink would you like to have today or what kind of computer do you want? Advertisers are skilled in the art of making their products look the best to appeal to our se nses. But products aren't always what they seem. Sometimes advertising is deceptive and as cons umers ,we must be careful about what we choose to buy. It is important to learn to compare prod ucts and identify our purpose in purchasing the things we need. But the good thing about advertising is that it helps people to make decisions and refine thei r choices. In the United States, the Ad Council creates timely public service messages to the nation. Th eir purpose is to raise awareness of public problems that citizens can respond to. Inspiring ads ca use individuals to take action and even save lives. Pollution in America, for example has been red uced over the years because of the creative Public Service advertisements that the council provid es" Please, please don't be a litter bug, 'cause every 'litter bit' hurts."
