John Fisher, a builder, and his wife Elizabeth wanted more living space, so they left small flat for an old 40-metre high castle tower. They have spent five years turning it into a beautiful home with six floors, winning three architectural prizes.
'I love the space, and being private,'Elizabeth says. 'You feel separated from the world. If I'm in the kitchen, which is 25 metres above the groud floor, and the doorbell rings, I don't have to answer it because visitor can't see I'm in!'.
There are 142 steps to the top, so i go up and down five or six times a day, it's very good exercise! But having to carry heavy things to the top is terrible, so i never buy two bags of shopping from the supermarket at a time. Apart from that, it's a brilliant place to live.'

"Don't you hate splitting wood?" asked Charlie, as he sat down on a log to hinder Rob for a while."No, I rather like it. When I get hold of a tough old fellow, I say, 'See here, now, you think you're the stronger, and are going to beat me; so I'll split you up into kindling wood." "Pshaw!" said Charlie, laughing; "and it's only a stick of wood." "Yes; but you see I pretend it's a lesson, or a tough job of any kind, and it's nice to conquer it.""I don't want to conquer such things; I don't care what becomes of them. I wish I were a man, and a rich one." "Well, Charlie, if you live long enough you'll be a man, without wishing for it; and as for the rich part, I mean to be that myself." "You do. How do you expect to get your money? By sawing wood?" "Maybe - some of it; that's as good a way as any, so long as it lasts. I don't care how I get rich, you know, as long as it's in an honest and useful way." "I'd like to sleep over the next ten years, and wake up to find myself a young man with a splendid education and plenty of money." "Humph! I am not sleepy - a night at a time is enough for me.I mean to work the next ten yearsYou see there are things that you've got to work out - you can't sleep them out." "I hate work," said Charlie, "that is, such work as sawing and splitting wood, and doing chores. I'd like to do some big work, like being a clerk in a bank or something of that sort." "Wood has to be sawed and split before it can be burned," said Rob. "I don't know but I'll be a clerk in a bank some time; I'm working towards it. I'm keeping father's accounts for him."How Charlie laughed! "I should think that was a long way from being a bank clerk. I suppose your father sells two tables and six chairs, some days, doesn't he?" "Sometimes more than that, and sometimes not so much," said Rob, in perfect good humor."I didn't say I was a bank clerk now. I said I was working towards it. Am I not nearer it by keeping a little bit of a book than I should be if I didn't keep any book at all?"

Dear Polly,
I'm writing because I'm wondering why you've missed the last two days of school. You're never absent, so it was very surprising to me when you weren't in class. I called your house, but no one answered. I wanted to write you to check in to make sure everything is okay. Are you sick? Did your family go on vavation? If they did, that would explain why no one answered the phone.
Mrs. Egan assigned us a new project. It's a project on animals. Everyone has a partner and we have to choose a unique animal and do a presentation on it for the class. I told Mrs. Egan I'd work with you even though you weren't there. I hope that's okay with you. You should start thinking about what animal you want to study.
I really hope everything is okay with you. E-mail me or call me when you get this. I hope I see you tomorrow.
Gloria

My aunt is one of those people who can talk to anyone aout anything. If she goes to a party where she doesn't know any of the people, she just walks up to the first person that she sees and introduces herself. And yet she doesn't seem to talk about deeply important things like politics or religion. She always starts off with something very obvious like the other person's job. Very soon she's talking as if she's known the other person for years. I asked her once what her secret was. She said that the most important thing in a conversation was listening. People love to talk about themselves, so if you allow them to do, it's very easy to keep a conversation going. You have to listen very carefully and ask question. And you have to look interested, too. So don't keep looking at other things in the room while you're talking to someone.
Another thing that I've noticed is that she only pays a people compliments. She say: "I like your hair. Which hairdresser do you go to?" or "You look very well. Have you been on holiday?" Friendly messages like this seem to provide an easy way into a conversation.
1/ According to my aunt, the most important thing in a conversation was _____
A. Speaking B. Discussing C. Looking D. Listening
2/ At parties where she does not know anybody, my aunt normally
A. feels embarrased and stays away from people
B. asks people to introduce themselves to her
C. comes over to the first person and introduce herself
D. sits alone and avoids talking to other people
3/ My aunt thinks that it's very easy to keep a conversation going if you _____
A. Let people talk about themselves
B. Let people hear about yourself
C. Talk about politics or religion
D. Ask people about their secrets
4/ What should you not do when you have a conversation with someone?
A. Looking very interested in his or her story
B. Looking at other things in the room
C. Listenig very carefully and asking questions
D. Paying him or her compliments
5/ According to the passage my aunt often starts a conversation by talking about _____
