The readers of an American TV guide have voted Anne Robinson the Rudest Woman on American TV. She has won the title because of the unkind way she speaks to contestants in the game show. The Wakest Link. Most people wouldn’t want this honor but Ms. Robinson is proud of it because it makes her different from the friendly hosts on other game shows.
The game is simple: a group of contestants answer general knowledge questions and “bank” money if they answer correctly. During the game, the contestants vote off other players. As each person leaves the TV studios, Anne Robinson says her famous catch-phrase, “You are the Weakest Link, good-bye”. At the end, there is one person left and he or she wins all the money.
More than six million viewers watch the Weakest Link. Some of them are interested in the game but a lot of them watch the program because they enjoy seeing the host insult the contestants.

A recent survey of American car – owners shows that money can buy happiness. The owner of a marketing company paid for the report which asked Are people happy in their cars? What makes them happy? and In which areas of the country are people happiest? Respondents graded their happiness from one to ten, with one being extremely miserable, and ten being extremely happy. Surprisingly, more than a third – an astonishing nine million people – gave themselves 10/10 for happiness.
The research shows that people become happier as they get older and that those with expensive cars are happier than those with cheaper ones. The happiest people are retired and have plenty of money. Geography also plays a part; on the West Coast 50% of car–owners gave the maximum score and in the south 43% are really smiling. Only 26% of people in the northeast gave themselves 10/10 while in New York the figure was about 30%. In general, people in the country are happier than people in cities and towns.
Professor Mark Jones who specializes in the economics of happiness commented on the research and said that the results are not surprising: driving is central to people´s happiness and quality of their car makes a real difference in how they feel. He also commented that the fact that people are happier when they are older is good news for people over forty.

Gertrude Stein was an unconventional woman.Born in the US in 1874, she spent her early childhood in Europe but her family later returned to live in California. As a young woman, she studied psychology and medicine before returning to Paris to become a writer. Her Paris home soon became a center for creative people in the 1920s and 30s.
Although Gertrude Stein had her own career as a modernist writer she is better known for being the friend of some of the 20th century´s most famous artists and writers. She bought paintings from artists like Picasso and Matisse before they were famous. Her opinions on art and literature were respected so a word from her could make or break a career.
Gertrude Stein´s writing was sometimes so difficult and complicated that it was almost impossible to understand. However, she did write some simpler books and Three Lives (1909) is thought to be her masterpiece. Her best-known book is The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, which is mainly about herself and not really about Alice B. Toklas, her life-long partner.

Although going to live in another country can be an exciting adventure it is sometimes a difficult experience. Everything is new and different: big things like the language and culture and smaller things like where to buy stamps or when banks are open. For adults who are used to being in control of their world all this can make them feel helpless, confused, and frustrated.
There are usually several stages that newcomers have to go through before they can feel at home in their new environment. After the initial excitement of arriving, the reality of living there can make people feel angry and impatient – and they may even blame their new home for these feelings. As the new arrivals begin to understand their new home better, they start to feel less confused and anxious and eventually they settle in.
Ironically, when the people return to their own culture, they may go through the experience in reverse and find that they don´t feel at home in their own country.
a. Living in another country is always difficult.
b. Living in a strange place can make people feel bad.

My name is Jack Evans and I am 31 years old. I come from Texas, where my Family still lives. However, in recent years, I have traveled the world working for Planete Sante. Planete Sante is an international aid organization that supplies emergency medical help to people who live in countries with poor health care. 
I have been with the organizations for almost three years and in that time I have worked in several places. My first job was in Africa, after that I spent a year in Afghanistan and recently I´ve come back to Africa to set up a health center in a refugee camp. In the camp, there are thousands of people who have been made homeless by the wars in the area. Many of the refugees have been living there for years and many of the children have never known another home. My work includes training staff, day-to-day health care, organizing a vaccination program and setting up a feeding program for malnourished children.
My work has sometimes been heartbreaking but it is rewarding as well. I realize that I am very lucky to have been born in a country that is comparatively safe. Would I give up my job? No, definitely not. I can´t imagine that anything else will ever be as challenging, interesting, or rewarding.
