o
ne evening I attended a seminar and heard
a man speak. He explained that the mind thinks
in pictures, not in words. He said that we can
make our dreams become reality. We just have
to follow six easy steps.

your life.

want in your life.
3 Cut out pictures from magazines of the
things on your list.
4 Put your pictures in a photo album.
5 Wait for your dreams to become reality.
6 Remember, there are no impossible
dreams.
So I thought about what I wanted in life and I
wrote a dream list. After that, I cut up old
magazines and arranged pictures of my dream
list in a photo album. Then I sat back and
waited.

Happy Birthday Mr. President …
In May 1962, Marilyn Monroe sang
‘Happy Birthday, Mr. President’ at
John Kennedy's birthday celebration
in New York.
She wore a skin-tight dress made of
silk and covered in 6,000 beads. It
cost her $ 12,000. Her hair dresser said'
Marilyn was amazingly beautiful that
night, like a vision.
37 years later, Christies of New York
held a ' Private property of Marilyn
Monroe ' auction. 1,500 items of
Marilyn's property were sold, including
the famous dress.
When Christies looked for a model
to wear the dress at the auction, they
were surprised to find that the 1 metre
68 actress was very
Lexis: big numbers
slim. ‘One of the smallest mannequins
we found in the United States was still
not the correct size for the Happy
Birthday dress', they said. ‘Marilyn was
much smaller than people realized'.
When a collector bought the dress
for $ 1,150.000, it became the most
expensive dress in the world. The
buyer said that it was cheaper than
he expected. He was prepared to
pay $ 3,000,000. ' I stole it ', he said.
There are few photos of Marilyn
singing ' Happy Birthday, Mr President ',
but it was her last memorable public
performance. She died three months
later at the age of 36.

His long dark hair is a symbol of his gypsy ancestry. He was born in 1969 in
Córdoba, southern Spain and moved to Madrid when he was five.
2__________
He sleeps for five or six hours a night and wakes up full of energy.
3__________
Cortés practises for more than five hours a day. His dance is so energetic that he
loses two kilogrammes during each performance.
4__________
He has a passion for women, but relationships are difficult beacuse he is married to
his work. His family is the most important to him – he sees them as often as possible.
5__________
When he isn’t performing, he eats three times a day. But when he is performing, he
drinks coffee with milk all day and eats dinner late in the evening.
6__________
Like a true gypsy, he travels all the time. But his method of transportation is not
traditional – he travels by plane.
7__________
Cortés became interested in dance at the age of seven. His uncle, a flamenco dancer,
was his hero. At the age of twelve, he was part of a TV ballet troupe, and at fifteen
he was a member of Spain’s National Ballet company. Now Cortés buys a new pair
of flamenco shoes every month.

Revenge is sweet
Dinner by post
When Lady Sally Moon found out that her
husband was having an affair, she didn't leave
him. She thought it was better to be unhappily
married than not married at all. But her husband
didn't hide his affair, and this made her feel
really bad.
Last year, I went out with Hermione for four
months. We were very different. I always arrived
early; she always arrived late. I was very tidy; she
was terribly untidy. But to be honest, I found the
differences rather attractive.
One day she was driving home when she saw
his car parked outside his lover's house. She was
angry and she decided to get her revenge. She
quickly drove home, put a pot of paint into her
car and drove to the lover's house.
Then she poured thick white paint all over her
husband's beautiful new black car.
Next, she carefully took his collection of fine
wines from the cellar. That night she went
round the village where she lived, and quickly
placed a bottle of wine on the each doorstep.
She left the other bottles on the war memorial in
the centre of the village.
Finally, she took a pair of scissor and cut off the
arms and legs of all his suits – 38 of them in all.
3
At first, she was only fifteen or twenty minutes
late. But she got later and later.
At the end of August, it was my birthday. I'm a
good cook, so I decided to have a dinner party and
I invited four friends.
That evening, my four friends arrived on time, but
unsurprisingly Hermione wasn't there at eight
o'clock. But then she wasn't there at nine o'clock,
half past nine or ten o'clock.
This was extremely late, even for Hermione. So I
phoned her mobile. When she answered, music
was playing loudly in the background. ‘Where are
you?' I shouted angrily.' I'm at night club', she
shouted back. I was furious. I went to the kitchen
and put her meal into a plastic bag.
The next morning I posted it to her with a note
saying,' Here your dinner.' A week later I got a
postcard from Hermione. It said, ' Too much salt'.

Virus Alert
Date: 11-31-88 (24:60) Number: 32769
To: ALL Refer#: NONE
Subj: VIRUS ALERT
From: ROBERT MORRIS III Read: (N/A)
Status: PUBLIC MESSAGE
Warning: There's a new virus on the loose that's worse than anything I've seen before! It gets in
through the power line, riding on the powerline 60 Hz subcarrier. It works by changing the serial port
pinouts, and by reversing the direction one's disks spin. Over 300,000 systems have been hit by it here
in Murphy, West Dakota alone! And that's just in the last 12 minutes.
It attacks DOS, Unix, TOPS-20, Apple-II, VMS, MVS, Multics, Mac, RSX-11, ITS, TRS-80, and
VHS systems.
To prevent the spresd of the worm:
1) Don't use the powerline.
2) Don't use batteries either, since there are rumors that this virus has invaded most major battery
plants and is infecting the positive poles of the batteries. (You might try hooking up just the negative
pole.)
3) Don't upload or download files.
4) Don't store files on floppy disks or hard disks.
5) Don't read messages. Not even this one!
6) Don't use serial ports, modems, or phone lines.
7) Don't use keyboards, screens, or printers.
8) Don't use switches, CPUs, memories, microprocessors, or mainframes.
9) Don't use electric lights, electric or gas heat or airconditioning, running water, writing, fire,
clothing or the wheel.
I'm sure if we are all careful to follow these 9 easy steps, this virus can be eradicated, and the precious
electronic fluids of our computers can be kept pure.

1 It’s called the Diamante and it costs £23,000.
It’s made of gold and diamonds and there are
only seven of them in the whole world. The
people who bought these incredibly expensive
mobile phones include a Saudi prince and an
Italian football player.

The Italian soccer star paid cash, and he
came to pick it up in his red Ferrari Testarossa.
The Saudi prince bought one for his wife when
she fell in love with it after seeing a picture in
a magazine.
2 The famous Old Homestead restaurant in New
York introduced a new dish this week: the
Kobe burger. It’s the first time the 135-yearold steak house has offered a hamburger on its
menu. But its no ordinary hamburger. At $ 41
its probably the most expensive hamburger in
the world.
And what makes it so special? Well, its
made with Kobe beef from Japan. Kobe beef
is made from the meat of cows that drink beer
every day. They also have daily massages to
make sure their meat is soft and tender.
3 It’s made with two types of champagne, it’s
bright blue in colour and the barman serves it
to you on a special musical throne. He
suggests that you share it with a group of
friends. And it’s certainly true that the size and
the price make it difficult, if not impossible, to
drink it on your own.
So, where can you buy this extravagant
drink? At the stylish Radisson SAS Royal
Hotel in the centre of Copenhagen. And
exactly how much does it cost? It costs 3000
Kroner, approximately 400 euros - so start
saving now!
e) loved
shoped

Have you ever bought a book or a CD on
the internet?
If the answer is ‘ yes’ you probably bought it from
amazon.com. Amazon has more than 25 million
customers in 150 countries around the world. The
company employs 8,000 people.
The founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, set up the
company with $ 300,000 that he borrowed from
his parents. Five years later, the company sold $
1.6 billion of books, and Time magazine chose
Bezos as its person of the Year. But this was only
the start.
Online selling is a difficult business and most
companies do not succeed. For Amazon, too, the
first years were difficult, but Bezos did not give
up. Why has Amazon been so successful? At the
beginning, Amazon had no advertising. New
customers heard of the website through word of
mouth. They returned again and again because
their experience was so positive. It’s a friendly
site, payment is easy and the books arrive fast
.
Amazon continues to grow. You can now buy
DVDs and videos, mobile phones and computers,
clothes, toys and wine. Bezos and the company
are worth billions of dollars. Bezos is not forty
years old yet. What does he want to do next? ‘ I
would love to go into space,’ he says. The last
thing that he bought from Amazon was a book
about rocket design.

the world. Naomi - what is it like?
Naomi Hard, very hard. We cross mountains and
volcanoes, glaciers and ice fields. And it's dark.
Seventeen hours of every day in the dark - it's
because it's so far north.
Interviewer And cold, I imagine.
Naomi Cold? It's really freezing. We're in the
Arctic Circle and the race starts in February.
Temperature is sometimes 40 degrees below zero.
You cannot imagine how cold that is. But for the
dogs, it's not a problem.
