a Read the first two paragraphs of the article and answer the

questions.

What does EA mean? Why don’t the old race labels work any more?

b Read paragraph three.

What’s going to happen in the next decade?

c Read paragraph four.

Complete the definition. A “wigga” is

d Read paragraph five.

Is Beyoncé’s hair naturally blonde?

e Read paragraph six.

Do you agree with the conclusions? Is your generation EA? Are there many mixed race students in your school?

Do you know any wiggas?

Forget black, forget white. EA is what’s hot!

1 EA means “ethnically ambiguous” and describes a new generation.2 If you talk to many young people today, it soon becomes clear that they don’t think much aboutrace or color. Mario, a student from Miami, says: “Black and white people interact so much that wehave lost the distinction.” Rachel, a young nurse from Los Angeles, agrees. “Trying to define peopleby the old race labels doesn’t work any more. Look at the people around you. We are the newblended youth.”3 Mario and Rachel and millions like them are part of a new group called Generation EthnicallyAmbiguous (generation EA for short). It reflects the demographic reality of countries like the UnitedStates and Britain. In the last census, seven million Americans identified themselves as members ofmore than one race, or members of “no race.” In ten years, “mixed race” is going to become thebiggest ethnic minority group.4 White teenagers are adopting black lifestyles and culture in fashion, looks, music, sports andlanguage. Black urban culture has become everybody’s culture, says journalist Paul McKenzie. Itrepresents the triumph of the black community. In the past, a young white person who copied blackstyle was sometimes called a “wigga,” a negative term back then. Now wiggas are every place. Theextremely cool Justine Timberlake and Eminem are famous wiggas.5 EA is very hot now. Beyoncé, a black American, dyes her hair blonde, Cristina Aguileraaccentuates her Latin American roots with her black hair, and multiracial bands like the Sugarbabesare more popular every day.

6The barriers between black and white are disappearing. People don’t make a distinction nowbecause the distinction isn’t there—culturally and sometimes even physically!, concludes NickLeader. We are the new mix. We are the remix generation.

It means “ethnically ambiguous.”

It’s also good to seethese two actors together—what a team! If you like surfing, skydiving and other wild sports—and you like a good detective story, too—this is a movie you must see! ��

b ____________ is like Die Hard but filmed on a mountain … All the familiar characteristics are there:the one-liners, the international bad guys, big shoot-outs, etc. The tension never reaches the levelsof Die Hard, but it’s still enjoyable, if you like this sort of thing. And if you get bored by the sameold stuff, you can always look at the magnificent scenery! ��

c ____________ Action, culture and romance in one movie—a legendary warrior retires, but comesback into action to fight against his old enemy. Based on Asian martial arts, the incredible fightsequences are a brilliant mix of dances with swords and video games … Amazing! ��

d ____________ If you like your action movies to be about sports, this one might be for you! All-American heroes and antiheroes do battle on the football field while the bosses try to make asmuch money as possible. I think you need to know something about the sport to enjoy this movie,but it’s pretty entertaining anyway. ��

Night was coming and a breeze was blowing Larry out tosea while a helicopter was following him.

Five hundred years ago…in Germany, in a town called Hamelin by the Weser River,there was an invasion of rats. There were rats of everykind: big rats, small rats, black and gray; they wereeverywhere. They fought the dogs, killed the cats, bit the babies and ate all the food they could find.

Terrified, the people of Hamelin went to see the Mayor.While they were in the Town Hall, a very strange manappeared. Tall and thin, with long blond hair and brightblue eyes, the man was wearing a tunic and a hat with afeather in it.

“I can make all the creatures living under the sun followme so you will never see them again. People call me thePied Piper!” he said, touching his pipe. He continued: “Iam only a poor piper, but my pipe has freed othercountries of plagues. If I can free your town of rats, willyou give me a thousand guilders?”

“Only a thousand? We’ll give you fifty thousand!”exclaimed the Mayor.

So, the Pied Piper walked into the streets and took out his pipe. With three high notes—peep, peep, peep!—hewoke up all the rats. Suddenly, there were hundreds ofrats in the streets following the Piper. Big and small, fatand tall, young and old, mothers and their families, all therats followed the Piper, dancing happily. He danced withthem, playing his pipe and guiding them into the WeserRiver—where they all danced in and drowned!

When the Piper asked for his fifty thousand guilders, theMayor told him that the town had no money. “What isdead cannot return,” laughed the Mayor. “We’ll give youjust fifty guilders. Good-bye!”

The angry Pied Piper walked into the streets and took outhis pipe. With three high notes—peep, peep, peep!—hewoke up all the children. Suddenly, there were hundredsof children in the streets, following the Piper. All thechildren of the town were there, dancing to the Piper’smusic. He danced with them, playing his pipe and guidingthem up a mountain and into a cave. The cave closed andthey disappeared—forever!

The people of Hamelin were devastated. They never sawtheir children again. If only they had kept their promise.

The Eden Project is a giant interactive park in Cornwall, in the Southwest of England, 270 km

from

London. Opened in March 2001, the Eden Project is entertaining and educational. It combines

science, technology and art and is a fabulous place to find answers to all your questions abou

t

plants and the interdependence between plants and people.

The Eden Project has 100,000 plants representing 5,000 species from the different climatic zone

s of

the world. The plants grow in two gigantic greenhouses.

• The Humid Tropics Biome, the world’s largest

greenhouse, is home to rainforest plants:

bananas, rubber, cocoa, teak and mahogany.

The biomes are made of ETFE, a strong, recyclable material that is transparent to UV light and

not

degraded by sunlight.

The Eden Project helps us to understand and to celebrate the world we live in, and will inspir

e you

into action. Last year it had two million visitors. Visits to the park take about four hours,

although most people want to go back again to see it all more slowly.

• The Warm Temperate Biome is full of plants

from the Mediterranean, South Africa and

California.

Change your habits and you can soon

be healthier.

1 Think small!

Use a small plate not a big one.

Ask for a small ice cream, small

chips or a small drink. In

restaurants, share a meal with a

friend. Don’t have one meal each.

2 Fiber up!

Choose low-fat, high-fiber foods like cereals and legumes.

Low in calories, and full of vitamins, fiber fills you up before

you can eat anything else!

3 Don’t forget fruit and vegetables!

Eat one fruit or vegetable with every meal. This reduces your

blood pressure, too.

4 Be like a camel!

Carry a bottle of water with you all the time so you can drink

water when you're studying, working, traveling or watching

TV. Drink water instead of coffee, juice or cola.

5 Eat less meat!

Eat a meal without meat at least once each week.

6 Eat more fish!

Tuna, sardines and salmon have acids that protect our hearts.

Eat them twice a week.

7 Always have breakfast!

Start the day with breakfast. It wakes up your body and helps

you to concentrate.

8 Don’t eat and watch!

Stop eating when you’re watching TV. It’s easy to eat a lot

without thinking – so don’t do it!

9 Calcium is cool!

Drink milk, enjoy yogurt and eat low-fat cheese. Calcium

builds strong bones and helps reduce blood pressure.

10 It’s in the bag!

Have a healthy sandwich for lunch one day a week —or

more. Use brown bread, low-fat meat, and salad. It’s cheap

and you will eat less fat, less salt and less sugar.

1 Match these pictures to the different parts of the story.

Aesop was a storyteller in Greece in the 7TH Century B.C. His stories—called fables—are all verysimple, but each one has a moral. Even today, two thousand years after he died, Aesop’s fables canteach us important lessons.

a _______ Once upon a time, there was a tortoise and a hare. As everyone knows, the tortoise is a very slow animal, one of the slowest. The hare, on the other hand, is one of the fastest.

b _______ But the hare was not only very fast. He was also very proud. He said to the tortoise,“You’re so slow. You take much longer to do everything. I’m much quicker than you!”

c _______ “And my legs and ears are longer,” continued the hare. “In fact, I’m much more handsomeand cleverer than you.”

d _______ In his very gentle, calm way, the tortoise said, “Well, it’s true your legs and ears are longer,but if we race, I can win.”

e _______ “You! Win?!” The hare laughed. He was very rude. He thought he was the best animal in the whole animal kingdom.

f _______ The hare ran so quickly he was soon far ahead of the tortoise, who was walking slowlybehind. So the hare stopped for a rest under a tree ... where he fell asleep!

g _______ Well, while the hare was sleeping—and he slept much longer than he thought—the slowand steady tortoise just kept walking, slowly but surely.

h _______ When the hare woke up and realized what had happened, he ran as fast as he could. But it was too late. The tortoise was already there at the finishing line, resting and calmly waiting for him.
