he lady who i s on a Plane
Joanne Ussery, 54, from Mississippi is a big favourite with her two grandsons
because she lives on a jet plane. Her home is a Boeing 727, so a visit to
grandma is very special.
oanne's front door is at the top of the plane's steps, but you don't need
a ticket or a passport when you visit. There are three bedrooms, a living room,
a modern kitchen, and a luxury bathroom. The bathroom is in the cockpit, with
the bath under the windows. Next to this is Joanne's bedroom in the first class
section of the plane. Then there's the living room with four emergency exit
doors, which she opens on summer evenings. On the wall there's a photo of the
plane flying for Continental Airlines from Florida to the Caribbean. There are
also four toilets, all with No Smoking signs.
'The plane is 27 years old and it's the best home in the world,' says Joanne.
'It has all the things you want in a home: a telephone, air conditioning, a
cooker, a washing machine, even a dishwasher. It's always very warm, even in
winter, and it's very big, 42 metres long. My grandchildren love running up and
down. And my friends love parties here, but there aren't any flight attendants
to serve them their drinks!'
The plane cost Joanne just $2,000. 'Next time,' she says, 'I want a
Boeing 747, not a 727, because they have an upstairs and a downstairs, and I
want to go upstairs to bed!'

Alexandra
Nechita is thirteen and she is called 'the new Picasso'. She paints large
pictures in cubist style and sells them for between $10,000 and $80,000.
She was born in Romania but now she
lives in Los Angeles with her family. She could paint very well when she was
only four but her parents couldn't understand her pictures. Alexandra says: 'l
paint how I feel, sometimes I'm happy and sometimes sad. I can't stop
painting.' Every day after school she does her homework, plays with her little
brother, then paints for two or three hours until bedtime.
Alexandra doesn't spend her money, she
saves it: 'We were very poor when we were first in America. We couldn't buy
many things, but now I can buy a big house for my family and we can travel the
world. Last year we were in London, Paris, and Rome. It was fantastic!'

Firsts
George Washington (1732-1799)
He was the first President of the United States. He became
President in 1789, eight years after the American War of Independence.

His
  early life
George was born in Virginia. His
  family owned a big farm and had slaves. George didn't have much education.
  During his life he had three jobs: he was a farmer, a soldier, and a
  politician. He loved the life of a farmer. He grew tobacco and owned horses. He
  worked hard but he also liked dancing and going to the theatre. In 1759 he
  married a widow called Martha Custis. They were happy together, but didn't
  have any children.

His later life
He was Commander-in-Chief of the army
  and fought the British in the War of Independence. When the war ended in 1781
  he was happy to go back to the farm, but his country wanted him to be
  President. Finally, in 1789, he became President, and gave his name to the
  new capital city. He started the building of the White House, but he never
  lived in it. By 1797 he was tired of politics. He went back to his farm and
  died there two years later.

Margaret Thatcher (1925- )
She was the first woman prime minister in Europe. She became

Prime
Minister of Britain in 1979.
Her early life
She was born above a shop in the small English town of Grantham. Her
father, Alfred Roberts, was a grocer. He worked very hard for little money.
Margaret also worked hard, and she went to Oxford University, where she studied
chemistry. In 1951 she married Denis Thatcher, a rich businessman. They had
twins, a girl and a boy. The love of her life was politics. She didn't have
much time for other interests. She said she only needed four hours' sleep a
night.
Her later life
She became a politician in 1959, leader of the Conservative
Party in 1975, and Prime Minister of Britain four years after that. She had a
strong personality. A lot of people were afraid of her, and she was called 'The
Iron Lady'. In 1984 Irish terrorists bombed her hotel, but she survived. She
was Prime Minister for eleven years. She finally resigned in 1990, but she
didn't want to, and she was in tears when she left 10 Downing Street.

Writing
6 Write
a paragraph about meals in your country.
The kind of food we eat depends on which part of the
world we live in, or which part of our country we live in. For example, in the
south of China they eat rice, but in the north they eat noodles. In
Scandinavia, they eat a lot of herrings, and the Portuguese love sardines. But
in central Europe, away from the sea, people don't eat so much fish, they eat
more meat and sausages. In Germany and Poland there are hundreds of different
kinds of sausages.
In North America, Australia, and Europe there are two or
more courses to every meal and people eat with knives and forks.
In China there is only one course, all the food is
together on the table, and they eat with chopsticks.
In parts of India and the Middle East people use their
fingers and bread to pick up the food.

Nowadays
it is possible to transport food easily from one part of the world to the
other. We can eat what we like, when we like, at any time of the year. Our
bananas- come from the Caribbean or Africa; our rice comes from India or the
USA; our strawberries come from Chile or Spain. Food is very big business. But
people in poor countries are still hungry, and people in rich countries eat too
much.

RACING DRIVER
Sue Glass had a
car accident when she was eight so she didn't like driving. When she grew up
this was a problem, because she got a job with a car company. Then six years
ago she met Julian Swayland, a racing driver, and she told him she was afraid
of cars. He wanted to help, so he took her to Brands Hatch, a Grand Prix racing
circuit. He drove her round corners at 100 mph and she loved it. Then she heard
about a special motor racing course. She did the course with five men and was
amazed when she got top marks. She says:
'I think I did
well because I listened to everything the teacher said. I needed to because I
was so afraid. The men often didn't listen. The best moment was my first
championship race. I didn't win but I came fourth. I beat 20 men. I love the
excitement of motor racing but it's a dangerous sport and I'm always very
frightened. In fact I stopped doing it a year ago, because I got so nervous
before each race, I felt really sick. I'm not going to race again, I'm going to
teach other people to drive. I'm going to open a driving school next year.'

  walked through the woods to the king's palace. But in the woods there lived a

  heard the medals clinking together as she walked.
'Aha!' thought the wolf. 'Lunch!' And he started to move quickly but
  quietly through the trees towards Bertha.' 'Oh, no!' cried the children. 'Is
  he going to eat Bertha?'
'Yes, ofcourse,' answered the young

  were so heavy. The wolf caught her easily and he ate everything, every bit of

How to live to be 100
More and more people are living to
  be 100 years old. There are now 4,400 centenarians in Britain — 10 times more
  than there were 40 years ago. Professor Grimley Evans of Oxford University
  believes that future generations will live even longer, to 115 years and
  more. Here are the stories of three people who have lived to be 100.

4      Work
in groups of three. Each choose a different person and read about her/him.
Answer the questions.
1    What jobs
has she/he had in her/his life?
2    Where
does he/she live now?
3    Which
countries has she/he been to? 4 Did he/she marry and have children?
5      Is
her husband/his wife still alive?
6      When
and why did she/he give up smoking cigarettes?
7      What
do you learn about other people in his/her family?
8      Has
she/he ever been very ill?
9      What
food does he/she like?
10  What exercise does
she/he like doing?
5 Work with your group. Compare the three
people, using your answers. What do you think?
•   Why do you
think these people have lived so long?
How many reasons can you find?
•   Would you like
to live to be 100? Why/why not?
Joyce Bews
Joyce Bews was 100 last year. She was born and grew up in
Portsmouth on the south coast of England, where she still lives. For many years
she was a dressmaker, and she didn't marry until she was 65. Her husband died
of lung cancer only 10 weeks after they married. It was then that she gave up
smoking. Joyce has had only one serious illness in her life — she had pneumonia
when she was 20. She has lived in Australia and America. She lived in Australia
after her husband died, and she went to America when she was 75. She has just
returned from a holiday in Spain with her niece, aged 75. She says: 'I'm not
sure why I've lived so long. I've never exercised but I've always eaten well,
lots of fruit. My youngest brother has just died, aged 90.'

Alice
Patterson-Smythe

Tommy Harrison

Tommy Harrison is exactly 100 years old. He's a retired engineer. His
  wife, Maude, died 14 years ago. They had no children and now he lives alone
  in his flat in Bristol. Tommy has smoked all his life. First he smoked
  cigarettes, about 10 a day, but 40 years ago he changed to a pipe. He has
  only been ill once in his life, and that was just before the First World War,
  when he had rheumatic fever. The only time he visits a certificate say that
  he

can still
  drive his car. Every day he has a full English breakfast — bacon, eggs, toast
  and marmalade. He has only been abroad once, to France during the war. He
  says: 'I still go dancing and swimming but I don't want to live for ever,
  perhaps 12 more months. My father lived until he was 99.'

Alice
Patterson-Smythe was born just over 100 years ago in Edinburgh. She now lives
in Norfolk. She drove ambulances in the First World War, and worked as a school
secretary until she retired. She has been a widow for 25 years and has three
children, six grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren. She smoked quite a lot
when she was a young girl but she gave up when she was 68 because she had a
heart attack. Her nineties were the best years of her life because her
millionaire grandson took her on his aeroplane to visit Tokyo, Los Angeles, and
Miami. She says: 'I love life. I play golf once a week and do Latin American
dancing, and I eat lots of fruit and vegetables. We are a long-lived family —
my mother was 95 when she died.'

What do I remember of the nineties . . . er . . . well,
I left school in 1994 and I went to university, I studied graphic design — it
was really good. I had a good time. Then after university, in 1997, I was
really lucky. I got a job immediately. A job with Saatchi and Saatchi, they're
an advertising agency in
London.
Soon after that, 1998 it was, I met Zoë, she's my girlfriend. She has a
good job, too, and we bought a flat together in 1999.
The only sport I like is football, so I remember when
France won the World Cup in 1998. Brazil lost in '98 but they won in '94.
I remember when Tony Blair became Prime Minister in
1997, that was just after I started at Saatchi and Saatchi. Oh, and I remember
Bill Clinton and all the problems he had in his last years in the White House.
And the Euro — eleven countries in Europe began to use the Euro in 1999, but
Britain didn't.
Oh yes
— and of course I remember Princess Diana — she died in a car crash in Paris in
'97 and millions of people came to London for her funeral. I was there. I can
