Because writing has become so important in our culture, we sometimes think of it as more real than speech A little thought, however, willshow why speech is primary and writing secondary to language Human beings have been writing ( as far as we can tell from survivingevidence ) for at least 5,000 years, but they have been talking for much longer, doubtless ever since there have been human beings When writing did develop, it was derived from and represented speech, although imperfectly Even today there are spoken languagesthat have no written form Furthermore, we all learn to talk well before we learn to write: any human child who is not severely handicappedphysically or mentally will learn to talk; a normal human being can not be prevented from doing so On the other hand, it takes a specialeffort to learn to write: in the past many intelligent and useful members of society did not acquire the skill, and even today many who speaklanguages with writing systems never learn to read or write, while some who learn the rudiments of those skills do so only imperfectly

To affirm the primacy of speech over writing is not, however, to say that the latter is of little importance One advantage writing has overspeech is that it is more permanent and make possible the records that any civilization must have Thus, if speaking makes us human writingmakes us civilized

Questions :

1 What is more real than speech ? Writing.

2 How long have human beings had speech ? Since there were human beings.

3 Do all spoken languages in the world have their written forms ? No.

4 Can a normal human being learn to write without trying ? No.

THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT

Scientists say that something very serious is happening to the Earth It will begin to get warmer in the 1990s There will be major changes

in climate during the next century Coastal waters will have a higher temperature This will have a serious effect on agriculture In northernareas, the growing season will be ten days longer by the year 2000 However, in warmer areas, it will be too dry The amount of water coulddecrease by fifty percent This would cause a large decrease in agricultural production

World temperatures could increase two degrees centigrade by the year 2040 However, the increase could be three times as great in theArctic and Antarctic regions This would cause the ice sheets to melt and raise the level of the oceans by one or two metres Many coastalcities would be under water

Why is this happening ? There is too much carbon dioxide (CO2 ) in the air When oil, gas, and coal burn, they create large amounts ofcarbon dioxide We send five billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year This amount will double in fifty years This carbondioxide lets sunlights enter the earth’s atmosphere and heat the earth However, it does not let as much heat leave the atmosphere andenter space It is like a blanket The heat can pass from the sun through the blanket to warm the earth The heat stays there and can notescape through the blanket again

The controversy surrounding the relationships between and roles of men and women is, perhaps, one of the features of the second half ofthe twentieth century in Western societies In the United States of America, for example, both sexes are, more or less aggressively,demanding freedom from the constraints of traditional attitudes towards the roles of the sexes and marriage The impact of this can be seen

in the rising divorce rate, falling birth rate and the increasing number of couples living together without a marriage license

It is perhaps interesting to speculate on the future roles of men and women In developed countries, if the advent of the silicon chip leads

to mass unemployment and a revolutionized attitude towards work and leisure, what will be the effect on, for example, women who atpresent express their equality with men primarily through their work; if oil, coal and gas run out and alternative energy sources can not take

up the slack in domestic supplies, what effect will this have on the roles of men and women in domestic life ? In developing societies, howwill increasing exposure to Western society ( through the media and travel ) and improved technology affect the role of women ? One canobviously guess at the answers, but what do you think or hope will happen ?

Questions :

1 What is one of the features of the 20 th century in the Western societies ?

 It is the controversy surrounding the relationships between and roles of men and women

2 Are American men and women still happy with their traditional role in the family ?

No, they aren’t

3 How can women express their equality with men ?

Through their work

4 How are developing countries exposed to Western societies ?

Through the media and travel

II.

In societies where people tend to live together in extended family groups, - consisting of grandparents, great uncles and aunts, parents,aunts and uncles, children and cousins, for example - care of both young and old is the natural function of the group The State is onlyneeded when the efficiency of the group breaks down, because of illness or poverty, for example In Britain, however, people tend to live innuclear family groups ( parents and children only ), with the result that the care of the old is a social problem and the State needs tointervene What is more, if the relationship between husband and wife breaks down, the children are immediately at risk, and Stateintervention may be necessary for them too Where parents do care for their children, however, they usually take their responsibilities veryseriously

The British population is already one of the oldest in Europe, and it is slowly getting older In 1990 the median age in Britain was six but it will rise to forty-one by 2020 At the end of the 1990s the number of pensioners will begin to rise rapidly, and the workforce willshrink One result will be that by 2020 there will be twice as many people aged eighty-five or over as in 1990 A disproportionate number ofthe old, incidentally, choose to retire to the south coast and East Anglia, creating regional imbalances
