The very first Tour de France, the greatest cycle race in the world, was held in 1903 It began

when two French journalists, Henri Desgrange and Géo Lefèvre, came (1) _ with the idea of a race right round the country, (2) that had ever been tried anywhere before Nowadays we might think the aim of (3) an idea would be to bring in lots of

television money, or even tourists, but at the beginning of the twentieth century what they wanted

to do was sell more copies of their newspaper And they succeeded Circulation figures, (4)

_ had been 25,000, went to 65,000 within a year, and on to half a million by 1923 The reporters were in fact quite closely involved in organizing the race, and Desgrange would go

(5) _ to remain Tour Director from 1903 right up to 1939 Even (6) _,

their initial design for the race changed in several important ways before the first one was run

For instance, they had intended (7) _ to be held over five weeks, but such a long race

was just too much for most riders and very few wanted to take part

So it became half (8) length, and it would be run entirely in July (9)

travelled each day would be much longer, with cyclists sometimes (10) to ride at

about seven he thought he’d jump into it like a swimming pool, and he knocked himself out When

he was older, he had to work for pocket money He started off doing odd jobs and by the age of about ten he was in the kitchen every weekend, so he always had loads of money at school He had discipline He used to be up even before me in the morning If you run a family business, it’s for the family, and it was nice to see him helping out

Gary wasn’t very academic, but he shone so much in the kitchen By the age of 15 he was as good

as any of the men working there, and sometimes he was even left in charge He would produce over

a hundred meals, and from then I knew he’d go into catering because he had that flair So when he came to me and said, “Dad, I’ve got to do work experience as part of my course at school,” I sent him to a friend of mine who’s got a restaurant

Gary recently took up playing the drums and now he has his own band Goodness knows what will happen to the cooking if the music takes off My advice to Gary would be: if you start chasing two hares, you end up catching neither, so chase the hare you know you’re going to catch He understood when I said to him: “Gary, if you are going to get anywhere in life, you’ve got to do it

by the age of 30 If you haven’t done it by then, it’s too late.”

Gary went to catering college at the age of 17, and on his first day he and the other new students – they’re normally complete beginners–were given what’s supposed to be a morning’s work But within an hour Gary had chopped all his vegetables, sliced all his meats He’d prepared everything That’s my son for you! In the end, he was helping other people out

None of us can believe how successful Gary’s TV cookery series has become I’m extremely proud

of him I’ve always tried to tell him that if you want something, you’ve got to work jolly hard for it, because no one gives you anything He’s seen the opportunity he’s been given and grabbed hold of

it with both hands You know, you talk to your children as they grow up, and if they only take in ten per cent of what you’ve told them, you’ve got to be happy with that The things Gary says, the things he does, I think, well, he must have listened sometimes

FIVE- STAR LUXURY MEETS UP-TO-DATE TECHNOLOGY

The five-star Merrion Hotel, which has just opened, is the result of considerable research into customer requirements and nearly two years’s work converting four large eighteenth-century houses

in Dublin Creating a new hotel in this way has allowed the lasted technology to be installed This has been done for the benefit of staff and guests alike

At the Merrion, General Manager Peter MacCann expects his staff to know the guests by name (19)

It can deal with return clients in the extra-special way that is appropriate to a five-star hotel

Though the system cost £250,000 to install, it will pay for itself over time, according to MacCann

(20) For example, a guest who requests certain music CDs during a first day will find

those same CDs ready for him on a return visit This is thanks to the guest-history facility which allows staff to key in any number of preferences

Hotel guests the world over frequently complain about room temperature (21) Guests

have the opportunity to change the temperature themselves within three degrees either side of the

Trang 8

Technology changes so quickly these days that the hotel has had to try to forecast possible

improvements (23) _ The televisions are rented rather than bought, so that they can be

replaced with more up-to-date models at any time DVD recorders can also be upgraded when necessary

Despite the presence of all this very up-to-the-minute equipment in the rooms MacCann says they

have tried hard not to make guests feel threatened by the technology (24) There are,

of course, a swimming pool and gym, six conference rooms, two bars and two restaurants, and a beautiful garden at the heart of it all

As at all luxury hotels, the food that is offered to guests must be excellent Chef Patrick Guilbaud’s Dublin restaurant already had two Michelin stars when he agreed to move his restaurant business to

the Merrion (25) _ He has been able to design a new kitchen and take it into the modern

age There are better parking facilities than at the previous address, too From the hotel’s side, they are able to offer a popular and a successful place to eat, with no financial risks attached

Aided by technology and a highly capable staff, the Merrion looks likely to succeed

A For guests, though, it is the other technology offered in their rooms which is most likely

to find favor

B Being part of the hotel site has huge benefits, both for him and the hotel itself

C Extra cables have been laid to handle whatever scientific advances may occur

D He expects fifty per cent of the rooms to be occupied in the hotel’s first year

E Another hi-tech system controls this essential area of comfort

F However, for details of his guests’ preferences, he relies on the hotel’s computer system

G The one hundred and forty-five bedrooms, large and well-furnished, are both comfortable and welcoming

H He praises its efficiency and talks enthusiastically of the facilities it offers
