Text – Valentine’s Day
2
It’s that time of the year when couples show their love for each other
by sending cards, flowers and chocolates. But Valentine’s Day is not
only about public displays of affection: in recent years it has also
become big business. In the UK alone, more than 20 million pounds is
spent on flowers, whilst in the United States over 1 billion dollars is
forked out on chocolates.
Valentine’s Day, or its equivalent, is now celebrated in many countries around the world. However, the
traditions often differ from place to place. In Japan, for example, it is customary for the woman to send
chocolates to the man, whilst in Korea April 14th is known as ‘Black Day’ and is when the unfortunate men
who received nothing on Valentine’s Day gather to eat noodles and commiserate with each other.

Text – Superstitions:
Friday 13th – unlucky for you?
3
Are you superstitious? Do you believe in good luck and bad luck? And, if so, how do you go
about avoiding bad and promoting good luck?
One person in four in Britain is, apparently, superstitious, and they’ll do everything from hanging
horseshoes over their fireplace to crossing their fingers, touching wood and absolutely never walking
under a ladder. And they’re careful about cats. Black cats are supposed to be the familiars of witches
or warlocks, so if one is following you it’s definitely bad luck – a witch is after you!. On the other
hand, if one crosses your path and continues then it’s good luck because it hasn’t noticed you.
However, in some places the beliefs are different – so it pays to know where your black cat comes
from!

EARN CASH AND HELP SAVE THE PLANET BY RECYCLING
YOUR OLD GADGETS WITH MIRRORGOGREEN
If getting paid for going green sounds too good to be true then you’ve not heard of Mirrorgogreen, a new
site launched to help paint Britain green through recycling old or unused gadgets.
We all have old phones, digital cameras and even laptops gathering dust in drawers so now is the time
to recycle these gadgets and cash in.
Recycling an Apple iPhone, for example, could earn you $198, while you can get up to $350 for a
working laptop and more than $60 for a working MP3 player.
The Mirrorgogreen site has been developed to be the first of its kind to recycle not only mobile phones
but also laptops, MP3 players and sat navs, with plans to expand into several other technologies in the next
few months.
To find out what your old gadgets are worth and to cash in while doing your bit for the environment, visit
the Mirrorgogreen site now.

Secondhand Smokers
Non-smokers who grew up with smoking parents face double the usual risk of lung
cancer. A recent study estimates that 17 percent of all lung cancer patients in the US
have never touched a cigarette and that their disease results from exposure to smokers
when they were young. “It makes a strong case that exposure to secondhand smoke as
a child increases your risk as an adult”, says Dr. Stanton Glantz of the University of
California in San Francisco.

Text – My Son Was In Diapers
WHEN WE STARTED DEVELOPING THIS DRUG,
MY SON WAS IN DIAPERS.
WHEN WE FINISHED, HE WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL.
We started working on a new heart medicine in 1992. It took 15 years to complete all of the tests and
find the exact, right compound. The cost? More than the price of a space shuttle mission. Inventing new
medicines isn’t easy, but it’s worth it. Every discovery gives millions of people a new chance at life. And the
profits help fund critical research on diseases like Multiple Sclerosis and Alzheimer’s. The truth is, we’re not
just helping today’s patients. But tomorrow’s, as well.

WHITE LIES
At 9:00 Dick Spivalk’s bank telephoned and said
payment was late. ‘The check is in the post.’ Dick replied
quickly. At 11:45 Dick left for a 12:00 meeting across
town. Arriving late, he explained that traffic had been bad.
That evening, Dick’s girlfriend wore a new dress. He
hated it. ‘It looks just great on you,’ he said.
Three lies in one day! Yet Dick Spivalk is just an
ordinary man. Each time, he told himself that sometimes the
truth causes too many problems. Most of us tell much the
same white lies, harmless untruths that help to save trouble.
How often do we tell white lies? It depends in part
on our age, education, and even where we live. According
to one U.S. study, women are more truthful than men, and honesty increases as we get older.
While most people use little white lies to make life easier, the majority of Americans care
about honesty in both public and personal life. They say that people today are less honest than
they were ten years ago. Although it is believed that things are getting worse, lying seems to be
an age-old human problem. The French philosopher Vauvenarges, writing in the eighteenth
century, touched on the truth when he wrote, ‘All men are born truthful and die liars.’

“In August 1975, three men were entering a bank,
when they got stuck in the revolving doors and had to be
helped free by the staff. They had been on their way to
rob the Royal Bank of Scotland. They thanked everyone
for their help and left. A few minutes later they returned
and announced their intention of robbing the bank but
nobody believed them. First they demanded $5,000 but
the head cashier only laughed at them, thinking it was a
joke. The gang leader reduced his demand to $500, then
to $50 and finally 50 cents. Then one of the men jumped
over the counter and hurt his ankle, while the other two
got stuck in the doors again trying to make a getaway.”

Battling the Bloodlines
It’s the small things the Brazilians do that annoy some
Japanese in Toyota City. The immigrants don’t throw their
garbage where they are supposed to. They gather outside and
play loud music at night. They play a strange card game that
involves yelling “Truco!” at the top of their lungs. To the
Japanese in one densily populated public housing complex, it
feels as if the foreigners are closing in on them, the smoke
from the barbecues suffocating them, the Latin music
drowning out an imagined tranquility. Ten years ago there were
200 Brazilians in the complex. Today there are 3,500. “The
sidewalks are getting narrower,” said a Japanese woman as
she maneuvered a grocery cart through a gathering of Brazilian
families. “There’s no room for us anymore,” said her friend.
