People from different cultures laugh differently. Which texts describe the pictures above? 403

There are two major types of laughter. What is the difference between them?

Spontaneous laughter is similar everywhere. It’s a natural response to something amusing, and it’s difficult to control. In groups, it’s even harder to control spontaneous laughter. We think things are funnier when we are with other people and people rarely laugh when they are alone.

Fake laughter isn’t natural. People use fake laughter to hide their true feelings, especially when they’re embarrassed. Fake laughter can also be nasty. People sometimes use fake laughter to laugh at other people. Some cultures use fake laughter more than others.

Complete the facts with the words below to find out more about laughter.

telling • adults • jokes • LOL • sound • talking • statements• People usually laugh for the first time between the ages of 3.5-4 months.

That’s a long time before they start 1. !

• Children laugh three times more often than 2. , so try to stay young!

• Most laughter doesn’t follow a joke. It follows simple 3. , such as, The bus is late again.

• We laugh at the 4. of laughter.

• The popular text message abbreviation 5. (laughing out loud) is now in the English dictionary.

• Jokes are usually funnier to us when we know the person 6. the joke.

• People don’t all laugh at the same 7. , but most people laugh when they see someone trying not to laugh in an embarrassing situation.

1. The Mbuti tribe in southern Africa have got the best laugh. They move their whole body, hit their sides with their hands and cry with laughter. Sometimes, they become too weak to stand, so they roll on the ground or hold each other for support.

2. The women of Japan, China and other parts of Asia try not to show much emotion. When they laugh, they usually cover their mouths and try to hide it.

3. American people laugh very openly and they sometimes put their hands on their knees for support. They use the expression rolling on the floor laughing (ROFL) but unlike the Mbuti, they rarely do this.

4. People from the country of Samoa in the South Pacific Ocean have got a very high-sounding laugh. This is true of women and men. Answers, page 123

But by the age of 12, he was serving sophisticated meals at his own dinner club, EUREKA, in his mother’s home. Since then, McGarry’s cooking has become famous and he’s appeared on TV. Top chefs have also invited him to cook at some of the most expensive restaurants in the USA.

Sergio Longo from Sao Paulo didn’t have a job or a home. Then, one day someone offered him a job recycling rubbish at the Coorpere recycling centre. The centre has created jobs for many homeless people like Longo. “Coming here has saved my life,” Longo says.

Think about this: When you recycle one ton of paper,

you save approximately 17 trees, 26,500 litres of

water, 318 litres of oil, 4,000 hours of electricity and

2.3 cubic metres of space in landfills. That’s enough

energy to power your home for about five months!

Faster SpaceDeforestation is causing more CO2 in space. While CO2 causes high temperatures on Earth, it reduces the temperature in space. This is making the air in space even thinner than before, so satellites are travelling faster. Space rubbish from broken parts of satellites and spaceships is travelling fast, too.

Spread of Ebola The Ebola virus has killed many people in West Africa and deforestation is part of the problem. Animals deep in the African rainforest carry the Ebola virus. In the past, these animals didn’t have much contact with humans. But as a result of deforestation, people have travelled further into the forest. This has put them into contact with infected animals. Ebola can easily spread from animal to human in that way. Answers, page 123

Rubbish to the Rescue!

Disappearing MedicinesThe plants of the rainforest are used in about 25% of Western medicines. For example, the rosy periwinkle, a rainforest flower, is the main ingredient in a powerful medicine against cancer. So far, scientists have only examined about 1% of the rainforest plants, so there are probably many more medicines to discover. If the forests disappear, we’ll lose these important plants forever.

Family-Life Traditions

Having a Baby in Finland

Becoming a Man in Brazil

Getting Married in the Congo

1 In Finland, new babies sleep in a very strange bed – a cardboard box! The box is sent by the government and it arrives full of clothes and other helpful items for the baby and its parents. This tradition started in 1938, when many people were very poor. The box is designed to give all children in Finland an equal start in life.

2 Are you ready for the responsibilities of becoming an adult? In some cultures, teenagers have to pass difficult “coming of age” tests to prove they’re ready. For example, the boys in Brazil’s Xavante tribe must do a series of tasks, including spending 15 days in water. During this time, they are only allowed to leave the water for a few hours to sleep. When they complete the tasks successfully, the boys are painted red to show they have become men.

3 In Western culture, getting married is a very happy occasion and wedding photographs are full of smiling faces. But in some cultures, weddings are very serious events. In the Congo, for example, the couple mustn’t smile on their wedding day. They mustn’t even smile for their wedding photos!

What do these sayings mean? Do you think they are true?

Culture 6Crime and Punishment

Read the information and check your answers. 409

Prison sentences in Britain were very brutal 200 years ago. People went to prison for years, just for stealing bread! For more serious crimes, people were often given a death sentence. Children were sent to prison, too. They shared dark and crowded prison cells with dangerous criminals and murderers. In some places, they were given only bread or porridge to eat.

In 1776, the British government started using old ships as prisons. These were called hulks. The hulks were cold, wet and very dirty, and many of the prisoners became ill. At night, the prisoners slept on the floor. During the day, they did hard physical work for up to 10 hours.

Many criminals were sent to work in a prison colony in Australia. The journey to Australia took months, and many people died on the way. The prisons in Australia were better than the cold, dark prisons in Britain. Prisoners could walk around and they were paid a salary for their work. When they finished their sentence, they were given land in Australia and they could start a new and better life.

Buckingham Palace is the home of Queen Elizabeth II. There are security guards outside the palace, so people believed it was impossible to get inside. But on the night of 9th July, 1982, a thief broke into the palace and entered the Queen’s bedroom. The Queen woke up to find a strange man standing next to her bed. Amazingly, the thief, 31-year-old Michael Fagan, said that it was his second time inside the palace! Fagan didn’t hurt the Queen, but it was a very embarrassing incident for the palace security guards.

Did You Know?The item in the picture is a pillory. It was used as a form of physical punishment until 1837. The pillory

was made of wood or metal, with holes for the head and hands. If you were put in the pillory, people would come to throw things at you. They usually threw soft tomatoes or eggs, but stones and other dangerous objects were used, too. Sometimes, the criminal’s hair or an ear was cut off as an extra punishment!

True or false?

1. In the past, children were sent to prison in Britain.

2. A hulk was an old prison ship.

3. Australian prison life was worse than prison life in Britain.

Culture 7You’ve probably heard of the famous physicist and chemist Marie Curie and her work in the field of radioactivity. But Marie wasn’t the only scientist in her family. She wasn’t the only Nobel Prize winner, either! Read about the rest of her amazing family below. How many family members have collected Nobel Prizes?

411

Together, Marie and Pierre won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903 for their research on radiation phenomena. Marie won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1911 for her discovery of radium and polonium.

Irène was very much like her mother. She and her husband, Frédéric, won the 1935 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work on radioactivity.

Ève was the only Curie who didn’t become a scientist. She was a writer and reporter. She didn’t win a Nobel Prize, but her husband collected the 1965 Nobel Peace Prize in the name of UNICEF.

Pierre is a respected biologist. He was a scientific advisor to the French Prime Minister from 1985 to 1986. His wife, Anne, is a biologist, too.

Hélène is a respected nuclear physicist and a member of the French government’s advisory committee. Her husband, Michel, was a nuclear physicist and her son, Yves, is an astrophysicist. Answer, page 123

1 In the 1950s, toy chemical laboratory sets were very popular. Children used them to try interesting experiments at home. One unusual laboratory set was the Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Lab. The lab had four radioactive elements, including polonium. Polonium is very toxic when it is absorbed into the body. In 2006, polonium was used to murder Alexander Litvinenko, a former officer of the Russian security services!

2 In 1986, there was a terrible accident at a nuclear plant in Chernobyl, Ukraine. High levels of radioactivity travelled for many kilometres and scientists believe it caused about one million deaths. Plants and wildlife also absorbed the radiation and the insects and microbes in the area died, too. Normally, insects and microbes will eat dead trees until they break up and disappear. But the trees around Chernobyl died 30 years ago, and they still look like they’re in almost perfect condition!

3 Believe it or not, bananas are radioactive! They contain the natural radioactive element potassium-40. The amount of radioactivity in one banana is very small and it can’t hurt you. But nuclear detection machines are sometimes activated by lorries full of bananas!

1 In this Scandinavian country, people save all of their broken dishes. Then, on New Year’s Eve, they throw them at the houses of friends and family. The more dishes that are thrown at your house, the more good fortune you will have.

2 In this country, when two people say the same thing at the same time, they must say Piase Kokkino, which is Greek for touch red. Then, they must quickly touch a red object for luck. The best time for this to happen is at Easter. That’s when the colour red is easy to find because everyone buys red Easter eggs.

• In 1933, the government of Syria prohibited yo-yos. They believed that the yo-yos were causing a drought, so police officers went round the streets and destroyed them all.

• According to an old English law, if you find a dead whale on the beach, you can’t keep all of it. You must remove the head and tail and give them to the King and Queen.

• According to a law in Milan, Italy, people must smile at all times. The only places where they don’t have to smile are hospitals and funerals. According to experts, smiles are good for your health and make you happy, so this might be a good idea.

In 1986, people didn’t arrive for a court session in California, USA, because there was heavy rain. The judge, Samuel King, jokingly said, “I hereby order that it cease [= stop] raining by Tuesday!” Amazingly, it stopped raining that Tuesday – and it didn’t rain again for many years. Five years later, King was in a California courtroom again. The director of the Santa Clara Water District asked King to cancel his order and to end the drought. So King ordered the rain to fall. Later that day, California had the heaviest rainfall in 10 years!

4 The first serviettes were used in Ancient Greece more than 2,500 years ago. At first, they were made from uncooked flour and water. Then, the Greeks used bread to clean their hands. Paper serviettes were first made in about 100 BC, in Ancient China. They were called chih pha.

If you use the same deodorant for too long, it will stop working. Therefore, you should sometimes change your deodorant.

1 According to some skin experts, you should change your deodorant every six months. That’s because after a while, your body may adapt to the ingredients and the deodorant will no longer be efficient. But some lucky people don’t have to worry about this problem. Scientists discovered that about 2% of people don’t have to use deodorants at all because they never smell bad!

2 Many people believe there was an everlasting light bulb, but that isn’t true. However, a light bulb in the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department in California was turned on in 1901 and it’s still working today! In 1975, a German engineer invented a light bulb with a life of 17 years. The light bulb was never produced because the engineer died soon after he found a company to produce it.

3 Forks were used in China long before chopsticks. Archeologists have discovered a fork from the Bronze Age Qijia culture (2400-1900 BC). It was made from part of an animal. Forks have also been found from later Chinese eras.

Answer, page 123

Toilet paper was first made in China in the 1300s for a Chinese emperor. Each piece was 60 centimetres wide and 90 centimetres long. Toilet paper only arrived in the US in 1857. Before that, old newspapers and magazines were often used. The publishers of a magazine called Farmer’s Almanac made this easier for their readers. They designed the magazine with a hole in it, so people could hang it on the wall next to the toilet. Amazingly, the Farmer’s Almanac has still got a hole in it today, but most people probably don’t know why.

Only one of these beliefs is true. Can you guess which one?

Forks weren’t ever used in China in the past. The Chinese have always eaten with wooden or bamboo sticks called chopsticks.

The first serviettes were made from cloth. In the past, it was too difficult and expensive to make them from paper, and the paper wasn’t soft enough.

Someone invented a light bulb in the 1920s that you never needed to replace because it never stopped working. However, manufacturers didn’t agree to produce the “everlasting” light bulb because it wasn’t profitable.
