Passage 2
Grandmother's culinary advice
My dear Charlotte,
Thank you so much for the lovely basket of fruit you sent to us on our wedding
anniversary, l can hardly believe that your grandfather and I have been married for 60 years.
However, we did get a telegram of congratulations from the Queen, so I suppose that we
really have been together for all that time.
In your note you asked the secret of a successful marriage. Well I believe it has a lot to
do with our very different attitudes to food. Your granddad likes to have a big breakfast, but
l only llke a cup of tea and a piece of toast in the morning. He likes to stop about 12 noon
and have a glass of beer and a plate of egg and chips. I find that too filling, and 1 like to get
on with what I am doing* so 1 prefer to have some fruit and some nuts at midday.
We both like to have our major meal about seven o'clock in the evening, but we like
very different th~ngs. You3 granddad always has some kind of fish for his dinner. He prefers
Tommy Ruffs, the best fish in South Australia, he calls that fish. He also likes kippers,
those salty smoked fish that the English and the Scots introduced into Australia. He refuses
to eat any vegetables at all, except for potatoes. He likes them either, boiled, baked,
mashed or made into chips. He always has another glass of beer with this meal.
I have quite different tastes. 1 like the foods that the other European and Asian cultures
have introduced into Australia. Lasagna from Italy, Moussaka from Greece, green curry
from Thailand and of course, my favourlte, meat and vegetable dumplings from China.
Whatever I have, I always have a salad of green vegetables and two glasses of wine with my
meal.
Now, 1 am sure that my diet is much more balanced than your granddad's. But he says
that now is 79 he is going to eat what he likes. Why [s this difference conducive to a happy
marriage? Well we have to buy our food from different shops, cook our food in different
ways and borrow different cookery books from the library. So we have a lot of different
experiences during the day and a lot to talk about in the evening!
All my love,
Grandma

Passage 3
Trends in the U.S. in the 1990's and Beyond
As we go through the 90' s, the changes that are occurring in many llfe situations and
lifestyles in the United States are quite dramatic. The changes are resulting not only from
simple demographic trends, e. g. , the fact that the large Baby Boom generation has now
become a Graying Boom, but also from changes in technology, economic conditions, and
from the consequences of work and lifestyle changes in the previous decades.
One demographic trend that has been going on for some time now is the low birthrate in
the country. The result of having fewer babies around has become a threat to the business of
some baby product manufacturers. They have had to come up with new strategies to use and
new markets to enter to keep their firms healthy.
A trend related both to the low birthrate and longer llfe spans is the aging of America,
with increases in the numbers of advancing middle age (40's and early 50%) and retirement
age (over 65), with decreases in the numbers of certain other age groups, e. g. , late teens
and early 20%. This points to new opportunities for some types of products, declines for
others, and changes in product packaging to cater to the needs of the larger markets. An
example of one change is the increased use of large type on packages designed to appeal to
more mature buyers.
Family-related trends in the last 10 20 years, such as large increases in two income
families, where the wives work outside the home, and increased divorce rates, with the
resulting single-parent homes, have also had a big impact on the demand for certain types of
products. One example has been the explosidn of day-care centers for children of pre-school
age. Another example relates to the loss of leisure time and the desire for leisure time
products to be more convenient. Such desire, tied to the technological developments
surrounding VCR, has created a whole new industry and lifestyle change of many.
There are many other trends or possible trends that may have an inlpaet on the buying
habits and tendencies of Americans in the coming decade. Such things as population shifts to
different regions, continuing problems in the economy, environmental concerns, new
governmental regulations, and the increasing rate of technological innovations may very well
have major impact on the changing face of this society.
Questions 36 40. Answer the following questions according to the text.
36. In addition to demographic trends, what are the main causes of the changes in
American society today?
37. Why have the manufacturers of baby products had to look for new markets?
38. Why do you think there has been an increase in the use of large type on packaging?
39. Why is there a greater demand for day care centres for young children?
40. What new industry has been created as a result o{ the loss of leisure time?
