All five senses are important to us, but the two most important senses are likely the sense of sight and the sense of hearing. Blind and deaf people must find life difficult because they are unable to do things that the rest of us can do naturally. People who lose their sense of taste can not enjoy food as well as they used to, whilst men who have no sense of smell can not realize, for example , when gas is leaking or food has gone out. In addition to our physical senses, which is a great help in life to have sense of humour, especially when things go wrong, and to have common sense, something which can not be learned from books

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of thequestions.
Isn’t it amazing how much time we spend talking about food?, “Have you ever eaten......?”, “What did you have for lunch?” and so on. And yet when you travel from one country to another, you find that people have quite different feelings about food. People often feel that what they eat is normal, and that what other people eat is strange or silly.
In most part of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice. In England, people eat potatoes every day. In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal. Eating, like so many things we do, becomes a habit which is difficult to change. Americans like to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee. The English drink tea four or five times every day. Australians drink a large amount of beer, and the French drink wine every day.
The sort of meat people like to eat also differs from one country to another. Horse meat is thought to be delicious in France. In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes. Newzelanders eat sheep meat, but they never eat goat meat. The Japanese don’t like eat sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy raw fish.
So it seems that although eating is a topic that we can talk about for hours, there is little common sense in what we say about it. People everywhere enjoy eating what they have always been eating, and there is very little we can do to change our eating habits.

Nowadays more and more people are changing the way they use their televisions..Some years ago we used to turn on Tv and watch whatever there was.But now we choose the programs we watch much more carefully because we have many other interesting things to do.One result of this change is that we are also becoming more careful about the actual television set itself. As we watch fewer programs, we want to be sure that we will have a really good picture, with bright color and clear sound. Because it will be switched off most of the time, we also want the television to look good when we are not watching it. So when we buy or rent we look at the outside to make sure it is attractive and will look right with other furniture.Of course we have to pay more for high quality.However it seems that the number of people who are content to do is increasing and this should have a good result because in the end all television will have better quality
