Text 1: (FAFI – MG)
One of Billy’s baby teeth bothered him. Since he wouldn’t let his father try the old string and
doorhandle method, a visit to the dentist was the only alternative. The dentist had no trouble
extracting it. In fact, Billy didn’t even feel it coming out. But when he saw the tooth in the dentist’s
forceps, he let out a terrible screech.
“That will be five dollars,” said the dentist when he saw Billy’s father fetch out his wallet.
Now it was the father’s turn to yell. “Five dollars! That’s too much, isn’t it? I thought it would be
only a dollar.”
“It would have been” replied the dentist, “if the boy’s shouts hadn’t scared four customers from
the office.”
Text 2: North Carolina executes killer of six
Friday, October 22, 2004 Posted: 10:50 AM EDT (1450 GMT)
RALEIGH, North Carolina (AP) -- A man convicted of six slayings in one of the worst killing
sprees in North Carolina history was executed early Friday.
Charles Wesley Roache, 30, had dropped all but a mandatory appeal on the trial record required
by state law. Legal wrangling could have extended his life for up to five years, but Roache said he
gave up all appeals to show his remorse to the survivors of his victims. He was pronounced dead
at 2:18 a.m. of lethal injection.Death penalty opponents argued the state shouldn't execute
Roache without examining his mental fitness, but Roache asked his lawyers to do nothing to keep
him alive. He also declined to seek clemency from Gov. Mike Easley, who decided Thursday
night that he saw no reason to stop Roache's execution.Roache and Christopher Wayne Lippard,
25, were convicted in the September 29, 1999, shooting death in Alexander County of Chad
McKinley Watt, 22. The pair then headed west to Haywood County in a stolen pickup truck. A day
later, after that vehicle was struck, they went to a home near Interstate 40 to steal a car.The
Phillips family returned home from the Haywood County Fair during the robbery attempt. Earl
Phillips, 72; his wife, Cora, 71; their son, Eddie, 40; daughter-in-law Mitzi, 44; and granddaughter
Katie, 14, were killed. Lippard was sentenced to life in prison at a separate trial. Roache was the
third person executed in North Carolina this year and the 33rd executed in the state.
5. Choose the correct answer:
New Language Discovered in India, Race is On to Preserve It
A group of American linguists just announced the discovery of a new language in a remote
region of India. The language, called Koro, was discovered during a 2008 expedition to Arunachal
Pradesh, according to a local newspaper.
2
The interesting thing about the discovery of Koro is that it was “hiding in plain sight.” Koro
speakers are part of the Aka culture, and live in villages where most of their neighbors speak Aka.
While the two languages are in fact very different, Koro and Aka speakers consider themselves
one people, and treat Koro as if it were a dialect of Aka, instead of a “distant sister,” as the
linguists described it. It should be noted that there is some controversy over whether or not Koro
is in fact a new discovery. According to the newspaper Telegraph, linguists from the Assam
chapter of Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage are claiming that Koro was known to
Indian linguists before the American linguists documented it.
Whether it’s really a “new” language or not, Koro only has between 800 and 1,200 speakers, so
now the race is on to try and preserve it, if possible. A language dies out about every two weeks,
and language preservation expert Tabu Ram Taid told our newspaper that: “Koro might have met
the same fate. But the point is now to preserve Koro. Apart from speaking, one must develop
writing the language to prevent it from vanishing.”

INTERVIEW WITH KATTY KAY, CO-AUTHOR OF WOMENOMICS
Speak Up features an interview with Katty Kay, the BBC‟s Washington correspondent. She is
also the co-author, with Claire Shipman, of the book, Womenomics: Write Your Own Rules for
Success. We asked her about the book:
Katty Kay: The book talks about the power that women have in the workplace. We did research
which showed that the more senior women a company employs, the more money they make. And
we’re arguing in the book that a lot of women don’t realize how much value they have in the
economy, how much influence they have in their companies, and that they can use… we think
they can use that value and that influence to try to get more time, to work more flexibly, because
a lot of women, professional women, find that, when they have children, it’s very difficult to do the
60-hour week careers that American life, and professional life, demands. And what we’re saying
is, “Listen, you are very valuable to your company: you might not know that you are very valuable,
but you are very valuable, you bring in money. Now you can go to your boss and say, „I need to
work more flexibly. You want to keep me? You need to let me work in the way that I want to
3
work.‟” And actually, companies that have let women work more flexibly, find great results. So we
argue that this is a very good time for women to be in the workforce, it’s a very powerful time for
women to be in the workforce, and that they can change the way that they want to work.
