Seeing Eye to Eye with English

Ok, let’s face facts: English is not an easy language.
As well as its irregularities and enormous lists of rules, it has
thousands of tricky idioms – too many to learn by heart. And
what do they all mean? Sometimes you can only guess and
keep your fingers crossed. Take these bodily examples:
Little children are often called “cheeky”. Why?
Because they are rude to adults. But surely they don’t use their
cheeks to be rude. And what about nosy old women? Have
they got lots of noses? No, they are interested in everyone
else’s business and of course they will get on your nerves after
a while.
If you are busy at work, you probably have your
hands full, though actually it’s your desk that will be full. And
if you let things get out of hand, you may need someone to
give you a hand so that you don’t get the elbow. But on the
other hand, if you see eye to eye with your boss, you’ll
probably keep your job anyway.
Even out of the workplace you can’t escape idioms.
Imagine you go to a restaurant. First you have to catch the
waiter’s eye to get a menu. Then you have to make up your
mind about what to eat.
All these idioms – it’s enough to break your heart!

Do you really need another cup of coffee?

Three or four cups of coffee a day may not sound excessive,
yet some of the minor but debilitating symptoms many of us
experience (like headaches, indigestion, palpitations) may be
related to a quite modest caffeine intake.
A cup of “real” coffee, percolated or filter, contains 100mg-
150mg of caffeine, instant coffee, 80mg-100mg. Caffeine
stimulates the nervous system, heart and kidnews and heavy
coffee consumption (12 to 15 cups a day) is likely to produce
signs of caffeine poisoning – headaches, irritability, buzzing
in the ears, palpitations, indigestion, upset stomach and a
general feeling of anxiety.
But even three of four cups, containing less than the daily
recommended limit of 600mg, can also trigger one or more
of these symptons in susceptible people.
Dr Heather Asthon, Reader in Psychopharmacology at
Newcastle-upon-Tyne Medical School, believes the effects
that caffeine hás also depend to some extent on personality
and psycological factors. “When treating people on
tranquillisers, I have found that they are often sensitive to
caffeine- it tends to make their symptoms worse. It seems
likely that even a moderate caffeine intake can increase
symptoms in people who are already anxious.
Even a moderate intake can increase symptoms in people
who are anxious
The long-term health hazards of caffeine – such as cancer of
the urinary-tract, and breast and heart disease – have been
the subject of much debate, but a large study carried out
recently found no significant association between coffee
consumption and any major cause of death.
It migh be worthwhile, however, trying to find out if caffeine
is responsible for some minor ills by gradually reducing
intake.
Switching to tea is not much help as a cup of tea can contain
up to 100mg of caffeine. Cocoa and cola drinks also contain
caffeine. Decaffeinated coffee is not the answer either,
because it tends to have greater gastrointestinal effects,
sometimes causing indigestion or diarrhoea.
And, like ordinary instant coffee, it also contains other
substances (currently being researched) which may have
undesirable effects on the nervous systems.
Herbal teas, which contain low level of caffeine, fruit fuices
and plenty of waker are the best substitutes.
Also watch out for caffeine in painkillers and in cold
remedies; you could end up ingesting several hundred
miligrams of caffeine a day without even realising.
Paracetamol or codeine are better, and cheaper, alternatives.

Which of these sentences is TRUE?

A) Coffee contains caffeine which stimulates the heart and
nervous system and can cause headaches, diarrhoea and
feelings of anxiety.
B) In the long term this can also lead to cancer and heart
disease.
C) Tea is a much better substitute for caffeine.
D) The best substitute is decaffeinated coffee.
E) Painkillers do not contain caffeine.

A) To stop
B) To make something happen very quickly
C) To prevent
D) To cure
E) To hunt a tiger

A) Caffeine
B) People

E) The doctor
10.Read the sentence below and decide which is the correct
