I must pay the rent and eat before I do anything else.Meryl: That’s true, but start saving money for a vacation. Traveling is a "must."
Tanya: Well, maybe I can go to Petra in May, after I save enough money.

month, Moslems mustn't eat, drink, or smoke during the day.
Tanya: And tourists?
Meryl: Tourists mustn't eat, drink, or smoke in public places.

1. Larissa is planning to marry Martin in June. Then she finds out that hesometimes goes out with his old girlfriend Susan. He says that he doesn'tlove Susan; she's just a friend. Larissa is hurt and angry. This is what youtell her.
❒ You should believe Martin. Marry him and don’t worry about Susan.
❒ You mustn’t marry Martin. He’s lying to you. An old girlfriend is never just
a friend.❒ Have you thought about postponing the wedding? Then you can wait
and see what happens.
2. Tanya is friendly with Fabrice. They are not close friends, but they often goout together. Fabrice is usually nice to Tanya. Then one day, he sayssomething which isn’t so nice. Tanya is upset. This is what you tell her.
❒ Why don’t you stop seeing Fabrice? He doesn’t seem like a nice person.
❒ You don’t have to stop seeing Fabrice, but be careful. You mustn’t
become good friends.❒ You shouldn’t see Fabrice anymore because you can’t trust him.
Without trust, there’s no friendship.❒ You must talk to Fabrice about your feelings. Listen to what he says.
Then decide about being friends with him.
3. Evan works with Karen. She is a good worker and very friendly. She helpedhim on his last project. Evan's boss just told him that part of the project wasnot done well. It's the part that Karen worked on. Should he tell his boss?
This is what you tell him.
❒ You shouldn’t tell the boss. Your work is usually good and you
can't get into trouble because one project is not perfect. It's not fair tohurt a fellow worker.
❒ I think you should tell the boss. Why get into trouble because of someone
else's mistake?❒ Don't tell the boss, but you must never ask for Karen's help again.

THE DESERT
Picture the Middle East. What do you see? An endless desert with nomads oncamels? That’s all in movies. There’s still a lot of sand there but most peopletravel in cars and trucks.
The camel, the "ship of the desert", used to be the primary way for desert peopleto move from place to place. The camel was very important for transport, shade
from the hot sun, milk, meat, wool, and hides. These nomads used to move theirtents made of camel skin, their families, and animals from one place to anotherand the camel used to carry everything. Today, many of them live in urban andrural areas and you won’t see long lines of camels in a city or village.
These tribes of wandering people used to wear colorful and unique clothing.Today the young people usually dress the same as everyone else.

H Read the text. What’s in the camel’s hump?
THE TRUTH ABOUT CAMELS
People used to think that the camel was a bad-tempered animal. Actually, they’reusually good-natured, patient, and intelligent.
People used to think that the camel didn’t hear very well because its ears aresmall and it often won’t pay attention to a command. In fact, the camel hasexcellent hearing!
Why do we call the camel the "ship of the desert"? When it walks, the camelmoves both feet on one side of its body, then both feet on the other. This is likethe rolling motion of a boat.
People used to think that a camel didn’t have to eat or drink for weeks or months.Actually, it can be without food or water for only five to seven days.
And what’s the hump on the camel’s back? People used to think the hump wasfull of water. In fact, there is no water in the hump. It is fatty tissue for energywhen there is no food.

The History of Ancient Pompeii
The Oscans, an ancient group of people, built Pompeii in about 600 BC. TheRomans conquered it about five hundred years later in 80 BC. Pompeii soon
became a vacation resort for wealthy Romans. When they wanted a vacationaway from the heat of Rome, they went to Pompeii because it was close to thesea.
In 62 AD, a terrible earthquake Pompeii. It destroyed the city but the survivors
rebuilt it. In 79 AD, a second earthquake hit Pompeii. Mount Vesuvius, a volcanonearby, erupted, and the lava completely covered Pompeii. More than 2,000people died there, but most of the wealthy people were not in Pompeii then. Thecity stayed untouched for more than 1,600 years.
In 1748 archeologists rediscovered Pompeii. The city was exactly as it was in79 AD. They learned a lot about the people there. They learned about theirhomes, their food, and what they did for entertainment.
Today, around 2 million tourists visit Pompeii every year and can see the remainsof ancient Roman life.

How the Snake Lost His Legs*
Long ago in the land of Africa, the moon looked into the future and saw that therewouldn’t be any rain that year. She told all of the people, birds, and animals that
the area was going to turn into a desert. Because the moon had magicalpowers, everyone believed her. They became frightened and ran away. Only thesnake stayed.
At that time, the snake had legs like all the other animals. But the snake wasproud, and wanted to stay in his home. "I am not worried," he said. "I havestrong legs and I can walk for miles. I can leave whenever I want."
Many days passed and there was no rain. The trees began to die and the landbecame dry. The snake decided that it was time to leave. He began a long, long
journey through the dry desert. After a while, he became tired and hot and he
couldn’t walk anymore. He fell to his knees. He begged the moon to help him get
through the desert. "I am not an evil creature," he said. "I don’t deserve to diealone in the desert." He promised that he would never be proud again. The moonlooked down at the snake and felt sorry for him. She took away the snake’s legs,and the snake slid through the sand and crossed the desert easily.
The snake never walked on two legs again, and from that day on he gave up hispride.
* When animals are pets or have human characteristics, we can use he, she, andwho.

The Story of Persephone: A Letter to the Editor
Something to Read
Dear Editor,
I really enjoyed reading the storiesfrom Greek mythology. It made merealize that in ancient mythsanything is possible.
The story I liked the most was "NoNews Like Ancient News" about thekidnapping of Persephone. Why was
most of the story about QueenDemeter? We already know that shewas so sad and unhappy that theearth became cold and dark.There was no food, so peoplestarved.
What about Persephone? Hadeskidnapped her while she was
picking flowers and took her to theUnderworld. How could such a
terrible thing happen to the daughterof the powerful gods Demeter andZeus? We know that she wasunhappy in the Underworld. At first,she wouldn't accept any food from
Hades. Finally she agreed to eat theseeds from a pomegranate, marriedHades, and became the Queen of
the Underworld. Hades finally letPersephone live on the earth for sixmonths a year.
This legend tells us why we have
four seasons: winter, spring,summer, and autumn. For sixmonths of the year whenPersephone lives on earth and her
mother is happy, it’s spring andsummer. For the other six months
when she returns to theUnderworld, it’s autumn and winter.
Kidnapping was then and still is avery serious problem. It happened inancient times to powerful gods and itstill happens today.
Thank you for the amusing stories
and for informing us about thepeople of ancient Greece.
A pleased reader

the Sossusvlei wildernesscamp, built near the top ofa mountain overlooking20,000 acres of openplains and tall mountains.We stayed there for twodays so that we wouldhave enough time to visitthe Sossusvlei Dunes and
look at the desert plantsand animals. On the thirdday we flew over thedunes and the surroundingarea. At noon we stoppedat Swakopmund in order
to tour the town and havelunch. That afternoon weflew to the DamaralandCamp. It’s a verycomfortable place withlarge tents and bathrooms.The next day we got upearly so that we could goon a long nature drive and
later visit the rockpaintings.On day five we flew fromDamaraland to OngavaLodge for two days. Thislodge has small houses
with bathrooms and air-conditioning. It is verypopular with touristsbecause you can sit onyour private balcony andwatch animals drinking atthe water hole. This timewe saw only a few animalsbecause there wasn’tmuch water. For two dayswe relaxed, watched the
animals, and went on ashort drive in the EtoshaNational Park. Because itwas so hot, we rested inthe afternoons. On dayseven, my friends andI flew from Ongava back toWindhoek in order to

Some Grammar
• Time Clauses begin with after, before, when , or while.
• Time Clauses describe the time relation between two actions.Example: I’ll call you before I leave my house.
• Time clauses can be either the first or the second clause in a sentence. We
only use a comma to separate two parts of a time clause if the time wordcomes at the beginning of the sentence.Examples:
After I had three cups of coffee, I felt more awake.= I felt more awake after I had three cups of coffee.
• When talking about the future, we use the Present Simple after the timewords. Remember: don’t use will after the time word.Example: When I have time, I’ll go to Hawaii.
• We sometimes use when and while to show that one action interrupts
another action. Notice that the first action is in the Present Progressive and
the action that interrupts is in the Present Simple.Example: When / while I was relaxing on the beach, it started raining.
• We usually use while when two long actions occur at the same time.Examples:
Nadia was sailing while Boris was having lunch.
Time Clauses
When we were on the boat, we saw a whale.
Before I go on the hike, I’ll look at the guidebook.
We’ll meet at the beach after you eat lunch.
We bought new swimsuits before we went to Hawaii.
After I finished my dinner, I went on a sunset cruise.
While I was walking, the sun rose.
