Benjamin Disraeli, the famous nineteenth century prime minister, said, London is not a city, - it is anation. Today this is an understatement; London, with its vast range of different ethnic groups, is aworld.Certainly, London is the most culturally diverse city in the world. The city was founded by the Romansand since then new arrivals have constantly added to its character and prosperity.Within 10 years 40% of Londoners will be from ethnic minority groups, including the growing number ofLondoners of mixed ethnic origin, but most of them will have been born in Britain. Children ofCaribbean-Chinese marriages will go to school with children of Russian-Irish couples. None of them willbe English but all of them will be Londoners.Most of Britains ethnic minority residents live in the capital, speaking over 300 languages. Nearly all ofthe African population and many of the Caribbean population of Britain live in London (83% and 58%respectively); 39% of the Chinese population of Britain and 36% of the Asian population of Britain livein London. The largest migrant community is from the Irish Republic with 256,000 people, 3.8% of thetotal population of London.There are an estimated 330,000 refugees and asylum seekers living in London, with most recent arrivalscoming from Eastern Europe, North Africa and Kurdistan.Young people, in particular, are skilled at dealing with a large number of different and hybrid cultures.They themselves often have several different ethnic identities since their parents and grandparents maycome from several different backgrounds and their friends and partners do also. They are skilledcross-cultural travellers without leaving their home-town. 1). Why does the writer think that Benjamin Disraelis statement is an understatement?

The entertainment profession, or show business, attracts many young people. Unfortunately, only veryfew can hope to become famous and rich. Talent is not enough, because show business is ascompetitive as any other business. Without a good manager, a performer can never hope to succeed.Fashion is important in this business, too. The best tailor in this world will never be a success if hemakes old-fashioned clothes. In exactly the same way, a performer must change his act in order to followthe taste of the moment. This is true for all performers: actors, dancers and perhaps most of all, forsingers.Pop stands for popular, and a pop singer has to work very hard to become popular. He must eithergive the public what they already want, or he must find a new way of singing that will attract theirattention. Even when he has succeeded, and his CDs are sold everywhere, he cannot relax. Then hemust work harder than ever to stay popular, because there are always younger singers trying to becomefamous and to steal some of the popularity.The life of a successful pop singer is not at all easy. He can only relax when he is alone, becauseeverything he does is watched and reported in a special newspaper written for the fans. The fans arethe most important people in the world for the singer. They buy his CDs or VCDs. They go to hisconcerts, and watch his MTV. And it is they who make the singer rich and famous. But they can be veryannoying too. Sometimes their enthusiasm gets so wild and mad that they do anything to attractattention and their behavior is as uncontrolled as possible. They shout and cry very loudly during theperformance. In order to get a gift, they steal everything from the singer: his handkerchiefs (手帕),his T shirts, his toothbrush. They sometimes tear off buttons from the singers clothes, and they evencut off pieces of the unfortunate singers hair. Many singers have been forced to hide, and some whohave not been so lucky as to escape have almost nothing on at the end of their performance with almosteverything taken away.A pop singer has to spend a lot of money on clothes, because he must always look smart, or at any rate,different. He must have a luxurious car. And most important he must always keep smiling for thebenefit of his public. To keep his image young in his fans mind, he is not allowed to grow old. 1).

In the United States, 30 percent of the grown-up population has a “weight problem.” To many people,the cause is clear: we eat too much. But scientific experiments do little to support this idea. Goingback to the America of 1910, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. Inthose days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didnt watchtelevision.Several modern studies, besides, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average thanthinner people. In fact, some research work, such as the 1979 study of 3,545 London office workers,reports that fat people eat less than thinner people on average. Studies show that thin people aremore active than fat people. A study by the research group at Standford University School of Medicinefound the following fact: the more the man ran, the greater body fat he lost. The more he ran, the greaterwas his need for food. Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of bodyfat. 1). What kind of physical problem do many grown-up Americans hav
