You havent turned the page in the last ten minutes.W: No, Jim, I suppose I havent. I need to get through although, but I keep drifting away.M: So it doesnt really hold your interest? W: No, not really. I wouldnt bother with it, to be honest, but I have to read it for a seminar. Im at the university.M: Its a labor of labor then rather than a labor of love. W: I should say, I dont like Dickens at all really, the author, indeed, I am starting to like the whole course less and less. M: Its not just the book, its the course as well?W: Yeah, in a way, although the course itself isnt really that bad, a lot of it is pretty good, in fact, and the lecturers are fine. Its me, I suppose. You see, I wanted to do philosophy rather than English, but my parents took me out of it.M: So the course is OK as such. Its just that hadnt been left to you. You would have chosen a different one.W: Oh, they had my best interest at heart, of course,24B my parents. They always do, dont they?

Most of the population, however, will be undisturbed for only three years, then they will be dug up, washed, compressed into a small tin box, and placed in a bone room. If the body has only partially decayed, it is reburied in a smaller cheaper grave, but not for long, the body will be dug up again some time later when it has fully decayed. Buying a piece of land for a grave is the only way to avoid this process. The cost of the grave is so great that most people choose to rent a grave for three years and even after being dug up, lasting peace is still not guaranteed. If no one pays for renting space in the bone room, the skeleton is removed and stored in a building in a poor part of the town. Lack of space in Amphons is the main reason why the dead are dug up after three years. The city is so overcrowded that sometimes dead bodies are kept in hospitals for over a week until a grave is found. Amphons city council wants to introduce cremation that is burning the dead bodies as a means of dealing with the problem. But the Greek Church resists this practice, they believe the only place where people burn is a hell, so burning dead bodies is against the Greek concept of life after death. To save space, the church suggested burying the bodies standing up instead of lying down. Some people proposed building multi-storey underground grave yards.26. DWhat must Greeks do to keep the dead resting in ever-lasting peace?27.AWhy are most dead bodies in Amphons dug up after three years?28.BWhat suggestions does the church give about the burying of the dead bodies?29. CWhat practice does the Greek church object to?If you visit a big city anywhere in the world, you will probably find a restaurant would serve the food of your ow
