    Solo travelling
    I like travelling alone. I have visited many places, such as Thailand, Europe, South America and the USA on my own, which was a great challenge. Every time I travel solo I 32 ______ myself of how strong I am. Travelling with others, you tend to rely on different people for different things.

    A sign of weakness?
    What should you do when you realise that you have to apologise? Is it better to swallow your pride and say you’re sorry when somebody is waiting 32 ______ your apology?
    The psychologist Jack Black says that people worry that an apology will be 33 ______ as a sign of weakness, rather than as their effort to understand and make up with the opponent. But he adds that effective apologies address the person’s feelings – they don’t prove a point.
    As for how to do it, Professor Black has the following advice, “The right way to apologise is the way your mother taught you. Say you threw a stone at your brother. She’d have you go and 34 ______ him in the eye and say: ‘I’m sorry I threw the stone at you and I won’t do it again.’ It’s important to name what you did wrong, to show yourself as being regretful in some way and to indicate what might be different in the future.”
    You should 35 ______ that the number of times you’ll need to repeat the apology may vary depending on where you live. 36 ______ to preliminary data collected by Professor Black, for a minor offence, the optimal number is a single “I’m sorry”. “If the offence is large, then making two apologies seems to be the magic number for restoring trust and liking,” Jack Black says. 37 ______, if you’re British, you may need to double that. “A single ‘Sorry’ does not 38 ______ as an apology: we have to say it so many times with a lot of adjectives,” says Professor Black.

    “When was that?” Jessica asked.
    “Well, swing music – a type of jazz style with a strong beat that really makes you want to dance – had been played for a long time by the
    African-American community before it really became popular. My grandfather and his father had been playing swing long before it was heard on the radio. When the Great Depression hit in the 1930s, many Americans were out of jobs and money. So of course they needed something to 35 ______ them up. When people heard swing music, they forgot about their problems. The music was just so uplifting; it 36 ______ them of all the good times they had had.

    My uncle
    I didn’t like my uncle Conrad. When he rose in the morning, he somehow 30 ______ to wake the entire household. No one complained, as he was the breadwinner in the family, and in any 31 ______, he was cheaper and more reliable than an alarm clock.
    The first noise I would hear was the bedroom door slamming. This would be followed by my uncle tramping along the creaky wooden landing and down the stairs. Then another door would slam as he 32 ______ into the bathroom.

    My mum would be next up, leaping out of bed moments after the first slammed door. There would be a bowl of porridge on the stove by the time my uncle came out of the bathroom. Grandma followed shortly afterwards, and would 35 ______ her daughter in the kitchen before my uncle had taken his place at the head of the table. I had to be down within 5 minutes of the first slammed door if I hoped to get any breakfast. This daily 36 ______ in the household never varied.

    The Lion Lights
    Michael Kahumbu lives with his big family in Africa. He has been helping his father to take care 30 ______ their sheep since he was nine years old. Unfortunately, lions’ attacks on farm animals are quite common in their region. One day the boy decided to protect their sheep and 31 ______ lions’ attacks. While walking around the pasture late in the evening Michael noticed that lions were afraid of his moving flashlight and stayed away from their place.
    Soon he realised how to trick the wild cougars. As a true innovator, he was eager to experiment without worrying that his 32 ______ might not work. This boy, who had taken apart old machines since he was very small, began working on his invention. Despite his 33 ______ of any formal training in electrical engineering, he designed a system of flashing LED light bulbs on poles and placed it around their pasture. Surprisingly, these blinking lights, which he made from car headlights, car batteries, and a solar panel, scared the lions away from their territory.
    Eventually, the word got out about the brilliant “lion-lights boy” and Michael 34 ______ the Lion Lights system for many of his neighbours. His invention won him a scholarship to one of the most prestigious schools in Kenya. And when Michael was 13, he was invited to 35 ______ about his unique system at an international conference.

    The effect of the temperature
    Many people believe that office conditions can influence our work. For a 32 ______ time achieving a comfortable room temperature in hot climates was a constant struggle. Research discovered an obvious fact: finding an office temperature to 33 ______ everyone all the time is basically impossible. “Part of the problem is trying to work out the “correct” temperature. It depends 34 _______ what you’re measuring,” said researcher David House.
    One study 35 ______ at the impact of the room temperature on worker productivity, by tracking the activity of managers in an office. 36 ______ it measured the activity of just nine women, the results were impressive. At 25°C they were typing non-stop with an error rate of just 10%. When the temperature dropped to 20°C, they were half as productive, more than doubling the number of mistakes.
    But it’s not quite that simple. When students in the other study were asked to solve a math problem in either a cool or a warm room, the group in the cooler room 37 ______ in this task twice as often. It means that complex decisions are more difficult when we’re warm. When the temperature is above 27°C, we’re not so good at mathematics.
    In fact, the room temperature can do more than influence your productivity – it can change the way you think. Warm environments are better for creative thinking, while cooler workplaces are thought to 38 ______ people active during repetitive or monotonous tasks.

    Penny
    Penny was a very talented designer. She enjoyed curating the exhibits for famous American museums. She 30 ______ ever took on private decorating clients, because she didn’t want to be limited by other people’s ideas and tastes. And the hub of all her creative activities was Washington. Her husband, Steve, didn’t think it would be fair to ask her to move to Oregon for him. Normally, he wouldn’t have 31 ______ it, but the job he’d been offered was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He 32 ______ if he could do it for a couple of years, but if the business was a success, he’d want to stay longer. His kids wouldn’t 33 ______ a move either. The offer in Oregon had come the first week of school. Jack had just started his senior year of high school, and would be 34 ______ to college that fall. Their daughter Nelly was a junior, and firmly embedded in her life in Washington. The prospect of moving at sixteen and seventeen would horrify them both. Only Dan, their six-year old son, wouldn’t have any 35 ______, as long as he was with them. He had just started first grade.
    Penny was in Boston for the day, consulting with a museum about the show they wanted her to curate in two years. He didn’t know if he’d 36 ______her about the offer or even whether he should. Why upset her about a job he wasn’t going to take? But the investors wanted him to go to Oregon and meet them that week to discuss it further, and he was tempted to.

    Stephen Kibaki
    Stephen Kibaki walks through his family’s farm just outside Nairobi National Park in Kenya. Goats, cows, and sheep graze peacefully in the pasture. In the park nearby, lions roam, living in peaceful coexistence with the farm. It’s 30 ______ to be an extraordinary picture for many places in Africa.
    “I love lions,” Stephen 31 ______ the journalist. “If my cows are protected and they’re safe, we can live with the lions without any problem.”
    How do cattle 32 ______to live safely near these huge predators? It’s all due to this young man’s brilliant invention. When he was 11, he created Lion Lights, a clever way of keeping his family’s livestock safe.
    First, there seemed to be no good 33 ______ to the problem, but Stephen started experimenting with ways to scare off the predators. He tried to use fire and a scarecrow. His first two 34 ______ were unsuccessful: the lions were too clever to be fooled by either. But one night he was walking around the pasture with a flashlight and noticed that lions stayed away. That’s when he 35 ______: these big cats were afraid of moving lights!
    Then Stephen 36 ______ a system of flashing LED light bulbs on poles around the perimeter of the pasture. The blinking lights tricked the lions into thinking the grounds were patrolled. That finally kept the lions away.
