Фрагмент из книги:
Can you think of an item which has never been out of fashion, ever since the time it came on the market? You might think denim jeans are a likely candidate. But, while they have always been popular, there have also been times when they were considered to be unfashionable by expert ‘fashion watchers’. No, the only fashion item that has always been cool to wear since the start of the twentieth century is ... a pair of sunglasses, or ‘shades’.

Prepare 7, Workbook, McKeegan D., Capel A., 2015


The sound of silence.
Sometimes all I want is a bit of peace and quiet. When I've got some important homework to finish, and my sister won't stop chatting on her phone; when I'm trying to concentrate on the book I'm reading, and Grandma is watching TV downstairs with the sound on high; or when I just want to catch an extra hour's sleep on a Saturday morning, it seems that all the noises - both inside the house and outside - are doing their best to keep me awake. Too much noise can drive anyone mad!

So last summer I decided to go on a mission to find the quietest place on Earth. To my surprise, I didn't have to travel far. I live in Minnesota, home of the Orfield Laboratories, and the world's best anechoic chamber. An anechoic chamber is a small room, made up of layers of concrete and steel to remove outside noise, much like a standard sound recording studio in many ways. But in this case, even the floor is suspended to stop any sound of footsteps. According to the Guinness Book of Records, it's the quietest place on Earth - 99.9% sound-absorbent. The strange thing is that most people find its perfect quiet upsetting. Not being able to hear the usual sounds can be frightening. Astronauts do part of their training in anechoic chambers at NASA, so they can learn to cope with the silence of space.
