Baby Blues
“My aunt went out of town, and I had to baby-sit my two-year-old cousin. That night, when I was putting her to bed, I brushed her teeth with this baby toothpaste that my aunt had laid out. I kept noticing my cousin was making all these funny faces, but I just kept brushing. Turns out, I was brushing her teeth with diaper rash lotion that was next to the toothpaste! The next morning, she woke up sick - and no one knew why except me!” Maureen

I WANT TO BE ON HOLIDAY
Q I always cry and feel upset.
The only time I am happy is when I’m on holiday and I’ve recently come back from one. All I have to look forward to is going away. I hate waking up in the morning thinking every day is going to be the same. All I have to live for is holidays. What should I do? Kirsty,15, Derby
A
What is it exactly you love so much about holidays? Is it the sense of freedom? Perhaps you can get more of these elements into your day-to-day life. Then you might not be so bored. Ask your family to help you do more of the things you love to do during the holidays. So, if it’s variety, perhaps you can go places after school or at weekends. Give it a go!

IT’S A DOG-GONE MIRACLE THANKS TO LOVE, FAITH AND THE HELP OF A STRANGER, A FAMILY FOUND ITS BELOVED LOST DOG CUJO AFTER SIX LONG YEARS! 1

“I got Cujo 13 years ago as a pup from my brother Mike,” says Noreen Barker, 41, from St. Louis. “He was the most beautiful golden retriever with a curly tail and a heart-shaped patch of white on his forehead. He also had a very unusual manner of saying hello by rubbing against you cat-style.” The playful dog quickly captured the heart of Noreen’s husband, David and their two children Kayla and Jacob. But six years ago, tragedy struck. The Barkers were moving and the dog darted out through an open gate into a busy road. Despite an extensive search, the heartbroken family failed to find their pet. But they never forgot him! For the next six years Kayla, 12, put up a special Christmas stocking for Cujo. “She always said he would come back to us,” says Noreen. On January 19, Noreen’s brother was looking at a special website devoted to rescuing golden retrievers -

www.dirksfund.com - and he was stunned by what he saw…. a picture of Cujo! He quickly alerted Noreen and she checked the website. It was Cujo, the heart-shaped patch was there all right. It was unmistakable! Noreen immediately contacted Bob Tillay, the president of dirksfund. He told her that Cujo had somehow turned up in Colombia, 150 miles from St. Louis. He had been living in the home of an elderly woman. When this woman entered a nursing home, the dog was sent to the Central Missouri Humane Society in Colombia. There he was going to be put to death because of his age. “When we heard about this dog, we had him brought to St. Louis, where our vet fixed him up. He was in a sad state - with ears infected so badly that he could hardly hear. His coat was matted and he had a broken toe. We put him on our website so he could be adopted into a good home.” Bob Tillay says.

Op een chatsite staat de volgende vraag: ‘Do you and your mates copy each other’s schoolwork or do you always do it on your own? Is copying stealing, cheating, or is it somehow OK?’ Wie vindt dat overschrijven moet kunnen? A Adam B Lorna C Amy D George
My friend Sam copies my work all the time and it is annoying to know I’m being watched. I think copying is wrong as you will be unable to copy in your GCSEexams1) so you should try to work independently to get used to it. Adam
Lots of people copy other people’s work, and although it’s tempting, you shouldn’t do it because you will not learn. It is better to learn from your mistakes than to copy someone else’s and never learn what you did wrong. Lorna
Copying will stop yourself from learning and the information is not going in. My friend copied off me and in the end we both got into trouble. Amy
If you are stuck and desperately need some help, then it’s not really such a problem. I often ask my friends for help, but only copy the answer once I understand what is being asked. That way you’re learning something as well. George noot 1 = eindexamen

McDonald's is trying out a plan that allows employees to share their job with others. The Family Contract allows husbands, wives, grandparents and children over 16 to job-share and swap shifts without notifying the management. The first family to sign up were Rita Cross, 42, and her two daughters Laura, 18, and Natalie, 16, in Cardiff. Rita said the main advantage of the arrangement was its flexibility. "We get up in the morning and decide which of us really wants to go to work," she said. "I'd love my husband to join up too, so that we can all plan our work and family life as one unit." Under the contract, which is the first of its kind in Britain, each worker clocks on and is paid separately through his or her own bank account. It is being tried in six cities around Britain. If the scheme proves successful, McDonald's says it will expand it to include friends and extended family such as cousins and grandparents.

David Fairhurst, of McDonald's UK, said: "A lot of our staff wanted more flexibility. Many are students at college and they have very different term hours and holiday hours. Many older staff have children and prefer to work during school hours. So we decided to offer our personnel flexibility in a family context." McDonald's, which has 67,000 staff in 1,250 British restaurants, said they hope that flexible working will help to reduce the number of sick days in future. Neil Gouldson, a law expert, said contracts like this could be troublesome. “Instead of training one family member, companies will have to train every member who has signed the contract. This is extremely expensive and there’s a danger that training will be incomplete and service levels could drop as a result.” He also said that the engaging of new personnel would become more complicated. “Interviewing an entire family will take a lot of time,” Gouldson warned.

Wat houdt het nieuwe plan van McDonald’s in? (alinea 1) A Familieleden van het personeel krijgen voorrang bij het invullen van vacatures. B Meer familieleden kunnen samen één baan hebben. C Personeelsleden die ontslag nemen moeten proberen voor vervanging zorgen.

13
Wat gaat McDonald’s doen als het nieuwe plan succes heeft? (alinea 2) A de mogelijkheden van dit soort contracten uitbreiden B deze manier van werken ook uitproberen bij een aantal andere vestigingen C het nieuwe systeem bij alle McDonald’s restaurants in het land invoeren

Man with no arms carries on driving A New Zealand man with no arms who was accused of dangerous driving will be allowed to remain behind the wheel after police dropped charges against him. Colin Smith, 31, who was born without arms, will be required to drive a modified car in future. He argued that he had driven for years using one foot to steer and the other to work the accelerator and brake pedals. A police officer stopped him for speeding near the North Island city of Tauranga in March and was amazed to discover him reclined in his seat, driving with his feet.

Wat gebeurde er toen Beyoncé op de foto ging met een babykrokodil? A Hij beet de verzorger. B Hij pieste haar onder. C Hij viel van haar schoot.
Such a cutie! For her new album cover, Beyoncé only agreed to pose with an alligator if its mouth was taped shut. “The first alligator they got was 13 feet long,” Beyoncé says. “They were like, ‘He’s fine. He just ate.’ But then I saw his trainer, who had stitches and a bloody head. I said, ‘No thank you, we’ll just have to add the photo in production.’ But I did hold a baby one. He was really cute, but since his mouth was taped, he didn’t have any way to defend himself. He was upset, so he peed on me and spoilt my new Gucci dress!”

Op een chatsite geven jongeren tips over het meedoen aan de auditie voor het TV programma Pop Idol. Æ Wie geeft een tip over het leren van teksten? Schrijf de naam op.
WHAT ARE YOUR TOP AUDITION TIPS?
My tip is: just have fun! Plus, remember that although there are thousands of people auditioning, someone has to get picked. It could be you. Sarah, 20, Rochdale I think you should wear clothes that stand out. And if the judges send you away, it’s not the end of the world. Samantha, 17, Rochdale Speak up loud with a smile on your face. Being quiet and looking at the floor won’t get you anywhere. The chances are that the judges are looking for a confident, interested person. Mark, 14, Gravesend Don’t think about the big day too much. The night before the audition get lots of sleep. It’s not a good thing to turn up with bags under your eyes. And get a bottle of water with you! Daniel, 15, Battle My best friend and I went to Pop Idol. We had to queue for hours in the cold, so my tip is to be patient and wear warm clothes. Melissa, 18, Bedford Practise your lyrics a lot, but don’t try to do it all at once. Also the night before, just let yourself relax, don’t worry you know your lyrics. Emily, 16, London The best auditioning tip I could give is to sing with emotion. And, if necessary, pretend no-one else is watching you. It really helps a lot! Amber, 16, Durham

Buster Martin, Britain’s oldest worker is someone who’s NOT looking forward to retirement even though he’s 100 years old! He insists he’s perfectly happy to spend his golden years working hard as a mechanic, helping to maintain and clean 100 vans for a plumbing business, though he did take a day off recently to celebrate his 100th birthday. “Boredom is the big killer of men,” says Buster, who tried retiring three years ago but after a few months got bored and found a part-time job at Pimlico Plumbers. “I like to be active, it saves you sitting in a wheelchair. If I didn’t work I would become the most miserable sod you have ever come across!”

Buster married at age 14 and got 17 children. He has more than 70 grandkids and great-grandkids, served in World War II and lives in London, with few modern conveniences outside a TV. “I’ve never owned a phone in my life and I never will,” he says. And don’t expect to see him travelling overseas, where “you spend a lot of money to do the same things you do at home.” Says Martin: “I‘m living a holiday here. I wake up every morning and am happy in what I do.” Buster hopes to carry on working until he’s 125. His boss Charlie Mullins said: “We have quite a few old workers as I see experience as a big advantage. I know I’ll never see a dirty van with Buster on the case. Buster is a lot of fun, he’s quite a character who’s got a million stories!”

Wat vindt Graeme Obree van het nieuwe wetsvoorstel over fietsbellen? A Hij denkt dat de veiligheid van fietsers wordt verbeterd. B Hij denkt dat er veel bekeuringen uitgedeeld gaan worden. C Hij vindt het een overbodige maatregel.
BICYCLE BELL ALERT The Government plans to bring in a new law saying every bicycle must have a bell and every cyclist must use it to alert pedestrians to their presence. Those found guilty of riding without a bell will face on-the-spot fines, with maximum penalties of up to £2,500 or two years in jail. Graeme Obree, the Scottish world record-holding cyclist, called the new law a ‘pointless exercise’. He said: ”If a cyclist is about to hit a pedestrian, he’s not going to hit a bell - he’s going to shout. What policeman is going to enforce a law like this? Only civil servants could come up with crazy ideas like this.”

Bought a car on eBay A three-year-old boy from Lincoln used his mother’s computer to buy a £8,999 car on the internet auction site eBay. Jack Neal’s parents discovered their son’s successful bid when they received a congratulations message from the website about a Barbie-pink Nissan Figaro. Rachel, 36, said:”We didn’t understand what was happening. Neither of us had bought anything. So we checked and saw it was a Barbie-pink car which we had bought for £8,999. We flew into a panic!” Mrs Neal thought she had left her eBay password in her computer. “Jack is a real whizz on the PC and had probably pressed all the right buttons.” Her husband John, 37, called the owner of the car and explained the mistake. “Luckily he saw the funny side and said he would re-advertise,” Mrs Neal added. The car, which has a 1 litre turbo-charged engine, is available on eBay at a starting price of £7,999.

Op een chatsite staat de volgende stelling: Playing violent videogames like Grand Theft Auto en Bully can make you care less about violence in real life. True or not? Wie vindt dat computerspelletjes geweld uitlokken? A Richard B Ben C Becky D Amanda E Laura F Ed
I find that when you play violent games it gives you the chance to place your anger on the game, so you feel calmer. Richard, 14, Stockport Adults just think we are stupid and can’t tell what’s real and what’s not! It annoys Ben, 15, Torquay me. I think Grand Theft Auto 3 is a bit of harmless fun. Some adults think that after playing GTA3 we are going to go out and start crime. I think GTA3 is a great Becky, 16, Birmingham game and soooo much fun! Kids ain’t stupid. They ain’t gonna be so thick that they copy things out of violent games. People who do copy these things need help and that means that it’s obvious that most kids (not all) are sensible with stuff like this. Amanda, 15, Preston I don’t understand how anyone would want to play violent computer games. They inspire young people to start getting into crime. And why on earth people think that a violent game will keep them calm I just can’t understand. Laura, 14, Stubbington I love violent games because if I have had a stressful day I can take it out on the games and you figure out that you shouldn’t do violent things in real life. Ed, 16, Hadleigh
