I don't have to take my briefcase into the bar either, to prove all I want is a drink.
When I go to my room, there are some extra touches that make me feel especially welcome.
It's not simply the Softer decor. Crest have thoughtfully provided a hairdryer and make-up mirror, things I appreciate away from home.
"I've finally found a hotel that treats me like a man.''
And they can even come up with an iron or a pair of tights at a moment's notice.
So I always stay at a Crest Hotel whenever I can. I like their friendly and businesslike attitude towards me.
And speaking as a woman, you can't say fairer than that.

In October 1957 the Soviet Union launched Sputnik I, a small, unmanned
satellite that circled the earth. Twelve years later Neil Armstrong stepped onto
the surface of the moon. During perhaps no other time in Earth's history was
such rapid advancement made in a particular area of exploration. We can only
speculate about the future, but astronomers and scientists are looking to the day
when a permanent base will be set up on the moon, and greater knowledge of
space will be at our doorstep.
A. Circle the letter preceding the implied main idea.
a. Space exploration began in the 1950's and continues today.

It was love at first sight,
I suppose. And yet it wasn't
just the way she looked. It
was also the way she talked.
We'd been for a stroll
in the country, One lazy, hazy
summer Saturday. I felt about
sixteen again-walking close
enough for our hands to keep
touching, in the hope that she
might hang on.
At a little country pub over
looking Evesham Vale, I popped the
inevitable question.

"I'll have a Jameson."
she replied.
"A what?"
"A Jameson. You know, the
famous Irish whiskey."
"Oh," I said somewhat
blankly.
"Haven't you tried it?
She said, laughing. "Don't
look so amazed, it's great.
Made from the fmest Irish
barley, the softest spring
water, and it's distilled three
times, so it's really smooth.

"Two Jameson, please," I
said to the barman a moment
later. And before rejoining
my partner I took a little sip
just to see if she was right.
"Was I right? She said.
I saw you taking a crafty
swig!"
"Excellent taste," I said.
She raised an eyebrow
quizzically. "Are you talking
about me or the James
You'll never know until you've tried it

Nonnally, when we think of plants, we think of things with roots and
~n leaves. In fact, of the 335,000 known species of plants, about 99
percent are just what we would expect. However, this description is too
simple. We can see this if we examine the two main subkingdoms of plants.
The firSt subkingdom, Thallophyta, includes many unusual plants.
Although most plants have little movement and are anchored to one spot by
roots, several plants in this classifJCation have no roots or have free-floating
roots. For example, algae can be found in this classiftcation, as can seaweed
The other subkingdom, Embryophyta, contains most of the ferns,
grasses, vegetables, flowers, shrubs, and trees we think of as plants. But even
here we can fmd unusual plants. For example, although moss is green, it has
no real roots. And fungus is not green because it draws its nutrition from
other trees or plants rather than producing its own food.
