The Importance of Meat Products

- Hello, Alice, haven’t seen you for ages!
- Nice to see you, Mary. What has happened to you? You look so tired.
- I’m not tired. Don’t worry. The fact is I’m going on diet now.
- Poor thing! What diet is it?
- I don’t eat meat and meat products.
- You don’t say so. According to nutritionists, life without meat is dangerous. Don’t you know that?
- But there is a different point of view. Alice, have you heard anything about vegetarians? By the way, vegetarian tradition has a long history. The vegetarians have very good health and can work much more than meat eaters.
- What a miserable lot dieters are! They are forever consulting caloric charts.
- I don’t agree. It’s a common knowledge that vegetarians live longer.
- And what of it? Mary, don’t forget, meat is one of the most nutritious foods. It is an excellent source of high quality protein. It contains large amounts of minerals and essential B complex vitamins.
- Perhaps, you are right saying this. But we can get the same nutrients eating such foods as cereals, vegetables, fruits, and fish. And another important reason is that having vegetarian diet we can avoid killing animals.
- Anyway, I’m convinced that the diet must be balanced. Let people eat both animal and vegetable food. The thing is that one should not overeat. It is overweight that is bad for health but not meat as it is.
- Let’s stop arguing, Alice. Tastes differ after all.

16. Прочтите текст «Job Satisfaction» и ответьте на вопросы.
Job satisfaction
Studs Terkel asked 135 people, from elevator operators to company presidents, “How do you like job?” while he was writing his book “Working”. Most of those people answered: “I don’t”.
Why do people dislike their jobs? The answer is often obvious. In today’s world of mass production and division of labour, few people are doing a job that is unique. Most workers perform tasks just like thousands or millions of other workers. As a result, few workers feel truly necessary or important. They seldom get the feeling of satisfaction.
The job satisfaction is also related to productivity. Some experts believe that workers’ productivity level has fallen throughout the world. On the other hand, it is known that workers today have better pay and benefits, safer working conditions and more job security. Dissatisfied workers do not perform as well as those who are satisfied.
The organization of business today seldom allows workers the opportunity of performing creative tasks.
17. Ответьте на вопросы к тексту “Job satisfaction”
1. What question did S. Terkel ask people?
2. Were those people occupied in the same field?
