The origin of the word “picnic” is unknown, though it was a borrowing from the
French, and

The simplest, most sensible, kind of picnic I know is where half a dozen walkers
sit down in an attractive spot to eat and drink whatever they've been carrying stuffed
in their pockets or down the front of their sweaters. At the end, they are heavier
inside and lighter outside, with nothing left over to hump along, except perhaps
some empty bottles. You need no implements, apart
from a knife and an opener. It
is a primitive, but convenient, arrangement which can happen anywhere, at any time,
on the route from one place to another. Everybody usually turns out to be overstocked
with some item which can then be bartered around until a balanced diet is achieved.
It seems to be only when the picnic has to be staged in one particular spot, as the
center – piece of a day's outing, that it starts to become an elaborate endurance
test. I have rarely met a child who did not enjoy the idea – and almost never a
father who did not detest
it. The worst place for apicnic is the beach. Sand is
a great infiltrator and saboteur. It furs the children's hands like gloves of
grit,
coats any ropped titbit with its peppery dressing, silts up the bottom of teacups
and turns the dental plates of oldsters into instruments of torture. You cannot stand
up or sit down, reach over or cross your legs, without sending up a volcanic cloud
of its tiny, glittering, rock – sharp
fragment. The only advantage that can be
claimed for sand as a picnic surface is that it is good to spill things on. One of
the joys of
family tea at our local seaside, inside the deck –chair corral formed
by dozing aunts and uncles, was pouring the last of your lemonade on to the
bleached–white dust and watching how the bubbles foamed like glass beads over the
dark –brown, molten–snake patterns.
In those days, we always had sandwiches, partly, I suspect, because the bread filled
you up cheaply. But also partly because its soft, spongy, damp wrapping protected
and stopped them dropping or popping from the incredibly clumsy hands
the fillings
of the young. Bread is now out – dated and unmodish
as a picnic staple. Working
tend to replace it with fruits and vegetables, cooked
as well as middle classes now
meats and packaged carbohydrates, cheese and hard – boiled eggs. The number of
things that have to be carried by the parental pack – horses have proportionately
increased.
Picnic by motor – car means that, as you set out, you have the illusion that there
is no limit to your freightage capacity. Why not take the folding – table, the

Questions 6~10
Extract 1
We, the undersigned, write with reference to the Hightown Local Plan, Consultative
Draft, March 1985, published by the Hightown district Council.
While we understand the need for a Relief Road to ease the problems of increasing
traffic in the area as a whole, we would like to express our concern at the proposed
route. As shown in the Consultative Draft, the Relief Road will cross Fernwood Road,
Golfcourse Way and High Lane, effectively cutting in half a prime residential area.
As residents of this particular area, we feel obliged to protest at the proposal
on the following grounds:
* There will be a substantial increase in traffic in the area not only with the through
– traffic, but also from traffic joining the Relief Road at the junction planned
close to Fernwood Road.
* At present, the area in question is a quiet residential area. With the Relief Road
and the volume of traffic envisaged, there is no doubt that …

It is foreseen that the Relief Road will be a dual, two – lane carriageway and that

over the next twenty years and that this route will be essential for through –
traffic joining the Hightown Bypass. Thus the Relief Road and the

It is intended that construction of the Relief Road be begun in 1989. This, however,
will be subject to approval by regional and central government. The Planning
Committee feel that the road is vital to a proper development of the area as a whole
and that therefore delays should be avoided. Thus arrangements will be made, through
public meetings, for direct representations to be made to the Coucil regarding the
proposals.
Extract 3
Both John and I hope that you are all settling down OK. You must write and tell us
what the new house is like.
By the way, your move was probably a good thing for you. We've just heard about the

to bring a Relief Road right through here. In fact, as far as we can see, it would

Questions 11~15
First the hamburger connection; now the songbird connection. The first link goes
like this. Citizens of the United States are hungry
for beef, especially in the
form of fast
foods such as hamburgers, frankfurters and the like. Yet beef has been
one of the most inflationary items in the consumer's weekly shopping basket.
So the US government has authorized imports of so called cheap beef from central
America—beef raised on pasturelands established almost entirely at the cost of
tropical forests. By trying to trim a nickel off the price of a hamburger, the US
has contributed, albeit unwittingly but effectively and increasingly, to the massive
loss of forests from southern Mexico to Panama.
Now the second link. A vast throng of North American songbirds spend their winters

species, totaling around half of all land birds breeding in North America.
