Black Friday
The day after Thanksgiving has become America’s biggest shopping day. Closed all day on Thursday, shopping
centres all across the nation open early on Friday. Some of them open at 12:01 Friday morning, while others
open at 4 a.m. Some “sleepyhead“ shopping centres, like Target this year, don’t open their doors on Friday
until 6 a.m. From Friday to the day before Christmas, this is the season when businesses make nearly 25 per
cent of what they earn in a year. This season puts many businesses “in the black”, that is, they make the money
they need for the year.
Reporters from local TV stations interview people who sleep in tents in front of the shops a day or two before
the doors open on Friday. These people patiently wait in queue to get products that are 50 per cent cheaper or
more.
“Oh, we have fun,” said one of the persons queuing. “We sometimes bring games to play, we watch TV and
order lots of pizza, and we often meet interesting people. And, most important of all, we save a lot!” The
problem, of course, is that only a very small number of products have big reductions in their prices. Apart from
a few big discounts, each shop has other things that are reduced from 10 to 50 per cent, saving shoppers from
$10 to $400 per item, and so Americans want to go shopping.
Not all Americans enjoy shopping. Reverend William Graham wants to change Black Friday’s name. “We want
to call it Remember Jesus Friday. People should start the season with the right attitude. Christmas has become a
Season of Shopping. We want to make it a Season of Giving. And we don’t mean giving material things. We
mean giving your back, your mind, and your hands. Help an old lady clean up her house. Teach a kid how to
read. Visit sick people in the hospital or in nursing homes. Give food to the Red Cross. Celebrate Christmas by
remembering Jesus and forgetting Santa Claus.”

KEEPING IT IN THE FAMILY
The Kardashians are currently one of the USA’s most well-known families. They are often in
the news, and Americans follow their lives in the papers and celebrity magazines. 1……….. The
Kardashians are reality TV starts, with their own family show called Keeping up with the
Kardashians.
It all started in 2007 when the family was asked by an American channel to make a TV series
about their lives. The show focused on mother Kris and her four children. 2……….. Their father
was lawyer Robert Kardashian, who died a few years earlier. The show became a success in its
first season, mainly because of the three sisters and their extrovert personalities.
Since then, there have been eight more seasons and the show is still running. 3……….. Two of
the sisters got married on the show. Kim got married twice! And two of the sisters are now
parents. Furthermore, the three sisters have used their fame to establish careers in the fashion
industry. They have opened clothes shops and launched several clothing collections and
perfumes. Kim has even launched a successful mobile phone game called Kim Kardashian:
Hollywood.
Although the show has many fans, it also has many critics. 4……….. They are irritated by the
sisters’ desire for fame and fortune, and think the show is meaningless. The Kardashians are
only ‘famous for being famous’, but they don’t mind because it has made them rich.
A She has three girls – Kourtney, Kim and Khloé – and one son, Rob.
B Throughout the series, many family events have been shown.
C But who are they and why are they famous?
D Other reality TV shows are about singing, dancing, or cooking.

F Kim married rap star Kanye West and has a daughter called North.
