Passage 1
   According to the British magazine The Economist, land in Tokyo is so expensive that it would have cost more to buy Tokyo’s city centre than to buy all the land in the United States. Japan’s capital is also one of the world’s most overcrowded cities. The city’s commuter problem is so bad that people are employed just to push travelers onto the trains during rush hour.
   Therefore, there is serious talk of moving the capital city to a different place. The trouble with that idea, however, is that Tokyo is the headquarters of many multi-national companies, as well as home to the best universities. Most ambitious Japanese want to live there.
Passage 2
   Americans care a great deal about their appearance. You’ll see or hear advertisements from various kinds of media that tell people to lose weight, whiten their teeth, or have cosmetic surgery. These ads try to convince people to spare no efforts to improve their body image. In a survey of 432 Americans, over 50% of the women and 25% of the men wanted to have cosmetic surgery.
   Research shows that for first impressions among people, 55% are based on appearance, 38% on body language and only 7% on what you say. People really are forming opinions by looking at your clothes, your hair, your skin, and your size, and they’re doing it all in 30 seconds!
