Pre-reading task
1. Look at these titles of the following two articles. Find some
strange facts about…
… Professor Mangle-Wurzle
…Antarctica
2. Find other words for: mad, strange.
3. Decide which article you want to read in detail.
What questions do you want to be answered when you read the
article?
Where does Professor Mangle-Wurzle live?
How many people live in Antarctica?
Why is eccentricity considered to be a recipe for happiness?
Are there any living beings in Antarctica?
Could it be that being completely crazy is not only good fun but
good for your health?
4. Now read the article.
King of the Eccentrics
David Weeks, an American psychologist who works at the
Royal Edinburgh Hospital, is extremely well qualified to
comment on eccentricity. He is the author of a five-year study
of the Great British Eccentric.
One of his most striking findings was the good health that
eccentrics enjoy. Almost all of them visit the doctor only once
every eight or nine years. They are also a happy lot. They are
very curious about everything. This gives them a goal in life,
which is a recipe for happiness.
Of all the eccentrics he has come across, Dr Weeks believes
that professor Jake Jonathon Zebedee Mangle-Wurzle is the
most remarkable. ‘He displays all the usual characteristics –
he’s obstinate, non-conformist, and creative – but he’s more
extreme than my other cases.’
The professor lives on the outskirts of Huddersfield in his
very own kingdom of Wurzle-land. He rarely ventures out of his
kingdom except to perform eccentric feats, such as his famous
drive from Leeds to Huddersfield, in reverse.
He is something of a celebrity, giving free guided tours to
people from all over the world. He rejects all religious belief
and he preaches daily, trying to convert his kingdom to atheism.
The only problem with this plan is that all his followers are
sheep.
The professor has just divorced his third wife and claims he
is delighted. ‘It’s the best Christmas gift I’ve ever had.’ This
development might have been predicted by Dr Weeks’ research.
His study shows that there are more marriages, separations, and
