    Living with Tourettes


    Fifteen-year-old Michelle talks about a medical condition that affects about one child in every
    hundred.
    When I tell people Ive got Tourettes Syndrome, most people think that Im going to start swearing at them
    or saying horrible things. Thats how Tourettes is always shown in films and on TV, but actually only about
    ten per cent of Tourettes sufferers have no control over the bad language they use. Luckily, Im not in that
    group.
    Tourettes Syndrome is a condition that starts and develops in childhood. The main symptoms are tics.
    These are either small sharp facial or body movements, or sounds. The problem is that a Tourettes
    sufferer has no control over them and, while they might only be small movements like jerking your head, it
    can be pretty embarrassing, believe me! The worst thing is not knowing when this is going to happen, and
    if I go out with people that I dont really know, I get quite self-conscious.

    No one really knows what causes Tourettes and, at the moment, there isnt a cure for it. Its not so bad
    though, because the tics dont stop me doing anything I want to do, and actually I dont even take
    medication for them. Lots of people who have Tourettes only have mild cases, and surprisingly, most
    sufferers are actually school children. They suffer from tics like coughing, sniffing, blinking their eyes a lot
    and strange facial movements. It usually gets worse when children are between ten and twelve years old
    in their last years of primary school, just when they are starting to worry about what other people think of
    them.
    Luckily, only about fifty per cent of children who suffer with Tourettes continue to have it when they grow
    up. The tics usually stop by the time teenagers are eighteen, which means that many adults who had the
    condition as children are fine now. Thats quite a comforting thought and, even though Im used to my
    condition, I hope Im one of the lucky ones who doesnt have to deal with it when Im older.
    1. What is Michelle doing in the text?
    A. Explaining what Tourettes is and how it affects people.
    B. Giving advice for Tourettes sufferers.
    C. Complaining about people who dont understand Tourettes.
    D. Describing how she had Tourettes as a child.
    2. What does Michelle say is most difficult to deal with?
    A. Getting new people to understand her condition.
    B. Feeling uneasy about her condition when she is out.
    C. The unexpected nature of the tics.
    D. Not being in control of her body.
    3. Why does Michelle think Tourettes is particularly difficult for school children?
    A. They all have to take medicine.
    B. It gets worse when they are at an age when they feel self-conscious.
    C. It stops them doing things they enjoy.
    D. There is no cure for Tourettes Syndrome.
    4. What is Michelles attitude towards Tourettes and her future?
    A. She doesnt mind having it because she is used to it.
    B. If she has children, she hopes they wont have Tourettes.
    C. She hopes that it wont affect her later on in life.
    D. She is confident that she will be able to manage the condition.
    5. Which of these best describes what Michelle says?
    A. Tourettes symptoms are easy to cure in adults, but young people are more affected by the
    tics.
    B. Tourettes is an embarrassing and difficult condition to deal with, especially for teenagers and
    adults.
    C. Tourettes isnt as serious as they say on TV, but many young people have to face it.
    D. Tourettes is a misunderstood condition that is worse in teenagers, but which doesnt always
    continue into adulthood.

    B. Read the text below and choose the correct word for each space. (10 pts.).
