Living in the Ice Age
I'm a scientist and I arrived
here in Antarctica three months ago in December. The temperature is cold but
not unpleasant yet. Since arriving, I've worked with about 60 other people
getting everything ready for the Antarctic winter. It's been a lot of hard
work, but it was fun too. However, a few days ago the ship left taking most of
the staff with it, and it won't be back to fetch us until next December. So the
hardest thing to get used to is that there are now just fourteen of us because
I'm used to working in a large company.
I'm living on the same work
station I was on ten years ago. It was new then and it's still in good
condition and unchanged. The dried food we get is also the same - you forget
what real food tastes like after a few weeks. The people working here with me are
all different from then, but I’m always happy getting to know new people. Ten
years ago, we were able to send faxes to friends and family once a month, but
today we can send e-mails and talk on the phone so we don't feel so far away.
Last week we went out exploring
for a few days. We slept in our very thick sleeping bags to keep the cold out.
We always have to wear the right clothes and boots for walking on ice and snow.
We were joined together by a rope all the time in case we fell into any holes
in the ice. They're too deep to climb out of. The skies were clear and I
reminded how lucky I am to be here. Soon we will get amazing sunsets too.
1 What is the writer
trying to do?
A persuade people to work in Antarctica
B complain about his life in Antarctica
C describe his own experiences in
Antarctica
D suggest ways of improving life in
Antarctica
2 What is difficult
for the writer at the moment?
A He is working with a small number of
people.
B There is too much work to do.
C The weather is too cold.
D The ship won’t return for months.
3 In the writer’s
opinion, what has improved since ten years ago?
A The living accommodation is better.
B The food is more tasty.
C Communications have improved.
D His colleagues are easier to work with.
4 What particular
danger was there when they were exploring?
A the cold
B the holes in the ice
C getting lost
D slipping on the ice
5 Which of the
following e-mails did the writer send to a friend?
I’m getting used to being in
There hasn’t been much to do here yet, so I’ve spent the
time getting to know my colleagues and relaxing.
It’s good to be back here. I’d forgotten how beautiful
it is. I’m looking forward to seeing some wonderful sunsets.
C
I’ll send you my news as often as I can. It won’t be
long till I’m home, as I’ve already been here nearly a year.

Waiter!
I went to the cinema last week
and laughed all the way through the new film Waiter which is set in a restaurant. American actor Tom Waters
plays the worst cook the world has ever seen and he employs one of the worst
waiters, played by Joe Vermont.
The London restaurant where the
filming took place does actually exist. Jane Connors, the owner, runs a
successful business with many regular customers. However, although she thinks Waiter is a good film, she is very
annoyed with the director. When she agreed to the filming, she wasn't told that
the film is about a restaurant where everything goes wrong and the food is
disgusting. Although the film might make Jane's restaurant famous if it is a
success, she is afraid that people will stop coming because they will think the
food and service is terrible - like it is in the film. Jane is worried she will
lose business and may even have to close and start again with a new restaurant.
Having seen film, I agree that
she has a problem. The film company paid her a very small fee, and she has since
asked for more. The best solution, though, is for her to contact the
newspapers. I am sure they will be interested in her story and it will actually
help her business in the end.
1 What is the writer
trying to do in the next?
A advertise a restaurant
B review a film
C explain someone's problem
D take someone's advice
2 What do we learn
about Jane's restaurant?
A It is very popular.
B The food is not good.
C It is in a beautiful building.
D The waiters are unhelpful.
3 What did the
director not tell Jane?
A that the film would be a success
B that the restaurant in the film would
be very bad
C that she would not be paid
D that she would need to employ extra
staff
4 What does the
writer think Jane ought to do?
A open a new restaurant
B ask the film company for more money
C improve the quality of the food in her
restaurant
D write to the newspapers
5 Which of these is
an advert for the film?
Waiter! Comedy film set in a typical American town. Laugh at the mistakes of crazy cook (Tom Waters)
and mad waiter (Joe Vermont).
Learn
how to cook and be amused at the same time at this film made specially for

The businessman
There is a story going round at
the moment about a well-known journalist who went to interview Jack Parrish at
a smart New York restaurant. The journalist was late, but fortunately, when he
arrived, he found the great man was not yet there. On the way to his table, the
journalist noticed a colleague from his paper and stopped to chat to her. After
fifteen minutes, a waiter approached him. "There's some young man at the
door who says he's supposed to be having lunch with you. I think he's trying to
be funny, because he says his name is Jack Parrish!"
But of course it was. The
twenty-four-year-old is becoming famous for the fact that he doesn't look like
the owner of one of the world's most successful computer companies. His manner
is polite, his voice is quiet and his clothes are clearly not expensive. Two
years ago, when he started his own company, no one had heard of him. Friends
say that he hasn't changed at all. He hasn't even moved out of his parents'
house. So what does he do with his money? It's all used for business. But some
people in the computer world are getting nervous - and they are right. It won't
be long before someone in another company picks up the phone to hear that quiet
voice saying that he's the new boss.
1 Someone could find
out from this text.
A how Jack Parrish runs his business.
B what Jack Parrish said in an interview.
C how to get a job in Jack Parrish's
company.
D what the writer thinks Jack Parrish
will do next.
2 How did the
journalist pass the time while he was waiting?
A He phoned his office.
B He talked to another his journalist.
C He talked to a man at the next table.
D He interviewed a woman in the restaurant.
3 The waiter thought
the young man at the door of the restaurant.
A was a journalist.
B was behaving rudely.
C was not as old as he said he was.
D was pretending to be someone else.
4 What is the
writer's attitude to Jack Parrish?
A He is more important than he appears.
B He is a good example for young people.
C He should be more careful how he runs
his business.
D He would be an interesting person to
work for.
5 Which of these
headlines does the writer expect to see soon?
A Too much success too fast -
was that the end of Parrish's luck?
Jack Parish doesn't
worry about money - he gives it away to old friends
And the new owner of our
top computer company is Jack Parrish!
D SPEND, SPEND, SPEND -
how Jack furnishes his
new million-dollar
home

The Artist
People think being an artist must
be a wonderful way to earn one’s living. And of course, there are lots of great
things about working for oneself, at home alone, even in a cold studio like
mine. What I really like is that nobody tells me what time to start in the
morning. I like to paint as soon as I wake up, which is always early, but isn’t
the same time every day. And nobody tells me what to wear, or whether I can
take the afternoon off and go to a football match.
But then, I have no one to chat
with when I’m bored, no one to discuss last night’s match with during the
office lunch hour. Sure, I can spend the afternoon doing something I enjoy like
cycling or gardening if I choose. But the work will still be there when I do
finally get back home.
Unfortunately, working at home
means that people can always find me, whether I’m bored or not, and once I’ve
answered the doorbell, it’s too late- my thoughts have been interrupted. No one
would dream of calling in if I worked in an office, but I find myself listening
to friends’ troubles. As they talk, my ideas disappear and I feel increasingly
stressed thinking of my work waiting to be done.
However, when I hear the traffic
news on the radio, and imagine my friends sitting miserably in their cars in a
jam, feeling bored, or waiting unhappily for an overcrowded tram in the rain, I
realise that I really haven’t got much to complain about. I find a CD which
will start me thinking, turn it really loudly and begin another picture.
1. What
is the writer trying to do in the text?
A encourage
readers to work at home
B explain
why he has changed his job
C describe
his working life
D say
how he would like to work
2. What
does the writer like about his life?
A He
has plenty of opportunities for sport.
B He
is his own boss.
C He
needn’t work in the morning.
D He
has a comfortable place to work.
3.
What does the writer imagine he might do with
colleagues?
A have
meals in restaurants
B go
to the swimming pool
C spend
time in the countryside
D talk
about sport
4.
The writer plays loud music because
A the
traffic outside is noisy.
B it
helps him to have ideas.
C it
prevents him from feeling bored
D he
dislikes listening to the radio.
5.
Which of these notices would be most useful for the
writer to put on his door?

Lake Vinney
My favourite place for
watersports is Lake Vinney, but is has only existed since 1975 when the valley
was filled with water to provide electricity. Under the water is the village,
Vinnthorpe. Last week I talked to Pat Smithers, who runs a shop on the edge of
the lake and looks after the huge car park. She gets up early to travel her
shop to sell newspapers and food and doesn’t finish work till late because of
the car park. She said drowning the village was the best thing that ever
happened, as it brought a lot of business to the area, and the number of
visitors from all over the country continues to increase, especially as there
is a new road which means it is easier to get to. When I asked people enjoying
the watersports, they said they never thought about the drowned houses and
streets. When I spoke to some people sitting in the café overlooking the lake,
I was surprised to find they still get angry about what happened. They used to
live in Vinnthorpe and were moved to other places in the area, among them
thirty children who are now middle-aged, but they still miss the village. They
say that nobody asked them what they wanted – they were told one day that
everything was decided. They were separated from their friends and had to get
buses to new schools instead of walking there together. It is a shame that
these people lost their homes, and I hope something similar never happens again
in the future. I would miss the watersports if they weren’t there, however, and
I must say that I hadn’t ever thought about what was under the water until last
week.
1. What is the
writer trying to do?
A describe what
people think about the drowned village.
B persuade
people to take up watersports on Lake Vinney
C discuss what might happen to take Vinney in
the future
D explain why
people like living by Lake Vinney
2. What do we
learn about Pat Smithers?
A She lives
beside the lake.
B She used to
live in Vinnthorpe.
C She often
visits the area on holiday.
D She earns her
living near Lake Vinney.
3. What do we
find out about Lake Vinney?
A It attracts
tourists from abroad.
B
There are lots of houses on the banks.
C More people
are visiting it every year.
D Mainly local
people do watersports there.
4. What does the
writer think about Vinnthorpe?
A He agrees with
Pat Smithers.
B He feels sorry
for the people who lived there.
C He thinks it
should now be forgotten.
D He has always
felt guilty about water-skiing there.
5. Which of these
is an advert for Lake Vinney?
A.
|
Come Lake Vinney and
water-ski or sail. No ugly car parks, shops or cafés around the lake to spoil
the views. |
B
|
Come to Vinnthorpe and stay in a hotel in the village. Enjoy the
walks around the lake in complete peace and quiet. |
C
|
Lake Vinney is perfect for all kinds of
watersports. Wonderful café by the side of the lake and plenty of car-parking
space |
D
|
Enjoy water-skiing on
Lake Vinney, but leave time to visit the old village beside the lake –
nothing has changed there for 30 years. |

James
My name is
James, I’m fourteen, and I moved to this town with my family three months ago.
My parents lived here when they were young, but my brother and I didn’t know
anyone here except a few aunts and uncles we’d met when we’d spent a couple of
weeks with my grandparents, during school holidays. When I started school, one
of my cousins, Sophie, who was in my class, was very friendly for the first
week and I was happy to have a friend in a strange place. Then, for no reason,
she stopped talking to me and I felt very hurt and lonely for several weeks.
In the end I make some more
friends and I got to know them, I’ve been fine. Now Sophie is having a disco
party for her birthday next week and she has invited me. I don’t want to go. My
brother says he heard someone say she asked me because her parents said she had
to. But my mum and dad say it would be rude not to accept. Some of my new
friends are invited, too. How can I show Sophie that she can’t behave so badly
towards me without causing a family quarrel?
1. What is the writer trying to do in the text?
A explain a problem
B describe a family
C offer advice
D refuse an invitation
2. Who did James know in the town six months ago?
A no one
B a few relatives
C only his grandparents
D Sophie’s friends
3. At the beginning of term,
Sophie’s behaviour made the writer feel
A embarrassed.
B unhappy.
C grateful.
D surprised.
4. The writer wants Sophie to realise
A that he still hasn’t forgiven her.
B that her friends think she behaved
rudely.
C that his parents dislike her.
D that she has fewer friends than he has.
5. Which of these is an answer to the text?
A
Ask your friends to come with you and we can all have a good time
together.
B
Why not go to the party and ask Sophire why she stopped being friendly?
At least
everyone will know what’s
happening.
C
Please phone my parents and explain the situation to them, so that
they’ll stop worrying.
D
What about cooking a meal with Sophie and inviting all your relatives?
That
will be a good way to stop them
quarrelling.
