Steven Spielberg is the most famous filmmaker in the history of
Hollywood. Since 1975, he has directed many of the most successful
American films, including jaws, EX - Use Extra Terrestrial, Raiders of the
Lost Ark, Jurassic Park, Schindler's List, and War of the Worlds, and he
has earned billions of dollars. Since he started making films, he has won
many awards, including three Oscars.

Even as a young child, he had a fascination for the film industry. He made
little films which involved crashes with his train set, and his friends paid to
see them!

Then he got a prize for his first real film, called Escape to Nowhere, when
he was only 13 years old. But he still couldn't get into film school, so he
studied English Literature at California State University.

While he was a student, he made another film called Amblin. Because of

this film, he got his first fob in Universal Studios, and he became the
youngest-ever director to work for a major film studio.

Steven Spielberg says that his snccess at work is because of his happy
family life. He has been happily married to his second wife, actress Kate
Capshaw, since 1991, and between them they have seven children. They
all live in California, where he now has his own film studio – Dreamworks
SKG. Although he is always busy, he only works from 9.30 to 5.30 during
the week, and never at weekends. Although he is one of the most
successful filmmakers of all time, he is a family man first!

Davina Moody Drama Queen
Los Angeles
Wednesday, February 8th
She arrived by private jet on Sunday morning with a 20-strong entourage,
including her PA (personal assistant), the PA to the PA, her hairdresser,
make-up artist, manicurist, chef, dietician, masseuse, personal trainer,
chauffeur, six bodyguards and, of course, a vet for her six- month-old King
Charles Spaniel, Pooksie.

By Sunday evening the staff at California’s Hollywood Hills Hotel, who

have met and looked after some of the world’s most famous and most
temperamental film stars, felt that this star deserved an Oscar for her off-
By Nguyen Hoang Thuc Doan 10
screen performance. Davina Moody was very moody, the moodiest of
them all.

Answer these questions:

1. How did Davina travel?

2. Who did she travel with?

3. Is Davina the first famous star to stay in the hotel?

4. Did the hotel staff enjoy looking after her?

READING 4
MlSS MOODY is in Hollywood to attend the premiere of her latest movie.
She has hired 17 rooms in the hotel at a cost of $40,000 a night.
Unfortunately, since her arrival, there have been a series of disasters.
These have given the usually calm and patient Arnold Baglioni, hotel
manager, a near nervous breakdown and played havoc with the normal
running of his hotel.

1. No red carpet!
The first disaster came very soon after her arrival. Davina climbed out of
her white stretch-limousine onto ... the sidewalk. There was NO RED
CARPET and Miss Moody NEVER walks on sidewalks. She hasn’t
walked on a sidewalk since she became a child star nearly 30 years ago.

2. No white roses!
Worse was to follow. The corridor leading to her rooms was lined with
roses. Davina loves roses but these were yellow roses. She wanted white
roses. She hates yellow roses. In fact Miss Moody hates anything yellow.
She has never worn anything yellow in her life.

3.The wrong lighting!

Davina travels with a ‘lighting director’. She has just employed a new
lighting director. He has the job of organizing the lighting in any room to
By Nguyen Hoang Thuc Doan 11
show her face to its best advantage. She likes pink lights. She looks
younger with pink ones. The lights in her hotel room were ... yellow! Miss
Moody has now moved rooms and fired the lighting director.

4. Fire! Fire!
A real disaster! At midnight on Monday there was a fire in the hotel
kitchens. The fire brigade arrived and ordered everyone to leave the
building. However, the hotel staff were too afraid to wake Miss Moody.
They decided to let her sleep. Fortunately the fire was small. After ten
hours’ sleep, Miss Moody woke in a bad mood. No one has had the
courage to inform her of the danger she was in.

5.The worst disaster of all!

Tuesday was the big day - the premiere of The Lady Loves To. Before it,
there was a special champagne reception. Hundreds of important people
from the movie industry were invited to greet the beautiful star. They came
and they waited ... and waited. Three hours and 500 bottles of champagne
later, Miss Moody’s PA to the PA rushed into the room. The explanation?
Davina was too upset to attend - she had a broken finger nail and nobody
could find the manicurist.

6. A happy and not so happy ending!

Davina Moody missed the premiere. Perhaps this was fortunate. This
morning’s newspaper headlines read: DAVINA’S $10,000,000 MOVIE
DISASTER. So her movie has flopped, and apparently the manicurist and
Mr Baglioni have run away together to start a new life.

Read the article again. Are these sentences true () false (X)? Correct
the false sentences.
1. Davina Moody has hired 40 rooms in the hotel.

2. The hotel manager has had a nervous breakdown.

3. She has been a star for many years.

II. READING COMPREHENSION

READING 1
I = Interviewer T = Tristan
I : What hours do you work. Tristan?
T: It depends. I sometimes have to work at night but I usually work about
eight to ten hours a day. It's hard to be exact.
I : How often do you have to work at night?
T: Well. I have to be on call two nights a week.
I : And do you have to work at weekends?
T : Sometimes. In this job you have to work very unsocial hours because
you never know if there'll be an emergency.
I : Tell me about your days.
T: Well, there's always variety and that's good. In the mornings I work
here in the surgery but in the afternoons I have to go out on visits - often,
here in the countryside, to farms.
I : What's the most difficult thing about the job?
T: Well, it's the night shifts really. When I'm on call at night I don't have to
stay in the surgery, I can go home but I can never relax. I can't watch TV

TODD CHRISTIAN, the Human Cannonball, has lost his job, because he
is terrified of flying. But it isn’t the enormous cannon that scares him, it’s
aeroplanes! He is quite happy to fly 30 metres above the circus at 80 kph,
but he won't get on a plane.

When Todd, 26, injured his leg during a performance, the circus said he
should go to Brazil for a special training course. But Todd refused to go.
He said, 'I know it sounds crazy, because I’m a human cannonball,but I
don't like long flights. If I’m on a plane for a long time, I start to panic.’

So the circus told him he had to leave his job. Todd said he was very upset.
He is now discussing the situation with his lawyer. He thinks he doesn’t
have to do the course.

Meanwhile, Brazilian Diego Zeiman, the Human Rocket, has arrived at the
circus to lake Todd's job. Senhor Zeman has already done the special
training course. I feel sorry for Todd, but this is my dream job and I’rn
very happy,' said the Human Rocket.

Marnie Dock, who became the world’s first female human cannonball at
the age of 16, is now the circus’s cannon trainer. She thought that Todd
By Nguyen Hoang Thuc Doan 34
should do the training course. She explained that the circus had to be very
strict, as the human cannonball performance could be very dangerous. ‘We
did it for his own safety,’ she said.

Meanwhile, the circus has offered him another job - as a clown.

My daughter Evie is living in London now. She went there four months
ago, and I'm really very worried about her. She says she's having a great
time but I just think London's such a dangerous place for a young girl, and
she's still only 18. She shouldn't live so far away from home. Her mother
went with her to help her look for somewhere to live. But I didn't go. I
don't like London - I don't like big cities. Why did she have to go there? I
By Nguyen Hoang Thuc Doan 35
don't understand. She says she wants to be a dancer, and she's doing a sort
of course, a ballet course or something. But ballet isn't a real job, and you
don't earn much money being a dancer, do you? She's a clever girl. I think
she should go to university.

She's living in a flat in London - with her boyfriend. I think, and I don't
like that at all! We've never met the boyfriend -Michael, I think his name
is. He hasn't got a job and so Evie has to earn some extra money - she
works at the weekends as a dancer in a theatre or club, I think. I just hope
it's a nice place. She phones home sometimes, but not a lot, and we phone
her, but so often her mobile's turned off or she doesn't answer. When I do
manage to talk to her, she just tells us that we should get a mobile so she
can text us. She says we shouldn't worry. How can we not worry? We're
her parents, we miss her and of course we worry, sometimes I can't sleep at
night. She really must come home more often.

I want to be a professional dancer, so I came to London four months ago to
start a course at the English National Ballet School. If you want a good
dance career, you have to go to a good school and you have to start young
- I'm almost 19, nearly too old! I know my parents are worried about me
living in London, but it isn't dangerous. You just have to be careful, that's
all. It was difficult in the beginning. I didn't know anybody, and London's
such a big place. But I love it now. There's lots to do and see.

I'm living in a small flat near the ballet school with Francine, another
dance student. We're good friends now. And I've also got a boyfriend! His
name's Marco and he's doing the same course. He still lives with his
parents, quite close to our flat. His parents are really kind, and I often
spend the evenings with them. I want to take Marco home to meet my
parents. But the train journey is expensive. And I haven't got much money.
London's really expensive, so Francine and I have to work every weekend.
We teach children's dance classes at a school nearby. It's good fun,
actually!

I phone my parents three times a week! My dad always sounds so worried!

He shouldn't be. I try to tell him not to worry but he doesn't listen. I love
my mum and dad very much, but I can't live at home for the rest of my
life. They really must come to London to visit me. And I think they should
get a mobile. Then I could send them text messages, and maybe they
wouldn't worry so much.

JOBS FOR THE BOYS AND GIRLS
A recent report by the Equal Opportunities Commission, called 'Free to
Choose', says that schools and employers are still recommending some
careers only for boys and others only for girls. The government has to take
action on this, says the EOC.

At school, boys and girls continue to study subjects that are traditional for
their gender, and they continue to get poor careers advice. Employers for
some jobs still choose young people because of their gender, not their
ability.

By Nguyen Hoang Thuc Doan 38

For example, less than 3% of men work in childcare in Britain, and only
1% of women work in building, engineering, and plumbing. So what’s it
like for someone to cross the gender gap at work?

Jenny, a plumber from Harrow, says she has to fight sexism and prejudice
every day in her job. A few years ago, while Jenny was studying
psychology at college, she had a problem in her bathroom and had to call a
plumber. ‘I watched the plumber while he was working, and I was
fascinated. I wanted to learn how to do it.’ But she has had a lot of
problems with male plumbers from the very beginning.

Jenny says, ‘Some of them have been really horrible. It's been so difficult
to change their negative opinion of me. They are so sure that I can't do
plumbing just because I’m female. One employer told me, “This is a job
for big strong men. We don't want women here.’"

But what do the customers think? ‘Oh, the customers have been great!' she
says. ‘A lot of them actually prefer a female plumber!'Jenny loves her job.
‘I get so much satisfaction from plumbing. I just love fixing things!'

What is her advice to other women who want to try non- traditional
careers? ‘You should definitely try it, but you have to be tough,' she says.

Alex was an engineering student in Sweden until three years ago. But he
found it boring and decided to change careers.

He has always loved children, and now he is a qualified male nanny (or
‘manny'!) to 18-month-old Jack. But he has had some problems. ‘There is
prejudice. A lot of people don't think that a man can look after a child as
well as a woman. Some nanny agencies didn’t want me at all,' he said.
‘Some parents didn’t want a man looking after their children. I had to wait
nearly a year for my first job.’

But does he like his new career? ‘I love it!’ says Alex. ‘Jack was 10 weeks
old when I started looking after him. I don’t think it's strange to feed him
and change his nappy - it's my profession. It's wonderful to be part of his
development. I love playing with him, and teaching him things as well.'
What is his advice for other men who want to work in childcare. ‘You
should go for it!’ he says. ‘Ignore the prejudice. Just show them you can
do it!’

R: Well, certainly a man has never applied for it before. Tell me, have you
always been a nanny?
A: No, not at all. I was studying engineering in Stockholm, and I knew I
could earn a lot of money as an engineer but it was boring, so I stopped
and decided to look at other careers.
R: OK I understand that. But why a nanny? Why did you choose this
career, a career in childcare?
A: Well, obviously it’s because I love children, but it’s much more than
that. You see my mother died when I was just twelve years old and I had
to help my father take care of my younger brother and sister.
R: Ah, I see. So you didn’t have to do a lot of training to be a nanny?
A: Oh yes, I did. 1 had to train for a year. I had to learn how to look after
children properly. Actually, I was the only boy on the course - so I really
enjoyed it!
R: So what kind of things did you learn?
A: Well, you know, how to change nappies ...
R: Very important!
A: How to cook healthy meals for children. How to play with them and
organize their days. We worked hard and we all felt fully-qualified for the

Read the magazine article and answer the questions.
Travelling at the speed of light!

I'm getting on the plane at Heathrow Airport when I realize that I don't
want to make this journey. I already feel tired just thinking about it, but if I
don't go now. I'll waste over £1,000 on my round-the-world ticket - so I
get on the plane.

5,500 miles and eight time zones later, I get off the plane in L.A. It is late
afternoon, but my body clock is telling me that it is 5 a.m. When I get to
the hotel, all I'll want to eat is toast and jam, not dinner. But if 1 don't eat
now, I’ll feel hungry in the middle of the L.A. night.

Next morning I wake up, and try to eat breakfast. Then I go on a quick tour
of Hollywood, before I catch my next plane. Another 5,500 miles later,
and another four time zones later, I get off the plane in Fiji. I am
exhausted, but this is paradise. When I have a proper holiday next year, I'll
come back here. I go to the hotel and lie under a palm tree. But all too
soon. I'm back at the airport.

Another 1,341 miles and an international dateline later, we arrive in

Auckland, New Zealand. Next I'm in Australia, flying from Sydney to
Fremantle. Unfortunately, I don't have a clear memory of New Zealand or
Australia, except for sheep, a seaplane, whales, and a waterside restaurant.
I am just too tired.
By Nguyen Hoang Thuc Doan 58
I wake up 1,603 miles from Fremantle, and I’m in Bali in the Pacific
Ocean. 1 have never felt so awake before! Bali is beautiful, and I really
enjoy my day here. If I ever get married, I'll come back here on my
honeymoon.

1,040 miles later, I'm in Singapore. How did I get here?

Then I'm flying home, still wishing I was back in Bali. As soon as I get
home, I know I'll start feeling bored!

My name is Ben. I am 32 years old and I am a travel addict. I've been back
home now for almost six months, but I know that I will always be an
addict. If I see just one travel brochure. I know I will want to go away
again.

By Nguyen Hoang Thuc Doan 59

Two years ago I was on an island in Fiji, at the start of a year-long break
that took me and my girlfriend, Jane, to 14 countries. We watched
fireworks over the Sydney Opera House at New Year, saw the sun rise
over the temples of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, and spent my 31st birthday
on a Thai beach.

It was without doubt the best year of our lives. No work, no boss, no
worries. No grey skies of Britain, just carefree months going into the
distance. True, there wasn't much money, but it didn't matter. We loved
having the freedom to go where we wanted, when we wanted. If we liked a
place, we stayed. If not, we just got the next bus out. We only had one
worry in the world. We knew we had to return to Britain.

Coming back was awful. We had huge debts, and we had to find work.
The routine of getting up, going to work, going home, eating, sleeping, and
getting up again is just about killing me. I'm finding it difficult to do what
other people tell me to do.

Before I went travelling, I worried about earning more money, buying a

bigger car, a house, etc. Now that I'm back, I don't care about those things
any more. I'm living like a student again, and saving all my money. As
soon as I have enough, I’ll be off on my next trip round the world.

Answer these questions:

1. How long ago did he travel?

2. What did he and his girlfriend go to Sydney Opera House for?

3. What did he see in Cambodia?

4. Why was coming back awful for them?

5. How does he feel the daily routine for him?

A PHOTOGRAPH THAT CHANGED THE WORLD
This is the first X-ray photograph. It was taken by a German scientist,
Wilhelm Konrad Roentgen, in 1896. It is his wife’s hand. The bones in her
hand (and also her wedding ring!) are clearly seen in the photo.

X-rays were discovered by accident, while Roentgen was experimenting

with electricity. Soon after, he built the first X-ray machine. Immediately,
hospital operations were made much safer. For the first time, doctors could
see inside people's bodies before they cut them open! In 1901, Roentgen
was awarded the very first Nobel Prize in Physics. His invention is still
used every day by doctors and dentists, and is called ‘the window into the
human body’.

Since the introduction of computer imaging in the 1970s, X-ray machines

have been used for other things, too. At airports, many criminals have been
caught with illegal items in their luggage. Also, lost works of art have been
discovered underneath other paintings. In factories, many faults in new
products are found every day, using X-rays. There is no doubt that new
uses for X-rays will be developed in the future.

Read the story of X-rays. Are these sentences true (T) or false (X)?
Correct the false sentenses.
1. X-rays were discovered by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1986.

2. The first X-ray photograph was taken by Roentgen’s wife.

The history of paper
Today, paper is used for hundreds of everyday things - books and
newspapers, of course, but also money, stamps, cups, bags, and even some
clothes. Long ago, before paper, people wrote on animal skins, bones and
stones. Then in 2700 BC, the Egyptians started to make papyrus, which
was similar to paper. But the first real paper was invented in AD 105 by a
Chinese government official, Ts'ai Lun. It was made from a mixture of
plants and cloth. The Chinese kept their invention secret for centuries.
Finally, in the 10th century, paper was brought to Europe by the Arabs.
The first European paper mill was built in Spain in 1150. Since the 18th
century, most paper is made out of wood, because it is much stronger than
cloth. Nowadays, each person uses about 300 kg of paper every year.
That's a lot of paper!

Answer the questions:

1.When was paper invented?

2. Where was the first real paper invented?

3. Who was it invented by?

The discovery of DNA
Did you know that a tiny piece of your hair gives us information about... ?
— who you are related to
— which career you could be successful in
— any crimes you have committed
— what illnesses you could get
— how and when you could die
This is possible thanks to the information in DNA (or deoxyribonucleic
acid). Your hair and eveiy cell in your body contains your own unique
DNA. It can tell you a lot about your family, health, and personality.
DNA was discovered by a German scientist, Friedrich Miescher, in 1869,
but nobody realized its importance then. Other scientists thought that it
was too simple to contain the map of how we are made! In 1953, a group
of British scientists at Cambridge University finally discovered the
structure of DNA and how it worked. They were given the Nobel Prize for
Medicine in 1962.

By Nguyen Hoang Thuc Doan 74

Gradually, scientists learned to ‘read’ more and more of the information in
DNA. In 1986, for the first time DNA testing was used by the police.
Some DNA is usually left by a criminal at the place where the crime was
committed. This can be matched with DNA from a suspect. The test shows
if the suspect is guilty.

In 1990 the Human Genome Project was begun. Scientists wanted to make
a map of the 3 billion chemical letters in human DNA. Over 1,000
scientists all over the world worked on the project, and it took 10 years.
With this information, it is possible that a cure for many diseases will be
found in the future. But it also brings with it many questions. Do we want
to be able to choose what our babies will look like, or pick the best person
for a job with DNA tests?

Google is the most popular Internet search engine in the world. It was
invented by two students, Lany Page and Sergey Brin. They met in 1995,
when they were both studying computer science at Stanford University,
USA. They were also both fans of the science fiction TV programme Star
Trek, and they loved the spaceship computer. They dreamed of producing
something that could also answer any question in seconds.

Internet search engines at the time were slow and gave many websites that
weren’t useful. In January 1996, Page and Brin decided to make a better
and faster search engine. They thought the results should be based on the
popularity of each website - the most popular ones have the highest
number of ‘weblinks’ (links to other websites).

Nobody would give them money for their project, so they used their credit
cards and bought as much computer memory as possible. They also
borrowed money from family and friends. Then, in 1998, they were given
a cheque for $100,000, and they started their own company. Their first
office was in a friend’s garage! The company name Google comes from
mathematics. A ‘googoF is a very high number - 1 followed by a hundred
zeros.

The Google search engine was soon used by thousands of people

worldwide because it was fast, easy and accurate. By 2002 it was the
biggest search engine on the Internet. Now, more questions have been
answered by Google than any other Internet service, from sport to science,
and from music to medicine. Google hopes that in the future all the
world’s information will be put on the Internet, so that everybody can find
everything.

Freeplay -the world’s first clockwork radio
The clockwork radio is the only radio that doesn’t need batteries or
electricity. It is powered by turning the handle for a minute. Nowadays,
thousands of these radios are made everyday. They are bought by people
in Third World countries where there isn’t any electricity.

The clockwork radio was invented in 1991 by Trevor Bayliss, a British

inventor. Trevor had the idea while he was listening to some news on the
radio about Africa. It was reported that Africans were dying of Aids and
there was no easy way to send them information about the disease.

But no one would help Trevor develop his idea for a new kind of radio.
Finally, in 1993, his invention was shown on a TV programme, and
afterwards, a South African businessman heard of Trevor's clever idea and
contacted him. The first Freeplay radios were built in South Africa in
1995.

Since then, the radios have been a great success. Millions of them have
been sold worldwide, and Trevor have been given many awards, including
one from Nelson Mandela. Trevor has hung a letter on the wall in his
house. It was written in 1991 by another engineer who explained in great
detail why he thought Trevor’s idea for a clockwork radio couldn't
possibly work!

TIGER’S LUCKY ESCAPE
A cat called Tiger, who was lost for three weeks in the village of
Streatham, has been found today. Tiger was discovered this morning by
builders under the floor in a new house. The builders heard a small noise
while they were trying to mend a badly-fitted waterpipe. The cat was taken
immediately to the vet’s. The vet said the cat only survived because it was
able to drink water from the broken pipe. Tiger’s owner, who was
interviewed by the local paper, said that for the first time in his life he was
grateful to bad plumbers.

STOP IN THE NAME OF THE LAW!

An 86--year-old man was stopped by police while he was driving the

Nisa Isaacs
I live with my parents in a shanty town outside the city. My parents collect
old newspapers and junk to sell. They don't make much money, so we're
poor. But I'm going to change all that. I love school. I'm studying very
hard, because I'm taking my high school exams next year. Then I'm going
to get a job in an office in town. But that isn't my main ambition. I really

want to go to university. So I'm going to work for a while to save some
money. I'm hoping to be an architect, then I can build my parents a proper
house.

Viktor Panov
I'm studying for my certificate of Education, but I'm not sure what I want
to study afterwards. I love doing art at school, so I might go to art college.
That would be fun. I might become a designer. But I also enjoy Russian
language and literature, so I might study that at university. I'll have to get
good exam results to do that. I'd also like to try living in another country.
I've got family in Germany, so I might live there for a while. Perhaps I
could study art and design in Berlin. That would be great!

Answer these questions:

1. Who is certain about what they want to do? Who is not?

company for 12 years. But I need to think what to do next.

By Nguyen Hoang Thuc Doan 97

Actually, I've always dreamed of emigrating to Australia. So I might try
that! I have a friend in Melbourne, and I'm sure he would help me to find a
job there. But if I went to Australia, my parents would be so sad. And they
wouldn't be able to visit me very much. It's so expensive. So I would have
to find a really good job so that I could come home a lot or pay for them to
visit me. That might not be easy. Another thing I might do is start my own
business, using my redundancy money. What if I started a computer
servicing company? People are always having problems with their
computers. If I did that, I'd have to work really hard in the beginning. It
wouldn't be easy, but I would enjoy it. I think.

At a crossroads in life Lucy
I'm so surprised! My boyfriend's just asked me to marry him! It was
terrible, because I couldn't give him an answer immediately. You see. I
really love my boyfriend, and I think I want to marry him sometime, but
not yet. He wants us to get married next June. That's only nine months
away. I think it might be better to wait. If we got married in June, we'd
have to save all our money for the wedding and a house. But I don't want
to do that. I want us to enjoy ourselves while we're young. I want to go
away and travel. I'd like to learn how to ride a horse and how to scuba-
dive. Oh, there's lots of things I want to do. If we waited a bit, we could do
all those things. If I got married now, I might feel trapped. That would be
terrible. But what if I told him I didn't want to marry him yet? Would he
understand? He might not. and I don't want to lose him. I do want to marry
him. I just want to put the wedding off for a while. That's all.

At a crossroads in life Maureen
Well, my husband died three months ago, and I've got to decide what to do
next. He was ill for a long time, so it wasn't a shock. But we were married
for 41 years, and I can't imagine life without him.

I don't think I want to live in this house anymore. Anyway, it's so big for
just one person. So I might sell it and move to a flat. I'd feel safer if I lived
in a flat, because there would be other people around. I think it might be
difficult living on my own. Or my daughter says I can live with her and her
family. So I might do that, but I'm not sure. I love my daughter and my
grandchildren very much. But if I lived with them, I wouldn't feel
independent anymore. And I'm still young - I'm only 68! I'm healthy with
plenty of friends. There's lots I can still do with my life, I'm sure. I just
need to keep busy.

Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, USA. A hot July day, and some of
the 3 million visitors who come to the park every year are watching one of
the geysers erupt. Everyone is impressed, but as they chatter excitedly and
eat their ice-creams, not many of them realize that they are standing on top
of the largest active volcano in the world. Scientists have known for a long
time that Yellowstone is a volcanic area. But the strange thing is that until
the 1960s, none of them could find a volcano anywhere in the park.Then,
new photos taken by NASA showed the reason why - the whole park,
9,000 square metres of it, is a volcano! Volcanoes like Yellowstone are
called ‘supervolcanoes’, because they are so huge and dangerous - 1,000
times more powerful than ordinary volcanoes.There are about 40 of them
on Earth, but none of them has erupted recently. The most recent was
74,000 years ago in Indonesia. The last time Yellowstone Park erupted
was 640,000 years ago.
But what would happen if the Yellowstone volcano erupted again today?
Here are the events that might follow:

Mark the sentences true(), false(X), or don’t know {?).Correct the

false sentence.
1. A supervolcano is a volcano which has recently erupted.

2. Not many people know that Yellowstone Park is a supervolcano.

3. Yellowstone Park is an extinct supervolcano.

4. About 40 supervolcanoes have been found on our planet.

5. The most recent eruption of a supervolcano was in Yellowstone Park.

6. It is unlikely that another supervolcano will erupt.

Day I -Yellowstone Park, USA
If the volcano erupted, hot ash and rock would shoot up into the air at
250kmph. The cities of Denver and Salt Lake would be destroyed
immediately, and 87,000 people would die. Eventually the ash would
cover 3A of the USA, and drinking water and food crops would be
contaminated.

Week I - Europe
The whole of Europe would be covered by a grey cloud. Summer would
turn to winter, and in some places the sea would freeze. No European
country would be able to grow food for four or five years.

The next 3 months - Worldwide

90% of our sunlight would be blocked and a volcanic winter would cover
the Earth.The tropical forests would die and food crops in warm countries,
such as India and China, would fail. Only countries near the North and
South Poles could carry on as usual. Iceland would do well, because most
of its food is grown in special greenhouses. It might be able to send food to
the rest of the world.

Al Brown, 31, from a small town in Pennsylvania, USA, had his own
delivery business for five years. When he lost it, he also lost his home and
his family. He now sleeps on the streets in New York. He has been
sleeping for a year. It was very cold at first, but after a while he has got
used to it. Street News is a magazine that is sold by homeless people in the
city. Selling newspapers gives them a small income, so they can begin to
save money for somewhere to live. Al Brown has been selling Street News
for six months. He usually sells one hundred copies every day. So far, he
has sold ten ones today. But it’s still early! He also has lots of friends but
he gets fed up with people who think he drinks or takes drugs. His problem
is homeless. He wants a job, but he needs somewhere to live before he can
get a job. So he needs money to get somewhere to live, but he can't get
money because he doesn't have a job and he can't get a job because he
hasn't got anywhere to live. He’s trapped! But now he’s trying hard to
make some money by selling Street News.

Read the complete article. Answer the questions.
When Alicia Hempleman-Adams was eight years old, she became the
youngest person to travel to the North Pole. But that was on a plane when
she visited her father, the British explorer David Hempleman-Adams. Now
the 15-year-old has decided to follow in her dad’s frozen footsteps. Next
month, Alicia is going to set off on a journey to the Artie that could put her
in the record books, as the youngest person to walk to the North Pole.

Alicia won’t be alone. Four others, including her physical education

teacher, are also going to walk the 200-mile route across Baffin Island in
northern Canada.

She has been training hard for the journey. She has been walking a lot with
a heavy backpack, and she has also been practising pulling a sled long
distances. ‘It’s going to be pretty cold,’ she said. ‘It’s -20°C at the
moment, and it might get to -30°C. But I think we’re prepared.’

Alicia has to be well-prepared if she wants to be like her dad. David

Hempleman-Adams, 48, has been travelling in the Arctic and Antarctic for
25 years. He has walked to the South Pole once, and the North Pole twice.
In 2000 he was the first to fly in a balloon over the North Pole. He has also
climbed the highest mountains in all seven continents.

By Nguyen Hoang Thuc Doan 117

Mr Hempleman-Adams said that it took a long time before he agreed to let
his daughter go on the trip.‘I am a little worried. It’s going to be very hard.
She’s half my size and a teenager, so I think the cold will be a big
problem.’

Alicia’s mother is also trying to stay calm about the trip. She thinks that
Alicia is too young to make the journey. Mr Hempleman-Adams said,‘My
wife has always thought I’m silly to be an explorer.’ And when his 90-
year-old grandmother heard of the latest plan, she shouted, ‘Oh, no, not
again!’

He said,‘If Alicia doesn’t finish, it’s not a problem. She’s got the rest of
her life to do it. You’ve got to enjoy it.There’s no other reason for doing
adventure.’

What advice does he give his daughter?‘Take it easy,’ he said.

Answer these questions:

1. Has Alicia been to the North Pole before?

2. Who is she going to walk with?

3. What has she been doing to prepare for the journey?

4. What has her father done in his exploring career?

5. What does he think about her trip? And what does he think her main
problem will be?

6. How do Alicias mother and great-grandmother feel about it?

Faster than her father
By Nguyen Hoang Thuc Doan 118
Snow girl wins in Arctic
The teenage daughter of the well known polar explorer, David
Hempleman-Adams, was celebrating yesterday. She’s just become the
youngest person to complete a route to the North Pole on foot.

‘It was amazing.’

Alicia Hempleman-Adams said,‘We were walking up waterfalls and
mountains, and across frozen lakes. It was amazing.’
Alicia has survived temperatures of -45°C and strong winds to finish the
200-mile walk in 10 days, two days quicker than planned. She has also
finished the journey faster than her father did it!
How does she feel at the end of her Arctic adventure? ‘It’s a really good
feeling. I’m glad we completed it. It’s more of an achievement.’

I’m extremely proud.

But how does her father feel about her achievement?
Mr Hempleman-Adams said,‘I’m extremely proud, of course. I always
wanted her to enjoy it. It has certainly given her a new maturity. I’m very
proud - and a bit annoyed! She took a day less than I did - of course, she
had much better skis than I had!’
Alicia is flying back to Britain today, as she is going back to school on
Monday. She says she doesn’t want to be an explorer, though. She would
prefer to do something ‘more arty’ in the future!

Answer the questions

1. What has she been doing to prepare for the journey?

2. What has her father done in his exploring career?

3. What does her father think about her trip? And what does he think her
main problem will be?

Fish has been eaten in Britain, an island, for thousands of years. In the
17th century potatoes were brought from Latin America. However, it
wasn’t until the 19th century that a Mr Marlin had the idea of putting fish
and potatoes together and making fish and chips. When he opened his fish
and chip shop in London in 1860 it quickly became popular with working
people who needed quick, filling meals.

By the 1920s there were 31,000 fish and chip shops in Britain, and
although this number is now only 8,000, there are eight for every
McDonald’s. A recent study found that Britain’s favourite fast food is still
fish and chips. Second, third, and fourth positions went to pizza (Italian),
duck (Chinese), and curry (Indian).

The traditional way to eat fish and chips is to buy them wrapped in paper
and to eat them with salt and vinegar. Originally, they were wrapped in
newspaper but most are sold in white paper now.
