How old do you think they are? Read the text quickly to find out. {$25,000 may sound excessive for a tatty pair of jeans, but the ones in this picture are not an ordinary pair of Levis. They are said to be one of the two oldest pairs left. ‘They are certainly the most expensive! Discovered last year in an old coal mine in Colorado, they were initially sold for $10,00) and then sold on again at a higher price. Then Seth Weisser paid ‘even more for them. Co-owner of a store appropriately called What Comes Around Goes Around, he decided to contact Levis in San Francisco, ‘I sent them pictures of the jeans and they were delighted. They ‘would have paid $40,000, I think!” Levis has its own museum and Lynn Downey, the company historian, said: 5 Now read these statements about the text and say whether they are true or false. a There are no other jeans as old as these. b Seth Weisser paid $10,000 for the jeans. ¢ Lynn Downey is an employee of Levi’. The jeans are made completely of one material. wv ‘T knew this would be a treasure that everyone in the company would want us to have, so Levis agreed to pay one of the |highest sums ever for a pair of old jeans? “Apart from ahole in theft pocket and frayed edges at the bottom, the jeans are in remarkably good condition for their age. Ms Downey was able to date them by their leather patch, which was added ‘in 1886, and the single back pocket. A second pocket was added in 1902. She said: ‘Perhaps the most important reason ‘why Levis bought these jeans is that the ‘company lost everything in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and the first 50 years of our history was destroyed!

The children —Harry, 5, and George, 9 - really like games such as Connect 4 and Guess Who?, which involve working out problems. Because these are games of chance, the cleverest people don't always win — and ‘the children love beating us!” ‘The children both have computer games, but Vicky believes they find board games more fun. "We try to {imit how often they play on the computer because there's no social interaction. When they do play they get bored easily, but if we suggest a game of ‘something like Connect 4 they are alweys keen.

Read the article quickly to get an idea of what it is about and then: answer these questions. Don't worry too much about any words that you don’t know. a Where do northern white rhinos normally live? b Where is the Scripps Research Institute? © Which animal has the research team had a success with? How many deep-freeze tanks are at the Frozen Zoo? € How many northern white thinos are still living? Guessing unknown words 2. Inlines 14-17 ofthe article it says: They would be living specimens of one of the most endangered species on Earth, who after a few ‘months would be trotting into wildlife parks . You might never have seen trotting before, but you can probably make a guess as to its meaning if you think about what other words might also fit there ~ for example, walking, moving, going, running, etc. 10 \ unit 4 ‘The inside of a metal box filed with liquid nitrogen and ffozen to ~173°C (-280°F) is hhaly the ideal habitat for a large African ‘mammal. But, asa test tube is taken out of ‘the container amid a cloud of white gas, a note written on its side can be seen, "This is a northem white thing,’ says research scientist Inbar Ben-Nun ag she reads out the label ‘Ben-Nun is holding no ordinary scientinc sample For the frozen ces in that test tube could one day give rise to baby northern. White thinos and help save the species. ‘They would be living specimens of one of the most endangered species on Earth, ‘who after a few months would be trotting Into willie parks, and maybe, just maybe, ‘helping repopulate theirkind on the African grasslands. No wonder that the place Where the sample came ffom is caled the Frozen Zoo. ‘The Frozen Zoo was founded in 1972 at ‘San Diego Zoo's institute for Conservation Research ag a place to keep samples of ‘kin fom rare and endangered species, ‘At the time that the frst samples were collected and put into deep fieeze it was not really known how they would be used ‘and genetic technology was in its infancy. But there was a sense that one day some ‘unknown scientific advance might make use of them. Now, thanks to a team at the nearby Scripps Research Institute, that day hhas come a ot closer. Genetic scientists at Scripps, working from a business park in San Diego's northern ‘subuts have succeeded in taking samples ofskin cals fom the Frozen Zooand turning them intoa culture ofspecial cells known as stom cells and these could be used to bring ‘wililelong-dead animals whose species are ‘almost extinct, The breakthrough, so fa, has come with creating stem cells for the silver-maned drill monkey, Africa's most ‘endangered monkey. "The Frozen Zoo was a wonderful idea, says Dr Jeanne Loring who is leeding the The Frozen Zoo Scripps team of which Ben-Wun is a par, ‘This isthe fst time that there has been ‘something that we can do, If we could use animals that were alieady dead to {generaie sperm and eggs, then we can use those individuals to create greater genetic diversity’ Loring says. Lorng’s lab at Scripps holds samples from the nothem white rhino and the aril monkey, but the real Frozen Zoo, headed by Dr Over Ryder, usta few miles away. son ‘@ much larger scale. Housed in a building inside San Diego Zoo, its freezers contain samples from 8400 animals, representing ‘more than 800 series They inchnde Cahi Dears, endangered cattle breeds such as gaurs end bantengs, mountain gona, Pandas, a Calfomia grey whale and ‘condors The entre gigantic collection isin four deep-reeze tanks, ‘When itcomes to species stl on the brink Ryder is insistent that we have a duty to save them and that the Frozen Zoo can play an important role Especially close to Ryders heart is one of the species that “Loting is working on: the northerm white hina, Then are jot igh of thelaniinals Jeft alve on Barth.

Right up to the moment when I plunge through the ‘ce into the freezing waters of a mountain lake high in the French Pyrenees my day has been quite normal. I enjoyed breakfast at my hotel in the little ski resort of Saint-Lary. Then came a fine walk in the snow. What exactly made me book an ice-dive? Driving to nearby Piau-Engaly along winding roads, I struggle for an answer, climbing eventually onto a snow- mobile for the final five-minute bounce across the ski slopes to the meeting place. [7 Except for my guide, Nicolas Chapelle, who asks me if I really want to do this. Against my better judgement, I say, “Yes', 1 pick up a big iron bar and help him make a hole in the ice. Deep in my stomach a bitter cold expands at the sight of that growing two-metre hole. Chapelle asks me to take off all my clothes, except for my underwear, and put on a big rubber suit. I feel a bit concerned. In theory, anyone can do this — divers, non- divers, even non-swimmers. Yet standing by that ice hole, it seems suddenly less easy. I squeeze into the rubber gear like meat into a thick- skinned sausage, then put on the air tank, glancing ‘over at ski runs full of bright figures rushing past.
