Each appearance of the northem lights is unique. Often, several bands of light are seen like flickering curtains across the night sky. Or the lights appear as rolling smoke, The colour is usually a luminous green, often with a hint of pink along the edge, and occasionally with a deep violet centre. The science behind the northern lights The sun is responsible for the occurrence of the northern lights. During large solar explosions and flares, huge quantities of particles are thrown out of the sun and into space. When these particles meet the Earth's magnetic shield, they are drawn towards a circle around the magnetic North Pole, where they interact with the upper layers of the atmosphere. The energy released becomes the northern lights. This incredible display happens approximately 100 kilometres above our heads. If the solar activity is particularly intense, the northern lights suddenly explode and appear in the form of a bright circle around the moon for a minute or two, then just as dramatically disappear. All of this makes people wonder if what they have seen was real or just an Arctic mirage. Living legend Unsurprisingly, the spectacle of the northern lights has given rise to as many legends as there have been people watching them. During the Viking Age, the northern lights were said to be the armour of the Valkyrie (female warriors from Norse mythology) shedding a strange, flickering light. The Sami, indigenous people of much of the Arctic Circle, traditionally associated the northern lights with sound. Symbols representing the northern lights are found on the drums of the Sami people. The northem lights have several different names in the Sami language. They are, for instance, known as guovssahas, meaning the light which can be heard, Viewing the northern lights If you are dreaming about seeing the northern lights, you must remember that you are at the complete mercy of nature. The lights love to play hide and seek. Observing them is often a struggle between the viewer's patience and the lights themselves. By staying in the right area for at least a week, preferably two, you can be rewarded — unless the weather suddenly decides to obstruct your view with clouds. @UCLES 2018 {NTVOUINSERTIONN 10 15 20 25 Scanned with CamScannerText B Stargazing In some parts of the world, on a clear night, you can see about 4000 stars sparkling in our universe. Stargazing is best done before the moon is full, so it might be worth looking at the next new moon dates before you give it a go. The best time for stargazing is in winter — all the best starscapes can be seen then. If you get the timing right, a meteor shower can be an incredible spectacle. This does require a little patience though, so might not be ideal for the very youngest children Light pollution is a growing issue for amateur astronomers, but with many sites far away from towns and streetlights, you can still get a wonderfully clear view of the night sky. Make sure you take warm clothes — even on a balmy summer evening, with clear skies above, stargazing can get chilly. A hot drink never goes amiss either. ‘Some great stargazing spots can now be found on the Dark Sky Discovery network, an online map of all the fantastic places with a good view of the night sky. You should try to avoid sites with hills or lots of trees as these can block your view. Try to see if you can spot the glow of the Andromeda Galaxy. Two million light years away, this is the most distant object the human eye can see. If you use binoculars, you should be able to see Andromeda’s unusual egg shape. It wasn't until people saw the moon through binoculars that they realised it wasn't a perfect sphere either. On a clear night, it's easy to see the moon's craters and bumpy edges.

The islands just visible through the mist also looked like teeth, Faith decided. Not fine, clean Dover teeth, but jaded, broken teeth, jutting crookedly amid the wash of the choppy grey sea. The mailboat chugged its dogged way through the waves, greasing the sky with smoke. ‘Osprey,’ said Faith through chattering teeth, and pointed. Her six-year-old brother Howard twisted round, too slow to see the great bird, as its pale body and dark-fringed wings vanished into the mist. Faith winced as he shifted his weight on her lap. Atleast he had stopped demanding the nursemaid. ‘Is that where we are going?’ Howard squinted at the ghostly islands ahead. “Yes.” Rain thudded against the thin wooden roof above their heads. The cold wind blew in from the deck, stinging Faith’s face. In spite of the noise around her, Faith was sure that she could hear faint sounds coming from the crate on which she sat. Rasps of movement, breathy slithers of scale on scale. It pained Faith to think of her father’s little Chinese snake inside, weak with the cold, coiling and uncoiling itself in panic with every tlt of the deck. Behind her, raised voices competed with the keening of the gulls and the phud-phud-phud of the boat's great paddles. Now that the rain was setting in, everybody on board was squabbling over the small sheltered area towards the stem. There was room for the passengers, but not for all of the trunks. Faith’s mother Myrtle was doing her best to claim a large share for her family's luggage, with considerable success. Sneaking a quick glance over her shoulder, Faith saw Myrtle waving her arms like a ‘conductor while two deckhands moved the Sunderly trunks and crates into place. Today Myrtle was waxen with tiredness and shrouded to the chin with shawls, but as usual she talked through and over everybody else, warm, bland and unabashed, with a pretty woman's faith in others’ helpless chivalry. ‘Thank you, there, right there - well, | am heartily sorry to hear that, but it cannot be helped = on its side, if you do not mind — well, your case looks very durable to me — | am afraid my husband's papers and projects will not endure the weather so — the Reverend Erasmus ‘underly, the renowned naturalist — how very kind! | am so glad that you do not mind ...” Beyond her, round-faced Uncle Miles was napping in his seat, blithely and easily as a puppy on a rug. Faith's gaze slipped past him, to the tall, silent figure beyond. Faith's father, in his black priestly coat, his broad-brimmed hat overshadowing his high brow and hooked nose. He always filled Faith with awe. Even now he stared out towards the grey horizons with his unyielding stare, distancing himself from the chilly downpour, the reek of bilge and coal- smoke and the ignominious arguing and jostling. Most weeks she saw more of him in the pulpit than she did in the house, so it was peculiar to look across and see him sitting there. Today she felt a prickle of pained sympathy. He was out of his element, a lion in a rain- lashed sideshow. On Myrtle's orders, Faith was sitting on the family’s largest crate, to stop anybody dragging it out again. Usually she managed to fade into the background, since nobody had attention to spare for a fourteen-year-old girl with wooden features and a mud-brown plait. Now she @UCLES 2018 11 1V020NSERTIONNS 10 15 25 35 40 Scanned with CamScannerwinced under resentful glares, seared by all the embarrassment that Myrtle never felt. Myrtle’s petite figure was positioned to impede anybody else trying to insert their own luggage under cover. A tall, broad man with a knuckly nose seemed about to push past her with his trunk, but she cut him short by turning to smile. Myrtle blinked twice, and her big, blue eyes widened, taking on an eamest shine as if she had only just noticed the person before her with clarity. Despite her pink-nipped nose and weary pallor, her smile still managed to be sweet and confiding. “Thank you for being so understanding,’ she said. There was the tiniest, tired break in her voice. It was one of Myrtle’s tricks for handling men, a little coquetry she summoned as easily and reflexively as opening her fan. Every time it worked, Faith’s stomach twisted. It worked now. The gentleman flushed, gave a curt bow and withdrew, but Faith could see he was still carrying his resentment with him. In fact, Faith suspected that her family had antagonised nearly everybody on the boat.

CAMBRIDGE © UCLES 2015 Ineernational Examinations [Turn over Scanned with CamScannerText A Would you believe it? This story combines all the great mysteries and exciting discoveries of the sea, conjuring up visions of ancient sailors and sailing ships laden with riches. A Korean fisherman, on a small fishing boat, caught an octopus which had ancient pottery attached to its tentacles. This chance discovery is being hailed as one of the great undersea treasure finds of modem times. Experts say the valuable pottery dates back to the 12th century. The extraordinary discovery took place on what was for 58-year-old Mr Kim Yong-Chul ‘another day at the office’. It began when he took his boat out, desperately hoping for a good catch of webfoot octopus, which is a delicacy in the Republic of Korea. On this particular day. after days of fishing with no luck, he decided to try somewhere new, a few kilometres south of his regular fishing spot. Casting out a long line, he felt a familiar tug and hauled up his first octopus of the day. He was puzzled by several blue objects attached to its tentacles, and thought at first they were shells. A closer look revealed that they were pieces of pottery. Oblivious to the fact that he had made an incredible discovery, he cast out his line again and again, bringing in more octopus with fragments of pottery attached to them. Finally, he brought one up with a whole plate caught up in its tentacles. By now, Mr Kim realised that there had to be something important deep below. He had heard that divers had found several shipwrecks filled with ancient treasure, including pottery, along the coast. On his return to shore, he got in touch with a museum, which sent officials to examine the pieces. "You can imagine just how excited we were when we studied the remnants as well as the Virtually perfect plate,’ said one of the museum officials. ‘We arranged for an urgent exploration of the seabed, and although we did not find a ship down there, we were able to find thirty 12th-century bowls.” His colleague added, ‘It seems that a ship carrying pottery was wrecked. The ship must have been transporting the pieces when it went down. Although other ships have been found and pottery recovered, this is the first time a family of octopuses has located a wreck for us!” Mr Kim is to be rewarded by the museum for his discovery, but just what he will receive is being kept a secret for the time being. © UCLES 2015 sruonsine 10 15 25 Scanned with CamScannerText B Come and visit paradise! ‘Aruba is an exotic island paradise in the southern Caribbean sea. Just 32 kilometres from end to end, it offers the tourist a perfect location. It has a dry climate and is outside the hurricane belt, so thunderstorms are rare and, on average, there is less than 50 centimetres of rain a year. Aruba is a land of perpetual sunshine and a melting pot of cultures, as it is home to over| 5 90 nationalities. A family will never get bored! The plentiful beaches have white sands and inviting waters, perfect for swimming and sunbathing in a balmy 28-32°C. There is also a National Park to explore, as well as hiking trails where you can find abandoned gold mines and plantation house ruins, all in 32 square kilometres. Visit the old stone California Lighthouse in the far northwest of the island, which is like a sentry on the highest point, overlooking the | 10 island's western coastline of sandy beaches and rocky coral shorelines. One of Aruba’s most well-known landmarks, the lighthouse beckons visitors to climb it and experience the most spectacular 360° views. If you want a more active holiday you can learn to kitesurf in the turquoise waters, taught by one of the island's professionals. Younger members of the family can be a pirate for the | 15 day, sailing on a wooden ship, swimming and snorkelling at the best underwater sites. With a shoreline of 68.5 kilometres, there are plenty to choose from! Experience an unforgettable horse ride from one of Aruba's ranches, taking a trek to Conchi, a natural pool where you can have a refreshing dip before returning to enjoy the island's constant cooling breezes in your beachside resort. 20 ‘Those who want a more sophisticated experience can enjoy a visit to the capital, Oranjestad, which is home to a wealth of museums, as well as shops and restaurants. Getting to Aruba has never been easier. Aruba is served by a number of airlines, and connections can be made to any part of the world. There are over 100 flights every week to the US alone, as well as international flights to and from several European and Latin American | 25 countries.

While looking out of her bedroom window, Meggie spots a figure standing in the shadows outside her house. She immediately goes to find her father, Mo. ‘There was still a light on in Mo's room. He often stayed up reading late into the night. Meggie had inherited her love of books from her father. When she took refuge from a bad dream with him, nothing could lull her back to sleep better than Mo's calm breathing beside her and the sound of the pages turning. Nothing chased away nightmares faster than the rustle of printed paper. But the figure outside the house was no dream. ‘The book Mo was reading was bound in pale blue linen. Later, Meggie remembered that too. What unimportant little details stick in the memory. “Mo, there's someone out in the yard!" Her father raised his head and looked at her with the usual absent expression he wore when she interrupted his reading. It always took him a few moments to find his way out of that other world, the labyrinth of printed letters. "Someone out in the yard? Are you sure?” "Yes. He's staring at our house.” Mo put down his book. ‘So what were you reading before you went to sleep? Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde'?” Meggie frowned. ‘Please, Mo! Come and look.” He didn’t believe her, but he went anyway. Meggie tugged him along the corridor so impatiently that he stubbed his toe on a pile of books, which was hardly surprising. Stacks of books were piled high all over the house — not just arranged on bookshelves, the way other people kept them, oh no! The books in Mo and Meggie's house were stacked under tables, on chairs, in the comers of rooms. There were books in the kitchen and books in the lavatory?. Books on the TV set and in the wardrobe, small piles of books, tall piles of books, books thick and thin, books old and new. They welcomed Meggie down to breakfast with invitingly open pages, they kept boredom at bay when the weather was bad. And sometimes you fell over them. ‘He's just standing there!’ whispered Meggie, leading Mo into her room. ‘Has he got a hairy face? If so, he could be a werewolf. ‘Oh, stop it!’ Meggie looked at him sternly, although his jokes made her feel less scared Already, she hardly believed any more in the figure standing in the rain — until she knelt down again at the window. ‘There! Do you see him?’ she whispered. Mo looked out through the raindrops running down the pane, and said nothing. ‘Didn't you promise burglars would never break into our house because there's nothing here to steal?’ whispered Meggie. © UCLES 2015 srroersire 10 15 25 Scanned with CamScanner‘He's not a burglar,’ replied Mo, but as he stepped back from the window his face was so grave that Meggie's heart thudded faster than ever. ‘Go back to bed, Meggie,’ he said. ‘This visitor | 35 has come to see me.’ He left the room before Meggie could ask what kind of visitor, for goodness’ sake, turned up in the middle of the night. She followed him anxiously. As she crept down the corridor, she heard her father taking the chain off the front door, and when she reached the hall she saw him standing in the open doorway. The night came in, dark and damp, and the rushing of the rain | 40 sounded loud and threatening. ‘Dustfinger!’ called Mo into the darkness. ‘Is that you?” Dustfinger? What kind of a name was that? Meggie couldn't remember hearing it before, yet it sounded familiar, like a distant memory that wouldn't take shape properly. At first, all seemed still outside except for the rain falling, murmuring as if the night had found | 45 its voice. But then footsteps approached the house, and the man emerged from the darkness of the yard, his long coat so wet with rain that it clung to his legs. For a split second, as the stranger stepped into the light spilling out of the house, Meggie thought she saw a small furry head over his shoulder, snuffling as it looked out of his rucksack and then quickly disappearing back into it. 50 Dustfinger wiped his wet face with his sleeve and offered his hand. “How are you, Silvertongue?’ he asked. ‘It's been a long time.” Hesitantly, Mo took the outstretched hand. ‘A very long time,’ he said, looking past his visitor as if he expected to see another figure emerge from the night. ‘Come in, you'll catch your death. Meggie says you've been standing out there for some time. 55 ‘“Meggie? Ah yes, of course.” Dustfinger let Mo lead him into the house. He scrutinised Meggie so thoroughly that she felt embarrassed and didn't know where to look. In the end, she just stared back. “She's grown. “You remember her?" 60 ‘Of course.’ Meggie noticed that Mo double locked the door.
