The Amazing Race (TAR) is a popular reality TV show. Elise Doganieri and Bertram van
Munster created the original American series in 2001 and since then it has won many awards.
In the show, teams travel around the world to different places. They try to get there first, or at
least not come last and they also try to win prizes on their journey.

Every year, between 10 and 12 teams play on the show. There are two or four people on each
team and they must know each other before they come on the game. For example, they can
be husband and wife, parents and children, friends, etc. They have to travel to different
countries and work together on the journey. The teams get some money at the beginning of
the race and they use it to buy food, tickets, etc. They can use planes, trains, bikes or even
skis to travel.

The teams explore places they’ve never been to before and have games or “challenges”.
These challenges have some connection to the country they are in and can be things like riding
a camel, solving puzzles or eating a lot of food, for example. The teams often have to face
extreme weather conditions during their journey. Many times they are outside in the rain or
snow or in storms and get cold and wet. It’s all part of the experience, though.

Each week, one team leaves the show, and in the end there are only four teams. The first team
to get to the last city on the journey wins the game. TAR is a very hard game and the teams
become really stressed, but it’s an amazing experience.

1. What do teams in TAR do?

a. They do different sports.
b. They win awards and prizes.
c. They race to various places.

2. How many players are there on the show?

a. between 10 and 12
b. between 20 and 24
c. two or more

3. Which of the following difficulties does the writer mention?

a. wild animals
b. bad weather
c. strange food

4. What does the writer think of TAR?

a. It isn’t easy but it’s a wonderful adventure.
b. It’s best for stressed people.
c. It’s very dangerous but it can make you rich. score 8
