Scientists say the longest humans can live is
about 110 years. But Jeanne Calment and
Antonio Todde lived longer. How did they do it?
Jeanne Calment w a s born in Arles,
France, in 1875. She rem em bers
m eeting the artist Vincent Van Gogh
in 1888. ‘He cam e into my un cle’s
5 shop one day. He w a s looking for
paints, but in the end he decided not
to buy anything.’
Jeanne led an interesting and
very active life. She rode a bicycle
Jo until she w a s 100. At 114, she w as
in th e film Vincent and Me, and at
the age of 121 sh e recorded a rap
CD, ‘Time’s M istress’.
The secret of Jeanne’s long life is
J5 a mystery. Her husband, daughter
and grandson all died before her,
and her diet w a s n ’t especially
healthy. But Jeanne didn’t worry
about sm all thin gs and she w a s
20 never bored b ecau se sh e w a s
alw ays talking to people. Perhaps it
w a s Jeanne’s outgoing personality
and optimistic attitude that kept her
alive until she w a s 122.

25 A ntonio Todde w a s born in
Sardinia, Italy, in 1889 and lived
until he w a s 112. Antonio w a s a
shy, sensitive man. He only w en t to
school for a year and then he
30 started working on a farm. Antonio
w a s very fit and healthy. He didn’t
like cars and he never drove -
instead, he cycled everyw here.
W hen he w a s young, he often
35 cycled 50 kilom etres to w atch
television in a nearby town.
Why did Antonio live so long?
Perhaps it w a s b e ca u se, like
Jeanne, he cycled everyw here.
•Jo Perhaps it w a s b ecau se he had a
stress-free lifestyle, even though
he w a s very hard-working. Or
perhaps it w a s in his family: his
sister is 97 and his daughters are

w a s the reason for his long life. His
favourite m eal w a s pasta w ith

He’s one of the m ost expensive footballers in the world. He’s ^ *M m m $

been FIFA World Player of the Year, and he’s played for the world’s ^
best teams. He’s been his country’s national hero since the 1999
Copa America, but he came from a poor home in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
5 His name is Ronaldinho.
Ronaldo de A ssis Moreira w as born on 21st March 1980. ^ ^
Ronaldinho, which is his nickname, means ‘Little Ronaldo’. He’s JR
become a rich man in the last five years, but his childhood w as
tough. His father died w hen he w as only eight, and that’s w hen m tf^ w
10 he developed a passion for football. ‘I’ve w anted to w in ever
since I was young,’ he smiles. ‘I’ve always been very competitive.*
When he w as seventeen, Ronaldinho joined a local club, Gremio, and
he played in the Brazilian national team later that year. He m oved to Paris Saint-
Germain, France, in 2001. In 2003, FC Barcelona paid a transfer fee of €27,000,000
15 for him. That’s expensive, but Ronaldinho is a star player. Ronaldinho doesn’t just
care about football, though. Racism is a big problem in Europe, and it’s especially
common in football. In 2004, the French international, Thierry Henry, started a
cam paign against racism in football w ith a group of famous
footballers, including Ronaldinho. Football fans around

The earliest bicycles were hard to ride because the front wheel was bigger than
the back wheel. Then, in 1885, an Englishman called John Starley invented the
modern bicycle. Starley’s ‘safety’ bike had two wheels the same size. Bicycles
quickly became the most important form of personal transport in Europe.
‘Cyclo-cross’ bicycles, which look similar to road bicycles, were a popular
racing bike from the 1900s until the 1970s. Cyclo-cross races were cross­
country (not on roads) and the rider could get off the bike and carry it
over difficult sections.
Modern ‘mountain biking’ began in California, USA, in the 1970s.
Mountain bikes are different from cyclo-cross and road bikes. They are
smaller, have fatter tyres and are easier to
ride cross-country. Also, in mountain bike
races, you cannot get off the bike and
carry it. Mountain bike racing hasn’t
attracted as many fans as traditional cycle
racing, but its popularity grows
every year. In 1996, mountain
biking became an Olympic sport.
Millions of people have enjoyed
mountain biking and these days
mountain bikes are everywhere.
You’re as likely to see mountain
bikes on city streets as going
down mountains.

Reading

Alain Robert, 43, from Valence (France),
puts on his climbing shoes and looks up at
the building he’s going to climb today. It’s
the 427-metre Jin Mao Tower in Shanghai
(China), and Alain says he’s going to get up
it in 25 minutes. Alain is unique amongst
climbers. Climbing tall buildings isn’t
extraordinary; but only ‘Spiderman’ Alain
climbs skyscrapers without ropes.
In 1995, Alain climbed the 1 54-metre Hotel
Arts in the Olympic port of Barcelona and
then the 244-metre Canary Wharf building
in London. Two years later, he scaled the
452-metre PetronasTwin Towers in Kuala
Lumpur (Malaysia). This wasn’t easy,
because the towers are made of glass and
metal.
Although the police have occasionally
arrested him, Alain is never going to give
up climbing buildings. Some people say
he’s crazy, but Alain lives to climb.
‘There’s only one crazy thing in life,’ he
says, ‘and th a t’s not to follow your
dreams.’

Perhaps his most challenging

Alain started climbing early, when he was
12. He lost the keys to his parents’
apartm ent, but he didn’t w ait for them to
get home. Instead, he took off his shoes,
climbed up the front of the building to the
eighth floor, and got in through a window.
Climbing is dangerous and Alain has had
some nasty accidents. In 1982, he fell 15
metres from a building. After the accident,
he couldn’t climb for six months and he
had difficulty walking. But Alain didn’t
give up and he was soon climbing again.
experience, in 2004, was climbing
the 508-metre Taipei 101 tower
(Taiwan). With 101 floors, this
is the tallest building in the
world. It was very windy A
and it was hard to hold on
because the windows were
wet with rain. Alain was JJj
exhausted and he had to
stop at regular intervals
during the ascent, but he
didn’t go back. It took
him four hours, but he
carried on until he got to
the top.

Next month, 15-year-old Paul Rudd, from Hull, is

sailing in the Tall Ships’ Race. The race is starting in
Alicante (Spain) and it’s finishing in Portsmouth
(England). Paul’s very lucky: he’s going to be the
youngest person to take part in the race. And sailing
a tall ship is something Paul has always dreamed of!

What is it going to be like, Paul?

It’s going to be great! I’m not sailing on my own.
There are going to be about thirty other people on
the ship by the time we leave. I’m really excited!
Is the race going to be difficult?
Yes. The sea’s going to be rough in some places, so
we aren’t going to have much rest.
Are you going to miss anything while you’re at sea?
Well, it’s a 30-day race and we’re stopping in Lisbon
(Portugal) and Saint Malo (France). My parents are
meeting me in each port, but after we leave Saint Malo
the ship isn’t stopping again until we arrive in England. So
I’m going to miss my mum’s cooking - she’s going to cook
me a big meal as soon as I get home.

You probably use a computer almost every day. Computers
help us to communicate, they find facts, and they solve
problems. And these days, some computer programs can do
more than simply calculate: they can also learn from
experience. IBM's computer Deep Blue has beaten the world
champion chess player Gary Kasparov. Deep Blue learns
something new every time it plays a chess game and, unlike
humans, it doesn't get tired and it never forgets a move.
One day programs could think independently, too. A
company is developing a computer program called Hal,
which learns a language in the same way as humans.
Hal is not a 'chatbot?,
that is, a computer
programmed to speak
a language in a simple
way but without real
understanding. Hal

I? | as humans learn and
• w - M r. speak. Hal's teachers
want to produce a
computer that you
can actually talk
to without using
a keyboard.
as a parent teaches a child. They are very proud of Hal.
They say, 'Well done,' when Hal solves a problem
correctly. I f Hal gets an answer wrong, they will click
the mouse and tell it the correct answer.
E Hal's language level is the same as an 18-month-old
baby and its vocabulary is growing fast. It can now
make words into sentences. Hal knows that monkeys
eat bananas. It also enjoys games and bedtime stories,
the same as a small child. 'I'll read you a
story later,' his teacher promises.
Thank you, mummy!' replies Hal.
Hal calls his teacher 'mummy'
and she admits that she now
calls Hal 'him', not 'it'.
F With modern computers,
we can send emails,
surf websites and play
complicated games.
But powerful programs
like Hal actually learn
from humans. Anybody
can talk to Hal. But
remember: when you
speak, Hal will learn
from you. And computers
that can learn need
good 'parents'!

I : Mitra works for a software company in
Tew Delhi, India. He wanted to find out

ouestion, he invented the ‘hole in the wall’
experiment. He installed a touch-screen

5 How did th e children learn basic English?
About 80 street children used the ‘hole in
the wall’ every day. The children didn’t
have a word for 'computer', so they called
it ‘the thing'. They couldn’t read or write
in English, but in less than a week the
children learnt to log on to websites. They
found their favourite Hindi music. They
taught themselves how to draw pictures
on the computer because they didn’t have
paper or pens at home. Dr Mitra was
amazed how quickly the children learnt to
use computers.
Then, after a few weeks, the most
unexpected thing happened. A group of
children at a ‘hole in the wall’ opened a
program and wrote I love India, in English,
in big, colourful letters. These children
don’t go to school and they have never
had English classes. Many are illiterate,
but they recognised the alphabet from
websites and computer commands.
Dr Mitra couldn’t believe how quickly the
children could learn, not just about
computers, but also basic English, without
any teachers. ‘If every human has access
to a computer, will our world become a
better place?’ wonders Dr Mitra.

3 W hat else can you see in th e photos?
It’s 5 a.m. at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris,
France. A small, thin man is asleep on a bench.
Merhan Nasseri gets up at 5.30 every morning,
before the passengers arrive to catch the morning
5 flights, and he has a shower in the m en’s toilets.
Nasseri doesn’t work at the airport, he lives there.
Nasseri keeps a few clothes in boxes and he is
always very smart. Although he never has much
money, he never asks for any either. Airport staff
10 give him soap and toothpaste, and a little cash too,
sometimes. He saves the money to buy his two daily
meals. Nasseri spends his days reading and he has
written more than 8,000 pages in his diary.
Nasseri left his native Iran because life was too
15 dangerous there in the mid-1970s. He lived in various
places in northern Europe, and in 1988 he decided to
move to England. He flew from Paris to London, but
British customs officers wouldn’t let him enter
because he didn’t have a passport. When he
20 returned to Paris, French customs officers told him
to wait in the transit area because he didn’t have a
passport. He couldn’t go to London or leave the
airport building without a passport. That’s why he
still lives in the transit area at Charles de Gaulle
airport.
25 In 2004, Steven Spielberg directed a f il m t e l l i n g
Nasseri’s story. It’s called The Terminal a n d i t s t a r s
Tom Hanks. Now millions of people know who
Nasseri is. He has made a lot of friends at the airport
and staff there have given him a small sofa. ‘The
30 airport isn’t bad. I see people from all over the world.
It’s interesting, but one day I want to have a house in
England. If I had a house, I'd sleep in a comfortable
bed and I'd keep my clothes in a wardrobe,’ he says.
‘I’d be able to cook my own food and w ash my
35 clothes in a washing machine if I had a kitchen.’
The French authorities say that Nasseri will soon
have a new passport. This means he can leave the
airport. However, airport staff say that after so many
years Nasseri is actually afraid to
40 go. ‘If he left the airport, he
wouldn’t know what to do,’
said one airport worker.
The airport has become
his home and the people
45 there are his family.

Second conditional and quantifiers
O C Discuss what problems Nasseri might have.
Then read the interview and check your answers.
Journalist If people asked you, how would you
explain your situation?
Nasseri It’s quite simple, really. If someone
asked me, I’d explain how I lost my
passport and how I’ve lived here
ever since.
Journalist Do you have any problems living
here in the airport?
Nasseri A lot of people have said that they
would hate living here. But if they
lived in the airport, they would like it.
It’s true, I do have some problems.
For example, I’d be healthier if I
didn’t eat any fast food! If I went
outside for a few walks, I’d be
happier, too.
Journalist Do you enjoy being here?
Nasseri At first I didn’t, but now I like it. I
always have a lot of books to read. I
wouldn’t enjoy it at all if I didn’t have
any books. I have a lot of time to
read them!
Journalist And have you got much money?
Nasseri Oh, yes, I have got a little money. I
don’t need much money, though,
and I haven’t got many possessions.
As long as I can afford some food,
that’s all that matters.

Discuss whether you think life on a Native American reservation is hard or
relaxing. Then read the text.

The Navajo are th e largest Native
American tribe in North America.
There are 175,000 Navajo in Arizona,
New Mexico and Utah (USA). The
Navajo live on a large area of land
called a 'reservation'. There are a few
forests and lakes, b ut most of th e
reservation is dry. In the summer it's
very hot and in the winter it's freezing.
5 In the past, families worked on th e
land, but today a lot of young people
go to towns because there aren't any
jobs on th e reservation. In th e towns,
it's easy to find employment. There are
a lot of schools and shops, too.
However, some families like staying on
the reservation because they prefer
living a traditionallifestyle. If they
didn't do this, th e tribe's traditions
would be lost forever.
C The Navajo make a little money from
tourism . Tourists come to see th e
beautiful red-rock country and th ey
also come for th e famous Navajo
Nation Fair. The annual fair is a big
event on th e reservation. At th e fair,
you can see rodeos, a 'powwow',
Navajo song and dance contests and a
wild horse race. You can also buy
Native American jewellery and have
traditional food. The powwow is
probably th e most im portant and
traditional event. Originally it was a
meeting to prepare for war, b ut now it
is an occasion to see old friends and
to make some new ones.
D Although life is changing on th e
reservation, th e fair reminds young
people of Navajo traditions. And not
all young people w ant to leave
Navajoland. Joe Chee is fifteen and
he lives w ith his family in a
traditional Navajo house. The houses
are small and dark inside, and th ey
don 't contain m uch furniture. The
Navajo make th e ir houses from stones
and wood. Some houses also have
earth on th e outside to keep them
warm in winter.
E The Navajo like playing basketball
and th ey love rodeos. Joe enjoys
riding his horse on th e reservation.
When he goes to th e city, he misses
th e forests, th e lakes, and th e

 in England and Wales go to a state secondaiy school when
eleven. ‘State’ schools provide a free education for children.
5jme students go to ‘private’ secondary schools which their
have to pay for. Private schools often have fewer pupils per
state schools. And there is a more unusual type of private
toe ‘public’ school,
students at public schools are boarders. They have a
which they share with other pupils, and they stay at the
the whole term.
College is probably England’s most famous public school,
attend Eton between the ages of thirteen and eighteen. Eton
the oldest and most expensive schools in England, and its
,ve included Princes Harry and William,
at state schools start between 8 and 9 a.m. The morning
j at about 11 a.m. and lunch is at 12.30 . Most pupils bring their
ranch although some schools have a canteen, too. Afternoon
are 1.30 - 3 .30 , but after that there are a lot of extra-curricular
CUES and activities that pupils can choose. Computer clubs and extra
are the most popular.
A]La: of pupils at state and public schools have to wear a uniform,

V.hich science subjects are compulsory and which is not?
At .'.hat age do students take their pre-university exams?
Although Eton is expensive and exclusive, its curriculum is not
much different from a state school’s curriculum. In the UK, most pupils
have to study at least one foreign language. Most students choose
French or German, but Spanish is also popular. There are four
compulsory science subjects: maths, physics, chemistry and biology.
All pupils study design technology and information
technology. There are a few optional science
subjects, such as geography.
The compulsory arts subjects are English
language and literature and religious education, but
students can also choose from subjects such as art,
history, music and drama. Sports are popular and
students at most schools can play football,
rugby, hockey, cricket, tennis and
netball. PE (physical education) is
compulsory.
Pupils take ‘GCSE’ exams in about
ten to twelve subjects when they are
16 . Some leave school at 16 , but most
pupils study for two more years. Then
they take two, three or four ‘A’ level
exams before going to university.
Do you study the same subjects as British
pupils?
Do you prefer art or science subjects? Which
is your favourite subject? Why?

There are thousands of mysteries in the natural world
that we can’t explain. ’New’ undiscovered animals
often live in places which are difficult to reach. The
tops of mountains, the bottoms of the oceans and thick
jungles are the final frontiers of the natural world. It’s
often difficult to believe the strange animals that
people find.
At first, Europeans didn’t believe stories about this strar
Australian animal. Then, in 1797, the British took one I
to England. Unfortunately, it died before it arrived. The
scientists who examined the dead animal thought that i:
was a joke. They thought that the animal was a
combination of several animals made into one. It had £
duck’s bill with the body of a m am m al, and bird’s feet.

Colossal Squid

B For thousands of years people talked about them, but

Europeans didn’t see a real one until 1912. A Dutch pilot
who crashed his plane on an island in Indonesia saw
hundreds of these huge lizards in the jungle. They are
three metres long, with powerful tails, and they
will eat anything. The lizards are cannibals:
about 10% of their diet is animals of their
own kind. They have killed and eaten
humans, too. All that rescuers found of

Space programmes from different countries started
to w ork together. The result was the International
Space Station (ISS), a space city the size of a football
pitch. The firs t pa rt of the ISS was launched in 1998.
The ISS has been visited by astronauts from twelve
different countries, and it was the destination fo r
the firs t fou r space tourists. Anousheh Ansari, the
firs t woman space tou rist, travelled there in
September 2006.

Denis Tito became the firs t to u ris t in space when he
paid $10 million to visit the ISS in 2001. Two years
ater, a robot-vehicle called Mars Rover landed on
Mars. Scientists are now planning the firs t manned
mission to Mars.

In 1971, people watched the firs t space station Salyut 1
from Russia, fly into space. The American rockets
Voyagers 1 and 2 also started th e ir journeys to find out
about the planets in our solar system. Both Voyagers
carried pictures, natural sounds and music from Earth.
The race to space began in 1957 with
the Russian satellite Sputnik 1.
Sputnik was less than 1 metre long,
and was only in space fo r three
weeks. It was the firs t satellite to
fly around the Earth.
The race to space slowed down, but there
were still some amazing achievements. The
American space agency, NASA, built the
w o rld’s firs t reusable spaceship. They
called it the ‘Space Shuttle’ and its firs t
flig h t was in 1981.

After the satellite came the firs t man in
space, Yuri Gagarin, from Russia. His
spaceship, Vostok 1, flew around the Earth
ju st once. Finally, on July 20 1969, Apollo
11 landed on the Moon. The American
astronaut Neil Armstrong became the
firs t man to walk on the Moon.

adverts. Then look at th e photos and discuss w hy

Q Read th e te x t quickly and check your answers
to exercise 1.
Mja..
We see thousands of adverts every day - in the street, on
TV, in supermarkets, and in newspapers and magazines.
Every week m illions and m illions of dollars are spent
prom oting products in adverts. And if you thin k
consumers aren’t influenced by adverts (even ones they
dislike), you’re wrong! Adverts aren’t necessarily
successful if they are liked - they’re successful if they are
remembered.
People often remember a product which is
advertised using famous people. When we see the
trainers worn by a sports star, we imagine that we may
also be successful w ith the same trainers. Adverts which
use celebrities are expensive to produce, but they are
persuasive.
Many advertisers these days promote products using
very unusual adverts. In the USA, adverts are sometimes
printed on beaches by special machines. On busy
beaches the adverts are destroyed by midday, so the
Cm m
same advert is made again every morning. It is
impossible to ignore an advert that you have to sit on:
A more unusual form of advertising uses people's
faces. It is very popular with students because it is an
easy way to earn money. Colourful company logos anc
product names are painted on students’ faces by an
25 advertising agency. The students are paid to walk a rc. t
w ith the advert for a week.
Companies always want new ways to advertise th e -
goods, and every year adverts get more personalised.
Have you ever seen a ‘pop-up’ ad, one that suddenly
appears on your screen w hile you are logged on to th e
internet? If you are visiting a football site, you may
receive a small pop-up advert for football shirts, for
example. Pop-ups can be very annoying and very har: a
stop. But it does not matter whether we like the adve"
or not: more adverts mean more sales. How much c l: ser
to our lives can advertisers get? Where is the limit?

Q W hat is the connection between burgers and
pop music? Read the text and find out.
Luxury products such as Rolls Royce cars are
often referred to in pop songs, but the artists
aren't paid to do this. Not until now.The American
fast food company, McDonald's, has started to pay
pop artists to include references to Big Macs in
their songs. Every time a song that mentions Big
Macs is played on national radio, the artists are
paid about $3 by McDonald's.
- advertisers say that fans copy what pop artists
sing about. They think that if a song says 'buy a
Big Mac', then thousands of teenagers will buy a
Big Mac.
However, at least one New York teen is not so
sure. 'If I like something, I buy it. If I don't like it, I
don't buy it. It's that simple.' She says that most
teenagers prefer to make their own choices.

These days, digital cameras are used all the time. I think that
digital cameras are really good, but there are pros and cons
to this new technology.
On the one hand, they are extremely easy to use, so
anybody can take a good photo with a digital camera. You
don’t need to be as good a photographer as with
conventional cameras. Additionally, memory cards for digital
cameras can hold hundreds of photos, unlike conventional
ones. Another advantage is that it is quite easy to delete
photos from a digital camera if they are not wanted.
On the other hand, digital cameras aren’t perfect and
they have some disadvantages. First of all, they are very
expensive, so they are stolen quite a lot. Secondly, when you
have hundreds of photos, it is often difficult to look at them
on your screen. And because people delete the photos they
don’t like, most photos are never actually printed, which is
a pity. Finally, the photos from some digital cameras aren’t
particularly good compared to photos from conventional
cameras.
I believe that digital technology will continue to get
better and better, so I think that digital cameras are the
future of photography.
