Country Walks
A. Lime House and Country Park
The house attracts thousands of visitors, but this is a pleasant walk (for the fit!) away from the crowds,
through parkland, woods and up onto the hills. Popular with bird-watchers. Allow three hours. The house
was built in 1570.Gardens closed to the public; information centre, cafe and souvenir shop open daily.
B. Howden Lake
This two-hour walk attracts thousands of visitors. When the water is low, you can see a village which was
flooded 300 years ago. Quiet cafe with beautiful views. Children can go sailing and windsurfing on the lake
with trained instructors.
C. Devonshire Park
Take a really enjoyable walk in the countryside surrounding the park. Allow at least half a day, or make it a
full day by visiting the adventure playground and farmyard (both great for young children). Stop at the
cafe(open all day) or enjoy the fantastic gardens, with beautiful fountains. Guided walks available for small
groups
D. Stanton
This walk is definitely for very fit walkers only - the tracks get very slippery after rain. Allow six hours and
start early! You’re unlikely to meetanother person all day. Fantastic views of farmland in the valleys below.
Be sure to pack sandwiches – you’ll be up on the hilltops all day.
E. Hope Village
A leisurely way to spend an hour or two is by visiting the busy village of Hope with its lovely old cottages,
traditional pubs and country gardens. A gentle walk towards the hills will soon bring you to superb views.
F. Strines
You need to be used to walking to successfully complete this seven-hour walk through the wildest scenery
in the area. Follow a little-known footpath to the highest point for miles. The traditional pub down in the
village serves hot food from 12.00 daily.
G. Cornford
This is an easy walk through a little-known valley beside clear streams with woodland flowers, birds and
animals. See the 200-year- old buildings from the cloth-making industry which now stand empty. Private
tours can be arranged. Allow half a day for the walk.
H. Langsett
After a steep climb, this is an exciting walk along easy paths, which are crowded at weekends (people come
from all over Britain to climb Langsett).The views are dramatic, and it's a popular place for family picnics.
Guided walks start from the nearby village (10 am Sundays) and visit 800-year-oldwoodland and ruins
dating back two thousand years.
Your answers
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Task 2.Read the passage and choose the correct answer for each question.
Teenagers and Sleep
Sleep is food for the brain. During sleep, important body functions and brain activity occur.
Skipping sleep can be harmful — even deadly, particularly if you are behind the wheel. You can
look bad, you may feel moody, and you perform poorly. Sleepiness can make it hard to get along
with your family and friends and hurt your scores on school exams. Sleepiness can lead to
aggressive or inappropriate behavior such as yelling at your friends or being impatient with your
teachers or family members.
Sleep is vital to your well-being, as important as the air you breathe, the water you drink and
the food you eat. It can even help you to eat better and manage the stress of being a teenager.

3
 Teens need about 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night to function best. Most teens do not get enough
sleep — one study found that only 15% reported sleeping 8 1/2 hours on school nights. Not getting
enough sleep or having sleep difficulties can limit your ability to learn, listen, concentrate and solve
problems.
Teens tend to have irregular sleep patterns across the week — they typically stay up late
and sleep in late on the weekends, which can affect their biological clocks and hurt the quality of
their sleep.
Consuming caffeine close to bedtime can hurt your sleep, so avoid coffee, tea, soda and chocolate
late in the day, and you can get to sleep at night. Nicotine and alcohol will also interfere with your
sleep.
A consistent sleep schedule will help you feel less tired since it allows your body to get in
synchronization with its natural patterns. You will find that it’s easier to fall asleep at bedtime with
this type of routine.
6.Sleepiness is harmful because ___________.
A.Our scores at school may be low and the relationship with other becomes worse.
B.Important body functions and brain activity occur during sleep
C.You can look bad behind the wheel
D.Can lead to appropriate behaviors or being patient with your teachers or family members.
7.In order to function best, teenagers need __________.
A.At least 10 hours of sleep each night C.About 8 to 10 hours of sleep each
B.Over about 10 hours of sleep each night night
D.8 hours and a half on school nights
8.All of the following are bad sleeping habits EXCEPT ________.
A.Having coffee or tea close to bedtime C.Having nicotine and alcohol
B.Staying up very late on the weekends D.Having the same sleep pattern
9.A consistent sleep schedule is very important because _______.
A.It will help you feel less tired during daytime C.Nicotine and alcohol will not interfere with your sleep
B.You have less difficulty in falling asleep at bedtime D.It is easier for you to fall asleep at any time.
