Reading passage 1
RICHARD BRANSON
Richard Branson began to publish Student Magazine with the help of friends, before he left school at age sixteen.
The following year, aged seventeen, he set up a Student Advisory Centre, a charity to help young people.
In 1970, he founded his first commercial company called Virgin, to sell music records by mail order. Not long after
that, he opened a record shop in London and a recording studio in Oxford. The company then continued to expand to
other areas.
In 1984, Branson established Virgin Atlantic airways. This company is now the second largest long-distance
international airline in Britain. In 1997, Branson took over two of Britain’s rail companies and immediately began to
modernize them. He also established a music store chain, Internet and mobile phone companies and hotels. The Virgin
company now has over 200 businesses altogether, in more than 30 countries.
Besides being a businessman, Richard Branson is also an adventurer. In 1986, for example, his boat crossed the
Atlantic Ocean in the fastest recorded time ever. A year later, he crossed the Atlantic in a hot air balloon. This was not
only the first hot air balloon to do this, but it was the largest ever flown, and it reached speeds of over 209 kilometers per
hour. Between 1995 and 1998 Branson tried several times to fly around the world in a hot air balloon, but he was
unsuccessful. A Swiss team achieved that record first, in early 1999.

Reading passage 2
CORAL REEFS
Coral reefs are found in tropical seas throughout the world and provide shelter for hundreds of different plants and
animals. They look like flat beds of rock, but in fact they are formed from the skeletons of tiny sea creatures. Almost one
half of the world’s coral reefs occur in shallow seas, near to the coastline of over one hundred countries.
Millions of people depend on these coral reefs for their livelihoods. The majority of products which come from
coral reefs, such as fish, shells and seaweed, can be sold, either locally or in export markets. Not only does the person
who collects the products earn money, but also those people who prepare, market or sell them. In some countries, coral
reefs are the main natural resource. In the Maldives, for example, 25% of the workforce is employed in fishing. In
addition, 56% of the national economy comes from reef-based tourism. This means that a substantial number of people
are employed in tourism-related jobs.
Fishing is normally an occupation for adult males, particularly where it involves the use of boats, and other people
are often excluded from it. Coral reef fisheries, on the other hand, are usually accessible on foot, so work is not restricted
to men. In fact, collecting fish and other products from the reefs is generally the job of women, children and even the
elderly.

 Womens occupations are not limited to reef fishing. In India and the South Pacific, for example, women help to
make and mend the fishing equipment. Fish processing is often done by women too. Such employment brings both direct
and indirect advantages. For example, on Ulithi Atoll in Papua New Guinea, women can obtain mahogany wood for
fishing boats in exchange for cloth they make and so gain more control over the household income. They can also apply
for loans or credit. This gives them more independence and status, both in the family and in the community.
