1
Many people are like their siblings in some ways, but twins are often even more alike. If you are born
at the same time as another baby and grow up with them, it is likely you will be similar to each other. But what would
happen if you didn’t know you had a twin? How alike would you be?
2
In the USA, a pair of identical twins was split up when they were adopted as four-month-old babies. Their new parents
decided on their names and without knowing it, both called their son ‘Jim’. These two boys spent all of their childhood
and teenage years living separate lives in different places. And it wasn’t until they were thirty-nine years old that they
got to meet each other for the first time. They were quite surprised to find how similar they were.
3
Although they didn’t look exactly the same, they were both six feet tall and weighed 180 pounds. They discovered that
during their childhood they had both had a dog named ‘Toy’ and as adults they had both married twice. Even more
strangely, both of their first wives were called ‘Linda’ and their second wives were called ‘Betty’. The Jims had each
had a son. One of them had called theirs ‘James Allan’ while the other named theirs ‘James Alan’.
4
The similarities didn’t end there. They discovered that they had both worked as sheriffs, owned the same type of car,
smoked the same cigarettes and drank the same beer. They also suffered from the same health problems, like severe
headaches. In later research on the pair, a psychologist* noticed that they both bit their nails. This was rather unusual
behaviour among identical twins.
5
However, while they were very similar, there were also some clear differences. For example, one Jim preferred to
express himself through writing while the other preferred speaking. They also had different hairstyles and one Jim had
married a third time while the other hadn’t.
6
Continued research on the Jim twins has proven to be very interesting and along with other research findings has led to
the discovery that the personality and identity of twins who have grown up apart is as alike as those that haven’t.
* Psychologist – someone who studies the human mind and human behaviour.
12 Read the article again. Decide if the statements are true (T) or false (F).
1 Research has shown that all twins are the
same as each other. F
2 The Jim twins were adopted at birth by
two sets of American couples.
3 Neither set of parents knew what the
other twin had been called.
4 The two Jims grew up in the same area
unaware of the other’s existence until
they were almost forty.
5 They expected to have a lot in common
when they first met in their thirties.
6 The two Jims were as tall and as heavy

12 Read the article and decide if the statements are true (T) or false (F).
Last month I saw a job advertised online which really caught my attention. It was for
a wildlife caretaker on an Island between Australia and Papua New Guinea. As
someone who’s always loved being outside and is interested in the environment, it
33
sounded like a wonderful opportunity. In fact, the more I read about the
responsibilities involved and what the successful applicant should be like, the more I
felt that this advert was talking to me.
The advert said that the successful candidate must have a deep interest in nature and
want to help look after the native wildlife of the island. They would have to be
motivated, hardworking and the kind of person that thinks outside the box – in other
words, is good at solving problems in different ways. Their main duties would
involve spending time with the animals in the wild and giving information to tour
guides to help them plan their tours of the island. They would also have to do some
research into the native wildlife and explore the island and its surrounding waters.
Additional duties of the job included writing articles and regular updates* on island
life as well as keeping a photo diary of life on the island, and the ideal candidate
would have experience of doing both. I immediately thought, ‘That’s me they’re
talking about. I have to go for this job!’ and sent in my application.
Now, I wasn’t expecting to get the job as there was a lot of competition. It’s not every
day that a job like working on Kimberley Island comes up. But I had a good feeling.
A week later, I got a call from an unknown number. It was an invite to go for an
interview. I can’t remember what happened in the days that followed as there was so
much happening but I can tell you that in two week’s time, I am flying to Australia to
start my dream job. I have to say, I’m feeling on top of the world!
* An update gives the latest news on a situation.
1 The caretaker job on Papua New Guinea

was advertised in Australia. F
2 The writer thought the job opportunity
was perfect for him.
3 The person who got the job had to be able
to think creatively and be dedicated to
working with nature.
4 In this job he will have to give regular
tours to groups that visit the island.
5 The successful candidate must have kept
a photo diary before.
6 It was so busy after the interview that the
writer has no memory of what happened.

Computer technology and happy cows
Cows that milk themselves? This is not science fiction, but a product of twenty first-
century technology. Farmers and scientists have created a farm where the cows
choose when they want to be milked using a computerised automatic milking system.
As long as they turn up for milking at least once a day, the cows are free to do
whatever they like. But how does it work? The animals are first attracted into the
building by automated devices like skin-brushing and scratching machines, which
they enjoy using. Nearby, there’s a robot, which scans a microchip in the cow’s collar.
The chip holds information about the cow’s milking history and health. If it needs to
be milked, the robot machine starts the milking process, while feeding it with a
protein and energy supplement at the same time.
Farmers who use this computerised milking system are very enthusiastic about it.
One British farmer we interviewed told us, ‘It’s amazing how the cows take to it and
it’s certainly the biggest step forward for dairy farmers in the last thirty years.’ There
are now more than eight thousand farms in over twenty-five countries around the
world using the new system. People who support it say the system not only saves
48
time and money, but also shows respect for the cows by allowing them to manage
their own lives. However, others claim it’s just another form of ‘factory farming’, and
has a negative effect on the animals.
1 Self-milking cows are b .
a) expected to become a thing of the future
b) in existence at this moment in time
c) going to evolve naturally
2 The new system has been created .
a) by agriculturally-orientated scientists
b) through cooperation with farmers
c) as a result of researching cows’ behaviour
3 Much of the time .
a) milk goes to waste
b) cows do their own thing
c) the scratching facility doesn’t function
4 Robots are essential for .
a) keeping data records up-to-date
b) scratching and brushing the cows
c) attracting the cows into the milking area
5 after having its collar scanned.
a) Not every cow is given supplements
b) Each cow automatically gets milked
c) A cow doesn’t always gets milked
6 One British farmer for thirty years.
a) has used the system
b) says this is the best dairy innovation
c) has developed this system
7 Over farms are now using this system.
a) 25,000 b) 8,000 c) 21,000
8 Those in favour of the system believe .
a) it gives the cows autonomy
b) that cows respect it
c) farmers can now better manage their lives
9 There is concern from some people that .
a) dairy farmers are losing their jobs
b) not enough countries are interested in the system
c) this system is not good for the welfare of the cows
12 Read the article again. Decide if the statements are true (T) or false (F).
1 The new milking system encourages cows
to be milked more than once a day. F
49
2 It is the smell of food that encourages the
cows to enter the milking building.
3 Cows are only milked when it is
biologically necessary.
4 The microchips on each cow’s ear collect
data on how much milk has been produced.
5 As well as giving the cows more freedom,
the automated milking system improves
their nutritional intake.
6 One British farmer is surprised at how
much his cows like the new system.
7 This new milking system is more efficient
and cost-effective than the previous one.
8 Everyone agrees that the new system
benefits both farmers and their cows.

The advantages and disadvantages of using public transport
In many countries, public transport, such as trains and buses, is still widely used by
people travelling to work or school. 1 However, as cars become more affordable,
some people are wondering if it is better to use public transport or not.
2
of public transport is that it is cheap to use. You only need to pay for
the actual journey and can often pay less if you pay in advance for a longer period of
time. There is no need to pay for insurance, road tax or repairs. 3 , it is a
good way to meet other people and make new friends, especially if you always get
the same train every day, for example.
4
, your time of travel is restricted to a timetable and it might not be
possible to get to every destination easily. Also, sometimes public transport is late,
delayed or even cancelled. Another disadvantage is that if it is very busy, you might
have to wait for another bus or train – either that, or you may not be able to get a seat
– and then there are further problems if you try to travel with a lot of luggage.
5
, however, public transport is a good thing. In general, the advantages
far outweigh the disadvantages. 6 drawbacks, but it is important to
remember that if we use public transport and not a car, we are helping the
environment by reducing the amount of carbon emissions produced by our journey.
50
We may also be reducing the number of traffic jams on the roads and the amount of
countryside that is destroyed when new roads are constructed.

Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock, Space Scientist
Born to Nigerian parents in London, my journey to success as a space scientist has
not been easy. When I was young, I was moved around a lot because of family
problems and ended up going to a total of thirteen different schools. I was also
discovered to be dyslexic* and was often placed in the remedial classes* 2 as a result.
Although I had dreams and ambitions for my future from an early age, when I told
teachers that I wanted to become an astronaut and go to the Moon I was encouraged
instead to go into nursing, a career which they considered to be more suitable for me.
Fortunately my family, especially my father, gave me a lot of real support and
encouraged me to follow my dreams. Without this I may never have succeeded in
leaving school with high grades in A-level maths, physics, chemistry and biology.
These results made it possible for me to then face the challenge of doing a physics
degree at Imperial College London, which I completed in 1990. After which, I went
on to gain a PhD in mechanical engineering.
My career in space science has, over the years, given me opportunities to work on a
wide range of exciting projects around the world and I have now become one of the
presenters of The Sky at Night, which is a TV programme about astronomy* 3.
Although I enjoy all the elements of my current work, I am now also keen to
encourage more children, particularly girls, into science. It remains a very male-
dominated profession even in this day and age. I strongly believe that science can
have a huge impact on our lives and know from personal experience that if you have
a dream and work hard, you can succeed. I appreciate every day how lucky I am to
love the work I do, and I still have a dream to fulfil in my future: to retire to Mars.

An equal right
When people talk about those who fought for women to gain the right to vote (known
as ‘suffrage’) in the UK, they don’t often mention Alice Hawkins. It is usually the
Pankhurst family who 1 b remembered for their part in the women’s suffrage
74
movement, but Alice Hawkins played an important role.
2
She born in Stafford in 1863 and began working in a shoe factory at the
age of thirteen. While working making shoes she saw that women

paid a lot less than their male colleagues and that their working conditions
were shown 4 a lot worse. So she decided 5 something about this
and joined the shoe trade union.
Luckily the shoe factory she worked for 6 as a worker’s cooperative and
employees 7 encouraged to take part in political activity. Whilst trying to
improve women’s conditions at work, Alice 8 also fought for women to have
the right to vote and frequently gave public speeches. She was often shouted at by
people who didn’t want women to vote, but promised 9 the fight whatever
the opposition. She was often warned

public speeches and was arrested many times. She was imprisoned five
times in total, but she never gave up. If she had done, women may never 11

An old Boeing 727 aeroplane might not be most people’s idea of home, but to Bruce
Campbell that is exactly what it has become. The retired electrical engineer from
Oregon, USA, who has a passion for aircraft, has spent over $200,000 creating a
rather special home for himself.
2
What he did was buy a retired Boeing 727, which he then took apart. Next, he had the
pieces transported to a ten-acre plot of land he already owned on the outskirts of
Portland and rebuilt the aeroplane in the woods.
3
Creating this unique home has been a slow process and so far has taken over fifteen
years but Bruce is careful to reuse as much as he can of the old aeroplane. He has
turned the cockpit* into his reading room, made one of the bathrooms usable again,
put in a temporary shower and added a clear floor so that you can see the original
structure of the plane. His unusual home also contains a sleeping area and a workable
kitchen.
4
At present Bruce lives in his aeroplane for six months of the year and spends the
other six in Japan. As well as finishing the Portland plane project,
he also has another idea that he is considering for the future: to buy another retired
aeroplane and create a second home in Japan.
5
So why is Bruce so keen on converting*2 disused aeroplanes into homes? He says
there are many reasons but that retired airliners are strong, well designed, secure and
made out of materials that will last. They also make an interesting and unusual home
and are fun to live in.
6
Perhaps in the future, as more and more aeroplanes are retired around the world,
other people will copy his ideas. At least in this way, the aeroplanes would not
become waste and would instead be re-used in a way which has a positive impact on
both the environment and the people who decide to make them home.

New words, same language
As with most languages, the English language 1 is constantly developing as a
result of changes occurring around the world, particularly to do with technology and
forms of social communication.
2
you were to try and find a list of new words from the current year, you
would be likely 3 find many you have 4 heard of, simply because
83
there are so many new words being created. Do you know, for example, what an
earworm is? And has anyone 5 called you an infomaniac or said you have a
tech neck? Let’s hope not.
An earworm, just 6 you know, is a tune or song that gets stuck in your head
and keeps repeating itself over and over again. What about an infomaniac? Surely
you can guess this one. Well, it actually refers to someone who 7 always
checking and responding to emails and text messages. I’m sure most people can think
8
someone like this if they try. And then there’s tech neck. Could you work
out 9 that means? It’s hardly a compliment as it refers to the wrinkles and
lines around the neck that are caused by frequently looking down at phones, tablets,
etc. So, next time you meet up with a friend and they’re 10 interested in
checking their emails than talking to you, you could teach them 11 few new
words to get the conversation started.

1 b These days, identity theft through the internet is a very real danger. While
some people are cautious about the websites they use and the information they
share, others are not.
2 The criminals who target us know exactly what they are looking for. They
also have a very clear idea of how they will use our information. The biggest
problem is that we don’t understand exactly what information they are trying to
find. Perhaps if we did, we’d be more careful when using the internet.
3 So, what can we do to keep our identity safe online? Well, the first piece of
advice would be to install anti-virus software on the equipment you are using and to
make sure it’s kept up-to-date.
4 Second, it’s important to create new passwords for different websites. Never
use the same one for two sites or purposes, especially the one which accesses your
main email account.
5 Remember also to only use secure online sites when you shop online and to
use public wi-fi with extreme caution. People don’t realise that when they’re using
this, it is incredibly easy for hackers to access their data. You should only use wi-fi
hotspots* for things you don’t mind being public.
6 So, the next time you’re about to do some online banking or type in a
password for a social networking site, stop and think. Ask yourself if you really
want all the information you’re about to share to go public.

Reading
12 Read the article and complete the gaps with headings a)–f).
1 d Free climbing is something that takes a lot of strength and courage. It
involves climbing rocks using just your hands and feet. In other words, you use
ropes and equipment but these do not help you climb. Instead, they provide support
if you fall.
2 In 2014, Americans Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson became the first
people to climb an extremely difficult part of the rock El Capitan.
The section they climbed is called Yosemite’s Dawn Wall, and is about 3,000 feet
high. In climbing terms, it is divided into thirty-two rope-length sections, which are
known as ‘pitches’.
3 Caldwell and Jorgeson’s aim was to become the first climbers to free climb
the complete set of thirty-two pitches. But they were also going to do it without
stopping to return to the ground. What’s more, they decided that if either of them did
fall during a pitch, they would restart and complete that pitch before they could
continue.
4 The first 14 pitches, which were said to include some of the more difficult
parts of the climb, took them only six days to complete. This in itself was a personal
record for them as they had never before got further than pitch 13 in the previous
years of attempting to climb El Capitan.
5 Two weeks into the climb, Caldwell had managed to free climb an
impressive twenty out of the total thirty-two pitches while Jorgeson was having a lot
of trouble with pitch 15. For ten days he had repeatedly tried to complete this
section but without success. He knew that if he couldn’t complete it, Caldwell
94
would have to continue alone. This was not something either one of the climbers
wanted.
6 Fortunately, on his eleventh attempt, Jorgeson managed to finish pitch 15 and
in a matter of days, both climbers had reached a height of 2,000 feet with only the
easier climbing left above them. After an incredible nineteen days spent on the rock,
the two young men succeeded in reaching the *peak of El Capitan. They had
achieved their record!
* The top or summit of a mountain.
a) Americans conquer the Captain

b) If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again
c) Getting past the worst of it
d) Not a hobby for the faint-hearted
e) Perseverance pays off
f) Feet off the earth

b) the same distance as a length of rope

b) to climb the same pitch at the same time
c) to complete it without leaving the rock
