Most of us have friends - but it's likely that only a few
of them can be described as close friends. Robin
Dunbar, a British professor of evolutionary
psychology, believes that the maximum number of

these are casual friends or acquaintances.We don't
meet them very often, but we might invite them to a
big party, for instance. But - according to Dunbar -
we don't normally have more than five close friends.
So who is a best friend? It is someone who's there for
you when you're feeling miserable - to give you
advice when you want it and to just listen when you
need someone to talk to. It might be someone you

I Uhif -iii·il·MiW : 69
More people have been into space or climbed
Mount Everest than have rowed across the Atlantic
Ocean. But on 5 December 2011 Jamie Windsor
and John Haskell, two firefighters from Cardiff, in
Wales, set off from La Gomera in the Canary
Islands hoping to do exactly that - to reach the
Caribbean island of Barbados in just a few weeks.
The two men decided to take on the Atlantic Dash
challenge after John's wife had been diagnosed
with cancer. They wanted to raise money for a
charity helping patients affected by the same
disease. Their families were supportive, but at the
same time quite astonished, as neither man had
ever rowed before. So for five months Jamie and
John trained hard for the race in the calm waters of
Cardiff Bay. But nothing could prepare them for the
long days and nights in the middle of the Atlantic.
The specially-designed boat meant rowers
could be self-sufficient during the crossing.
They had a device that made seawater
drinkable and food
stored in watertight containers. A big challenge
was that because race rules did not permit the
boat to drift, at least one of the men had to row at
all times. To ensure this, they worked out a two
hours on two hours off timetable. This was very
difficult for the two men, especially John, who
admitted that at one point he had started seeing
things due to lack of sleep. At one stage he
believed he was talking to an old woman on a
bike who was cycling alongside their boat!
The crossing was not without problems. As well
as John's hallucinations, the two friends had to
face what were at that point the worst storms
and
roughest seas of the new millennium, battling 10-15
metre waves at times. They also ran into
white-tip sharks and were nearly run down by
a cargo ship during a storm.

I'd really like to learn to snowboard. Do you have any

All the best,

Hi Jamie,
My holiday was great, thanks.
Yes, I did go snowboarding - to a place called Alp d'Huez in the
French Alps. Sam found a cheap offer and invited me to go with her.
I'm glad I did. It's a fantastic place for beginners to learn to
snowboard and the instructors are really friendly.
Unfortu nately, Sam can't go next year so I was wondering if you
might like to come with me? We could go to Alp d'Huez again - or
I've read some good reviews about Meribel, which is also a good
resort for beginners. My sister's been there - and she thoroughly
recommends it. Anyway, I'm sure we'd have fun together - let me
know what you think.We need to book in advance because they're
both quite popular resorts.
Bye for now,
Stefan

Our holidays come in all shapes and sizes!
From gentle tours in France to expeditions in the mountains of
Peru. You can journey across Thailand, experiencing its unique culture,
or race like a professional on a tour through the Italian
countryside.
All our trips are graded from beginner to advanced to indicate their level
of difficulty and come with the percentage of on- and off-road riding
that is involved.
Read the text below. For que stions (22 - 26 ) choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D).
The most important thing is appearance. Yes, it's a shallow thing to say, and it's certainly true that
one shouldn't judge another person by their looks. But just think: how else can you make a first
impression before you have a chance to impress someone with your personality? Both boys and girls
should
pay attention to what they are wearing. First impressions count when you want to ask someone out
on a date. Both boys and girls should aim to look smart. Dirty fingernails and scruffy clothes won' t
do anyone any favours. Try to wear something that makes you feel comfortable. If you feel at ease,
you'll also be more confident. If your clothes are bothering you, you'll be distracted from your most
important objective.
Once you've made a good impression, you can try to attract the person's attention by making eye
contact with them. Experts in body language sometimes refer to this as the 'eyebrow flash'. Catch
their eye, look directly at them and raise your eyebrows. If they like you, they' ll smile back right away.
If they don' t, you can still pretend you didn't mean anything by looking , and just walk away - without
having to adm;,de feat. The other person can smile back and mirror your body language. We all like
people who look and act like ourselves because it makes us feel more secure. Some people find
a direct, proactive person appealing, while some people get scared by this.
And what's next? It's always good to pay a compliment to the person you like, and in return it's nice
if they accept the compliment and pay one back. How do you do this? Just say something nice
about the other person - it doesn 't matter what it is so long as you think it's true. Once you've got
through all that, then you can begin to talk to each other! Try not to sound too nervous, don 't
giggle and keep
smiling. Always look interested in what the other person is saying, even if you know nothing about
the subject. Having had your first chat, you can now decide how you really feel and whether you still
want to go out with the person or not.

22 What do teenagers often have difficulties with?
A finding someone they like
B making conversation
C talking about their hobbies
D showing how they feel about someone
27 Zoe
It took me a while to accept the idea of social networking sites - but my two
teenage daughters told me to give it a try and I have to say it was a real eye
opener. I started off by trying to track down old school friends, and it worked -
I managed to contact people I'd lost touch with over the years, and I've even
met up with some of them. I can't say I'm addicted to these sites like my
daughters, but at least I understand the attractions.
28 Fran
I don't think there's anything really wrong with these sites - for keeping in touch
with friends and family, for example. However, if you find you are on 24/7, then
I'd say you've probably got a problem. What I really can't stand are people who
post thousands of photographs or videos or update their profile every day. To
me , that's a sign that the person is just using the site to show off.
29 Jack
If people have got nothing better to do than spend all their tree time on one of
these sites, they need to get a life. I can't understand why some people would
rather talk to friends in a virtual world instead of going out and meeting real
people. I've got a couple of friends who never phone me any more - they think
they can keep in touch with their instant messages. I'd prefer a real conversation
any day.
30 Harry
There are a number of signs that indicate a young person is spending too
much time on social media sites. You should be worried if your child is
anxious, stressed or feeling overwhelmed by normal routines; if they are
leaving homework unfinished or are getting bad grades at school; and if their
relationships with important people such as their family are suffering.

TEST.
31 Zach
For me, it's a way of connecting with such a huge variety of people - from all
over the world. You can share problems and experiencesin a matter of
seconds! And while we are constantly being told how so many of us suffer
from loneliness these days, social media seems like an obvious way to stay in
touch with people, wherever they are in the world, and to meet new people -
even when you're very shy like me!
32 Milly
I've used social media to help promote my business. I'm self-employed and it's
an absolutely brilliant way to communicate with my customers. I've built a strong
community around my brand, and my followers are interested and engaged in
my products. I like to entertain with what I post, though - to make my followers
laugh or tell them something they didn't know. Then people are more likely to
'like' the post and share it with others!

Since 1969 , Centrepoint has helped 72,000 young homeless people. Although a place to stay is
important, (34) _ , homeless children will become homeless adults. Additional support services
include a skills and employment team. Specialists within these teams help get young people back
into education, training or employment. Living rough can also have a real impact on mental health.
So Centrepoint helps these youngsters (35) _ and provides information on personal hygiene.
Centrepoint has contact with arou nd 1,300 young people every year. Their circumstances differ.
Some are homeless because of a breakdown in family relationships. But, (36) _ , the charity aims to
provide each person the individual help they need most.
One of the young people at Centrepoint, John, was only 15 years old when be first arrived. He had
been sleeping on park benches and in old buildings. Since his arrival, Centrepoint has helped to build
John's confidence and nurture his abilities, and he now hopes to go to university. Looking through
other life stories on the charity's website, it is clear that confidence and education are key words for
the young people (37) _.
The biggest challenge for many people being helped by Centrepoint is the next step: (38) _ into
the real world. Centrepoint bas an after-care service which provides support when looking for
accommodation and help with financial concerns, such as paying a deposit on a flat or paying the first
monthly bills.
Read the text below. For question s(39- 48) choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D).
A Famous Race
TheTour de France is known the world over and watched by millions. It is one of the most (39) _
endurance races in the sporting calendar. But how did it all begin? It all started when Henri Desgrange,
(40) _ of the cycling newspaper L'Auto, was looking for a way to increase sales and thought a race
would help him achieve this. He was right, as both the first Tour de France and L'Auto became
hugely successful, and a rival paper, Le Velo, was forced to go (41) _ business.
That first race took place in July (as it continues to do today), and (42) _ six stages, with 60 riders
cycling 2,500 kilometres over 19 days, cycling day and night. The winner of the first race was
Maurice Garin, a Frenchman, who finished the race in 94 hours, 33 minutes and 14 seconds. The (43)
_
with the modem race is striking - nowadays there are 20 stages, and cyclists cover a distance of 3,361
kilometres in 22 days. The fastest contestants complete the course in about 82 hours, and there are
nearly 200 cyclists who enter the race, although not all of them (44) _ it to the finish line.
The bikes have changed from the early days, too. The original bikes weighed 16 kilograms, (45) _
today bikes often weigh less than 7 kilograms. Because (46) _ cyclists bad to race at night, they
had lamps on the front of their bikes. One thing that has not changed is the colour of the (47) _
winner's jersey. The colour was
chosen by Desgrange because his newspaper was (48) _ on yellow paper.
Perhaps the greatest difference is the prize money that the riders can win. Today's winner can expect to
take home as much as £432,000, compared to £462 won in the 1903 race.

Burning Man
I'm sitting in the desert in Nevada, USA. l 'm waiting patiently for the climax of the alte rnative arts
festival (49) _ as Burning Man. Next to and (50) _ me are the friends I've made while living in
the camp here. The thirty-foot wooden man in the centre of the festival - the Burning Man himself -
is now on fire and we can feel the (51) _ as the excitement builds. It has taken several months to
build the man, and even (52) _ time was devoted to the design of the structure itself. It needs to
bum long enough for us to be able to see the breath-taking spectacle of perfom1ers dancing around
it,
followed by the perfectly timed fireworks display. As soon as the man falls, spectators and
participants pack up their camper vans and (53) _. Until next year, of course. I' ll be there for sure!
Schoolkid Billionaires
Think you've got a good business idea? Want to start your own company? Still at school? No problem!
Young peop le are proba bly most suited to being entrepreneurs, because there's less risk (54) _
a business when you're young. You haven't established (55) _ in a career yet, and probably don't
have a family to support. So you have (56) _ to lose - you should just go for it. That's what Mark
Zuckerberg did. He became a billionaire at the age of 23, thanks to the phenomenal success of
Facebook. Now is a better time than ever. so it's worth (57) _ business a try. Many countries
actively encourage young entrepreneurs via schemes (58) _ aim to provide them with the work
skills , knowledge and confidence they need. So. why not try to come up with an idea that you think
could be successful? You never know, it may even make you a billionaire!
