History: the origins of the marathon
1 Read about marathons. How many kilometres are there in a marathon?

The marathon commemorates a famous event in ancient Greece. In Marathon

490 BC, a battle took place in the Greek town of Marathon between
the Greeks and the Persians. The Persian army was larger and stronger than Athens
the Greek army, but the Greek army resisted and miraculously won the
battle. A soldier called Pheidippides was sent to Athens to tell the people
about the Greek victory. Pheidippides ran the 40 kilometres between
Marathon and the capital without stopping. When he arrived, he shouted
‘We have won!’ and then died.
When the first modern Olympics took place in Athens in 1896,
a 40-kilometre running race between Marathon and Athens was
one of the events. It was called the marathon. At the London
Olympics in 1908, the organizers wanted the marathon to finish
directly in front of the British royal family in the stadium. As a
result, they added an extra 2,195 kilometres to the marathon!
Since then, all marathons are 42,195 kilometres.

The Victoria and Albert Museum (commonly known as the V&A) is a museum
of art and design in London. It was established in 1852 and is named after
Queen Victoria and her husband Albert.
The museum’s collections cover a wide variety of art forms from different
historical periods and from all around the world. These include architecture,
ceramics, design, fashion and paintings among many others. Visitors can see
everything from medieval sculpture to oriental carpets.
Many famous British designers have their work on display in the popular

there are fashion designs from previous centuries, including King James II’s
wedding suit from his 1637 marriage to Mary of Modena.
Special exhibitions are also held at the V&A. In 2013, there was an exhibition

Science: microwaves
1 Read about microwaves and microwave ovens. Then answer the question.

Waves are vibrations that transfer energy from one place to another. Imagine a
Mexican wave in a sports stadium. The people sit down until it is their turn to stand
up with their arms in the air and then sit down again.

Microwaves are very short waves of electromagnetic energy that

travel at the speed of light. Microwave ovens have a magnetron which
produces these microwaves at a specific frequency. The microwaves
travel through the food in the oven and the water molecules in the
food start to vibrate. This vibration or movement of the molecules
creates heat, which then heats the other molecules in the food.
Now you know how a microwave oven heats food, what’s the answer to this question?
Is it possible to cook dry food like rice or pasta in a microwave oven?
No, it isn’t. You have to put it in some water in order for it to cook.

2 Read the definitions and circle the correct answers.

1 a short wave of electromagnetic energy a) microwave b) superwave
2 a vibration of energy a) wind b) wave
3 a device that produces microwaves a) digital camera b) magnetron
4 an oven that cooks food using microwaves a) microwave oven b) gas cooker
5 to make something hot a) to destroy b) to heat

3 Label the diagram parts 1–3 with the instructions a–c.

a) Microwaves travel to the food 1

b) Microwaves make food molecules vibrate
c) Magnetron generates microwaves

Music: contemporary folk
1 Read about folk music. What instruments did folk musicians
play in the 1960s?

Folk music is the traditional music of a country, region

or community. Traditional folk music is played on local
instruments, such as the bagpipes in Scotland or the sitar in
India. However, in the 1960s, contemporary folk singers like
Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez appeared in the USA.
These folk musicians played guitars and sang about personal
subjects such as love and marriage or about more social and
political concerns like work and war.
When Bob Dylan released Blowin’ in the Wind in 1963, this
song soon became the anthem for the very active American
Civil Rights Movement and the anti-war demonstrations
taking place in the USA. In the song Dylan asks questions
about war, peace and freedom. He sings that the answers to
all our questions are ‘blowing in the wind’. But who can catch
the wind to find the answers?

ICT: e-commerce
1 Read about electronic commerce. What are some advantages and disadvantages to shopping online?

Electronic commerce, or e-commerce, is the process of buying and

selling goods on the internet or online. To do this, you obviously
need access to a computer, but you also need a bank account and
a credit or debit card. Online shopping is becoming more and
more popular. Most of the large chain stores that you find in towns
and cities across the country also have a website where you can
shop online. However, some shops actually only exist online.

Advantages
Online shopping is very convenient. You can shop at your leisure,
in the comfort of your own home at whatever time of day or night.
Websites don’t close!
You can often get value for money. There are price comparison
websites that show the shops that sell a certain product and the
different prices. By comparing prices, you can get the best deal.
You can return the goods you ordered if you don’t like them or if
they don’t fit, but you usually have to pay to post them.

Disadvantages
There is the opportunity for identity theft. Computer hackers can
gain access to your personal details and your credit card number
and then steal your identity.
You can only see photos of the product. You can’t see or touch the
product before you buy it so the quality might not be as good as you
expect. In some cases, a designer product might actually be a fake.

favourite websites.
