Milo was asked to give a speech but hadn't realised how important the words he spoke were going to be! | | The waiters reappeared immediately, carrying heavy, hot trays, which they set on | the table. Each one contained the exact words spoken by the various guests, and | they all began eating immediately with great gusto. | “Dig in,” said the king, poking Milo with his elbow and looking disapprovingly at | his plate. “I can't say that | think much of your choice.” s | “| didn’t know that | was going to have to eat my words,” objected Milo. | “Of course, of course, everyone here does,” the king grunted. “You should have | made a tastier speech.” Milo looked around at everyone busily stuffing himsetf and then back at his own | unappetizing plate. It certainly didn't look worth eating, and he was so very hungry. 10 | “Here, try some somersault,” suggested the duke. “It improves the flavour.” | “Have a rigmarole,” offered the count, passing the breadbasket. “Or a ragamutfin,” seconded the minister. | “Perhaps you'd care for a synonym bun,” suggested the duke. | “Why not wait for your just desserts?” mumbled the ear! indistinctly, his mouth full 15. | of food. | “How many times must | tell you not to bite off more than you can chew?” | snapped the under-secretary, patting the distressed earl on the back. “In one ear and out the other,” scolded the duke, attempting to stuff one of his words through the earl's head. 20 “If it isn’t one thing, it's another,” chided the minister. “Out of the frying pan into the fire,” shouted the count, burning himself badly. | “Well, you don't have to bite my head off,” screamed the terrified earl, and flew at | the others in a rage. | The five of them scuffed wildly under the table. 2 | “STOP THAT AT ONCE,” thundered Azaz, “or I'l banish the lot of you!” | “Sorry.” | “Excuse me.” | “Forgive us.” | “Pardon.” 30 “Regrets,” they apologised in turn, and sat down glaring at each other. The rest of the meal was finished in silence until the king, wiping gravy stains from his vest, called for dessert. Milo, who had not eaten anything, looked up eagerly. “We're having a special treat today,” said the king as the delicious smells of home-made pastry filled the banquet hall. “By royal command the pastry chefs have 95 worked all night in the half bakery to make sure that -” “The half bakery?” questioned Milo. “Of course, the half bakery,” snapped the king. “Where do you think half-baked ideas come from? Now, please don't interrupt. By royal command the pastry chefs have worked all night to —” 40 “What's a half-baked idea?” asked Milo again.“Will you be quiet?” growled Azaz angrily; but, before he could begin again, three large serving carts were wheeled into the hall and everyone jumped up to help himself. “They're very tasty,” explained the Humbug, “but they don't always agree with you. Here’s one that's very good.” He handed it to Milo and, through the icing and 45 nuts, Milo saw that it said THE EARTH IS FLAT. “People swallowed that one for years,” commented the Spelling Bee, “but it’s not very popular these days ~ d-a-y-s.” He picked up a long one that stated THE MOON IS MADE OF GREEN CHEESE | and hungrily bit off the part that said CHEESE. “Now there’s a half-baked idea,” he 50 said smiling Milo looked at the great assortment of cakes, which were being eaten almost as quickly as anyone could read them. The count was munching contentedly on IT | NEVER RAINS BUT IT POURS and the king was busy slicing one that stated NIGHT | AIR IS BAD AIR. 55 | “| wouldn’t eat too many of those if | was you,” advised Tock. “They may look | good, but you can get terribly sick of them.” | “Don’t worry,” Milo replied; “I'll just wrap one up for later,” and he folded his | napkin around EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR THE BEST. | | | ‘The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster Underline the right answers. 1 Who was the guest of honour at the Royal Banquet?

But not everyone saw it that way. One word sums up people's response to the news that my parents are totally blind: incredulity. Incredulity that they could cook, get around, perform the general tasks of everyday life — let alone raise three children, including twins, while holding down successful professional careers. 5 My father Fred and mother Etta were both born, fully sighted, in Glasgow in 1937, but lost their sight during childhood. Etta was six when it happened; Fred 14. My mum was involved in a traffic accident; my dad, | was told from a very young age, “got a germ in his eye”. (It was actually a condition called double detached retina.) They met at the Royal Biind School, Edinburgh, at the age of 15, married at 26 and 10 had three children, all fully sighted, 15 months apart: Gavin in 1966, then, in 1967, my twin brother Leslie and me. We lived in a handsome, four-storey Victorian house in Kenilworth, a small, affluent town in Warwickshire. My friends assumed that we children must have had lots of chores to do: “Who does the cleaning? How does your mother turn the 1 cooker on?" But aside from the occasional shopping and washing-up duties and lawn-mowing (which | was paid for), we did little around the house except mess it up. My mother had weekly hired help with cleaning, but she still spent all day Friday in a whirlwind of scrubbing and polishing. The stair carpet would be swept at the edges before vacuuming; the entire basement floor would be scrubbed on hands 20 and knees. Windows would be cleaned, lightbulbs changed ~ Mum thought nothing of skipping up a stepladder. There was the occasional painless task: sometimes, on a Sunday night, a basket would be presented to me full of socks waiting to be paired up. And there was one almost daily chore that | hated, as it tended to clash with Grange Hill: tatty 2 inspection. My mum peeled the potatoes herself, but would worry that rogue “bad bits” would escape her probing fingers, and ask one of us children to check them aver for her. Every few years my mother did go away. She would leave for three weeks and return, fully trained up, with a canine addition to the family, a new guide dog. Misty, Candy, Beauty, Roma, Katy, Sheena, Promise, Innis, Wendy, Ralph, Raffles, Rona 0 = guide dogs were a constant presence during my youth, as both my mother and father had them, We all formed close bonds with these dogs and it was always very sad when one had to retire. For years I harboured an ambition to be a quide-dog trainer when | grew up. ‘Some other adaptations were necessary to bridge the gap between blind parents as and sighted children. Mum says: “We bought the ordinary Ladybird books and we had readers who used to come in, people from Kenilworth who volunteered to be readers, and they would tell me what was on each page and | would write a caption at the top in Braille. | knew the stories anyhow. So | read out the stories reading the caption.” ‘As we got older, Dad would come home with weird-looking games, such as 40 the chess set with spiky-topped white pieces and a board with raised squares. | @’ remember fondly the chess games | played with Dad as a child, and would find it strangely hypnotizing as his fingers darted around the pieces on the board while he weighed up his next move. Iwas always asked as a child: “Don’t you feel sad that your parents have never 45. seen you?” But that thought seemed to trouble others far more than it did me. The family photo album didn't exist in our house. I was in my late 20s before | saw a picture of myself as a baby because, of course, my parents did not own a camera. What also saddens me now is that Mum and Dad can’t see my children. And when | see my children’s puzzled faces when Grandma and Grandpa fail to respond to 50 their eye contact, | also get a pang. But when we discuss this, my parents give me their own empowering perspective. “Id like to have seen you but | don't think itis as important as people think,” says Etta. “1 think seeing is so primitive. Even a dog and a cat can see. Knowing a personality and knowing how you speak and what you say and how you say it, | think that's 55 more important than how people look. | don't think seeing is knowing.” Aticle from the Guardian by Julie Reid Underline the right answers. 1 Etta and Fred were born (blind, partially sighted, fully sighted). 2 How many years after meeting did Etta and Fred marry?

There was no label this time with the words DRINK ME, but nevertheless she uncorked it and put 5 it to her lips. “I know something interesting is sure to happen,” she said to herself, “whenever | eat or drink anything; so I'll just see what the bottle does. | do hope it!make me grow large again, for really I'm quite tired of being such a tiny litte thing!” It did so indeed, and much sooner than she had expected: before she had drunk half the bottle, she found her head pressing against the ceiling, and had to stoop to 10 save her neck from being broken. She hastily put down the bottle, saying to herself, “That's quite enough — | hope I shan't grow any more — As it is, | can't get out at the door — | do wish | hadn’t drunk quite so much!” Alas! it was too late to wish that! She went on growing, and growing, and very soon had to kneel down on the floor: in another minute there was not even room 15. for this, and she tried the effect of lying down with one elbow against the door, and the other arm curled round her head. Still, she went on growing, and, as a last resource, she put one arm out of the window, and one foot up the chimney, and said to herself, “Now | can do no more, whatever happens. What will become of me?” Luckily for Alice, the little magic bottle had now had its full effect, and she grew no 20 larger: stil it was very uncomfortable, and, as there seemed to be no sort of chance of her ever getting out of the room again, no wonder she felt unhappy. “It was much pleasanter at home,” thought poor Alice, “when one wasn’t always growing larger and smaller, and being ordered about by mice and rabbits. | almost wish | hadn’t gone down that rabbit-hole — and yet - and yet - it's rather curious, 25. you know, this sort of life! 1 do wonder what can have happened to me! When | used to read fairy-tales, | fancied that kind of thing never happened, and now here am in the middle of one! There ought to be a book written about me, that there ought! And when I grow up, I'll write one — but I'm grown up now," she added in a sorrowful tone; “at least there's no room to grow up any more here.” 0 “But then,” thought Alice, “shall | never get any older than | am now? That'll be a comfort, one way - never to be an old woman - but then — always to have lessons to learn! Oh, | shouldn't like that!” “Oh, you foolish Alice!” she answered herself. “How can you learn lessons in here? Why, there's hardly any room for you, and no room for any lesson-books!” 35 ‘And so she went on, taking first one side and then the other, and making quite a conversation of it altogether; but after a few minutes she heard a voice outside, and stopped to listen. From Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carrol Underline the right answers. 1 The little bottle (did/didn’t) have the label ‘DRINK ME’. 2-3 Who had been ordering Alice about?

At this time Jews were rounded up and sent to concentration camps where many died. Anne Frank and her family went into hiding with another family, the Van Daans, where they lived for over two years before being discovered. While hiding from the Nazis Anne wrote a diary. SUNDAY 12 JULY 1942 " They were all so nice to me a month ago because of my birthday, and yet every day | feel myself drifting further away from Mother and Margot. | worked hard today and they praised me, only to start picking on me again five minutes later. You can easily see the difference between the way they deal with Margot and the way they deal with me. For example, Margot broke the vacuum cleaner, and because of that we've been without light for the rest of the day. Mother said, “Well, Margot, it’s easy to see you're not used to working; otherwise, you'd have known better than to yank the plug out by the cord.” Margot made some reply, and that was the end of the story. But this afternoon, when | wanted to rewrite something on Mother's shopping list because her handwriting is so hard to read, she wouldn't let me. She ticked me off again, and the whole family got involved. don't fit in with them, and I've felt that clearly in the last few weeks. They're so sentimental together, but I'd rather be sentimental on my own. They're always saying how nice it is with the four of us, and that we get along so well, without giving a moment's thought to the fact that | don’t feel that way. Daddy's the only one who understands me, now and again, though he usually sides with Mother and Margot. Another thing | can't stand is having them talk about me in front of outsiders, telling them how I cried or how sensibly I'm behaving. It's horrible ... | have plenty of dreams, but the reality is that we'll have to stay here until the war is over. We can't ever go outside, and the only visitors we can have are Miep, her husband Jan, Bep Voskuijl, Mr Voskuijl, Mr Krugler, Mr Kleiman and Mrs Kleiman, though she hasn't come because she thinks it's too dangerous. 2h 10 15 20Comment added by Anne in September 1942 Daddy's always so nice. He understands me perfectly, and I wish we could havea 25 heart-to-heart talk sometime without my bursting instantly into tears. But apparently that has to do with my age. I'd like to spend all my time writing, but that would probably get boring.

It took me couple of minutes to realise what it was, ‘cos it looked highly unlikely in Danny's grimy mitt. Then | pushed him into the canteen, sure to be empty on a Friday afternoon at five to three. The pandemonium of a wet school playtime died away, and we could hear the rain drumming on the roof instead “Where didja get that, you nutter?” “Out of Bonfire’s purse. She'd lett it open. On the desk. So I took it. No one saw me, Tyke.” Only he didn’t say it like that, for my friend, Danny Price, speaks worse than anyone | know. Speech defect they call it. When he counts he goes, “Don, Dwo, Dee, Dour, Dive, Dix, Devon,” and so on. And there he stood in the canteen that smelled of boiled swede and cabbage, enough to make you throw up, saying: “Do di dood id. Do don daw dee,” and ringing all manner of alarms inside me. I shook him. The tea money rattled in its tin, and at that moment a crowd of under-sized Chinamen streamed towards us, shouting, pushing, kicking, the second year doing Aladain again, | suppose, unless it was everyday life in Red China for a change. | grabbed the ten-pound note and stuffed it up my sweater where it made a crunkly noise that | didn't like at all, and the boiled swede and cabbage smell stank ‘so strong that | had to get out fast, so | pushed him into the corridor again. “Don't you see? Don't you understand, you idiotic imbecile?” I shouted through the screeching din of 3H practising ten different tunes on recorders in the next classroom. Before he could reply the buzzer went for the end of play, so | headed for our classroom, 4M, with Danny running sideways trying to talk to me. “Why you all mad, Tyke? Don't be mad at me, Tyke.” I didn’t answer. “| got it for you. | want you to have half of it. You can buy anything you like, Tyke.’ I took no notice.

Don't you see? Don’t you understand?

Between 1943 and 1945 Sergueiew’s contacts in the Abwehr (Nazi Germany's counter intelligence organisation who managed the country's spies and sabotage operations) believed her to be a loyal German spy. In reality, she was sending them deliberately misleading messages composed by the 5 British secret service. Nathalie Sergueiew was born in Russia in 1912. After studying in Paris she travelled around Europe, improving her mastery of several languages including German, French and English. In the mid-1930s she worked as a journalist in Germany ... By the time the war had started and she agreed to work for the Abwehr, 10 she had already decided that her real loyalties lay with the Allies and she would do all she could to help them from within the German intelligence system. Sergueiew met her Abwehr boss, Emil Kliemann, in Berlin and began to learn espionage skills such as secret ink writing, ciphers, radio telegraphy and how to identify different Allied uniforms and equipment. She hinted to her German 16 employers that they should send her to England. At the same time she told the British authorities that she intended to double-cross. In 1943 she arrived in England and was immediately interrogated by MIS, who gave her the alias Treasure. twas vital to MIS to make the communications sent by double agents to Germany as convincing as possible. At frst Treasure sent messages to Kliemann in secret ink or 2 encoded letters, but later she used a radio transmitter set. She passed to him false information concocted by MIS as part of an elaborate and successful deception plan to keep D-Day (the first day of the Allied invasion into Europe) secret. Treasure led Kliemann to believe that there were very few troops in South West England and that she had a boyfriend in the 14th Army (a non-existent unit invented by the Allies). 25 This information fitted in with messages from other double agents and supported the Germans’ false belief that the Allies would land at Calais rather than in Normandy. ‘Treasure was an effective double agent, but she was also known to be “exceptionally temperamental and troublesome”. In conversations with her MIS handler, Mary Sherer, Treasure revealed that she had let slip her double identity 30 to an American soldier. She also threatened to stop working for MI5 unless they arranged for her beloved pet dog left in Spain to join her. ‘One month before D-Day, Treasure admitted she had agreed a secret signal with her Abwehr contact, Kliemann, so he would know if her transmissions were genuine. This meant that if another agent took over her transmissions, her cover 95 would be blown, possibly putting at risk the whole network of double agents. Treasure was told that her services were no longer required because her behaviour endangered the Allies. The next day Sherer met with an upset Sergueiew, who suddenly said she would give Sherer the secret code agreed with Kliemann. ‘Sergueiew returned to France, but this was not the end of MI5’s troubles. In 1944 40 it was discovered that she intended to publish her memoirs, in which she referred to her MIS handlers as “gangsters” and refused to hide their identities, The book was eventually published in 1968.

But they had to go on and on, long after they were sick for a sight of the sun and of the sky, and longed for the fee! of the wind on their faces. There was no movement. of air down under the forest-roof, and it was everlastingly still and dark and stuffy. Even the dwarves felt it, who were used to tunnelling, and live at times for long whiles without the light of the sun; but the hobbit, who liked holes to make a house in but not to spend summer days in, felt that he was being slowly suffocated. The nights were the worst. It then became pitch dark — not what you call pitch dark, but really pitch: so black that you really could see nothing. Bilbo tried flapping his hand in front of his nose, but he could not see it at all. Well, perhaps it is not true to say that they could see nothing: they could see eyes. They slept all closely huddled together, and took it in turns to watch; and when it was Bilbo’s turn he would see gleams in the darkness round them, and sometimes pairs of yellow or red or green eyes would stare at him from a little distance, and then slowly fade and disappear and slowly shine out again in a different place. And sometimes they would gleam down from the branches just above him; and that was the most terrifying. But the eyes that he liked the least were horrible pale bulbous sort of eyes. “Insect eyes,” he thought, “not animal eyes, only they are much too big.” Although it was not yet very cold, they tried lighting watch-fires at night, but they ‘soon gave that up. It seemed to bring hundreds and hundreds of eyes all round them, though the creatures, whatever they were, were careful never to let their bodies show in the flicker of the flames. Worse still it brought thousands of dark-grey and black moths, some nearly as big as your hand, flapping and whirring round their ears. They could not stand that, nor the huge bats, black as a top-hat, either; so they gave up fires and sat at night and dozed in the enormous uncanny darkness. All this went on for what seemed to the hobbit ages upon ages; and he was always hungry, for they were extremely careful with their provisions. Even so, as days followed days, and still the forest seemed just the same, they began to get anxious. The food would not last for ever: it was in fact already beginning to get low. They tried shooting at the squirrels, and they wasted many arrows before they managed to bring one down on the path. But when they roasted it, it proved horrible to taste, and they shot no more squirrels. They were thirsty too, for they had none too much water, and in all the time they had seen neither spring nor stream. This was their state when one day they found their path blocked by running water. It flowed fast and strong but not very wide right across the way, and it was black, or looked it in the gloom. It was well that Beorn had warned them against it, or they would have drunk from it, whatever its colour, and filled some of their emptied skins at its banks. As it was, they only thought of how to cross it without wetting themselves in the water. There had been a bridge of wood across, but it had rotted and fallen leaving only ‘the broken posts near the bank. Bilbo kneeling on the brink and peering forward cried: “There is a boat against the far bank!

He has lovely gardens but Mary is particularly intrigued by a walled garden that seems to have no entrance. She skipped at last into the kitchen-garden and saw Ben Weatherstaff digging and talking to his robin, which was hopping about him. She skipped down the walk towards him and he lifted his head and looked at her with a curious expression, She had wondered if he would notice her. She really wanted him to see her skip. “Well!” he exclaimed. “Upon my word! P’raps tha’ art a young ‘un, after all, an’ p'raps tha’s got child’s blood in thy veins instead of sour buttermilk. Tha’s skipped red into thy cheeks as sure as my name's Ben Weatherstaff. | wouldn't have believed tha’ could do it.” “I never skipped before,” Mary said. “I'm just beginning. | can only go up to twenty.” “Tha’ keep on,” said Ben. “Tha’ shapes well enough at it for a young ‘un that's lived with heathen. Just see how he’s watchin’ thee,” jerking his head towards the robin. “He followed after thee yesterday. He'll be at it again today. He'll be bound to find out what th’ skippin’-rope is. He's never seen one, Eh!” shaking his head at the bird, “tha’ curiosity will be the death of thee some time if tha’ doesn’t look sharp.” Mary skipped round all the gardens and round the orchard, resting every few minutes. At length she went to her own special walk and made up her mind to try if she could skip the whole length of it. It was a good long skip, and she began slowly, but before she had gone half-way down the path she was so hot and breathless that she was obliged to stop. She did not mind much, because she had already counted up to thirty. She stopped with a litle laugh of pleasure, and there, lo and behold, was the robin swaying on a long branch of ivy. He had followed her, and he greeted her with a chirp. As Mary had skipped towards him she felt something heavy in her pocket strike against her at each jump, and when she saw the robin she laughed again “You showed me where the key was yesterday,” she said. “You ought to show me the door today; but I don't believe you know!” The robin fiew from his swinging spray of ivy on to the top of the wall and he opened his beak and sang a loud, lovely trill, merely to show off. Nothing in the world is quite as adorably lovely as a robin when he shows off - and they are nearly always doing it. One of the nice little gusts of wind rushed down the walk, and it was a stronger ‘one than the rest. It was strong enough to wave the branches of the trees, and it was more than strong enough to sway the trailing sprays of untrimmed ivy hanging from the wall. Mary had stepped close to the robin, and suddenly the gust of wind swung aside some loose ivy trails, and more suddenly still she jumped towards it and caught it in her hand. This she did because she had seen something under it — around knob which had been covered by the leaves hanging over it. It was the knob of a door. She put her hands under the leaves and began to pull and push them aside. Thick as the ivy hung, it nearly all was a loose and swinging curtain, though some had crept over wood and iron. Mary's heart began to thump and her hands to shake a little in her delight and excitement. The robin kept singing and twittering 2 5 10 20 25 35
