A
David Attenborough’s Life in Colour is a fascinating series concentrating on colour in the animal world. For most
of the viewers, colours are simply beautiful, but for animals they are a tool that helps them both communicate
and survive. The series shows how some species can see colours in a way that is impossible for humans.
Attenborough has been the perfect guide to the animal kingdom for decades, hosting countless wildlife
documentaries. Funnily enough, at the beginning of his career he could only show us the beauty of nature in
black and white. Now, with some new amazing camera technologies, he is able to present the real carnival of
colour.
B
The first episode shows how colours are used by animals in their natural habitats, for instance, when finding their
mate. We see a peacock dazzling females with its tail and an ordinary-looking hummingbird revealing its vivid
colours only when the sunlight lights up its feathers. The episode also explains why some animals are more
brightly coloured than others. The first species to live on our planet hundreds of millions years ago were not able
to see colours. Oddly, animals which have inherited this feature tend to be only black, white or brown. Some
species, however, which have evolved to be more sensitive to colours, now use them to attract partners and
keep their enemies at bay.
C
Using colour for camouflage is exactly what the second episode of the series is about. It reveals the most
incredible ways in which animals hide or disappear into the background thanks to colours. The Bengal tiger, for
instance, can hide from its prey by using its characteristic stripes, only striking when it’s ready. We also learn how
effectively zebras deceive an attacker thanks to their black and white pattern. When they are with the rest of the
herd, they create a phenomenon termed ‘motion dazzle’, thanks to which it is extremely difficult for lions or
cheetahs to identify an individual animal.
D
The series abounds in spectacular photography. The special camera technologies, some of which were developed
exclusively for the series, will leave viewers speechless. The photography captured patterns or colours which
some species can see, but which remain invisible to the human eye. For example, special filters were used to
reveal the bright spots on butterfly’s wings which are only visible in UV light, or the way in which some spiders
attract honeybees with UV reflection, only to attack them. The photographers spent countless hours finding
locations, observing, waiting, and shooting for a few minutes of footage. If you watch an episode, you’ll realise
that it was definitely worth it.

Whether it’s the magical animation of films such as the Toy Story series or the amazing adventures in the Pirates
of the Caribbean, most of us have enjoyed the creativity of Disney Studios at some point in our lives. From time
to time, Disney revisits themes or characters from previous films. This was the case with Mary Poppins,
the famous nanny that many of us will remember from the book. The most recent Mary Poppins was made in
2018 and was simply called Mary Poppins Returns. (5.1.) ____ It’s a truly fascinating story. I’m talking about
Saving Mr Banks, which is all about the making of one of Disney’s most popular and financially successful films,
Mary Poppins, first released in 1964.
So why should Disney revisit a film that was made around sixty years ago, and what makes it worth watching?
The attraction of this new film is the way it deals with the battle between two very talented, headstrong and
controlling personalities: Walt Disney and the eccentric writer P. L. Travers. After trying for twenty years,
WaltDisney finally managed to buy the rights to make a film based on Travers’ series of children’s books.
Surely, most writers would jump at the chance of having their characters immortalised in film by such a talented
individual as Disney. Not P. L. Travers. (5.2.) ____ The clash of these two headstrong personalities makes
compulsive viewing.

Saving Mr Banks shows us how hard Travers fought to maintain the integrity of her books in an attempt to
prevent Mary Poppins from becoming overly sentimental. (5.3.) ____ However, she didn’t succeed. Disney
initially gave Travers some say in how the script developed but, eventually, having run out of patience, he had to
overrule her. The finished film, although excellent in its own right, is clearly not what Travers envisaged. Neither
would she appreciate the film based on her own story.
Once again, Saving Mr Banks is an excellent and intriguing production, but much of the darkness and complexity
behind the two main characters is filtered out. It is, after all, a Disney production. Or as Travers would have put
it, it’s far too sentimental! But who knows, maybe the 2018 release in which Mary Poppins helps the next
generation of the Banks family would be more P. L. Travers’ cup of tea?
A She resisted every stage of the process, from actually selling Disney the rights to make the film, to the first
screening of the finished product, which she hated with a passion.
B Several years earlier, however, Disney released a film about the background to another picture they had
made a long time ago.
C His desire was primarily to entertain and give audiences pleasure, not to have them leaving the cinema
troubled and upset.
D She wanted the film to retain some of the edginess and darkness that was in the original books.

Tekst 1.
THE MOTHER OF ALL STORMS
It had taken Gerry a long time to drop off to sleep that night. The strength of the wind, funneling through the
trees behind the house with a deep throaty growl, was rising, and it worried him. As a child he had enjoyed
listening to the trees moaning in the wind, imagining himself riding a horse fearlessly through the storm on some
adventure or other. Now, as an adult, he appreciated the threat it posed. One branch of one of those trees could
crash through the roof and destroy his bedroom. There was nothing in the least romantic about such a picture.
It seemed he had only been asleep for a moment when he was suddenly wide awake again, his heart beating
fast. The wind wasn’t that loud, but heavy rain was now lashing against the windowpanes. What was it? Had he
had another nightmare? The room was fine, no tree branch pinning him to the bed! Then, just above the noise
of the storm he heard it. There was definitely a cry coming from outside. It wasn’t the wind or an animal. It was
a human cry, of that he was certain. He flung on his dressing gown before going downstairs to investigate.
Fumbling in the dark, he found the light switch, but there was no power. Blast, he thought. The storm must
have brought down the power lines. The skies were too overcast for any moonlight, so he made his way down
the stairs in complete darkness. He heard it again. A slight cry, carried away on the wind. Who could be at his
door in the middle of the night, in the middle of the mother of all storms?
As he approached the door, the cry became words that he could distinguish. ‘Gerry! Gerry! Hurry!’ it was
a female voice, full of urgency.
As he opened the heavy door, it was blown inward by the wind and nearly knocked him off his feet.
The downpour drenched his dressing gown. A woman stumbled into the hall just as the moon appeared from
behind the rainclouds. Gerry realised it was Karen, who lived in the house next door. Her face in the moonlight
was streaked with rain and dirt. She was panting as though she had just run a marathon.
‘Come in, come in. Sit down, Karen. You look terrible.’ Gerry tried to shut the front door again, but Karen
grabbed his arm.
‘There’s no time, Gerry!’ she shouted. ‘You’ve got to get out. We all have. The river’s burst its banks. Look!’
and she pointed across the garden.
Gerry stared at an amazing scene. The road was gone. The fields beyond the road were gone. The bottom of
his garden was under water. He could just make out the tops of the hedges that lined his garden. Of his beautiful
flowers there was no sign at all. The water stretched as far as he could see, and in the distance a few trees rose
up dark and wet, their branches tossing in the wind and casting crazy shadows on the water. It was as if he and
Karen were on an island. A thought briefly crossed his mind; it was like the Great Flood in the Bible. Then another
thought struck him. He turned to Karen.
‘We mustn’t panic,’ he said. ‘Trying to escape now would be madness. We won’t make it, I’m sure. Look, we’re
surrounded by water. I don’t even know how you managed to get here.’

 He was very composed now and able to think clearer. He headed to the kitchen, and Karen followed him.
She was slowly beginning to understand their position. For the time being, they were stranded.
‘Grab some snacks from the cupboard. I’ll get the candles and matches. We will need warm blankets and
some pillows, too.’
‘Are we going to spend the whole night here, Gerry?’ Karen asked, hoping for a negative answer, but it never
came. She thought they might just be waiting for the morning to come as escaping in the darkness wasn’t safe,
but Gerry was more realistic.
‘Well, fortunately, my attic is a very cosy place. We can stay there as long as necessary,’ he replied.

Tekst 2.
Viewers were appalled last night by pictures taken after recent heavy rain and gales hit the South-West coast.
Although the inhabitants of Cornwall are accustomed to severe weather conditions, this time the damage was
more widespread. The seaside town of Dawlish in Devon, for example, was left devastated by a combination of
fierce winds and high tides. According to a statement issued by the local crisis management centre, however,
houses were unaffected and nobody was hurt. Nevertheless, the power of the waves destroyed part of the sea
wall, exposing a section of the railway line that runs behind it to the sea. This had the effect of disabling all rail
transport along the coast. Pictures show that the ground below the track collapsed, leaving the rails suspended
in mid-air, still in one piece but buffeted by the gales.
This line was designed by the famous engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel in 1846. At the time, concerns were
voiced about the safety of a railway line in such close proximity to the sea, but construction of the line went
ahead and it later became yet another impressive example of the engineer’s work. Such concerns were justified,
however, as the line had had to close on several occasions over the years because of extreme winter weather
damaging the sea wall, although none was as dramatic as yesterday’s.
Rail engineers today have estimated that repairs to the line will take a minimum of six weeks, although locals
believe that, taking into consideration the amount of damage caused by the storm, this is extremely optimistic.
Gales are expected to continue to batter the region over the next few weeks, further hindering any repair work,
and there are worries that other sections of the sea wall may also suffer from coastal erosion. Meanwhile, the
damage caused by the weather is likely to complicate the lives of people living and working nearby. Owing to
train cancellations, commuters are advised to find alternative forms of transport. As a result, car traffic is
expected to increase in the coming weeks, which means you need to get ready to leave home ahead of your
regular schedule in order to reach your destinations on time. If possible, you are advised to work from home.

An unannounced visit
The winters on Sullivan’s Island are usually quite mild, and it is a rare event indeed when a fire is considered
necessary in autumn. This year, however, October was remarkably chilly. Just before sunset I climbed all the way
through the evergreens to the hut of my friend, Legrand, whom I had not visited for several weeks as I was
residing at the time in Charleston, a distance of nine miles from the island. When I reached the hut, I knocked on
the door, as was my custom, and, getting no reply, I searched for the key in its customary hiding place, unlocked
the door, and went in. A fine fire was blazing in the fireplace. I felt grateful for the warmth and the cosy
atmosphere I found there. I threw off my coat, settled myself in an armchair by the crackling woodfire,
and patiently waited for the owner to return.
He returned soon after dark, and gave me a very warm welcome. Jupiter, my friend’s companion, grinning
from ear to ear, rushed to the kitchen to prepare supper. Legrand was amazingly cheerful and enthusiastic.
He had found an unknown shellfish, and, furthermore, had spotted and caught a scarab beetle which he believed
to be another newly discovered species, but he wished to get my opinion the next day.
‘And why not tonight?’ I asked, rubbing my hands over the fire.
‘Ah, if I had only known you were here!’ said Legrand, ‘but I haven’t seen you for such a long time, so how
could I know you would pay me a visit this very night? As I was coming home I met Lieutenant G., and, very
foolishly, I lent him the beetle, so it is impossible for you to see it before the morning. Stay for the night, and I will
send Jup down for it at sunrise. It is the loveliest thing I’ve ever seen!’
‘What? – sunrise?’
‘No! – the beetle. It is of a brilliant gold colour – about the size of a large hickory-nut, with two jet black spots
on its back.’

The narrator decided to visit a friend, Legrand, whom he hadn’t seen for a few weeks. The weather on the island
where Legrand lived was unusual for the time of year – it was (7.1.) ___________________________________.
As always, he knocked on the door, but nobody answered, so he (7.2.) __________________________________
and went in. His friend and his companion arrived soon after. The narrator found his friend
(7.3.) ___________________________________, which was probably the result of Legrand having found
something interesting while out walking. It was a new species of scarab beetle, and he wanted to show it to the
narrator. Unfortunately, it was only possible (7.4.) ___________________________________ because Legrand
had lent it to somebody else.
