Read about Parkour and freerunning, then answer the questions.
The World of Parkour
In 1902, a volcano in the Caribbean Island of Martinique blew up.  A French naval officer on the scene, Lt. George
Hébert managed to coordinate the rescue of over 700 people, both indigenous and European.  He noticed, as he did
so, how people moved, some well, some badly, around the obstacles in their path, and how this affected their
chances of survival.  Hébert had travelled widely and was well aware of skills many indigenous people exhibited in
being able to traverse the natural environment.  From these experiences, Hébert developed a training discipline
which he called ‘the natural method’ in which climbing, jumping, and running techniques were used to negotiate
obstacles.  His method was adopted by the French military and became the basis for all their training.  In time, it
became known as parcours du combattant – the path of the warrior.

Raymond Belle was a practitioner of parkour in Vietnam in the 1950s.  He had great athletic ability, and the skills
and agility he had learnt through parkour earned him a reputation as an agile and elite soldier.  In later life, he
returned to France and passed on his skills to his son, David, who combined what he had learnt from his father with
his own knowledge of martial arts and gymnastics, and in time, the sport of parkour was born.

Parkour involves a range of ‘moves’, although none are official.  They involve vaulting, jumping, and landing
accurately on small and narrow features, catching ledges, traversing high wall and landing with a rolling impact to
absorb impacts.

Belle formed a group of traceurs called the Yamikasi, meaning ‘strong man, strong spirit’, that included his friend,
Sebastian Foucan.  In time, the two of them started to follow different paths.  Belle concentrated on the art of getting
from place to place in the most efficient way possible, while Foucan developed his own style which involved more
self-expression.  This he termed freerunning.
From the late 1990s, the art and sport of parkour spread worldwide.  Both Belle and Foucan gave interviews and
appeared on television.  In 2003, filmmaker Mike Christie made the film Jump London, and urban freerunning, or
freeflow, began to dominate the London scene.  But it was the arrival of YouTube in 2005 that really brought
freerunning to a global audience. People around the world began to post their videos online, making freerunning a
mainstream sport, and in 2007, the first major freerunning and parkour competition was held in Vienna.

Since parkour values freedom, there are few facilities dedicated to the practice. Traceurs use both rural and urban
areas, typically parks, offices and abandoned buildings. Traceurs generally respect the environment they practice in,
and since part of their philosophy is ‘leave no trace’, there have been few concerns over damage to property.
However, law enforcement and fire and rescue teams argue that freerunners are risking their lives needlessly.,
especially when they practice at height.  However, practitioners argue that injuries are rare, because they rely on
their own hands and feet rather than things out of their immediate control, such as ice and wheels, as is the case with
skiing and race-driving.

Read the text and answer the questions.
She knew the street backwards, of course. How many times had she been dragged up it as a child by the wrist,
whining and sniveling, always wishing she were somewhere else?  Now she had no desire to be anywhere but here. 
This bustling traffic, these fuming buses, these chipped paving stones, and boarded-up shop fronts, they were hers. 
Here, she would grow from defiant teenager to independent woman.  When she was an old woman, she would gaze
out over the lawns and say ‘Ah, Knox Road, that’s where I really came into my own’.

Number 126 was only a short walk from the bus stop, and she heaved her multiple bags onto her shoulders and
trudged off, trying to maintain the elation as the straps dug into the flesh of her neck and fingers.   Number 126 was
set back slightly from the main road, with a concrete path and weed patch at the front.  The window frames were
rotten and the paint chippe Holly tried not to min. It was what was inside that counted, after all.  The coming-
together of six individuals from diverse backgrounds. discussing politics, culture, and art late into the night, sharing
ideas, recipes, milk, shower gel and lovers – that would be what she’d look back on of course, not the paintwork.   In
the absence of either a bell or knocker, she rapped firmly on the door.

There was no reply. Holly peered through gap in curtains in the downstairs window, but there was nothing but
gloom within.  She could hear a faint thudding of a bass beat but was not sure which house it belonged to.  She
rapped more firmly and was searching for a pebble to throw to the upstairs window when the door opened. A
shirtless, overweight twenty-something, with bleary eyes and greasy hair stood in the doorway wearing boxer shorts
and mismatched socks.

“I’ve come for the upstairs room, I’m the new tenant,” said Holly brightly.

The man grunted slightly and moved aside. He gestured up the dim, uncarpeted stairway and began to shuffle along
the dark hallway to the rear of the house.

“Top floor, is that right?  I guess I just follow my nose!” Holly gave a high laugh and received another grunt in
reply. Then the man was gone.

Not to worry, he must be the quiet moody type, thought Holly, too caught up in his own profound thoughts for inane
chit-chat.  One day she would penetrate his hard outer shell and release the free spirit inside.  Anyway, now for the
stairs.

The four flights of stairs would be worth it, she’d decided when she picked out the flat, even if it did mean her going
downstairs to get to the bathroom, because the room faced the front, and she could watch the world scurry by as she
sipped her morning coffee.  Kicking one bag in front and dragging the others behind, she finally made it up the four
flights and flung open the door to her new room, her New Haven, her new adult life.
 
Peeling beige wallpaper, a lumpy mattress on a chipboard bedframe, a bare light bulb, a flat-pack wardrobe
inexpertly put together.  All this, Holly could just about put up with, but when she saw the view from her window –
a dull patch of grey sky, invariable whatever the angle, she finally had to admit to herself that her adult life was not
getting off to a great start.
1.  What can be inferred from the text?

o This is Holly’s first time living away from home.  

o Holly visited the house before deciding to move in.  
o Holly is new to this part of the town.

o  The downstairs curtains are drawn.  

6. Which word does NOT describe the man who answered the door?

Reading text: A biography of Kilian Jornet

When you picture mountain climbers scaling Mount Everest, what probably comes to mind are teams of climbers
with Sherpa guides leading them to the summit, equipped with oxygen masks, supplies and tents. And in most cases
you’d be right, as 97 per cent of climbers use oxygen to ascend to Everest’s summit at 8,850 metres above sea level.
The thin air at high altitudes makes most people breathless at 3,500 metres, and the vast majority of climbers use
oxygen past 7,000 metres. A typical climbing group will have 8–15 people in it, with an almost equal number of
guides, and they’ll spend weeks to get to the top after reaching Base Camp.

But ultra-distance and mountain runner Kilian Jornet Burgada ascended the mountain in May 2017 alone, without an
oxygen mask or fixed ropes for climbing.

Oh, and he did it in 26 hours.

With food poisoning.

And then, five days later, he did it again, this time in only 17 hours.

Born in 1987, Kilian has been training for Everest his whole life. And that really does mean his whole life, as he
grew up 2,000 metres above sea level in the Pyrenees in the ski resort of Lles de Cerdanya in Catalonia, north-
eastern Spain. While other children his age were learningto walk, Kilian was on skis. At one and a half years old he
did a five-hour hike with his mother, entirely under his own steam. He left his peers even further behind when he
climbed his first mountain and competed in his first cross-country ski race at age three. By age seven, he had scaled
a 4,000er and, at ten, he did a 42-day crossing of the Pyrenees.

He was 13 when he says he started to take it ‘seriously’ and trained with the Ski Mountaineering Technical Centre
(CTEMC) in Catalonia, entering competitions and working with a coach. At 18, he took over his own ski-
mountaineering and trail-running training, with a schedule that only allows a couple of weeks of rest a year. He does
as many as 1,140 hours of endurance training a year, plus strength training and technical workouts as well as
specific training in the week before a race. For his record-breaking ascent and descent of the Matterhorn, he
prepared by climbing the mountain ten times until he knew every detail of it, even including where the sun would be
shining at every part of the day.

Sleeping only seven hours a night, Kilian Jornet seems almost superhuman. His resting heartbeat is extremely low at
33 beats per minute, compared with the average man’s 60 per minute or an athlete’s 40 per minute. He breathes
more efficiently than average people too, taking in more oxygen per breath, and he has a much faster recovery time
after exercise as his body quickly breaks down lactic acid – the acid in muscles that causes pain after exercise.

All this is thanks to his childhood in the mountains and to genetics, but it is his mental strength that sets him apart.
He often sets himself challenges to see how long he can endure difficult conditions in order to truly understand what
his body and mind can cope with. For example, he almost gave himself kidney failure after only drinking 3.5 litres
of water on a 100km run in temperatures of around 40°C.

It would take a book to list all the races and awards he’s won and the mountains he’s climbed. And even here,
Kilian’s achievements exceed the average person as, somehow, he finds time to record his career on his blog and has
written three books, Run or Die, The Invisible Border and Summits of My Life
Reading text: An email from a friend

Hi!

I’ve been meaning to write for ages and finally today I’m actually doing something about it. Not that I’m trying to
make excuses for myself, it’s been really hard to sit down and write, as I’ve been moving around so much. Since we
last saw each other I’ve unpacked my bags in four different cities. This job has turned out to be more of a whirlwind
than I expected, but it’s all good!

I went from London to Prague to set up a new regional office there. You know I’d always wanted to go, but maybe I
was imagining Prague in spring when I used to talk about that. Winter was really hard, with minus 15 degrees in the
mornings and dark really early in the evening. But at least it was blue skies and white snow and not days on end of
grey skies and rain, like at home. It’s tough being away from home over Christmas, though, and Skype on Christmas
Day wasn’t really the same as being with everyone.

From there I was on another three-month mission to oversee the set-up of the office in New York. Loved, loved,
loved New York! It’s like being in one big TV show, as everywhere looks just a little bit familiar. I did every tourist
thing you can think of when I wasn’t working and must have spent most of my salary on eating out. It was really
hard to leave for the next job, especially as I kind of met someone (!) More about Michael later ...

So then I was posted to LA, which felt like a whole other country compared with the East Coast. I could definitely
get used to that kind of outdoor, beach lifestyle, but I didn’t spend as much time getting to know California as I
could have because I was flying back to see Michael every other weekend. He came to see me when he could, but
his job means he’s often working at weekends, so he couldn’t make the flight very often. Those three months flew
by and then I was off again, to Frankfurt, which is where I am now. And … so is Michael! He got a month off work
and we’re trying to work out how we can be in the same place at the same time for a while. We figure the first step
in that direction is getting married, which is also why I wanted to write – I can’t get married without my oldest
friend there! The wedding’s going to be at home in London in September and I hope you can come!

Anyway, tell me all your news and I promise not to leave it so long this time!

Lots of love,

Kath

Reading text: A short story extract

Sam squinted against the sun at the distant dust trail raked up by the car on its way up to the
Big House. The horses kicked and flicked their tails at flies, not caring about their owner’s first
visit in ten months. Sam waited. Mr. Carter didn’t come out here unless he had to, which was
just fine by Sam. The more he kept out of his boss’s way, the longer he’d have a job.

Carter came by later while Sam was chopping wood. Carter lifted his hat as if he were waiting
for an appointment with the town priest, and then removed it completely as if he were talking
to his mother. He pulled out a pile of paper from his back pocket and held it out.

‘Don’t pick up your mail often, do you?’

Sam took it without a glance and dropped the envelopes onto the bench.

‘Never,’ he replied and waited for Carter to say why he was here. The fact it was Carter’s house
was no explanation and they both knew it. Carter twisted his hat round and round, licking his
lips and clearing his throat.

‘Nice work fixing those fences,’ he said finally.

‘I’ll be back to the beginning soon,’ Sam said. It wasn’t a complaint. A fence that took a year to
repair meant another year’s work to the man who did it well.

‘Don’t you ever want to take a holiday?’

‘And go where?’ A holiday meant being back out in the real world, a place even people like
Carter travelled to escape from. Sam’s escape was his reality, and he wasn’t going back. Mr.
Carter wiped the sweat from the back of his neck. The damp patches on his shirt drew together
like shapes in an atlas. His skin was already turning ruddy in the June sun. Otherwise, he had
the indoor tan of a man that made money while other people did the work.

‘I’ve brought my son with me on this trip. He’s had some trouble at school.’ Mr. Carter’s eyes
flicked up, blinked rapidly and then shifted back to the hat occupying his hands. ‘Not much
trouble out here for a young boy.’ He attempted a laugh, but it came out like a dog’s bark. The
two men looked towards the northern end of the property. It stretched as far as the eye could
see. Even the fences were barely visible from where they stood. However bored and rebellious
a teenage boy might get; it wasn’t possible to escape on foot. Sam looked at the biggest of the
horses, kicking at the ground with its heavy hooves. Could the boy ride? He wondered. There
was a whole load of trouble a good rider could get into out here, miles away from anyone. But
maybe there was even more trouble for someone who knew nothing about horses and wanted
to get away from his father.
1. What is Sam’s reaction to his letters?
a. Uninterested
b. Surprised
c. Afraid
d. Curious

2. Why does Sam not take holidays from work?

a. He feels safer on the farm.
b. He can’t afford it.

3. What can we guess about Mr. Carter?

a. He works hard.
b. He’s rich.
c. He has tanned skin.
d. He loves horses.

4. What does Sam think Carter’s son might do during his stay at the farm?
a. He might leave on foot.
b. He might do something dangerous while riding.
c. He might break the fences.
d. He might get into trouble with the neighbours.

5. How does Mr. Carter feel while he’s talking to Sam in this scene?
a. Angry
b. Impatient
c. Nervous
d. Excited

6. Why has Mr. Carter come to his house?

a. Because he wants to give Sam his mail.
b. Because he needs to check on the work on the fences.
c. Because his son has had problems at school.
d. Because his son needs a holiday.
You are going to read four news reports about an abandoned baby. For questions 1 – 4, choose from the reviews A
– D. The reviews may be chosen more than once.

Article A

It has been alleged that the mother charged with attempted murder after dumping her newborn baby into a drain has
admitted to abandoning the baby boy. The woman remains in custody after bail was formally refused at Blacktown
Local Court.
The newborn baby was discovered by passing cyclists on a day when temperatures surpassed 40 degrees Celsius.
Mr. Otte, who discovered the baby and only cycles the route once a month, said, ‘That baby had no chance if we and
the other people hadn't been there. Something made us find that baby today'.
The child was already undernourished, and dehydration would have taken effect and the baby would not have
survived the day.

Passersby outside court cried 'shame' as the accused woman’s relatives crossed the street in Blacktown.
Article B

A woman has been charged with the attempted murder of her newborn son, who was left in a drain on Tuesday
before being discovered the following Sunday. The incident has shocked us all. In the searing heat, the baby had
little chance of survival, and the mother must have been aware of this as she callously shoved him through the tiny
gap, dropped him into the darkness and left him to his fate. But although crimes like this are a rarity, they don’t
happen in isolation. Australia criminalises child abandonment, thus making it nigh on impossible for a depressed
mother to give up her infant without causing it harm. Meanwhile pregnant women are shuffled through the system,
rarely seeing the same caregiver twice. This model of care treats the pregnancy, but ignores the patient, and it is this
ill-equipped, indifferent system that makes a crime this one possible.

Article C

A mother has been charged with attempted murder after she allegedly abandoned her newborn son in a roadside
drain, police confirmed today. The baby had been alone in the deep drain for five days when, by a stroke of luck,
cyclists caught the faint sound of his muffled cries above the heavy noise of motorway traffic. Sweltering
temperatures in Sydney have settled around 30C over the past week and it is believed the week-old boy would have
died had he not been found. Karen Healy, National President of the Australian Association of Social said that this
was a highly unusual case, as parents who abandon their children tend to do so in high-traffic areas like churches or
hospitals where the child will be taken care of.  This scenario, in which the mother clearly wanted the baby to be
hidden and it was only by the grace of God that the infant survived, suggests an element of shame or possible mental
illness which was not heeded by pre- and post-natal health providers. The 30-year-old mother is currently receiving
therapy while she remains in police custody. 
Article D

A newborn baby boy has been rescued from an eight-foot drain beside a bike track in Australia after passing cyclists
heard wailing. Graham Bridges, who was among the people who helped rescue the baby, walked the bike track
regularly and said it was usually very popular with riders on a Sunday morning. Inspector David Lagats said ‘We all
thought the worst but he's still alive. It was a long drop down, but he’s wrapped up pretty well, so that will have
cushioned his fall.’ The concrete moulding of the drain formed a layer of insulation which protected the baby from
the weather, which, during the week, reached temperatures of thirty degrees. The baby was taken to hospital in a
stable condition, thanks, in part, to the fact that newborn babies have reserves of fluids and body sugars which they
can resort to as they adapt to the new way of feeding. Lisa Charet, from the state department of family and
community services said she was concerned for the mother’s welfare. "We can give her the help and support that she
needs. She must be feeling enormously distressed if she feels that this is the only course of action available to her."

a. differs from the others with regards to the threat to the baby’s health? 
b. shares the same attitude to the mother as article B? 
c. shares article B’s view that the mother was not entirely responsible for her actions? 
d. shares article C’s attitude towards the baby’s rescue.
