READING
1 Read the article and tick (✓) A, B, or C.
Business experts disagree about the benefits of working as a family. Some say that family businesses
are more likely to succeed. Others say that family businesses do not create new ideas, and are likely
to fail over time. Here, one family explains how it works for them.
Elena – mother
I was really pleased when my father asked for some help in his restaurant. The business needs a
reliable manager and I’m good with money. Unlike the rest of the family I’m quite shy, so working
in the office suits me very well. In fact, working here really suits us all. Agustin welcomes the
customers and organizes the tables. Mariana is an imaginative chef, but perhaps a little too confident.
She thinks she’s the leader, of course, but I disagree. My father is planning to retire next year, but
even when he has left the kitchen the restaurant will still be his ‘baby’.
Vincente – grandfather
Elena is a great manager. She’s good with money and very patient, which is important when there
are creative people around. I’m the head chef and my eldest grandchild, Mariana, works with me in
the kitchen. We are very different personalities who share a love of food! I don’t like to plan meals
ahead of time. I go to the market early in the morning and see what is good. Then I go back to the
kitchen and decide the menu for the day. Mariana says I’m disorganized and that our menu is too
traditional, but I say this is the best way to cook. If something is working, why change it?
Mariana – Elena’s oldest child

I love working with my grandfather. He knows everything about the traditional food from this region
of Spain. But he isn’t very interested in new ideas. Right now, I’m developing some new meals which
are low in salt and sugar. Grandad doesn’t think that’s a very good idea, and I don’t want to upset
him, so I try not to talk about it all the time. Agustin agrees with me, though. He’s a great ‘maître d’
— he knows all about the menu, including the wine, and he is so sociable and outgoing. It’s the
perfect job for him!
Agustin – Elena’s youngest child

I was worried because my sister can be bossy, but actually we haven’t had any arguments. Mariana
has big plans for the restaurant and I know we will succeed. At the moment, our customers are mostly
people from our city. I know that because I talk a lot to them. But when Mariana changes the menu,
we will have customers from all over the region. The worst thing about this business is the long days.
We work until late and I stand up for hours and hours. Sometimes I don’t want to smile anymore!
Example: Some business experts think family businesses are unimaginative.

A True ✓ B False C Doesn’t say
1 Elena doesn’t enjoy talking to people she doesn’t know well.
A True B False C Doesn’t say
2 Elena says that Agustin is the baby of the family.
3 Vincente thinks his way of planning a menu is the correct way.
4 Vincente sometimes asks Mariana to decide the menu for the day.
3
5 Mariana is an ambitious chef.
6 When she’s head chef, Mariana wants to stop using food from the market.
7 Agustin doesn’t think the new menu will bring new customers.
2 Write E for Elena, V for Vincente, M for Mariana, and A for Agustin.
Example: I was very happy to start working here. E
1 I want to cook more modern food. _____
2 My daughter doesn’t get angry when there are problems. _____
3 I enjoy being with the customers. _____
4 The leader of the business is my father. _____
5 I’m planning to leave the business next year. _____
6 I’m quite bossy but I’m learning to be sensitive. _____
7 I like to be imaginative without planning very much. _____
8 I agree with the plans to change the menu. _____

READING
When she was 17 years old, Jessica Matthews went to her uncle’s wedding in Nigeria. As a Nigerian
American, Jessica visited every summer to see her cousins and other family members. She was not
surprised when there was a power cut, or ‘black out’, because the electricity usually went off at least
once a day. She was not surprised when the family used kerosene lamps (which are smelly and
unhealthy) so that the wedding could continue. But Jessica was upset by her cousins’ reaction. ‘Don’t
worry about the lamps’, they said. ‘You’ll get used to them.’
Jessica didn’t understand why her cousins accepted the situation as normal. In contrast, the children
around her in Nigeria thought anything was possible when it came to football. They wanted to play
like Pele, like Ronaldo — and they believed this dream would come true. Jessica wished they could
play and have the opportunity to change their society.
Two years after the wedding, Jessica had the idea for an invention during a science class at university.
She combined the problem of power cuts with the solution of football: she wanted to build a football
that created energy. But was it really possible? Since that class in 2008, she’s been working hard to
find out.
6
In 2011, Jessica started a company called Uncharted Play. It took several years to develop her
football, and people in the sports industry said it would never work. But after many different designs,
the finished football — called a Soccket ball — works perfectly. It is only 28 grams heavier than a
normal ball, but inside it contains special technology. The movement of the football creates power.
After 30 minutes of play, the ball can power a small lamp for 3 hours. In fact, every ball comes with
a free lamp too! Uncharted Play also developed a skipping rope that uses the same technology.
Jessica still sells the Soccket ball, but her business has developed and grown. Recently, the company
has changed its name to Uncharted Power. In the company’s New York office, Jessica has invented
new products using the same idea of energy from movement. The technology from the Soccket ball
has been added to wheels for shopping trolleys, bicycles and skateboards. And a new product allows
energy to be created by walking or running on a special floor. Jessica hopes this will be used in homes
and businesses.
Jessica’s inventions tackle a huge problem. In 2017, the World Bank reported that countries in sub-
Saharan Africa lose 2.1% of their income each year through power cuts. And one in three people in
the region regularly have no access to electricity. Jessica imagines a new kind of city where people
create energy simply by doing their normal activities. She has been visiting schools to discuss these
ideas with the next generation of inventors. What will they imagine?
Example: Jessica visited _____ every summer.

A America B her extended family ✓ C her uncle
1 _____ is one name for a period of time when electricity stops working.
A A lights out B A power stop C A black out
2 Jessica was sad because her cousins thought the kerosene lamps were _____ .
A unhealthy B good enough C dangerous
3 She wanted people to be as _____ as the children dreaming about football.
A happy B positive C free
4 Jessica had the idea for an invention _____.
A at school B in Nigeria C when she was 19
5 The first design for the Soccket ball _____.
A needed more work B was a huge success C broke after 30 minutes
6 The Soccket ball weighs _____ a normal football.
A less than B more than C the same as
7 People who buy the Soccket ball also receive a _____.
A lamp B skipping rope C book
8 Since the success of the Soccket ball, Jessica’s company has _____.
A moved office B changed name C developed a new idea
9 One new product creates power using the _____ of vehicles.
A wheels B motors lights
10 Jessica wants to change how people _____ live in the future.
A in Africa B without electricity C in cities

READING
1 Read the opinions about cycling in cities and tick (✓) A, B, or C.
Pieter – Utrecht, The Netherlands

I cycle to work every day because it is faster than driving. By bike, I can be at work in 16 minutes.
By car, I have to use a longer route that takes around 37 minutes. I know that the bike culture in the
Netherlands is very different to, say, the USA. Here, everyone learns to cycle from a very young age.
There’s an old Dutch expression: ‘You’re not made of sugar.’ It means ‘the rain won’t hurt you, so
go outside and get on with things’! In Utrecht we don’t see bikes as fashion items, or a way to save
the planet, they’re just a way to get from A to B. Most people don’t wear helmets, and that’s fine.
Personally, though, I think things can still be improved. For example, the company where I work
doesn’t provide any cycle parking with a roof, which can be annoying. And the car parks in the city
centre are too cheap.
Rosa – Madrid, Spain
Madrid is the worst city in Spain for cyclists. Part of the problem is the hills, but also there is no
cycling culture. There aren’t many cycle lanes and drivers aren’t used to seeing bikes. It can be scary!
Did you know it’s only compulsory to wear a cycle helmet in two countries in the whole world?
Anyway, in the spring, I try to cycle to work once or twice a week. But in the summer it is too hot,
and I’m too worried about the traffic to cycle in the winter when the evenings are darker. Most of the
time I drive to work. I tried the metro, but the tickets were quite expensive and I have free parking at
work, so …. I would like Madrid to be a better cycling city. Perhaps we can close some roads during
the rush hour so that only cyclists can use them.
Artem – Copenhagen, Denmark
I’m a town planner here in bike-friendly Copenhagen. Since 2016 more bikes have been entering the
city centre each day than cars. In my profession, we want to keep traffic moving. In the twentieth-
century, the focus was on cars: ‘How many cars can we get into the city centre?’ Now, we concentrate
more on the number of people, which means we think more about bikes and public transport. For
example, in Copenhagen 62% of people commute to work or school by bike and only 9% use a car.
But even here, 54% of the physical space for transport is given to the car. In my opinion, the ‘look’
of cities in the future will be very different. For most people, how fast they can reach their destination
is the most important thing. That’s why it’s a mistake to promote the ‘green’ benefits of cycling. But
for town planners, the environment is hugely important.
Example: Pieter’s journey to work takes _____ if he cycles.

A 37 minutes B half the time ✓ C half an hour
1 Pieter says _____ have different ideas about bikes.
A older people B people in the USA C younger people
2 Pieter uses a Dutch expression about _____ .
A the weather B children C roads
3 Pieter thinks some people see bikes as _____ .
A dangerous B an accessory C for fit people only
4 Pieter thinks the company where he works should have _____ for employees.
A less car parking B free bikes C better bike parking
5 For Rosa, driving is _____ than cycling.
A faster B more expensive C safer
6 Rosa worries about cycling _____ .
A during rush hour B in the dark C up hills
10
7 Rosa would like to change _____ to encourage more cyclists in Madrid.
A the metro system B the law C the roads
8 According to Artem, there are _____ entering Copenhagen each day.
A more people than before B fewer cars than bikes
C more commuters
9 Today, town planners focus on the number of _____ moving around the city.
A cars B vehicles C people
10 For most people, _____ doesn’t affect their decision to cycle.
A the environment B speed C cost
2 Write P for Pieter, R for Rosa, A for Artem.

Example: My city doesn’t have a great bike culture. R
1 Most children in my country learn how to cycle. _____
2 I am interested in the way cycling benefits the planet. _____

The end of the phone call?
Is the phone call becoming a thing of the past? New research suggests we are now more likely to text
or email friends or family than dial their number.
The amount of time we spend talking on our mobile phones has gone down by 5% and by twice that for
landline calls, whereas the number of text messages we send has doubled in the last few years.
The reasons for this may, in part, be because so many more people have smartphones, which means we
can communicate using social networking, instant messaging, and email instead. In fact, we prefer to use
our phones to play games, watch films, and look up information rather than make a phone call and speak
to someone!
Whatever the reason, there is no question that we have changed the ways we use the telephone. These
days we often feel we shouldn’t call someone without making an arrangement to call first. Many people
are frustrated if they are disturbed by an unexpected phone call. We want to be able to choose when we
reply, and we don’t want to have to chat when we are busy with something else. Written communication
allows us to respond quickly and economically. It also means we can think about what we want to say
before we get in touch. Phones can also be noisy in open-plan offices, and many people won’t call back if
you leave a message on their voicemail. They will email instead.
On the other hand, some psychologists say text and email are less rich and ‘colder’ because you lose the
tone and expression of conversation. Others would disagree and say you don’t have to hear someone’s
voice to have an interesting and intimate conversation.
It isn’t surprising that research has found that for the over-65s, phoning friends and family on a landline
is still the most popular way of getting in touch. Many of us hearing the phone ring know it is probably our
mother! You probably won’t be amazed either to learn that the great majority (83%) of adults of all ages
said they still prefer to communicate face to face.
1 We are making _____ landline calls these days.
A 5% fewer B 10% fewer C 10% more
2 We phone less because we have _____.
A no time B other ways to communicate C fewer friends
3 The writer says we use our smartphones for _____.
A finding things out B listening to music C speaking to friends
4 When we’re _____ we don’t like talking on the phone.
A out B at home C busy
5 We like to _____ before we reply to something.
A plan our ideas B talk to friends C take a long time

We met thanks to sport

Marjorie
Many years ago, I used to play tennis with a man called Roger. He usually beat me, but I remember
how kind he was. We lost touch when I got married and I thought I’d never see him again. That was
30 years ago. When I retired last year, I needed a new activity, especially as I had also recently got
divorced, so I took up golf. One day I was going around the course alone, when I saw a man, also
playing on his own. When he turned round, I realized it was my old friend! We couldn’t believe it!
After that, we started playing regularly. Yesterday, Roger proposed in the middle of the golf course
– he’d put a ring inside a golf ball! I couldn’t believe it when I saw the ring, but I said ‘yes’!
Paul
I was looking for a flatmate a few months ago because I had just split up with my partner and she had
moved out. To forget her, I started working out at the gym after work. I slowly got to know Steve
who was often there at the same time, although we didn’t become friends until we were both warming
up one day, and he said he was looking for somewhere to live as his girlfriend had just dumped him.
I told him that I had a room in my flat and that I was looking for a flatmate. He moved in two days
later. We’ve become good mates and we both agree that we’re much easier to live with than our ex-
girlfriends!
Liz
I had recently moved to Oxford from Bristol when I decided to run the London Marathon. I didn’t
want to train alone, so I advertised for a running partner at my local gym, and Harriet got in touch.
We met for coffee and got on really well. It was amazing how many things we had in common, for
example she had recently moved to Oxford, too. While we were getting fit, we also became close
friends.
Unfortunately, I got injured three weeks before the race and couldn’t take part. I was sad about the
race, but am delighted about my new friendship. And we’re already thinking about next year ...

10) Exercise 1: Some sentences are missing in the text below. Find the correct one and fill in the gaps.
ROMANCE IS UNIVERSAL
Is romance permitted in your culture? Is it a part of everyday life, or is it forbidden in public places? 1)
_________________. Dr. Helen Fisher, the author of a book called The Anatomy of Love, writes about
romance, saying, “...studies have shown that romantic love exists in virtually every culture.” In fact, from their
survey of 168 cultures, anthropologists William Jankoivak and Edward Fischer were able to find direct
evidence that romantic love exists in 87 percent of them. No matter what most human cultures say about
romance, love stories, myths, legends, poems, songs, love potions, love charms, lovers’ quarrels, and other
romantic rituals have been and still are an important part of life around the world.
Animals? They don’t have romantic feelings – or do they? 2) ___________________ . Many animals not only
touch each other but actually look at one another affectionately while they are courting. According to
anthropologist Diane Smuts, watching baboons court is like watching a young man and woman meet for the
first time in a singles bar. Another researcher, Diane Ackerman, claims that animals even have their own
version of a dinner date. Anthropologists call it a “courtship feeding,” a kind of animal behaviour in which the
male animal feeds food that he has gathered to the female he is courting. The purpose of the “courtship
feeding” is to prove that the male will be a good provider to future children that they may have. 3)
______________________ .
In the human world, we usually think that men begin most relationships, but studies show that women are
often the first to show interest. It is often the females who give small signs that tell the male that she is
interested in him. 4) ____________________. Among nonhumans, males put on “courtship rituals,” which
are usually elaborate shows for the females. These courtship displays can take many different forms. They
include the courtship dances of spiders, the vocal courtship of bullfrogs, and the fighting courtship among
male deer. In most cases, the females then decide which males they want. Diane Ackerman describes the
surprising behaviour of the cottontop tamarins, small forest-dwelling monkeys of South America. In this
species, according to Ackerman, males do much of the child care. Therefore, a male tries to get a female’s
attention by visiting her while he is carrying a baby cottontop on his back. What the male is actually saying
is, “See what a caring father I would be? I would be great with your kids.”
a) Amazingly, many biologists now believe that human beings are not the only creatures who experience
romantic love.
b) Again there are parallels in the animal world
c) Recent research now shows that there is a good chance that romance can be found almost everywhere.
d) In human terms, this would mean that he will literally be able to “bring home the meat.”

READING
It really annoys me when people claim smartphones are a bad thing. Can’t they remember what life was
like without them? Did we live in a ‘golden age’ where families had polite conversations and played
prettily in green fields? No! We did the exact same things as we do now. l loved an old board game
called Hero Quest, now I love World of Warcraft — it’s the same fun! We talked to our friends on
landlines for hours and filled our heads with information from magazines, TV and newspapers. The
behaviour is the same, but today we do it with fewer devices and much much less paper. And don’t get
me started on photos. Not so very long ago, people had to take photos using analogue cameras. You
couldn’t even see the pictures for days because you had to pay someone to develop them for you. And
then we stored them in photo albums that were so big most people couldn’t lift them.
So, I am a fan of the smartphone. But the biggest fans of all are the people of India. The Indian
smartphone market grew by 18% in 2016 — that’s a faster increase than anywhere else in the world.
Internet access using mobile phones is 80% in India, again the world’s highest, with Indonesia in second
place at 73%. Compare that to the UK where more than half of internet connection is via desktop
computers.
Interestingly, many people in India choose to buy simpler 4G phones instead of smartphones. In part,
that’s because of poor reception in rural areas. But this has led to a very competitive market, with Indian
companies going head to head with larger Chinese phone producers. Data charges actually went down
by 20% last year! Phone companies are opening new stores all over India, because (unlike Chinese
shoppers), most Indians choose to buy their phones using cash in stores rather than online.
So smartphones can keep us connected, but could they also keep us healthy? A recent report found that
mHealth could save $1billion dollars each year in India alone. The idea of ‘mHealth’ is simple — it
means the use of mobile phone initiatives in healthcare. And it’s easy to see the possibilities. An app
could tell people in cities if the pollution in the air is good or bad. Patients who live outside towns and
cities won’t have to travel miles to find expert medical advice. Instead, doctors will be able to see many
more patients by using mobile health data and video chats. People already carry their music, photos and
bank details on their phone. It makes sense that all our health data should be there too.
So the next time someone tells you mobiles are dangerous, or rude, or turning young people into zombies,
tell them they should think again.
Example: The author finds some people’s attitude to smartphones annoying.

1 The author thinks smartphones have changed people’s behaviour.
2 The author didn’t spend much time talking on the phone to friends.
3 The author can’t remember the last time he or she read a newspaper.
4 In India, internet access using desktop computers is lower than in the UK.
23
5 India and Indonesia have similar levels of mobile phone use.
6 Simpler phones are popular in India because of cheap data charges.
7 It’s expensive for countries to set up mHealth initiatives.
8 The ideas behind mHealth are easy to understand, even if you’re not a doctor.
9 One benefit is that mHealth could increase the number of patients each doctor sees.

Example: Some people say life before smartphones was a ‘golden age’. T
1 The author thinks old board games are better than smartphone games. ____
2 The author thinks old photo albums are better than smartphone albums. ____
3 India’s smartphone market is growing faster than in the rest of the world. ____

I used to be very competitive when I was younger. I hated losing! Now I’m older, I’m getting used to
slowing down. My husband and children were very excited about a Colour Run in Shenzhen, our city.
The race sounded a bit silly to me, but we entered as a family. We usually jog around the park together
on a Sunday morning, so 5k was a reasonable challenge for us. I have to admit, it was great fun. The aim
of the race is to get as messy as possible. At the start, everyone was wearing white clothes. And after
every kilometre, machines sprayed us with different coloured paint powder. There was no winner, and
no-one was told their time at the finishing line. At the end, I really wanted a shower! But my kids didn’t
want to leave because there was a party. So we listened to music and all got covered in even more paint!
Shuo
I don’t play anymore but when I was at school I was in a local football team. Most weeks we lost but I
remember how much fun it was to compete with all my mates. Well, I went to university and then moved
to Shenzhen. Of course, we all lost touch. Then a few months ago, I started working out at a gym near
my office. One day, I recognized Dishi from my old football team! We couldn’t believe it! We started a
Facebook group to find the old team and last week, five of us completed the Colour Run. I’ve just posted
a photo of us covered in paint. Maybe we’ll find the rest of the team now.
Hao
Last year, I entered a 10k running race. I wanted to do more exercise because I’d put on a bit of weight.
I lost two kilos, which was great. But I trained too hard and got injured so I couldn’t take part in the
10k. It took me two months to recover and that’s when I heard about the Colour Run. It was a 5k race
so it was a simpler challenge, and the only aim was to have fun rather than getting a fast time. I entered
with Chan from my work. There are only three of us in the office so I already knew we got on well. We
normally jog once or twice a week after work and then we go to a café for a drink and a chat. We can’t
talk while we jog … it’s too tiring!
Example: Fang Su used to run faster when she was younger.

1 Fang Su jogs with her husband and children once a week.
2 The winner of the Colour Run gets a special, white T shirt.
3 Fang Su and her family stayed for the party after the race.
4 Shuo used to live in Shenzhen when he was at school.
5 Shuo and Dishi trained for the Colour Run at their gym.
6 Shuo and Dishi didn’t manage to find all the members of their old team.

7 Hao decided to enter the Colour Run after he recovered from an injury.
8 Hao and Chan are training partners, not colleagues.
9 Hao and Chan normally talk to each other after their training sessions.
10 Hao plans to enter his first 10k race next year.
2 Write F for Fang Su, S for Shuo or H for Hao.

Example: I used to weigh more than I do now. H
1 I used to love winning. _____

My little cinema
How many screens does your local cinema have? In the UK, around 49% of cinemas have more than
five screens and are known as ‘multiplexes’. Many older, smaller cinemas have been destroyed, or turned
into shops, or flats or factories. But now, data show that small, independent cinemas are returning to
UK’s towns.
Amanda Mundin loves cinema. Amanda previously worked as a scriptwriter before buying her first
cinema, The Ritz, with business partner Neil Roberts in 2006. ‘I was looking for a part-time venue to
show films occasionally,’ she recalls. ‘I didn’t have a clue.’ The Ritz had been empty for 15 years and
Amanda soon realized the size of her challenge. She learned more about cinema technology and repaired
the building with money from the local government. She worked at The Ritz full-time but she needed
more staff. Amanda’s sons began helping out and after a few years Amanda decided to expand the family
business. Her middle son, Jacob, now runs The Regal in nearby Melton Mowbray with his wife, Bryony.
When Amanda heard about her third cinema, The Savoy, local residents were trying to save it themselves
but didn’t have the time or the money. Amanda’s company rescued the old building and turned it into
another independent venue. They took out the old seating (it used to have 460 seats) and put in luxury,
spacious seating for 180 people. There are even sofas! Amanda’s youngest son, Louis, and his fiancée,
Sophie, have been running it since 2016.
Many people go far more regularly to Amanda’s cinemas than they used to when the only available
choice was a multiplex. That might be because of the buildings themselves — built in the 1940s they are
actually very beautiful. Or perhaps it’s the personal service. A typical, large cinema company might own
a dozen venues, and employs a thousand staff. At the Ritz, Regal and Savoy the few members of staff
get to know their customers by name. The owners also choose which films are shown. With only one or
two films showing at each venue, that is an important decision.
The Ritz hosts regular interviews with actors and directors on its old stage, allowing customers to meet,
in person, the people who help to create the magic of cinema. ‘I see myself as part of that magic, part of
that story,’ says Amanda. She believes that you can’t compare the cinema experience with watching
films online. ‘People have a fridge full of food but they still eat at restaurants’, she argues.
Example: Multiplexes are cinemas that have __________ screens.

A more than five ✓ B more than one C around 49
1 Amanda used to create __________ for films.
A music B words C costumes
2 Amanda didn’t expect __________ The Ritz.
A to work full-time at B to update the technology at C to buy

Dr Breus, sleep scientist

All humans have a ‘body clock’ that says when we should wake up, work and sleep. In ancient times,
people woke up at sunrise and went to bed when it was dark. But modern life, with its indoor living and
artificial lighting, has broken our biological body clock.
For teenagers, the problem is even worse. Their biological clock and their modern living clock are telling
them to stay up late and sleep all morning. Their brains are at a key stage of development. This is why
sleep scientists often use them in research. Teenagers actually need to go to bed late. Because the teenage
brain prefers to be awake at midnight, teenagers find activities that they can do at midnight, like texting
and playing video games. And this then makes them stay up even later.
I believe there are four different ‘chronotypes’ or sleep personalities. I call them bear, wolf, lion and
dolphin. Lions enjoy mornings but can’t work very well from the late afternoon onwards. Because of
their brain biology, many teenagers have the ‘wolf’ personality. They tend to get up very late and work
best in the afternoon or early evening. Our chronotype changes as we get older but we shouldn’t ignore
it. Our chronotype affects our relationships, our chances of academic success and even our health. We
should take teenage clocks very seriously.
Veronica, student (16)

I’m studying biology, chemistry and literature. My ideal job would be in science. I’d really like to
develop new vegetarian foods or create plants that don’t get diseases, something like that. But I’d like to
travel abroad for a year before I go to university. I enjoy my school subjects but I don’t like mornings at
all. I think it’s great that we’ll start school at 11.30 a.m. when Mr Lincoln’s experiment begins. We’ll
have one class before lunch and school won’t end until 6.30 p.m. So for the last three hours we’ll have
the school to ourselves, without the younger children. Personally, if lessons were later — say, 1.30 to
7.30 — I’d be able to concentrate even more.
Mr Lincoln, headteacher
My school, Hamilton Secondary School, is not the first in this region of the UK to change its start time.
In fact, Ashwell Grange, where the fees are around £10,000 per year, introduced a later start time for its
sixth form three or four years ago. Although this isn’t a new idea, there has been some resistance from
parents. A later start time will mean that teenagers often have to be left at home on their own for a few
hours each day. Of course, I understand their concerns. However, this is an experiment for 6 months for
16 and 17 year olds only. If pupils’ school results don’t improve, we won’t continue with the new
timetable.

Sara’s blog
Welcome to my blog where I talk about ‘slow’ fashion — the art of buying less and wearing more
thoughtfully!
This week, we’re focusing on the 10 x 10 challenge, which was originally created by ethical fashion
blogger ‘Style Bee’ in 2015, and is now a global trend online. The rules are simple: choose ten items of
clothing and wear them for ten days. You are allowed to add accessories, of course, but shoes are included
in your choice of ten.
Planning the challenge was a lot of fun. I’d seen other bloggers’ outfits from last year, and after that I
was sure I’d be able to make it through the ten days. After all, I do have a lot of hats and scarves! Finally,
I decided on a pair of skinny black jeans (obviously), two pairs of shoes (one flat and one with heels),
one smart shirt, two more casual tops, a warm grey jumper, my favourite denim skirt, and my friend Beth
lent me a pair of baggy brown trousers.
So, how did I get on? Well, you can see the outfits I wore each day (arranged on my sofa) on my
Instagram feed. You can’t see me, but the clothes tell their own story. Beth’s trousers were easily my
favourite item. I wouldn’t normally wear something this shape, but they were very easy to style with
different ‘looks’.
44
Overall, I think I was successful but I made some mistakes, which you can avoid! I planned too much.
It would have been better to leave one item free, as a ‘wild card’ to decide during the week itself. The
weather in London was freezing. I would happily have swapped one pair of shoes for a proper coat. In
the end, I cheated and wore exercise clothes after work to stay warm. (I’m not sure if they’re included in
the challenge. But Style Bee does say that having fun is more important than following the rules!)
I think people who complete the challenge will think differently about clothes. If you read my blog
regularly you will know that I love exploring the charity shops in London. I love wearing old clothes and
creating my colourful outfits (it’s a buzz knowing that no-one else has the same thing). But the 10 x 10
challenge reminds us not to shop at all. Or at least, to think about the purpose of our clothes rather than
just their individuality. Over the next year, I intend to only shop for accessories and to swap more clothes
with my friends.
Example: Sara’s blog is about _____ fashion.

A cheap B current C slow ✓
1 Sara encourages her readers to ______.
A shop less B talk more C wear more clothes
2 ______ aren’t included in the choice of ten items.
A shoes B scarves C tops

5 Sara says other people should _____ before the challenge.
A plan more B choose three colours C only choose nine items
6 Sara had to wear _____ because of the cold weather.
A the grey jumper B exercise clothes C a coat
7 Style Bee says that _______ isn’t that important during the 10 x 10.
A being fashionable B following the rules C having a good time
8 Sara often tells her readers about _____ in her city.

Thank you to the kind commuters who helped me on the train between Cambridge and Ely on July 21st.
I had been in Cambridge for a university interview and had rushed to the station because there’s only
one fast train an hour to London King’s Cross. I was literally running when I dropped my phone. I picked
that up and then jumped on the train just before it left the station. A few minutes later, I read the electronic
noticeboard in the train and saw that we were going to King’s Lynn, not King’s Cross. I realised I was
heading to the seaside and not London! I’m not used to travelling on my own. When I saw that my phone
was broken too, I started to cry. I think most of the people in the carriage helped me to calm down and
explained what I needed to do. A very kind lady let me use her phone to tell my mum what had happened.
I changed trains at Ely and caught the next train back to King’s Cross from there. I don’t have a very
good sense of direction for someone who wants to study geography after school, do I? Thank you
everyone!
James @James&family00buzz
Thanks to everyone who looked after my son at the London Eye yesterday. We had just visited the nearby
London Aquarium and my two boys wanted to see the London Eye before we went home. It was terribly
busy and I had my youngest son in a pushchair. Thomas, who is six, wanted to go faster and ran off
ahead. I immediately lost sight of him in the crowd. He got to the Eye and then realized he was lost.
Apparently, many people stood in a circle around him to keep him safe. The police were there in seconds,
and one police officer carried Thomas on his shoulders to watch for me. I reached him about 2 minutes
later. By then, a kind street performer — one of those guys who stands still like a statue — had even
bought Thomas an ice cream. I was terrified but Thomas was delighted. I am grateful to you all.
Marissa @SuperMari_0058
Thanks to the man with the grey and green water bottle on the London Underground Piccadilly Line.
The weather was so hot and I was feeling faint. You gave me your seat and your water bottle. I think you
had red hair but you definitely had rainbow striped socks because I was looking at them for about 10
minutes. I thought I was going to be sick so I left the train at Barons Court station to cool off before
getting back on the Underground. I took a little walk to look for a café and found several flats to rent.
I’m moving to Barons Court next week! Would you like your water bottle back?

My music icon
Hi guys! I’m Fleur, and today we’re discussing musical icons. Pop music today isn’t that inspiring, is it?
If, like me, you find it a bit repetitive and commercial, here’s something new for you to try: chiptune.
No, it isn’t a band — it’s a musical style whose melodies are created using the 8-bit technology from old
video games. Sounds crazy, doesn’t it?
The hero of chiptune fans is Koji Kondo. Kondo was the man who Nintendo hired as their first ever
musical composer back in the 1980s. Kondo enjoyed computer arcade games. And he had a little
experience of composing music for his band, which played mostly covers of famous rock songs (he
played the piano). You may not recognize his name, or face, but believe me everyone knows Kondo’s
work. His first full composition for Nintendo was the music for Super Mario Bros, which is one of the
best-selling games of all time. That was in 1985 and, unbelievably, he followed it up with The Legend
of Zelda in 1986. That’s pretty awesome, isn’t it?
Before Kondo, games music wasn’t very important. Now we know the right music can improve our
enjoyment of the game. Writing good music for games can be challenging. For example, the music can’t
fill more than a certain amount of computer memory. Also, because the player controls what’s happening,
the music can’t tell one long story like a film or TV score. So games composers might write a ‘thinking’
tune, and a ‘running very fast’ tune, and a ‘battle’ tune, and so on.
Kondo says he doesn’t begin creating his music until he has a prototype game to play. Then he plays it
for hours and hours. He says he wants the music to match what it feels like to play the game. Interestingly,
the places where he has his best ideas aren’t at work. He says he often finds inspiration in the bath, or
walking around his house, or even in his sleep!
Kondo’s compositions are only contained within games, but there are plenty of chiptune bands using the
same technology to create pop tracks. Some people say chiptune doesn’t have enough human emotion,
but I completely disagree. Just because there isn’t someone singing about love and heartbreak, it doesn’t
mean there’s no emotion, does it? These tracks certainly make me smile. They have a catchy rhythm that
makes me want to dance in my chair. My friends found chiptune weird at first, but I’ve played them
tracks that have a chiptune backing track with more normal pop singing over the top, and they seem to
prefer that. Chiptune may never be a commercial ‘hit’, but we wouldn’t want the whole world to sound
the same, would we?
Example: Chiptune, which is created using _____, is a style of music.

A just drums B old technology ✓ C a piano
1 Most people will recognize _____ .
A Kondo’s name B Kondo’s voice when he speaks to them
C Kondo’s compositions
2 Kondo, who _____, is not a trained musician.
A used to be in a famous boy band B can play the piano
C had never composed before
52
3 Kondo’s most famous composition, which was written in 1985, is _____ .
A Super Mario Bros B The Legend of Zelda C Tetris
4 Games music can’t ____.
A distract the player B use too much computer memory
C be challenging
5 Games composers write _____ that fit together when the game is played.
A short pieces of music B film music C a long musical story
6 It’s ____ that Kondo wants his music to match.
A the game’s story B his own feelings C the players’ feelings
7 Kondo has his most creative ideas _____.
A while playing games B at home C in his office
8 Some people say chiptune is _____.
A unemotional B uncreative C repetitive
9 The tracks that _____ contain a mix of chiptune and normal pop.
A Fleur prefers B Fleur’s friends prefer C make Fleur smile

Example: Fleur isn’t a fan of most pop music today. T
1 Chiptune fans idolize Koji Kondo. _____
2 Kondo didn’t enjoy computer games when he was younger. _____
3 Nintendo hadn’t hired a full-time music composer before. _____
4 The music and the computer game are written at the same time. _____
5 Fleur says chiptune tracks are about love and heartbreak. _____
6 Fleur doesn’t think chiptune will ever be commercially successful. _____

PART 3: READING
A) Read the text and answer the questions that follow.
Face recognition
We now upload over four billion photos a month onto Facebook, and anyone who uses the site is familiar
with the idea of face recognition software, which can tell you who is (or might be) in your photo.
Face recognition is being used in many different areas, especially to help the police identify criminals.
Computers are not able to read faces like humans can, but they can be trained to compare a face with a
photo that is stored in a database. They do this by noting certain features, or, for example, measuring the
distance between the eyes. A ‘smart’ surveillance system – cameras which record our movements in
public spaces – has now been developed by a Japanese company which can look through 36 million faces
in one second to find a matching one. Many people say they feel safer if there are cameras to protect
them in public places, but others are not comfortable with the fact that so many images of us are stored
in a database.
The technology is not yet perfect (people who have had plastic surgery can especially confuse the
system!), but it is now often preferred to other forms of conventional identification. This is partly because
it can be used without us knowing. Face recognition is being improved all the time. Other new technology
has been designed which can predict how a face might look as it gets older or which can fill in missing
parts of an image. It can even identify someone from video taken in very low light.
In the future, face recognition might also inspire many more good business ideas. There is already an
app for smartphones to tell how many people are at a club, and the ratio of men to women. Sony has also
designed a camera that waits for you to smile before it takes a picture.
Finally, facial recognition doesn’t just recognize humans now – tests have been carried out which show
that individual chimpanzees can be recognized, a development that could be used to protect wildlife in
the future.
1 __________ photos are uploaded onto Facebook every month.
A 36 million B More than four billion C Fewer than four billion
2 Computers are able to __________.
A record the differences between two images B recognize faces like people can
C measure the distance between two people
3 It takes __________ one second to search 36 million images.
A the police B a computer C a surveillance system
4 Many people like surveillance systems in public places because __________.

A occasionally makes mistakes B is likely to make mistakes
C is 100 per cent accurate
6 Other technology has been designed to show __________.
A how we can improve ourselves B how we can predict the future
C how we might look when we’re older
7 A smartphone app can tell __________ in a club.
A how much people spend B the number of men and women
C us how to save time
8 A new camera doesn’t take a photo until people __________.

9 Facial recognition __________ animals in the future.

Sara’s blog
Welcome to my blog where I talk about other blogs I have enjoyed reading!
This week I have been really inspired by two women who blogged about their exciting experiments with
shopping and fashion. First of all, there’s the English woman, Belinda, who didn’t buy any new clothes
for a year, and then decided to only shop at charity shops. In her blog, Belinda explains that she loved
fashion, but she didn’t like the fashion industry and that she was fed up with worrying about whether her
clothes were ethically made or not. For a year she didn’t walk into a single shopping mall or department
store. Can you imagine? She was also very good at sewing, so she was able to adapt the clothes she
already had. If she had something that didn’t suit her or wasn’t fashionable any more, she wasn’t afraid
to change it and make it look different. She says she liked knowing that she would never meet someone
wearing exactly the same thing.
Another woman, a young American called Jennifer, did something even braver. She actually wore the
same ‘little black dress’ for a year (well, she had seven identical dresses – one for each day of the week).
People asked her if it was boring to put on the same style of dress every day but being so creative, she
found it easy and fun to invent 365 ways of wearing the same dress. In the photos on the blog she looks
amazing just by changing accessories (hats, scarves, belts, etc.), but she only used things she already
owned or that people gave her. So, why did she do it? She says she wanted to set herself a style challenge,
but she also realized that she wanted to do something useful with her creativity. So she set up the Uniform
project and asked people who visited her website to donate money to help send street children in India
to school. She has not only given people lots of great fashion ideas, but has also succeeded in raising
100,000 dollars and sending over 300 children to school. I think that’s really cool!
1 Sara is describing two women who blogged about ______.
A scientific discoveries B experiments with fashion
C how people dress in England
2 Belinda didn’t buy new clothes for ______.
A one year B two years C a month
3 She wasn’t happy about ______.

C the material most clothes are made of
4 Sara says that Belinda ______ clothes herself.
A couldn’t sew B made changes to C made new
5 Belinda modified clothes that didn’t _____.
A have buttons on B fit her C look good on her

6 She enjoyed wearing clothes that _____ in shops.
A couldn’t be bought B could be bought C aren’t often found
7 Jennifer had seven black dresses that were all _____.
A quite different from each other B very similar to each other
C exactly the same
8 She _______ dressing in the way she did every day.
A didn’t like B didn’t mind C was bored
9 She only used extra items that she had or that people had _____ her.
A given B sold C bought for
10 Jennifer raised money to ______.
A educate children B buy clothes C set up a website

The truth about mothers-in-law
Although it's men who tell jokes about them, mothers-in-law are usually less popular with their daughters-
in-law than with their sons-in-law. A recent study of 49 1) ________________ (marry) couples found that two
thirds of wives interviewed said that their mothers-in-law caused them '2)________________ (happy) and stress',
compared with 15% of the husbands. There are a number of reasons for this.
First of all, there is the question of experience. A mother-in-law has already brought up a family of her
own, so she feels that she has a lot of 3) _____________ (know) to pass on. In this situation, it is very difficult
for her to keep quiet. However, when a daughter-in-law is a new mother, she usually wants to find her own way
of doing things. She often interprets her mother-in-law's advice as 4) ________________ (critic), which can
cause a conflict.
Secondly, there is the case of the husband. Both women 5) ________________ (careful) for him, although
each of them loves him in a different way. On the one hand, he is the mother-in-law's son and she 6)
________________ (obvious) wants the best for him. On the other hand, he is the wife's partner, and she wants
him to support her. Both women can get very upset if they see the man taking sides, and this can cause an 7)
________________ (argue).
However, mothers-in-law actually have a lot to offer, despite their reputation for causing trouble. They
are generally excellent babysitters, and they don't mind helping with the housework. As long as they have their
own 8) ________________ (depend) lives and help out only when needed, mothers-in-law can play a very 9)
________________ (use) role in any family. The important thing is that they should not get too involved in their
sons' and daughters' relationship so that nobody feels bad.

PART 3: READING
A) Read the text and answer the questions that follow.
How Serious is Plagiarism?
In 2002, a biology teacher in Kansas – a state in the American Midwest – made national and even
international, news. After Christine Pelton discovered that 28 of her 118 students had plagiarized parts of a major
project, she gave them failing grades. Although this was the school policy, the students’ parents complained. The
school council told Ms. Pelton to make the punishment less severe and to take less points from these students.
Ms. Pelton resigned in protest.
Why did this become such a significant story? Perhaps it is because so many people feel strongly about
what is right and wrong. The incident raised some important questions: What is plagiarism? How serious is it?
The simplest form of plagiarism occurs when someone copies material without giving credit to the source.
However, there are also more serious forms, such as when a student pays someone else to write an essay. Some
people claim that copying is necessary to do well in school. They have realized that their own words are not as
good as someone else’s. Another common argument is that everyone does it, so it’s not a big deal. In fact, it has
been learnt that even some highly respected figures, including Martin Luther King Jr., have plagiarized.
Although some people find reasons to justify plagiarism, others feel the issue is clear-cut: they feel it is
morally wrong, and consider it stealing – a theft of ideas rather than money. These people believe that students
who plagiarize benefit unfairly. They receive a better grade than they deserve.
So what about the incident in Kansas? Was the original punishment too severe? Do teachers have the right
to tell students and parents what is right or wrong? Ms. Pelton, and many others would probably say that the job
of a teacher is to do exactly that.

78
ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS
You don’t need to be able to read a note of music to play in this orchestra – all it takes is a little effort and a
lot of enthusiasm.
A) ________________________________
The East London Late Starters Orchestra (ELLSO) is not the most professional orchestra in Britain, but it is
seriously fun. What is more, all are welcome to join in. After each of its concerts, anyone from the audience
can choose an instrument and have a go. Then the whole orchestra launch into another piece of music and the
new recruits are free to play along.
B) ________________________________
The orchestra, now in its sixteenth year, grew out of a small scheme run by one of the local councils in east
London to give children in the area the opportunity to make music. “I shall never forget the day my daughter
Kate came home from school with a cello,” ELLSO’s founder Chris Surety told me. “They’d had a couple of
teachers come in and play instruments. Then they said, “Who wants one?” Everyone put up their hands, and
they were each given one to take home. Music-making was seen as central to the children’s education, and as
a parent, I found it joyful to see it happening.”
C) ________________________________
Since that time, dozens, if not hundreds, of adults have felt the same thrill at handling these beautiful instruments,
a lot of them for the first time in their lives. And for most, it comes as a revelation that they too can learn to
play. It’s never too late, and there is nothing, apart from their own inhibitions, to prevent them.
D) ________________________________
The idea of starting the ELLSO came about when the council invited parents to drop in for a one-hour sample
lesson. “This was not with a view to getting something going among adults,” says Chris. “It was just to give us
a better understanding of what the children were doing. But we went there, and for me that was it. I had a
preliminary lesson on the cello, and I thought, “I could learn to play these instruments!”
E) ________________________________
ELLSO is all about removing barriers and providing access to music in a friendly, non-competitive environment,
for people of mixed abilities and of all ages and social backgrounds. Fees are based on income. The absolute
beginner, on turning up, will be handed an instrument and given a brief tutorial, before being invited to play
with the orchestra.
79
C) Read the text and choose the correct option for questions 1-5.
Being Polite
Most people want to be polite and behave well around others. Being polite means knowing how to greet
and talk to people. It means using good manners when eating. It means knowing how to give and receive gifts
appropriately. Polite behavior in one country, however, may be impolite in another part of the world. Travelers
need to understand the cultural differences in politeness so that they don’t cause embarrassment.
For instance, when people meet, they often shake hands. How long should a handshake be? Should you
hold the other person’s hand gently or firmly? In the United States, people prefer to shake hands firmly for a few
seconds. In some Middle East countries, people hold the person’s hand gently for a longer time. Handshaking
varies around the world.
What about eye contact? In some countries you show respect when you look someone directly in the eye.
In other parts of the world, to look at directly is rude. To be respectful, a person looks down at the ground.
There are also cultural differences in the way people use personal space. When two people are talking,
should they stand close together or far apart? Exactly how close should they stand? In North America, for instance,
people usually stand up about an arm’s length apart during a conversation. However, in some countries in the
Middle East and Latin America, people stand closer. It can be awkward if one person likes to stand close and the
other person likes to stand father apart.
Three authors wrote a book Kiss, Bow, or Shake Hands about cultural differences. In their book, they
discuss greetings, gift-giving, and time. Around the world cultures have different ideas about giving gifts. In the
United States, if someone gives you a gift, you should open it while they are with you. That way they can see
how happy you are to receive it. In China, a gift shouldn’t be opened in the presence of the person who has given
it.
Another cultural difference is time. If someone invites you to dinner at their house at 6 p.m., what time
should you get there? Should you arrive early, late, or exactly on time? In Germany, it’s important to arrive on
time. In Argentina polite dinner guests usually come 30 to 60 minutes after the time of the invitation. When
traveling, remember that each country has a different definition of being on time.
If you are going to live, work, or study in another country, it is important to learn the language. But it is
also important to learn about cultural differences. This way, you can be polite and make a good impression. People
around you will feel comfortable and respected. Politeness and good manners can be good for making friends,
good for traveling, and good for business, too.
1. Why do travelers need to understand cultural differences in politeness?
a. So they will understand the history of the country they are visiting
b. So no one will be embarrassed
c. So they will feel better about themselves
d. So they can see how they can be better people
2. How do people in the United States prefer to shake hands?

a. Firmly for a brief time
b. Gently for a brief time
c. Firmly for a long time
d. Gently for a long time
3. How closely do people in Latin America or the Middle East like to stand while talking?
a. At an arm’s length
b. More than an arm’s length
c. More closely than an arm’s length
d. They don’t mind the distance
80
4. What should you do if someone in China gives you a gift?
a. Open it in front of the person
b. Wait until the person has left before opening it
c. Open the gift immediately
d. Wait until the person tells you to open it
5. If you show that you understand cultural differences and politeness, how will you make people feel?
a. Uncomfortable and awkward
b. Polite and unhappy
c. Confused and anxious
d. Comfortable and respected
