Should we form an opinion about someone's personality only from their looks? They say that you can't judge a book by its cover. Weil, apparently .you can! In fact, the art of judging character from a person's ’... has been practised for over 3000 years. It's called physiognomy or 'face reading' and, according to the experts, it's as ^... as any science.
So what can physiognomy tell us? Let's start with the shape of the head. People with wide heads are generally T.. and want to achieve a lot. Long-headed people are careful and trustworthy, and those with short heads can be '*.... They don't do things properly.
What about the eyes, nose or mouth? What do they reveal? Well, .. - people who want everything just right - tend to have eyes that are close together. Pointed noses can show intelligence, while «... people, those who think only of themselves, sometimes have small mouths and thin lips. Even that little square below the nose, the philtrum, has a meaning. Lively, T.. people have.a strong, thick philtrum. People with a weaker philtrum are sometimes ®... or depressed.
But is this just a lot of nonsense? Well, think about the people in your life and judge for yourself

survival camp:

How long can you live without everyday luxuries? Not for very long, as I found out on my wilderness survival camp experience
I had heard about wilderness survival camps from some classmates who went to one last summer. They were very excited about their experience and I was curious. So during last month's term break I decided to go to one. After everything I'd heard, I was really looking forward to it.
On the first day our instructor, James, reassured us that the woodland would provide us with everything we needed,
well almost. James was goin to show us how to find watc food and how to light a fire. V\ were also shown how to bui a shelter with only branch' and leaves.

The power of Feng shui
Is there a room in your home that everyone likes to spend a lot of time in? What about a space that no one seems to use very much? Are you finding it ’... to sleep at night? These questions can easily be answered using the art and science of ancient Chinese Feng shui (pronounced fung shway). Feng shui, which literally means the wind and the water, teaches us how to create harmony and balance around us by making changes in our work and ^.. spaces. By arranging our furniture and decor in a way that aligns with nature, we draw harmony and good health into our lives. According to this ancient philosophy, the placement of everything from the front door to the toilet can affect our overall well-being. The Chinese believe in this philosophy so ^... that they employ a Feng shui master before building or buying
a home.
Here is a story to illustrate its power. A few years ^.. Ken Taylor bought a luxurious apartment that had a large light-filled bedroom. After living in the apartment for a few months, he noticed that ®... its beauty he was not comfortable in the bedroom and as a result he was not sleeping well. A few weeks later, after learning about Feng shui, he understood why. He needed to rearrange the *..., including his bed. In Feng shui, it is believed that in order to get a restful sleep, you need to place your bed where you can see the entrance. That's what Ken did. He also changed the colour of the walls and curtains from dark to light ^.... After making these necessary changes, he began sleeping

The houses in urban or rural areas around the world have many differences. In some areas there are lots of blocks of flats, in others there are actual houses. Some constructions are grey or painted concrete, whereas in others, they are made of brick, logs, mud or a wooden frame covered with canvas. There are reasons to explain these differences - weather or environmental conditions, space constraints or even family economics, local traditions.

в Now read about different types of houses around the worid. For each different type, expiain why this kind of house is used.
The Russian izba
Log houses (izby) dotted the Russian countryside for centuries. Even now, many peasants’ houses in Russia retain the spirit of izby and remain part of the cultural landscape.
The izby were primarily made of interlocking pine tree logs. The type of izba varied depending on the region, eg, in Central Russia, a fence enclosed the peasant’s house, the cattle-shed, haylofts and stables. In the North, however, because of its harsh climate, agricultural buildings were often joined under a single roof with the family’s living space.
The size of an izba depended on the wealth and size of the household. But however big or small it was, its most important part, the hearth, was the stove. It played the key role in peasants’ everyday life: it was used for heating as well as cooking; in
winter peasants used to sleep on top of it to keep warm. The ‘red corner’, another important part of the izba, where the table and benches were placed and the icons were hung, was located diagonally across from the stove. At the long wooden family table, the head of the household took seat nearest the icons. The stove corner, in contrast, was for women - they cooked, spun and did other work there.
The decoration of the izba reflected the artistic
r
taste and skill of the Russian peasants. The roof of the izba was often crowned with a beam (konyok) that was carved in the shape of a horse’s head. This signified that the animal was giving its life to the home so that the home could live. The most striking feature of an izba is the wood carvings that surrounded the windows and hung from the roof overhangs and transformed izby into remarkable works of folk art.
Fortunately, many original izby have been preserved and restored and are now regional open-air museums, one of the richest ensembles gracing the island of Kizhi on Lake Onega.

The Mongolian ger
The Masai of Kenya are a semi-nomadic tribe. They live in an area of wild beauty. Their life involves caring for their cattle and looking after their family or tribe members. Although ihe Masai move around less now than they used to, they still build their houses in the old traditional way. They only use materials that tney can find around them and their dwellings are not really permanent.
The small houses, which are only built by women, are circular buildings. They have a frame of wooden poles which are stuck together and made waterproof with mud, dung from their cattle, ash, sticks and urine. Theliouses are never more than three metres by five, and one and a half metres high. Everything happens in these small houses - the masai cook, eat, sleep and sometimes keep their animals in there. The houses are easy to build and provide a shelter. These houses are usually built as part of a group of other houses. A fence of thorny acacia trees protects the small Masai village and their cattle from the wild animals that roam around at night outside the enclosure.
The Mongolian ger has been used for thousands of years by the nomads of Central Asia. Very similar to a yurt, the first written description of this dwelling was recorded by Herodotus, the 'father of history', who lived in Greece between 484 and 424 BC.
The traditional ger is a tent-like structure made from a wooden frame and felt walls. An outer layer covering the ger is made from waterproof canvas. The whole construction is easy to assemble, dismantle and carry. This feature is of essential importance, as nomadic herders move at least three or four times a year in the search for good grazing lands.
The ger is a comfortable place to live in both during severe winters and hot summers. Due to the opening in the centre of the roof, called the crown, fresh air circulates through the ger. The central wood-burning stove provides even distribution of heat in cold months. When it’s hot, the lower end of the soft covering is slightly raised.
The constructive principle of the ger has changed little since Genghis Khan's times. Only a few elements were adapted to newly developed technology, such as carpentry. This made it possible to craft a wooden crown similar to a wheel in place of a simple piece of wood 'bent into a circle. Even more obvious are the use of a wooden door instead of a felt curtain, and of course the iron stove with a chimney in place of an open fire.
The unique design, structure and practical features make the ger the most common type of habitation in Mongolia. Surprisingly as it might seem, almost half of the population of Ulan Bator still lives in gers.

Excursions
cyberspace
Where did you go on your last school excursion? Maybe you went to a nearby museum, or did you go for a stroll to the local art gallery? If you were really lucky, perhaps you were all taken to the theatre! Excursions have always been part of the school year, A ... than this. Most schools don't have the money or time to take their students to more exciting places. However, for children at Lemmington High, school trips have changed forever.
This year alone, lucky Lemmingtonians have seen Pisa in “ Italy; they've taken a tour of the Louvre in Paris; they've even visited a school in Ulan Bator. And the school year hasn't finished yeti They have plans to meet children in the Outback of Australia В .... But how? The answer is videoconferencing.
(T) These, you see, are virtual excursions and they take place in 'cyberspace'. The children haven't been to Italy and they haven't flown to Mongolia. They've seen these places on a large computer screen in their own classroom. However, as teacher Leonard Bowen explains, C.... 'With videoconferencing, learners experience these far-flung places for real,' says Bowen, who leads the videoconferencing project at Lemmington High. 'A videoconference is a live video link over the Internet. During a conference, our students can see and speak to real people almost anywhere else in the world.' Indeed, the only requirement is that the other school, museum or footballer's house, also has videoconferencing equipment.
Steps to success
To find the right place for a sentence part in
a text:
• Read the whole text to get the gist.
• Look for reference words and links in the sentence part choices: this, these, they, it, one, but, etc.
• Read the sentences before and after each gap in the text.
• Put each sentence part in the most probable gap. Check by reading the text with your answers. Do the sentences go together logically?

But are these virtual excursions as useful as real ones? 'Certainly/ says Bowen. 'Pupils learn about other cultures by communicating with people who live there. It's an amazing experience for everyone involved.' 'And it's not just the teachers who are enthusiastic. The school has been using the system for a year now, D ... . 'We've been doing it about once a month, but we'd do it every day if we could,' says 14-year-old Shelly Brookes. 'We've learnt a lot, but I also feel like we've made friends around the world.' Another advantage, of course, is that virtual excursions are not affected by the weather. If it's been raining non-stop for the last week, that's not a problem!
Not surprisingly, E ... too. One, for example, has interviewed researchers in a camp in Antarctica. Another has spoken to a group of native American children from their school in California. The possibilities are endless.
How can your school start videoconferencing? Well, first of all you need the right equipment. Some systems cost almost 5000 pounds, but these are the very best cameras and screens available. However, F ..., as Leonard Bowen explains. 'Our screen is quite big, but it's connected to a cheap computer. Our internet connection isn't the fastest available. The whole system has cost under 600 pounds. Cheap, but effective.'
The wonders of technology have truly brought the world into the classroom. Perhaps you've been wondering G ... . Leonard Bowen, who has worked with children for over 20 years, doesn't think they're history quite yet. 'We've been doing them for years,' he says, 'and kids still enjoy them.' After all, you can't buy a souvenir through a video screen!

Eight-minute mini-lessons boost learning

^lat may sound ridiculous, but for pupils of Aythenden High School in England, it's quite normal TO have 15 breaks in a morning. That's because they ^... a new educational method called 'spaced learning'. ~~ie pupils *... normal lessons of 50 minutes.

Spaced learning' is based on scientific research that was carried out a few years ago in the USA. The research ®... that memory develops best with short bursts of learning. But has the new method helped Wythenden pupils? 'Certainly it has,' says Ron Mackinly, the school's headmaster. 'We've been using 'spaced learning" for two years, and the pupils have never done in maths and science. It's an amazing improvement.'

Years later, scientists who make great discoveries are admired for their cleverness and originality. But some of the great discoveries were not praised at the time they were made.
1
In 1822, the geologist William Buckland had been doing research when he came across some really big teeth. Big-sized bones and teeth had been found earlier by other people, but they were not considered important. Why not? Because they thought they had belonged to giants, which, at the time, were not interesting to scientists. In fact, these teeth belonged to an extinct species of animal that had lived more than 160 million years ago! Buckland knew they were important. He did not come up with the name dinosaur to describe these creatures. Sir Richard Owen did that years later in 1842. But he did publish the first ever scientific paper describing fossil dinosaurs. The name Buckland gave to the dinosaur he discovered was Megalosaurus, which, in Greek, means 'great lizard'.
2
Charles Darwin published his book On the Origin of Species in 1859. He had developed a theory, which he called natural selection. It was a theory of evolution, stating that the 'stronger' characteristics of a species become more common in later generations. These are the ones that help an animal or plant survive in their own environment.
At the time, Darwin's theory shocked the world because it didn't agree with what the church had been teaching. Even today, in some parts of the world, Darwin's theory is not taught in schools. Darwin came up with his theory while he was on a five-year scientific expedition to the Pacific coast of South America. He got many of his ideas from the data he collected on the Galapagos Islands.
I

In 1604, astronomer and physicist, Gaiiieo Galilei, proposed his theory of falling bodies. For nearly 2,000 years, people had accepted Aristotle's theory that heavier bodies fall faster than lighter ones. Galileo proved that this was false. He showed that all bodies fall at the same rate no matter how much they weigh.
In a book written by one of Galileo's pupils, an experiment which proved this theory was described. Galileo is said to have dropped two balls of the same material, but different weights, from the Leaning Tower of Pisa. He wanted everyone to see that the balls would reach the ground at the same time. And they did!
People have questioned whether this experiment really ever happened, however Galileo's theory is now regarded as a scientific fact.
4
In 1796, Edward Jenner, an English country doctor, gave someone the world's first vaccination. In the 18"" century, people were terrified of getting a common disease called smallpox. One in three people who caught the disease died. If you did survive, you were left with terrible scars all over your body.
Jenner noticed that after people had come into contact with cowpox, they didn't catch smallpox. Cowpox was similar to smallpox, but it only affected cows. He decided to inject the cowpox disease into healthy people. It was a risk, and other doctors were sceptical. But Jenner had made a major scientific breakthrough. He had come up with a smallpox vaccine. Thanks to his discovery, the threat of smallpox no longer exists and people today are protected from many other dangerous diseases.

A Read the text quickly. What does the writer think about modern devices?
Technology:
A blessing or a menace?
In the 20th century we saw many revolutionary inventions that promised to improve our lives and to reduce the amount of work we do. The belief was that the more technology we allowed into our lives the better our lives would be.
■ ^1»-
But many technological have caused more problems than they have solved. It is an accepted fact that some household .. have increased rather than reduced the amount of work we do around the home. For example, the more kitchen equipment you have, the more work you do in the kitchen.
But this is not the only problem modern technology has had. Some technology has turned out to be more of a nuisance than a good thing. Look at the mobile phone. There is no doubt that when it was invented, the regular phone, or landline, was an invention that made communication easier and more ^.... However, the mobile phone has crossed that line. In many situations it is an ^.. of privacy and in others just plain rude. How many times have you been sitting chatting with someone over coffee or dinner when the person you're with receives a call? Instead of turning it off or Just ignoring the call, they answer it. Clearly, you are not as important as the ^... Let's stop fooling ourselves. Life has not improved in the way the technological revolution of the 20th century had promised it would. It has ®... got worse.

• What is the writer’s opinion of playing computer games?
The Infernef has become widely available and computer games have become more popular than ever before. 3uf is this a good thing? I don't believe it is. but others might disagree.
In my opinion, many young people spend more time online playing games than doing sport or exercising. What is more, computer games can be addictive. This means that people are not in control of their habit and spend hours in front of a computer screen. As a result, they don't study or spend time with family and friends. Others may say playing computer games is fun. Young people work hard at school and need to take time off their studies Щ to enjoy themselves. Furthermore, computer f games can improve your thinking skills p
because you need to think and react guickly p to situations in a game. However, I don't ^
agree with this opinion. Young people should fe avoid computer games because it's almost Ь
impossible for them to control how much time Ш they spend on them. Hesides, weve all got enough bad habits already without adding one more to the pile. In conclusion, although Ш computer games can be entertaining, I think Л there is a real danger they can do more harm than good. Thus, parents should set strict boundaries for their children to follow concerning this type of entertainment.

Science and technology have entered our lives in ways we don’t even realize. Simple chemistry is one element of science
that has changed our lives. Take clothes, for example, and look at how chemistry has changed our choices.
Once, clothes were only made of natural fibres like cotton, silk or wool. Then, thanks to organic chemistry, we discovered synthetic or artificial fibres like nylon, polyester, acrylic and viscose. What are you wearing? Are your clothes made of natural fibres, or synthetic, man-made fibres? They’re probably a mixture of both.
Now think about the kind of clothes you can get that make life more convenient. There are clothes that do not need ironing, which you can’t stain and that keep you dry from the outside and dry from the inside. This is all chemistry. But how does it work?

Cotton is a cellulose-based substance. It comes from plants. In cotton, the cellulose is cross-linked with hydrogen bonds which hold the fabric flat. When it gets wet or sweaty, however, the hydrogen bonds break and it starts to wrinkle. That's why cotton clothes get wrinkled in the washing machine.
Ruth Rogan Benerito discovered that adding a chemical like formaldehyde would stop cotton wrinkling because it stopped the cotton getting really wet. Formaldehyde isn't a very nice chemical. It's toxic, yellow and stinks. The clothes didn't last long and they weren't very healthy to wear.
A lot of research followed, and by 1992 (not that long ago) dimethylol dihydroxy ethylene urea (DMDHEU) entered the scene. It was not expensive, it didn't turn yellow and it wasn't toxic. If your clothes are wrinkle-free they probably contain this chemical.

The best standards of higher education
A React the introduction. What other
universities besides the ones mentioned in the introduction are considered top-notch educational facilities?
In the United States, there is a group of educational institutions known as Ivy League universities. What does 'Ivy League' mean exactly? The term arose from those New England universities that had ivy growing on the walls of the buildings that dotted the campus landscapes. It has come to mean much more than that, however. As these particular American universities offered the best standards of higher education in the country - and at quite a cost, the term 'Ivy League' became synonymous with 'privileged elite', a meaning it still carries today. There are eight universities which belong to this club and whose sporting teams form the Ivy League athletic conference, including Harvard, Princeton and Yale, and all of these universities offer grants and scholarships so that students from meagre means can have an opportunity to attend, providing they have the smarts.
В Now read the leaflet about Harvard University. What makes it so famous, do you think?

Which is the oldest university in the United States? Harvard.
Early History
The university has grown from nine students with one master to more than 18,000 degree candidates, including undergraduates and graduate students. Over 14,000 people work at Harvard, including more than 2,000 faculty members. Harvard was established in 1636 and was named after John Harvard, who left his library and half his estate to the new learning institution when he died. During its early years. Harvard offered courses similar to those of the English universities, particularly Oxford and Cambridge.
Later History
As the university grew in the 18th and 19th centuries, so did the curriculum, particularly in the sciences. Charles W. Eliot, who was university president from 1869 to 1909, changed Harvard from a small provincial institution into an impressive modern university. During his presidency, the graduate schools of Business, Dental Medicine, and Arts and Sciences were established. Enrollment rose from 1,000 to 3,000 students, and the faculty grew from 49 to 278 members.
By the 1930s, the House Plan had been established. This provides a small college
atmosphere within the larger university. After their first year, students go to one of 12 campus Houses and live there for the remainder of their undergraduate courses. Each House has a master and teaching staff, as well as a dining room and library, and offers a large range of athletic, social and cultural events.
Recent History
In the 20th century, the quality of undergraduate and graduate education at Harvard continued to improve. The university - keen to make higher education available to everyone - provided more and more scholarships to poorer students. In 1943, Harvard and Radcliffe signed an agreement which allowed Radcliffe’s women students into Harvard classrooms. At this time, the university also firmly established its role as an outstanding research institution.
Harvard’s excellence has continued into the 21st century. It is consistently the number one university in the world in international college and university rankings. The university makes every effort to ensure it attracts the best teaching staff, and the strongest students regardless of financial circumstances.
US President Barack Obama is a graduate of Harvard Law School. While there,, he was president of the Harvard Law Review - a legal journal published by students at Harvard Law School. In fact, he was the Review’s first African-American president.
Tommy Lee Jones, an Academy Awardwinning actor, attended .Harvard on a scholarship, was roommates with future US Vice President Al Gore, and played for the university football team. He graduated with a degree in English.
Actress Natalie Portman graduated from Harvard with a bachelor’s degree in psychology, there she was a research assstani in a psychology lab and she coauthored two research which were published in journals.

The different means of transport we use in our day-to-day lives ’... a long way. Just think, a little over 100 years ago many forms of private transport - the motorbike, the car, the bicycle -' would have been inconceivable. But today most households have at ^.. one car and many have a motorbike or a bicycle. But what's in store for us in the future? What will we be driving or riding 50 years from now? We asked Nick Hunter, a futurist, whose job is to predict future technological innovations, to tell us his views.
'If we take into consideration the problem with fossil fuels, the next big change is going to be the use of more environmentally friendly cars. In fact, within the next 20 years, most ^... will have replaced the petrol powered cars we're driving today with a car that *... on alternative energy sources such as electricity or even soiar power.
Another type of car we might be driving very soon is a smart car. When our streets *... , which I'm sure they will be soon, drivers with 'smart' cars will be able to relax while their cars detect magnets placed along specialized highways. The cars will run automatically as the highway computer system *... the flow of traffic, resulting in steady,
safe transportation.
Looking .. into the future, it's hard to' know for sure. We could very well be driving cars that can also fly in 100 years' time or perhaps riding hover bikes with jet engines and propellant tanks in place of wheels!

Dear Ms Papadaki,
We are writing to enquire about the four-day Greek Island cruise your company is offering. My family and I are interested in going on this cruise, but we were wondering if you could answer a few of our queries first.
(1)..., your advertisement states that we will visit four Greek islands. Could you please let us know which ones? We are particularly interested in visiting Santorini and were wondering if this is one of the islands we will be visiting. Could you (2)... let us know which archaeological sites we will visit and if you offer free guided tours?
(3) ..., my family and I are interested in travelling in the first week of July. Could we ask if you have a cruise that week? If so, please let us know the exact dates.
(4) ..., in your advertisement you mention that you have special discount rates. Would you mind telling us what these rates are exactly?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Yours sincerely,
Emily and Giuseppe Conti

Five years for fooling the art world
A 47-year-old Bolton artist has been Jailed for five years. In court, Bob Harris ’... that he was guilty. However, Judge Sir Toby Knuckles ^... that Harris must be punished. He ^... that Harris had wasted his great skills to
deceive instead of making an honest living.
Harris' skills certainly were impressive. His forgeries ranged from fake ancient Roman sculptures to copies of modern landscape masterpieces. Bolton Council, for example, agreed to pay Harris £400,000 for a fake Egyptian statue. Today, Ned Bungle, who bought the statue for the Council, “... that he should have been more careful. However, lawyers ®... the court that Bungle was not the only one deceived by the fakes.
The Bolton-born artist ®... he had inherited the 'masterpieces' from his grandparents. He had hoped to sell a fake portrait to London's Tate Gallery, but an expert realized it was not authentic. When police ... him if he knew the works were forgeries, Harris refused to admit anything. Judge Knuckles ... galleries not to be
fooled by artists like Harris in the future.

Andrei Rublev
Although little is known about his life, Andrei Rublev is considered one of the greatest Russian painters of Orthodox icons ever to have lived. He was born in the mid 1300s, his birthplace being unknown but believed to be near Moscow. He was a monk who lived in theTrinity-St. Sergius Lavra and studied Sergius of Radonezh's work. He painted icons and frescoes for famous Russian Orthodox churches such as the Assumption Cathedral in Vladimir. His most famous work was the Trinity, which is regarded as being one of the greatest works in Russian art. The figures in his work are characterised by peaceful facial expressions rendered in the Byzantine manner, giving the work a symbolic nature, as opposed to realistic. Also featured in his art is the belief of asceticism, which describes a life completely absent of material wealth and devoted to spiritual well being. He often worked with other painters and

Born in the late 1800s, Mikhail Larionov and Natalia Goncharova were known for their futuristic painting styles. They painted during a significant transitional period in art in which painting made a radical departure from previously accepted standards. It was a time when such artists as Picasso, Van Gogh and Matisse were getting recognition for their unusual manners of painting. Both artists embraced several movements throughout the timeline of their work, including Impressionism, Cubism and Russian Futurism. The pair met early in their art careers in 1900 and formed a lasting relationship, although they did not marry until 1955. They were known for pushing boundaries and sometimes went too far. Larionov was expelled from art school three times for refusing to follow his instructors’ orders. In an
effort to break down social norms,Goncharova and her friends would paint their faces and display themselves out in public for the world to see. Goncharova faced legal troubles when she featured nudes in her artwork, but was eventually cleared of all charges. Their vivid artistry and fearless nature have made them two of the greatest Russian artists of the early 20th century.

his style of painting eventually became the standard in religious artwork at that time. He worked with his teacher and mentor, Theophanes the Greek, a Byzantine Greek artist and another great icon painter of Russia. Together they painted The Assumption Cathedral of the Moscow Kremlin. In 1988, the Russian Orthodox Church made Andrei Rublev a saint, the first ever Russian painter to receive this honour.

Lacemaker V.Tropinin. 1823
Vassily Tropinin
Born in the 1770s, Vassily Tropinin lived most of his life as a serf and wasn't a free man until he was well into his 40s. When he reached adulthood, he was ordered to learn cake decorating; however, he studied
drawing in secrecy at the Imperial Academy of Arts in Saint Petersburg.
He was eventually allowed to study at the academy without being officially enrolled, and he showed impressive talent in his early work. Just as he was being discovered as an artist, his owner pulled him back to rural Ukraine to work in a bakery. However, his owner, perhaps after realising the talent Tropinin possessed, changed his mind and ordered Tropinin to begin work copying famous works of art and producing family portraits. Tropinin became known for the highly realistic quality of his work, able to depict subjects as the world saw them. Upon securing his freedom, Tropinin moved to Moscow and began displaying his work in prominent art galleries. He painted more than
3,000 portraits in his lifetime.
D Answer the questions.

5 Under what circumstances did Tropinin receive training in the arts?
6 How is it that Tropinin went on to become a painter or portraits?
Mihail Chemyakin
An artist who refused to accept the socialist and communist ideals of the Soviet Union, Mihail Chemyakin found himself at the centre of controversy at the very beginning of his art career. Through his Job at the Hermitage Museum, he and a group of artists and other museum employees staged an exhibition in 1964 that showcased art outside the realm of Soviet Realism, an art movement that praised Soviet ideals. For this, Chemyakin and his colleagues were forced to resign and the museum director was fired. It was not long after that that he was forced to leave the country, settling in Paris.
A painter and sculptor, Chemyakin's work features a wide range of subjects and uses brightly coloured imagery and odd, contorted shapes to project his ideas. After the fall of the Soviet Union, Chemyakin's work was reintroduced into the country, and he has been commissioned to create public works of art

A book discussion club, often simply called a book club, is when a group of people meet to discuss a book they've all recently read. They are quite common in the UK, as they are a wonderful opportunity to talk about specific books and express opinions about a book's plot, characters and events. Members typically have literary discussions during the meetings, but it is not uncommon for members to talk about other topics, as the club also serves as a means of socializing. The book selections can be any type of book the members decide upon, but award-winning fiction books are popular choices

uploaded to the site by subscribers, and they tan be viewed by anyone in the world with internet access. The video clip! are short, but there are millions of them. Imagine having a TV that receives homemade programmes which are broadcast by thousands of homemade 'channels' - that's You Tube. And that's what makes it special. It's all done by amateurs.
C
Nevertheless, their creativity is amazing! Whole soap opera series have been written, performed and filmed by just a few friends. There are beautiful animations. There are professional-looking documentaries from amateur journalists. There are any number of 'How to ...' videos that teach you everything from 'How to build your own aeroplane' to 'How to be emo'. It's all there on You Tube.
D
So who's watching? Well, according to the figures, nearly everybody. Around one hundred million videos are downloaded from You Tube daily; about five billion clips are viewed annually; each minute 13 hours of new video are uploaded and sixty-five thousand new movies are added every day. The numbers speak for themselves, and they are rising all the time. It's no surprise that You Tube is the third most visited website on the Internet.
J
3 What does the writer want to emphasize about You Tube in paragraph C?
A It’s unprofessional.
В It’s varied.
C It’s funny.
D It’s free.
4 How many clips are watched every day?

The site also has some of the funniest content on the net. Hilarious clips of dancing hamsters and unfortunate accidents arewievyed by Millions. However, You Tube isn't just for |aughs. If you're a music lover, almost every pop video'that has even been made is there, if you're a teacher, there are a host of school channels for your

The traditional media h#r%fefen giverv a huge shake-up by You Tube. Why? Because the audience make the programmes for themselves!
What's more, fame and stardom are being changed by You Tube forever. Until recently, if you wanted to be famous, you had to get your act seen by a show business agent. Not anymore! You want fame? Put yourself on You Tube. That's what teenage internet celebrity Lucas Cruikshank did. Cruikshank made his own show, called Fred. It is now one of the most popular shows on the net. New Zealand actress Jessica Rose, comic Lisa Donovan and singer Savannah Outen have all found fame the same way.
H
Could all our media look like You Tube in the future? Unlikely. Nevertheless, over the next few years more videos will be uploaded, more internet stars will be made and more people will fall about laughing at the sneezing

When I heard that The Golden Compass had been turned into a film, I was so excited. I went last Saturday night to see it with my friends at the local cinema. The film is based on my favourite book, Northern Lights. The book is the first in a series of three books called His Dark Materials. They're great books, and I would recommend them. Unfortunately, the film was a great disappointment.
The plot is all about Lyra, an orphan who lives in Oxford. Lots of children start disappearing. When Lyra's best friend is kidnapped, she goes on a journey to rescue him and to solve the mystery. Along the way she meets lots of other characters, such as some people called the Gyptians and a talking bear.

It's an exhilarating story. However, I wasn't convinced by the actors. The film has a star-studded cast, and that's the problem. Nicole Kidman was too beautiful to be a villain. Every time I saw Daniel Craig I was reminded of James Bond! Actually, I think his performances in James Bond films are much better, especially in the latest one. There was some intelligent acting from Dakota Blue Richards, as Lyra, and gorgeous Eva Green, as Serafina Pekkala, but I'm afraid they couldn't save the film.
My verdict? There were some astonishing special effects. The costumes were sumptuous and the music was lovely. However, if you enjoyed that fabulous book as much as 1 did, you're better off avoiding this film.

What will they think of next?
A Gerry
I'm not really an athletic person and I've never been into sports but I think if I took up a sport, I'd like to do something unusual. A few weeks ago I was watching a TV programme about unusual interests and sports and I saw something that looked strange enough for me to try. It's called extreme ironing. The people who do it claim it's more than just an extreme sport. They like to call it a performance art! Personally, I think it looks like a lot of fun. What happens is you take an ironing board to a remote place (for example, to the top of a mountain, to a desert or even under the sea!) and iron a few items of clothing on it. I must admit, I really like the idea of combining the excitement of an extreme outdoor activity with the satisfaction of a well-pressed shirt. Whacky!
В Penny
I've been doing free running for some time now and I really love it. Some people call it an extreme sport, but I like to think of it as an art you do with your body. In fact, it's more similar to dance than to regular running. It's usually done in cities and it involves performing different movements to get over buildings and walls. Movements like running, jumping, acrobatics, dance - anything that will keep you moving. As you run, you focus on freedom and beauty. The aim is to create a beautiful way of moving. We practise in gymnasiums and in any city areas that are full of obstacles like buildings, cars, walls, trees, etc. It can be quite dangerous and injuries are very common. But if you train well and warm up before you run, it's not as unsafe.
г
I've always loved the sea and have tried many different sea sports. I've been water-skiing, windsurfing and of course swimming. But last summer, on a trip to Spain, I tried wave jumping. It was amazing! I saw people doing it during a storm off the coast of Cantabria. They were using their windsurf boards, but you can actually use anything that floats - a surfboard, a jet ski, or even an air mattress! Obviously, you can only do this sport if the weather conditions allow for it. There have to be fairly large waves. The higher the wave the higher you can jump and, of course, the harder you fall! This can be a dangerous sport as the sea and the waves are very unpredictable. But if you're careful, you'll be fine and if you start with small waves, you can slowly progress to bigger waves.
D Will
I suppose most people would call me crazy. You see I've always been fond of extreme, adrenaline-raising activities. You name it. I've probably tried it! I've been bungee jumping, hang-gliding, skydiving and rock climbing. What I'd like to try next though is ice climbing. I've been reading up on it and plan to try it this winter. It involves climbing up steep ice formations. Like rock climbing, you need to use ropes if you want to do it the safe way - and I don't plan to do it any other way. I'm going to try it on icy cliffs in the Canadian Rockies, but you can do it on frozen waterfalls, rock slabs covered in ice, or any vertical icy surface. Like mountain climbers, many ice climbers risk losing their toes and fingers to frostbite, but that's really only if you do it regularly. I'm not sure yet if I'll want to do it a second time. It will all depend on how the first time goes!

e benefits of team sports.

the most interesting articles next month.
В Read the article. Are any of your ideas mentioned?
Team sports:
why should we play?
There's no doubt that most people are aware of the physical benefits of taking part in team sports. But can playing team sports offer us any other benefits?
The answer is, yes. To begin with, it's a fact that if you exercise, you have more energy and you feel better about yourself. As a member of a girls' basketball team. I've noticed that teenagers who play team
sports are more active in general. What I mean is, they have more interests, they do more and they even study more!
I think another important benefit is that when you are in a team and work closely with other people, you learn to co-operate and you improve your social skills. Because you learn to work together with others rather than competing against them, as a member of a team, you tend to make more friends.
As far as I'm concerned, playing a team sport can definitely offer many benefits. But perhaps the best thing about it is the fact that it's a lot more fun than staying at home!

Have you got the right stuff?
Have you ever watched the Olympic Games and noticed that for each sport the competitors have a particular body shape? There are three basic body types and we are usually a combination of
these.
A Endomorph
If you are an endomorph, you are pear shaped with a round head. You have quite broad shoulders and hips and you carry quite a lot of fat on the body, upper arms and thighs. Endomorphs are suited to sports that require strength, but not agility and speed.
В Mesomorph
If you are a mesomorph, you have a wedge-shaped body with broad shoulders, slim hips, a lot of muscle and not much fat. The mesomorph is well suited to sports that involve strength, agility and speed.
C Ectomorph
If you are an ectomorph, you are very tall and thin, with narrow shoulders and hips, long limbs and little muscle or fat. The ectomorph is better suited to endurance sports and gymnastics. They are unable to build up great strength.
Шй.,
■4i§r\V;V '
The swimmer
The perfect swimmer is tall with long limbs. The swimmer should have broad shoulders and slim hips, and it helps to have big feet and hands. Some of the best swimmers in the world have enormous feet. It helps propel them forward.
•...
The rower
The rower needs to be extremely tall, strong and heavy, but have very little fat. They also need to be able to pump oxygen around their bodies fast. They have the highest air intake of all sports - 300 litres a minute.

The sprinter
The perfect sprinter has slim hips, but has really good muscles in the legs. He/She needs to be able to get the muscles working fast. That means the muscles need to have fast twitch’ fibres - they work very effectively for a short burst of activity.

The marathon runner
A marathon runner needs to have a lot of stamina. ‘Slow twitch’ muscles are more suited to this because they can keep producing power for a long period. It helps if they have a small build and a light frame, and they’re not too tall.

The gymnast needs to be small, very strong and light. They need to have an even

D Before you read the next part think about the following: What other factors make you very good at a sport? Then read on and answer the question.
Megan Still was proof that having a perfect body for a certain sport can make a big difference. She was chosen in 1987 to be trained as a rower. She had never rowed in her life, but within ten years she had won a gold medal. Having a body perfectly suited to a certain sport is fantastic. However, you need to have good training and technique, and there are other genetic factors that can work in your favour.
Genetic study has shown that some people use oxygen more efficiently than others. Some people have a genetic mutation which means that there are more red blood cells in their bodies. Because of this, more oxygen circulates round their bodies and it allows them to perform better at endurance sports.
If you do enjoy a sport, don't stop it just because you feel you aren't physically suitable.There is no greater motivator than passion. Anyway, not everybody takes up a sport to become a professional athlete, and when you do start a certain sport, your shape changes to fit the sport if you train a lot. So don't look in the mirror and give up. Try it! There are always exceptions to the rule.
E Answer the questions.
1 Which body type has the least amount of fat?
2 What group do you think most top models fit into?
3 What’s the difference between ‘fast twitch’ muscle and ‘slow twitch’ muscle?
4 Why do rowers need to have a good set of lungs?
5 Why is Megan Still a good example of matching body type to sport?
6 How would having extra red blood cells benefit a long-distance runner?
7 Apart from body shape and genes, what three things can help you to be good at a sport?
Project: Sports people
Choose three sports that you enjoy and write short profiles for the kind of athletes that would be ‘suited’ to the sport. Think about the body type they might have.
Here are some ideas:
• rugby player
• rock climber
• skier
• boxer
• tennis player
• high-jumper or long-jumper
• football player
• basketball player

WTy'i',VtihlHfh-.l til 'fti'iW ^yiiSalgi;'iLeaWK^OW '
Printing may very well be on the decline. These days, fewer and fewer people are buying newspapers and magazines and are instead reading these periodicals online. As a result, publishers of these traditional forms of media are struggling to cover the costs of printing them. But would the world be a better place without print media? True, the trees on our planet might breathe a sigh of relief, but would our eyes feel the same way after staring at a computer for hours on end? Will bookshops become a thing of the past also? If these trends continue, we may find ourselves forever strapped to an electronic device just to stay informed of current events.

* I'T If you wanted to discover a new species of animal, where would you look? The rainforests might be a good place to start. The deserts could hold secrets under the sand. But your best bet would be the oceans. The oceans cover nearly three quarters of the Earth's surface. They are so vast and so deep that scientists have only just begun to learn what lives there. And the creatures they do know about are so bizarre they look like visitors from another world.
?2 'The oceans are a place of extremes,' says Professor Sally Fishwick of Bristol University, 'they are home to the biggest creatures on our planet.' And she's right! Take the blue whale, for instance. Growing to over 30 metres long, weighing around 180 tonnes and with a heart the size of a car, it is the biggest animal that has ever lived. These monsters of the ocean are an example of a phenomenon called deep-sea gigantism. 'We don't know why,' explains Professor Fishwick, 'but when some species evolve deep under the sea, they become huge.' The colossal squid is another example. This bizarre beast can grow to ten metres in length, weigh nearly half a tonne and has the largest eyes of any known animal.
3 But it's not Just giants that make the oceans so special. Almost every day scientists are finding creatures that are, in the words of Sally Fishwick, 'just plain weird.' The 'Yeti crab' is a good example. Discovered two and a half kilometres below the surface, this blind beast is covered in white fur and is part-crab, part-lobster and part... alien! Another recent discovery is the 'Dumbo octopus', so called

because of the large fins growing out of its head that look like an elephant's ears.
Some discoveries have left scientists utterly confused. Deep under the icy waters of Antarctica, for example, researchers have found animals that look like flowers. They stand, like tall glass tulips in a field, feeding on tiny creatures called plankton. Some creatures are so different from any other animal that biologists need to create a new category for them.
If you live several kilometres below the surface of the sea, you have to be pretty tough. 'The pressure down there is like having several jumbo Jets on top of you,' explains Professor Fishwick. 'Yet some creatures can actually survive there.' Other amazing organisms have been discovered near undersea volcanoes where the temperature exceeds 400 degrees Celsius. These are exciting discoveries. They show us that we needn't spend millions on space exploration in order to find new forms of life. As Fishwick points out, 'If life exists in such places on Earth, then it must exist elsewhere in the universe.'
Until recently, however, the depths of the ocean were Just as mysterious as the distant planets. The colossal squid, for example, lives so deep in the sea that it has never been seen alive. If fishermen hadn't accidentally caught them over the years, we would never have known they existed. 'If people could see what lives there, they would be amazed,' says Fishwick. Now the latest technology is helping to do Just that.
But it's a race against time. Global warming and the careless way we treat the ocean is threatening this mysterious undersea world. If you think that the extinction of species is something that only happens in the rainforest, you'd better think again. 'We ought to remember that the oceans are full of life, too, and that they need our protection,' urges professor Fishwick.
We should see the story of the blue whale as a warning to us all. If governments hadn't banned the hunting of this beautiful animal in the 1960s, it would have become extinct. Professor Fishwick's words are worth remembering. 'We must put the damage right, or we will lose a world that has only Just been discovered.'

Why do foresf fires happen?
Dear Sir/Madam,
Your reports on the forest fires last week made me so sad.
However, I am sure we can stop this happening again if
we understand the two main causes: nature and our own carelessness.
It is true that forest fires sometimes happen naturally. Nevertheless, we can still prevent these if there are more foresters cleaning up the dry wood and leaves from the
ground. In addition, there should be more firefighters near the forests so they can reach fires quickly.
The second main cause is people's carelessness. It goes
without saying that people shouldn't light fires in the
middle of the forest. Furthermore, visitors often leave litter
behind. When the weather is hot, paper and bottles can
cause fires to start. We need to teach people about these
things. Without a doubt, last week's fires would not have
happened if people had known how to treat the forest properly.
Some people think there's nothing we can do to protect our forests. On the contrary, I believe the solutions are very simple, but we must make an effort. Let's get started!
Yours faithfully,
Paula Pringle, Pinkerton

Like most people, I grew up believing the more chocolate I ate, the more spots I would get. But now we are told that, in fact, there is no evidence that has been able to link it to skin problems. I wish I'd known that then! Research hasn't found any ingredients in chocolate that can either trigger acne ’... . Acne is thought to be associated with the body's reaction to hormones rather than to what we eat.

What about reading in poor light or sitting too close to the TV? What does it do to your sight? Nothing, apparently. These activities may strain or tire your eyes, ^.. they will not. In fact, you can't harm your eyes by using them, unless you stare into the sun. With the size of most TV sets today, you won't be able to see the set properly if you sit too close to it anyway.

Watch out MP3 users, this one is true. It is especially the case for music heard loudly through earphones. So, either keep the sound down low, *... . The maximum volume of most MP3 players is around 120 decibels, which. I'm told, is about the level of a jet aeroplane taking off! In France, they're taking this very seriously. The government has set a limit of 100
decibels in MP3 players, and companies have had to make adjustments.

Funnily enough, this is a myth almost everyone believes. But scans have shown that we do in fact use 100 per cent of our brain! Each thing we do when we're awake (and even when we're asleep) uses a different part of the brain. So, in the course of a day, all of it is used. But even if we were to look at it from an evolutionary point of view, *... would have developed if they weren't necessary.

Surprising as it may seem, it is true: eating apples every day can keep the doctor away. Apart from all the useful fibre it contains, this common fruit lowers the risk of getting certain types of cancer. Apples contain large amounts of phenols, ®... and protect cells from damage. As we all know, there is plenty of evidence to suggest that antioxidants not only keep us looking young, but also protect us from disease.
6
Carrots contain high levels of a compound known as beta-carotene. It is what gives the vegetable its colour. It is also this substance, together with other essentiai vitamins, *... . So, it is true that eating carrots does your eyes a lot of good, but can it help us see in the dark? The answer to this question is no, it can't. Nothing you eat or drink can do that. If you w ant to see in the dark, you will need to get yourself a pair of night vision glasses!

This one is true, but you probably already knew that. The question is why. Warm milk contains an amino acid called tryptophan. Your body changes this into melatonin and serotonin, both of which cause a feeling of sleepiness. So, for those who have problems sleeping, a glass of warm milk before going to bed should ensure ^.. your head hits the pillow.

A Once you have swallowed, the food moves down this narrow tube. This tube connects the throat with the stomach. There’s a small trapdoor called a sphincter at the bottom of the tube. It pops open when the food comes down and the food drops into the stomach. The sphincter snaps closed again afterwards.
В This is the place where food gets chewed up and mixed with saliva. Saliva is mostly water, but it also contains enzymes which break down food. It helps make food soft and easy to swallow.
C This is a very important area for digestion. It’s like a big washing machine. The food drops in and the top area expands. If you’ve had a lot to eat, you can really feel it. While the top part is storing the food, the bottom part starts mixing the food up with digestive juices or acid -this is the muscle working to break down the food even more. Then it has to slowly empty its contents out into the next sections.
DWhen the food gets to this point it doesn’t really look anything like food anymore. More enzyme liquids are
mixed with the food here. These liquids come from the liver and pancreas. During the passage through this area the nutrients from the digested food are slowly absorbed into the body through little tiny fingers called villi. This is where the body really gets its fuel from.
cardiac sphincter stomach
- pyloric sphincter

E This is where all the waste products go. Some absorption of vitamins and water still takes place here, but this is the end of the road for leftover substances such as fibre.

5 At what point are important nutrients absorbed by the body?
6 Where does the body send leftover food?

b What kinds of things should we avoid?
What can go wrong?
One part of the body that we really need to protect is the liver. The liver is in charge of a multitude of functions in the body. Among other things, the liver is in charge of getting rid of the toxins in our body. Toxins are basically poisons. But you’d be surprised what kind of things are ‘poisonous’ for the human body.
The biggest toxin is alcohol. If you drink too much alcohol, the liver doesn’t have enough time to get it out of the body and so the liver can stop digesting fats effectively. Then you get something called fatty liver. But this problem can also be caused by overeating. An overly fatty diet is extremely bad for the digestive system, as is a diet with too much meat.
The fact is that for digestion to work effectively, we need a balanced and nutritious diet. We need to eat the correct amounts of protein, carbohydrate, dairy and fat and enough fruit and vegetables to keep everything working in harmony.

Singapore is one the smallest countries in the world and has one of the densest populations. As such, environmental legislation is extremely important if the city-state wants to preserve what little natural resources it still possesses. These laws, however, have been instrumental in saving Singapore's last remaining rainforest. Building development in Singapore must also adhere to strict standards concerning water management, recycling and air quality.
Once hit hard by poor resource management, Costa Rica has bounced back after embarking on an ecological campaign in the 1940s. In a country that depends on its natural attractions for tourism, such a policy makes perfect sense. Furthermore, with 5% of the world's biodiversity packed into its small borders, preserving nature is vital. To achieve this, a quarter of the country's land has been designated as national parks.
Brazil's infrastructure, built in the decades before energy-efficient methods were in widespread use, is currently being upgraded to make the country more competitive with global economies. One area in which the country has excelled in particular is biofuel. Nowadays, nearly 80% of Brazil's automobiles run on some form of biofuel. As a result, the country has become a leader in
biofuel industries.

your characters more 'real' and helps add drama. However, don't include too much direct speech - don't forget that you're writing a story, not a dialogue!

Teenage consumerism
Consumerism is the term used today to describe our obsession with buying things. Some would say that it has become a way of life. In fact, for many people, spending money equals happiness. Is it any wonder then, that young people have also been affected? Years ago, the pocket money teenagers got ’... an iPod, a trendy outfit or anything more expensive than some sweets, magazines and perhaps even a record. But today, things are different. We interviewed three teenagers about their consumer habits and this is what they had to say.
Paula, 16, is a fashion victim, she admits it herself. Trying to look trendy is listed as her main hobby. 'I spend at least six hours a week shopping for clothes and shoes. I love it! I ^... doing anything else.' Where does Paula find the money to spend on so many clothes when she's only 16, you ask?
'I have a part-time Job working as a cashier in a local supermarket on Friday nights after school and on Saturday mornings. Also, I always ask for cash presents for my birthday and for Christmas. I buy most of my clothes when the sales are on, that way I can buy more with my money. I spend so much time window-shopping ^... from one store to the next. I know where to get the best bargains.' She shows me her shoes and a picture of a similar pair at ten times the price. 'I got these shoes for only £30, the real thing would have cost me over £300! I know I could be doing other things with my time, but I find it hard to resist!'
Paula may spend hours a week shopping, but most of that time she is only window-shopping ^... to do much else. Max on the other hand is a shopaholic. How is

Max
that different from Paula, you ask? Well, Max, 18, buys something every time he goes shopping and he goes shopping every day!
'I'm happiest when I'm shopping. I do most of my shopping online. I find it such a pleasure. 1 don't spend all my money on myself. I get presents for friends, my family and even my dog.' A day does not go by .. on clothes, games, music or the latest electronic gadget. Retail therapy is very real for Max. He is only happy when he is spending money.
Ynti probably couldn't find two more different people than Max and Kathy. Kathy, 15, is careful with her money. So much so, in fact, ®... she is frugal. 'I don't like spending my money needlessly. I don't need to buy lots of jeans and shoes to be happy. I have hobbies, family and friends for that. I save money and spend it when I absolutely have to.' Kathy says she is sensible with money and that everyone else is a consumer victim. She says we need to find other things that make us happy because this is something that will end up costing us more than we bargained for. Spending leads to debt. Debt leads to misery. 'I don't want to be one of those people who cannot see that there are other things in life that can make you happy. Every day more and more shopping malls are popping up around us. Why aren't we building parks instead?'
Where will all this spending lead us? To the poorhouse if we're not careful. As Kathy wisely points out, 'It's a trap. Fashion changes every year and so, to keep up, you have to buy more things every year. Perhaps T.. or so easily influenced by fashion magazines, we could see past it for what it really is - a spending trap. Money doesn't grow on trees and the sooner we realize that
the better.'

A Work with a partner. Can you think of how science helps the police solve crimes? These key words might help you.
• blood •DNA
• fingerprints
• gunpowder
hair
soil samples teeth
В Can you answer these questions?
a Why would a criminal wear gloves to commit a crime?
b Apart from the face, how can you find out who somebody is?
c What other unique features do our bodies have?
d Is it possible to tell when people are lying?
C Now read the text and decide whether your answers were correct.
The unique finger
Forensic scientists can identify criminals and their victims in many different ways now,
but the fingerprint is still the most effective
means of identification. A fingerprint is unique. Each individual has a slightly different pattern on the tips of the fingers, and even if the skin is removed, when it grows back the same pattern reforms. There are tiny sweat glands in the fingertips and when we touch different surfaces, an imprint is left behind.
------Т-1Л - .
Ш
...тггй',:
Fingerprints are not always visible to the naked eye, but at a crime scene, police have a number of methods for finding prints and inputting them into computer systems. Most commonly, a black powder such as ninhydrin is brushed over an area. The powder sticks to the oil from the fingerprints and the print becomes visible. The prints can then be photographed or collected using tape. If a print is on a substance like paper which is porous, the police can use iodine to make the print show up, then, photograph it. Prints will also show up under the light from an argon laser. Surfaces can be dusted with fluorescent powder for this to work. Police rarely uncover a complete fingerprint, yet computer systems can find a match to even a small part of a print. Ninety-two per cent of fingerprint matches in the US are completed using the computer system with no human intervention.
Now researchers are looking at ways to fingerprints from cloth. They are trying to use a metal vapour which rests on top of the fingerprints. This doesn’t yet allow police to make a fingerprint match, but it would be a way to discover whether or not a person has really been the victim of an attack.
My DNA or your DNA
DNA fingerprinting is relatively new. Examples of our DNA can be found everywhere because it is in our cells. So, there is DNA in our hair, in our saliva, on our skin and in our blood. The chemicals in DNA are always the same, but everybody’s DNA is linked up in a slightly different pattern so our DNA, or genetic makeup, is more or less unique.
DNA fingerprinting is a way to identify criminals, but it is difficult. To analyze DNA, you need to get the DNA out of the hair, skin, saliva or blood sample. This is a complex chemical procedure
58
and errors are always possible. However, if a DMA pattern is identified successfully, it is a very effective method of finding dangerous criminals. As with fingerprints, there are databases of the DNA profiles of dangerous criminals and the police can use these systems to find a match.
Usually, however, to identify the criminal, police will need to match two DNA samples. The police may need special permission to take a DNA sample from a suspect.
Other clues
There are other ways to identify criminals or victims. There are other unique patterns in the human body and without realizing, we carry clues which show what we have been doing or where we have been.
A soil sample carried on the soles of our shoes can be evidence of having been present at the scene of a crime. A victim can be identified using dental records, or a criminal could be found using the imprint of lips on
the side of a glass. If a crime has been committed, it is likely that something will point the police in the right direction.
Even though ‘not scientifically proven, body language can tell us whether or not a suspect is lying. When lying, people tend not to look you in the eye, they are not as relaxed and their body movements are more strained.
Science may make crimes easier to solve, but it doesn’t mean there are less of them.
D Answer the questions.
1 What are the three methods that police use for identifying fingerprints?
2 How do police match up fingerprints?
3 Why is fingerprinting and DNA fingerprinting a way to identify criminals?
4 Why do you think there is controversy about DNA profiling and fingerprinting? Think about the fact that once you have given a DNA sample, police might keep it even if you haven’t committed
a crime.
Project: Finding ciues
Read the description of a crime scene below. Imagine you are a police detective. What could you do to get clues? Use the information in the texts to help
you.
At the crime scene we observed the following:
The door had been opened from the inside, but a window near the door had been broken. There were tiny drops of blood near the window. A glass with lipstick on it was left on the table. There was a mark from a high heel and a dirty stain on the floor. Somebody had tried to open a safe. There was a long strand of hair near the safe.

A Read the introduction. What harmful
behaviours covered by the term ‘youth
violence’ does the text mention? Can you add any more?
—tfrfj.44b .-afaicaiMiifetwN^^
Without a doubt, youth violence is a problem worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that there are roughly
250,000 deaths per year for the 10-29 year old age group that result from crime. Youth violence has been diminishing in developed nations, but physical fighting is still quite common and anywhere from 8% to 40% of young people suffer from bullying. Naturally, any kind of violence is harmful to one's physical state of being, but youth violence in particular, because it occurs early in a person's development, can have a lasting and potentially devastating impact on mental well-being. To combat the problem, the WHO focuses on a number of initiatives, such as drawing attention to the problem as well as studying different types of violence in order to isolate specific solutions. The organization also works with agencies such as counselling centres, which help adolescents cope with their problems, and mental health organizations, which aid in stamping out the roots of youth violence before they grow.

In Blackburn and Blackpool, northwest England, a charity has set up a site for teens to post photographs related to incidences of crime as well as youth problems in general. The site was developed in response to adolescents who told the charity that youth crime in the area was their most troubling issue. Young people have actually lent their voices to solutions on a range of social problems such as drugs, graffiti and neighbourhood pollution. Concerning the latter, teens suggested that the city clean out the rubbish bins more often - a

Dear Sir/Madam,
I recently ordered some jeans from your catalogue. When it arrived I found that one leg was short enough and the other was torn. I have tried speaking to one of your representatives about this, but no one answers the phone. For this reason, I have decided writing an email.
Over the years I have spent much money with your company. Generally, your goods is excellent quality and I have had a few problems. However, I have been very disappointed by this latest purchase. I would like either a refund or a replacement.
I hope hearing from you soon.
Yours faithfully,

Note:
may, might and could are used to make predictions that we are less sure about.

In time clauses referring to the future, time expressions such as as soon as, when, before and until should be followed by present simple or present perfect simple tense.
I’ll do it as soon as I get home.
I’ll ring you when I arrive.

Please don’t do anything until I’ve called you.
Question tags

negative main verb You aren’t from Germany,
If the main verb is be, then the verb in the tag is . also be in the same tense.

They haven’t arrived yet, have they?
They weren’t doing their homework, were they? Mike’s been working all morning, hasn’t he? There won’t be snow this year, will there? must arrive on time, mustn’t she?
If the main verb is in the present simple or past simple affirmative form, then we use the auxiliary verbs do or did in the tag.

We use question tags to:
• check that something is true This is your book, isn’t it?
• check that someone agrees with us This isn’t a very good film, is it?

Indirect questions
We use indirect questions to be more polite.

/ wonder if you could tell me what time the next train gets here, (very polite)
Some indirect questions need question marks. It depends on the first phrase.
with a question mark without a question mark
Can/Couldyou tell me ... ? Do you know ... ? Do you think you can/ could tell me ... ? Would you mind telling me 9 • • • • / wonder if you can/could tell me ... 1 wonder if you could let me know ... 1 wonder if you know ... 1 would like to know ...

phrase question word; whether/if subject + verb
/ wonder If you would/could tell me how long it will take.
Do you know whether/if any changes can be made to the ticket?
Would you mind telling me what the cost will be?

Zero, first and second conditionals
Zero conditional
{if + present tense + present tense)
We use zero conditional to describe a situation that is generally true.
If you don’t sleep enough, you don’t feel good the next day
Note:
We can also use when or whenever to express something that is always true.
When/Whenever Jake calls, it’s always bad
news.
First conditional
{if + present tense + will/might/may/can/couid/e\c + bare infinitive)
{if + present tense + imperative)
We use first conditional
• to describe a situation that is real or likely in the future
If I see Toby, I will tell him about the party.
If you tell me what’s wrong, I can help you.
• to describe a situation that is certain in the future When I see Tom, I’ll tell him.

If I was taller, I would become a model.
If I wasn’t so short, I could become a model.
• a situation that we can imagine, but probably won’t happen

If I were you, I would study more and go out less.
• We can also use could in the if clause.
If I could meet anyone famous, I would meet Cristiano Ronaldo.
. instead of If I was ... ,
• When the if clause comes first, it has a comma after it.

• When the if clause comes second, we don’t use a comma.
/ will give you the books if you come to my house tonight.
Conditional links
Instead of if: provided that/as long as Provided (that)/As long as it’s all right with you, I’ll bring a friend to the party.
Instead of if not: * unless Unless someone is late, the meeting will start on time.
For questions: suppose what if Suppose it rains, what will we do then? What if It rains? What will we do then?
like and as
We use like:
• to ask for descriptions or information about someone or something
- What’s she like?
- She’s very nice.
• to say that people or things are similar or the same
She iooks iike Angelina Jolie.
She behaves iike she was the queen.

Unit?
Modals
Modal verbs can, could, may, might, must, shall, should, will, would and the semi-modal ought to:
• have only one form
He can play the guitar well.
• are followed by bare infinitive (simple or continuous) or the bare perfect infinitive Sam must be home by now.
He must have been in a lot of pain.
• are made negative using not or n’t I might not come tonight.
You shouldn’t drink too much coffee.
• do not have an infinitive form (you need to use another word or phrase)
✓ / plan to be able to come to the party.
X / plan to can come to the party.
Note:
The semi-modals have to and need to work in the same way as other verbs.
Do you really need to buy that?
I didn’t have to get up this morning, but I did.
Expressing ability: can, could (in the past), be able to
Josephine can really dance.

Mustn’t means forbidden or not allowed but don’t
have to or needn’t means not necessary.
You mustn’t eat anything before an operation. You don’t have to / needn’t eat your breakfast if you aren’t hungry.

May I take one of these delicious biscuits?
Mum said 1 could come with you!
Note:
had better is an expression which has a similar meaning to the modal verb should. It’s usually used in the contracted form.
It’s late. We’d better get home.
Third conditional sentences
{If + past perfect -t- would/could/may/might + have -\-past participle)
We use third conditional sentences to talk hypothetically about the past. We imagine situations or circumstances that didn’t really happen, and wonder what might have been the result.
If he hadn’t left fingerprints, the police wouldn’t have found him.
If you had got here earlier, we may have caught
the train.
175
Unit 10
Relative clauses
Relative clauses give us extra information about something/someone or identify which particular thing/person we are talking about.
Relative clauses are introduced by relative pronouns:
who, that, whom (people) People who/that live on islands eat a lot of fish. The woman to whom 1 spoke is sitting over there.
which, that (things) The food which/that is in the fridge has gone off.
where (places) The restaurant where 1 work serves all kinds of food.
when (times and dates) 1 remember the day when 1 first met her.
whose (possessions) Is she the woman whose bag was stolen?
why (reasons) 1 can’t understand why you don’t learn to cook.
176
Defining reiative ciauses
The boy who is sitting next to the door is looking at you.
Defining relative clauses:
• tell us what exactly is being talked about (the boy next to the door)
• give us essential information that cannot be removed from the sentence
• do not contain commas
• don’t need the relative pronoun if it is the object of the clause
That’s the man (who/that) I told you about.
Note:
who or which can be replaced by that (less formal)
The boy that is sitting next to the door is ...
Non-defining relative clauses
Harvey Jones, who is sitting next to the door, is looking at you.
Non-defining relative clauses:
• give us extra information about something/ someone
• can be easily left out
• are separated from the rest of the sentence by commas
• must contain a relative pronoun Notes:
which can refer to the entire previous clause.
The food we ordered was very good, which pleased us Immensely.
If we are referring to the previous clause as a whole, we cannot use the pronoun that instead of which.
X The food we ordered was very good, that pleased us immensely.
Other ways to introduce relative clauses
Where can be replaced by in/at/from which.
The restaurant where she had her dinner was expensive.
The restaurant at which she had her dinner was expensive.
The restaurant which she had her dinner at was expensive, (less formal)
Other prepositions can also be used with relative pronouns.
My friends, two of whom will be coming tonight, are all lovely people.
The person to whom I gave the parcel told me you weren’t in.
The day on which/when we won our match was a day to remember.
Unreal past
Past tenses do not always refer to past time. With some structures we use past tense to refer to the present or the future or to a general situation.
• We use the past simple with / wish. If only. It's (high/about) time, would rather to talk about hypothetical situations in the present and future.
/ wish I was beautiful.
if oniy we didn’t have to do so much homework. It’s high time we started going out more!
I would rather you didn’t spend so much money.
• We can also use the past continuous with wish and if only to talk about a hypothetical situation in the future.
/ wish you weren’t leaving this Saturday. (Fact: You are leaving this Saturday.)
• We use the past perfect with wish and if only to talk about something we regret doing or not doing in the past.
/ wish / If only we had not told Tania about Steve. (Fact: We told Tania about Steve.)
• We use would + bare infinitive with wish and if only when we want to criticize someone else’s behaviour (but not our own).
/ wish/lf only George wouldn’t have so many accidents. (Fact: George often has accidents.)
• We only use unreal past with I’d rather when we are talking about someone else. When we talk about ourselves, we use bare infinitive.
I’d rather you left now.
I’d rather leave now.
• I wish is used for things we know are not true, but / hope is used for things we want to be true, and we think they are possible.
/ hope I pass the exam. (Fact: It’s very possible I will pass the exam.)
/ wish I was/were older. (Fact: I’m not older.)
Unit 11
Modal perfect
We can use medals to talk about the past by using this pattern:

/ should have gone to the party last night, They must have arrived home by now.

My City
I live in Rome, which is the capital city of my country, Italy. As a large city, it has all the benefits that large cities have. But what <... makes my city a special place to visit? Its history and its people.
Rome has a very long history and, as a result, it has many monuments and ancient ruins that are thousands of years old.
One of the most famous archaeological sites in the world, the Colosseum, is located in the centre of the city. Millions of peop e
from all over the world come to Rome to see these ruins an to
visit all the museums my city has to offer.
Another special thing about my city is its people. People from all over Italy live here and recently it has become a very multicultura city. As a result, throughout the year there are many cultural events
and international music festivals to attend.
■ As far as I'm concerned, Rome is a fabulous place to visit. It has a lot to offer you no matter how old you are or what your interests are.

position
Almost everyone these days owns a mobile phone. There are many benefits to having one. I believe, though, that people must be responsible when using them, and there is even some danger if
they are used improperly.
In my opinion, people should use their mobile phones more wisely. For example, you can be in a public place and someone nearby may take a call and start speaking loudly for ten minutes. What is more, there are many people who use mobile phones while driving, which
can cause distraction.
Of course, others may say how mobile phones are very.cony.enient.....
^ ^ ..............................
You can speak with a.frierKi orcoHeague at any time wherever you are. Furthermore, they are a good way to stay in touch with others. For example, if you're running late to meet a friend, it is easy to call
them and let them know.
► However, I believe we have a responsibility to others when using mobile phones. It is rude to have long phone conversations in ■public sharing private information with people who don't want to hear it. Furthermore, there is a danger in talking on the phone while driving, as the driver will pay less attention to the road and possibly
hit another vehicle or even a person.
. In conclusion, I believe mobile phones offer many conveniences and are useful in daily life. That said, we must be considerate of others when we use them, and we must use them safely as well.

Graffiti Scrawl Over New School Buildings
When pupils and teachers arrived at Waddington High School in Cheshire this Monday morning, they were met by a sad sight. Vandals had covered their brand new gym and events
hall in graffiti. Football team slogans and names were scrawled in huge letters across the walls and even on windows. This is a sad day for us, said Headmaster Gillian Parks. 'Graffiti seems to be a problem everywhere these days. Why do people do such things?'

Dear Editor,
...^Yesterday I read your article about the vandalism at Waddington High School. Graffiti is a problem where I live, too, and it makes me feel so angry.
My school walls have been written on by vandals many times. The local parks, all the shops and even people's homes have been covered in graffiti. The problem is everywhere, and it makes everything look so ugly. It is often argued j:hat.g.r.3.f.fiti.is..'aj;t.'...O.ri..tbe..co.n.t.rar.y.^What is beautiful about words

vandalism.
It goes without saying that it is mostly young people who cause this problem. Why do they do It and how can we stop them? Parents need to teach their young children to respect things that we share with others. Furthermore, schools should talk about the problem with pupils. Many problems can be solved if we just talk about them.
Thank you for reporting this story in your newspaper. It's high time we stopped ignoring the problem of graffitil .......

РАЗДЕЛА
(LISTENING)
:a5r~^1eEssfe!^tefe.
Раздел «Аудирование» содержит 15 заданий, из которых первое - на установление соответствия и 14 заданий - с выбором одного правильного ответа из трёх предложенных. Рекомендуемое время выполнения заданий раздела - 30 минут. Максимальное количество баллов - 20.
Задание В1 (базовый уровень)
Проверяемое умение: понимание основного содержания прослушанного текста.
Тип задания: установление соответствия. Характеристика задания
В задании В1 предлагается прослушать шесть высказываний на одну тему и установить соответствие между высказываниями и утверждениями. Одно утверждение лишнее. Запись звучит дважды.
РекомендаЕ^ии
Внимательно прочитайте и прослушайте задание.
Используйте паузу после задания для ознакомления с утверждениями и для прогнозирования содержания аудиотекста.
Как правило, утверждения близки по своему содержанию, поэтому искать необходимо различия.
Помните, что утверждения никогда не копируют аудиотекст. В тексте, как правило, использованы синонимы для выражения той же самой идеи. Поэтому если вы видите в утверждении то же самое слово / выражение, которое прозвучало в аудиотексте, это, скорее всего, «ловушка».
На экзаменационном билете вы можете делать любые пометки, лишь бы это было вам на пользу. Например, по мере установления соответствий вы можете вычёркивать утверждения, ставить рядом галочку или крестик. Тогда установить самое трудное соответствие можно методом исключения. Используйте паузу между первым и вторым прослушиванием для проверки ответов.
При повторном прослушивании сосредоточьте внимание на тех говорящих, чьи высказывания вы не успели соотнести ни с одним утверждением.
Задания А1-А7 (повышенный уровень)
Проверяемое умение: понимание запрашиваемой информации в прослушанном тексте. Тип задания: выбор ответа из трёх предложенных (Верно / Неверно / В тексте не сказано). Характеристика заданий В заданиях А1-А7 предлагается прослушать диалог и определить, какие из утверждений соответствуют тексту (являются верными), ^ какие не соответствуют (являются неверны-j ми) и о чём в тексте не сказано, то есть на основании текста нельзя дать ни положительного, ни отрицательного ответа. Запись зву чит дважды.
. \
Рекоменда1^ии
Внимательно прочитайте и прослушайте задание.
Используйте паузу после задания для ознакомления с утверждениями и для прогнозирования содержания аудиотекста.
Помните, что порядок утверждений соответствует порядку изложения информации в тексте.
Обращайте внимание на синонимичное оформление одних и тех же понятий в аудиотексте и утверждениях.
Для определения ответа используйте строго информацию, данную в тексте, не додумывая за говорящего.
Используйте контекст для того, чтобы определить значение новых слов.
Используйте паузу между первым и вторым прослушиванием для проверки ответов.
Задания А8-А14 (высокий уровень)
Проверяемое умение: полное понимание прослушанного текста.
Тип задания: выбор ответа из трёх предложенных (множественный выбор). Характеристика заданий В заданиях А8-А14 предлагается прослушать аудиотекст и выбрать один из трёх вариантов ответов на вопросы к тексту. Запись звучит дважды.
\
194
I
Рекомендации
Внимательно прочитайте и прослушайте задание.
Используйте паузу для ознакомления с вопросами и для выделения в них ключевых слов. Помните, что порядок вопросов соответствует порядку изложения информации в тексте. Помните, что некоторые вопросы проверяют понимание отдельных деталей текста, а некоторые вопросы (которые, как правило, даются в конце) - понимание текста в целом. Опирайтесь исключительно на информацию, приведённую в тексте, а не на общепринятые представления.
Используйте паузу между первым и вторым прослушиванием для проверки ответов. Вы можете отметить различными способами вопросы, в ответах на которые вы уверены, не уверены или на которые пока не знаете ответа.
Привлекайте контекст для определения верного варианта ответа. Например, если в аудиотексте вы слышите те же слова, что даны в ответе, но при этом контекст совсем иной, то выбранный вариант ответа неверный.
РАЗДЕЛ 2. ЧТЕНИЕ (READING)
Раздел «Чтение» содержит девять заданий, из которых 2 задания - на установление соответствия и 7 заданий - с выбором одного правильного ответа из четырёх предложенных. Рекомендуемое время выполнения заданий раздела - 30 минут. Максимальное количество баллов - 20.
Задание В2 (базовый уровень)
Проверяемое умение: общее понимание текста.
Тип задания; установление соответствия. Характеристика задания
В задании В2 предлагается прочитать семь коротких текстов и установить соответствие между текстами и заголовками (темами). Один заголовок (тема) лишний.
Рекомендации
Внимательно прочитайте задание. Прочитайте варианты заголовков (тем) и постарайтесь предположить, о чём могло бы говориться в тексте под каждым из них. Обращайте внимание на ключевые слова, которые несколько раз повторяются в тексте и тематически соотносятся с лексикой заголовка (темы).
Не опирайтесь на первое встретившееся подтверждение - следует найти несколько подтверждений правильному ответу. Старайтесь понять смысл текста, не обращая внимания на отдельные незнакомые слова. Будьте особо внимательны к сходным формам в тексте и в заголовках (темах), поскольку заголовки (темы) зачастую содержат ложные подсказки.
Будьте особо внимательны к видовременным формам, так как лексическое наполнение заголовка (темы) может соответствовать тексту, но иметься в виду может другой период времени или характер действия. Используйте легко вычленяемые единицы в заголовке (теме) (имена собственные, числительные) для быстрого поиска соответствующей им информации в тексте.
Задание ВЗ (повышенный уровень)
Проверяемое умение: понимание структурносмысловых связей в тексте.
Тип задания: установление соответствия. Характеристика задания
В задании ВЗ предлагается прочитать текст и заполнить в нём пропуски, установив соответствие между отдельными его частями и фрагментами предложений. Один фрагмент является лишним.
Рекомендации
Внимательно прочитайте задание. Прочитайте весь текст, стараясь понять его общее содержание.
При подборе нужного фрагмента предложения руководствуйтесь комплексным лексико-грамматическим подходом: убедитесь, что фрагмент и по смыслу, и структурно соответствует как предшествующей части текста, так и последующей.
Прочитайте текст ещё раз, но с уже заполненными пропусками.
Убедитесь, что лишний фрагмент действительно не подходит.
