1.  Read the text and choose the correct alternatives.

Temperatures around the world are rising. This is called global warming. Many scientists believe that the cause of global warming is the amount of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere.

Greenhouse gases are produced when cars burn fuel, when power stations burn coal to make electricity and when people burn forests like the Amazon rainforest to make fields for agriculture.                 Greenhouse gases keep the heat from the sun inside the Earth's atmosphere and make the Earth hotter. As the atmosphere gets warmer, the ice in the Arctic and Antarctic is slowly beginning to melt. The water from this melting ice goes back into the oceans and this causes sea levels to rise. Some scientists believe that sea levels will rise by almost two metres in the next 20 years if global warming continues.

We can all help the environment by doing small things to save energy. We can walk or cycle short journeys instead of going by car and we can take the bus or train for longer journeys. We can switch off electrical equipment at night and we can insulate our homes to save energy.

Governments can also do things to help the planet. They can limit the amount of air travel and the numbers of cars and lorries on the roads. They can make it cheaper to travel by public transport and more expensive to use private cars.

1. Read the text and answer the questions.

 Many people learn a foreign language at school and some people learn to speak two or even three foreign languages well. But there are not many people in the world like George Campbell.

Mr Campbell, who died in 2004 at the age of 92, could speak and write 44 languages, including Russian, Hungarian, Persian and some North American Indian languages.

 When George Campbell was a young child, a dog attacked him and this affected his speech. He was not able to speak properly so the teachers at his junior school in Scotland thought he was a slow student and didn't pay him much attention.

 He started learning languages from books when he was still very young. Before he left junior school he had taught himself Spanish and Italian. He then learnt French and German at secondary school.

During the Second World War he started working for the BBC World Service as a language supervisor and he continued working for the BBC until he retired in 1974. Before he left the BBC he had been the director of the Romanian section for several years.

 After he retired, he taught himself Chinese, Basque and several other languages. He also translated a number of books from Russian, German, Arabic and Polish. In the 1980s he appeared in the Guinness World Records as one of the world's greatest linguists.

 Many British university students have a full-time or part-time job at some time during the year. A recent survey of British students showed that 53% work during the university holidays. The number of students who don't work either in term-time or during the holidays has fallen from 44% to 21 % during the past four years. Traditionally, students work during the summer holidays in areas such as tourism and agriculture, but there is also great demand for temporary workers in retail and catering. Supermarkets, particularly those which are open 24 hours a day, provide work for students during the evenings and sometimes at night. Other work is also available in cafes, restaurants and bars and there is also plenty of work at tourist attractions, amusement parks and holiday centres. Some students go to the United States to help in summer camps for school students. This gives them the opportunity to work for a few weeks and then to travel around for a while.

1. Read the text and answer the questions.

 Vincent van Gogh was born in the Netherlands in 1853. He began to paint in 1880 when he was 27 years old.

 Van Gogh's paintings are now among the world's best known, most popular and expensive works of art. His most famous paintings are his collection called Sunflowers. These were painted during the last four years of his life.

 Van Gogh's style of painting was inspired by the colourful paintings of the French artists, which he first saw in Paris in 1886. Between 1880 and 1890, when he shot himself in a field near Paris, van Gogh painted an astonishing 900 paintings. He also drew more than a thousand sketches and drawings.

 Van Gogh had a very unusual personality. He suffered badly from depression and the long chain of events led to the incident of him cutting off part of his left ear. Many people think that van Gogh's depression was also the inspiration for his art. In a letter to his brother he wrote 'I am not mad, because my mind is absolutely normal most of the time.  During attacks of depression my mind is terrible but that helps me to paint well.'
