Reading comprehension [1] Stolen Paintings Destroyed Seven paintings, missing since being stolen from a museum in the Netherlands in October 2012, have beendestroyed by the thief's mother. The mother, being afraid for her son, admitted to digging the paintings out of her son's hiding place in the ground and burning them. The paintings, including impressive works by Picasso and Matisse, went missing after thieves entered the museum through the back door and simply took the paintings off the wall. The stolen paintings were all portraits, with the exception of one, which was a subtle but powerful urban landscape by Monet. They were worth 130 million pounds. [2] Things to see Poppaea's Villa, lying between Naples and Sorrento, is a stunning example of Roman architecture and is well worth visiting. Poppaea was the second wife of the Roman emperor Nero and her house was buried during thevolcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius. There are 55 rooms containing rich decoration and you can see some ofthe finest examples of Roman frescoes there. Most of the murals are still-life, with birds and fruit being the most popular subjects. Villa Poppaea is open to visitors seven days a week. [3] Frida Kahlo (July 6, 1907 – July 13, 1954) Mexico's best-known female painter, Kahlo started painting after being in a road accident and having 35 operations. The famous muralist Diego Rivera, who was impressed by her work, encouraged her to continue painting. After marrying Rivera in 1929, Kahlo travelled with him as he received commissions for murals. Kahlo is known for her many self-portraits, her imagination and her use of bright colours. [4] So guys, in a few seconds you're going to see the Louvre – home to some of the most famous works of art in the world! I'm sure you can guess the painting that attracts the most visitors, can't you? Yes, the Mona Lisa. I bet you don't know about its dramatic history though, do you? It was once stolen by the guy who cleaned the museum, only to be recovered two years later. On other occasions, acid and stones have been thrown at poor Mona but nothing seems to stop her smiling!

And it has been a real culture shock! Chris and I are currently sitting in a little Internet café in Agra. We’re about five minutes from the Taj Mahal, and we’re both really looking forward to visiting it later today. I’ve read so much about it and seen so many photos. I think it’s going to be amazing. It’s very hot so it’s a relief to be inside somewhere nice and cool. We arrived in Delhi on Sunday, and we spent the next couple of days visiting a few sights. We went to a beautiful mosque, and we walked around some very old ruins. It was very hot and crowded, and the roads were so busy with cars, trucks, and buses everywhere! I’ve never seen so much traffic in my life. But the people are so friendly, and the food is amazing. We’ve eaten in a few of the street restaurants. The food is fantastic – and it’s so cheap! We had some vegetarian food in a café near our hotel yesterday. The food was great and the people were so nice. I think if you only eat in western restaurants and stay in western hotels, you won’t experience the real India. We’ve seen lots of rickshaws, the little bicycle taxis – but we haven’t ridden in one yet. I don’t know how the poor rickshaw drivers have the energy to cycle across the city all day.

READING SECTION First read the text. Then answer the questions. Kitesurfing in paradise The tiny fishing village of Cumbuco in Brazil only has about 1600 residents, but it has many more visitors every year. Indeed, Cumbuco is becoming a very popular tourist destination, but it's not for the peace and quiet that people go there; it's because it's the perfect location for an extreme sport that takes your breath away! Kitesurfers stand on a surfboard and hold onto a special ‘kite’ with their hands. They’re pulled along by the wind, like in windsurfing; however, unlike windsurfers, kitesurfers are lifted into the air for long periods of time. This makes the sport even more dangerous than windsurfing and means that kitesurfers can encounter many difficulties. Cumbuco is a popular destination for kitesurfers because of its perfect weather conditions and its long white sandy beach. It's always warm, with an average sea temperature of 23−25° and, more importantly, wind is practically guaranteed for most of the year. Nevertheless, it’s really important to keep an eye on the weather. If the wind suddenly blows in the wrong direction, before long you could be flying away from the beach and land in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by sharks. Yikes! Needless to say, anybody who wants to try kitesurfing should get lessons first. In Cumbuco, where kitesurfing is taken seriously, lessons are offered to kite surfers of all levels and experts are always on hand to help Match the idioms from the text (6−10) to their meanings (A−G).

Read the following text and answer the questions When we communicate with others, we express our thoughts and feelings not only through the words we choose, but also through our tone of voice, facial expression and body language. In fact, many communications experts believe that far more information is communicated non-verbally (without words) than verbally (with words). "Body language" is an important part of non-verbal communication. Body language includes many different aspects of our every day physical behaviour: the way we greet one another; how we stand, how we sit or walk; the way we position our arms and legs or use our hands and eyes are some of the most basic. To learn another language is more than just learning words and grammar, it involves learning about another culture, too. We learn much of our own culture's body language before we learn to speak, from the time we are children, usually without even being aware of it. And that body language varies from culture to culture, so it's something to which second language learners should pay attention. So, how attuned are you to other people's body language? Try this little experiment. Turn the volume on the television right down while you watch people interact on the screen. You may find it is more difficult to understand what's happening between people from unfamiliar cultures. Sometimes, cultural differences in appropriate body language can cause discomfort or misunderstandings too. For example, there are definite cultural differences in how much distance should be kept between two people who are speaking together. If you are used to people keeping their distance, you will feel very uncomfortable, and probably move away repeatedly, if someone keeps trying to stand closer to you at a party! We call this the "personal comfort zone". Another common example of misunderstanding is the use of a smile. In some Asian cultures, a smile can show embarrassment or apology. However, smiling back at a teacher who is unhappy with you, or a stranger whose foot you accidentally stepped upon is probably not a good idea in most English speaking cultures! Also, you should not assume that nodding your head means "yes" or that shaking your head means "no" or vice versa. Yes, you can even get that wrong, with potentially disastrous consequences. Even speakers of the same language, such as British, American, or Australian people, may not use the same body language and must adapt if they wish to communicate successfully. British people are said to be more reserved and formal, in general, and this is reflected in their body language. Americans are considered more open and outgoing, while Australians are seen as casual and relaxed. It's worth learning, understanding any underlying cultural or regional attitudes can help you learn how to understand and use body language to improve your communicative abilities. Just as you should not allow a fear of making language mistakes prevent you from speaking, you should not be overly afraid of using inappropriate body language in an unfamiliar culture. Most people will understand that people from different cultures may not always use body language in the same ways. All the same, it's definitely advisable to learn as much as possible about the body language of a new culture, and to use careful observation to avoid making any mistakes. To learn more about the topic of body language, you may like to start by looking at the fascinating research of Allan and Barbara Pease and Dr Desmond Morris. Question 5:__________ To answer it just write the corresponding letter without capital letter. In all cultures: a Shaking your head means, "no". b Nodding your head means, "yes". c Shaking your head means, "yes". d Nodding your head means, "no". e A and B f C and D g None of the above.

Directions for Questions 20-24 : Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage. MARK HUGHES is a master of the fine art of survival. His Los Angeles-based Herbalife International Inc. is a pyramid outfit that peddles weight-loss and nutrition concoctions of dubious value. Bad publicity and regulatory crackdowns hurt his U.S. business in the late 1980s. But Hughes, 41, continues to enjoy a luxurious lifestyle in a $20 million Beverly Hills mansion. He has been sharing the pad and a yacht with his third wife, a former Miss Petite U.S.A. He can finance this lavish lifestyle just on his salary and bonus, which last year came to $7.3 million. He survived his troubles in the U.S. by moving overseas, where regulators are less zealous and consumers even more naive, at least initially. Today 77% of Herbalife retail sales derive from overseas. Its new prowling grounds: Asia and Russia. Last year Herbalife’s net earnings doubled, to $45 million, on net sales of $632 million. Based on Herbalife’s Nasdaq-traded stock, the company has a market capitalization of $790 million, making Hughes 58% worth $454 million. There’s a worm, though, in Hughes apple. Foreigners aren’t stupid. In the end they know when they’ve been had. In France, for instance, retail sales rose to $97 million by 1993 and then plunged to $12 million last year. In Germany sales hit $159 million in 1994 and have since dropped to $54 million. Perhaps aware that the world may not provide an infinite supply of suckers, Hughes wanted to unload some of his shares. But in March, after Herbalife’s stock collapsed, he put off a plan to dump about a third of his holdings on the public. Contributing to Hughes’ woes, Herbalife’s chief counsel and legal attack dog, David Addis, quit in January. Before packing up, he reportedly bellowed at Hughes, “I can’t protect you anymore.” Addis, who says he wants to spend more time with his family, chuckles and claims attorney-client privilege. Trouble on the home front, too. On a recent conference call with distributors, Hughes revealed he’s divorcing his wife, Suzan, whose beaming and perky image adorns much of Herbalife’s literature. Meanwhile, in a lawsuit that’s been quietly moving through Arizona’s Superior Court, former Herbalife distributor Daniel Fallow of Sandpoint, Idaho charges that Herbalife arbitrarily withholds payment to distributors and marks up its products over seven times the cost of manufacturing. Fallow also claims Hughes wanted to use the Russian mafia to gain entry to that nation’s market. Fallow himself is no angel, but his lawsuit, which was posted on the Internet, brought out other complaints. Randy Cox of Lewiston, Idaho says Herbalife “destroyed my business” after he and his wife complained to the company that they were being cheated out of their money by higher-ups in the pyramid organization. Will Hughes survive again? Don’t count on it this time. Herbalife Inc is based in?

WRITING read the following case and write what you would have changed in order to get a different end. (write the new end too) A SOCCER TRAGEDY Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 was flying over the Andes on Friday 13 October 1972 when it crashed into peaks hidden by cloud. It was carrying the Uruguayan Stella Marris College rugby team to a match in Chile, but only 16 lived to tell the tale. The others died during the crash, in the days soon after from injuries or cold, and eight succumbed to an avalanche on the 17th day. The stranded survivors were left with no option but to eat the flesh of their dead teammates and adapt to living in the extreme conditions. The remaining men were found almost 10 weeks following the initial crash when two members went on an expedition and flagged down a passing Chilean horseman.

Read the text and answer the questions Britain before technology You might be surprised to hear that before some of the inventions that we take for granted in our everyday lives had been created, people were still able to achieve many of the things that modern technology does for us nowadays. Waking up without alarm clocks Have you ever thought about how people used to wake up in the morning before alarm clocks were invented? Well, they didn't use to wake up by magic. There was a person who used to go from house to house in the morning, knocking on the windows of the sleeping inhabitants with a wooden stick. He had a short stick for the windows on the ground floor and a longer, lighter one for the windows which were too high to reach. This person was called a knocker-upper. The job of the knocker-upper died out in the 1920s when alarm clocks became available to all members of British society. Learning the news without the modern media There wasn't always television or radio to make it possible for people to learn the latest news and in the old days quite a lot of people were unable to read and write, so not everybody could read a newspaper or a printed advertisement. Indeed, many people used to find out about what was going on in town from a person called a town crier or bellman. The town crier used to stand in a central location in the town, ring the bell that he held in his hand and announce the news to the people simply by shouting it out. Town criers still exist in some towns in Britain but, although they wear traditional costumes, they only perform their duties at special ceremonies. Keeping food cold without refrigerators Before fridges had become widely available, people used to keep iceboxes in their houses to keep food cool and fresh. These iceboxes had to be filled frequently with new ice and this was done by a person called an iceman. The iceman used to deliver ice, which had been cut into huge blocks from frozen rivers or lakes, to houses many times a week. The job of the iceman had started to disappear by the 1950s as fridges gradually replaced iceboxes in British homes. Complete the summary. Write one or two words from the text in each gap (1−10). Do not change the form of the words. How people woke up w/o alarm clocks People woke up with the help of a (1) _______________ called a (2) _______________ who used to visit houses in the morning and knock on the windows with a wooden stick.

You don’t have to think for long to realize that the world’s history would have been very different without many of these things. Most people associate spaghetti with Italy, but some experts think that spaghetti originated in China, in the form of noodles. Spaghetti has formed an essential part of Italian life for hundreds of years, and its eastern equivalent, noodles, has fed many millions of people. While the world could probably have survived without spaghetti, some of China’s other inventions have shaped and influenced empires. Without paper or printing, for example, humans wouldn’t have been able to communicate our ideas or our politics as easily or conveniently as we have done. Reading would have remained the occupation of the rich and elite, and would not have reached ordinary people in the way it did. Education would have been just for the privileged few. And it wouldn’t have been only the novels and works of fiction like the works of Shakespeare that the world would have missed. What about the educational books, the information manuals, instruction booklets, travel guides, and recipe books that help inform and teach us? Our lives are influenced by reading today in ways that no one from 500 years ago could possibly have anticipated. Without the compass, another great Chinese invention, adventurers, sailors and explorers probably wouldn’t have been able to travel around the world with such success, and wouldn’t have visited so many new and exciting countries. As a result, the empires of European countries wouldn’t have grown as rapidly as they did, and the history of North and South America would have had very different outcomes. Yes, the world’s history would have been very different without Chinese inventions. 1 Few Chinese inventions reached the West. True / False 2 Chinese inventions influenced world history.

BY THE WATER I live in a house by the water. I sit by the water ach day. I take my bag with me. In it, I pack a book and a blanket. I also carry a chair and a basket of food. I walk down my back steps and sit in the same spot along the sand. When I go out to the water in the morning, I am alone. I hear the water. I see the boats. I feel calm. It is the part of the day I like best. Later, some children come to play by the water. It is afternoon. I hear them laughing. I see them play ball. "Nestor, Nestor!" the children yell when they see me on the beach. I wave and smile. "Play ball with us, Nestor!" the children shout. "No, thanks," I say. "I am too old to play ball. I walk with a cane and my hands are no longer good at catching." I try to read my book, but it is hard with all the noise. I watch mothers and fathers fish along the shore. I am happy. I hear the water. I see the boats. I eat my lunch. Later, the sky gets dark. I gather all of my things and go back to the house. I get in bed. I hear the water through my open window. The sound puts me to sleep. Which of the following things does the narrator bring with him to the water? I. food II. a blanket III. a fishing pole
HOT DOG EATING CHAMPION RETAINS TITLE AFTER TIEBREAKER Joey ChestnutFor the second year in a row, American competitive eater Joey Chestnut defeated his Japanese rival Takeru Kobayashi at the annual Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest in New York City, after a tie forced a five-hot-dog eat-off to be held. After ten minutes of hot dog eating, two shorter than in previous years, Chestnut and Kobayashi were tied at 59 frankfurters. But after the rare tiebreaker, 24-year-old Chestnut emerged as the winner, claiming a $10,000 prize and a mustard-yellow belt. "It was crazy," he said. "I'm just a normal guy eating hot dogs on the Fourth. You can't overcomplicate it." Kobayashi, whose loss last year shattered a six-year winning streak, said that a sore jaw and a tooth problem may have altered his performance. "If I put one more mouthful in, I could have won", the 30-year-old Nagano native said through a translator. "I lost because I wasn't quick enough in the rematch." This year, the 22 competitors were under a 10-minute time limit, unlike the 12 minutes used for previous contests. The reason for this, according to Nathan's, was the discovery of a document from 1916, which revealed that the original competition was 10 minutes long. Thousands gathered at Coney Island to watch the annual event, which has become one of the more colorful traditions of America's Independence Day. Who won the contest two years ago and in the five years before that?

LEARNING ENGLISH Today, millions of people want to learn or improve their English but it is difficult to find the best method. Is it better to study in Britain or America or to study in your own country? The advantages of going to Britain seem obvious. Firstly, you will be able to listen to the language all the time you are in the country. You will be surrounded completely by the language wherever you go. Another advantage is that you have to speak the language if you are with other people. In Italy, it is always possible, in the class, to speak Italian if you want to and the learning is slower. On the other hand, there are also advantages to staying at home to study. You don't have to make big changes to your life. As well as this, it is also a lot cheaper than going to Britain but it is never possible to achieve the results of living in the UK. If you have a good teacher in Italy, I think you can learn in a more concentrated way than being in Britain without going to a school. So, in conclusion, I think that if you have enough time and enough money, the best choice is to spend some time in the UK. This is simply not possible for most people, so being here in Italy is the only viable option. The most important thing to do in this situation is to maximise your opportunities: to speak only English in class and to try to use English whenever possible outside the class. What is one of the advantages of staying in your country to learn English?

Strange laws Each country has a set of laws to keep people safe and to prevent crime. For example, each country states which side of the road you have to drive on. In the USA, you drive on the right, and in Australia you drive on the left. It would be crazy if in any country you could drive on both sides of the road. There would be thousands of accidents! However, in many countries there are also a lot of laws that seem a little strange and don’t make sense. For example, in Utah in the USA, you can’t hunt whales. But the police shouldn’t worry too much, as Utah is more than 800 kilometers from the ocean! Who created this law and why? Some of the funniest laws are to do with driving. In Denmark, you can’t start your car if a child is underneath it. So, you should always look under your car and check before you drive. If you’re a pedestrian in Beijing, then you had better be very careful because it’s illegal for drivers to stop for pedestrians who are crossing the street. But the funniest law to do with driving is in Alaska. In Alaska, it’s illegal to drive with a dog tied to the roof of your car! This must be the craziest law in the world! In Thailand, you can’t step on money – it’s illegal. So, if you see money on the ground, you have to walk around it. I don’t know if you’re allowed to pick it up and put it in your pocket! In Switzerland you can’t flush your toilet after 10 p.m. because it is too noisy. But in Singapore, you must always flush the toilet after you use it, even if it’s late at night, and you can be fined $500 if you don’t. So people who travel a lot should be very careful to remember which country they are in. If you see money on the ground in Thailand, you have to take it to the police.
