travel a lot for competitions, and I‟ve made friends with swimmers from other Australian cities
and from other parts of the world …”

Jan Griffith lives in north-east Australia. One day she and her husband Dave went sailing, taking their

Sadly, during a storm, Sophie fell off the boat and into the water. Jan and Dave went back to look for
her, but without any luck. Jan was sure that she was dead.

In fact, without anyone knowing, Sophie swam to an island ten kilometres away. Very few people live
there and when the islanders first saw Sophie running around, she looked thin and hungry. Four months
later Sophie was seen by the islanders again. She looked fatter and healthier. This was when they called
the police, who came to take her back to north-east Australia.

The Griffith family heard that the police were bringing a dog back from the island. ‘I was sure it wasn't
Sophie,' said Jan 'but we decided to meet the boat anyway. When it arrived, I saw her and called her
name. She got really excited and ran over to us immediately. I have no idea what she ate for four
months on the island. She’s quite happy back at home with us now, but we certainly won’t take her
sailing again!'

 INTELLIGENCE PILLS
Some scientists have predicted that healthy adults and children may one day take drugs to
improve their intelligence and intellectual performance. A research group has suggested that
such drugs might become as common as coffee or tea within the next couple of decades.
To counter this, students taking exams might have to take drugs tests like athletes. There are
already drugs that are known to improve mental performance, like Ritalin, which is given to
children with problems concentrating. A drug given to people with trouble sleeping also helps
people remember numbers.
These drugs raise serious legal and moral questions, but people already take vitamins to help
them remember things better, so it will not be a simple problem to solve. It will probably be very
difficult to decide at what point a food supplement becomes an unfair drug in an examination.

Read the article about two Canadian boys. Are sentences 21-27 “Right” (A), “Wrong” (B),
or “Doesn’t say” (C). Choose and circle A, B or C for your answers.

A great idea!
Frazer and Peter are two 14-year-old boys who grew up in the same small Canadian town. They
have always been friends and classmates. Like all their other friends, they enjoy going fishing or
swimming at weekends. But for the last few months, they've spent every weekend in Peter's
room working on his laptop. This isn't because they have a lot of homework. They have made a
new computer word game.

The idea for the game came from Frazer's little brother, Kevin, who had problems with his
reading. Kevin learns words more easily by seeing pictures and hearing information than he does
by reading. His brother wanted to help. Frazer and Peter worked together for over 200 hours to
make a computer game and now it's ready to use. It's a speaking and picture game. For example,
if you look at the word 'hat', there's a drawing of a hat next to it and you can hear Peter saying
'Hat! Hat!' at the same time.

The two boys have won a lot of prizes for their computer game and it will soon be on sale around
the world. Many schools are interested in buying it.

WORLD TRAVELLER
Nick Barlow loves his work. He‟s a British actor and he travels around the world making
TV programmes. „People welcome me everywhere I go and when I get home, I remember all the
wonderful things that happened in each country.‟ Nick has travelled to many places but there are
a few trips that he would still like to make. „I‟d love to visit South America and go back to
Australia one day,‟ he says.
On each trip, Nick travels with a team of people. They bring the cameras and other
filming equipment needed to make the programme. Nick doesn‟t take a lot of things for himself,
just a few shirts and trousers, but he always makes sure he has some books in his suitcase.
Nick‟s wife, Helen, doesn‟t mind him travelling for his work. She has a lot of friends and
keeps busy. When he gets back, she likes to listen to all his travel stories. But sometimes there
are problems. When he was in the Malaysian rain forest, Nick heard that his wife was ill in
hospital. „I felt terrible because I couldn‟t help, but she didn‟t want me to come home. I was so
happy when I heard she was better.‟

sentences 21-27 “Right” (A), “Wrong” (B), or “Doesn’t say” (C). Choose A, B or C for your
answers.

BOLLYWOOD
'Bollywood', which is the name of the film industry in Mumbai, India, makes almost 1,000 films
a year. Since making its first film in 1913, Bollywood has made over 29,000 films. This is a
much higher number than the USA and means it is the biggest film industry in the world. Most
Indians like watching films better than any other free-time activity and ten million of them go to
the cinema every day. Bollywood films tell romantic love stories, and singing and dancing are an
important part of every film. Indian films are also enjoyed outside India. Last year, Bollywood
made over $500 million by selling its films to other countries.

Indian actors make more films each year than American actors in Hollywood, but they are not
paid as much. This is why most Bollywood films only cost about $2 million to make. A
Hollywood film is never made for under $5 million.

Most Bollywood actors are young. They work hard but only for a few years. Amitabh Bachchan,
who some people say is India's greatest actor, is different. He has been the star of more than 140
films during an acting career of almost 40 years.
