READING COMPREHENSION
P = presenter, D = David McLain
P: No one knows exactly the reason why some people live longer than others. Why are they so
healthy? Is it their diet? Do they go to the gym more than other people? Well, one man is trying
to answer these questions and that man is photographer David McLain. He’s currently travelling
to different places around the world with large numbers of people aged a hundred and over and
asking the question: Why are they so healthy? At the moment he’s working on the island of
Sardinia in Italy and he’s speaking to us right now on the phone. David, thank you for joining
us today.
D: Hello.
P: So, first of all, tell us why you decided to visit Sardinia.
D: Well, Sardinia is an interesting place because men live to the same age as women. That isn’t
normal for most countries. Men normally die younger.
P: And does anyone know the reason why people live longer in Sardinia?
D: There are different ideas about this. One explanation is that the family is so important here.
Every Sunday the whole family eats a big meal together. Research shows that in countries where
people live longer, the family is important.
P: I see. So, do you think people live longer in traditional societies?
D: That’s an interesting question. Sardinia is quite a traditional place but, even here, the younger
generation are eating more food like chips and burgers. Also, young people are moving to the
city, so they are doing less exercise because of their lifestyle. It’ll be interesting to see what
happens in Sardinia in the next twenty or thirty years.

My name’s Vic and I live in the state of Tennessee. During the week I work in a bank. I like my
job, but most of the time I’m sitting at a desk, so I need to get exercise after work and at the
weekends. Most people go running or play sports, but I like caving. My colleagues think I’m a bit
crazy because they say it’s dangerous. It’s true that sometimes you have to take a risk when you go
caving, but I always go with other cavers and we look after each other. It’s important to work as a
team when you go down into a new cave because every cave gives you a different challenge.
The most difficult cave was called Rumbling Falls Cave. You have to use a rope and climb down a
hole that’s about twenty metres into the ground. At the bottom, you are on your hands and knees for
nearly a kilometre, so you need to be physically fit. Then at the end, you come into the main part of
the cave. It’s an incredible place, like a huge room. Getting to Rumbling Falls cave was probably
my biggest achievement as a caver.

P=Presenter, D=David McLain

P: No one knows exactly the reason why some people live longer than others. Why are they so healthy?
Is it their diet? Do they go to the gym more than others? Well, one man is trying to answer these
questions and that man is explorer and journalist David McLain. He’s currently travelling to places and
regions with large numbers of people aged a hundred and over and asking the questions: Why are they
so healthy? What are they doing that the rest of us aren’t? At the moment, he’s working on the Island of
Sardinia in Italy, but he’s speaking to us right now on the phone. David, thank you for joining us today.
D: Hello.
P: So, first of all, tell us why you decided to visit Sardinia.
D: Well, Sardinia is an interesting place because men live the same amount of time as women. That isn’t
normal for most countries. Men normally die younger.
P: And does anyone know the reason why people live longer in Sardinia?
D: There are different ideas about this but possibly one explanation is that the family is so important
here. Every Sunday the whole family meets and they eat a huge meal together. Research shows that in
countries where people live longer, the family is important. But also on Sardinia, the older mother or
grandmother often has authority in the family. As men get older, they have less responsibility in
Sardinian culture. So, perhaps the older men have less stress, which means they’re living longer.
P: I see. So, do you think people live longer in traditional societies?
D: That’s an interesting question. It’s true that even on Sardinia the younger generation are eating more
food like chips and burgers. Also young people are moving to the city, so they are doing less exercise
because of their lifestyle. So, it will be interesting to come back to Sardinia in twenty years and see if
people are still living longer...

Documentary 1
On a beautiful summer morning in Thailand, guests are arriving for a wedding. Some are arriving
in cars but the most special guests are riding, in traditional style, on the backs of elephants. Elephants
are as heavy as cars but they aren’t as fast, and most people also think elephants aren’t as
comfortable as cars. However, in Thailand these animals have great importance. The Asian elephant
became a domestic animal 5,000 years ago. In the past they transported soldiers to wars and worked
in the forests pulling up trees and carrying wood. Nowadays, it’s more common to see them
transporting tourists and people on special occasions, but they are as important as ever in Thai
society.
Documentary 2
Lester Courtney and his wife spend a lot of time with their horses, not for leisure but for work. They
are traditional tree loggers who cut trees in traditional ways. They also transport the trees
traditionally – with horses. Once the trees are down, Dan and Maddy pull them away. They’re
Lester’s two horses. Lester has always used horses. Horses aren’t the fastest form of transportation
but Lester doesn’t believe modern machines are as good. It’s true that horses aren’t as strong as
lorries, or as fast, but Lester prefers working with animals. For one thing a horse isn’t as heavy as
modern machinery so it doesn’t damage the old forests. Lester also prefers horses because horses
aren’t as noisy.

I = Interviewer, W = Sandy Weisz

I: Normally we only hear bad news so it’s good to have some good news from time to time. For
example, did you hear in the news about Maria Garza? She was sitting on an aeroplane in Denver
airport with her one-year-old child when she saw a fire from the window. It was coming from one
of the engines. Did you read that? No? It was amazing. While the other passengers were running
to the exits, Maria climbed out of the window and onto the wing of the plane. She saved her
daughter’s life and she was pregnant at the time! So, in fact she saved three lives.
In today’s programme we’re talking about why some people are survivors. We want to know what
makes these people so special. For example, what are their personal qualities? Here to help us
answer that question is Doctor Sandy Weisz. Sandy is a doctor of psychology and an expert in
survival skills. So Sandy, what kind of person is a survivor?
W: Well, the story of Maria Garza is a good one because she showed a personal quality that all
survivors have.
I: Which is?
W: They are always decisive. They always think and move very quickly and so she saved three
lives. It’s an important quality in a difficult situation. Another important quality they need is
determination. For example, did you read about thirteen-year-old Bethany Hamilton? She showed
real determination. One day when she was surfing a shark attacked her and she lost an arm. It was
an incredible story. With one arm, she swam back to the beach.
I: Incredible, and there was another recent similar story …err that couple…the Carlsons.
W: Sorry, what were they doing?
I: They were sailing their boat when a wave hit them. The boat sank and they were at sea for thirty-
one days.
 63 
W: Oh yes, I remember that story. But they were experienced with boats so skill and knowledge
probably saved them more than anything else.
I: Right. So, what if I don’t have special personal qualities or skills? Is there anything I can do?
W: Yes, there is. Most survivors don’t normally take risks.
I: What do you mean?
W: Well, on an aeroplane, the survivors usually wear seat belts. At sea, you take extra food and
water. On a mountain, a climber always wears warm clothes…
I: Right. I suppose we normally think survivors are risk takers but in fact most of them are quite
careful.
W: Exactly. We all take risks—even when we walk across the road—but most survivors don’t take
unnecessary risks.

Nowadays, every household produces electronic rubbish (or e-rubbish) - an old TV or computer
printer, or an out-of-date mobile phone we no longer need but when we throw these everyday items
away, not many of us know where these objects go. The journalist and photographer, Peter Essick,
decided to follow this e-rubbish to several difterent countries around the world.
In particular, Essick found a lot of e-rubbish goes to Ghana. There, he saw mountains of old
computers in the local markets The sellers resell some of them but not much equipment works.
Instead, they recycle the broken computers by melting the parts inside. These parts contain a little
metal such as copper or even gold sometimes. However, this process recycling is dangerous for the
workers because it produces a lot of toxic chemicals.
As a result of his journey. Peter Essick thinks it's important to stop exporting e-rubbish. It is bad for
the environment and it is bad for people's health. Instead, he belleves manufacturers need to produce
more eco- friendly electronics in the future. in other words, electronic products which you can
recycle cheaply, safely and in the country where they were made

Langston Hughes was one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century. He was born
in Joplin, Missouri, and moved to Cleveland at the age of fourteen. Several years later he spent one
year in Mexico before attending Columbia University in New York. For a few 5 years after that he
roamed the world as a seaman, visiting ports around the world and writing some poetry. He returned
to the United States and attended Lincoln University, where he won the Witter Bynner Prize for
undergraduate poetry. After graduating in 1928, he traveled to Spain and to Russia with the help of
a Guggenheim fellowship.
His novels include Not Without Laughter (1930) and The Big Sea (1940). He wrote an
autobiography in 1956 and also published several collections of poetry. The collections include The
Weary Blues (1926), The Dream Keeper (1932), Shakespeare in Harlem (1942), Fields of Wonder
(1947), One Way 15 Ticket (1947), and Selected Poems (1959).
A man of many talents, Hughes was also a lyricist, librettist, and a journalist. As an older man in
the 1960s he spent much of his time collecting poems from Africa and from African-Americans to
popularize black writers. Hughes is one of the most accomplished writers in American 20 literary
history, and he is seen as one of the artistic leaders of the Harlem Renaissance, the period when a

art forms depicting daily city life for African-Americans.

Dear Mum and Dad,

I'm writing this email because I've got some important news to tell you. I'm getting married! Isn't
that great?
It all happened last night. We were having dinner in a very nice Italian restaurant when Jake
suddenly became all quiet and said he had something to tell me. He looked so serious that I was
afraid he was going to break up with me or tell me he had a terrible illness, but then he took a little
black box out of his pocket and put it in front of me. I opened it and inside was an engagement ring
and he just said, 'Will you marry me?' I was so excited that I didn't even stop to think about it and
replied, 'Yes, of course I will, silly!' And I put the ring on my finger. So there we were, engaged!
Then we spent the rest of the evening making plans. Can we have the wedding at your house? You've
got such a big, beautiful garden that it'll be perfect. We are going to wait until after my final exams
in June and I thought a good day would be 10th July. That gives us eight months to plan everything.
It should be enough time, especially as we don't want a big traditional white wedding - just a big
party with our best friends and family. We're not going to start a family straight away because I
need to get my career going, and I might even decide to stay on at university and do a master's, but
before we do that, we're going to travel round the world for a year. Jake can take a career break for
that time; his office have already said it's OK. It's so exciting!
Anyway, I have to get to class now. I'll phone you tomorrow.
Your loving daughter,
Lucy
44. Lucy ____.

Welcome to the Baggleton! This guide will help you find your way around the town. If you are
reading this, you are probably staying in one of our fine hotels: either in the historic city centre or
by the sea. Although our town is a small one, we have one of the best transport systems in the
country and wherever you want to go, you will find a method of transport that suits you.
To go to the wonderful sandy beach at Longshore, you can take the metro. There are two stops: get
off at Port station if you want to have lunch or dinner at one of our famous fish restaurants
overlooking the old port. After dinner, you can walk along the beach and get on the metro again at
the next stop, which is called Sandygate. From Port station it’s a five-minute walk to the restaurants
and it takes about fifteen minutes to walk along to the other end of the beach to Sandygate station.
For those of you who prefer the bus, or for those who don’t like walking, the number 3 bus runs
along the length of the beach with five stops between Port and Sandygate. From the end of the
beach, the bus then goes into the town centre, which is a pleasant one-hour ride. Alternatively, take
the metro from Sandygate and get off at Mullet station, which takes only 40 minutes. During rush
hour it can take longer if you drive your own car.
You can buy tickets from your hotel, from any shop or restaurant or from special ticket machines.
Single tickets cost one euro each, return tickets are one euro seventy cents and for those of you
planning to use public transport a lot, a seven-day ticket costs eight euros and gives you unlimited
travel on all the buses, trains and of course on the metro too. Many of our office workers who live
by the sea take advantage of the weekly ticket. The metro is open from six o’clock in the morning
until midnight, but the buses run all night long.
49. Who was the guide written for?

(A) commuters (B) tourists (C) pedestrians (D) taxi drivers
50. Which metro station is nearest to the restaurants?
(A) Port (B) Sandygate (C) Mullet (D) None of them
51. Which is the best type of transport for people who want to get off half-way along the beach?
(A) walking (B) metro (C) taxi (D) bus
52. What's the cheapest type of ticket for commuters?
(A) a return ticket (C) a one-way ticket
(B) a single ticket (D) a seven-day ticket
53. Which is the fastest way to get from the beach to the town centre?
(A) bus (B) car (C) metro (D) train
