III. Read the text and question below. For each question, choose the letter of the
correct answer (A, B, C or D).
Helen Skelton
Television presenter Helen Skelton has completed various dangerous challenges for
charity, including a desert marathon run and a journey down the Amazon River in a
tiny boat.
For her latest challenge, Helen walked on a high wire, a long thin piece of metal, 66
metres above the ground, between the two towers of an empty power station. There
was no safety net, only a belt around her waist attached to another wire above. To help
her keep her balance and not to fall, she carried a long stick, weighing eight kilograms.
Helen took lessons from an expert high-wire walker. Although she already had a few
circus skills, she quickly discovered that high-wire walking was completely different.
‘The training was a shock', said Helen. ‘I didn’t realize how strong I’d need to be.
Every day started at 8 am with a run up a steep hill; then came an hour of exercises,
with another hour of them after my day practicing on the wire.
I also had to learn how to fall onto the wire so that if I slipped, I could carry on. Every
time I fell on the wire it hurt badly. But it was essential to keep a positive attitude: if I
was nervous and started shaking, so would the wire!’
The day of the actual challenge was windy, and Helen controlled herself by taking
deep breaths as she moved step by step along the wire. The 150-metre walk took 15
minutes. ‘That was the scariest thing I’ve done,’ she admitted afterwards. Im glad it’s
over!’
The experience has not prevented Helen, however, from planning her next charity
project: to reach the South Pole by ski, kite and bike.
16. What is the writer doing in this text?
6
A. introducing a new television presenter.
B. getting support for a charity project.
C. describing a woman's achievement.
D. recommending a television programme.
17. Helen knew she would be safe if she fell because
A. she had a net that could catch her.
B. she had a stick to support herself with.
C. she was wearing special equipment.
D. she was quite close to the ground.
18. During her training, Helen was surprised to find that
A. staying on the wire was so difficult.
B. she had to work so hard at her fitness.
C. it was so important to be confident.
D. her circus skills were so useful.
19. When Helen performed her work on the high wire
A. she was sorry to get to the end.
B. the weather conditions were perfect.
C. it took less time than expected.
D. she managed to keep herself calm.
20. What might Helen say about the walk?

A. The view from the high wire B. I must admit I was a little bit
was fantastic – I loved every frightened, but it wasn’t nearly
minute of it. I can’t wait to as bad as going down the
have another go. Amazon on my own.

C. That was the longest quarter of D. The training could be painful at


an hour of my life. I couldn’t times but at least I’m in really
breathe at all when I first good condition now, ready for
