Part 5:
Read the text and use no more than three words and/or a number to answer each of the following
questions.
What’s in a name?
Last year, as I was travelling through Australia, I often stopped at places with strange or unusual
names: names like Murwillumbah and Waterloo. I often asked myself, ‘Where do all these names come
from? And what can we learn from them?’ Local people sometimes knew the answer and sometimes they
didn’t, so I decided to look at these place names more closely and found out some interesting facts.
Many place names give us a clue because they describe physical characteristics, like ‘big hill’, ‘dry
desert’, or ‘tall tree’. Thousands of years ago, this is how the first Australians - the Aborigines - named
places. Today, in Australia, there are thousands of places with Aboriginal names, towns like Murwillumbah
(good campsite), Nambucca (entrance to the sea), Bondi Beach from the world ‘Boondi’ (the sound of water
falling over rocks) and Uluru (big rock).
The Europeans had different ideas. When they first arrived in 1606, they wanted to make this strange
new land feel like home. How did they do it? Well, they borrowed names from the country they came from -
it showed that these places belonged to them. French and Dutch place names like Bougainville and Arnhem
Land started to appear along the Australian coast. Then, in 1770, the English explorer Captain Cook arrived
in Botany Bay. Soon, there was Melbourne, a town named after a British Prime Minister, and Waterloo,
named after a famous battle between England and France.

Part 5:
questions.
Strange buildings
The Shoe House
Along the Lincoln Highway, near a small town in the state of Pennsylvania, you can see one of the
strangest, funniest, most unusual buildings in the US. It’s the Shoe House. It looks exactly like a gigantic
shoe, but, at almost eight metres high, it’s a lot bigger than any ordinary shoe or boot! These days, it’s a
museum and ice-cream shop but, unbelievably, it was once someone’s home.
Unsurprisingly, perhaps, a boot and shoe manufacturer built the house in 1948 because he wanted a
home that was also an advertisement for his business. He gave one of his boots to a local architect and said,
‘Build me a house like this!’ Fortunately, the architect knew exactly what to do, and designed a five-storey,
three-bedroomed house. At first, the owner decided to make a home in his wonderful new building, but then
he moved into another house - it wasn’t comfortable or luxurious enough for a successful businessman!
After he left, he invited old people to stay in the house for luxury weekends. The people had a maid, a
cook, and a driver to look after them! And everyone got a free pair of shoes when they left!
The Toilet-shaped House
6
This is the weirdest house in South Korea. In 2007, the mayor of the city of Suwon decided to
construct a two-storey mansion which looked exactly like an enormous toilet. And naturally there is a big
hole in the top! It cost over a million dollars to build and is one of the most expensive homes in the city. It is
also one of the best for the environment as the house has some of the world’s best technology for saving
water. It also has a roof-top balcony, and, of course, it has four of the most elegant bathrooms you can
imagine, including a large, glass-walled bathroom right at the centre of the house.
The mayor didn’t build the house to show off. He had a political reason for spending all that money
on something so strange. The first important meeting of the World Toilet Association (or WTA. took place at
the house, and both the mayor and the WTA wanted to bring attention to the fact that two billion people in
the world don’t have a toilet. Building a huge toilet in the shape of a house is a great way of doing that!
Following the death of the mayor, the house is now a museum and it teaches people about the history
of toilets. And, if you think that’s funny, wait until you hear the name of the house. In Korean, it’s called
Haewoojae. In English, that means ‘a peaceful place where you don’t have to worry about things’. Isn’t that
the perfect name for a house - and a toilet?!

questions.
India
Everybody knows that India is a huge country with an enormous population (there are around 1.2
billion people in India! They also know that it has noisy, crowded cities, hot, spicy food, and some
wonderful, historical sites, such as the Taj Mahal, a beautiful, white palace which a sultan built because he
wanted to remember his wife, a princess who died when she still a young woman.
There are, however, lots of surprising things about India, too. I’ve just returned from my first trip to
the country, and in this blog, I want to write about some of the things I found out. Did you know, for
example, that India is a great place to go if you love music festivals? And I don't mean traditional music.
More than half of India’s population is under twenty-five and they love pop and rock music. That’s why there
are so many festivals, a few of which take place in unusual locations such as in deserts or on the sides of
mountains. Major Indian cities are becoming popular places for international stars to play, and there is so
much local musical talent that there is always a live concert on somewhere.
I was also amazed to find out that there are between one and two thousand ‘marriage detectives’ in
the country. A lot of marriages are arranged by families in India, and it’s important to them to find out as
much as they can about the person who their son or daughter is going to marry, so sometimes families hire a
detective who checks that their son or daughter’s future husband or wife is telling the truth about their family,
their job and how much money they have.
Indians also have a surprising view of beauty. One of my Indian friends told me that I had put on
weight when I met her for coffee on my second day in the country. I was surprised, but she wasn’t being
rude. In India, people think that gaining weight is a sign of looking healthy and more beautiful. In fact, if you
are very slim, Indian people worry about you! I think it’s good that Indians aren’t always worried about being
thin, like many Europeans are. However, these days, a lot of young people are overweight because people
there are really keen on fast food.
In India, it seems as if everyone reads newspapers. In Europe, young people prefer going online to
find out about the world. In India, however, the opposite is true. More and more people are learning to read
9
and they are then getting well-paid jobs which mean they can afford to buy newspapers. As a result,
newspapers have never been more popular. I was really surprised! In my next blog, I’ll share more
fascinating facts about India. What do you know about the country?
1. What color is the Taj Mahal?
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
2. Who did Sultan want to remember?
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

questions.
Eyewitness account: Scott’s Hut
Brita Harding is a scientist and she's been in Antarctica for five weeks. She is working in a small
building called Scott's Hut and helping to preserve it. The British explorer Captain Robert Scott used the but
as a base camp in 1911.
The Antarctic is the driest, coldest and windiest continent in the world. It's dark for six months of the
year and not many animals live here, apart from penguins. There are no native people like the Inuits, and
tourists never stop off to explore. Its easy to understand why. It isn't the best place to live and work and it's
freezing at the moment -we've had temperatures of -73°C since Monday!
Every day, I go down to Ross Island and work in Scott's Hut with other scientists. Inside there are
books, wooden skis, biscuits, penguins' eggs and many other interesting things. All these things have been
here for a hundred years and they're completely frozen. That's why we want to save the hut - it brings Scott's
expedition to life!
The race to the South Pole is a famous story. Captain Scott and a Norwegian explorer called Roald
Amundsen both wanted to get there first. They both prepared for many months, but in the end their
expeditions were very different: Amundsen used dogs to pull his sleds and Scott used motorized sleds and
horses. Amundsen had good weather during his expedition, but Scott had bad weather. When Scott's team set
out from the but on 1 November 1911, there were terrible snow storms and the sleds broke down. After a few
weeks, the horses died and most of his team turned back. In the end, only five men carried on to the South
Pole: Scott, Oates, Evans, Bowers and Wilson.

questions.
The importance of pets
When they were asked, six million people in Britain said they own a pet cat. That's strange, as only
four million cats are known to be living in Britain! Perhaps some cats have more than one owner. What's
clear however, is that cats are popular with people in Britain.
Doctors have known for some time that a link exists between animals and human health. In a special
report, they express the importance of pets to people in Britain. They say that pet owners are less likely to
have a heart attack than people who do not own a pet. Also, people who do not keep a pet have a 20 per cent
greater chance of having a weak heart than those who do. This is especially true of people who live alone.
Although the favourite pets in Britain are cats and dogs, doctors think that all pets are good for
people's health, even pet goldfish! What is the reason for this? Doctors believe that people need to have
someone or something to care for and take care of. Then they don't think about themselves so much. They
forget their own problems and thus feel better.
Animals are known to have a good effect on hospital patients too. In one hospital, several animals
were brought to be with some cancer patients. These patients had been given drugs but had not got better.
However, after a few days with the animals, they showed signs of improving. A few even recovered
completely!

Part 5:
questions.
To toot, to cut the cheese, or to fart are all funny ways to talk about something that everyone does:
passing gas! A normal person passes about half a liter of gas a day, which equals about 14 farts per day. Lots
of people are embarrassed by passing gas, but there is no need to feel this way. The first step is to admit that
everyone does it. After you face up to this fact, then you can really enjoy learning some interesting facts
about your gas.
There are several sources of gas. Gas in our intestines has to do with both the air we swallow and the
gas molecules in our blood. In addition, gas is also produced from chemical reactions and bacteria living in
our intestines. Nervous people usually have more gas for two reasons. They swallow more air when they get
nervous, and food usually goes through their digestive systems faster, which means that the oxygen in the
food cannot be absorbed quickly enough. Therefore, the oxygen naturally found in the food goes into the
intestines and becomes gas.
Another interesting fact is that a person’s diet affects the stinkiness of his or her 15 gas. Foods with a
lot of sulfur in them--such as eggs, meat, and cauliflower - cause stinkier gas. On the other hand, beans cause
a lot of gas, but this gas isn’t usually stinky because beans aren’t high in sulfur. However, they do contain a
lot of sugars that bacteria in the intestines love. The bacteria eat the sugars and produce gas. Finally, people
wonder, “Where does gas go when you hold it in? Is this held gas harmful?” Well, this gas will not poison
you, but you may get a bad stomachache from the pressure. The gas that you hold in is neither released nor
absorbed. It moves back up into the intestines and sooner or later comes out. It is not lost, just delayed. Now
that you know some facts about gas, be proud of yourself and say, “Yes, I cut the cheese!”

questions.
The man who climbed Everest
These days, climbing up to the top of Mount Everest, the world’s highest mountain, has become so
popular that it is often crowded with teams of climbers. Fifty years ago, only a few people had reached its
summit. Nowadays, more than a hundred people a year do the climb up Mount Everest. However, in 2006,
one of the many people who reached the top was different. His name was Mark Inglis, he came from New
Zealand, and his successful climb was unusual because Mark doesn’t have any legs.
If you know anything about the history of climbing Mount Everest, you’ll know that Mark wasn’t the
first New Zealander to reach the summit. In 1953, Edmund Hillary was not only the first New Zealander to
climb the world’s highest mountain, but also one of the first two men on earth to do so. He reached the
21
summit along with his climbing partner, a Nepalese mountain climber called Tenzing Norgay. However,
Mark’s achievement was a first for someone with his disability. Other disabled climbers, including a blind
American man and a Nepalese man with no hands, had succeeded in climbing Everest before Mark, but what
Mark managed to do was perhaps more incredible. He wore artificial legs during the climb, which had been
made especially for him, but the strength and effort he needed to achieve his goal was amazing.
After the climb, Mark told reporters that he had decided to go up Everest because he was a mountain
climber and had always dreamed of climbing Everest, and not because he wanted to set records as a disabled
person. He had lost his legs when he was in his twenties. At the time, he was working as a mountain rescue
worker and during a climb, bad weather meant that he and a friend had to find shelter in an ice cave. When
they were rescued, two weeks later, their legs had frozen and doctors had had to cut them off. Despite this
personal disaster, Mark continued to love climbing, and never stopped dreaming about reaching the top of
Everest one day.
As well as achieving a personal goal, Mark climbed Everest to raise money to help other people. On
his website, he says that you don’t see many disabled people in Tibet, one of the countries where Mount
Everest is situated, because life is hard there, and there is very little support for people with disabilities. By
raising money, he hoped to be able to provide artificial arms and legs for disabled Tibetan people, as well as
for people who had lost arms and legs in other poor countries, such as Cambodia. Mark’s successful climb
was both an important personal achievement and an act that helped give other people hope and support.

My favorite movies
By Sean Heston
I’ve always (0). loved scary movies. I remember the first one I watched very clearly. My dad’s
favourite films were his DVD collection of old black and white thrillers. One day while my parents were out,
I decided to watch one of these DVDs on my laptop.
The quality wasn’t great because the screen was very small and I wasn’t used to watching black and
white films. I felt guilty because I hadn’t asked my parents’ (1)……………to watch the film, but excited at
the same time. I was also (2)……………in case it would be too frightening. Luckily it wasn’t. It was only a
little scary and I thought it was brilliant.
After that, from the age of 14-18, I watched all kinds of scary movies with my friends. Films about
sharks, monsters, vampires and ghosts; we loved them all. Sometimes I was so scared I couldn’t even look at
the screen and spent most of the time with a (3)………… over my face. I became too nervous to swim in the
sea and imagined all kinds of (4)……………hiding in the dark outside my bedroom window.
Since that time, I’ve watched all these films again and again. I still think they’re terrific and they still
make me (5)……………. But I’ve never been able to explain this strange attraction to fear. How can being
frightened be a form of entertainment for so many people? Is it a way of learning to deal with fear or is it just
a way to (6)……………from boring reality? I have no idea. But what I do know is that I can’t live without
the excitement of scary movies.

questions.
Singing in the rain
25
You wake up in the morning and there’s snow on the ground, but on the walk to school the sun comes
out and it feels like summer. You go outside at lunchtime because it’s still sunny, but you get caught in a
thunderstorm. On your way home, it’s so hot that you have to take off your jumper. Does it sound familiar? If
it does, then you probably live in the UK.
The weather in the UK is unpredictable, and this is partly because of the location of the British Isles.
Cold polar air from the north and warmer air from the Tropics, brought by the Gulf Stream, push against each
other to create the UK's changeable weather patterns.
This means that weather forecasting in the UK is a difficult job, and the people who do it can have
embarrassing moments. For example, in 1987, weather forecasters missed a huge storm that was coming
towards the UK. There was no mention of the storm during the daytime weather forecast, but later that night,
a place called Sevenoaks near London lost six of its seven famous oak trees when the strong wind blew them
down.
These days, UK weather forecasters usually know about extreme weather that is about to hit the
country, and they also try not to make unrealistic predictions about the weather. For example, they don’t say
that there’s going to be a ‘barbecue summer’ (a very hot summer when people can cook outside all the time)
or a freezing winter, because usually the opposite happens. They now only forecast a maximum of five days,
and people don’t even trust that - they check regularly to see if a forecast is still correct.
You may think that living with this sort of weather every day makes people unhappy, but actually it
has an unexpected effect on a lot of people in the UK. They tend to get more excited by sunshine than most
people. They are likely to change into summer clothes whenever they see the sun, whether it is August or
December. They don’t mind the rain and they’re always prepared for it, with their waterproof coats, boots
and umbrellas ready by the front door. They also know how to have a good time despite the weather. Rainy
summers are so common that people try not to let the weather spoil their fun. In fact, for some people,
particularly young children, the rain can be fun, and you may even find them singing in the rain!

Part 5:
questions.
What makes a song become a popular hit? Do you think hit songs are popular because they are great
songs? If so, you need to think again. Researchers say that hit songs become popular because listeners care
about what other people think. For most listeners, the quality of the song is not as important.
A recent online study looked at how we choose our music. It showed that a song’s popularity
influences our choices. In other words, we like to listen to the music that our peers enjoy. In the study,
researchers gave a list of 48 unknown songs to 14000 teenagers. The students listened to some of the songs
29
and rated them. Participants gave one star to the songs that they didn’t like. They gave five stars to songs that
they like very much.
The researchers divided the participants into two groups. The first group saw only the song title and
the name of the band. They rated songs because the name of the song or the name of the band looked
interesting. After listening to the song, participants rated it with stars.
The second group of teenagers received extra information. This group could also see the number of
downloads for each song. The songs with many downloads looked like they were very popular. The teenagers
thought that these songs were favorites with their peers. However, the researchers made up the number of
downloads for each song. The songs showing the most downloads weren’t really popular. In fact, these songs
weren’t very good, according to music experts.
Participants in the second group usually gave the most stars to the songs with the most downloads.
They thought these songs were popular with their peers. They were not interested in the quality of the song.
They just wanted to listen to the songs that their peers liked.
So why did participants give the most stars to the songs that seemed popular? of the authors of the
study, Matthew Salganik, a researcher at Columbia University in New York, says “People are faced with too
many options, in this case 48 songs. Since you can’t listen to all of them, a natural shortcut is to listen to what
other are listening to. I think that’s what happens in the real world.”
Salganik also says that people want to know what others are listening to. He says that people enjoy
discussing and sharing music and books with their friends. So it isn’t necessary for a popular book or song to
be of good quality. It is only necessary that some people enjoy it. Then these people influence their friends.
And soon, the popularity of a song or boo spreads. Perhaps it will even become a big hit.
Today the Internet lets people share their opinions about movies, books, and music almost instantly.
People write about music or on social networking sites, post comments on the Web, or read readers’ reviews.
On the Internet, a person can easily see how many people bought a book or downloaded a song. Perhaps this
information has more influence on our choices than we think.

questions.
The British honours system: two points of view
If you won an MBE, would you accept it? We asked two British people what they think about the
honours system. Here is what they said.
Every year about two thousand amazing people receive a special honour from the queen. And it
seems to me that they deserve it.
Take Eleanor Simmonds, for example. She was born with dwarfism, and at the age of thirteen, she
was only 123 cm tall. But that didn't stop her from reaching the top in her sport. She has won four swimming
gold medals in the Paralympic Games.
As a teenager, Chris Preddie used to be in a gang. His friends used to steal and sell drugs. Chris didn't
use to believe that he could make a positive difference to his community. However when he was sixteen,
someone shot and killed his brother. Chris decided to change his life, and now he helps young criminals to
stay out of trouble.
Bill Crispin is eighty-two. Every morning, he helps young children to cross the road safely on their
way to school. It is sometimes very cold in winter, but just Bill complains? Certainly not. He is always
smiling, and always ready to help other people.
Eleeanor and Bill won MBEs for their achievements, and Chris won an OBE. I feel the British
honours system is a great way to thank people for their hard work. The Queen gives each winner a medal,
either in Buckingham Palace in London, or in Edinburgh or Cardiff, the capitals of Scotland and Wales. For
these British heroes, it’s the proudest moment of their life.
