8 Stonehenge
Read the article about Stonehenge. Then answer the questions below using 1 to

Summer Solstice1 at Stonehenge (Around June 20/21)
The ancient monument of Stonehenge in the United Kingdom is part of the human
cultural heritage. It's controlled by English Heritage, who for most of the year keep
people away from the stones. You can "look but not touch" from a distance, getting to
know the stones from "interpretive displays" in the visitors' centre rather than by
approaching the stones themselves.
But once a year something magic happens. Since 2000, English Heritage has allowed
people to visit the stones overnight at the summer solstice. You can't take tents or even
sleeping bags (but picnic mats and blankets are OK), and you can't climb on the stones
(but a blind eye is generally turned to hugging them). Drums will be beating in the
background, rising to a crescendo at dawn.
Many of the thousands who make this pilgrimage each year have a special place in their
heart for the stones, and the atmosphere is truly memorable.

9 Ireland
Read the text about Ireland. Then complete the sentences below using 1 to 5
words/numbers.
Ireland is indeed famous for many things; its green countryside, its windswept cliffs and
its rain. However, in terms of its culture, Ireland is well known for its music. Villagers
used to spend the cold winter evenings together in the pubs, and everyone brought their
instruments. People had large families so they taught their children different
instruments - the flute, the fiddle (or violin), the bodhran (drum), the harp, and pipes.
Then each family had its own band. Different families played and sang each evening in
the pub. Other people in the village danced. In Irish dancing people keep their arms
still and only use their legs. This is because there was no room to move when the whole
village was in the pub with them! Because the evenings were long and dark, people
spent several hours in the pubs, so they did not make songs with a start and middle and
finish. They played 'sessions'. The music lasted as long as the musicians could play, and
they made it up as they played it.

18 Oscar Pistorius
Read the interview with Oscar Pistorius, who was the first ever amputee to take
part in able-bodied World Championships. Match the paragraphs (a to f) with the
questions (1 to 5). There is one more paragraph than you need.
a) This will be the highest-profile and most prestigious able-bodied event that I have
ever competed in and l will face the highest calibre of athletes from across the
planet. lf I manage to make it through the heats, I will be thrilled. It will be an
incredible experience for me and can only help improve me as an athlete …
b) I remained positive, I ran under 46 seconds three times before I set the qualifying
time and I knew I had it in me, as I had worked so hard and had to keep faith in my
ability. lt was a relief to achieve the time and one of the greatest days of my life.
c) There are so many, I don’t know if I could pick one, but that first Paralympic gold
medal in Athens was incredible and one of the greatest occasions ever!
d) I am a very proud Paralympian and every race has a different goal, a different tactic
I may use, or a different way to test my training, whether that be Paralympic or ablebodied racing. Mentally, I don't like to lose to anyone!
e) Running alongside non-disabled athletes was pretty similar to running with disabled
athletes. Last year they were very supportive, beyond my expectations. Everyone
was wrapped up in their own performance, so they didn’t have time to think about
anyone else.
f) I enjoy training and performing and if that brings attention, then so be it. l'm just
trying to be the best athlete I can be, and if that helps inspire people l will have gone
some way to feeling fulfilled in my life.

Read the paragraphs (1 to 6) about a special hotel and match each of them with
one of the descriptions (a to g). You may use each letter only once. There is one
more description than you need.
Green Friendly Hotel in the Navajo Desert
1. "The VIEW is designed with respect for the sacred setting in which it is located.
ʽGreen’ building standards and environmentally friendly operating procedures will
be a hallmark of the VIEW Hotel, Restaurant and Trading Post. This is a decision
that has guided every phase of design and construction and we are excited about
opening our eco-friendly hotel in December to visitors from around the world," says
hotel owner Armanda Ortega.
2. Our guests will have access to recycling with designated bins throughout the
property and in every guestroom. Guests can use linens and towels for more than a
day reducing the water and energy consumption involved in washing sheets daily
and all of our linens will be 100% cotton with no synthetics which use
petrochemicals. All guestroom appliances and the hotel front desk will be Energy
Star rated. Guestrooms will use glassware rather than disposable cups and all
guestrooms and public areas will be guaranteed safe from the pollution of smoking.
3. The staff will incorporate green practices in the operation of the hotel. The
housekeeping staff will utilize low-water, computer-controlled washers, green
laundry detergent, and biodegradable cleaning materials. All guestrooms and public
areas will be guaranteed safe from the pollution of smoking. The smoke-free areas
are all inside the facility. Landscaping surrounding the hotel is Xeriscape using low
water consumption native plantings.
4. Like every guestroom in the VIEW, the restaurant will have a spectacular
panoramic view of Monument Valley and, like the hotel, it will have high
environmentally friendly standards. The menu will include eco-friendly groceries
that have been grown without the application of pesticides or fertilizers, and locally
grown products will be used whenever possible.
5. A program will be developed with the local Navajo high school to grow vegetables
and herbs for seasonal harvest using composting and environmentally sensitive
planting and harvesting.
6. Navajo Nation Tribal Council Member and Chairman of the Natural Resources
Committee, George Arthur, says: "The location for the hotel was selected because
it is adjacent to the park visitors center which has served tourists in the Tribal Park
for over 50 years. Every effort has been taken to make the hotel blend into the
landscape of the red rock mesa so the visitor to Monument Valley will enjoy the
view from the hotel as well as the view of the hotel from the valley floor."

21 Treasure
Read the text about a treasure find and complete the notes with information
from the text in 1 to 5 words/numbers.
Anglo-Saxon Treasure Trove Uncovered
By RAPHAEL G. SATTER
LONDON (Sept. 24) – An amateur treasure hunter prowling English farmland with a
metal detector stumbled upon the largest Anglo-Saxon treasure ever discovered.
"This is just a fantastic find completely out of the blue," Roger Bland, who managed
the cache's excavation, told The Associated Press. "It will make us rethink the Dark
Ages." Leslie Webster, the former curator of Anglo-Saxon archaeology at the British
Museum, said the amount of gold uncovered suggested that early medieval England
was a far wealthier place than previously believed.
The seventh-century hoard, found by 55-year-old Terry Herbert in western England,
consists of about 1,500 pieces of gold and silver, mostly weapons and other military
artifacts, some inlaid with precious stones. Experts say the finely crafted pieces could
have belonged to Anglo-Saxon royalty. The hoard was officially declared treasure by a
coroner, which means it will now be valued by a committee of experts and offered up
for sale to a museum.
The hoard is in storage at the Birmingham Museum. Some of the items are due to go on
display starting Friday. "The quantity of gold is amazing but, more importantly, the
craftsmanship is consummate," said archaeologist Kevin Leahy, who catalogued the
find. "This was the very best that the Anglo-Saxon metalworkers could do, and they
were very good."
