VIII   Read the text and write whether the sentences are true or false.

My pet’s an insect

It sounds strange to many of us, but if you are Japanese this might be true. In most of Asia, insects are often thought to make good pets. In Western cultures, people do keep insects as pets, but this is often to do with a school project. For example, school children are often asked to catch caterpillars, and put them in a jar with some cabbage leaves, so they can observe them until they change into beautiful butterflies.

The main problem with having an insect as a pet is that they are hard to relate to. You can talk to a dog, a cat, a parrot or even a hamster, and perhaps even get them to do some tricks that you can teach them, but being friends with insects is just impossible. Nor can you cuddle or stroke them. On the one hand they are very fragile: you could easily kill or damage them if you handle them at all. And, on the other hand, touching an insect can be dangerous. Many of them can bite or sting you and in this way inject poison into your body, leading to illness or even death. This doesn’t always put people off. There are people who keep poisonous tarantula spiders, although it is extremely dangerous and in some places illegal.

With all these problems, it might seem surprising that insect pets are popular anywhere. But there can be benefits to keeping an insect as a pet. Some insects make beautiful sounds. Singing crickets are popular in Asian countries, and not just for their voice. They are used like guard dogs. If a burglar enters the house at night, the cricket stops singing and this wakes the family up.

1.      Give three reasons why being friends with insects is just impossible.

·         They are hard to relate to.

·         You can’t cuddle or stroke them.

·         Touching an insect can be dangerous.

2.      What are the advantages of keeping insects as pets?

They make beautiful sounds and some of them can be used as guard dogs.

3.      Why do children often catch caterpillers?

Children are asked to catch caterpillars for school projects. For example, they can observe them until they change into beautiful butterflies.

The novels of Charles Dickens

Many people believe that Charles Dickens was the greatest English novelist ever. He lived in the nineteenth century and wrote many novels and short stories. Some of these have been made into films and TV series.

His most famous novel is probably Oliver Twist. It is the story of a young orphan who runs away from an orphanage and is tricked into joining a band of thieves in London. Most people know this story even if they haven’t read it, because it was made into a very famous musical and film which has been seen all over the world.

David Copperfield is another very well-known Dickens story. It is based on the author’s own life, and tells the story of a poor boy who had a hard childhood but after many difficulties became a very successful writer.

Great Expectations is another dramatic novel where a poor boy becomes a rich man and leaves his village. But the young Pip does not find success through his own hard work but because a mysterious person gives him money. However, in the end Pip loses his fortune but finds something more important.

Almost all of Dickens’ novels take place during the 19th century, when Dickens lived. They show the terribly difficult lives poor people had at that time. One exception is A Tale of Two Cities which is about the French revolution, which happened in the century before Dickens was born. It tells the story of two men who look exactly the same, one good and one bad. The good man is going to be killed by French revolutionaries but changes places with the other. So the bad man dies and the good one is allowed to live.

VIII   Read the text and answer the questions. 

                                                        My pet’s an insect

It sounds strange to many of us, but if you are Japanese this might be true. In most of Asia, insects are often thought to make good pets. In Western cultures, people do keep insects as pets, but this is often to do with a school project. For example, school children are often asked to catch caterpillars, and put them in a jar with some cabbage leaves, so they can observe them until they change into beautiful butterflies.

The main problem with having an insect as a pet is that they are hard to relate to. You can talk to a dog, a cat, a parrot or even a hamster, and perhaps even get them to do some tricks that you can teach them, but being friends with insects is just impossible. Nor can you cuddle or stroke them. On the one hand they are very fragile: you could easily kill or damage them if you handle them at all. And, on the other hand, touching an insect can be dangerous. Many of them can bite or sting you and in this way inject poison into your body, leading to illness or even death. This doesn’t always put people off. There are people who keep poisonous tarantula spiders, although it is extremely dangerous and in some places illegal.

With all these problems, it might seem surprising that insect pets are popular anywhere. But there can be benefits to keeping an insect as a pet. Some insects make beautiful sounds. Singing crickets are popular in Asian countries, and not just for their voice. They are used like guard dogs. If a burglar enters the house at night, the cricket stops singing and this wakes the family up.

1. Give three reasons why being friends with insects is just impossible.
2. What are the advantages of keeping insects as pets?
3. Why do children often catch caterpillers?              5 p

VI Read the text and answer the questions.

When you travel on the motorway to Toulouse in the south of France, you pass by a large medieval city sitting among the vineyards and the sunflower fields. It is the old walled city of Carcassonne. It is one of the top tourist attractions in France. You might know it from films. It was Nottingham, the home of the Sheriff in the film Robin Hood , Prince of Thieves. But it has another connection with the film industry.

The city has got a castle, a cathedral, and lots of restaurants and tourist shops selling souvenirs for adults and toy helmets, swords, and shields for children. There is an open-air theatre in the garden of the cathedral, where the annual festivals of plays and concerts of classical and popular music takes place.

Part of the city is a modern 21^st century city, but parts of it looks almost as it did in the 12^th century. And especially so in July and August when tourists can enjoy the Medieval Tournament. Knights on horseback with their shields and lances ride towards each other to fight. And once they have been knocked off their horses, the fighting continues with swords, until there is one last knight left standing. He wins the contest.

The fighting and riding skills of the knights might remind you of some action films you have seen. This is not surprising. When these knights are not fighting in Carcassonne, they work as stunt actors in French cinema and TV.

VI Read the text and answer the questions.

Everybody needs friends, but researchers show that teenagers need friends more than older people. And friends are more important to girls than boys.

This is not surprising. Girls and women are generally more interested in social relationships than boys and men. The ages from 12 to 18 are the years when we are trying to find out who we are.

Perhaps we think the most important thing about our friends is that we have fun with them, but there is more serious side to friendship. Teenagers learn most of their social skills from friends. Through friends you learn how to agree and disagree, and how to work together to organize and do things. Even more important, perhaps, is the role friends have when problems arise. A real friend will help you solve your problems and will advise you when you feel sad or upset. This experience is essential to the development of personality. Young people who don’t have friends not only have less happy teenage years, but are very likely to have emotional and psychological problems in later life.

Friendship is important, but it can also be dangerous. Most young people don’t like to be different so they often start doing things they shouldn’t do because their friends have put pressure on them. For example, they might start drinking alcohol, smoking or taking drugs. Teenagers need friends, but they also need to be careful in choosing them.

 

1. Which sort of people are more interested in having friends?  Teenagers need friends more than older people. Also girls are more interested in friends than boys.
2. What are three good things about having friends? The three good things are  that teenagers learn most of their social skills from friends, they learn how to agree and disagree, and how to work together to organize and do things.
3. What do friends do when you have problems?  A real friend will help you solve your problems and will advise you when you feel sad or upset
4. What can happen to people who didn’t have friends when they were young?They are very likely to have emotional and psychological problems in later life.
5. How can friends cause problems for teenagers? They can put pressure on them to start drinking alcohol, smoking or taking drugs.
