A.

Chocolate chip cookies were actually a mistake!

One day in 1903, Ruth Wakefield,

while baking a batch of cookies, noticed she was out of bakers’ chocolate!

As a substitute

she broke some semi — sweetened chocolate into small pieces and put them in the dough.

She thought that the chocolate would melt in the dough and the dough would absorb it.

When she opened up the oven, she realized she had invented the tasty treat called choco —

late chip cookies!

B. Computers originally began as calculators.

The first calculator was made by Blaise

Pascal.

It only had eight buttons, and it could only do addition and subtraction.

There

was a set of wheels, and all of the wheels had the numbers zero through nine on them.

The wheels were connected by gears and each turn of one wheel would turn the next

wheel one — tenth of a turn.

This machine was completed in 1642 when Blaise was twenty —

one years old.

C. A helicopter has a big advantage over an airplane, especially when people might be

trapped in a tight place like on a mountain, where there is not much space to land, or on

the water.

They are also used for rescuing people from burning buildings or from trees

when there are floods.

Without the helicopter as a rescue vehicle, many people would

lose their lives because the rescuers would be unable to reach them if they were in a dif —

ficult area.

D. Cars have always caused air pollution.

In the past, there was a lot more air pollu —

tion created by cars than there is today.

In the future, there will probably be even less.

Two good ways for pursuing the dream of less air pollution are cars that run on solar en —

ergy and cars that run on fuel cells.

Solar energy and fuel cells don’t cause pollution be —

cause they do not give off any exhaust.

E. Reporter Rob Spence is planning to have a camera embedded in his eye socket and

become a ‘bionic reporter’.

Spence, who lost one of his eyes when he was young, says he

has a prototype in development and that one day the replacement of even healthy eyes

with bionic ones may become commonplace.

‘It seems shocking now, but it will become

more and more normal, ’ he said.

F. Crop circles have been appearing in fields all over the world for the past 30 years.

There have been suggestions that they are made by flying saucers landing and flatten —

ing the crops, or even that they are messages left by visiting aliens.

Others think they are

created by microwave beams from satellites orbiting the Earth.

Other more rational suggestions are that crop circles are man — made hoaxes, attempt —

ing to convince the public of extra — terrestrial life on Earth.

G. The Egyptian Pyramids have always been surrounded by mystery.

When Egyptologists began to open the tombs of the pharaohs, rumours abounded that

anyone who raided them would be cursed.

Many think a curse was to blame for the death

of Lord Carnarvon, who funded the expedition to open King Tutankhamen’s tomb in

1923.

He died of pneumonia after being bitten by a mosquito a few weeks after the tomb

was opened.

The Hitchhiker

As Andrea turned off the motorway onto the road to Brockbourne, the small village in which she lived, it was four o’clock in the afternoon, but already the sun was falling behind the hills. At this time in December, it would be completely dark by five o’clock. Andrea shivered. The interior of the car was not cold, but the trees bending in the harsh wind and the patches of yesterday’s snow still heaped in the fields made her feel chilly inside. It was another ten miles to the cottage where she lived with her husband Michael, and the dim light and wintry weather made her feel a little lonely.

She was just coming out of the little village of Mickley when she saw an old lady, standing by the road, with a crude hand-written sign saying «Brockbourne’ in her hand. Andrea was surprised. She had never seen an old lady hitchhiking before. However, the weather and the coming darkness made her feel sorry for the lady, waiting hopefully on a country road like this with little traffic. Normally, Andrea would never pick up a hitchhiker when she was alone, thinking it was too dangerous, but what was the harm in doing a favor for a little old lady like this? Andrea pulled up a little way down the road, and the lady, holding a big shopping bag, hurried over to climb in the door which Andrea had opened for her.

When she did get in, Andrea could see that she was not, in fact, so little. Broad and fat, the old lady had some difficulty climbing in through the car door, with her big bag, and when she had got in, she more than filled the seat next to Andrea. She wore a long, shabby old dress, and she had a yellow hat pulled down low over her eyes. Panting noisily from her effort, she pushed her big brown canvas shopping bag down onto the floor under her feet, and said in a voice which was almost a whisper, «Thank you dearie. I’m just going to Brockbourne.»

«Do you live there?» asked Andrea, thinking that she had never seen the old lady in the village in the four years she had lived there herself. «No, dearie,» answered the passenger, in her soft voice, «I’m just going to visit a friend. He was supposed to meet me back there at Mickley, but his car won’t start, so I decided to hitchhike. I knew some kind soul would give me a lift.»

Something in the way the lady spoke, and the way she never turned her head, but stared continuously into the darkness ahead from under her old yellow hat, made Andrea uneasy about this strange hitchhiker. She didn’t know why, but she felt instinctively that there was something wrong, something odd, something.. dangerous. But how could an old lady be dangerous? It was absurd. Careful not to turn her head, Andrea looked sideways at her passenger. She studied the hat, the dirty collar of the dress, the shapeless body, the arms with their thick black hairs.. Thick black hairs? Hairy arms? Andrea’s blood froze. This wasn’t a woman. It was a man.

At first, she didn’t know what to do. Then suddenly, an idea came into her terrified brain. Swinging the wheel suddenly, she threw the car into a skid, and brought it to a halt. «My God!» she shouted, «A child! Did you see the child? I think I hit her!» The «old lady’ was clearly shaken by the sudden skid. «I didn’t see anything dearie,» she said. «I don’t think you hit anything.» «I’m sure it was a child!» insisted Andrea. «Could you just get out and have a look? Just see if there’s anything on the road?» She held her breath. Would her plan work?

It did. The passenger slowly opened the car door, leaving her bag inside, and climbed out to investigate. As soon as she was out of the vehicle, Andrea gunned the engine and soon she had put a good three miles between herself and the awful hitchhiker.

It was only then that she thought about the bag lying on the floor in front of her. Maybe the bag would provide some information about the real identity of the old woman who was actually not an old woman. Pulling into the side of the road, Andrea lifted the heavy bag onto her lap and opened it curiously. It contained only one item – a small hand axe, with a razor-sharp blade. The axe, and the inside of the bag, were covered with the dark red stains of dried blood. Andrea began to scream.

12. Andrea shivered because…

1) the sun was falling behind the hills.

2) it was chilly inside the car.

Space Programmes

The main argument used against the space programme is that the enormous amount of money it costs I could be better spent on solving problems such as poverty and environmental damage here on Earth.

Initially, this view 30 ___________ persuasive, particularly when confronted with how huge the amounts of money we are talking about actually are. Surely, the argument goes, if, instead of sending I hundreds of billions of dollars up into space for a pointless walk on the Moon or a few glossy colour photographs of Mars, we channelled the funds into 31 ___________ projects on our own planet, we could solve all the world’s problems in about as short a time as it takes for the space shuttle to circle the globe.

How appealing and – perhaps sadly – how untrue. The fallacy of that argument is in the idea that all of the money allotted to the space programme is wasted in space. It isn’t. None of the money goes into space at 32 ___________. It stays right here on Earth and is fed back into the economy.

Take the astronauts and tens of thousands of other people who are involved in whatever way with the space programme. They spend their salaries – and pay tax on them – here on Earth. That tax is used by governments to do a number of important things: build hospitals and schools, 33 ___________ pensions, pay for the police service and, yes, fund the space programme. Take the cost of all the spacecraft, the technology inside them and the research that’s done to create that technology. All of that money goes to companies here on Earth, companies which pay tax if they 34 ___________ a profit, and pay salaries to their workers, who then pay tax to the government, which builds hospitals, etc.

Looking at it the other way round, what would happen if all the governments in the world which have a space programme 35 ___________ their programmes down tomorrow? Would they have a lot more money to spend on other things? Only for a very short time, because along with the 36 ___________ savings there would be enormous costs from the increased unemployment and reduction in taxes received.

A. Chocolate chip cookies were actually a mistake! One day in 1903, Ruth Wakefield,
while baking a batch of cookies, noticed she was out of bakers’ chocolate! As a substitute
she broke some semi-sweetened chocolate into small pieces and put them in the dough.
She thought that the chocolate would melt in the dough and the dough would absorb it.
When she opened up the oven, she realized she had invented the tasty treat called choco-
late chip cookies!
B. Computers originally began as calculators. The first calculator was made by Blaise
Pascal. It only had eight buttons, and it could only do addition and subtraction. There
was a set of wheels, and all of the wheels had the numbers zero through nine on them.
The wheels were connected by gears and each turn of one wheel would turn the next
wheel one-tenth of a turn. This machine was completed in 1642 when Blaise was twenty-
one years old.
C. A helicopter has a big advantage over an airplane, especially when people might be
trapped in a tight place like on a mountain, where there is not much space to land, or on
the water. They are also used for rescuing people from burning buildings or from trees
when there are floods. Without the helicopter as a rescue vehicle, many people would
lose their lives because the rescuers would be unable to reach them if they were in a dif-
ficult area.
D. Cars have always caused air pollution. In the past, there was a lot more air pollu-
tion created by cars than there is today. In the future, there will probably be even less.
Two good ways for pursuing the dream of less air pollution are cars that run on solar en-
ergy and cars that run on fuel cells. Solar energy and fuel cells don’t cause pollution be-
cause they do not give off any exhaust.
E. Reporter Rob Spence is planning to have a camera embedded in his eye socket and
become a ‘bionic reporter’. Spence, who lost one of his eyes when he was young, says he
has a prototype in development and that one day the replacement of even healthy eyes
with bionic ones may become commonplace. ‘It seems shocking now, but it will become
more and more normal,’ he said.
F. Crop circles have been appearing in fields all over the world for the past 30 years.
There have been suggestions that they are made by flying saucers landing and flatten-
ing the crops, or even that they are messages left by visiting aliens. Others think they are
created by microwave beams from satellites orbiting the Earth.
Other more rational suggestions are that crop circles are man-made hoaxes, attempt-
ing to convince the public of extra-terrestrial life on Earth.
G. The Egyptian Pyramids have always been surrounded by mystery.
When Egyptologists began to open the tombs of the pharaohs, rumours abounded that
anyone who raided them would be cursed. Many think a curse was to blame for the death
of Lord Carnarvon, who funded the expedition to open King Tutankhamen’s tomb in
1923. He died of pneumonia after being bitten by a mosquito a few weeks after the tomb
was opened.
