Stray dog follows adventure race team for 430 miles

The Adventure Racing World Series might be the most challenging sports event in
the world. lt usually involves teams of four navigating through a vast wilderness area
while using adventure skills from a range of disciplines including hiking, adventure
running, mountain biking, paddling and climbing.
During the 2014 competition, for the first time ever, an exception was made so that
one team could finish the race with five members instead of four. That fifth member?
A stray dog, named Arthur by his companions, who decided to follow one team for
430 tiring miles through the Amazon jungle. According to the Daily Mail, if this story
doesn't warm your heart, you don't have one.
Team Peak Performance from Sweden came across Arthur while sharing a meal
before a 20-mile race stage through a mountainous area in Ecuador. Mikael Lindnord,
one of the team's members, felt sorry for the miserable, lonely stray, and decided to
share a meatball with him. lt was an innocent gesture - Lindnord had no intention
but to lift the poor dog's spirits - but it was a gesture that would earn him a friend
for life.
As the team got up to continue their race, Arthur went along with them. The team
suspected he would eventually turn back around, but Arthur kept following them, He
traiied them through muddy jungle, across vast distances of the Amazon river, all the
way to the finish line.
The sport of adventure racing is not for the faint of heart - no more for dogs than for
humans. During the most challenging stages of the race, the team tried to get rid of
their companion because they were concerned for his safety, but Arthur refused to
leave. He was determined to stay with his companions.
For instance, one of the most important stages of the race requires the team to
kayak along the coast for 36 miles. Understandably, the team wanted to leave Arthur
behind on the shore. But as they paddled away, Arthur broke free, jumped into the
water and began swimming after the team. Realising that the dog was willing to
drown in order to stay with his friends, the team lifted Arthur onto the kayak so the
dog could complete the race with them, to loud clapping from people watching from
the shore.
Arthur's loyalty paid off in the end; Lindnord was able to adopt him and bring him
back to his home in Sweden, where the dog is currently living, healthy and happy.
"l almost cried in front of the computer, when I got the decision from Jordbruksverket
(Board of Agriculture) in Sweden!" reported Lindnord after hearing that his request to
adopt,Arthur had been granted. "l came to Ecuador to win the World Championship.
Instead, I got a new friend."

is a paraphrase of pets allowed.
Step 3. After listening
Go back to the answers to choose the correct option.

A is not correct as the restaurant is a good piace for weekend breakfasts, not
lunches. Cycling is a good activity for older kids (not younger), and we don,t know
whether they do it in the back yard, so B is not correct either. In C we are told that
customers are allowed to bringtheir pets, which is a paraphrase of the sentence
You con also take your dog. So C is the correct answer.

1 Why did teacher Adam Randall start his 'Kindness Project'?
A He wanted to put his students'ideas into practice.

B He liked giving his students difficult assignments.
C He intended to teach his students to be generous.
Step'1. Befsre listening

) Read questions 1-5 (p. 23) and the possible answers to them. While reading,
try to determine the topic of the text you will hear. Now you can guess that
the text is about students' participation in a project for pet lovers. You can
guess this because of the following clues: kindness project, students'ideas, to be
generous, the omount of money raised by the kids, msde equipment, tidied up the
'Kitty City'cot homes, to donote, woys to support, child animol helpers.
) Read question 1 and the possible answers to it again. Look for the key words
and related ideas to help you decid e why the teqcher started the project.
Step 2. Llsten to the first paragraph of the text to answer question 1
Track 12
Listen for the information that can help you answer the question.

Go back to the answers again to choose the right one. Analyse the answers.
At the beginning of the text it is said that kindness con go o long way and thot's the
lesson teocher Adam Randoll hod in mind. From the text we can't figure out whether
Adam Randall's assignmenls were difficult (B), or guess whether the students had
their own ideos which should be put into practice (A). Therefore, answer C is the
best answer to the question. Besides, the word kindness which you hear in the
recording is close in its meaning to generous (generosity) in option C.

Dolphins have a reputation as the smiling diplomats of the sea, often shown
as

good at not lust speat ing with their own immediate family members, but also
d ista ntly-related cousi ns.
University of puerto Rico biologist Laura May-Collado noticed this while

ericounters became more alike. This was a very exciting discovery."

Exam Tutor
Dolphins are already known to change their language when they talk to each other.
According to May-Collado, "l wouldn't be surprised if they can change their signals
to copy, and even possibly communicate with other species. Particularly when their
home ranges force them to communicate every day, which is what happened in this
situation."
But some people say that this situation may not necessarily be one of friendly
interaction or diplomacy. Bottlenose dolphins are much bigger than their Guyana
cousins and have been known to bully the smaller species. Dr. May-Collado points
out that the Guyana dolphins could even have been transmitting distress calls to
make the Bottlenose dolphins go away. Bottlenose dolphin group together in pods
usually consisting of 10 to 30 members. Some pods have been known to even include
a thousand dolphins! They are an impressive presence in the sea and can measure
up to 3.8m long. The Guyana dolphins look a lot like a smaller Bottlenose, measuring
around 2.1m long.

Meet Chico the capybara,

an outsized pet in every sense of the word
"Anybody can have a cat or a dog," says jackie Coleman Wren. "But I wanted a oet
that would fit my personality." So, what's her choice? Chico, a hog-sized capybara.
Capybaras are the world's largest rodents and resemble giant guinea pigs. ln the
wild, these water-loving South American natives spend days feeding'oi aquatic
plants in lakes and rivers, and roaming the savannas to graze on grasses and fruit.
But not Chico.
Chico loves to wear hats, swimming and diving in the family pool with Wren,s
grandchildren, sleeping in bed with Wren and her husband, and he adores weekly
barbecues where he likes to relax on a chair in the middle of everything. Oh, and his
best friend is Darla, a mini-pig, who also lives at home with the Wrens, along with a
possum, a pet chihuahua and occasional rescued animals.
Not only is Chico a much loved family member who keeps everyone laughing, he,s
also extremely adorable. "He thinks he's a lapdog," Wren says. ;'lf you,r. sitting on
the couch or someone comes over to visit, the first thing Chico doei is climb up-anO
start giving kisses." Apparently, he's also highly intelligent and expressive with a wide
range of sounds, from whistles to clicking his teeth as a warning.
In fact, Chico's extreme people-friendliness (unusual for a capybara) has.made him

a star, both in his community and around the world. Chico has appeared on Animal
Planet and the BBC. He even has his own Facebook page.
Chico is also part of several research and charitable projects. He receives specialised
veterinary care at Texas A&M University, which keeps track of his growth and health
in an effort to better understand capybaras' medical needs and help train vets to
care for them. Wren also supplies regular updates on Chico's diet and any health
issues to the ROUS (Rodents of Unusual Size) Foundation. The group has a iesearch
program to "improve the quality and duration of life" for pet capybaras and those
living in zoos. The information eventually may also be used to helb wild capybaras,
which are getting smaller in number in some areas where they are heavily hunted.
One of Chico's (and Wren's) favourite outreach activities is touring schools and visiting
kids with special needs. Chico loves the attention, teachers useihe hands-on lesson
to teach kids about South America, and students get to see and touch a creature
they're hot likely to meet anywhere else. Wren view-s it as an opportunity to teach

tolerance with Chico serving as an ambassador. "l want kids to see that even though
an animal looks different, it's just like with human beings. Everybody is different, but
everybody has his or her role. We should embrace each other for our differences.
Children are more likely to listen to this message than adults."
1 Why did Wren decide to have a capybara as a pet?

A She had already had a cat and a dog.
B She was looking for a pet like a guinea pig.
C She had always wanted to have a unique pet.
D She chose a pet similar to her in nature.
2 Which of the following is TRUE about Chico?
A He does not cover his head.

B He does not bathe with kids.
C He does not party outdoors.
D He does not chase the mini-Pig.
3 How is Chico different from other capybaras?

A He is more intelligent.
B He is more sociable.
C He makes more sounds.
D He is bigger.
4 What is the purpose of the research projects involving Chico?
A to investigate the behaviour of wild capybaras

B to keep Chico healthy
C to ensure better living conditions for capybaras
D to improve Chico's diet
5 What is the aim of Wren and Chico's visits to schools?

A to help kids get to know the animals of South America
B to participate in hands-on craft lessons
C to make kids accept and respect various people
D to show kids an extremely clever pet

The trip takes between 90-110 minutes, depending on tides and other vessels. We
take up to 12 passengers at a time. The seals enjoy resting on the mudbanks, and
prefer areas where rivers flow into the sea, such as backwaters, because these
waters are permanently ice-free.

Bungay Loop - Canoeing

Canoes can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They also have the advantage of
being totally silent, ailowing you to get closer to wildlife while enjoying the beautiful
landscape of the Waveney Valley. Swans, herons and kingfishers can be seen on
the river and, in the summer, beautiful butterflies and dragonflies gather there
too. Although otters often live in the river, they are unfortunately not easily seen.
Canoe hire is available at Bungay from the Outney Meadow Caravan Park. Children
accom pa nied by adults a re welcome. As safety on the water is always very im portant,
please be aware of the safety rules.

Read the text below. Fill in gaps 1-6 with choices A-H.
There are two choices you
do not need to use.
Crocodilian climbers
Crocodiles are usually considered ground-dwellers, but a few
anecdotes suggest
they climb at least occasionally. Local reports from places such
as Mexico, Colombia,
Indonesia and Botswana described crocs lying in trees.
University of Tennessee zoologist Vladimir Dinets and his

colleagues decided
(1)- ' While they were conducting their crocodile research, the scientists
recorded their observations of climbing crocs.
In Australia, they observed freshwater crocodiles (2)_

. when approached by
boats, the crocs splashed into the water below to escape.
Climbing Aussie crocodiles
were more likely to be small or juvenile; such crocs are sometimes
able . (3)_
The champion climbers of the crocodilians seem to be
central Africa,s slender-
snouted species, which regularly lie up high, the researchers
found.
There is no evidence (4)-, but they are still capable of climbing high, Dinets
and his colleagues concluded. The most common spots for climbing
suggesting that crocodilians use trees to get up out of the
(5)_ ,
shade and into the sun.
However, the existence of night-climbing suggests the behaviour
has another

) Look through the choices to decide which best suits the lexical context.
Choice A required is not correct because it would mean that o rule or authority

Choices C and D are not possible because the verbs csuse and demand cannot

Travelling makes us far happier than any material wealth ever does
Why do we head for the shops with such determination as soon as we have money
to spend? With every new purchase we feel a little happier, but a few days later that
satisfaction is often gone completely.
It (1)_ that the main obstacle to happiness is adaptation. As soon as something

we've bought becomes ordinary and unexciting, the level of life satisfaction we feel
falls, and we're (2) to search around for the next purchase. This process is

However, research (4)_out at Cornell University has found a (5)_ to break
this damaging cycle. Psychology professor Thomas Gilovich has shown that we
experience the same increase in happiness when we buy something we want and
when we go travelling. But - and here's the most important point - the (6)_

travelling experience continue to supply us with happiness hormones for much

) Read the sentence to identify its structure and guess the grammatical form of
the gapped word. In this example, the use orine indefiiite article o tells us
that the noun-subject is singular. Look after the gap 2. We are looking for a
word or a phrase that relates to body temperature.
) Look through the choices to decide which one best suits the grammatical
context. The use of o before the gap means options C and D are incorrect,
as the noun lorks is used in the plural, not singular. The correct option is B
because it is singular and in the possessive form (o lark's body temperoture).

Larks and owls
The ups and downs of your body temperature determine whether you will be a lark
or an owl. A (1)_ bodytemperature rises sharply in the morning, reaching a
peak (2)_ late afternoon and early evening. This is when larks are (3)_
productive. But as body temperature decreases, so (4)_
energy level. By nine
o'clock, larks are getting sleepy. Owls work on a different schedule. Their body
temperature rises more gradually and peaks later in the day. This allows them

Hello Mr. Editor,

My friends and I listened to your progromme yesterday which wos very interesting
for us. We are school leqvers now thot's why this problem is important for us. You soid
about plans of the Ministry to limit the numbers of subjects in high school. l woutd like
explain my point of view to you.
I agree with this proposal becouse for me it is difficult to learn all those unnecesory
subiects like Chemistry, Physics, ond so on. I om going to enter tT facutty and I see
myself os an lT developer in the future.
I am sure that Ukrainion, English or German ond Mothematics will be enough
for me
to become o good lT specialist. My parents also say thot it's better to know less subjects
well thon to know nothing when we have 20 subjects. I'd also like to hqve more Sports
lessons at school becouse it's importantto keep fit. Do you agree with me?
Speoking obout some optional lessons I think thot it could be greot to study
Economics and Manogement to know more how business works. Nowadoys we hove
msny posibilities to make our own business and we must understond how to do that
correctly. Also, I wont to leorn to play chess at school, I om sure it will help me to think
logic in difficult situotions.
Thank you for your ottention. lh looking forword to your onswer.
Best wishes to you and your programme.

5 Ways to stoP being lazYt

,,l,mgoingtotake alazydaytoday."okay,there'snothingwrongwiththis. lt'scalleda
Oay off, rnd it's a magiial tf ing. But when every day is a"lazy day," there's a
problem.
Here are 5 ways to stop being lazy and become more productive!
17_
nr. you O*ed out from working 27 hours a day, 9 days a week for as long as you
can remember? This is a signal that you need a rest or a change. Human beings
are nor supposed to work all the time. Maybe you feel upset or are afraid to fail at
the task, or you just don't want to do the task; these are problems with separate
solutions. Finding out the root cause of your laziness can help you make the changes
you need to make in order to be a more effective and energetic person.
18-
peo-plework more efficiently when they have a little rest time. Working in short,
focused bursts is far more effective than trying to get through the task all at once.
Not only will you be happier with the end product, but you'll feel better and more
energized after comPleting it.
19-
Wf'un portiOle, work smarter instead of harder. lf you can find a b_etter way to do
the task, you're more likely to enjoy it because you're not simply performing the task
like a robot, but rather, using your creativity and imagination to their best effect'
This will make you feel better about the job and you'll probably enjoy it more, too.
20--
Sometimes, we just need a little extra backup. There's nothing wrong with asking
for help from a more motivated colleague, friend, or family member. This is a useful
way to ger you up and moving, because they will motivate you to do the task. At the
same time, you may be doing them a favour by motivating them to work harder. A
little friendly competition never hurt anyone!
21
Sometimes there's just no getting around it. All the good advice and wishes in the
world won't make ih. 1oO look any better. In these cases, you need to remember
you,re an intelligent, mature member of the Homo Sapiens, and th,en get down to
work. While it may not be fun at the time, you can look back on the task you did
later and say, "Yeah. I did that." You shouldn't have to force yourself out of bed every
morning (thls is a warning sign of depression that you should NOT ignore), but every
once in a while, we need to force ourselves to do something we just don't want to do.
e.li.".it or not, you'll be proud of yourself once the task is done.
57
ll:r ]Ylel
Think of how to act more efficiently.
E : Learn to reward yourself.

i f i Establish the reasons for being lazy.

:H: Find somebody to support you.
Task 5
It's all been done before

This year l've seen headlines saying: "The youngest person to sail the Atlantic alone",
"The youngest Briton to climb Mount Everest", "The first person to cross the Pacific
Ocean on a windsurfing board ", and "The first people to fly around the world in a
hot-air balloon". Why do they do it? Don't they have better things to do with their
time and money? And why should I be interested anyway?
Human beings have already climbed the highest mountains, sailed across the oceans
and flown around the world. People have already reached the most remote parts
of our planet. Many of these things were done a long, long time ago. There just isn't
anything left to explore nowadays. I suppose there's still a lot of the universe left, and
the bottom of the oceans is still a bit of a mystery, butyou need a lot of technology
to explore areas like that. So, those people who feel the need for adventure can only
do things that have been done before. Therefore they have to try and do it in a new line 12
way, or be "the fastest" or "the youngest" or "the oldest" - to do something that isn't
really new at all.
In May this year, a British man became the first person to walk alone from Canada to
the geographic North Pole. The problem was that he went in the spring, when the ice
begins to melt and break up. So, he got stuck on an isolated piece of ice and a plane
had to be sent in to rescue him. lt's very difficult to land a plane on breaking ice and
the people who risked their lives to do it weren't very happy. They called the timing
of the expedition "a bit stupid".
Talking of taxpayers, many Australians are getting a bit fed up with record breakers.
A lot of people trying to break sailing or rowing records get into trouble in the seas
around A[rstralia, so the Australian military has to send ships to save them.
58
Exam Tutor
There have been a lot of difficult, time-consuming rescue missions in recent years
costing the Australian government millions of dollars. I suppose we can't just leave
them to drown, but personally, I think we should give the bill to the people who
are rescued. Perhaps they would think twice about doing it if they had to pay for
expensive insurance premiums. Then I wouldn't have to read about them in the
newspapers either.
What do you think?Are these explorers heroes or a dangerto other people? Examples
of courage and determination which should inspire the rest of us? Or a waste of
time, energy and moneY?
22 What is the author's attitude to the record breakers?

A He admires their courage.
B He takes an interest in them.
C They make him wonder.
D They inspire him to join in.
23 What does if in line 12 refer to?
A setting a record
B exploring the universe
C studying the ocean
D becoming wealthy
24 What went wrong with the British man's Arctic expedition?
A He failed to get off a remote island.
B He was too weak to continue his journey.
C He was stopped by the warm weather.
D He realised it was a mistake to walk alone.
2 ZS What is the problem with the Australian record breakers?
A They don't have personal insurance.
B They lack the necessary equipment.
C They don't know the seas around Australia.
D They make other people pay for them.
26 Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?
A Newspapers are full of articles about record breakers.
B lt's hard to find a completely new record to set.
C Record breakers put others in dangerous situations.
D You can make a lot of money from setting records.

Big bang
Clear your mind for a minute and try to imagine this: All the things you see in the
universe today - (33)-- are not yet out there. Everything that now exists is
concentrated in a single, incredibly hot, dense state (34)_. Then, suddenly, the
basic elements that make up the universe flash into existence. Scientists say that
actually happened about 13.8 billion years ago, (35)_.
For centuries scientists, religious scholars, poets, and philosophers have wondered
(36)-. Was it always there? Will it always be the same, or will it change? lf it had
a beginning, will it someday end or will it go on forever?
These are huge questions. But today, because of recent observations of space and
what it's made of, (37)-
. Everything we can see or detect around us in the
universe began with the big bang. We know the big bang created not only matter but
also space itself. And scientists think (38)
, stars will run out of fuel and burn
out. Once again the universe will become dark.
