Looking for a new Earth


For thousands of years, humans have explored the Earth. Nowadays, we are

First of all, astronomers look for a star. That’s because our own Earth orbits a
star (the Sun). More importantly, it is the correct distance from the Sun for
heat and light. So when astronomers have found the 2 ……………………..
they look at the planets around it. In recent years, astronomers have found
nearly 400 new planets with stars. Unfortunately, many of these

However, if the planet is in a good position, astronomers 4……………………..

THE ULTIMATE GREEN HOME
Sandwiched between an incredibly ugly shopping centre and a busy main
road, the environmentalist Sir David Attenborough, no less, is planting a tree
and declaring: ‘Today is a historic day.’ He really means it.

I. Maybe our children’s future will be an overheated, desert-like world, but if


it’s not, it will probably look a lot like this. The new, highly environmentally
friendly home of the World Wide Fund for Nature, a hemispherical glass tube
standing above a council car park, was officially opened today, watched by a
small but enthusiastic crowd. If humanity is to survive, they must have been
thinking, it will do so living in buildings of this kind.
II. Known as the ‘Living Planet Centre’, it has jumping panda animations that
greet visitors to its WWF Experience, where schoolchildren can interact with
Ocean, River, Forest and Wildlife Zones. Since the mid-20th century, many of
the ideas behind humanity’s attempts to protect animals and the natural world
have been started by the WWF. It is hoped their new home will be a living
example of that.
III. ‘The World Wide Fund for Nature is one of the great hopes for the world,’
Sir David Attenborough said. ‘This building enshrines that, and advertises it to
the world.’ The concrete is all recycled, as is the carpet and even most of the
computer equipment, and there are many solar energy panels. Other such
features include extensive glass to increase natural light, natural ventilation,
rainwater in the toilets, and heat pumps that bring warm air up from 200
metres below. In addition, new habitats and plant species have been installed
around the gardens, while indoors a home has been found for three tall trees.
IV. The sense of total calm inside, from the high curved ceilings to the plants
and trees, is all the more remarkable for the building’s urban location. It has
been built between a canal and a small area of woods listed as a Site of
Special Scientific Interest. Even so, it remains in an ugly corner of a fairly
unattractive town centre. The contrast gives us an idea of what might just be
possible in the future.
V. The WWF was set up in 1961. The organisation originally fought to protect
individual species, such as the Arabian oryx, from extinction. Eventually, the
focus moved from individual species to ecosystems: all the living things in

12
@MultiLevelRecord Abror Rahmatullayev
one area and the way they affect each other. Sir David, who is an
ambassador for the WWF, said: ‘Now, it’s not just individual ecosystems. Now
the change is to a global approach. If you want to do something, you have to
persuade people of the world not to pollute. That is because the planet is one
vast ecosystem. The WWF has been the leader in changing everyone’s
attitudes towards nature.’
VI. Sir David is clear about the task ahead, and more importantly, unlike many
environmentalists, he believes it is not too late to make a difference. ‘You
can’t turn the clock back, of course. That means you can’t put back forests
that are gone, not for a century, and the population size is not going to shrink.
But we can slow down the rate at which the numbers are increasing, we can
cut down the carbon we put in the atmosphere,’ he said. ‘It’s never happened
before that the whole world has come together and made a decision’. To go
as far as we have done to reduce carbon is an impressive achievement.

Read the following text for questions 21-29.

STAMPS
My parents called me Penelope and, as often happens with first names in the
UK, it was shortened to Penny. When I first went to school teachers teased
me about my name. They started to call me Penny Black. I had no idea why it
was so funny or why they changed my name from White to Black. Later I
discovered that this was the name of the very first stamp. I was so absorbed I
had to find out more; I started collecting when I was eight.
Stamps are one of those everyday items that people, especially children, take
for granted. In our world of email and text messaging it’s almost impossible to
imagine a time when you couldn’t communicate to anyone in writing at all.
Before 1635 there was only one person who could send and receive letters in
Britain and that was the monarch – letters were only carried to and from the
Royal Court. It was King Charles I who allowed the use of the Royal Mail to
members of the public and that’s when the Post Office system was founded.
But the whole process of sending a letter was both complicated and
expensive. Because the fee was calculated on how many sheets were written
and the distance travelled. So, as a result it was only businesses and the
wealthy who could afford to send letters. All this changed on 6 May 1840
when the world’s earliest adhesive postage stamp went on sale. Not only was
the process of sending a letter made easier but, at only one penny a stamp, it
was also affordable for everyone. The impact of the Penny Black was
incredible. First of all literacy standards improved dramatically. Then
economic growth increased as people started to use stamps to invest their
hard-earned money. No more saving your pennies in a sock under the bed!
So a small piece of gummed paper revolutionised a country. But others were
quick to follow. The Brazilians were next issuing their famous ‘Bull’s Eye’
stamps on 1 August 1843, they were followed by Switzerland in the same
year, the USA and Mauritius in 1847 and then France and Belgium in 1849.
But far from having just an administrative function stamps also reflect the
society that produces them. I remember being fascinated by my first stamps
from Magyar Posta – first of all I never knew where Magyar was and secondly
14
@MultiLevelRecord Abror Rahmatullayev
because the stamps had a heroic, working class feel about them. There were
often pictures of young people working in agriculture or industry – scenes
which would never appear on a British stamp. In such a small image there
was a clear message about the people’s attitude to their work and country,
and politics. In the UK, we favour portraying individuals famous for their
personal achievements. The person who has appeared on most stamps,
other than a British monarch, is Sir Winston Churchill, the prime minister
during the Second World War. The second is the Italian-born explorer
Christopher Columbus although they tend to picture his ships, or places
named after him, rather than an actual portrait of the man.
For me one of the most interesting sets of stamps, historically, is the one
issued in January 1900 by the Nicaraguans. The US government had long
been interested in a canal cutting through Central America but couldn’t decide
on whether it should be in Nicaragua or Panama. Then Nicaragua issued a
new definitive series of stamps whose main design showed Mount
Momotombo with smoke billowing from its highest point. A rival to the idea of
Nicaragua being favoured circulated the stamps to every US Congressman
and Senator and as a result Panama was chosen. In fact, the volcano had
been dormant for centuries but the artist wanted the mountain to look more
interesting!

PART 5
Read the following text for questions 30-35.
MIGRATORY LIFESTYLE
Out of a world population of 7.5 billion, around 30 million people currently
lead a migratory lifestyle. Every continent has nomadic groups, leading a life
very different from the sedentary communities they come into contact with.
Almost all migratory communities are in steady decline for a wide range of
reasons: climate change, political unrest, forced resettlement and armed
conflict have all impacted on these traditional communities, diminishing their
numbers year on year. However, the lure of the travelling lifestyle is as strong
as ever. The 'gypsy lifestyle' continues to inspire people - especially the
young - who crave the freedom of unstructured movement. Backpacking has
become almost a rite of passage for the young. 'Gap years' between school
and university often stretch to two years, or even more, as young people
become addicted to the culture of travelling light and moving on.
Traditional nomads may be seen as 'wanderers', but their movement is not as
unstructured as it may appear. Most nomadic communities are, or were,
herdsmen, leading their animals across fixed routes based on pastures. Their
societies were based on strong bonds of kinship. According to 14th-century
social historian lbn Khaldun, the Bedouin community owed their success in
battle to osobiyyo or 'group feeling', which enhanced their ability to protect the
group from outsiders. This, along with excellent horsemanship and the rigours
of a harsh lifestyle, based around constant alertness needed to protect
livestock, made them formidable adversaries in war when compared to their
more settled counterparts.
Far from the desert-dwelling Bedouin live a different kind of nomad: the
Moken, or sea gypsies, of the Mergui Archipelago between Myanmar and the
islands of Thailand's North Andaman coast. During the dry season, they live
on traditional houseboats, and during the monsoon season they build
temporary villages on sheltered stretches of beach. Theirs is a culture of
sharing and giving, to the extent that their language contains no words for
individual possessions. These indigenous people have a great understanding
of and respect for their environment, making use of over 80 plant species for
food and more than 100 for shelter, handicrafts and other purposes. However,
the Moken's lifestyle has more recently been affected by government

18
@MultiLevelRecord Abror Rahmatullayev
restrictions on their hunter-gathering activities, and legal disputes over
ownership of their traditional lands. Somewhat inevitably, they have become a
focus for tourism in the area, which they have embraced to some extent as
they try to adapt to the modern world. Nomadic communities exist in Europe
too. In the tundras and taigas of northern Scandinavia live a reindeer-herding
community, the Sami. Originally travelling freely across the areas which now
belong to Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia, this subculture has had its
traditional lifestyle curtailed by the creation of national borders.

For questions 30-33, fill in the missing information in the numbered


spaces. Write no more than ONE WORD and / or A NUMBER for each
question.
Migratory lifestyles 30 ……………… the youth who are eager to have
unplanned travel. Nomadic herders tend to choose their way taking
