A. THE TWO TOP SUNTAN MYTHS
Everything about the sun is bad for you
We hear so much about how (0) __________ (danger) UV rays are that you‟d be forgiven for thinking
that (1) ________ (stay) indoors all summer was good for you! But there are plenty of (2) __________
(use) things about being out in the sunshine too. A 15-minute (3) __________ (day) stroll in the sun will
provide enough vitamin D to build strong bones.
This vitamin also boosts the immune system, preventing infections such as colds.
(4) __________ (sun) days also help increase the level of a brain chemical called serotonin, which puts
you in a good mood. If you are (5) __________ (careful) enough (avoiding the hottest times of the day
and using the appropriate sunscreen), the sun can actually help you get rid of some skin problems as well.
One bottle of sunscreen will be enough for the two of you on a 10-day holiday
Not if you apply the amount used during testing in laboratories to achieve the level of (6) __________
(protect) stated on the bottle. Experts say you should take one 400ml bottle of sunscreen per person for
every 10 days of your holiday. Sunscreen should be applied 15 minutes before going out in the sun and
then reapplied (7) __________ (frequent) and always after swimming. If you are using a spray, your skin
should be completely (8) __________ (cover) before you rub it in. And don‟t forget the (9) ________
(hide) places such as the soles of your feet and behind your ears.

B. THE MONA LISA
The Mona Lisa was one of Leonardo's (0) __________ (favour) paintings, and he carried it with him until
his (1) __________ (die). Today, it is regarded as the most (2) __________ (fame) painting in the world,
and is (3) __________ (visit) by many thousands of people every year.
Whose is this (4) __________ (please) face? Throughout the centuries many (5) __________ (suggest)
have been made, but the most likely candidate is Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a Florentine silk merchant.
Another more unlikely - but popular - theory is that the painting was a self portrait. There are (6)
__________ (certain) similarities between the (7) __________ (express) of the Mona Lisa and that of the
artist's self portrait painted many years later. Could this be why Leonardo gave the subject such a
mysterious smile?
Today, the Mona Lisa looks rather dull, in dark shades of brown and yellow. (8) __________ (probable)
this is due to a special layer covering the paint, which has yellowed over the years. It is possible that the
painting was once brighter and more (9) __________ (colour) than it is now.
The Mona Lisa was stolen from the Louvre in 1911. The thief was caught by the police two years later,
and the painting was safely returned.

C. PARROT KEPT INDOORS
It is proving to be a social (0) __________ (embarrass) for the Warwickshire Wildlife Sanctuary in
Nuneaton that one of their parrots has a rather (1) __________ (colour) vocabulary.
Barney, a five-year-old macaw parrot, has no respect for authority. He has used dirty words in front of

(work) what he thought of them.
Sanctuary volunteer Stacey Clark said Barney once belonged to a lorry (3) __________ (drive).
"We tend to keep him indoors, away from the public. But everybody seems to accept his behaviour with a
(4) __________ (smile)," she said. "He has got a lot of character and he does say thank you when he gets
a treat so he can be polite. He is (5) __________ (cheer) and very friendly, too."
Some of the sayings he likes to repeat include "hello big boys" and "where have you been?"
But his (6) __________ (favour) words are mainly unrepeatable. Geoff Green, the (7) __________ (own)
of Wildlife Sanctuary, said he had one rude word which he especially liked to say over and over again.
He added he had seen neighbours and passers-by duck and look around (8) __________ (surprise) when
they passed the window and heard the swearing from within. "He only seems to swear when you don't
want him to," he added. "We usually keep him inside, away from any (9) __________ (visit). He seems to
know which people he shouldn't swear in front of and so he goes and does so." Barney was given to the

tools – tell (0) __________ (anthropology) a lot. And sometimes even their words survive.
Experts believe that a (1) __________ (discover) in Mexico is the oldest example of writing ever found in
the Americas. The people who created it (2) __________ (probable) lived 3,000 years ago, long before
Christopher Columbus arrived in the New World.
Digging in a stone mine, (3) __________ (work) noticed a stone block with marks carved onto its surface.
They found the large piece of stone in Cascajal, Mexico, near the capital city of an ancient people called
the Olmec. "There are signs on the block that seem to show (4) __________ (religion) objects they used.
For example, there is a sign that looks like a throne," an expert says. "It is (5) __________ (excite)
because it makes it clear that the Olmec could read and write." But experts don‟t know (6) __________
(exact) what the writing says. If you have ever tried to figure out a message (7) __________ (write) in
code, you have a pretty good idea of the hard work ahead. Finding other examples of Olmec writing could
help crack the code.

G. SUPERSTITIONS: FRIDAY THE 13TH – UNLUCKY FOR YOU?
Do you believe in good luck and bad luck? Are you (0) __________ (superstition)? And, if so, how do
you go about avoiding bad luck? And what do you do to (1) __________ (sure) good luck?
One person in four in Britain is, (2) __________ (apparent), superstitious, and they‟ll do everything from
hanging horseshoes over their fireplace to (3) ________ (cross) their fingers, touching wood and (4)
__________ (absolute) never walking under a ladder. And they are (5) __________ (care) about cats.
Black cats are supposed to be (6) __________ (relate) of witches or warlocks, so if one is following you,
it‟s (7) __________ (definite) bad luck!
On the other hand if one crosses your path and continues then it‟s good luck because it hasn‟t noticed you.
However, in some places the (8) __________ (believe) are different – so it pays to know where your
black cat comes from.
Superstitions are also a subject for research by Dr. Richard Wiseman at the University of Hertfordshire.
He believes that some people actually want to be (9) __________ (lucky), because it helps them to avoid
taking (10) __________ (responsible) for their own failings. It‟s easier to say „I failed the exam because I
had bad luck again‟ than to admit that you didn‟t work (11) __________ (hard) enough. „It‟s a way of
copping out‟, he said.

H. "GREEN" BUILDINGS MAY HELP SAVE ENVIRONMENT
These days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. “Green” building can also refer
to (0) __________ (environment) friendly houses, factories, and offices. Green building means reducing
the impact of the building on the land.
Green buildings can reduce energy and water use. Also, the buildings are often located near public (1)
__________ (transport) such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be
good for the environment, because cars use lots of (2) __________ (nature) resources, such as gasoline,
and cause (3) __________ (pollute).
Green buildings are often built on (4) __________ (previous) developed land, so that the buildings don't
destroy forests or other wild habitats.
The first green (5) __________ (resident) high-rise building in the U.S. is called the Solaire. Its project
(6) __________ (manage) says: "We've reduced our energy (7) __________ (consume) by one-third and
our water by 50 percent."
The Solaire cuts energy in part by using solar power. On the face of the building there are panels. They
absorb the sun's energy and convert it to (8) __________ (electric). The Solaire also has lights that (9)
__________ (automatic) turn off when people leave the room. Plus, the building has lots of windows.
This allows people to use the sun for light instead of lamps during the day.

I. WHY WE’VE ALL TURNED OFF BIG BROTHER
As a student of body language I usually enjoy Big Brother because it is free of the artificiality of acted,
(0) __________ (script) roles. These are real people, not particularly (1) __________ (talent), brought in
off the street to represent our culture.
This year, however, I have found it (2) __________ (hard) to watch. The people (3) __________ (select)
appear to have been carefully chosen for their unpleasantness, vanity and exhibitionism. The idea, (4)
__________ (obvious), was that if a group of appalling and aggressive people were brought together,
there would be fireworks – and that has indeed been the case.
Analysing more deeply why I (5) __________ (like) this year‟s Big Brother so much, I came to the (6)
__________ (conclude) that it was not, after all, primarily the coarseness, ignorance and immorality of
the (7) __________ (participate) that upset me, but rather their lack of (8) __________ (warm) and
kindness.
In the past, we have all watched and enjoyed comedies in which the characters are at times rude or
ignorant, but we forgive them because somewhere just beneath the surface the scriptwriters have endowed
them with (9) __________ (generous) of spirit and kindheartedness.
By (10) __________ (compare), some of this year‟s housemates were downright disgusting.

L. A REAL MONSTER OF THE DEEP
Sea monsters living in the (0) __________ (deep) of the ocean may not be the stuff of fantasy after all. (1)
__________ (mystery) sounds have been detected in the ocean that (2) __________ (science) believe
could be evidence of large, unidentified sea (3) __________ (create). The sounds were first picked up in
1997 by underwater listening stations set up by the US Navy to monitor Russian submarines. A single
noise registered on sensors 3,000 miles apart, making it far louder than any other (4) __________ (know)
animal noise, including the calls made by whales. In the past, strange sounds picked up by the system
have been attributed to ocean currents, volcanic (5) __________ (active) or earthquakes under the seabed.
But researchers believe that this particular sound is made by a living (6) __________ (organ) because its
acoustic “signature” bears all the hallmarks of a marine animal‟s call.
One (7) __________ (possible) is that it could belong to a giant squid - like the (8) __________ (legend)
Kraken - which is known to live at extreme depths but has never been observed alive. “We don‟t have any
clue whether the giant squid makes any noise or not,” Christopher Fox, director of the Acoustic
Monitoring Project, told us, “but if it does, that may explain the sound.”

present it as her idea so she feels more in control.

wanted mosaics, she wanted flowery tiles. (10)__________ (lucky), I won. I think the pink bedroom is
