A. A group of university students from Brazil have been given the job of discovering and locating all the waterfalls in their country. It is not easy because very often the maps are not detailed. The students have to remain in water for long periods of time. Every day they cover a distance of 35 to 40 kilometers through the jungle, each carrying 40 kilos of equipment. - Difficult taskShopping from homeNew usersShopping in comfortFirst computersRisky sportDigging for the pastProfessional sport

D. Shopping centres are full of all kinds of stores. They are like small, selfcontained towns where you can find everything you want. In a large centre, shoppers can find everything they need without having to go anywhere else.
They can leave their cars in the shopping centre car park and buy everything in a covered complex, protected from the heat, cold or rain. - Difficult taskShopping from homeNew usersShopping in comfortFirst computersRisky sportDigging for the pastProfessional sport
E. Not many people know that, back in the fifties, computers were very big, and also very slow. They took up complete floors of a building, and were less powerful, and much slower than any of today’s compact portable computers. At first, the data they had to process and record was fed in on punched-out paper; later magnetic tape was used, but both systems were completely inconvenient.

F. Potholing is a dull name for a most interesting and adventurous sport. Deep underground, on the tracks of primitive men and strange animals who have adapted to life without light, finding unusual landscapes and underground lakes, the potholer lives an exciting adventure. You mustn’t forget, though, that it can be quite dangerous. Without the proper equipment you can fall, get injured or lost.

Before the Hubble Space Telescope was launched, scientists thought they knew the universe. They were wrong.
The Hubble Space Telescope has changed many scientists’ view of the universe. The telescope is named after American astronomer Edwin Hubble, A - who calculated the speed at which galaxies move.but where it is.which is above Earth’s atmosphere.so it has a clear view of space.which are transmitted to scientists on Earth.which is invisible to the human eye.because many stars are in clouds of gas.
He established that many galaxies exist and developed the first system for their classifications.
In many ways, Hubble is like any other telescope. It simply gathers light.
It is roughly the size of a large school bus. What makes Hubble special is not what it is, B - who calculated the speed at which galaxies move.but where it is.which is above Earth’s atmosphere.so it has a clear view of space.which are transmitted to scientists on Earth.which is invisible to the human eye.because many stars are in clouds of gas.
Hubble was launched in 1990 from the “Discovery” space shuttle and it is about 350 miles above our planet, C - who calculated the speed at which galaxies move.but where it is.which is above Earth’s atmosphere.so it has a clear view of space.which are transmitted to scientists on Earth.which is invisible to the human eye.because many stars are in clouds of gas.

- who calculated the speed at which galaxies move.but where it is.which is above Earth’s atmosphere.so it has a clear view of space.which are transmitted to scientists on Earth.which is invisible to the human eye.because many stars are in clouds of gas.
And what a view it is! Hubble is so powerful it could spot a fly on the moon.
Yet in an average orbit, it uses the same amount of energy as 28 100-watt light bulbs. Hubble pictures require no film. The telescope takes digital images E - who calculated the speed at which galaxies move.but where it is.which is above Earth’s atmosphere.so it has a clear view of space.which are transmitted to scientists on Earth.which is invisible to the human eye.because many stars are in clouds of gas.
Hubble has snapped photos of storms on Saturn and exploding stars. Hubble
doesn’t just focus on our solar system. It also peers into our galaxy and beyond.
Many Hubble photos show the stars that make up the Milky Way galaxy. A galaxy is a city of stars.
Hubble cannot take pictures of the sun or other very bright objects, because doing so could “fry” the telescope’s instruments, but it can detect infrared and ultra violet light F
Some of the sights of our solar system that Hubble has glimpsed may even change the number of planets in it.

The Slob’s Holiday
My husband and I went to Reno for our holiday last year. “Isn’t that place where people go to get a quickie divorce?” asked my second son? ‘Yes’, I said, trying to look enigmatic and interesting. ‘You are not getting divorced, are you?’ he asked bluntly. ‘No,’ I said, ’we are going to an outdoor pursuit trade fair. The children sighed with relief and slouched away, muttering things like ‘boring’. I call them children, but they are all grown up. My eldest son has started to develop fine lines around his eyes – fledgling crow’s feet. A terrible sight for any parent to see. Anyway, the piece isn’t about children. It’s about holidays.
The first thing to be said about holidays is that anybody who can afford one should be grateful. The second thing is that planning holidays can be hard work. In our household it starts with somebody muttering, ’I suppose we ought to think about a holiday.’ This remark is usually made in July and is received glumly, as if the person making it has said ‘I suppose we ought to think about the Bolivian balance of payment problems.’
Nothing much happens for a week and then the potential holiday-makers are rounded up and made to consult their diaries. Hospital appointments are taken into consideration, as are important things to do with work. But other highlights on the domestic calendar, such as the cat’s birthday, are swept aside and eventually two weeks are found. The next decision is the most painful: where?
We travel abroad to work quite a lot but we return tired and weary, so the holiday we are planning is a slob’s holiday: collapse on a sunbed, read a book until the sun goes down, stagger back to hotel room, shower, change into glad rags, eat well, wave good-bye to teenagers, have a last drink on hotel terrace, go to bed and then lie awake and wait for hotel waiters to bring the teenagers from the disco.
I never want to be guided around another monument, as long as I live. I do not want to be told how many bricks it took to build it. I have a short attention span for such details. I do not want to attend a ‘folk evening’ ever, ever again. The kind where men with their trousers tucked into their socks wave handkerchiefs in the direction of women wearing puff-sleeved blouses, long skirts and headscarves.
I also want to live dangerously and get brown. I want my doughy English skin change from white sliced to wheat germ. I like the simple pleasure of removing my watch strap and gazing at the patch of virgin skin beneath.
I don’t want to make new friends – on holidays or in general; I can’t manage the ones I have at home. I do not want to mix with the locals and I have no wish to go into their homes. I do not welcome tourists who come to Leicester into my home. Why should the poor locals in Holidayland be expected to? It’s bad enough that we monopolize their beaches, clog their pavements and spend an hour in a shop choosing a sunhat that costs the equivalent of 75 pence.
So, the slob’s holiday has several essential requirements: a hotel on a sunny beach, good food, a warm sea, nightlife for the teenagers, a big crowd to get lost in, and the absence of mosquitoes.
As I write, we are at the planning stage. We have looked through all the holiday brochures, but they are full of references to ‘hospitable locals’, ‘folk nights’, ‘deserted beaches’, and ‘interesting historical sights’. Not our cup of tea, or glass of sangria, at all.

Tracy
Tracy was as excited as a child about her first trip abroad. Early in the morning, she stopped at a #1 agency and reserved a suite on the Signal Deck of the Queen Elizabeth II. The next three days she spent buying clothes and luggage.
On the morning of the sailing, Tracy hired a limousine to drive her to the pier. When she #2 at Pier 90, where the Queen Elizabeth II was docked, it was crowded with photographers and television reporters, and for a moment Tracy was panic stricken. Then she realized they were interviewing the two men posturing at the foot of the gangplank. The members of the crew were helping the passengers with their luggage. On deck, a steward looked at Tracy’s ticket and #3 her to her stateroom. It was a lovely suite with a private terrace. It had been ridiculously expensive but Tracy #4 it was worth it.

Suddenly she felt the huge ship shudder as the tugs started to pull it out of the harbor, and she stood #6 the passengers on the boat deck, watching the Statue of Liberty slide out of #7, and then she went exploring.
