Part 5:
Read the text and use no more than three words and/or a number to answer each of the following
questions.
What’s in a name?
Last year, as I was travelling through Australia, I often stopped at places with strange or unusual
names: names like Murwillumbah and Waterloo. I often asked myself, ‘Where do all these names come

from? And what can we learn from them?’ Local people sometimes knew the answer and sometimes they
didn’t, so I decided to look at these place names more closely and found out some interesting facts.
Many place names give us a clue because they describe physical characteristics, like ‘big hill’, ‘dry
desert’, or ‘tall tree’. Thousands of years ago, this is how the first Australians - the Aborigines - named
places. Today, in Australia, there are thousands of places with Aboriginal names, towns like Murwillumbah
(good campsite), Nambucca (entrance to the sea), Bondi Beach from the world ‘Boondi’ (the sound of water
falling over rocks) and Uluru (big rock).
The Europeans had different ideas. When they first arrived in 1606, they wanted to make this strange
new land feel like home. How did they do it? Well, they borrowed names from the country they came from it showed that these places belonged to them. French and Dutch place names like Bougainville and Arnhem
Land started to appear along the Australian coast. Then, in 1770, the English explorer Captain Cook arrived
in Botany Bay. Soon, there was Melbourne, a town named after a British Prime Minister, and Waterloo,
named after a famous battle between England and France.

Part 5:
Read the text and use no more than three words and/or a number to answer each of the following
questions.
Strange buildings
The Shoe House
Along the Lincoln Highway, near a small town in the state of Pennsylvania, you can see one of the
strangest, funniest, most unusual buildings in the US. It’s the Shoe House. It looks exactly like a gigantic
shoe, but, at almost eight metres high, it’s a lot bigger than any ordinary shoe or boot! These days, it’s a
museum and ice-cream shop but, unbelievably, it was once someone’s home.
Unsurprisingly, perhaps, a boot and shoe manufacturer built the house in 1948 because he wanted a
home that was also an advertisement for his business. He gave one of his boots to a local architect and said,
‘Build me a house like this!’ Fortunately, the architect knew exactly what to do, and designed a five-storey,
three-bedroomed house. At first, the owner decided to make a home in his wonderful new building, but then
he moved into another house - it wasn’t comfortable or luxurious enough for a successful businessman!
After he left, he invited old people to stay in the house for luxury weekends. The people had a maid, a
cook, and a driver to look after them! And everyone got a free pair of shoes when they left!
The Toilet-shaped House
This is the weirdest house in South Korea. In 2007, the mayor of the city of Suwon decided to
construct a two-storey mansion which looked exactly like an enormous toilet. And naturally there is a big
7


hole in the top! It cost over a million dollars to build and is one of the most expensive homes in the city. It is
also one of the best for the environment as the house has some of the world’s best technology for saving
water. It also has a roof-top balcony, and, of course, it has four of the most elegant bathrooms you can
imagine, including a large, glass-walled bathroom right at the centre of the house.
The mayor didn’t build the house to show off. He had a political reason for spending all that money
on something so strange. The first important meeting of the World Toilet Association (or WTA. took place at
the house, and both the mayor and the WTA wanted to bring attention to the fact that two billion people in

the world don’t have a toilet. Building a huge toilet in the shape of a house is a great way of doing that!
Following the death of the mayor, the house is now a museum and it teaches people about the history
of toilets. And, if you think that’s funny, wait until you hear the name of the house. In Korean, it’s called
Haewoojae. In English, that means ‘a peaceful place where you don’t have to worry about things’. Isn’t that
the perfect name for a house - and a toilet?!
1. What do people sell in the Shoe House?
………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
2. How many floors are there in the house?

3. When did the old people stay in the house?

Part 5:
Read the text and use no more than three words and/or a number to answer each of the following
questions.
India
Everybody knows that India is a huge country with an enormous population (there are around 1.2
billion people in India! They also know that it has noisy, crowded cities, hot, spicy food, and some
wonderful, historical sites, such as the Taj Mahal, a beautiful, white palace which a sultan built because he
wanted to remember his wife, a princess who died when she still a young woman.
There are, however, lots of surprising things about India, too. I’ve just returned from my first trip to
the country, and in this blog, I want to write about some of the things I found out. Did you know, for
example, that India is a great place to go if you love music festivals? And I don't mean traditional music.
More than half of India’s population is under twenty-five and they love pop and rock music. That’s why there
are so many festivals, a few of which take place in unusual locations such as in deserts or on the sides of
mountains. Major Indian cities are becoming popular places for international stars to play, and there is so
much local musical talent that there is always a live concert on somewhere.
I was also amazed to find out that there are between one and two thousand ‘marriage detectives’ in
the country. A lot of marriages are arranged by families in India, and it’s important to them to find out as
much as they can about the person who their son or daughter is going to marry, so sometimes families hire a
detective who checks that their son or daughter’s future husband or wife is telling the truth about their family,
their job and how much money they have.
Indians also have a surprising view of beauty. One of my Indian friends told me that I had put on
weight when I met her for coffee on my second day in the country. I was surprised, but she wasn’t being
rude. In India, people think that gaining weight is a sign of looking healthy and more beautiful. In fact, if you

are very slim, Indian people worry about you! I think it’s good that Indians aren’t always worried about being
thin, like many Europeans are. However, these days, a lot of young people are overweight because people
there are really keen on fast food.
In India, it seems as if everyone reads newspapers. In Europe, young people prefer going online to
find out about the world. In India, however, the opposite is true. More and more people are learning to read
and they are then getting well-paid jobs which mean they can afford to buy newspapers. As a result,
newspapers have never been more popular. I was really surprised! In my next blog, I’ll share more
10


fascinating facts about India. What do you know about the country?
1. What color is the Taj Mahal?
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
2. Who did Sultan want to remember?
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
3. What kind of music is popular in India?

4. Who is going to check on the new bride/groom?

5. What is the sign of beauty in India?

6. Is newspaper popular in India?

Eyewitness account: Scott’s Hut

Brita Harding is a scientist and she's been in Antarctica for five weeks. She is working in a small
building called Scott's Hut and helping to preserve it. The British explorer Captain Robert Scott used the but
as a base camp in 1911.
The Antarctic is the driest, coldest and windiest continent in the world. It's dark for six months of the
year and not many animals live here, apart from penguins. There are no native people like the Inuits, and
tourists never stop off to explore. Its easy to understand why. It isn't the best place to live and work and it's
freezing at the moment -we've had temperatures of -73°C since Monday!
Every day, I go down to Ross Island and work in Scott's Hut with other scientists. Inside there are
books, wooden skis, biscuits, penguins' eggs and many other interesting things. All these things have been
here for a hundred years and they're completely frozen. That's why we want to save the hut - it brings Scott's
expedition to life!
The race to the South Pole is a famous story. Captain Scott and a Norwegian explorer called Roald
Amundsen both wanted to get there first. They both prepared for many months, but in the end their
expeditions were very different: Amundsen used dogs to pull his sleds and Scott used motorized sleds and
horses. Amundsen had good weather during his expedition, but Scott had bad weather. When Scott's team set
out from the but on 1 November 1911, there were terrible snow storms and the sleds broke down. After a few
weeks, the horses died and most of his team turned back. In the end, only five men carried on to the South
Pole: Scott, Oates, Evans, Bowers and Wilson.

Part 5:
Read the text and use no more than three words and/or a number to answer each of the following
questions.
The importance of pets
When they were asked, six million people in Britain said they own a pet cat. That's strange, as only
four million cats are known to be living in Britain! Perhaps some cats have more than one owner. What's
clear however, is that cats are popular with people in Britain.
Doctors have known for some time that a link exists between animals and human health. In a special
report, they express the importance of pets to people in Britain. They say that pet owners are less likely to
have a heart attack than people who do not own a pet. Also, people who do not keep a pet have a 20 per cent
greater chance of having a weak heart than those who do. This is especially true of people who live alone.
Although the favourite pets in Britain are cats and dogs, doctors think that all pets are good for
people's health, even pet goldfish! What is the reason for this? Doctors believe that people need to have
someone or something to care for and take care of. Then they don't think about themselves so much. They
forget their own problems and thus feel better.
Animals are known to have a good effect on hospital patients too. In one hospital, several animals
were brought to be with some cancer patients. These patients had been given drugs but had not got better.
However, after a few days with the animals, they showed signs of improving. A few even recovered
completely!

Part 5:

questions.
To toot, to cut the cheese, or to fart are all funny ways to talk about something that everyone does:
passing gas! A normal person passes about half a liter of gas a day, which equals about 14 farts per day. Lots

of people are embarrassed by passing gas, but there is no need to feel this way. The first step is to admit that
everyone does it. After you face up to this fact, then you can really enjoy learning some interesting facts
about your gas.
There are several sources of gas. Gas in our intestines has to do with both the air we swallow and the
gas molecules in our blood. In addition, gas is also produced from chemical reactions and bacteria living in
our intestines. Nervous people usually have more gas for two reasons. They swallow more air when they get
nervous, and food usually goes through their digestive systems faster, which means that the oxygen in the
food cannot be absorbed quickly enough. Therefore, the oxygen naturally found in the food goes into the
intestines and becomes gas.
Another interesting fact is that a person’s diet affects the stinkiness of his or her 15 gas. Foods with a
lot of sulfur in them--such as eggs, meat, and cauliflower - cause stinkier gas. On the other hand, beans cause
a lot of gas, but this gas isn’t usually stinky because beans aren’t high in sulfur. However, they do contain a
lot of sugars that bacteria in the intestines love. The bacteria eat the sugars and produce gas. Finally, people
wonder, “Where does gas go when you hold it in? Is this held gas harmful?” Well, this gas will not poison
you, but you may get a bad stomachache from the pressure. The gas that you hold in is neither released nor
absorbed. It moves back up into the intestines and sooner or later comes out. It is not lost, just delayed. Now
that you know some facts about gas, be proud of yourself and say, “Yes, I cut the cheese!”
