Reading
The War of the Worlds
Perhaps you’ve seen the 2005 film The War of the
Worlds. It tells the story of an attack on the Earth by
aliens from Mars, and it stars Tom Cruise. But the
story The War of the Worlds is much older than the
Tom Cruise film.
• The British writer H.G. Wells wrote The War of
the Worlds in 1898. It was one of the first
science fiction books. In the story, the aliens
attacked Britain. They destroyed a lot of British
cities, including London.

•

Four decades later, an American actor and
director called Orson Welles used HG Wells’
story for a radio play. The start of the play was
like an ordinary radio music programme, but the
end was like a news report. In the play, reporters
described a terrible attack by aliens. Only one
reporter survived. At the end of the play, he was
alone on the top of a building. Many listeners
panicked because they thought that the play

was a real news report. They grabbed clothes
and money and ran into the streets. They wanted
to escape the aliens.
In 1952, Hollywood made the first film called
The War of the Worlds. In this film, aliens
attacked California.
There was also a musical version of The War of
the Worlds. Jeff Wayne, an American from New
York, wrote the music for a double album in
1978. It tells the story in words and music. You
can still buy the album on CD today.

There’s been a mistake!

➒

Last week, Bill Jackson went into a supermarket
to buy some milk and some eggs. When he
went to the fridge to get the milk, he noticed
an old woman. She was walking slowly and
pushing a heavy trolley. The trolley was full of
shopping. She smiled at Bill as she went past,
and Bill smiled at her. Then he went to find the
eggs.
When Bill turned the corner, he saw the
same woman again. She was trying to get a
packet of soap off a shelf, but she couldn’t
reach it.
‘Can I help you?’ asked Bill.
‘Yes, please,’ said the woman. ‘I want one of
those packets of soap on the top shelf, but the
shelf is too high for me. Could you get it for
me, please?’
Bill isn’t very tall, but he reached up and
managed to get the packet of soap for her.
Then they walked together towards the checkout. Bill pushed the woman’s trolley for her,
and she walked beside him.
At the check-out, they stood and talked
together like old friends. ‘I’ve bought plenty of
food today and I’ve got some lovely presents

for the family, too,’ the woman said. ‘I’m so

pleased that you could help me.’ Bill smiled as
she left the shop with three big bags of
shopping.
Bill didn’t smile when he gave his eggs and
milk to the girl at the check-out. She told him
to pay £94! ‘There’s been a mistake!’ he said,
and he pointed at his two things. ‘Oh, no,’ said
the girl. ‘The lady hasn’t paid for her shopping.
You’re going to pay. That’s what she said. If you
don’t pay now, I’ll call the manager.’

Read the text and answer the questions.

Polar bears in danger
Polar bears live around the Arctic Ocean, in
Alaska, northern Canada and Russia. They’re
beautiful wild animals, and they’re the biggest
land predators on Earth. Sadly, they’re also
endangered animals.

➒

Read the text and choose the correct answer.
1 Polar bears usually catch seals …
a when they swim under water.
b at holes in the ice.
c on land.
2 The weather around the Arctic Ocean has
become …
a worse.
b colder.
c warmer.
3 Fifty years ago, there …

a was more ice.
b weren’t many seals.
c wasn’t much ice.

➓

5 Because polar bears are hungry, they’ve been …
a looking for other types of food.
b eating more meat.
c eating other sea creatures.

c may attack them.

U ni t 5 - 6 P r o gr e ss t e s t

A new report says that the amount of ice in the
Arctic has become more than 25% smaller in
the past half-century. As a result, the bears are
hungry. They have started to come into towns
to look for food. Some polar bears have even
entered houses! People in Arctic towns must be
very careful because bears can attack and kill
humans. In the small, isolated Canadian town of

Churchill, parents are now taking their children
to school to give them protection from attacks
by bears.
Polar bears are very big and very fierce, but
they're also very beautiful creatures. Protecting
the polar bears’ Arctic habitat is important for
bears and people.

4 In spring it’s now …
a easier for bears to hunt seals.
b harder for bears to hunt seals.
c impossible to find any seals.

VOCABULARY

Seals are polar bears’ main food. Polar bears are
endangered because it’s becoming more difficult
for them to catch the seals. The bears wait on
the frozen Arctic Ocean and catch the seals
when they come up through holes in the ice.
They can only reach the seals when the sea is
frozen, but the world’s weather is changing.
World temperatures are getting higher, and the
sea ice in the Arctic is getting thinner. In
summer, the bears can’t walk over the ice, and
so they can’t catch seals. Spring ice is also
getting thinner, so it’s becoming harder to catch
seals in spring, too.

Reading
A £2 million secret
What would you do if you won the lottery? Would you tell your friends? Some lottery
winners don’t want the newspapers to know their names, but they usually share the news
with their families and friends. But one winner hasn’t told anyone. We interviewed her last
week. We can’t tell readers the woman’s real name, so we've called her ‘Nicola’.
Nicola has got a fortune in the bank, but no one knows about it. She won £2 million in the
lottery three months ago, but she didn’t want the money to change her life, so she didn’t
tell anyone: not even her husband! Nicola didn’t want to tell him because she didn’t want
him to leave his job. Nicola’s husband didn’t use to work. He stayed at home for nearly
four years and watched TV all day! Eventually he found a job, and now he’s a much nicer
and happier person. ‘That’s why I decided not to tell him about the money,’ Nicola said. ‘I

was afraid it would change our lives. He would have used the lottery money as an
opportunity to stop work again. I don’t want him to be lazy and unhappy again. I didn’t
want to ruin the life that we’ve got now.’
So how does Nicola keep her secret? Nicola still has a job, but now she doesn’t go to work
every day. She tells her husband that she's doing more of her work at home. The family go
out together a lot more and they've got new clothes. She pretends that she's managed to
save the money for these things.
‘Are you happy?’ we asked her. ‘Yes,’ Nicola answered. 'I don’t have to worry about money
now, and that’s nice. But nothing else has changed. Sometimes I buy things secretly, but I
don’t spend a lot of money. We don’t need glamorous clothes and expensive holidays.’

Reading
Selling the Mona Lisa
In 1911, a con man called Eduardo de Valfierno
thought of a plan to steal the world-famous
painting, the Mona Lisa. He also planned to sell
six copies of it to six different people!
In Paris, Valfierno found a very talented forger
called Yves Chaudron. He asked Chaudron to
paint six copies of the Mona Lisa. When he had
finished, these six copies headed for the USA.
When the forgeries had left France, Valfierno
set out to steal the real painting. He hired a
burglar called Vincenzo Perugia. Perugia
pretended to be a worker at the Louvre
Museum. He easily took the Mona Lisa off the
wall. Nobody asked him any questions.
Valfierno paid Perugia plenty of money, and he
told Perugia he could keep the real painting.
Valfierno only wanted the world to know it had

been stolen. He wanted to sell the forgeries to
six buyers, who all thought they were getting
the real painting. It was a brilliant plan! None
of the six buyers got professional advice about
their painting. If they had asked experts to look
at it, they would have known they had bought
a forgery.

➒

Valfierno probably earned more than two
million dollars by selling his six forgeries.
Perugia, the thief, made a mistake. He tried to
sell the real painting. He was arrested and
sent to prison. The real Mona Lisa was
eventually returned to the Louvre. Valfierno
continued his life of crime, and the six buyers
never said a word!
