XI. You are going to read an article about a sailing race. Choose the most suitable heading from the
list A - H for each paragraph from 1 – 5 of the article. There are two extra headings which you do

Paragraph 0: D
A. The consequences of poor performance
E. Benefiting from the power of nature
B. An unexpectedly demanding way of life
F. Cooperating to overcome the power of nature
C. A solution that seems to work
G. It’s not what people think
D. The terrible consequences of making a
H. No way out if you don’t like it
mistake
Paragraph 0:
Imagine for a moment, spending the night on board of a large yacht, being roughly woken in the
pitch dark and ordered on deck. Every so often you will be totally drenched, very suddenly, in salt water.
You will be sharing the same cramped space with 14 other people for a whole year. Your stomach, when not
affected by seasickness, will be hit by the competitive tension and nervousness that afflicts all sportspeople.
You will be obliged to concentrate without cease. The slightest loss of focus could cost someone their life.
Paragraph 1:
For the eight crews taking part in the Round-the-world yachting race, this has been daily life since
they left Britain eleven months ago. Now, after racing 50,000 across kilometers of ocean, they are soon due
home. While most of us have worked, slept, taken a holiday, these crews have sailed and sailed, day after
day, night after night, in weather conditions that would test any human. This is the reality of ocean yacht
racing, which bears little resemblance to the popular image of sailing - the quick sprint around a lake before
returning ashore for a meal and a warm bath.
Paragraph 2:

Racing 20-metre yachts around the world is a story of unrelenting hard work, pushing yourself to the
limits of endurance. But it is also a story of the vastness and beauty of the sea, of seeing the sun rise and set
on hundreds of desolate horizons, and of the supreme satisfaction of arriving somewhere knowing that wind
alone has taken you there.
Paragraph 3:
Unlike the captains, who are professional sailors, the crews all consist of amateur volunteers who
have actually paid for the privilege of taking a year off from their work and enduring these difficult
conditions. On board London Light the ages range from 21 to 65. For the youngest member, Susan Porter,
the trip is about the excitement of both the racing and the elements “Being able to pitch yourselves as a
team against a storm gives you a huge sense of achievement”, she says
Paragraph 4:
Jerry Wallace, a marketing director, found sailing a refreshing change from the selfish individualism
of business. Although he was prepared for the discomfort, the mental stress of long distance racing was not
what he has anticipated, “A grand Prix driver has a few hours of focus, a footballer 90 minutes, but we have
been racing for 11 months. This is something I didn’t really appreciate before I start.”
Paragraph 5:
Inevitably, there are tensions. The kind of people who choose to take part in races like this tend to
motivated and strong-willed. On a trivial level, there are the usual arguments about things like cleaning,
tidying, personal hygiene, even the way people snore. Row on a boat must be addressed immediately. Left
to develop, they get much worse. On London Light they have done this by having a meeting where
problems can be discussed and resolved by majority vote. Cooperation is the key, and everyone can have
their say. The London is one of the few boats that has never lost any crew early because of a personality
clash.
Your answers:
1. _______
2. _______
3. _______
4. _______
5. ________
