Linda Greenlaw: SWORDFISH FISHERMAN
Not only does Linda Greenlaw do one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, but she also does it extremely well. She has
been described as ‘one of the best captains on the entire East coast’ and that, in one of the leadingcountries in the fishing
industry, is praise indeed.
Linda was born and brought up on Isle au Haut, a tiny island ten kilometres off the coast of Maine, USA. She fell in love
with fishing as a child, and she worked on fishing boats dining her summer breaks from college.
Her first opportunity to go on a deep-sea fishing trip came when she was nineteen. Alden Leeman, a man she’d never met
before, hired her for thirty days on his swordfishing boat. The trip was a success and eventually Alden offered Linda her first
boat to captain in 1986, which probably made her the only woman ever to captain a swordfishing boat.
So, why did she take up swordfishing in the first place? Linda says that not only does she like the way she feels on a boat,
but she also gets passionate about catching a fish.
More than anything, she’s proud of being a fisherman, even more so than she is of being a best-selling author. Linda has

published four books to date, the first of which, The Hungry Ocean, was top of the New York bestseller list for three months.
In it, Linda tells the story of one fishing trip and narrates the adventures she experienced on board with her five-man crew,
including bad weather, sickness, mechanical problems and, of course, the fish. But the world of fish and fishing is a man’s
world and it’s not easy to find a word to describe Linda Greenlaw. In her own words, she says: ‘I am a woman. I am a
fisherman. I am not a “fisherwoman”, “fisherlady” or “fishergirl”.’

called regeneration - a(n) ...(30)... solution to this ever-growing problem.

Regeneration involves ...(31)... tissue from a plant or animal that has become extinct and ‘bringing it back ...(32)... life’. In

Understandably, experts are over the moon about their success as it shows once and for all that tissue can survive ice
conservation for thousands of years. Those who participated in the regeneration of the flower are pleased and are now hoping
to find prehistoric squirrel tissue or perhaps even ...(34)... tissue from the great woolly mammoth, which could lead to the
resurrection of those two species.

'FEED ME BETTER'
'Feed Me Better' is the name of the campaign run by TV chef, Jamie Oliver, to improve eating habits in British schools.
Jamie is popular with young people all over Britain because of his cookery programmes. His ingredients are fresh, his recipes
are simple, and his meals are absolutely delicious.
So when he found out what Britain's schoolchildren were eating at school, he went on the warpath. He discovered that
school dinners centred around processed food, chips and burgers, and that children were incapable of recognizing basic

improve the dinner menu of a school in Greenwich, London. He was assisted by the school dinner lady, Nora Sands, who was
keen to learn how to give the children a more balanced meal while not exceeding her budget. At the same time as the
programmes were being filmed, Jamie ran a national campaign called 'Feed Me Better' to bring the state of the nation's school
dinners to the attention of the government.


As a result of the 300,000-signature petition that Jamie presented to Prime Minister Tony Blair in the spring of 2005, new
legislation was brought in to control school dinners. Now children are promised two pieces of fruit with their meal, and fizzy
drinks, sweets, chocolate and crisps are banned. Jamie Oliver has shown that it is possible to do something positive for

ANSWERS FROM THE ICE AGE
We are all too well aware that the extinction of animal and plant species is one of the biggest and most horrifying threats ...
(24)... our planet these days. Having said that, there has recently been some good news out of Russia regarding something
called regeneration - a(n) ...(25)... solution to this ever-growing problem.
Regeneration involves ...(26)... tissue from a plant or animal that has become extinct and ‘bringing it back ...(27)... life’. In
recent Russian experiments, scientists took fruit and seeds from the underground burrow of a long-dead Siberian squirrel and
process to regenerate a beautiful flower called the Silene stenophylla. To date, it is the oldest plant to be produced from the
innovative regeneration ...(28)....

Understandably, experts are over the moon about their success as it shows once and for all that tissue can survive ice
conservation for thousands of years. Those who participated in the regeneration of the flower are pleased and are now hoping
to find prehistoric squirrel tissue or perhaps even ...(29)... tissue from the great woolly mammoth, which could lead to the
resurrection of those two species.

Linda Greenlaw: SWORDFISH FISHERMAN
Not only does Linda Greenlaw do one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, but she also does it extremely well. She has
been described as ‘one of the best captains on the entire East coast’ and that, in one of the leadingcountries in the fishing
industry, is praise indeed.
Linda was born and brought up on Isle au Haut, a tiny island ten kilometres off the coast of Maine, USA. She fell in love
with fishing as a child, and she worked on fishing boats dining her summer breaks from college.
Her first opportunity to go on a deep-sea fishing trip came when she was nineteen. Alden Leeman, a man she’d never met
before, hired her for thirty days on his swordfishing boat. The trip was a success and eventually Alden offered Linda her first
boat to captain in 1986, which probably made her the only woman ever to captain a swordfishing boat.
So, why did she take up swordfishing in the first place? Linda says that not only does she like the way she feels on a boat,
but she also gets passionate about catching a fish.
More than anything, she’s proud of being a fisherman, even more so than she is of being a best-selling author. Linda has
published four books to date, the first of which, The Hungry Ocean, was top of the New York bestseller list for three months.
In it, Linda tells the story of one fishing trip and narrates the adventures she experienced on board with her five-man crew,
including bad weather, sickness, mechanical problems and, of course, the fish. But the world of fish and fishing is a man’s
world and it’s not easy to find a word to describe Linda Greenlaw. In her own words, she says: ‘I am a woman. I am a
fisherman. I am not a “fisherwoman”, “fisherlady” or “fishergirl”.’

'FEED ME BETTER'
'Feed Me Better' is the name of the campaign run by TV chef, Jamie Oliver, to improve eating habits in British schools.
Jamie is popular with young people all over Britain because of his cookery programmes. His ingredients are fresh, his recipes
are simple, and his meals are absolutely delicious.
So when he found out what Britain's schoolchildren were eating at school, he went on the warpath. He discovered that
school dinners centred around processed food, chips and burgers, and that children were incapable of recognizing basic
vegetables. So Jamie resolved to do something about it.
He decided to make a TV series called Jamie's School Dinners which showed the successes and failures of his attempt to
improve the dinner menu of a school in Greenwich, London. He was assisted by the school dinner lady, Nora Sands, who was
keen to learn how to give the children a more balanced meal while not exceeding her budget. At the same time as the
programmes were being filmed, Jamie ran a national campaign called 'Feed Me Better' to bring the state of the nation's school
dinners to the attention of the government.
As a result of the 300,000-signature petition that Jamie presented to Prime Minister Tony Blair in the spring of 2005, new
legislation was brought in to control school dinners. Now children are promised two pieces of fruit with their meal, and fizzy
drinks, sweets, chocolate and crisps are banned. Jamie Oliver has shown that it is possible to do something positive for
Britain's schoolchildren instead of just using them to make money.
