the city
The city of Paris has had a selfservice bicycle rental system called
Vélib for a number of years now.
Parisians and visitors can pick up
and drop off bicycles throughout
the city. At the beginning, there
were 750 locations – offering a
total of 10,648 bikes. Now, there
are approximately 1,800 locations
in Paris – every 300 metres! – and
20,000 bikes.
To use the bikes, riders can buy
a one-day card, a weekly card or
an annual card. After buying the
card, riding for the first half hour is
free and after that you pay per half
hour of bike use. You can pay for
the bike at any of the Vélib stations.
Now, throughout the world,
towns and cities are introducing

similar city bike-hire schemes in
order to improve the quality of life
by getting more people cycling.

Vélib in Paris has set an example
for the world’s biggest cities. Now
London, Boston and Montreal all
have their own cycle-hire schemes.
They hope this will reduce car traffic

and make things easier for the
people who live there.
London started in 2010, and now
there are 570 stations and more than
8,000 bikes. The new system was
very popular – there were around
one million cycle rides in the city In
the first ten weeks!

Black Beauty
by Anna Sewell

This is the story of a horse named Black
Beauty, from his early life on an English farm
to his difficult life pulling cabs in London,
and finally his happy retirement in the
country. Along the way, he meets with many
hardships and tells many stories of cruelty and
kindness. Here Black Beauty is working for a
man called Squire Gordon.

A stormy day

O

ne day in autumn Squire Gordon
went on a long journey. John went
with him and I pulled the cart. The
weather was rainy and windy, but we

travelled happily until we came to the old
wooden bridge.
The man at the tollgate told us the river
was rising fast.
“There’s going to be a bad storm tonight,”
he said.
We arrived in the town, but Squire
Gordon’s business took a long time. We
didn’t leave until late afternoon. The wind
was blowing, making a terrible sound.
Suddenly we heard a crack, and a huge tree
fell across the road in front of us. I stopped
still. I was shaking with fear, but I did not
turn round or run away.
“We must go back to the crossroads,” said
John, “and drive six miles to the wooden
bridge.”
When we got there it was nearly dark.
There was water on the middle of the
bridge, but the Squire did not stop. As
soon as my feet touched the bridge I knew
that something was wrong. I stopped dead.
“Go on, Beauty,” said the Squire.
“There’s something wrong, sir,” said John.
He got out and tried to lead me forward.

❯

“Come on, Beauty,” he said. But I knew
that the bridge was not safe.

Just then the man saw us. “Hey there!
Stop!” he cried.
“What is it?” shouted the Squire.
“The bridge is broken in the middle,” he
answered. “If you go on to it, you are all
going to drown in the river.”
“Thank God!” said the Squire. “Thank
you, Beauty!” said John.
We turned around and went along the road
by the river. For a long time no one said
anything. Then John said: “Black Beauty
saved our lives. He knew the bridge was
dangerous.”
When we returned home the Squire told
Mrs Gordon, “We are all safe, thanks to
Black Beauty!”
That night I had good food to eat and a
comfortable bed of straw. And I was glad,
because I was very tired.

A life in movies:

George
Lucas

George Lucas is one of the most famous people in the film
business. He has worked as a film director, producer and
writer. And he has even acted in his own films!

H

ave you seen any Star Wars
films yet? Most people have,
because this film series is one of
the most famous in film history.
George Lucas is the creator of
the series, with all their amazing
special effects. Together with his
good friend and fellow director,
Steven Spielberg, he also created
the Indiana Jones films. All these
films have been huge box-office
successes. The Star War series, for
example, has become the third
biggest-selling series in history. The
first film came out in 1977, but the
Star Wars series hasn’t finished yet.
More films have just been made.
George Lucas was born in 1944, in
California. When he was a teenager,
he loved cars and motor racing. In
fact, before he became interested
in film making, he wanted to be
a racing car driver. His love for
racing cars has already featured in

Did you know?

preparation of a film and gets the

a film – American Graffiti. It’s about
teenagers growing up in the 60s –
and cars!
Lucas went to university and
studied film arts. His first Star Wars
film was a huge success, but he
wasn’t ready to stop yet. He went
on to make another film in the

series every three years. He has
been an important influence on
special effects technology, as these
films show. Even though special
effects get better and better all the
time, the Star Wars films are still

some of the greatest examples of
this art.

Writing A film review

Read the film review and complete the information below.

Last week I watched Dr No on TV. It was the first James Bond film and it was made in 1962.
It stars Sean Connery as James Bond. It is set in Jamaica where Bond goes to investigate
the death of another British agent. He finds that a scary character called Dr. No is planning
to destroy American space rockets from his secret base.
I like this film because the actors are very good. Ursula Andress plays the first Bond girl,
and she is excellent. Joseph Wiseman is the baddie, Dr No.
If you haven’t seen Dr. No yet, then you should! I recommend it because this is the first

James Bond film – and if you like Bond films, then you’ll love it.

Bicycles have come a long way!
The first bicycles were built in the 1800s. They had iron and wood frames, wooden 1..................... and rubber
tyres. Over the years, bicycle design, materials, components such as gears and brakes and manufacturing
2
..................... have all improved and now modern technology means cycling has become high-tech.
Today’s bicycles are made of space-age materials like 3..................... and carbon fibre which means they are
much lighter and 4..................... than the early iron and wooden models. Other developments like multi
5
..................... allow cyclists to go faster as well as to climb much steeper hills. Cyclists can now reach speeds
of 110 km per hour while descending 6..................... roads.
Bicycle styles have changed too and there is now a large choice of specialised bikes – road bikes, touring
bikes, mountain bikes, cruiser bikes, BMX bikes and tandems.
In recent times, high-tech gadgets and 7..................... components have changed the way cyclists ride as well.
There are new wheels, gear-shifting systems, heart-rate and performance monitors, apps, helmet video
8
..................... and more. So, off you go. Happy cycling!
