15. Match the names of the famous women in British history with the descriptions of their lives and activities.

1) Elizabeth I	A) Historians may disagree on the help or harm that she gave to the women’s suffrage movement, but few doubt she was one of its most inspirational figureheads. After years working for votes for women, but with little success, she, helped by her daughter Christabel, established the Women’s Social and Political Union as a militant wing of the women’s movement. Their campaign of window-smashing, arson and violent demonstrations led to regular arrests, hunger strikes and brutal force feeding, which inevitably drew mixed public reaction. On the outbreak of war in 1914, she suspended the campaign, encouraging women to put their efforts into war work instead. After peace was signed, women over 30 were granted the vote, and shortly before her death the age was reduced to 21, to match men’s votes.
2) Florence Nightingale	B) She is most celebrated British woman novelist. The story of her life in rural Chawton and fashionable Bath has been told times over; and her subject, as every reader knows, was the “truth, universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife”. But while Regency London’s high society might be led by libertines, her demure heroines know full well that even a runaway romance which ended in marriage, like Lydia Bennet’s, brought shame and destroyed her sisters’ hopes of finding husbands. From ‘Pride and Prejudice’ and ‘Emma’ to ‘Persuasion’, it is her genius to observe, and sometimes satirise, their attention to status, manners and reputation.
3)  Margaret Thatcher	C) As Britain’s first female prime minister (1979), her place in history is rightly guaranteed. Yet it is her 11 consecutive years as PM, unmatched in the 20th century, and her role as the first woman leader of a major Western democracy, that made her one of the most dominant figures in politics. As leader of the Conservative Party, her pro-privatisation policy and public-spending cuts naturally brought her into open conflict with trade unions and socialists, earning her the nickname “the Iron Lady”. With victory in the Falklands War and her narrow escape from an IRA bomb in Brighton, her popularity soared and, in 1987, she won a then unprecedented third general election. But her Euro-sceptic and Poll Tax policies had caused division in her cabinet and, in 1990, she was forced to resign as party leader.
4) Emmeline Pankhurst	D) The most famous woman in the recent British history. She is also the first of three queens not born to rule but nonetheless outstanding monarchs. She escaped the disgrace of her mother, Queen Anne Boleyn (executed by her father, King Henry VIII), then survived the politically dangerous reigns of her brother, King Edward VI, and her sister Queen Mary. Eventually inheriting the throne herself, she emerged a powerful ruler, adept at boosting her popularity by “progressing” around the country and playing up her image as “the Virgin Queen”.
5) Jane Austin	E) The first woman to hold the Order of Merit and appear on a UK banknote, she was a national treasure before she was 40. Her pioneering work tending British troops in the Crimean War earned her the thanks of a grateful nation. The money raised in appreciation funded her nurses’ training school at London’s St Thomas’s Hospital, and from there her influence and principles spread worldwide. Despite her own ill health she devoted the rest of her long life to improving sanitation and health care, not without a reputation for bossiness. Yet her popular image remains that of a “ministering angel”, as The Times’ war correspondent put it, paying night time visits to the wounded soldiers. Every year, her birthday in May is marked at Westminster Abbey and East Wellow church, in Hampshire, where she was buried.
F) She is the second queen who came to the throne by default, when her royal uncles, King George IV and King William IV, failed to produce a surviving legitimate heir. Crowned in 1838, her initial limited grasp of constitutional matters was soon supplemented by her husband, Prince Albert (whose death in 1861 left her in mourning for the rest of her life); and her favourite prime ministers, Lord Melbourne and Disraeli. With their help, and the colonising power of British forces and trading companies, she became the most powerful woman in the world. At home, her scandal-free private life made royalty respectable, after the racy behaviour of her uncles.

16. Read the text and put the sentences after the text in correct order.

LOVE IS BLIND

Hi, Lang!

I’m going to write to you in English from now on because we both need the practice. Thanks for your email. I’m sorry I didn’t write back to you before now, but I started school the day after we arrived in Boston and I’ve been too busy. I hate it here. I can’t understand a word that anyone says to me. Their accents are really weird.

I miss Shanghai so much and I miss playing in the band with you. CRASH! were the best rock band ever. I haven’t found anyone else to play with yet. I try to practise the guitar, but the neighbour who lives opposite came and complained yesterday. He was furious. He said that his daughter played the violin and my ‘dreadful noise’ was disturbing her. Then later on, I saw her staring out of the window at me. I think she hates me too. Did I tell you she’s really beautiful...

Hey, I’ve got to stop now. Mum just got back from work and I haven’t finished my homework.

Please write back soon. I want to hear more about what you’re doing in London. Have you found anyone to play music with? Can you understand the accent yet?

Deshi

PS: I think I’m in love!

Deshi turned off his computer and opened his English book. He had a pile of homework to do but it was just impossible to concentrate on phrasal verbs and mixed conditionals. He couldn’t stop thinking about the girl in the building opposite. She had such beautiful eyes. He opened his bedroom window and looked across the street. Her window was open too and he could hear her practising a classical piece. It sounded really sad and beautiful. She was good. Deshi sighed. “I bet she hates rock music,” he thought. “Have you finished your homework yet?” said Deshi’s mum, opening the door. “Hurry up, dinner will be ready in half an hour, and you haven’t tidied your room since last week.” Suddenly, Deshi didn’t feel very hungry.

That night, Deshi couldn’t sleep and he was late for school next morning. He ran out of the house with his shoelaces undone and looked down the street to the bus stop. Oh no! The bus was just leaving. He bent down to tie his shoelaces. There was no point in rushing, he was going to be in trouble anyway. He looked up and, suddenly, there she was! She was sitting in her dad’s car with the window open. Deshi dropped his schoolbag and she turned to look at him. He couldn’t move. Her eyes were green. He’d never seen anyone with green eyes before. He smiled at her but she just stared at him like he didn’t exist. Deshi could feel his face turning bright red. He picked up his bag and ran off down the street.

School didn’t go well that day. He failed another maths test and the English teacher shouted at him for daydreaming in class. He had to look up ‘daydreaming’ in the dictionary. At lunch time, he couldn’t eat. The food in the cafeteria was disgusting. How could they eat this stuff? And then, worst of all, he had to stay late after school for extra English and that made him miss the bus again. He decided to walk home; he needed to think. He was crossing the park near his street, thinking about his school back in Shanghai and his friends. He thought about his dad too and that just made him feel worse. His dad had died three years ago. He was an engineer and there had been an accident at work. He wished they didn’t have to live in Boston, but Mum had to go where the company sent her. Then he saw her... She was just sitting on a bench with her dog. Deshi froze. “Oh no, she’s seen me,” he thought. “OK, be brave!” he urged himself. He smiled and waved at her but she completely ignored him again. “Idiot!” he said to himself. “Why did I wave? Now she really hates me.” Later that evening, Deshi was practising blues scales on the guitar with the headphones on. His friends in Shanghai thought he was really good. It was his idea to start a band with his friend Lang and they’d even done a concert at school. But now he didn’t want anyone to hear him playing, especially her. He was thinking about getting a classical guitar when his mum came into the room. She was holding a letter. “The postman has delivered this to the wrong flat,” she said. “It’s for the building opposite. Can you take it across while I’m cooking dinner? And for the last time, will you please tidy your room!” “OK, mum!” he said. Deshi put down his guitar. Now, on top of everything, he felt guilty too. Mum looked really tired. She was out working all day and then she came home and had to cook for him. Maybe he should do more to help.

Deshi was feeling miserable as he went down the stairs. It had been so hard for him and mum since dad died. Mum’s job took up all her time. School was really difficult for Deshi and neither of them had made friends in Boston. He had just reached the opposite building when the door opened. “Oh no, it’s her again,” he thought. It was too late to turn around. The girl was about to come down the steps towards him when she dropped something. It clattered as it bounced down the steps and stopped at Deshi’s feet. Without thinking, he picked it up. “Hello?” she said, sounding frightened. “Who’s there?” Deshi was confused. “Er, I live across the street. Are you OK?” “Oh, are you the boy who plays the guitar?” she said. “Hi, I’m Helen. I really like your music. I’m sorry my dad complained. He worries about me too much.” Deshi looked at what he was holding. It was a white stick. She was blind.

1) He drops his schoolbag while tying his shoelaces.  2) He picks up Helen’s white stick.  3) He hears Helen practising a classical piece.  4) He thinks about getting a classical guitar.  5) He tries to study phrasal verbs.

17.  Put the lines of a dialogue in the correct  order. 

1) – I’m sorry. I don’t know what its working hours are.  2) – That’s OK. Thank  you very much!  3) – Of course. There’s one in the shopping centre on the main road out of town.  4) – Excuse me. I wonder if you could help me. I’m new to this town. Could you tell me where to find a good supermarket?  5) – Oh, thank you! You don’t know when it works, do you? 

18.  Put the parts of the e-mail in correct order.

1) They paid the deposit last week. That was a relief! Have you decided what to wear yet? I’ve bought my wedding dress (it’s a bit big so I have to alter it). The shop had reduced the price so it was only a few hundred pounds. Do you remember Aunt Terry?  2) Lucy  3) Hi, Hillary!  I’m so pleased that you can come to our wedding! Jake and I have planned everything over the last few weeks. At the moment we’re sending out all the final invitations. (Don’t worry! I haven’t invited Jane Anderson. I know you don’t get on well with her.) I was a bit worried about the cost but last month Mum and Dad agreed to pay for the reception.  4) I can’t wait to see you there. It’s going to be a great day!  5) Apparently she’s got a fantastic camera, so she’s going to shoot the ceremony. We’ve got a professional photographer as well. She’ll take formal photos. And Antonio from Italian restaurant is doing the catering, so the food should be great!

19. Put the words to make an English proverb.

1) of  2) flock  3) a feather  4) birds 5) together

20. Put the parts of the text in the correct order.

Unusual Sport No 27

1) The game consists of two teams playing against each other, moving ten stones down the ice path, trying to get them as close to the home circle as possible. 

2) Many people were amazed at just how exciting this sport could be, and were looking forward to the next Winter Olympics. It is also quite a gentle sport, and players are unlikely to be hurt while playing it.

3) Famously described once as “doing housework on ice” because of its similarity to sweeping the floor, curling is an old Scottish sport.

4) The teams take turns to ‘throw’ the stone down the ice, with players ‘sweeping’ the ice in front of the stone to make the surface smoother. The team with most stones closest to their home wins the match. Most people have heard of curling, but not many people have detailed knowledge of the sport. In the Winter Olympics of 2002, the Great Britain women’s team (consisting of Scots) enjoyed great success and brought the gold medal home to Scotland.

5) People often take it up when they are children and continue playing it into their 70s or 80s. If you feel like trying curling yourself, but you don’t like getting cold, you could try playing a game on your computer.
