Reading

Task 1

Questions 1 - 7 are based on a newspaper article about Robin Hood. Seven sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences A-I the one which fits into each gap (1-7). There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use. There is an example at the beginning (0).

_{Who was Robin Hood?}

0

BStories and rhymes about a band of robbers led by a man called Robin Hood have been popular for over 600 years. Five hundred years ago, a man called Wynken de Worde collected the rhymes together and printed a book about Robin Hood's life. Since then, thousands of other books have been based on the rhymes - as well as television programmes, films and computer games.

The Robin Hood stories were certainly very popular with King Henry VIII, who ruled England at the start of the 16th century. Henry was a child when the stories first appeared in print, but they fascinated him for the rest of his life. 1……………………………..

After all this time it is hard to tell how the stories began. Some people think that Robin Hood is a fictional character; others think he really lived, and they argue about which part of England he was from. 2………………………. The idea that they were stealing from rich folk to give to the poor has saved them from being branded as villains. They certainly chose their victims carefully, sparing the poor and picking on those who were wealthy and proud.

3………………………..A porter is someone who has to do fetching and carrying work, and the idea fits in badly with all the other stories about his life and character. Enthusiasts prefer to believe that he spent the whole of his life in the woods. They say that most of the stories about him are perfectly true − but not this particular episode. 4..................................... On the other hand, they cannot explain why anyone would ever invent such a story, which ruins the whole Robin Hood romance.

5………………………….They have studied Edward II's accounts, which show the wages he paid to his workers - including a porter called Robin Hood. In November 1324, Hood received his final payment: 'five shillings because he could no longer work'. 6…………………………..If so, Robin Hood was a genuine outlaw who lived in the reign of Edward II. His career of crime was apparently brought to a sudden end when he was captured and made to work as a servant 7…………………………

A Historians have tried to check the facts by looking for clues in all sorts of places.

В All these things have spread his fame throughout the world.

С One story says that Hood was captured and made to work as a porter at the court of King Edward II.

D According to the stories, Robin Hood and his men were thieves who pounced on wealthy travellers in lonely woods.

E They prefer the idea of a Robin Hood who was free and defiant from birth until death.

F Even as a child he probably played with a bow and arrow, pretending that he was Hood the robber!

G We cannot be sure that this is the famous Robin Hood but it seems very likely.

H As a man he sometimes wore Robin Hood costumes for dances and May Day celebrations.

I Finally pensioned off in old age, his life did not quite match up to the stories.

Task 2

Choose the most suitable heading from the list A - F for each text (1 - 5). There is one extra heading which you do not need to use.

1. Science

2. Crime

3. Sport

4. Weather

5. Education

6. Culture

1. Into every Wimbledon a little rain must fall. Poor weather halted the women's quarterfinals just after they began Tuesday, sending Venus Williams, Lindsay Davenport, Kim Clijsters and Silvia Farina Elia off the court after less than 15 minutes of play. Action has now resumed. Williams had taken a 2 - 0 lead over Davenport, while Clijsters and Farina Elia had split the first four games of their match when the rain came.

2. Tropical Storm Bill blew right past the National Weather Service's new five-day forecast, hitting Louisiana less than a day and a half after the first storm advisory was issued.

3. Herbie Mann, the versatile jazz flutist who combined a variety of musical styles and deeply influenced genres such as world music and fusion, has died. He was 73.

4. An Australian Christian school has banned the new best-selling adventure of teenage wizard Harry Potter saying the book promotes evil witchcraft and magic.

5. Jefferson City police on Wednesday were investigating why a Missouri plant employee shot and killed three coworkers and wounded five others late Tuesday night before apparently fatally shooting himself.
