Findand correcteight moremistakeswith the word orderof phrasalverbs. Most peoplewould agreethat human behaviouris made oFnp Lrpof a mixture of geneticsand environment.The questionis: can we break down it into its constituent parts and decide which influenceis stronger in certain situations? It's an intriguingquestion,and onewhich will certainly have important consequencesfor our societyif the scientistswho have been looking it into for many years suddenlycome with up a definitiveanswer. For example,if drug addictionturns out to be largely genetic,can we blame a heroin addict for not being able to give up it? If a man is destinedto be a criminal becauseof his DNA, is it morally right to punish him for his crimes, or should societyallow him to get them awaywith? Calculatingthe relativeimportanceof geneticsand environmentis difficult, but in some situations, it is possibleto work out it. Of particularinterest to researchersare identicaltwins who have been brought in differentfamiliesup. It's the differences betweenthesetwins which providethe key: only their environmentscan accountthem for becauseidentical twins share exactlythe sameDNA.

A group ofboys havebeenmarooned on a desertisland, followinga plane crash,and are waiting to berescued. In this extractJack and Ralph,strong characters who both want to beleaderof thegroup,comeinto conflict.
I Ralph flung back his hair. One arm pointed at the empty horizon. His voicewas loud and savage,and struck them into silence. 'There was a ship.' s Jack,facedat once with too many awful implications, ducked away from them. He laid a hand on the pig and drew his knife. Ralph brought down his arm, fist clenched,and his voice shook. 'There was a ship. Out there!You saidyou'd keepthe 10fire going and you let it out!'He took a steptowards Jack,who turned and facedhim. 't ! We might havegone home - ' This was too bitter for Piggy,who forgot his timidity in the agonyof his loss.He beganto cry out, shrilly: rs'Youand your blood, JackMerridewlYouand your hunting! We might havegone home -' Ralph pushedPiggy on one side. 'I was chief; and you were going to do what I said.You talk. But you can't evenbuild huts - then you go off rohunting and let out the fire -' He turnedaway,silentfor a moment.'I 'Therewasa ship-' One of the smallerhuntersbeganto wail.rThe dismaF truth was filtering through to everybody.Iack went r5very red ashe hackedrand pulled at the pig. 'The job wastoo much.We neededeveryone.' Ralphturned.
'You could havehad everyonewhen the shelterswere finished.But you had to hunt -' 30'Weneededmeat.' Jackstood ashe saidthis, the bloodied knife in his hand. The two boys facedeachother. There was the brilliant world of hunting, tactics,fierceexhilaration, skill; and there was the world of longing and baffleda 35common-sense.Iack transferredthe knife to his Ieft hand and smudgedsblood over his foreheadashe pushed down the plasteredhair. Piggybeganagain. 'You didn't ought to havelet that fire out. You said noyou'd keep the smoke going - ' This from Piggy,and the wails of agreementfrom some of the hunters drove Jackto violence.The bolting look cameinto his blue eyes.3! Piggysat down with a grunt. Jackstood over him. His voice was asvicious6with humiliation. 'You would, would you? Fatty!' Ralph made a step forward and JacksmackedPiggy's head.Piggy'sglassesflew off and tinkledTon the rocks. Piggycried out in terror: so'Myspecs!' He went crouchingand feelingover the rocksbut Simon, who got there first, found them for him. Passions beat about Simon on the mountain-top with awful wings. ss'Oneside'sbroken.' nI H" looked malevolentlyat Jack. 'I got to havethem specs.Now I only got one eye.fus' you wait -' fack made a move towards Piggy who scrambleds 60awaytill a great rock lay betweenthem. He thrust his headover the top and glaredat Jackthrough his one flashingglass. 'Now I only got one eye.)ust you wait - ' Iack mimickedethe whine and scramble. es']uS'youwait - yah!' Piggy and the parody were so funny that the hunters beganto laugh.Jackfelt encouraged.sl__lUnwillingly Ralph felt his lips twitch;tl he was angry with himself for giving way. 70He muttered. 'That was a dirty trick.' Jackbroke out of his gyration and stoodfacingRalph. His words camein a shout. All right!All right!' 7sHe looked at Piggy,at the hunters,at Ralph. 'I'm sorry.About the fire, I mean.There.I - '
He drew himself up.'2 ' - I apologise.' The buzz from the hunters was one of admiration 80for this handsomebehaviour.Clearly they were of the opinion that Jackhad done the decentthing, had put himself in the right by his generousapologyand Ralph,obscurelp13 in the wrong. oI Yet Ralph'sthroat refusedto passone. He resented,as 8san addition to |ack'smisbehaviour,this verbal trick. The fire was dead.The ship was gone. Could they not see?Anger insteadof decencypassedhis throat. 'That wasa dirty trick.' They were silent on the mountain top while the e0opaquelook appearedin Jack'seyesand passedaway. Ralph'sfinal word was an ungraciousr4mutter. All right. Light the fire.' With some positive action before them, a little of the tension died. Ralph said no more, did nothing, esstoodlooking down at the ashesaround his feet. '! He gaveorders,sang,whistled, threw remarks at the silent Ralph - remarks that did not need an answer, and therefore could not invite a snub;rsand still Ralph was silent. No one, not evenJack,would ask him to r00move and in the end they had to build the fire three yards awayand in a placenot really as convenient. Ralph assertedhis chieftainship and could not have chosena better way if he had thought for days.Against this weapon,so indefinable and so effective,fack was tospowerlessand ragedwithout knowing why. By the time the pile was built, they were on different sidesof a high barrier.

The fox and the grapes There was once a fox that used to wander far and wide to find food. He would sometimeswalk for days in order find a nice meal. One day,he came acrossa vine branch from which were hanging bunchesof ripe, black grapeswhich no one had yet picked. The fox had been searchingfor food for many days and was almost dying of hunger.He stood on tip-toe and stretched as high as he could, but he couldnt reach the grapes.He tried jumping but still without success. The fox had thought that it would be easyto reach the grapes,and to hide his disappointment he said to himself,'What a fool I am! The grapesare sour.I was going to eat them, but I ve changedmy mind.'And with that. he walked off.

Set in 1952 at the heightof the Cold War;most of the actiontakesplacein the junglesof SouthAmerica.The plot revolvesaroundthe raceto find a crystalskull,whichthe villainousSovietofficerlrinaSpalko(CateBlanchett)wants to get her handson in order to harnessits mysticalpowers. Needlessto say,at the end of the film the goodiescomeout on top, find the skulland restoreit to its rightfulplace. Despitevery good performancesfrom Fordand young, upcomingactor ShiaLaBoeu[who playsa leather-jacketed biker,and some pretty effectivestate-of-the-artspecial effects,the fllm is let down by the rather convolutedand farfetchedplot. In fact after about an hour;the film abandons any pretenceof a story and descendsinto a sequenceof high-speedcar chases,fights,stunts,and encounterswith red ants and quicksand. As adventuremoviesgo, it's fairlyentertaining, but nowhere nearas good as the first three instalmentsin the Indiana Jonesseries.But if it's pure escapismyou're after and you can totally suspenddisbelief,this film'sprobablyfor you.

p.133 Vocabulary Builder5.2:Verb-noun collocations:
Unlike most Australians,who shrink from the tropical sun and shudder at the dangerous creaturesthat surround them, Stevelrwin was a man in tune with his surroundings.A true environmental warrior and lifelong animal rights advocate, he founded Wildlife Warriors Worldwide, which protects habitat and wildlife, sets up breeding and rescueprogrammesfor endangered species, and leads scientific researchto aid conservation. Nothing fazed him - not the sharks or killer jellyfish, nor the man-eating crocodiles, nor the dozens of snakesand spiders capable of delivering a fatal bite. For lrwin, Australia'sanimalswere 'like a magnet',and he acquired fame, and considerablefortune, by getting up closeto them.1! And it was,perhaps,that senseof invulnerabilitythat killed him. The warrior who wrestled crocodiles and handled pythons without a scratch was diving in the warm waters of Queensland'sGreat Barrier Reef when a stingray shot its poisonous barb into his heart. According to a witness, lrwin swam too close to it. Triangular-shapedstingrays, which glide through the water on their wide, flat bodies, are usuallyplacid, lashingout with their long tails only when they feel threatened or are trodden on. lrwin was believed to be only the third person killed by a stingray in Australian waters. lrwin, whose television show Crocodile Hunter made him an international celebrity and a superstar in America, was filming an underwater sequencefor a documentary called Ocean's Deadliest at the remote Batt Reef. The crew of his boat called the emergencyservicesand administered heart massageas they rushed to a nearby island to meet a rescue helicopter. 'I

Animals were in lrwin's blood. At the age of six he was given a four-metre python for his birthday. When he was eight, his father, Bob, a plumber with a passion for reptiles, moved the family from Melbourne to Queensland'sSunshineCoast, where they opened a small wildlife park. By the time lrwin was nine, he was catching crocodiles, and in his twenties he worked for the Queenslandgovernment as a crocodile trapper, removing problem animals from populated areas. In 1991, when his parents retired, he took over the business- originally called the Queensland Reptile and FaunaPark, and now known as Australia Zoo - and developed it into a major tourist attraction. 3|-l
he went too far, cradling his baby son, Bob, in one arm while feeding a large, snapping crocodile with the other, there was an uproar and lrwin apologised. He later insisted, however,that boy had been in no danger, and in later interviewslaughed offthe incident. o! h was all about 'perceived danger' he said, claiming that 'in front of that crocodile I was in complete control, absolute and complete control.' One commentator blamed his death on the demands of an increasinglyvoyeuristic brand of television.But lrwin was only doing what had come naturally. He was a natural showman. tl-l The British television presenter and survivalexpert, Ray Mears, said his death proved that 'some things in nature should be left alone'. He said of lrwin: 'He clearly took a lot of risks, and television encouraged him to do that. uf]You leave dangerous animals alone becausethey will defend themselves.'Mears,too, condemnedsome wildlife programmes as'voyeuristic',saying:'Television has become very gladiatorial, and it's not healthy. The voyeurism we are seeing on television has a cost, and it's that cost Stevelrwin's family are paying now.' However, scientistswho study stingrayssay that lrwin was extremely unlucky. Unprovoked attacks are virtually unheard of, and although a stingray'svenom will cause agonising pain, it is rarely fatal. t! tik" Kylie Minogue, he was not taken entirely seriously in Australia, and appeared to be more valued abroad. Urban Aussieswant to shake off the image embodied by the brash,blond lrwin, and to havetheir modern,'multicultural nation portrayed overseasin a rather more sophisticated fashion. Whatever one thought of lrwin, his passionfor life could not be denied, nor the 100 per cent enthusiasmthat he brought to everythinghe did. 'l get called an adrenalinejunkie every other minute, and I'm just fine with that,' he once remarked. On another occasion, he claimed never to have experienced 'fear of losing my life'.
lrwin told the ABC documentary: 'l've got animals so genetically inside me that there's no way I could actually be anything else.' Visitors came in droves to Australia Zoo to watch lrwin hover perilously close to untethered crocodiles, often leaping on to their backs. But in 2004

Drigins and growth : --:e aftermath of the :r:-.nd lVorld War, some :': -:ical leadersin Western :::ope believed that the ::--, -to avoid war =.: conflict in the future . .Li to unite the countries -r Europe in an economicand political union. So, in 1952 six :-''.:ntries - France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands r-l Luxembourg - formed 'was to evolve into the :-:ropean Union (EU). Since then ut-21 countries have ,::ned the organisation, bringing the total population of the EU :-- over 500 million.
How does it work?
o.he EU is not a federation the United States.The =ember states of the EU remain independent sovereign nations :ui they pool their sovereignty in certain areas of policy. Pooling t:overeignty means, practice, that the member states .ieiegate some of their decision-making powers to shared nstitutions they have created, so that decisions "specific :natters of joint interest can be made democratically at European level.
The three main decision-making instifutions are: . the EuropeanCommission,consisting of 27 commissioners, one chosen by each member state. The role of the Commission is to propose new legislation, but it cannot pass IawsTitself. . the Council of the EU, consisting of one govemment minister from each country. The Council is the EU's main decisionmaking body. It votes on legislation proposed by the Commission. . the EuropeanParliament,based in Brussels and Strasbourg, and consisting of 785 MEPs directly elected by the citizens of the EU. Elections are held 8five years. Like the Council, the Parliament votes on and passeslaws proposed by the Commission.
Controversy The British have a very uneasy relationship with the EU. British Europhiles claim that the EU continues to bring tangible economic and political benefits to the UK, and that it has delivered peace and stability to Europe for over half a a century. Eurosceptics,however, who are probably edirection the EU is majority in the UK, are concerned about the undemocratic and taking. They believe that it is fundamentally unaccountable, and maintain that the real aim of the EU is to create an enormous federal state in which individual member states will exerciselittle controi 10their own affairs.

According to a close friend of his,chree daysprior to his assassination, Lincoln recounted a dream hed had to his wife and a few acquaintances, t -. In th e d ream ,he was ly ing in bed in t heW h i t e House in Washington,and there seemed to be a death-like stillnessaround him.Then he beganto hear quiet sobbing, t. He got out of bed and wandered downstairs.There the silencewas broken by the same picifulsobbing,but he couldn't see who was makingthe noise.He went from room o-. to room but they were all deserted, lt was light in all the rooms and every object was familiarto him; but where, Lincoln wondered,were all the people t? He was both puzzledand alarmed.What could be the meaningof all this? Determined to find the cause,he kept on walkingu, which he entered.Therehe mec with a sickeningsurprise.Before him was a platform,'-. Around it were stationedsoldiers who were acting as guards;and there was a crowd of people, some gazingmournfully upon the coffin,others crying bitterly. ' Wh o h as die d in theW hit e Hous e?'Linc olndem and e do f o n e of the soldiers.'ThePresident,'came rhe answer. 'He was killed by an assassin.'Then there was a loud *exclamation of grief from rhe crowd, . Some peoplehave ascribeda powerful meaningto his dream, claimingthat '. Others point out that, given the facc that he fully expected that someone would try co assassinate him ,

Introduction The aim of this report is to give an insighl in[o the wide range of live music that is available in this area, and to single out one venue which I would particulariy recommend visiting Large venues There are two llve music venues of a reasonablesize: the Apollo and,the Hippodrome These attract headline acts from all pafis of the UK, and occasionallyfrom overseastoo. The Apollo has recently been refurbished and 1sclean, well-run and well-appointed. To my mind, however, it is a little on the sterile side The Hippodrome is the polar opposite: dark, grungy and chaotically-managed - and it could certainly do with better air-condrtioning. But what it lacks rn slickness. it makes uD for rn character! Smaller venues If it's internationally-renowned performers you're looking for, the Cave rsn't the venue for vou However. as a showcase
for local talent, it's garnering quite a reputation among serious music fans in the area Tickets are reasonably priced, wrth concessionsfor students and the unemployed The room is a little cosy, to say the least, but that adds to the atmospherel That said, it does have a tendency to be very crowded on Saturday nights, perhaps unpleasantly so. Stage One is somewhat larger than the Cave, with an advertised capacity of 350 as opposed to the Cave's 250 They tend to attract slightly better-known acts, but at f25-30 a throw, tlckets aren't exactly cheap, and when bought over the phone incur an additional booking fee of f2.50 per ticket Recommendation If you only have time to visit one venue, I would recommend its programme includes the best bands in the UK and whiie lt may not be the most polished gig you've ever seen, it should be a memorable evening
