International BeansAfter water, coffee is probably the most popular drink in the world. Coffee has many positive propertiesthat are good for your health. Drink ing coffee can help reduce the chances of some cancers, stomach andneurological diseases, type 2 diabetes, and even heart disease.

Coffee has had a long and interesting history on its road to becoming the much-loved drink t hat it is today.The coffee bush was first discovered in Africa in the 9th century. The coffee berries that grow on the bushescontain coffee beans which can be made into a drink. The recipe for this drink was passed from Africa to theMiddle East, to Europe, and then to the Americas.

Even though the drink we know as coffee is well k nown all around the world, most countries have their ownspecial way of maki ng it. ‘Cowboy coffee’ is made in Finland and Norway by mixing coffee and boili ng watertogether in a kett le and pouring out the l iquid into a cup without the grounds. Turkish coffee i s made bymixing very finely ground coffee and sugar in a small pot with a long handle called an ibrik . The ibrik is heldover a fire and then removed when the coffee comes to the boil. The mix ture is poured into a small cera miccup and drunk slowly, leaving the grounds at the bottom. Italians ty pically dri nk small cups of espresso everyday and usual ly don’t even sit down when they order it; they drink it and leave. Many people in the U.S. have

an electric coffeemaker which uses a f ilter to separate the water from the coffee. Hot water drips through thegrounds and comes out as the drink they know and love. There is even a way to make coffee using a roastedcoconut and the milk inside it!

Whichever way you prefer your daily cup of coffee, there’s no doubt about it, coffee is something the whole

world loves!

1. Coffee is the most popular drink in the world.

2. Dri nking too much coffee is bad for you.

3. The first coffee was made in Africa.

4. Cof fee is always prepared in the same way.

5. Italians drink espresso quickly.

Read the text and decide if the statements are True, False or Not Mentioned. Write T, F or NM.

Read the text below and answer the questions.

Stan Lee: Heromaker

Stan Lee is an American comic book creator. He has created many famous comics over the years, and is

responsible for some of the most popular superheroes that we know today. Some of Lee’s more well-known comics are:

Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, Iron Man, the Hulk, Daredevil, the Avengers and Captain America.

Lee started working at Timely Comics, which he turned into his own company, Marvel Comics, and later Marvel

Entertainment. He was just 19 when he became an assistant editor and started writing texts for Captain America. When

he was 20, Lee joined the U.S. military. There he spent most of his time writing manuals, training films, slogans, and

even drawing cartoons.

In the 1950s, Lee’s main comic book competitor, DC Comics, renewed the interest in comics, which prompted Lee

to create more characters of his own. Lee created heroes that were not perfect and had human characteristics like vanity

and greed. In this first wave of new characters, Lee introduced the world to the Fantastic Four, a group that often argued

with one another, the Incredible Hulk, a man whose temper was uncontrollable, Iron Man, a businessman who was at

times greedy and selfish, and f inally, Spider-Man, a young man who wanted to help make the world a better place, despite

his own limitations. The change from the idealistic superhero to the more realistic hero helped the average reader identifywith the characters more. Throughout his career, many of his comics have been developed into films, and he also started

his own company, Stan Lee Entertainment. He has also appeared as a character in many comic books, made appearances

in films and TV shows and written an autobiography. In 2007, Lee received perhaps the highest honour a comic fan

could: an action figure was created in his likeness and debuted at Comic-Con International.

1. Stan Lee first started working at

a. Marvel Comics.

b. Timely Comics.

c. Marvel Entertainment.

2. When Lee was in the military, he

a. wrote.

b. drew.

c. wrote and drew.

3. Why did Lee create many new characters?

a. He was told to.

b. To make more money.

c. To keep up with the competition.

4. What was unique about Lee’s comic heroes?

a. They were all different.

b. They were more like ordinary humans.

c. They were not very heroic.

5. What hasn’t Lee done during his career?

a. acted

b. directed

c. written a book

Write a description of a person that you consider to be a hero. Say why you have a good opinion of this person and

how he/she has influenced you.

Shirley

When I got my first job, there weren’t many choices available for women. At the time, girls were

expected to stay at home and help raise the children and take care of the house. So the only

job that was available for me then was as a waitress at a local restaurant. My parents knew the

owner, so he agreed to let me work there a couple nights a week. I started working there when I

was 16. My parents thought I was too young, but I was really excited to get out of the house and

make my own money. It was a good job, and I had a really nice boss. Plus, it was fun, because all

my friends from high school would come in the evenings and I was able to hang out with people

I knew while I worked. It was the perfect job!

Daniel

I spent a lot of time in my dad’s dental office as a child. Even when I was very young, I

understood how things worked there and I helped out whenever I could. So, everyone knewthat someday I would follow in my father’s footsteps and take over the family business.

After I got my degree in Dentistry, I started working in my dad’s practice as his partner

until he retired a few years later. I learnt a lot from my dad and from watching him in

surgery. I learnt how to love my job and be really good at it. I’m glad I didn’t have to go to

a bunch of interviews. Now, my son helps out at the office and it seems he has already decided on his future career. What

can I say? Dentistry runs in our blood.

Pam

My first job in the ‘real world,’ was really hard to get. I don’t know what the problem was; I mean

I had my Master’s degree and all the necessary qualifications and I was hard working. Still, no one

wanted to hire me. Maybe it’s because I had so little real-world experience. I went to at least three

job interviews every week for more than six months. It was a lot of driving around for nothing

and it was very tiring. Not having a job for that long was really stressful, because I kept eating

away at my savings so I could pay rent and bills. Eventually, I did manage to find a job with a

good company. My salary was a lot more than I expected, so I guess in the end, the wait finally

paid off!

Zack

I consider myself pretty lucky when it comes to my life. I’m 22, I’ve just

graduated from university, and I already have a great job. I design websites. It’s funny, actually. The

day I got my degree, I put my CV on Monster.com, and within a few hours, I had a few companies

interested in me. I decided on one and we had a brief phone interview and that was that. I e-mailedthem my portfolio, they liked what they saw and hired me. They didn’t even need to meet me! The

best part is I can work from home and they pay my salary right into my bank account and I never

even have to leave my house. The only problem is I still live with my parents. So it’s really t ime I

did something about that. I’m tired of my friends making fun of me for my mum still cooking for

me and doing my laundry! But hey, with this great new job, now I can afford to live on my own.

Read the following statements and decide which one applies to each person.

Write S for Shirley, D for Daniel, P for Pam or Z for Zack.

A ‘GREEN’ HOLIDAY

Goa is a natural paradise which offers travellers who need a break from city life an opportunity to experience nature at its

best. If you want to combine a holiday with conservation work, this is the ideal place to go to. I spent two weeks at a nature

conservation centre in Goa and it was one of the best holidays I’ve ever been on.

The conservation centre, which serves as a field station for biologists and ecologists, was set up so that they can

do research and check the development of various plants and wildlife. In addition, the centre tries to make the local

communities in the region aware of environmental issues. There are also volunteers at the centre who help with various

conservation activities in the area.

After a two-day training course, I started working with the team responsible for the conservation of sea turtles. My role

was to collect data on the turtles and also to talk to people in the local community about things they can do to help protect

the turtles. I spent most of my days walking up and down the beaches observing and writing down everything I noticed

about the turtles. At sunset, I would eat dinner with the other team members and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

In my free time, I went swimming in the sea and I also went on organised nature walks into the jungle. This was a

truly amazing experience as I got to see all kinds of interesting wildlife up close. However, the best thing was visiting the

waterfalls; they were simply wonderful. I also took a yoga class which was offered at the centre.

Endangered Species Watch

The Orangutan is a great ape which is found on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra in South East Asia.These gentle great

apes are very intelligent and, like humans, they have the ability to think and learn. They are the largest tree living mammal,

with longer arms than other great apes such as gorillas and chimpanzees.

Orangutans are an endangered species because of illegal hunting, loss of their habitat and being kidnapped from the wild

and sold as pets. In fact, it is possible that orangutans living in the wild may become extinct very soon. The loss of their

habitat has occurred for various reasons. As the populations of countries in South East Asia have grown, so has the need for

land and food. The rainforests have been cut down to clear land for housing and agriculture. In particular, whole sections

of rainforest have been cleared to plant palm trees which produce palm oil. As a result, the orangutans have no home. In

addition, natural disasters such as flooding and forest fires have also contributed to the destruction of the rainforests.

The survival of orangutans depends mainly on the efforts of various conservation organisations which are working

hard to protect them. For example, Camp Leakey is a research station in the Tanjung Puting National Park in Borneo;here orangutans are studied, cared for and prepared for life in the wild. Despite the work of organisations such as these,

orangutans are still threatened; if we want to save these magnificent creatures from extinction, more needs to be done to

protect their habitats.

1. Orangutans are known to be very clever.

2. Gorillas and chimpanzees are the largest tree living animals.

3. There are several reasons why orangutans are an endangered species.

4. The writer believes that orangutans will never become extinct. 5. Large areas of rainforest have been cut down.

6. Events such as natural disasters threaten the habitats of orangutans.

7. The loss of their habitat is the greatest threat to orangutans.

8. Many governments are supporting conservation organisations.

9. At Camp Leakey orangutans are taught how to survive in the wild.

10. As a result of the work of conservation organisations, orangutans are no longer threatened.

The strange world of your dreams

There are many different theories about dreams and how they work; however, what is certain is that the science of dreamsis not exact. In ancient times, people believed that when we dreamt we entered another world which was real. As the fields

of science and medicine became more advanced, different theories started to come out. Some scientists believe that dreamsare just verbal, visual and emotional stimuli with no apparent meaning. However, others believe that dreams are importantfor our mental well-being. The leading psychiatrist, Carl Jung thought that analysing our dreams provides us with a way tothink more deeply about our lives and solve problems. For centuries, people have believed that dreams have a deeper meaning. For example, many of us dream that we arefalling and suddenly we wake up. Experts say this dream means we are feeling anxious and insecure or we feel we havefailed in achieving a goal. Another popular dream is that of being chased; this means we are trying to escape our problems.If you see yourself in a dream trying to run but your legs don’t take you anywhere, then you could be trying to do toomany things at the same time. Also, dreams about losing our teeth are believed to show that we are worried about ourphysical appearance. There has been a lot of research done into controlling dreams and this has led to the term lucid dreaming. Luciddreaming happens when you are aware that you are dreaming and are able to control what happens in your dream. This isan amazing skill but it is also extremely difficult to do and not many people are able to learn it. Lucid dreaming can be afun way to experience the strange world of your dreams but it is also believed to help personal development and improve your problem solving skills.

Some people are able to see future events through their dreams. There is the case of the man who dreamt that he tookhis son on a camping trip and his son died near a lake. Some time after he had had the dream, the man and his son wereinvited on a camping trip. Then, at a certain time during the trip, the man remembered his dream and noticed thateverything was the same as in his dream; the boy was standing near a lake looking down at pebbles. The man quicklygrabbed his son and took him to safety.

There is still a lot of research taking place into dreams, and it will be some time before we are able to really understandthe strange dream world that we enter every night. Dreams allow us to experience things that would not be possible in real

life, and by analysing our dreams we can learn more about ourselves.

1. According to the writer, ancient people believed that a. the dream world was real. b. dreams were verbal and visual stimuli. c. dreams were essential for our mental health. d. dreams could help solve problems. 2. If you dream that you are falling, this could mean that a. you are worried about the way you look. b. you are doing too many things. c. you are trying to escape from your problems. d. you are worried about something.

3. Lucid dreaming a. is a way of controlling your dreams. b. reduces your ability to solve problems. c. is very easy to learn. d. has been learnt by a large number of people.

4. What does ‘it’ in line 18 refer to? a. lucid dreaming b. research c. the term d. dream

5. According to the writer, why are dreams important? a. They help us see the future. b. They allow us to live in a dream world. c. They help us to understand ourselves. d. If we can control them, they are a way to entertain

ourselves.

A DREAM COME TRUE

This year for my summer holiday I wanted to enjoy the good life and travel in style so I sailed around the Red Sea in a

luxury yacht. I left behind sub-zero winter temperatures in the UK and arrived to clear blue skies and cheerful sunshine.

The yacht that was to be my home for the week was named Elizabeth. (1) As soon as I got aboard, I took off my shoes

and enjoyed the pleasure of walking on the cool wooden deck. After I was introduced to some of the other passengers, I was

shown around the vessel by two crew members. (2)

On the first night we had a delicious evening meal which consisted of fresh fish and roasted vegetables followed by a rich

chocolate cake served with vanilla ice cream. (3) The following morning we set off on our journey; it was a wonderful

feeling just sitting and watching the turquoise water slide by. Later on in the day, I went snorkelling and saw some colourful

marine life. (4) After a refreshing swim we all went back to the yacht where we had lunch. The remainder of the day was

spent lazing on the deck.

During the rest of the week I learned how to sail, which was loads of fun but mostly I spent my time swimming in the sea

or on the deck relaxing and chatting to the other passengers. (5) I would definitely recommend this type of holiday to

anyone who wants to get away from it all.

A. At the end of the week, I felt completely refreshed.

B. My cabin was very comfortable and above the deck there was a spacious dining area and a lounge with a TV.

C. After that feast, I sat with some of the other guests watching the sun go down.

D. Even though it was very hot during the day, in the mornings there was a chill in the air.

E. When I caught sight of Elizabeth in the port, I experienced a thrill of excitement.

F. Apart from lots of fish, I saw several large purple jellyfish, which I have to admit made me a bit nervous.

Cars of the future?

When your mobile phone runs out of battery power, all you have to do to get it working again is to charge it up. Imagine

if you could do the same thing with your car. Researchers at car companies are developing cars that plug into electric

sockets. These vehicles might become the cars of the future.

The cars are called plug-in hybrids and they get most of their power from electricity, just like other electrical devices like

mobile phones and laptops. This technology would significantly reduce the amount of petrol that people use. For countries

that depend on other oil producing countries for their petrol supply this could be a great advantage.

Presently, most cars use petrol. Unfortunately, burning fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide gas, and when a large amount

of this gas and other greenhouse gases are trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere, they cause global warming. Hybrid vehicles

have already been developed and are being driven. These cars get their power from both petrol and electricity; they are able

to travel longer distances with less petrol. Plug-in hybrids wil l be even more advanced as they are designed to be powered

mainly by electricity and use only a small amount of petrol.

Although this technology appears to offer a solution to our planet’s environmental problems, there are still some

challenges in getting it to work efficiently. The biggest problem is creating batteries that can store a large amount of energy

to run the cars. Plug-in hybrids require a special battery which is very expensive, making the cost of the car very high. In

addition, the electricity used to charge plug-in hybrid cars is produced from burning coal – this produces pollution, too. It

might be some time before the cars will become available to the public but if they do, it will be a major breakthrough for

transport.

C. Sarah

A childhood event triggered Sarah’s fear. One day, when she was eight years old, an enormous

cockroach got caught in her hair. Sarah panicked and screamed but it was very difficult for her

parents to help her remove the insect. As a result of this experience, Sarah became terrified of

insects, in particular, cockroaches. She refused to travel abroad and lived in constant fear offinding a cockroach in her home. When Sarah had to give up a job offer, she decided it was time to

take control of her life. She had a combination of hypnotherapy and psychotherapy, which over a

period of six months helped her to come face-to-face with a giant cockroach without running for

her life. Sarah is delighted that she has been able to get over her fear and now she is able to do her

dream job abroad.

D. Jack

As a young child, Jack had a fear of lemons. When he was just a toddler, he started screaming and

ran for cover if he even saw a picture of a lemon. Jack’s fear caused many embarrassing situations

for him and his family. The worst incident happened when they travelled to Greece for a family

holiday. The family had just been swimming and were settling down to a delicious lunch of fish

and chips; however, when Jack spotted a slice of lemon next to his chips, he became hysterical.

In his panic, Jack knocked over a tray that a nearby waiter was holding. Jack’s parents were so

embarrassed that they never went back to the restaurant during their holiday. As Jack grew older

and he realised that lemons could not harm him, his fear of them decreased until eventually it

disappeared completely. Now Jack is an adult and he has little memory of his childhood fear that

caused so much havoc.

I’ve tried talking to her about it but she just gets angry when I say anything to her. I don’t understand whyshe’s behaving like this because she used to be one of the best players in the team. A few months ago she wouldnever miss training sessions and her performance during matches was always excellent.

I think there is something going on in her personal life that is causing this. I just don’t know what to dobecause I’ve already tried talking to her. I feel it’s my responsibility as team captain to sort this out. I really don’twant to kick her off the team but if the situation gets any worse, I might have to. What do you think I should do? I would really appreciate it if you could give me some advice.

Read the text about hip hop and answer the questions. Choose a, b, c or d.

For those of you who love hip hop, there is a great way to learn more about hip hop history and culture -just take a

hip hop tour of Harlem and the Bronx. This is a unique music tour that provides fans with a deeper understanding of

hip hop. It is both enjoyable and educational for both serious hip hop fans and tourists visiting New York who want to

experience a different side of the city.

The tour guides are some of the biggest names from the early years of hip hop; they include DJ Kool Herc, known to

many as the father of hip hop, the rapper Kurtis Blow and Grandmaster Caz who was a member of the group Cold Crush

Brothers. The guides provide an entertaining presentation for their listeners, including handing out some “bling bling”

such as gold bead necklaces with large gold dollar signs attached. This is to show that hip hop culture is all about style and

having the right attitude.

The tour bus sets off from Fifth Avenue in Manhattan and the guides explain how hip hop started on August 11,

1973, when Kool Herc held a party which lasted for several nights.The passengers learn that rappers, DJ’s, breakdancers

and graffiti artists all play an important role in hip hop. The tour bus makes its first stop in Spanish Harlem where thepassengers can gaze at the Graffiti Hall of Fame. The walls are brightly coloured with cartoon characters and phrases;

they are considered to be works of art. During the tour, the guide points out various important landmarks such as the

Apollo Theater and the Theresa Hotel, where Ray Charles wrote his famous song Hit the Road Jack . Passengers can also

stop off at a “soul food” restaurant where they can enjoy African American food.

This tour shows that hip hop is not just about music; it’s about the graffiti artists, the MCs, the DJs, the breakdancers,

the clothes and the fashion accessories. It’s about having fun and expressing yourself. So if you’d like to learn more about

hip hop, why not take a tour!
