 Read the text and questions below. For each question, choose the correct answer.
Cross-country skiing in Sweden
By Jenna Walton, aged 15
Last year, Mum and I wanted to try a winter sport called cross-country skiing - traveling on skis
across the countryside. And pictures of one area in Sweden, with people skiing along through
forests on wonderful white snow, persuaded us that destination was a good choice. We hadn't done
much skiing, though, so weren't sure how difficult cross-country skiing was, compared with skiing
fast down steep mountains. But we signed up to join a group of people, of all ages, plus a guide.
We'd read about the place we went to before we left, so we knew it was close to where Sweden ends
and Norway starts. And our family knew we couldn't text home, as there was no internet
connection — and actually, it was relaxing to be far from anywhere, or anyone. What we hadn't
realized was that from there, we'd be able to see amazing colored lights in the sky, which appeared
at certain times of the year, called the Northern Lights - what a sight!
On our first day there, I hated getting up in the dark, but it meant, I saw the sun come up over the
forest, so I was glad I did. And the sunshine was forecast for the week, I was delighted to hear! But
the real problem was my 15kg rucksack, full of food and clothes - I had no idea it would weigh that
much. Anyway, we skied for hours across mainly flat snow. Having special light skis was supposed
to help us climb the few hills there were - although I still couldn't do it!
Finally, we stopped for the night. It wasn't until we'd reached our hut that our guide mentioned we'd
just crossed a frozen lake to get there - but nothing surprised us by that point! Anyway, he gave us
all jobs to do - cutting firewood and cooking food - and soon we were having dinner, made from
whatever food we'd brought. A strange mix, but it tasted delicious. And everywhere was so peaceful
outside that none of us stayed awake long.
Mum and I want to try another winter sports trip, maybe snowboarding. But we'll probably end up
just as exhausted as we were after this trip!

 Question 12 (Question ID: 99-128752)
The story of the carrot and the ring
Have you ever lost something that was precious to you, and thought you'd never see it again? That's
what happened to Mary Grams from Canada.
Mary had worn her engagement ring for more than half a century when she suddenly lost it. She
was working in her garden on the family farm one day, pulling out a plant. Q12.1.................... When
she discovered it was missing, she searched everywhere for it for days, before finally giving up.
Mary realized she probably wasn't going to find the ring again. So she decided not to tell anyone
about what had happened, apart from her son. Instead, she thought she would replace it with a
much cheaper ring from a jeweller's. Q12.2.................... In fact, It was so similar that no one else in
her family even knew her original ring was missing.
But the story has a happy ending. Mary eventually got her engagement ring back - 13 years after it
was lost! One day, Mary's daughter-in-law Colleen was working in the same garden where Mary
had been all those years ago.
Q12.3.................... But this time it looked a bit different - because there was a carrot growing right
through the middle of it!
As soon as Colleen saw the ring, she knew immediately who the owner was. The farm had been in
the family for over 100 years. Q12.4.................... So when Colleen discovered the story of the lost
ring, it became clear there was only one person it could possibly have belonged to, and the ring was
returned to Mary.
Mary decided to remove her ring from the carrot and wear it again. Q12.5.................... Then the ring
was washed, and Mary put it bock on her finger - and it still fitted perfectly!

Read the text and choose the best answer to fill in the blanks.
Sheep can recognize faces!
Many people think sheep aren't very intelligent creatures. But in fact, Q13.1.................... to new
research, they may be cleverer than we think. For example, sheep can actually be trained to
recognize human faces from photographs!
Recognising faces is an important human social Q13.2..................... However, it seems that sheep
are also social animals that can recognize other sheep as well as Q13.3.................... humans. In
experiments, researchers trained eight sheep to recognize the faces of celebrities from photographs.
Training involved getting the sheep to Q13.4.................... decisions about the photos they saw. At
one end of a room, they would see two different photographs and would receive a
Q13.5.................... of food for approaching the photograph of the celebrity; if they approached the
wrong photograph, they got nothing. Over time, they learned to Q13.6.................... getting food with
the celebrity's photograph. And after training, the sheep correctly chose the celebrity's face eight
times out of ten!

Central College student fashion show - review
by Sam Coulston, a college magazine reporter
As you may know, we had a fantastic fashion show here at the college last week. The aim was to

at the college and show parents and friends the results. And it was clear to us that Q14.2....................
were impressed by it.
The models that Q14.3.................... part in the show were actually the students themselves, wearing
their own clothes designs. Q14.4.................... were some amazingly creative clothes on show, such
as a dress made of recycled materials, and a coat that included every color you could possibly think
of! And the scenery, created Q14.5.................... the students in the Art Department, was really
spectacular too.
Mrs. Jackson, Head of Design, said: "There's absolutely Q14.6.................... doubt in my mind that all
these students are extremely talented - and I'm sure we'll hear more about them in the future. I wish
them every success in their careers."
