That’s What Friends are for

And I never thought I’d feel this way,

And as far as I’m concerned

I’m glad I got the chance to say

That I do believe I love you.

And if I should ever go away

Well, then close your eyes and try

To feel the way we do today

And then, if you can, remember

Chorus:

Keep smiling, keep shining,

Knowing you can always count on me, for sure;

That’s what friends are for.

For good times and bad times

I’ll be on your side forever more;

That’s what friends are for

b. The origin of the score system in tennis.c. A great male tennis player.d. The woman that won more titles at Wimbledon.e. The kind of court where this tournament is played.

2. Read the text again. Match the phrases in columns A and B.

Tennis started in France nearly 1,000 years ago. The

game was originally played in the courtyards of royal

palaces, using the walls (like squash) instead of a net.

The score system (15, 30, 40) is probably based on the

four quarters of a clock face.

One of the most important tennis tournaments is

Wimbledon. It is the only Grand Slam tournament which is

played on grass. Open tennis started at Wimbledon in 1968

. It means that

amateurs and professionals can play in the Championships. In

2000, the Russian amateur Vladimir Voltchkov came to the

semi-finals.Pete Sampras is the most successful male pla

yer in Wimbledon. He

won the tournament seven times. Even more impressive is

women's champion Martina Navratilova with nine victories.

The prize money for the 2008 Championship was approximately

£ 11 million. Of this, the men's singles champion receives

£ 750,000 and the women's singles champion receives £750,000.

Wimbledon is the only tournament free from sponsorship.

This means that there are no advertisements around

the courts.

I. __________________________________________________

Greenhouse gases, cars, and coal are some of the factors

that cause global warming. When we burn wood, coal, or

gasoline in our cars, we release a gas called carbon dioxide.

It traps some of the energy from the earth and doesn't let

the energy go back out into space.

When carbon dioxide in the air goes up, the earth heats up.

That is the start of global warming.

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. There are several other

greenhouse gases. Carbon dioxide is responsible for about

half of our global warming and all the other gases are

responsible for the other half.

III. ______________________________

Scientists think that temperatures will

go up between 2 and 6 degrees over

the next century. This will cause sea

ice to melt and result in a rise in sea

level.There will also be more evaporation

that will cause more clouds and more

rainfall. Some scientists also think

that there will be more hurricanes as

a result of global warming.

II. ______________________________

almost the same from year to

is higher, then we have global

warming.

Amazing CreaturesWritten by Isabelle Tin-Aung

There are amazing and interesting creatures in the animal kingdom. Some of these creatures doincredible things with their bodies.

Look at the chameleon. This lizard can change its skin color to match itssurroundings. Why does it do this? Sometimes it’s because it’s angry. Andsometimes it’s because it’s meeting another animal in a friendly way.

The grizzly bear is another interesting creature. These bearslive in countries where winters are very cold. One of the things the grizzly beardoes is hibernate in the winter. Hibernating is when an animal goes into a deepsleep. The bear hibernates during the winter because the weather is very cold. Theground freezes and food is difficult to find. Sleeping helps these animals survive inthe difficult winter. Grizzly bears can sleep for up to seven months with no foodor water!

An amazing underwater creature is the flying fish. You already know that fishcome in lots of shapes and colors, but they all do three important things.

All fish live in water.All fish swim using their fins.All fish use their gills to get oxygen from the water.

Flying fish are a little different from ordinary fish. These fish have “wings” to help them fly outof the water. They make long, flying jumps out of the water. Why? Because big fish like to eatthem! The big fish can’t see the flying fish when they’re in the air.

Do you know where your blue jeans come from? Read this simple but amazing story.

Imagine it’s the year 1853. Mr. Levi Strauss arrives in San Francisco and he opens a store. He

has many customers who often visit the store. One of his customers is Mr. Jacob Davis. He

usually buys shirts and pants, but he needs his pants to be stronger. What can he do?

Suddenly, he has a brilliant idea: he puts metal rivets on the pockets.

His pants now look very nice and original and are an instant success. Many people want to buy

pants like these. So, Jacob now needs a business partner and asks Mr. Levi Strauss to be his partner.

They are very good friends and go together to get a patent for the design. They get patent #139,121

from the US Patent and Trademark Office 20 years later, in 1873. Strauss and Davis never imagined

that they were going to design the most popular jeans on earth!

(Latin name delphinidae) are aquatic mammals and they can

swim in the ocean at speeds of 35 kilometers per hour and

they can also dive. Dolphins are found in many parts of the

world and usually live in groups called schools or pods. They

are also very sociable animals and they are famous for their

intelligence. Scientists often do studies on dolphins and we

now know that they can communicate in many different

ways. For example, they can imitate actions and understand

artificial symbolic language, but they can’t produce human

verbal language.

B Read the text below.

Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin, and Michael Collins were three braveyoung men who set off from Cape Canaveral in Apollo XI on July 16,1969, to go to the moon. They arrived four days later, after anuneventful journey of some quarter of a million miles. Armstrong wasthe first human being to set foot on the moon. “That’s one small stepfor a man,” he said over a worldwide radio transmission, “one giantleap for mankind.” Armstrong and Aldrin spent a day and a night onthe moon. The mission was a success. Apollo XI, with its precious cargoof brave men and moon rocks, splashed down into the Pacific Oceanon July 24. Today, some people believe that the landing was set upand that the journey never actually happened. What do you think?
