London
Eight million people live in the centre of London
and another two million people go to work there
every day. The city centre is very noisy with hundreds
of cars, buses and taxis, but there are also a lot of
beautiful parks with free music concerts. At lunchtime
and after work, many people go there for a break.
Tokyo
Parts of Tokyo are always crowded with hundreds of
people, but there are no ca rs. These modern no-car
zones are very popular and people like shopping
there.
Bogota
In the past, Bogota was polluted because there were
lots of cars and traffic. Now the city centre is a no-car
zone and the air is clean! Many people don't have a
car and half a million people go to work by bus every
morning.

LANGUAGES
First place and first language

The other 6,996 languages

There an; over one hundred and ninety countries in the world
and about scvcu thousand languages. Iu first place is China.
1l1ere are over one billion speakers ofM:rncl:lrin Chinese. Tn
second r lace is India with sreakers ofI l indi. And in th ird place
is Spanish. Spain isn't a big country, but there are over four
hundred million Spanish speakers in different countries around
the world.1his is very true in Latin America.

Chinese, Hindi, Spanish and English are the 'big'


languages. About eighty per cent of the world's
populat ion speak them. But these arc only four
languages, so what about the other <i,996 l:rnguages?
Many countries have lots of different languages. For
example, on the islands of Vanuatu in the South Pacific
Ocean there are sixty-five different islands and they
have one hundred and uiuc diffcn:nt languages.

English as a global language


As a first language, English is in fourth place. About three
hundred and eighty million people are native English speakers.
But English is in first place as a second language for many
other people. O ver a billion people speak English fur doiug
business, reading the news or studying science ancl mecl icine.
l n some countries, English is not the native language, bur it is
the official language for the government and in schools. And
even in L ~ndon, the capital city of Britain, there are over three
hundred di fTerent languages.

The last speakers


l'inally, there are some languages with only one speaker.
They are old people and they speak the language of
their parents and grandparents. For example, Charlie
Mu ld11ng::i lives in Au strnli::i. H e speaks F.nglish because
it is the first language of the country. I Iowever, his
native language is Amurdag. lt's an ancient language
and he is the last speaker of this Aboriginal language.

Cliff diving is a very exciting extreme
sport and Cyrille Oumedjkane is an
expert cliff diver. In this photo, he is in
Kragero, Norway at the cliff diving world
series. He can jump between twenty
and thirty metres into the water teet tirst.
(Normal divers jump from ten metres or
less and they jump into the water head
first.) He can jump from any high place.
'I cliff dive because I don't like soccer.
I like the adrenaline,' he says.
.J

You can 'highline' in lots


of different places, but
mountains are popular. You
put a line between two high
places and walk across.
In this photo. American
Andy Lewis walks above a
canyon in Utah, USA. It's
early eveninQ so he can't
see well. Also the wind is
strong so Andy can't walk
fast, but highlining is a great
adventure.

In this photo Justin Ferrar flies above Fronalpstock in the

1 Why are new seeds important?

4 How many varieties of seeds are there?

A lot of countries need different types of seeds so they can


plant them again. There is an important reason for this.
Sometimes plants don 't grow in a country because of bad
weather or disease and so farmers need new seeds.

There are about half a million varieties of seeds inside the


vault. For example, there are varieties of seed for rice from
Asia and Africa, 32 varieties of seed for potatoes from
Ireland and seeds for different chillies from the USA.

2 Where can countries store the seeds?

5 How long can the seeds live?

You can store seeds in a 'seed vault'. It's a place at a special


temperature. The seeds don't grow, but they can live for a
long time. Norway has the biggest seed vault in the world the Svalbard Global Seed Vault - and it has seeds from a lot
of different countries.

The seed vault has space for a lot more seeds. In total ,
you can put about 2.2 billion seeds inside. The seeds
can live here for thousands of years because of the cold
temperature of -18 "C. So, in the future, humans can grow
any seed they want. In other words, the seed vault is the
difference between life and death.

3 Where is the Svalbard Global Seed Vault?


The vault is on the island of Spitsbergen. The island is about
one thousand kilometres from the North Pole. It's a very
cold place so it's good for seeds. Above the ground, the
doorway is small, but inside the building is huge. You walk
down a long corridor and one hundred and thirty metres
inside a mountain. At the end, there are three large
areas with seeds.

beautiful objects from gold and sliver.
In 2009, Birmingham Museum and Art

Birmingham. The next day, archaeologists
81udled the objects. They were from

It was a long and dangerous journey. Van


Ryneveld and Quintin Brand fl ew in a plane
ca lled the Silver Queen. They travelled from
England to Italy. Then, a few days later, they
took off again for Egypt . They didn't stop over
the Mediterranean Sea and landed the next
day in Cairo.

In 1920, a British newspaper offered 10,000 to f ly from England


to South Africa. Five aeroplanes entered the compet ition, but four
aeroplanes didn't finish the journey. The pi lots Pierre Van Ryneveld
and Quintin Brand f inally landed in Cape Town and won the race .

BD
Eventually, 44 days later, t hey landed in Cape
Town and won. However, the newspaper
didn 't give them 10,000, but only 5,000 .
This was because they didn't use the same
plane for the whole journey. But it was st ill an
incredible journey.

oD
Through Africa, they had a lot of mechanical problems with the
plane and its eng ine. The worst problem was in Bulawayo. The
Silver Queen couldn't take off so in the end they changed their
plane for a different one.

TheLONGEST
TN
On 20th August and 5th September in 1977, two
spacecrafts took offfrom Florida, USA. Voyager 1 and
Voyager 2 stnrled a long nnd difficult journey to the end
uf the solar system. They flew past new places in our solar
system and sent photos of planets and moons to NASA
(National ilerona11lics and Space ildministration).

Voyager 1'i; journey


Voyager 1 arrived a LJu pi Ler, the lnrgest phmet in the

solar system. AL a distance of ::349,000 kilometres from


Earth, scienlists rercivC"d thC' best photographs of the
planet from Voyager 1 and they discovered a lot about
Lhe planet's weather from them. They studied the
clouds, lightning and strong winds of three hundred
kilometres per hour. Jupiter also has a moon with
volcanoes. Voyager l's next stop was Saturn. Saturn is
smaller than Jupiter and it's most famous for its rings.
Prom Voyager l's photographs, scientists discovered the
rings are mostly water and ice.
Voyager 2's journey

Voyager 2 also visited Jupiter and Saturn after Voyager


l , but then it continued to Uranus. Uranus i5 the
coldest planet in the solar system. There is a lot of ice
on the surface. During its journey rom1d Uranus, there
were mechanical problems with Voyager 2's camera.
Eventually, scientists fixed it and Voyager 2 traveUed
to Neptune. Neptune is the furthest planet from the
sun (4.5 billion kilometres) and it was the last planel on
Voyager 2's journey.
The journey continues
The two Voyagers finished their official journeys in 1989,
but they continued travelling. Now they are at the end of
our solar system and scientists think the two spacecrafts
can travel until 2025. So Voyager 1 and 2 are on their
most amazing journey: into space outside our solar
system.

to Kodari at the border with Nepal. It's the highest road
in the world . It's also a very long journey. You travel for
three days through the Himalayas and you can see the
north side of Everest.
This afternoon, we were only ten kilometres from Kodari
and suddenly the bus stopped. The driver got out and
looked at the engine. For the next three hours, he tried to
fix it, but it didn't start.
Finally, a lot of the passengers got out and started to walk
to the border. I felt sorry for the bus driver because he
looked a bit sad. However, I also wanted a good hotel and
a hot meal so I also left the bus and walked to Kodari.

1 ln yo ur country, are ta ttoos in fashion? Out of
fashion? Traditiona l? Not part of the cu lture?
2 Do you like ta ttoos on other people?
Why? I Why nut?

In many cou nhi es, tnttoos nre in fashion. On TV you can often see a famous
actor with a picture on her arm or foot, or your fovourite musician with a
word on his hnnd. Many sports personalities have got them on their
necks and backs. In the USA, tnttoos nre very popular. Forty per cent of
Americans aged between twenty-six and forty have got a tattoo and sixty
per cen t or customers in US tnttoo shops are women. These people are
often professional people like doctors, teachers and bwyers.
However, tattoos are not modern. l.n fact, they are very old in humnn
history. For exnmple, nrchneologists found a human in ice from five
thousand years ago. He had fifty-seven tnttoos on his back, ankles,
legs, knees and feet. They were used for many different reasons
loo. In ancient Egypt, people put on tattoos because they were
'beautiful'. 8ut in ancient Rome, Lalloos were negntive and put
on criminnls and prisoners. In India, tattoos were religious.
In the sixteenth and seventeenth century, European sailors
arrived in the islands of Polynesia. They saw tattoos for the first
time. The people on the islands had tattoos on their shoulders, chest,
backs and legs. Often lhe tattoos were of animals or natural features
like a river or a mountain. The European sailors liked them and made
their own talloos. And so the idea travelled to Europe. Tattoos in
Polynesia are still important today. They show information about a
person's history, their island or their job.
So is there a connection between traditional tattoos and fashionable
tattoos? And can you call lalloos Cl foshion? Chris Rainier of Natiunal
Geographic is an expert in tattoos and his book ilncienl Marks has photos
of tattoos from all over the world. Tle thinks people in modern societies often have
tattoos because they are a cormection with the haditional world. /\nd anyway,
tattoos aren't a fashion like clothes or a haircut because you can' t pul them
on and take them off again like a jacket or a hat. They are permanent
and for life.

You can see paintings of nature everywhere in the world. Many


artists paint and use nature in their work, but the results arc ve ry
different. Art critic, Liz Searle-Barnes looks al five of them.

fitmi1/am '// ftA-1<.m1(: Stanislaw Witkiewicz was born in 1885 in Zakopane.


He died in 1939 but you can see his paintings in art galleries in Poland. Many
people like Witkiewicz's paintings of people's faces, but I prefer his paintings of
nature and landscapes. He painted this one in 1907. It shows the Hinczow Lakes in
the Tatra mountains in southern Poland. There are the green fields and the white
rocks and I like this painting beca use the water in the lake is so blue. I w ant to
swim in it.

l/1//9L'/' /1?1/r!I llumlmoalamala

In the past, Aboriginal people painted


pictures of nature and animals on rocks. In parts of Australia, their Rock Art is
30,000 years old. Nowadays, modern aboriginal artists also paint nature. For
example. this colourful painting by Ginger Riley Munduwalawala (1937- 2002)
shows hills, rivers. birds and kanagroos.

, t/u/t) .C/{1/0,10/t;<' Japanese art is famous for landscape paintings. You can
often see the sea and sky, and the mountains and trees. Ando Hiroshige worked
in the nineteenth century and he's one of Japan's most famous artists. He printed
and so ld thousands of beautiful prints in his lifetime. However, he was poor when
he died.

C/)11/Jltc'/I. <"/({/wt Damien Hirst is the richest artist in England . He is a painter,


but he is more famous for art with different animals (living and dead) includ ing
a cow, a sheep and a shark. In one room of a gallery, he put lots of fruit and rea l
butterflies live there. They fly round the heads of the visitors. For some people he
is a genius, but other people disagree. Personally, I like his work, but I prefer his
early paintings.

r/ tmwtl rt im h(;ylt Van Gogh made eleven paintings of sunflowers. They


were also Van Gogh's favourite paintings because he loved the colour yellow.
I prefer his other paintings, but many people love his sunflower paintings. They are
everywhere. You see them on cards, postcards and T shirts. Van Gogh died with no
mo ney, but in 1987 someone bought the last sunflower painting for $49 million.

very slow. Overall, it's a bit disappointing.

EJ After the show, we had a meal at this new place in

4 Where du you need Lo put th<' camera?
A camera trap is a
special type of camera.
When something moves
in front of it, it takes a
photograph. Wildlife
conservationists use
this technology because
animals come near the
camera. They can get
a lot of information
about the animals during the day and also at night.
Sometimes, camera traps take photos of animals you
rarely see.
There are also disadvantages with a camera trap.
When a plant moves in the wind, it sometimes takes
photos with no animals. It's also difficult to put the
camera in the right place. You need to put them
where animals spend time and usually this isn't easy.

there are four computers in the average British household.

six out of ten people say their life is better with technology.

The researchers also say that new technology has changed


our world forever. Modern communication is a good
example of this. For example, have you ever telephoned
from a public telephone? Have you ever written a letter
by hand? Many people haven't done these things or they
don't do them anymore. Tn particular, the survey found
that young people have never done the following activities

they haven't invented or we don't use in our everyday life. Are they

1 Invisible objects

3 Teleporting

Many scientists have tried to invent invisible objects, but


they haven't done it. One scientist at Tokyo University tested
cameras on a coat. The cameras filmed objects behind the
coal and showed them on the front of the coat. Unfortunately,
the coat wasn't very comfortable! The car manufacturer
Mercedes also tried these cameras with a car. They pul the
camera on one side of the car and showed the images on the
other side. But as you can see in this photo, the wheels aren't
invisible.

Teleporting is moving objects and people from one place


to another without transportation or walking. Teleporting
is a very fast way to travel, but scientists haven't discovered
how to do it. Solid objects are made of atoms and with
teleporting you have to move each atom one by one.
A human being is made of trillions of atoms, so it's very
difficult and scientists don't have the answer at the
moment.

2 Flying car
With all the cars on the road and the problems of traffic, why
haven't flying cars become popular? One reason is because
cars are very heavy so they are difficult to fly. There are olher
problems as well. Cities have roads for cars, but they don't
have runways. And we have so many problem s on our normal
roads, do we really want the same problems in the sky?

4 Robot servants
Actually, scientists have invented robots, so why don't we
all have them? Probably because the technology is very
expensive and the robots ohen break down. But many
companies in Japan have made prototype robots for
houses. They wash clothes, switch on the TV, turn off the
lights and change the music. Many scientists think we can
all have a robot servant in our home in about ten years.

CLIMATE

CHANGE

Climate scienlisls have measured the


lemperature and rain foll on every part of
the Earth over many years. They look at
the changes and predict th e future with
the information. The first map shows
the temperalure uver 30 years. In most
parts of the world, the temperature has
increasc<l by a few degrees an<.l scientists
think il will im.:rease in the future.
The second mnp shows rainfall on lhe
Earth over 30 years. The amount of rain
is very different from region to region .
Ralnfilll has increased in some countries
and scientists think it will increilse In the
future . nut rainfall hns also decreased in
other parts and , in these regions, it won't
increase. It will decrease.
Jn conclusion , the changes in c limate will
continue in the nexl cenlury. The Earth
will feel hotter and rainfall will he higher
for some plilces, hut lower for others .

Italy, near the city of Naples. Vesuvius began because
the two 1 _

region. Nowadays, it's still an J
volcano, but
there hasn't been an 4
for many years. Visitors
can see where the 5

Do you often forget new numbers? For example a

Some people 'see' th e number in thei r brain. Maybe the
numbers are in col our or they see the numbers like a
picture . You can also repeat the number a f ew ti mes or
learn the numbers in groups. So you remember t he f irst
two numbers because it's your age. And the next three
numbers is the house number of a friend. We remember
better when w e make it personal.
