Text 1 00 Text 2 DD However, he often shocks people because he doesn't
look or behave like a typical classical musician . He
wears unusual clothes (he sometimes wears a football
scarf when he performs!) and experiments with different
styles of music. Nigel Kennedy's down-to-earth
behaviour makes him popular with people who aren't
usually fans of classical music.

 Why are typical teenagers
never tired at 11 p.m. but they
hate getting up in the morning?
Are they lazy? No, the good
'-'iii..iiiii:~iiiiiiil. news is that it's natural.
• Everyone has a natural body
clock which tells them when to
wake up and fall asleep. In teenagers , the chemical that
controls sleep, melatonin, is in their brains between 11 .00
p.m. and 8.00 a.m. The result is that teenagers don't feel tired
late in the evening but, when they get up before 8 a.m., their
brain is telling them to sleep. This lack of sleep means they are
often unhappy, angry, can't learn and get bad marks.
In the US, a lot of high schools start at about 7 .30 in the
morning . This means the students are at their desks after only
five or six hours sleep. However, they need 9-10 hours
because their bodies and brains are still developing so they
are very tired . Tiredness means twenty percent of high school
students fall asleep during their first two hours of school.
Sleep scientists are researching the problem. They say that it
is crazy to fight nature so the only answer is for schools to
start later. As one scientist said, 'At 7.30 a.m. students are at
their desks but their brains are at home in bed. ' Luckily, some
head teachers listened to the new scientific advice and
changed their school hours. The results are very interesting:
teachers and parents say students behave better, learn more,
get better marks and fewer students drop out.

 ne day, you may share a rented flat with other
O people . Sharing a home with other people can be
the most fantastic fun but it can be your worst nightmare
if you don 't think ahead .
People fall out over the tiniest things : Who finished the
milk? Who used all the hot water? Who played loud
music late at night? But you can avoid a lot of arguments
if you follow the practical advice below.

This is the most frequent cause of arguments. When

you move in , have a meeting with everyone and agree
how you will divide the bills . Don 't expect one person to
pay for the electricity and then try to collect everyone's
contributions.
2

People enjoy different levels of social interaction. Some
of us love chatting over a cup of coffee but some people
aren 't as outgoing as others . Learn to respect your
flatmates' space. Never go into someone's room when
they're out and always knock on the door if it is shut.
3 easiest to share with people who have similar standards
Hopefully, the accommodation will be spacious enough
for everyone to have their own bedroom . However,
there will be rooms that everyone uses, for example, the
kitchen and the bathroom. These common areas need
to have their own rules .
In the kitchen , make sure you always do your washing-
up (or load the dishwasher) and don 't help yourself
to anything in the fridge or freezer - you aren 't in your
parents ' house now!
The golden rule for any shared bathroom is : leave it
as clean as you like to find it. Clean the bath and don't
leave your dirty clothes and wet towels on the floor.
Obviously, some people are cleaner than others! It's
of cleanliness to you, but you 'll probably need to
compromi se. If the house gets dirty or no one does
the washing-up, have a chat with your flatmates about
having a rota for cleaning .
5
If a flatmate 's behaviour is driving you crazy, you need
to deal with the problem. It's not a good idea to leave
angry notes or to get revenge . The best answer is to
discuss the problem in an open and friendly way.

3 Match the underlined words with the definitions.

GRAMMAR 2 Use the prompts to write sentences with who,

Relative pronouns
Arelative pronoun introduces extra information about
aperson or thing in a longer sentence.
I For people, use who or that
Mr Todd is the man who / that bought my dad's car.
• For things, use which or that
That is the car which / that Mr Todd bought from my dad.
I For places, use where:
This is the tree where Mr Todd crashed the car.
I We use whose to join two sentences instead of his, her,
their or its.
This is Ben. His sister is in your class.
-+ This is Ben whose sister is in your class.
whose, where or which.
Those are the stairs I broke my arm.
Those are the stairs where I broke my arm.
1 That's the girl I met in the shopping centre.
2 There's a shop you can buy some fascinating
gadgets.
3 The couple live next to us have got five
children.
4 There's a shop near my home sells cheap
games consoles.
5 He's the boy dog bit me .

Some words are no longer necessary when we join two

sentences in this way. 3 Nadine took some photographs of her life in New
York. Match the phrases and write what she says.
That is the car. Mr Todd bought it from my dad. Make other changes if necessary. Two sentences
-t That is the car which Mr Todd bought from my dad. (it) do not need relative pronouns.
This is the tree. Mr Todd crashed his car here.
-t This is the tree where Mr Todd crashed his car.(#eFe)
You can miss out who, which and that when they are
followed by a noun or pronoun.
This is the man -wIw I told you about.
I'm going to the party #Iat she invited me to.

Mind the trap!

Whose and who's (= who is) both sound the
same but the spelling is different and the
words have different meanings.

Who's looking after the children?

NOT Whose looking after the children?

TheEarth 's weather is changing . In the past, natural events caused these climatic
changes but now scientists use the phrase 'climate change' to talk about changes
whichstarted with the growth of industry in the nineteenth century. The changes
people are worried about now are the result of human behaviour - not natural
changes in the atmosphere .

Scientists study unusual weather events, for example heatwaves, and other evidence
of climate change to predict our future weather. A very important part of their work is
looking at the long-term effects of climate change on our environment. For example,
water is extremely important for human life. Is rainfall gOing to increase? Or will there
be less rain and more hot weather? Some people believe that water is so important
that there will be wars about it in the future.

There are a lot of things we can do to slow down climate change. Instead of using coal , oil and gas which
produce greenhouse gases, we will need to get more energy from sources such as the sun, wind and water.
Already, there are wind farms in Europe and governments are going to build more. We can also be more
environmentally-friendly in our own lives. For example, when you go to bed tonight, are you going to turn off
your computer and TV or will you leave them on standby? This weekend, are you going to use public transport
or drive your car? By making small changes in our lives, we can help to save energy and reduce pollution .

Do you know about the Kyoto Protocol? In 1997, the countries of the United Nations met in Kyoto, Japan and
agreed to try to control climate change. In 2005, the agreement became international law. The countries which
signed the agreement are going to reduce their greenhouse gases by 5.2% before the end of 2012. The only
two industrial countries that didn't sign the agreement are the USA, the world's biggest polluter, and Australia.
In 2009, world leaders met again for the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark.
After a lot of discussions and arguments, they agreed to continue trying to reduce greenhouse gases but, this
time, it isn't a legal agreement.

the right steps
~ is very difficult for people who work in show business to find permanent
jobs. Out-of-work actors, singers and dancers often work in bars or
restaurants while they are looking for work.

However, when 19-year-old Heidi Calver moved to London to build her

career as a dancer, she decided not to be a waitress again. 1 'I hoped to
get work as a full-time dancer but I knew that was an impossible dream!
I don't mind working in cafes and bars but I prefer being in touch with
other dancers and entertainers. I looked for jobs which are linked to show
business and I was very lucky - I got a job as an evening manager for a
small dance studio in north London.'

While Heidi was working for the dance studio, she learned that a lot of
the teachers at the studio got their jobs through an Internet job agency for
dancers. She applied for a job with the Internet company and a week later
she was part of the sales team. After only a month, the manager asked
her to be his personal assistant. 2 'It was a promotion with a pay rise so I
said 'yes!' immediately.'

The company is one of Britain's largest agencies for performing artists so

Heidi is always very busy. 3 'I look after my boss's diary, make his travel
arrangements, answer the telephone. In fact. I don't mind doing anything
to help! I might take photographs of aspiring dancers for the website, look
for twenty singers for a big London musical, find a pianist for an orchestra
or help someone to write their Cv.'

4 'I hate being bored so this job is perfect for me - and it keeps me close
to the world of dance. I hear about dancing jobs and my boss is very
good at letting me have time off - last month I did a rock video and the
month before I was in a children's IV programme.'

5 'I still want to make my career in dancing but I'm happy to wait. I'm very
lucky -I enjoy my job and every day is an adventure!'

Stars against the Paparazzi

The paparazzi are photographers who take photographs of the
rich and famous, often from a long way away so that the person
who they are photographing doesn't know about it. When they
are close to the people they are taking pictures of, they often do
or say things to make them act in a way that makes a good
photograph. They shout things to make them angry, the person
turns round and, click, a nice photo to sell to the newspapers.
1997 changed everything as Princess Diana was killed in a car
crash, trying to escape from paparazzi photographers with her
boyfriend , Dodi Fayed. Since then , stars have started to fight
back.
In 1998 a new law was introduced in America, the Personal

history of dishonesty': he was asked to
leave school because he had stolen and
sold exam papers. When he was twenty,
he had deceived several wealthy peop le
into giving money to a non-existent
charity for sick children. However, the
judge explained why she had decided to
give him a short sentence. 'You are a
young man and I want to give you a
second chance. I hope that your time in
prison will be a short. sharp shock and
that you will change your behaviour,'
she said.
Cooper's legal representative said, 'At
the time of the crimes my client was an
immature person. He lived in a fantasy
world and he thought that he could buy
frie nds. But, of course, he didn 't make
any true friends. Today, he is a lonely
and rather unhappy young man. I think
he has learned hi s lesson.'
After the judge had sentenced Mr '
Cooper, his parents said, 'Andrew is a
good son. He has done some silly things
but he isn't violent. He's learned the
hard way that he must be honest.'

FILMS ~~

Butch Cassidy and

the Sundance Kid
O ne of the best films about criminals
ever made was the 1969 story of
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
1_ _ There is a story that Butch
Cassidy's first crime was to steal some
clothes . He had gone to town to buy
a suit but, when he got there, the shop
was shut. 2_ _ This story may not
be true but it shows that he was a
'gentleman criminal' who liked stealing
money but tried not to hurt anybody.
He and his gang robbed banks and
trains and, in 1900, he met up with
Harry Longabaugh, alias the Sun dance
Kid. They kept on robbing trains. In one
robbery, they killed someone who
worked on the railway. 3_ _ For a
few years they lived normal lives but
then they started robbing banks again.
Nobody knows why. 4_ _ ln 1908,
there was a bank robbery in Bolivia and
the police shot the two men who had
committed the crime. After that,
nobody heard of Butch Cassidy and
the Sundance Kid again so everybody
thinks they were the robbers but
them die. The film was very successful.
7_ _ The two actors joined up with
the same director in 1973 for The Sting,
nobody really knows. another comedy-crime film .
The film starred Paul Newman and
Robert Redford. Paul Newman was
already very famous but Robert
Redford was almost unknown. 5_ _
He thought about Marlon Brando or
Steve McQueen. In the end, Robert
Redford was perfect.
The director was George Roy Hill. He
made the film so that the two criminals
were the heroes. 6_ _ One famous
part is when Butch Cassidy rides a
bicycle while the song 'Raindrops Keep
Falling on my Head' plays on the
soundtrack and, in parts, it is almost a
comedy with some clever dialogue. The
film is also famous for its ending where,
as the two criminals are dead , the film
stops so that you don't actually see
