READING 1 Read the article and tick ( ) A, B, or C. Keep it in the family Wouldnt it be good to make your own money? Or would it? Well, a family in East London did just that and found out that they had to pay a high price for it! It sounds like a dream printing millions of 20 and 50 notes. No need to ever go to a bank again! Unfortunately, for this particular family the dream has ended in prison sentences for all of them. This illegal operation was the biggest that the police have ever seen in the UK. Over 14 million pounds worth of fake bank notes have been recovered and they think that this family business was producing over 66% of all fake bank notes in the UK. There could be many, many more. Only the family know how many notes are still out there and theyre not going to tell anyone. It was a very large, complicated, and successful business! The public have become interested in this story because of the family aspect. Four generations of the same family were part of the operation. The ages ranged from 23 to 85 and included grandchildren, parents, grandparents and even a great-grandmother! The great-grandmother, who was 85, lived in special accommodation for older people and the police found 22,000 of notes in a plastic bag on top of her kitchen cupboard, ready to be distributed! This forgery business was very well organized. It was run like a real business and each person had his / her place. They used very high-tech equipment to print and cut the fake notes and they had 20 different sites to keep the money, such as the great-grandmothers kitchen. The police watched the operation secretly for over four months before they arrested the gang. At the trial the judge told the public that they shouldnt feel sorry for people like this. They are organized criminals and they are stealing from everyone and hurting the economy. However, a lot of people have a secret admiration for the family. Is this a worrying fact or is it human nature? I wonder. Example:The family had international connections. A True B False C Doesnt say 1 Some people from the same family have been sent to prison. A True B False C Doesnt say 2 The family is from just outside London. A True B False C Doesnt say

3 They printed fake notes worth more than 14 million pounds. A True B False C Doesnt say 4 More than half the fake money in the UK was made by this family. A True B False C Doesnt say 5 The youngest member of the family is a teenager. A True B False C Doesnt say 6 The great-grandmother didnt live with the rest of the family. A True B False C Doesnt say 7 The money was all hidden in her house. A True B False C Doesnt say 8 The police caught them actually printing the money. A True B False C Doesnt say 9 They are all going to prison for the same number of months. A True B False C Doesnt say 10 The judge felt sorry for the family. A True B False C Doesnt say 2 Match five of the highlighted words / phrases to the definitions. Example:against the law illegal 1 2 3 4 5 discovered a fact _______ people in general _______ a place for somebody to live _______ places that are used for something _______ the process in a court where a judge decides if somebody is guilty _______
