Transport in London is expensive. The fare depends on the length of the journey; you cannot
buy or book tickets in advance. Children under sixteen pay half, and those under five travel free.
You usually buy bus tickets from the conductor, but some buses you pay the driver. Most
London buses are double-deckers. On the underground railway (or tube) you buy your ticket
from the machine or ticket office, and give it up at the end of the journey. Not all trains from one
platform go to the same place, so watch the signs. The last train leaves at 1.15 p.m.

motion in pictures for centuries. Even prehistoric artists showed animals running in their cave
pictures.
Near the end of the 1 9th century, several Europeans and Americans tried to make movies.
No one knows who made the first one. New York City had the first movie theatre in 1 894.
People put money in a small machine and looked into it at the movie. By 1900, movies were
popular all over Europe and the United States. They were not very good, but people liked them
because they were new and different.
Every year people invented ways to make movies better. They invented machines to show
the pictures on a screen. Then everyone could see the motion pictures on the front wall of a
theatre instead of inside a small machine. In 1927, inventors add sound to movies. Then they
added color.
Today it costs several million dollars to make a movie.
However, movie makers collect million dollars from people at
movie theatres because everyone loves movies.
to clean and decorate their homes, and enjoy special food such
as sticky rice cakes. Family members who live apart try to be

Passover is in late March or early April. This festival is
celebrated in Israel and by all Jewish people. On this festival,
people celebrate freedom from slavery. Passover is also an
ancient spring festival. On the first and second nights of
Passover, Jewish families eat a special meal called the Seder.
Easter is a joyful festival which is celebrated in many
countries. It happens at around the same time as Passover. On
Easter Day (Easter Sunday), young children receive chocolate
or sugar eggs - as long as they are good. In many countries,
people crowd the streets to watch colorful parades.

(8)............................. By not wasting energy, we will save a lot of (9).............................
resources, such as (10)............................. and oil.
Many people still believe that natural resources will never be used up. Actually, the world's
energy resources are limited. Nobody knows exactly how much fuel is left. However, we also
should use them economically and try to find out alternative sources of power. According to
Professor Marvin Burnham of the New England Institute of Technology, we have to start
conserving coal, oil and gas before it is too late; and nuclear power is the only alternative.
However, many people don't approve of using nuclear power because it is very dangerous.
What would happen if there were a serious nuclear accident? Radioactivity causes cancer and
may badly affect the future generations. The most effective thing is that we should use natural
resources as economically as possible.

Someone really should do something about the traffic. It's terrible. It's getting worse every
day. There are so many cars on the roads these days. It's a nightmare driving in the city. Bumper
to bumper even at midnight. I don't know where all this traffic came from. You turn on the radio
and the traffic report is all about congestion here, snarl-ups and gridlocks there. The answer must
be to get better public transport. Let people take the train or bus. People need to leave their cars
at home. The roads are too dangerous. And then there's the pollution. It's disgusting outside
sometimes. You feel like you're breathing pure fumes. We need to get rid of these traffic jams so
we can move and breathe more easily.

Listening transcript:
Hello. I'm going to talk about British festivals. I'm sure you've heard about the Notting Hill
Carnival in London and the Edinburgh Festival, but today we're going to look at a lot more that
you might not know about. Actually, a lot of these are not exactly festivals, but strange races or
competitions. Some of them are ancient and some are modern.
So, let's start in January in the north of Scotland with the Burning of the Clavie. This is a
whisky barrel which is set alight then carried through the streets as a bonfire. It's an ancient
tradition which always takes place on 1 1th of January, the first day of the year, according to an
older form of the calendar. The bonfire brings good luck for the coming year and people used to
keep bits of burnt wood as protection against evil spirits.
Another kind of race takes place in spring - cheese rolling. In Gloucestershire, in the south-
west of England, round cheeses in round boxes are sent rolling down a hill and people run after
them and try and catch them. The hill is very steep, so people often fall over - if you take part in
this you need to be very fit and wear your oldest jeans. Nowadays this strange custom attracts
visitors from all over the world, but the people from the local village are usually the ones who
catch the cheese.
From people-racing, to animals, very tiny animals. World Championship Snail Racing
takes place in a village in Norfolk. The snails have to race from an inner circle to an outer circle
and the winner gets a lot of lettuce. There's a party and barbecue for the snail owners and
observers. This custom began in the 1960s after a local man saw something similar in France. In
the UK we don't eat snails, by the way.

Solar energy is the key to our future. If we do not use it, our planet will not survive. We do
not have enough resources on Earth to supply our energy needs. We are slowly using solar
energy more. Most places you go in the world today you can see solar panels on people's houses.
I hope that in the future, all houses will use solar power. It's so simple. In fact, it's free. All you
have to do is pay for the solar panels and some other equipment, and then you have free energy.
Research into solar energy is still in its early days. I think in the future it will be everywhere.
We'll be able to buy solar panels from our local DIY store. I also think we'll be wearing clothes
that provide solar power, and we'll be driving cars powered by solar energy.

Listening transcript:
Now we already have some apps that allow drivers to alert others to traffic jams or
accidents. Soon, cars will automatically contribute to a shared mesh of traffic and routing
information through vehicle-to-vehicle communication systems. In addition to providing better
traffic reports, these systems—through which cars will constantly transmit their location, speed,
and other data—are expected to make driving much safer. If a driver brakes suddenly, or makes
a blind turn, the car will issue a warning to others nearby to help them avoid a collision. The
NHTSA expects vehicle-to-vehicle communications to result in significantly fewer accidents
each year. Some cars will soon have built-in systems they will appear in certain 2017 Cadillac
and Mercedes-Benz models but dashboard-mounted systems, similar to the original GPS units,
will also become available.

Because of human overpopulation, the world is changing. Japanese cities stretch for miles
without any greenery; the dense network of freeways in the Netherlands looks disgusting, and
the northeast of the USA is a very crowded place. But overpopulation involves more than
numbers. Population densities do not reveal that large parts of countries are not habitable or
suitable for agriculture. Russia and Canada are big, but who wants to live north of the 55th
parallel? China has its own problems, and most of the population lives in the eastern lowlands,
where crops can be grown. The western deserts, highlands, and plateaus do not support good
farming and are only suitable for ranching. Depletion of natural resources is also a problem.
Populous countries have already used up their resources and are forced to import raw materials

Is there an energy problem? Some people think so. Using oil is bad because it makes dirty air.
In addition, there might not be much oil in 30 years. One possible answer is energy from
wind.
How does wind power work?
Special machines change wind into electricity. They are called wind turbines. These big,
heavy machines can weigh 300 tones and stand 130 meters. Sometimes you can see a large group
of turbines in the countryside or near the sea. That is called wind farm.
Many wind turbines have three long sticks called blades. When the wind moves, the blades turn.
When blades turn, they move a special stick called a shaft. The shaft turns generators which
make electricity.
One large turbine can produce enough power for about 300 homes for a year. That number
depends on the size of the turbine and amount of wind.
Not everyone thinks wind turbines are good. Turbines make a lot of sound and kill a lot of
birds. They also cost a lot of money. Often, people in a city with a wind farm pay more for
electricity, not less.
There is one serious problem. Wind power cannot replace other energy, like coal or oil. That
is because wind power does not always work. When the wind stops, there is no electricity. That
means a city needs another way to make power. Cities that buy wind power have to purchase
another source of energy.
Wind power seems like a good idea, but today, the cost is high and its benefits are limited.

When I was young, we never used the word recycling. It wasn't important. People would think
you were crazy for recycling things. Today, things are different. We now know we have a
problem. We use too much stuff and throw everything away. Lots of the stuff we throw away is
very useful. It can be used again, recycled. This is good for the environment because we use
fewer natural resources. I love recycling. It makes me feel as though I'm helping the Earth. I
even buy things like used furniture and clothes. This also recycles. Some of the countries I've
lived in are experts at recycling. There are giant bottle banks at the end of the street and places to
leave newspapers, clothes, batteries and metal.

Listening transcript:
To many people, using public transport may not be as enjoyable as travelling in your own
personal vehicle. However, it helps ease congestion, reduce emissions, and give you plenty of
quality time to people watch, as well as get to know your "neighbors." In addition, public
transport allows you to relax, read or nap during that commute instead of fighting and stressing
and feeling the road rage. Buses, trains, light rail and ferries can make your travel paths quicker
than sitting alone in your car. It means they can help cut down travel times. If you need to use a
car, see if you can car-pool. Each of these options is much better than flying. In a car, four
people would only be responsible for emitting only 104 kilograms of C02, whereas in a plane
they would generate 736 kilograms of carbon dioxide. A cross-country train trip would generate
about half the green house-gas emissions of driving a car.
