Do you have a smartphone? If you are between 12 and 19 years old, you probably do. Most of today’s youngsters can’t imagine life without a smartphone. They use their phones to chat with friends, play games, listen to music or surf the Internet. One thing they don’t usually use their mobile phones for, though, is to make long distance calls because they are too expensive. However, free services – such as SkypeTM and WhatsApp – allow them to stay in touch with friends wherever they are in the world.
Do they ever use their landlines? They do, but not very often, and usually only when they want to speak to older relatives. This generation of teenagers is very different from all the previous ones! Technology is part of their everyday life!

Roald Amundsen, a famous explorer
Roald Amundsen was a Norwegian explorer who was the first person to reach the South Pole in 1911. (1) However, his mother wanted him to be a doctor so he went to university. But when his mother died, Roald decided to stop his studies and become a polar explorer instead.
(2) First, they went to northern Canada and there, on King William Island, they met the Netsilik Indians. They taught Amundsen and his men how to live in the very cold area they wanted to visit. (3) From there, they crossed to Alaska. They were the first people in the world to do this. (4) He used dogs to carry his luggage, and he and his group of explorers arrived there on 14 December 1911. The journey to the South Pole and back to their camp was 1,860 miles. (5)
Later, Amundsen tried to be the first man to fly to the North Pole but he didn’t succeed. In 1928, he tried to save a friend of his who had an accident, but his plane crashed on the way. (6)

Unit 7 Test A
Most of us have hundreds of gadgets at home, but did you know that some modern gadget ideas came from popular films? For example, in Star Trek, the crew can have a conversation with the spaceship’s computer. Although our computers can’t do that very well yet, we’ve got some smartphone apps which can follow some simple orders! And tablets also first appeared in the Star Trek films!
And what about James Bond films? From James Bond’s watch with a laser beam for cutting through thick materials, to his car which could go underwater or turn into a boat, people have taken these ideas and used them to create real gadgets we can use ourselves. So, now we have smartwatches which can send and receive emails, and cars that can actually travel on water without sinking! Even the spy’s mobile phone could do things before real smartphones were able to do them, like take excellent photos.
So, the next time you watch a science fiction film, pay attention to the gadgets!

Unit 8 Test A
We have all seen photos of pollution and rubbish on our beaches and coasts, and in our cities and towns. But what about faraway places like the North and the South Pole or the Himalayas? Are they still clean and safe from pollution? (1) A few years ago, there was a documentary about how much rubbish there is on the paths to the top of Mount Everest. (2) And what about the oceans? Until very recently, scientists didn’t believe that pollution on land was such a big problem for marine animals in the seas. (3) For example, there’s a group of small islands, called the Midway Islands, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. There shouldn’t be any plastic rubbish there because there aren’t any people, but the photographs and videos tell a different story. (4) You see, our human rubbish travels in the water and arrives at the furthest places on Earth. Animals, which don’t know the difference between a plastic bag and a jellyfish, eat the rubbish and die.(5) And if marine life dies, humans will have a very difficult time surviving because we depend on other creatures for food. If we don’t protect the environment, things will be very difficult in the future. (6)
