But Carla’s grandmother secretly gives her the extra money every time Carla sees her. Carla’s parents know what is happening!

Carla __________.

2. About travelling

In the old days, people travelled very little because travelling was slow and difficult. It took two weeks to travel from London to Edinburgh by coach. Now the journey takes eight hours by a fast train. Columbus needed more than two months to cross the Atlantic Ocean. The ultra modern airliners flying at supersonic speed made the same trip in less than four hours. Today it is even possible to travel to the Moon and back within a week.

The text says that travelling is now __________.

5. From Great Britain

They are perhaps the best known icons of Britain, and if you’ve ever been to London, you’ve probably seen them. They are the soldiers in bright red jackets or shining helmets, who stand outside Buckingham Palace, or in Whitehall. They are men who can stand absolutely still, even when tourists tell them jokes, touch them, push them, or try to make them move. They look identical, and they march like robots.

According to the text, the soldiers __________.

Otázka 6 z 10
6. A baseball game

Ralph and Ilene hadn’t been to a baseball game in about five years. They were only 15 miles from the stadium, but the heavy traffic on game day made those 15 miles seem more like 60 miles. It took about an hour to get to the stadium. Then, when the game was over, it took half an hour just to get out of the parking lot. Then the drive home was another hour. In other words, the travelling took longer than the game itself.

Ralph and Ilene __________.

8. Madame Tussaud´s

Many people like to see celebrities; but celebrities don’t usually like being looked at - at least, not all day every day! There is, however, one place in England where you can look at celebrities every day: this is Madame Tussaud’s, the most popular tourist attraction in London. On most days of the year, queues of visitors can be seen outside Madame Tussaud’s, all wanting to get in and see some of the most famous people in the world.

What does the text say about Madame Tussaud’s?

9. From the news

Last month Sam and Jane Barnes, twins from Barnstaple, were invited to London by an electronics company to test a new family computer. The company invited them onto a ship on the River Thames. Sam, who is only 12, has already written several computer programs and he thinks that computers are better than TV: “Instead of sitting doing nothing, you can make a computer talk to you and play games.”

Sam __________.

10. A news item

Beverly Hills is one of the richest cities in America. It attracts tourists from around the world and is home to many expensive hotels and restaurants. The former Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and his friend, the actor Sylvester Stallone, have been known to enjoy a cigar on the patio of a local cafe. But such behaviour will be banned from October after Beverly Hills city council voted to create smoke-free areas outside restaurants. People will be able to smoke in sectioned-off areas around hotel swimming pools.

What is the best title for the news item?
