Samuel F.B. Morse (1791–1872) is best known as the inventor of the telegraph and of Morse code. Morse used the discoveries of other scientists who had studied electricity but he was the one who put their ideas into practice.

1 It is 30 March. ❑

Morse was born in Massachusetts. He went to college and became interested in electricity. However, he decided to earn his living as an artist. He became a well-known portrait painter. He travelled widely in Europe, painting and studying art but also developing his knowledge of the properties of electricity.

3 The bank robbery in Birmingham happened yesterday. ❑ 4 The police arrested the robbers at the airport this morning. ❑ 5 The summer fashion show this weekend is in Rome. ❑ 6 Bright colours will be in fashion this summer. ❑ 7 The athletics competition is on television today at 1.30 p.m. ❑

On his voyage home from Europe to New York in 1832, Morse met another passenger, Dr Charles T. Jackson. Jackson described some experiments with electricity that he had seen in Europe. During these conversations, Morse started developing his ideas for an electromagnetic telegraph. Later, in 1837, Dr Jackson tried unsuccessfully to say that he had invented the telegraph. But other passengers who had been on the ship supported Morse. 5

8 A fire began at a clothes factory last night. ❑

Morse was appointed Professor of Painting and Sculpture at New York University in 1832. For the next twelve years, he worked to develop the telegraph. But it wasn’t until 24 May 1844 that the first Morse telegraph message was sent.

9 Some people were hurt in the fire. ❑ 10 The weather forecast says it’ll be dry everywhere today. ❑ / 10

Sign language or ‘signing’ should not be confused with miming. Miming is a performance art. Sign language is a form of visual communication. It has its own rules for grammar. The signs are made with the hands and face.

There is no universal form of sign language. Different sign languages are used in different countries. British Sign Language (BSL) is different from American Sign Language (ASL). 3 / 10

One in seven of the UK’s population is either deaf or hardof-hearing. This means there are over 8,000,000 deaf and hard-of-hearing people in the UK. However, only 70,000 of them use British Sign Language. 4 A sign language appears whenever there is a large enough population of deaf people. We do not know who ‘invented’ the first sign language. One of the oldest European sign languages is probably Old French Sign Language. This was the language of the deaf community in 18th century Paris.

1 The Prime Minister has been in Washington for three days. ❑ 2 After Washington, the Prime Minister is going to Germany. ❑

5

3 The bank robbers stole £860,000 from the bank in Birmingham. ❑

We can find the earliest records of Old French Sign Language in the work of the Abbé de l’Epée (1712–89). After meeting two sisters who communicated in sign language, he became aware of a community of 200 deaf Parisians. Epée used their sign language to develop his own sign system.

4 The phone number to ring about the bank robbery is 0121 376 5978. ❑ 5 Bright colours will not be fashionable for men this summer. ❑

6

6 One of the most fashionable colours last winter was dark green. ❑

8 A British runner has won the men’s 400 metres race. ❑

Epée established deaf schools in France. These schools then developed around the world and influenced other sign languages, including American Sign Language. From the dictionaries of sign language that Epée published, we can see that his signs are related to sign languages today.

4 Nowadays, some Inuit singers such as Tanya Tagaq Gillis perform as solo throat singers. Tanya is well-known internationally for her performances with the pop musician Björk. In 2005, she won ‘Best Female Artist’ award at the Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards. 5

Chores at home

3 Tom takes the dog for walks. 4 Tom cleans his dad’s car.

Inuit arts such as carving, textiles and throat singing are popular today, not only in Canada but globally. Throat singing is traditionally performed by two women who stand facing each other. One singer begins by singing a short tune which she repeats with silent gaps between each repetition. The other singer fills the gaps with a different tune. The competition usually lasts up to three minutes until one of the singers starts laughing or is left out of breath.

5 Tom does the washing-up at weekends.

❑

Traditional Inuit games and sports are an important part of the bi-annual Arctic Winter Games, which began in 1970. In one Inuit game called ‘One-Foot High Kick’, the athlete jumps from both feet, tries to kick the target (shaped like a seal) with one foot, and then lands on this kicking foot. In another Inuit game, ‘Sledge Jump’, the athlete must jump over sledges for as long as possible.

Spending and saving

The Inuit are the native peoples of the north of America and especially of Arctic Canada and Greenland. In 1977, the word ‘Inuit’ (meaning ‘people’) was officially adopted to replace the term ‘Eskimo’.

Glebe School ‘Songs from the Musicals’ Time: 4 p.m. Tel: Day 5 01202 Evening 6 01202

2 The Inuit were traditionally hunters and fishermen. At sea, they hunted whales, walruses and seals. Their boats, made from seal-skin, were called ‘qajait’. Europe later copied the design of these boats and called them ‘kayaks’. Nowadays, Inuit work in industries such as mining, oil, administration and tourism. Many still earn extra money by hunting.

2 Emma and Tom are talking about money. Decide if the sentences about one of them are (T) true or (F) false.

Inuit art is of great interest today, not only in Canada but globally. One of the most famous Inuit artists is Pitseolak Ashoona, who died in 1983. Her pictures of monsters and spirits from Inuit legends, as well as scenes of traditional Inuit life, can now be seen in galleries around the world. The largest collection of Inuit art is in Canada’s Winnipeg Art Gallery.

Emma gets pocket money from her parents every T week. ❑ Pocket money

The film Atanarjuat: the Fast Runner , based on an ancient Inuit legend, was written, filmed, produced, directed and acted almost entirely by Inuit. It is the first feature film with all the dialogue in Inuktitut, the language still spoken by the Inuit tribes of northern Canada. The film won the Caméra D’Or award at the Cannes Film Festival in 2001.

Inuit men and women traditionally wore watertight boots, thick trousers and a ‘parka’ (a pullover jacket), all made of skins and furs. The hood of a woman’s parka was often made extra large to protect her baby from the icy wind when held against the mother’s back. Like the ‘Inuit’ word ‘kayak’, the word ‘parka’ has been borrowed by other languages to describe this type of jacket. 4

A tiger will usually have more than a hundred stripes on its body, varying in colour from light brown to black. They are the biggest and heaviest cats in the world. Male tigers weigh 200–320 kg and are 2.6–3.3 metres long. At night, tigers can see six times better than humans. 3 Tigers hunt animals such as deer, wild pigs, water buffalo, young elephants and sometimes leopards and bears. If a tiger kills a human, it is usually because the animal is injured or ill and unable to hunt its usual food.

A century ago there were over 100,000 tigers, but now there are fewer than 2,500 adult breeding tigers in the wild and they are an endangered species. The biggest threat to tigers comes from humans, who destroy their land and often kill them for their fur. Also, parts of the tiger’s body are used in traditional Chinese medicine. It seems likely that the last known wild South China tiger was shot and killed in 1994. There are about 59 South China tigers in captivity in China, but it is predicted that this tiger will eventually become extinct. The South China tiger is the most endangered subspecies of tiger today.

The most important time for a polar bear is from April to July when when there is a huge seal population population for for them to hunt. hunt. They usually kill a seal every five to six days at this time. The bears can then store fat to give them energy later, when they may have to wait days or even months between meals. 5 Polar bears travel an average of 24 km a day and are the most nomadic of all bear species. As the ice moves north in the summer months, polar bears travel with it and continue to hunt.

Are these sentences about Jim about Jim true true or false?

T The questionnaire is about the environment. ❑

The biggest threat facing polar bears today may be global warming. Longer ice-free periods mean that polar bears are left onshore and unable to get food. They must wait until the ice freezes and they can hunt again. Another globally produced danger comes from chemical pollutants that get into the Arctic system and into the seals that the bears eat. A third threat comes from plans for gas and oil developments in north-eastern Alaska, which is a favourite area for female polar bears to build their dens and have their cubs.

1

On his first morning at school in Cleveland, a teacher asked him his name. He replied ‘J.C.’ She thought he had said ‘Jesse’. From then on, he was always called Jesse. The sports coach at this school saw Jesse run and immediately asked him to join the school track team.

2

He paid for his studies by working as a night lift-operator. On 25 May 1935, Jesse achieved something that had never been done before in track and field events: he set three new world records and equalled a fourth, all within the space of 45 minutes.

3

He was the first American in the history of the Olympic track and field events to win four gold medals in a single Olympics.

4

At that time, black Americans did not have equal rights. Jesse worked as a playground caretaker and later as a jazz disc jockey. He also earned money by running against people, cars, motorcycles, horses and dogs. He toured with the Harlem Globetrotters basketball team, running against horses in an exhibition before every game.

5

He became a successful public speaker and started his own public relations company. He also sponsored and took part in many youth sports programmes in underprivileged areas. He died in 1980 but his work continues in the Jesse Owens Foundation, which provides financial assistance to young people.

1

She worked as a singer and actress and started using the name ‘Coco Chanel’. She learnt to make dresses and hats. In 1910, Chanel opened her first hat shop in Paris. Her hats became very popular in fashionable society.

2

Women loved her relaxed casual fashions, short skirts and short hairstyles. By the 1920s, her fashion house had expanded considerably.

3

This was her perfume, Chanel No. 5, which became and remains popular. The fragrance is supposed to be named after her lucky number. Pierre Wertheimer became her partner in the perfume business in 1924. His grandsons own the perfume company today.

4

There were so many protests from her customers all over Europe and the USA that she came out of retirement at the age of 71 and re-opened her fashion house. In 1957, at the Fashion Awards in Dallas, USA, Chanel and her Spring Collection received the Fashion Oscar. She was recognised as ‘the most influential designer of the twentieth century’.

5

However, her fashion house remains an important influence in the fashion world today under its Artistic Director, Karl Lagerfeld. The Chanel 2006 Fashion Show displayed a youthful look, in colours of pink, peach and pale blue. The review of the show in the New York Times was headed ‘Vive Chanel – Ever So Young’.

She loved books and was a wonderful storyteller. Arthur described how his mother’s voice would sink to a ‘horror-stricken whisper’ when she reached a particularly dramatic part of a story.

2

He was sent to a boarding school for seven years and hated it. His only moments of happiness were when he wrote to his mother and when he played sport.

3

He practised medicine and specialised in eye care until 1891, when he became a full-time writer. He returned to work as a doctor during the South African War (1899–1902).

4

Other Sherlock Holmes novels followed. At one point, Doyle felt that he had had ‘an overdose’ of Sherlock Holmes and ‘killed’ his detective in The Final Problem, published in 1893. However, Doyle’s readers were so disappointed that he decided to bring Sherlock Holmes back to life in a story called The Empty House, published in 1903. By the 1920s, Doyle had become one of the highest paid writers in the world. He died in 1930.

He would listen and learn from the older musicians. Later on, he played in the brass bands on the steamboats on the Mississippi River.

2

In the 1920s and 30s, he continued to make recordings but changed to playing the trumpet. He also toured and used to play more than three hundred concerts a year. As his music developed and his popularity grew, his singing also became important

3

The public preferred other types of music and there was also competition from television. It became impossible to finance a sixteen-piece touring band.

The group made many recordings. In 1964, Armstrong knocked the Beatles off the top of the pop charts with his recording of ‘Hello Dolly ’, which gained him a US record as the oldest artist to have a Number 1 song. He kept up his busy tour schedule until a few years before his death.

5

As well as his influence on the development of jazz, he is remembered in other ways. He set up a charity to educate disadvantaged children in music, and he left his house and all his books and recordings to the City University of New York.

Anna: Thanks, Tony. Right, well, my family are from Poland. I was born there, in Warsaw. We moved here – to Manchester – six years ago, when I was ten. My dad’s an engineer and my mum’s a nurse. I’ve got a younger sister and an older brother. My main hobby is playing football. I’m pretty good at it. Last year I was captain of the girls’ under-16 team at school. My best subject at school is chemistry. I love doing all the experiments. I want to study chemistry at university, then perhaps be a chemistry teacher. I think it’s a ver y

Well, I’m Tony Evans and I was born here in Manchester, and I’ve lived here all my life. It ’s a really cool city with lots going on. My parents are both teachers, but luckily they don’t teach at my school. I’ve got two older brothers but no sisters. My main hobby is photography. I like taking photos of buildings best. I’m not so keen on taking photos of people or animals. My best subject at school is definitely art, but I don’t think I’ll go

Why’s that?

silver car, but we didn’t find it anywhere. The next development was that Mr and Mrs Wilcox received a ransom note on Thursday morning. The note demanded £90,000 for Jamie’s safe return. The note instructed Jamie’s mother to take the money to West Park and to leave it in the phone box there. Of course, we were watching all the time as Mrs Wilcox took the money to the park. She left the money in the phone box at two o’clock. A few minutes later, the kidnapper picked up the money and we arrested him. He is now at the police station. He told us where he had taken Jamie. We found Jamie in a flat near the cinema, together with the kidnapper’s girlfriend. Jamie is now with his parents at the hospital, where doctors are checking him over. When we searched the flat, we found two one-way plane tickets to Mexico. The kidnappers were obviously planning to escape with the ransom money and fly to Mexico. We’ll be giving more information about the identity of the two kidnappers shortly. In the meantime, if you have any questions, I’ll be pleased to try and answer them …

And here is a summary of the local news in your area. There was a fire during the night at the art g allery. A member of the public saw flames in the building at about 2 a.m. and called the fire brigade. The fire brigade arrived quickly and the fire was put out within two hours. The fire fighters had removed as many paintings as they could, and so fortunately most of the paintings are not damaged. Police have arrested two men and a woman in connection with the bank robbery last Thursday. They were arrested in a flat near the bank. When police searched the flat, they found almost all the bank notes packed in three large suitcases. There will be a concert at the Town Hall this evening, given by the Schools Youth Orchestra. The concert starts at 7.30 but there
