The Amazing Race (TAR) is a popular reality TV show. Elise Doganieri and Bertram van Munster created it in 2001 and since then it has won many awards. In the show, teams travel around the world to different places. They try to arrive first, or at least not come last and they also try to win prizes on their journey. Every year, between 10 and 12 teams play on the show. There are two people in each team and they must know each other before they come on the game. For example, they can be husband and wife, parents and children, friends, etc. They have to travel to different countries and work together on the journey. The teams get some money at the beginning of the race and they use it to buy food, tickets, etc. They can use planes, trains, bikes or even skis to travel. The teams explore places they’ve never been to before and have games or ‘challenges’. These challenges have some connection to the country they are in and can be things like riding a camel, solving puzzles or eating a lot of food, for example. The teams often have to face extreme weather conditions during their journey. Many times they are outside in the rain or snow or in storms and get cold and wet. It’s all part of the experience, though. Each week, one team leaves the show, and in the end there are only four teams. The first team to get to the last city on the journey wins the game. TAR is a very hard game and the teams become really stressed, but it’s an amazing experience. 1. What do teams in TAR do? a. They do different sports. b. They win awards and prizes. c. They race to various places. 2. How many players are there on the show? a. between 10 and 12 b. between 20 and 24 c. two or more

3. Which of the following difficulties does the writer mention? a. wild animals b. bad weather c. strange food 4. What does the writer think of TAR ? a. It isn’t easy but it’s a wonderful adventure. b. It’s best for stressed people. c. It’s very dangerous but it can make you rich.

Havasu Falls are in the Havasu Canyon next to the Grand Canyon in the southwestern USA. There are actually three waterfalls in the area: Havasu, Mooney and Navajo . The waterfalls are in the Havasupai Indian Reservation, the home of the Havasupai people. ‘Havasupai’ means ‘people of the blue-green waters.’ The best time to visit the falls is in spring, in the months of April and May because the weather is cool, but it is warm enough to swim. Later, in summer, it gets hot and rainy and there can be floods, too. Visitors can camp in a campsite or stay at the Havasu Lodge . But you have to book a room at the Lodge three or four months before you plan to go. To reach the falls you start at the parking area at Hualapai Hilltop. From there you can walk, ride a horse or fly in a helicopter to Supai village, 13 km away. From Supai village it is about 4 km to Mooney Falls . You don’t have to be an experienced hiker to walk to the falls because the walk is safe, even for beginners. However, you must be very careful because there are many dangerous cliffs. There are also caves to explore on the way. It is a good idea to take water with you and to watch out for rattlesnakes, too. SCORE

Whether you walk, ride a horse or take the helicopter, the impressive waterfalls and the peaceful surroundings make this one of the most fascinating places you can v isit. It is an unforgettable experience.

1. Havasu is one of the three waterfalls in the Grand Canyon. 2. The months of July and August are not a good time to visit the falls. 3. The Mooney Falls are about 17km from the parking area. 4. The walk to the falls is dangerous for walkers without experience. SCORE

Twitter is one of the most popular and fastest growing websites in the world today. In fact, it’s the third most popular social networking website on the Internet after Facebook and MySpace . Twitter isn’t just about finding friends online. It’s about getting the latest news as fast as possible. Many people call it the “SMS of the Internet.” Twitter is something like a blog and a news site. You receive updates as soon as someone puts them on Twitter . When you get a new update, or “Tweet,” the website sends it to your mobile, too. That way, you know what’s happening in the world before anyone else! The website started in 2006 and Twitter already has about 5 million users, including presidents, politicians, celebrities, and college professors. Twitter is going to be one of the most important ways of communicating and receiving news in the future.

1. What can you do on Twitter ? 2. What is another name for Twitter ? 3. How can you receive an update on Twitter if you are not near a computer? 4. How many people are using Twitter today?

Last summer I went on a trip to Mexico. The country was beautiful and the food was fantastic. However, I will say that some of the food was too scary to eat. When we were at a small restaurant in Oaxaca, the waiter told us to try the chapulines . I didn’t know what they were, but according to him they were very tasty. My brother and I were waiting for our food, and soon the waiter brought our chapulines to the table. They were grasshoppers! My brother didn’t even want to look at them. I am more adventurous than he is, so I tasted them. They didn’t taste bad at all, in fact they were surprisingly good. They were sour and salty at the sa me time. I asked the waiter how they cooked them. I never thought they would be so easy to cook. The difficult part is buying the grasshoppers where I live. They don’t sell them in supermarkets. Well, I’ll just have to go back to Mexico and eat my chapulines there! s n o i t a c i l b u P M M © t h g i r y p o C

People don’t normally think of rats as heroes. In fact, rats have a pretty bad name as they are usually found in dirty places. Here are two stories that will hopefully change people’s minds about rats. Birgit Steich of Stuttgart, Germany and her family were asleep in their home one night when two burglars broke in. Gerd, the pet rat, who was hiding behind a bookcase jumped and landed with all four feet and sharp teeth on the face of one burglar. When Gerd was finished with the first burglar, he jumped on the other burglar’s leg and bit him hard on the leg. The fami ly woke up from all the screaming and immediately called the police. When the police arrived, they discovered that these two burglars were wanted for many other burglaries. In Devon, England the Gumbley family was asleep in their home when Fido, an eight-month-old pet rat, smelled smoke in the middle of the night. Instead of running outside to safety, the rat went straight to nine year-old Megan’s room. He started scratching the door until she woke up and realised that the house was on fire. Megan went to her parents’ bedroom and everyone managed to get out safely. Fido got a big piece of cheese for being a hero! 1. Gerd was asleep when the burglars broke into the house. 2. Gerd bit the first burglar on the leg. 3. The burglars were afraid of Gerd. 4. Gerd woke up the family. 5. It wasn’t the burglars’ first burglary. 6. Fido woke up Megan’s parents first. 7. Fido is younger than Gerd. 8. Fido got a special present.

WICKED Wicked is an internationally known musical about the witches in the novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The musical started on Broadway in 2003 and has been going on since then in cities around the world like Chicago, Los Angeles, London, Tokyo, Melbourne and Stuttgart. Wicked is based on the book Wicked : The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West , by Gregory Maguire. The book tells the story of the witches in Oz, Glinda, the Good Witch of the North and Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, and how they knew each other. It might surprise fans of the Wizard of Oz to know that these two witches were actually friends! Don’t worry, though. If you haven’t seen the original Wizard of Oz , you can still enjoy the show. Wicked shows how these two very different witches became friends and then enemies. Wicked gives the audience a picture of what it was like in Oz before Dorothy, the main character of the Wizard of Oz got there. If you like the Wizard of Oz , go see Wicked , the musical. The music and costumes are amazing and, of course, the story is really interesting.

Drive-ins or Drive-thrus? People in the U.S. love getting things fast, and one of the most popular ways to buy things is through a drivethru. In fact, these days people can do almost anything in a drive-thru. You can go to a drive-thru bank or restaurant, and if you want, you can even get married in a drive-thru! In L as Vegas, there are so many drivethru wedding chapels that it’s also called the ‘wedding capital of the world’. You can even have a wedding based on a theme, like Star Trek. Earlier, in the 1950s, though, drive-ins were very popular. A drive-in can be a restaurant, where you park your car and eat in it, or a drive-in cinema, where you watch a film on a big screen from inside your car. Drive-ins became less popular in the 1970s when drive-thrus first appeared. With a drive-thru, you don’t even need to stop your car! Who knows what the future of drive-thrus wi ll be. Some day we might be able to have a drivethru supermarket, or even a hospital!

1. Drive-thrus are popular in the US because people like to get things quickly. 2. Many people in Las Vegas have weddings based on a theme. 3. Drive-thrus made drive-ins less popular. 4. There are even drive-thru hospitals now.
