His teachers thought he was a natural pilot and told him to join the Russian Air Force. He became an excellent pilot. And he was now a husband and father. But when the first Russian satellite went into space, he wanted to become an astronaut. After two years of secret training, the doctors chose Yuri because he was the best in all the tests. On 12 April 1961, when he was 27, he finally went into space. It was very dangerous, because the doctors didn't know if Yuri could survive the journey. When he came back to Earth he was famous, and he travelled around the world to talk about his experiences. He wanted to go into space again, so in 1967 he began training for the next space flight.

Reading: Read the following passage then answer the questions below: For 99% of human history, people took their food from the world around them. They ate all that they could find, and then moved on. Then about 10,000 years ago, or for 1% of human history, people learned to farm the land and control their environment. The kind of food we eat depends on which part of the world we live in, or which part of our country we live in. For example, in the south of China they eat rice, but in the north they eat noodles. In Scandinavia, they eat a lot of herrings, and the Portuguese love sardines. But in central Europe, away from the sea, people don’t eat so much fish, they eat more meat and sausages. In Germany and Poland there are hundreds of different kinds of sausages. In North America, Australia, and Europe there are two or more courses to every meal and people eat with knives and forks. In China there is only one course, all the food is together on the table, and they eat with chopsticks. In parts of India and the Middle East people use their fingers and bread to pick up the food. Nowadays it is possible to transport food easily from one part of the world to the other. We can eat what we like, when we like, at any time of the year. Our bananas come from the Caribbean or Africa; our rice comes from India or the USA; our strawberries come from Chile or Spain. Food is very big business.

Reading: Read the following passage then answer the questions below: Once upon a time, a businessman named Ray Kroc discovered a restaurant owned by two brothers. The restaurant served just four things: hamburgers, French fries, milk shakes and coca cola. But it was clean and inexpensive, and the service was quick. Mr. Kroc liked it so much that he paid the brothers so that he could use their idea and their name: Mc Donald's. Beef, big business and fast service were the three main things when Mr. Kroc opened his first Mc Donald's in 1955. Four years later, there were 100 of them. Kroc knew Americans liked success. So he put signs saying how many millions of Mc Donald's hamburgers people had bought. In just four years, the number was one hundred million. Now, there are more than 13,000 Mc Donald's restaurants from Dallas to Paris and from Moscow to Beijing. Anyone who wants to open a Mc Donald's must first work in one for a week. Then, they do a ninemonth training programme, in the restaurants and at "Mc Donald's University" in Chicago. There they learn the Mc Donald's philosophy: quality control, service, cleanliness and cheap prices. Mc Donald's has strict rules: hamburgers must be served before they are ten minutes old, and French fries, seven. Mc Donald's has never stopped looking for new methods to attract customers, from drive-in windows to birthday parties. Chicken, fish, salad and, in some places, pizza are now on the menu.

When he was five, he tried to fly by jumping off the garden shed with a golf umbrella, but when he grew up he didn’t become a pilot, he became a taxi driver. Then 20 years ago he did a parachute jump and loved it. He decided that being a taxi driver in London was a lot more dangerous than jumping out of a plane, so he moved to the country to learn parachute jumping and sky-diving. He is now a full-time teacher of sky-diving. He says: “I love sky-diving because the world looks so good - blue sky, green fields, white clouds. You float through the air, it’s like floating in water. You can see forever, all the way to the French coast. The views are fantastic. You can forget all your worries. People think it’s dangerous, but it’s safe. Football is much more dangerous. Footballers often have accidents. When did you last hear of a skydiving accident?

Reading: Read the following passage then answer the questions below: Tudor Bowen-Jones is going to spend his 90th birthday doing what he loves best – hitch-hiking. Tudor, a retired teacher from South Wales, has spent 60 years hitch-hiking all over the world. He is now on his seventh passport and wants to be in Vienna for his birthday. Tudor’s first journey abroad was to France and Belgium in 1974. Now he likes to make two or three journeys a year. But he has never learned to drive. Tudor says:” I started hitch-hiking round Britain in the 1940s when I didn’t have any money. It was the only way to travel. I’ve been to 40 countries, and I think it’s an excellent way to visit places and meet people. People are usually surprised when I tell them what I am doing!” His journeys have taken him across Europe, the Middle East, and South America, and he has taken all kinds of interesting lifts. He has hitch-hiked with a horse and cart in Hungary, ridden a motorbike across Egypt, sat in the back of a hearse in France, and enjoyed the comfort of a RollsRoyce in Germany. The longest he has waited for a lift is twelve hours. Once a driver took out a gun. Tudor was frightened, but the driver cleaned the gun and put it back again! Tudor says that hitch-hiking is not dangerous, if you are careful. He has made friends all over Europe. They come and visit him in his little home in Wales. “I’m always going to hitch-hike,” Tudor says.
