Tekst 1. (transkrypcja nagrania)

"One summer an elderly gentleman moved to a house in a peaceful street near a school. Then the school year began. Every day, three boys walked down the street banging on every trash can they passed on their way. The man approached them and said, 'I love what you're doing, I did the same when I was your age. I'll give each of you a dollar a day if you keep doing this.' The kids were thrilled and continued to bang the trash cans on the street every day. After a few days, when the man met the boys again, he said, 'I've had some unexpected expenses, so now I can only pay you 50 cents a day.' The noisemakers weren't happy, but they accepted his offer. A few days later, the old man told them he had to lower their wages again. 'Only 25 cents?' the boys exclaimed. 'No way. We quit!' And from that day on, the man could enjoy peace and quiet around his house again."

Interviewer: "Jayne, people are reading fewer and fewer books, so how does your library keep its doors open?" Woman: "When I noticed a significant drop in the number of users, I felt at a loss. I could either reduce our opening hours or close the library altogether. However, I knew that many library users would be shocked and upset if I had to give up. The only alternative was to create an online library offering digital versions of the books. And, believe me, our regular users took to it! The comments they left on social media were a real morale booster for me. Also, I soon started getting more and more online loan requests. Now, my library also offers a platform where ideas and views about books and art are exchanged."

Tekst 3. (transkrypcja nagrania, do zadań 1.3.–1.6.)

"When I was in high school, my parents decided I should finally learn to cook for myself. When they were going out one evening, my dad said 'There's a pizza in the fridge'. All I had to do was to follow the instructions, which were: pop it in the oven and set the timer. What could go wrong? However strange it may sound, while I was taking the pizza out of the oven, I didn't pay enough attention and it slipped out of my hands. It ended up falling face-down onto the flame in the oven and caught fire. I immediately threw some water onto it to put the fire out, so nothing terrible happened, but that incident discouraged me from cooking for years.

A decade later, I'm still living in New York, a city where the need to cook is basically non-existent as at the push of a button you can have pizza, sushi or any other type of food delivered to your doorstep. Still, my strong aversion to cooking became downright embarrassing as time went by. Plus, eating out with a bunch of friends every single night was not doing my finances any favours. So, I tried to use apps which give demos of how to make easy meals, but it didn't work out for me. I felt I had to be taught how to cook by someone personally. That's why one of my New Year's resolutions was to enrol in a cooking course. I hoped it would strengthen my determination, and it did. Right at the beginning of January I did some research into cooking courses available in my neighbourhood and signed up for one. I've been attending the classes for two months now and I have discovered that I really enjoy making bread and cakes. The precision required for that is something much more relaxing than the improvisation that goes into other kinds of cooking. I only regret that I now have to pay to learn how to cook although I could have learnt it for free from my dad, if only I'd wanted to. So, am I the next Master Chef? No. But I still hope I will be able to make a simple meal for my friends one day."

"Being an undercover hotel inspector is something I truly enjoy. I always have my story all worked out in advance. But once, when I was sent to review a farmhouse hotel, as soon as I showed up, the receptionist asked me if I had come for the event which was being held in the town. On impulse, I decided not to use the story I'd made up and spontaneously said 'yes', even though I didn't know what event it was. To my surprise, I was immediately shown to the hotel dining room, where I was seated at a large table with people who had come to take part in the event. It turned out that the event was a farm machinery and agricultural services show, so I had to pretend throughout the evening that I was a potential client!"

"All my working life has revolved around hotels. I studied hospitality management and after graduation worked as a chef and a restaurant manager. Then, one day I spotted an advert for the position of undercover hotel inspector. It sounded perfect. There were 100 applicants, but my vast experience in the trade landed me the job. I've stayed in mansions and five-star hotels in the world's biggest cities. But sometimes I'm sent to test out a farmhouse in the middle of nowhere. And, while the experience may not be luxurious, it does give me an opportunity to enjoy quiet walks in the countryside."

"My job involves inspecting hotel restaurants. It's not unusual for me to have two starters, two main courses and two desserts, and then call room service for a midnight snack. The food is sometimes horrible but I have to try it anyway. I don't let anyone know who I am until I pay the bill after breakfast. Then there's usually a kind of nervous energy in the air. But my job is not about giving bad reviews. It's about giving objective feedback and exploring areas where there's room for improvement."

I was successful, and now I've been working as a hotel inspector for about 3 years. At the beginning, I wasn't sure that it was what I really wanted to do, but after some time I changed my mind. My assessment starts the minute I arrive at the hotel. I begin with evaluating the check-in process. In the hotel restaurant I'll even make a note of how long my water glass sits empty. The evaluation is as much about the staff as it is about the hotel itself."

"As an undercover hotel inspector I have to be creative. Staff can sometimes be very inquisitive. They wonder 'Why has she come all by herself to an expensive resort like this?' I always have a good story prepared. I frequently say that my friend's just had a baby, so I'm in town visiting… Then, just in case they have any suspicions, I will, for example, ask the receptionist where I can purchase baby clothes. And in this way I also test the staff's local knowledge, which is part of the hotel assessment."

Woman: "We've all caught ourselves feeling hungry while watching food commercials. However, you wouldn't want to try the actual onscreen food. Today I'm talking to Nick Owen, a producer of food commercials. Nick, how do you make food in advertisements look so delicious?" Nick: "There are lots of methods. When you advertise milk on its own, for example, it's usually shown being poured into a glass and it always looks fresh. But if you add it to cornflakes, they absorb it and look unappetizing. So instead of using real milk, advertisers use glue. But not just any glue. Obviously, it must be white."

BIG BEN

A. Visitors to London often refer to the famous clock tower and the clock itself as Big Ben. But that's not accurate. Big Ben is only the name of the bell inside the tower. The tower is called the Elizabeth Tower. Not many people know that it leans. This is only seen by those few passers-by who take the time to study its exterior very closely, because the tower leans only slightly – about 0.04 degrees.

B. Big Ben first chimed in July 1859, but two months later a crack appeared in the bell. This was most likely caused by a worker carrying out routine maintenance. As a result, the bell fell silent for four years. When the bell chimes, it not only informs Londoners and tourists about the time, but also illustrates an interesting phenomenon. As sound travels slower than radio waves, people listening to a live radio broadcast will hear the bell's chimes one-sixth of a second earlier than people strolling past the clock tower.

C. The clock's maintenance book reveals that the clock's hands were blue when it was built in 1859, but London's smog gradually turned them black. In the 1980s, a new coat of paint was applied. This time the colour black was chosen to avoid discolouration. The clock's hands are illuminated by 28 energy-efficient bulbs, each of which has a lifetime of 60,000 hours. However, from 1939 to 1945, the authorities decided to make an exception – the clock's hands remained unlit in compliance with wartime blackout rules.

D. Inquisitive tourists will come across descriptions of some occasions when the clock's timekeeping was affected by external factors. For instance, the clock's time was altered in 1944 when a flock of starlings rested on one of the hands. The birds were so heavy that they slowed the mechanism down. On another occasion, on 31st December 1962, heavy snow and ice caused Big Ben to chime in the New Year with a 10-minute delay.

MEETING YOUR DOUBLE AT 30,000 FEET

Having seatmates can be the most irritating part of air travel. Spending a few hours next to a chatty stranger or a noisy eater can really be a passenger's worst nightmare. But what would you do if you sat down next to… yourself?

That's just what happened to Neil Thomas Douglas, a Scottish photographer travelling to Ireland. 5.1. _____ What he couldn't know was that Robert Stirling, a 35-year-old civil servant from Redbridge, who was sitting there, wasn't actually supposed to be in that seat. 5.2. _____ As Mr Douglas asked the other man if he would let him take the window seat, things took a funny turn. The moment Mr Stirling raised his head, Mr Douglas noticed that the man bore a striking resemblance to him. Lee Beattie, who accompanied Mr Douglas on the trip, said they all had a laugh about it and everyone around them was amused, too. 5.3. _____ In it, you could see two strangers looking so strikingly similar that you might want to start playing 'spot the difference'. Social media users expressed surprise and even disbelief that the two men weren't related.

However, the coincidences didn't stop with that chance encounter on the airplane. 5.4. _____ Lee Beattie says both men shared another joke about it and parted ways. Some might say that two such encounters in a day were enough, but there was still more to come. Later that night, Mr Douglas decided to go to a local pub, The Quays. And just imagine, his 'twin' was there, too. 5.5. _____ That one, however, clearly showed that, despite their facial similarities, Mr Douglas is a little older than Mr Stirling.

Brakujące fragmenty A–F: A. When Mr Douglas checked into his hotel in Galway, he saw Mr Stirling in the lobby. It turned out the two of them had booked at the same place. B. They all seemed to be eager to grab the opportunity to be photographed together with the two men. C. They chatted over a drink and, obviously, took another selfie to commemorate the occasion. D. A couple of minutes earlier, he had actually swapped places with a girl so that she wouldn't have to be separated from her boyfriend. E. When Mr Douglas boarded his flight, he noticed that the place next to him was already occupied. F. Encouraged by the passengers' reactions, the lookalikes decided to capture the moment, so they took a selfie and later posted it online.

Tekst 1. THE WRECK OF THE TITANIC

Ever since the 'unsinkable' Titanic struck an iceberg and sank during her maiden voyage in 1912, she has been present in the popular imagination. A series of best-selling books and feature films has helped to keep her story alive, but as I see it, the most important factor in people's ongoing fascination with the Titanic is the discovery of the wreck in 1985. Before 1985, it was thought that the wreck was in one piece that might one day be raised. However, it turned out it had broken into two parts while sinking, and then hit the ocean floor at a speed of about 48 km/h. The result was not a neat wreck, but piles of steel fragments that have been slowly eaten away by salt corrosion and metal-consuming bacteria. Since the wreck was found at a depth of 3,810 metres in the North Atlantic, it has been monitored, but only a few scientific expeditions have been carried out. Sadly, a manned dive to the Titanic which took place in 2019 revealed a shocking deterioration in the wreck's condition.

The video recording made during the expedition shows that a big section of the ship has been covered in rusticles, which develop as the bacteria slowly consume metal. Lori Johnson, a scientist on the expedition, said in an interview, 'We knew the wreck was going to continue to decay over time, it's a natural process. But we didn't suspect that it would happen so fast.' Parks Stephenson, a Titanic historian on the expedition, said that some parts of the captain's quarters had completely collapsed. The most shocking area of damage was the starboard side of the officers' quarters. 'The captain's bathtub, a favourite image among Titanic enthusiasts, is now gone,' he said. 'That whole deck on that side is collapsing together with the staterooms.'

The lack of light and intense pressure at a depth of nearly 4 kilometres make the wreck's environment inhospitable to most marine life, apart from the microbes which have colonized the ship. As a result, it will eventually dissolve into a fine powder and be carried off by ocean currents. Probably, there will be nothing left of the wreck by 2030. Fortunately, the 2019 expedition used specially adapted cameras that allowed computerised 3D models of the wreck to be created. The scientists plan to publish their material as a documentary.

Tekst 2. THE DISCOVERY

'Welcome aboard, Dr. Johnson. How are you feeling?' 'I'd like to know what's going on,' Norman Johnson said. 'How about some coffee first?' Barnes said, and then the room suddenly went dark except for a ray of sunlight that streamed in from a side porthole. A man came in through a side door. 'Working on it, Captain, but the sea is rough, so it may take some time,' he said. 'These things weren't built for the kind of power loads we put on them now. And – ah, there we are.' The lights came back on. Barnes smiled. 'Coffee, Dr. Johnson?' 'Black is fine,' Norman said. Barnes poured him a mug. 'Thank you. So, why was I called here? I'm usually called to airplane crash sites,' Norman said. Barnes seemed uncomfortable. 'Actually, this isn't an airplane crash site, Dr. Johnson. It's a spacecraft crash site.' Norman nodded, 'I see.' 'That doesn't surprise you?' Barnes said. 'No,' Norman said. 'Actually, it explains a lot. If a military spacecraft crashed in the ocean, I can understand the secrecy. When did it crash?' Barnes hesitated before answering. 'We believe,' he said, 'it crashed about three hundred years ago.' There was a silence. Norman struggled to understand what he was being told. Three hundred years ago, he thought. But the space program wasn't three hundred years old. It was barely thirty years old. So how could a spacecraft be three hundred years old? Barnes must be mistaken. But how could Barnes be mistaken? He went over it again and again, getting nowhere, his mind dazed and shocked. 'Absolutely no question about it,' Barnes was saying. 'We can approximate the date from coral growth with great accuracy. Pacific coral grows two-and-a-half centimetres a year, and the object – whatever it is – is covered in about five metres of coral. That's a lot of coral. Of course, coral doesn't grow at a depth of a thousand feet, which means that the present shelf collapsed to a lower depth at some point in the past. The geologists are telling us that happened about a century ago, so they're assuming the craft is about three hundred years old. But it could, in fact, be much older. It could be a thousand years old.' Barnes shifted papers on his desk, arranging them into neat stacks, lining up the edges. 'I don't mind telling you, Dr. Johnson, this thing really scares me. That's why you're here.' Norman shook his head. 'I still don't understand.' 'We sent for you,' Barnes said, 'because of your association with the ULF project.' 'ULF?' Norman said. And he almost added, 'But ULF was a joke…' Seeing how serious Barnes was, he was glad he had caught himself in time.
