Tekst 1.

Woman: I can't bear this "hot desking" system they've introduced in our company! It's so frustrating! I'm never sure where I'll be sitting. Do you feel the same?

Man: To be honest, I don't mind it. I love the fact that I can choose any available desk. I'm sure you'll get used to it.

Woman: Oh, I'm not so sure. The "first come, first served" system really annoys me. When I want to work at a certain desk, I have to arrive at work early – not to get the work done, but to get the desk I want. In my opinion, they should introduce some kind of booking system. It's so irritating when someone asks a colleague who arrives early to save a seat for them.

(adapted from keyinteriors.us)

1.1. From what the woman says, we can conclude that

A. she doesn't consider all the desk locations in her office equally attractive. B. she doesn't understand how the "first come, first served" system works. C. she doesn't mind the present system of reserving desks.

Tekst 2.

When Louisiana police were informed that bags of stolen cash totalling over 60 thousand dollars had been hidden by thieves in a river, officers were sent to search for the money. The task was difficult because some beavers had built a dam across the river, creating a deep pool of water. The police began to take the dam apart to lower the water level. To their surprise, they discovered lots of one-hundred-dollar banknotes mixed in with branches, grass and leaves. Apparently, the clever animals had found the bags of money, torn them open and used the banknotes in the same way as leaves! Officers worked until midnight to recover the cash, and then dried the banknotes in a clothes dryer. The beavers repaired the dam by morning, and the thieves were eventually caught.

1.2. Which is the best headline for the news story?

A. THIEVES USE ANIMALS TO COMMIT A CRIME B. LOUISIANA POLICE HELP SAVE A DAM C. AN UNUSUAL BUILDING MATERIAL

Tekst 3. (do zadań 1.3.–1.6.)

Known around the world as an emblem of Los Angeles and an icon of the movie industry, the Hollywood sign has its origins in the year 1923. This was when Harry Chandler, the publisher of the Los Angeles Times, provided funds for constructing a spectacular sign on the side of a hill called Mount Lee. It was meant to be just temporary and its purpose was to advertise homes in a newly-built neighbourhood called Hollywoodland. The name on the sign was later shortened to Hollywood. The sign became so recognizable that the original plan to take it down after some time was cancelled and it stayed there for good.

The size of the sign is much bigger than it seems when we see it in movies. Each letter measures about 15 metres in height and is almost nine metres wide. In the past, the letters also flashed at night. Change came in 1933 as it was getting costly to power the light bulbs, and the decision was made to turn them off. Since then, the sign has been illuminated only occasionally.

In 1973, the sign was declared a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument and received a "facelift", which, unfortunately, didn't include any structural maintenance. By the late 1970s, the sign had deteriorated beyond repair, and funds had to be raised to completely rebuild it and make it more resistant to wind and rain. A new sign was installed in the same location, with each letter built to the same dimensions as the original. That's the sign which is still there today.

Although you can view the Hollywood sign round the clock via a webcam, millions of visitors decide to climb the hill every year to see it up close. There are several hiking trails and it's possible to get a good view of the sign from a variety of spots leading up to it, but it's more common and much more convenient to admire it from further down the hill. You can capture a perfect image of the iconic sign as you are walking up, so don't miss the opportunity of getting a really good shot. If you decide to head for the top of Mount Lee, it's a pleasant walk which will take you about an hour with appropriate footwear. The sign itself is fenced off, so bear in mind that you won't be able to touch it. There are plenty of security measures, including cameras on top of the sign, and there is also a speaker system used by the police in case of emergency.

One. On a cold, windy day in January 1969, the Beatles stepped out onto the rooftop of a building in central London and began one of the most legendary live performances ever. The idea for the concert was born while a film crew was making a documentary about the band, who were recording their last album. It was decided that the film should end with a live rooftop performance. Shortly after it started, in response to over thirty complaints about the noise, the police arrived and the band were forced to stop playing. As the event had not been announced to the public, and the internet age was still to come, not many people managed to witness the band make history. Those lucky few who did will cherish the memory forever. (adapted from beatlesstory.com)

Two. It was 3rd June, 2002. Brian May, the lead guitarist of the band Queen, was due to perform a concert in celebration of the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. It was decided he would do something out of the ordinary. He gave an amazing guitar performance of the national anthem "God Save The Queen" on the roof of Buckingham Palace. While playing high above the city, he was accompanied by an orchestra far below. The event was broadcast live to millions around the world. Afterwards, May said that while he was up on the roof, he felt as if he were on the edge of a cliff, and now he would never be afraid of anything again. (adapted from smoothradio.com)

Three. On a chilly evening, in February 2012, the Irish band U2 took to the roof of the BBC building in London to sing their best known hits and some new songs, much to the delight of the people gathered below. The BBC reported that there were as many as 5,000 onlookers. The police had to close a number of streets and divert traffic as masses of fans turned up and started dancing, clapping and singing along. The band's performance reminded fans of the occasion, more than 20 years before, when U2 played on the rooftop of a Los Angeles store. (adapted from independent.ie, standard.co.uk)

Four. During Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee, in 2012, Buckingham Palace was transformed by some very clever lighting and amazing visuals. It was all thanks to the London band called Madness. The band climbed up to the roof of the royal residence to sing some of their hits, and their performance was accompanied by a spectacular light show. Thousands of people watching the event from the comfort of their homes took to social media to congratulate the band on their amazing performance. The British monarch spent a few minutes talking to the band after they had finished playing and come down from the roof. The Queen said she was pleasantly surprised that things had worked out so well. (adapted from dailymail.co.uk)

Five. The opening of The O2 Arena in London was a game-changing moment for the British live events industry. Among the many key musical events the arena has hosted so far was a Bon Jovi concert on its roof in 2010. Reaching the top of the structure proved to be a challenge for the musicians, who had to be helped by trained mountaineers. The band performed their songs in windy weather on a temporary stage located in the middle of the domed roof. From the opening chords to the final fireworks display, the concert was amazing. (adapted from standard.co.uk, dailymail.co.uk)

This speaker refers to

A. an enthusiastic online reaction to a concert. B. a break in a concert due to weather conditions. C. the reason why a concert was brought to an early close. D. the assistance the performers needed to get onto a roof. E. measures taken in response to crowds arriving for a concert. F. a comparison made by a musician after his performance.

THE GREAT KNARESBOROUGH BED RACE

The Great Knaresborough Bed Race is one of the most extraordinary community events in the UK. This fun competition involves almost everybody in the town of Knaresborough and every year attracts thousands of visitors on the second Saturday in June. The race has been taking place in Knaresborough since 1966. It has maintained its popularity over the last 60 years and has inspired other bed races, both in the UK and around the world.

The idea is to raise money for charity while putting on a superb spectacle. Each team consists of six runners and a passenger, who is pushed on a bed. Before the participants set off on the 2.4 mile race, there is a contest for the best dressed bed. The day starts in the morning at Knaresborough Castle, where the teams decorate their beds and put on funny costumes. The judging of the "Best Dressed Bed" contest starts at 10:30 a.m. and the result is usually announced around midday. Then, the teams start marching through the town in a parade led by the winner. When the parade is over, the decorations are removed and the teams change into racing kit.

The race itself kicks off at 3 p.m., and the teams set off at roughly ten-second intervals. The fastest teams complete the course in under 13 minutes as a rule, with the slowest taking twice as long. The race takes the participants through parkland, up to the Castle and Market Place. Then, the route goes down to the River Nidd. The final challenge for runners, passengers and beds is to get across it. Although the river is not very wide, this section of the race is the most demanding. The biggest problem is that the river is usually icy cold, so getting to the other side is quite a test of endurance for the participants. It also has steep banks, so it's not easy to push the beds into and out of the river.

Nowadays, around 90 teams compete in the event. Many participants are the grandchildren of those who started this fun race, and this fact makes it particularly appealing to local people.

4.2. refer to a name for the new beverage which was eventually rejected?

4.3. point to the inspiration behind choosing pumpkin pie as the flavor for the new coffee?

4.4. imply that customers' initial reaction to Pumpkin Spice Latte was positive?

4.5. explain why it was necessary to create a new coffee flavor?

THE DELICIOUS STORY OF PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE

A. Nowadays it is hard to imagine the arrival of autumn without the cozy comfort of Pumpkin Spice Latte. Here is how the flavor originated. Early in 2003, a team of researchers gathered in a lab to come up with a coffee flavor which could win people's hearts. Earlier, they had successfully introduced the recipes for many different favorites, such as Eggnog Latte and Peppermint Mocha, and were desperately looking for an idea for a beverage* which could replace summer favorites when their sales and popularity started to drop.

B. The researchers began with a huge brainstorm list which was narrowed down to 20 flavors they thought could go well with coffee. When they asked potential customers in a survey what flavors they were likely to purchase, it was chocolate and caramel beverages that were chosen most often. However, pumpkin, also on the list, scored high on "uniqueness", which was promising. Then, on a bright spring morning, autumn decorations and pumpkin pies were brought to the lab to create the proper mood for exploring the new espresso-based options. When the researchers sampled a forkful of pumpkin pie followed by a sip of hot espresso, they realized that they were on to something.

C. They tasted different versions of the beverage for the next three months until they finally settled on a recipe that used espresso and steamed milk with pumpkin spice sauce, containing cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg, rounded off with whipped cream and a dash of pumpkin pie topping. Originally, the flavor was to be called The Fall Harvest Latte but since spices played such an important role, the team ultimately settled for Pumpkin Spice Latte. In autumn 2003, the beverage was trialed in 100 coffee shops. When the research team phoned the coffee shops to see how the new beverage was doing, the excitement in the store managers' voices was evident.

D. The next autumn, Pumpkin Spice Latte rolled out across the US, and a new autumn tradition began. "PSL" was the original beverage code for Pumpkin Spice Latte, written by baristas on cups, and it soon became the drink's nickname. The beverage built a loyal fan base and was enjoyed more than 200 million times in the first decade after its introduction. In the meantime, the recipe was further developed and improved to reflect the latest nutrition trends: the sugar content was reduced and artificial flavors were no longer used. After these modifications, sales increased significantly.

COULD YOU READ A MESSAGE FROM ALIENS?

In late May 2023, three radio astronomy observatories detected a strange signal which was apparently coming from somewhere around Mars. The mysterious transmission seemed to be a message from intelligent life trying to contact Earth. 5.1. _____ Apart from being an artist, she works as a licensed radio operator at the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence Institute and the Green Bank Observatory in West Virginia, USA.

De Paulis' message, which is part of a project called A Sign in Space, is a test run of what it might be like for humans to receive – and try to decipher – an extraterrestrial message. This kind of experiment should have been carried out a long time ago. 5.2. _____ Isn't it strange that they've never really investigated what receiving and trying to decipher such a message would be like?

In order to turn this idea into reality, de Paulis worked with a group that included – among others – astronomers and anthropologists. They met on a monthly basis, brainstorming ideas on what an alien civilization might send us. 5.3. _____ This measure was taken to prevent the details of the plan from being leaked, thus endangering the whole project. Finally, after much preparation, de Paulis decided to transmit the encoded message. On May 24, 2023, a spacecraft orbiting Mars sent the message to Earth, where it was received by astronomers in northern California, West Virginia and Italy. 5.4. _____ Their theories about what the message might contain are plentiful, with speculation about possible connections to chemistry, DNA structure and numerical systems. Anyone can join the discussion on the project's dedicated website. So far, the content of the message has been kept strictly confidential. 5.5. _____ She definitely won't be doing it too soon. Decoding the message must take time because it requires people with different skills to collaborate.

"An extraterrestrial message would belong to all humanity, so we should all have the possibility to contribute to its interpretation," she says.

Na podstawie: smithsonianmag.com

A. In the later phase of the project, she narrowed the group down to just three people in order to maintain confidentiality.

B. After all, scientists have been searching for signals from outer space for more than 60 years.

C. It wasn't the first time she had managed to send a mysterious signal which was received in outer space.

D. However, the intercepted communication, though sent from space, originated on Earth and was the work of Daniela de Paulis.

E. Daniela de Paulis has decided that she will only begin to give clues if people are really struggling with deciphering the message.

F. Since then, researchers and amateur codebreakers alike have been making a great effort to decipher the message de Paulis transmitted.

Tekst 1.

On the morning of the most earth-shattering day of his life, Rayquan McMillian ordered breakfast. In the shower he'd lost track of time, caught up in playing the violin concerto in his mind, while water ran down his back for ten minutes. When he walked out of the bathroom, he saw the breakfast tray waiting on the table. "I didn't even hear room service come in," he said. Nicole was curled up in one of the armchairs, watching the news. "You never hear anything," she said, not looking away from the TV. "We need to be out of here within an hour, and you still haven't finished packing."

After a hurried breakfast, he mindlessly packed his suitcase and pulled up the handle of his roller bag. He picked up the violin case and gestured for Nicole to go first with her two roller bags. The door clicked shut behind them, sealing the suite – and what remained – inside.

Checking out, he tipped the doorman, who called a taxi for each of them. Nicole was going to the train station, so he lifted her suitcases into the open trunk, leaving his own bag on the sidewalk, the violin case hanging on his shoulder. Nicole turned to him. "I meant to tell you," she said, "when you're playing the Mozart, just try taking it maybe a tiny bit slower, all right? And remember that you've got this. Rayquan McMillian, future violin competition gold medalist. Visualize it. It's going to happen. I'm sure of it. And call me when you get in." She jumped onto the back seat, the door closed and he stood there as the taxi moved off into the traffic.

Then his taxi rolled up and, as he was spilling into the back seat with the violin case, he grew more and more uneasy. He wanted to be back home. That morning he hadn't practised, so he couldn't wait to pick up his violin and assure himself that he could really make Mozart's voice his own. Only one month left until the competition: the world's most prestigious, most difficult classical music competition – judged by the top musicians in the world. Even if he practised every day, fourteen hours a day, he didn't think he'd be ready. He wished he didn't have to waste time flying home.

At the airport, he decided to use the fast check-in. If only he had gone through regular security! Why had he been in such a hurry? He should have waited in the long queue. If he'd waited, the officer might have randomly pulled his suitcase aside or asked him to open the violin case. Someone would have noticed or asked. It was security, after all. Instead, he placed the roller bag on the conveyor belt, violin case behind it, and they sailed through the X-ray while he sailed through the body scan. When he returned home, he lay down on his bed for half an hour, violin case on the floor next to him, where he always set it. Getting focused, ready to play.

It was just after 2 p.m. when he kicked himself off the bed. He stood up, picked up the violin case, and set it on his desk. He flicked open the left clasp, then the right, and lifted the lid. Instead of his violin, inside sat a white tennis shoe.

Tekst 2. THE VIOLIN EXPERIMENT

The instruments made by Antonio Stradivari are considered some of the finest ever made, and they have become extremely valuable collector's items. It is estimated that Stradivari produced 1,116 instruments, of which 960 were violins. Around 650 instruments have survived, including around 500 violins, which makes them rare and valuable.

Claudia Fritz from Sorbonne University decided to investigate whether Stradivari violins are superior to modern ones, as is widely believed. "Stradivari violins are amazing instruments which have survived over 300 years and are beautifully made," says Fritz. "However, I wanted to show that their amazing properties aren't unique. You can find similar properties in new violins as well. Modern-day makers are doing a great job creating amazing violins. They should be able to sell them with pride and recognition."

In her study, Fritz recruited 21 professional violinists, invited them into a dimly lit hotel room, and asked each of them to play six violins. Three were new, and the others had been crafted by Stradivari. Participants played them in random order and were not told which violins were new and which ones had been made by Stradivari. Participants' comments on the experience of playing each instrument were recorded, and at the end of the experiment they were asked to choose which instrument they would most like to take home if they could. 62 percent would have taken a new violin over the ones made by Stradivari, the oldest of these being the most frequently rejected.

"Many people are convinced that as soon as you play an old violin, you can feel that it's been played a lot, and has a special sound quality," Fritz said. "The violinists who took part in the experiment said it was the experience of a lifetime when we told them the results." John Soloninka was one of them. "I expected to be able to tell the difference, but couldn't," he said. "Claudia later sent me a recording of my comments about the instruments, and it was hilarious how wrong my impressions were at the time! I actually laughed out loud because it was so funny to hear how sure I was."

After the results of the study had been published, the reactions ranged from delight to anger. Critics were quick to question the experiment's reliability. The violinists tested the instruments for just 20 minutes in an air-conditioned hotel room. That wouldn't do. To get the most out of the violins, they should have tested the instruments for many hours and played them in a concert hall. One distinguished violinist reportedly said, "You don't test a Ferrari in a parking lot."
