2 when there is a full moon. This is a very old idea, but it has never been tested until recently ... (2) A: I see ... B: But not all volcanoes are dangerous killers ... A: Really? B: Take Mount Etna, in Sicily. Everybody has heard of Mount Etna. It’s called the “Friendly Giant”, not because it’s big - though it is - but because its lava moves very slowly. This gives people time to escape. It’s not a killer volcano (3) ... even though it looks terrible during its eruptions ... A: Oh, I didn’t know that about its lava ... B: It’s true. Also, people have recorded the deaths caused by Mount Etna for over three thousand years, and it has only killed seventy-three people in all that time (4). That’s not very many when you think about it, though there was a large eruption in sixteen sixty-nine ... but nobody recorded any deaths ... A: Amazing ... B: Volcanoes are always changing ... for example, the cone, that’s the channel the lava flows through, can close up and a new cone can form. A new cone is actually a new volcano. On the site of Mount Fuji in Japan, there were two other volcanoes there before the present one ... (5) A: Amazing! B: Mount Fuji is actually a very popular place for tourists, including the Japanese. It has about four hundred thousand visitors a year. In the summer, there can be twenty thousand a day ... A: And can you tell us about the word “volcano” itself? B: Yes ... it comes from the Italian word “vulcano” which means “burning mountain”, and from the Latin “Vulcanus”. All “burning mountains”, like Vesuvius and Mount Fiji, were given this name, but the name “Vulcanus” was first given by the Romans to Mount Etna because they thought that it was the home of the god Vulcanus ... (6) II. You will hear a conversation between Gemma and Bill about different sports. Mark the sentences as true (T) or false (F). 1. There are lots of girls in Bill’s brother’s weightlifting class. F 2. Gemma doesn’t like the large muscles of weightlifting champions. T 3. At the start, Bill thinks diving might be a possibility. F 4. Gemma didn’t know that Bill dislikes the water. F 5. Bill loves the idea of going hang-gliding. T 6. In the end, they both agree to try hang-gliding. T TRANSCRIPT Bill: Yes, I think it’s a great idea for us to take up a new sport together! My brother’s just joined a weightlifting
3 class—what about that? Gemma: Weightlifting? Bill: Yes, it could be really good. I’d like to develop my muscles. What do you think? Gemma: Are you joking? Girls don’t do weightlifting! Bill: Oh yes, they do. My brother said that there were some girls in his class—not many, mind (1). Gemma: But it could be very dangerous and bad for your heart. Not to mention the rest of you. Bill: Mmmm, it needn’t be dangerous if you’re careful. And of course, girls don’t lift very heavy weights. Gemma: I think these weightlifting champions look horrible, with their huge muscles—ugh! (2) Bill: [laughing] Oh, I don’t think I’ll go that far. Gemma: Oh, Bill! I really don’t like being confined indoors. I prefer to be outside, moving around. What about something like diving? I mean, we live near the sea. There’s a diving club beside the harbour. Just think about it—gliding past all those brightly coloured fish and sea plants. Bill: But this isn’t exactly the Caribbean! And you need expensive equipment (3), like a wetsuit, an oxygen tank. Gemma: But you don’t have to buy it—you can rent it. Bill: Anyway, I don’t like the water. I don’t swim very well. Gemma: Oh, of course. I’d forgotten that (4). Well, another sport I was thinking about is hang-gliding. A friend of mine started it a few weeks ago, and she just loves it. Bill: Hang-gliding? Gemma: Obviously, it can be dangerous too. I mean, you have to jump off the tops of mountains, and you have to know all about the winds and air currents, and you need a lot of courage. Bill: But it sounds really exciting! (5) Gemma: My friend says she feels like a bird—it’s so graceful. Though you’re never quite sure where you’re going to land. Bill: Sounds great! Do you want to give it a go? Gemma: Why not? (6) Let’s ask—[fade] III. You will hear a school student talking to her parents about an Open Day at her school. For each question, fill in the missing information in the numbered space. It’s your Environment... PROTECT IT!

For (8. ______ further _______) information, contact Mrs Alizabett Mc master at 639478 TRANSCRIPT Hi, Mum! Hi, Dad! Look at this leaflet! We’re having an Open Day at school. It’s going to be all about the environment. I think it will be very interesting. There are all kinds of things happening. It's on Saturday the twenty-fifth of October. Our Geography teacher, that’s Mr Solomon, he’s organising the whole thing really, though he’s getting lots of help of course. He was telling us all about it this morning and looking for volunteers. He’s going to show a documentary film about air pollution. And our Science teacher, Miss Hopkins, she’s running a workshop, that means people have to do things and talk, not just listen. She’s calling it: "How to recycle and why". We all have to bring in things you can recycle, like cans, and newspapers and cardboard boxes. And she’s going to show what actually happens to these during the recycling process. And they’ve invited Ted Hamilton, the horticulturalist, to lead a walk around the area. It’s all about protecting our natural environment. I’d say that will be very popular, and places are limited, so I’ve put our three names down for that. I hope you want to go! Then in the evening there’s a special guest. What’s her name? Oh yes, Doctor Lynda Potter. She’s a well- known environmentalist. She’s going to give a talk about how everyone can do something. Yes, the title of her talk is: "What can WE do to help?". I think that’s a good idea. People often think, "Oh, there’s nothing I can do". And our History teacher, Mrs O’Leary, she’s in charge of the information stand. There’ll be books and leaflets about the environment. And she’s organising a team of environmental specialists who will be able to answer people’s questions. That’s good, isn’t it? I think it’s going to be a really... B. PHONETICS (5 pts) I.
