Workbook answers: Level 2 5

 Exercise D

The traditional events in Siena and Negara are very similar in some ways. They are both races and they
both use (1) animals. Both events are very colourful and (2) exciting. But some people say they are
similar in another way. They say these events are (3) cruel to the animals.

However, there are also quite a lot of differences. In the Palio, the race is short and (4) fast and uses only
ten horses and (5) riders. In this small space in the centre of the town, the horses sometimes reach (6) 65
kph. The whole race only takes (7) 90 seconds. The Negara race is slower and longer. The race takes
place on a track in a (8) rice field. The bulls often reach (9) 50 kph. In the Negara bull race, each jockey
has two bulls and (10) a cart. In Siena, of course, each jockey can only ride one (11) horse at a time!

Perhaps the biggest difference is the price of the tickets. In Siena, a ticket for a good seat for the main race
costs about (12) £180. And in Negara? Well, a ticket there only costs about (13) 5p or £0.05.

Exercise C

Development of the invention

In 1952, at Union Carbide, Edith began a 42-year career in research. (1) She joined the silicone
chemistry department. In 1956, (2) she invented a method of changing petroleum into gasoline.
Petroleum is found in the earth as crude oil but (3) it cannot be used because (4) it is too heavy. First,
chemists must divide (5) it into separate parts. (6) They use a kind of molecule to do (7) it, called a
zeolite.

Uses of the invention

Zeolites are now an essential part of everyday life. (8) They produce every litre of petrol in
(9) your car. (10) They clean and dry domestic gas for heating and cooking. (11) They stop the liquids
in (12) your fridge and air conditioning from freezing. (13) They are in (14) your washing-up liquid and
cleaning materials. Edith’s invention has made gasoline production cleaner, safer and more efficient.
(15) It is also used to help purify, or clean, water and the environment.

Workbook answers: Level 2 15

 Exercise D

Later life and achievements

(1) In the 1960s, Edith was also involved (2) in the early research (3) of laser technology. (4) For this
work, scientists needed a large supply (5) of perfect, big crystals. Real crystals, (6) for example,
diamonds and emeralds, were too expensive. Using zeolites once again, Edith helped develop a
process (7) for making synthetic emeralds. These emeralds were so good that many jewellery
shops started (8) to sell them.

(9) In 1985, Flanigen and her team had won more than 30 patents. (10) In 1992, Edith won the highest
award (11) for work (12) in the field (13) of chemistry – the Perkin Medal. She was the first woman
(14) to win this.

Exercise G
1./2. In the past, it took a long time for the news to reach an (1) audience. The beginning of the (2) mass
media was in the fifteenth century. At this time, the (3) printing press was invented and the
(4) literacy of the general public improved.
Nowadays, the mass media has three main advantages. The first is the (5) speed that news can reach
the general public. And reporters can get to the (6) scene of a crime, disaster or other event very
quickly. Another is that news is cheap for (7) consumers. The third advantage is openness. This means
that governments and people in public life cannot keep (8) secrets any more.
There are also disadvantages. Perhaps there is too much (9) quantity. Also advertisers can
(10) influence the news on TV and other media. In other words, there is (11) bias in the news so we
cannot always believe it. Openness in the media can mean that people do not have any (12) privacy.

Introduction
What do Mel Gibson, Keanu Reeves and Queen Elizabeth II have in common? They all play a game that
is sold in 21 countries around the world. Over 100 million sets of the game have been sold in 29
different languages. It / They / There is easily the world’s best-selling game. What is its name? It’s
Scrabble, of course.
Origins
e It began in 1931 in New York. It was a terrible time there / first / then in the USA. Many
1. ____
people had no work. A young architect called Arthur Butts lost him / his / her job. He loved board
games and word puzzles, especially crosswords. He decided to invent a new game to make money. He
thought that chess was too difficult for many people, and many other games were just luck. But / And
/ So he had an idea for a game that was half luck and half skill.
2. ____
a Players had to make words from letters. Each word had to ‘cross’ another, just like in a
crossword. Butts studied / studies / has studied the front page of the New York Times and analysed
the frequency of each of the 26 letters of the alphabet. This helped him to decide the quantity of each
letter in the game. It also helped him to decide the number of points you / he / they could win for
using each letter.
3. ____
c But, for a long time, the games manufacturers were not interested. Then / after / however
he got a business partner. Together, they made the rules of the game a little easier, and changed the
name to Scrabble. In the early years, Scrabble slowly became more popular but it did not make a lot of
money. After / Next / Finally, in the early 1950s, the director of a big department store in New York
played the game when he was on holiday. When he went back to work, he told the games department
to start selling Scrabble. So / Next / After that, Scrabble became a huge success.
The playing pieces
f Some of the squares are in different colours. You can win extra points on those squares. It is /
4.____
There are / They are also letter tiles. The most common letters have one point each. Less frequent
letters, like B, F and H, have more points. The letters J, K, Q, X, Z have the highest points.
How to play
5. ____
b Each player takes seven letter tiles from a bag. That is the ‘luck’ part of the game. You must
not show another player / the other player / the other players your letters. Then you must try to
make a word from your letters. But you can only put your word on the board if you can join it to
another word. It is / That is / They are part of the skill of the game.
How to win
6. ____
d For example, you cannot use names or abbreviations. You should learn some words with
uncommon letters. There are / There is / They are very good Scrabble websites to help with this, and
you can also buy Scrabble books and dictionaries. The objective is to get the highest score.

Exercise E
We feel hungry because the body needs energy. The whole body needs energy to move. We get energy
from food. However, we have to be careful. If we don’t use all the energy from food, the body keeps it
as fat. We must eat the right amount of food and we must take exercise to use the extra energy. Of
course, we must eat the right kind of food as well. The food we normally eat is called our diet.
