PIGEONS FIND HIDDEN SPAIN FRESCOA Renaissance fresco hidden for 300 years has been rediscovered in Spain - thanks to nesting pigeons.Art restorers working in Valencia's cathedral noticed the birds flying through a hole in what turned out tobe a false ceiling. They wanted to see what was there so they stuck a digital camera in the gap and shotpictures that showed a well-preserved 15th-century Italian fresco. It is one of the earliest and most importantexamples of such Renaissance art in Spain, experts say.The fresco, which shows four angels against a starry blue background, was painted by two Italians,Francesco Pagano and Paolo de San Leocadio, in the late 1400s. It was ordered by a papal representative,Rodrigo Borja, a Spaniard who went on to become Pope Alexander VI in 1492.The fresco was covered up by a baroque ceiling, which was constructed - as art historians believe - around1670, most probably because of changing artistic tastes. Normally, baroque artists instead of covering up anexisting fresco would remove it first, art historian Fernando Lopez told the Associated Press. " This time theydid not. They left an air pocket. That is a big surprise."The president of Valencia's government, Francisco Camps, said the finding was "one of the most importantcultural discoveries in recent years" in Spain. The magnificent fresco angels can be seen again after morethan 300 years and are admired by both professionals ans amateurs.The Renaissance fresco in Valencia's cathedral was found by chance.1Curious art restorers took a photo of the gap in the ceiling.2The fresco was ordered by future Pope Alexander VI.3It was a common procedure in the baroque period to paint a new fresco4on top of an old one.5The fresco will soon be showed to the public. 1 2 3 4 5

Za każdą poprawną odpowiedź otrzymasz 1 punkt. FOOD, DANGEROUS FOOD Tired? Want something to drink? Get a Coke or another fizzy drink and feel the effect on your mind and body! We all do it, but for many English school kids, this is breakfast. More than 50,000 children who are 810 years old don't eat anything in the morning and come to school tired, empty and irritable. And what are the hopes for healthy eating at school? Many schools now have a canteen where kids have a choice. And so they decide to take pizza and chips instead of salad and fish. When you are young, you think you will never die and don't care about 'adult" problems like obesity (being extremely fat) and heart disease. The Heart Foundation has just started a campaign to show that bad eating habits from our childhood are often the most important causes of heart problems when we are older. Modern eating habits are very destructive. Today's children are in more danger of heart diseases and some forms of cancer than their parents and grandparents. They also have to decide which food to choose, genetically modified or organic. In Britain today, the second option is becoming more and more popular.So where do we start if we want to eat in a healthy way? First, we should eat normally but do a lot of physical exercises. It is very hard to keep to a diet, and it's all too easy to start getting fat again. The best idea is to exercise in the morning and not to eat snacks, especially late at night! Second, if you eat meat, chicken and fish are much better than red meats. They're good for your body and mind, too.Third, we should remember that fizzy drinks, tea and coffee are all 'diuretics", which means that they take water away from the body. Fizzy drinks also reduce the amount of healthy substances which the body can take from food. So if you suffer from headaches or a general lack of energy, try putting away all those drinks and having lots of water instead. Sometimes your skin gets clearer and your eyes start shining - so a healthy lifestyle means prettier looks, too! /adapted from: Neale Anderson, 'Food, dangerous food", Current/ 4.1. More than 50,000 children in Britain ......... a) get a Coke for breakfast. b) get bad marks at school. c) come to school hungry. d) don't eat anything at school. 4.2.

Wpisz w każde z miejsc (6.1.-6.7.) literę (A-H), którą oznaczone jest brakujące pytanie. Jedno z pytań podane zostało dodatkowo i nie pasuje do żadnej odpowiedzi. Za każdą poprawną odpowiedź otrzymasz 1 punkt. DO NEWSPAPERS INVADE FAMOUS PEOPLE'S PRIVACY? WE INTERVIEW CONNOR FOR HIS OPINIONS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM( 6.1.).........No, I don't think they should. At the moment they report on people's private lives much too much.( 6.2.).........They know that their readers are interested in famous people, so they try very hard to find some scandal about them. Reporters watch their houses all the time and note down everything they do.( 6.3.).........No, it's not. Famous people should be allowed to have a private life. They can't have normal lives when reporters are following them everywhere. It's not possible to do anything when people are watching you. It's an invasion of privacy. It's not fair.( 6.4.).........Because, for example, my parents got divorced two years ago. My sister and I were very unhappy. When famous people divorce, it's all in the newspapers with stories that aren't true. Imagine what it is like when you have to read about your parents" divorce in the newspaper.( 6.5.).........No, I don't think they are. I've heard about famous people who have gone on holiday to a quiet island in the Caribbean to be alone. But in fact photographers have found them and taken many photographs!( 6.6.).........Yes, they should, but only if they give interviews. The problem is that newspapers often write things about them that are invented or discovered by spying on them. Sometimes magazines say openly that they have got their facts wrong but it's too late - the damage is already done.( 6.7.).........Not much. If a friend buys a newspaper with a lot of gossip in, I will probably have a look but I'm not very interested. I don't care what Leonardo DiCaprio does. If he is a good actor, nothing else is important./adapted from: 'Do newspapers invade famous people's privacy?", Team/ A But don't you think famous people like reading about their own lives? B But aren't famous people used to newspapers writing about them? C So why do newspapers keep writing about famous people's lives? D But shouldn't famous people be pleased that people want to read about them? E Do you think newspapers should report on people's private lives? F But isn't it natural for famous people to be watched by everybody? G Do you read newspaper articles about famous people? H Why do you think it's not right to watch what famous people are doing?
