reading read the email exchange on a website for jockeys, and choose the correct answer a, b or c. i am writing to ask you an important question. how do i become a jockey? i’m 16, 1m 56 and 49 kg. i've stayed this height and weight for a few years now so i don’t think i’ll get much bigger, if at all. i have ridden horses all my life. i don't mind working my way up. tina sander i’m afraid i have to tell you that there is no real career path. this can be an advantage as it means you will succeed if you’re good, but it also means it’s difficult to find out what’s required. here are some of the most obvious requirements to help you. first, school! you don’t have to have any academic qualifications to be a jockey. however, you must have athletic ability and a lot of common sense. the next thing is your weight. everybody knows that jockeys don’t weigh much and, ideally, you should weigh no more than 52.5 kg – that’s about 116lbs. some people find it very difficult to stay light, and you do have to watch what you eat. jockeys often eat no more than a piece of toast and a few cups of tea during the day. that isn’t a lot of food when you work very hard all day – and it’s a very long day too. now, your height isn’t as important, although obviously if you’re taller, you may weigh more, and it can affect how you sit in the saddle. but there are some quite tall jockeys – one english rider is 1.7 m. you’re 16, so you are legally allowed to race in competitions. you can also join an apprentice school or a trainer at 16. in some countries, like spain, you can start racing as an amateur at the age of 14. you didn’t say where you lived, so check out what your local rules are. finally, and this is very important obviously, you must be a horse person. read the email exchange on a website for jockeys, and choose the correct answer a, b or c.
read the article about lotteries, and answer the questions. the word lottery comes from the dutch word loterij, from the verb lot, which means fate. many countries use lotteries as a way of making money for various public projects such as education programmes, buildings, universities, etc. there have been lotteries through much of history. the first ones were probably around 200 bc in what is now china. there are references to lotteries in many ancient texts, including homer’s the iliad. people think that the first european lottery was in the roman empire when augustus caesar held a lottery to raise money for repairs to the city of rome. the first public lottery was in sluis in the netherlands in 1434. several years later, other lotteries began to appear – this time with money as prizes. in england, queen elizabeth i held the first lottery in 1566 to get money for ‘public works’. america’s passion for lotteries began in 1612 when king james i gave the virginia company of london the right to raise money. the company used this money to finance the first settlement in america. after that, lotteries continued to be a popular way of making money for the colonies – in fact there were over 200 lotteries between 1744 and the american revolution. the money they made helped to build libraries, churches and roads amongst other things. however, after the revolution, there were a lot of scandals around lotteries and by the late 19th century they were banned in many states. they were illegal in the us until after world war ii. nowadays, there are lotteries throughout the us and the world. instant lottery tickets, where you scratch off the surface of the card, first appeared in the 1970s and are now an important part of lottery revenue for many governments. banned (paragraph 3) means …

read the text about science fiction, and choose the correct answer a, b or c. many people think that science fiction really began as a style of literature with mary shelley’s frankenstein, which appeared in the early 19th century. two other great writers helped to shape the genre later in the century. the french author jules verne was a very important figure, and wrote many novels, which many people still read today. well-known titles include a journey to the centre of the earth and from the earth to the moon. he wrote about things which didn’t exist in his time – space travel, submarines, and aeroplanes. they were all ‘future’ ideas. the same is true of the other great 19th century writer – englishman h g wells. probably the most famous of his novels is the war of the worlds, where aliens attack earth with very sophisticated weapons – it’s still so popular and relevant today that lots of films are made about it – the latest in 2005. alien encounters are a common theme in science fiction novels, with many books set on different planets, or in a different time. some authors write only about ‘science fact’ – this is known as hard science fiction. the authors write in detail about areas of physics and chemistry. many of them have made very accurate predictions about future technology. even something like star trek is well known for getting things right – when it started in the 1960s, doctors didn’t use scanners to diagnose illnesses, and mobile phones didn’t exist. and yet the characters used very similar objects – and at the time people thought they were just fiction – but now we use them all the time. hard science fiction is often …

the word lottery comes from the dutch word loterij, from the verb lot, which means fate. many countries use lotteries as a way of making money for various public projects such as education programmes, buildings, universities, etc. there have been lotteries through much of history. the first ones were probably around 200 bc in what is now china. there are references to lotteries in many ancient texts, including homer’s the iliad. people think that the first european lottery was in the roman empire when augustus caesar held a lottery to raise money for repairs to the city of rome. the first public lottery was in sluis in the netherlands in 1434. several years later, other lotteries began to appear – this time with money as prizes. in england, queen elizabeth i held the first lottery in 1566 to get money for ‘public works’. america’s passion for lotteries began in 1612 when king james i gave the virginia company of london the right to raise money. the company used this money to finance the first settlement in america. after that, lotteries continued to be a popular way of making money for the colonies – in fact there were over 200 lotteries between 1744 and the american revolution. the money they made helped to build libraries, churches and roads amongst other things. however, after the revolution, there were a lot of scandals around lotteries and by the late 19th century they were banned in many states. they were illegal in the us until after world war ii. nowadays, there are lotteries throughout the us and the world. instant lottery tickets, where you scratch off the surface of the card, first appeared in the 1970s and are now an important part of lottery revenue for many governments. scandals (paragraph 3) means …
