Do
you know when Wimbledon and the Super Bowl started? In which
countries? Which of the two competitions is older? Read the texts to
find out.

TROPHY
HUNTERS

1. Wimbledon

Wimbledon
is the most famous tennis championship in the world, and over the
years it has become a British institution. Held every summer at the
All-England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, the competition lasts for
two weeks.

Wimbledon
was first held in 1877. In those days, it was an amateur event which
only men could enter. Today, both men and women, professionals or
amateurs can take part in the championship, which is followed in the
media by millions of people.

Tennis
players come from all over the world to compete, hoping to win a
trophy and a substantial amount of money. The prize for winning the
Gentlemen’s Singles Championship is a large silver gilt cup. The
winner of Ladies’ Singles gets a silver salver called the
“Rosewater Dish”. There are also competitions in both men’s and
ladies’ doubles. The prizes are traditionally presented by the
Dutchess of Kent.

What
makes Wimbledon special is the tradition involved. It is the only
international tennis tournament which is still played on grass, and
the only competition open to both amateurs and professionals. The
best tradition of all, though, is the spectators’ custom of eating
strawberries and cream while they watch the tennis.

1. The Super Bowl

Super
Bowl is the highlight of the year for American football fans. It is
the final round in a competition between the top teams in the
National Football League as well as national celebration. The 30
professional teams in the NFL play matches against each other all
season, to determine who will go through to the playoffs. Then, the
two winning teams face each other to compete for the Super Bowl
Trophy., which is a model of a football in kicking position made of
silver. The trophy is presented by the NFL commissioner. All players
from both teams receive a special commemorative silver ring.

The
first Super Bowl was played in 1967. Since then the event has
gradually become more elaborate and more popular. These days, the
competition is watched by millions of people worldwide, and is more
than just a football game. In fact, it is an entertainment
extravaganza, with a pre-game show and a half-time show which both
feature famous games and singers. A big-name star is always asked to
sing the national anthem, which is considered to be a great honour.
The shows also have plenty of cheerleaders and marching bands.
Everyone who takes part in the event, from spectators to players, has
a fantastic time.

Read
the texts again and find three differences between each event.

Think
of your country’s most important sporting event. Write an article
for a sports magazine.

Include:

• When/where
  it is held

• The
  event’s history

• Description
  of the event

• The
  prize.

HOBBIES

Read
about Mike and answer these questions:

1. Why
   did he start skydiving?

2. How
   did he feel on his first jump?

3. What
   caused his accident and why has he continued skydiving?

WWW.DEADMIKE.COM

I’ve
just done my first jump since the accident that nearly killed me just
over a year ago. As I was lying in hospital, thinking that I would
never skydive again, I wasn’t feeling glad to be alive. Instead, I
was wondering how I could possibly live without it.

It
all started one evening after another typical nine to five day. I was
sitting at home thinking, “There has to be more to life than this,”
when an ad came on the television: “Try skydiving,” it said.

The
next day, I called my local skydiving centre and I booked my first
jump.

I
spent a day training and then I was ready for my first jump. Or
almost. First, I had to sign a document to say that I understood that
I was taking part in an activity that could end in serious injury. At
that moment I realized that I was about to do something voluntarily
that would put my life at risk and as I signed, I wondered if I was
completely mad.

I
will never forget my first jump. Five of us walked to the runway and
got into the plane barely big enough to hold three people. I was
beginning to feel nervous, but the others were chatting and joking
and I started to feel more relaxed. It was a beautiful, cloudless day
and the sun was just going down. It took us about 20 minutes to get
to 11,000 feet and then the trainer opened the plane door – the
view took my breath away. Suddenly, it was time to jump and as I
pushed myself away from the plane, I don’t know what I was
thinking, my mind was blank.

Words
cannot describe the rush of adrenalin I experienced while I was
free-falling.

At
5,500 feet I pulled the cord and the parachute opened immediately.
Suddenly, everything was silent and peaceful. Twice I shouted, “This
is absolutely incredible,” though I knew there was nobody to hear
me. It was the most amazing four minutes of my life.

From
the first jump, I was hooked. I started spending every free moment I
had skydiving. At work, I sat in front of my computer and imagined
ways of making more money so that I could jump more often. It became
my reason for living and nothing else mattered. I was addicted to
skydiving. Things were going really well. I was spending every free
moment I had skydiving.

Then
disaster struck me on my 1,040^th
jump. Another skydiver collided with my parachute at 80 feet. I fell
and hit the ground at about 30 mph, face down. I broke both legs, my
right foot, left elbow, right arm, my nose and my jaw. I lost 10
pints of blood, 19 teeth and 25 pounds of fat. I was lucky to
survive.

People
who have never experienced skydiving will find it hard to understand
that my only motivation to get better was so that I could do it
again. All I can say is that for me, skydiving is life and life is
skydiving.

The
sentences below summarize Mike’s story. Correct the details that
are wrong.

1. Mike
   was reading a newspaper one evening when he saw an ad for skydiving.

2. He
   phoned the skydiving centre immediately and booked a jump.

3. After
   a day’s training, he was sure he was doing the right thing.

4. His
   first jump was unforgettable. It was a beautiful morning and he was
   feeling relaxed.

5. After
   an hour’s flight, he jumped out of the plain and his parachute
   opened immediately.

6. After
   his first jump, he didn’t think he would do it again.

7. During
   his free time, he thought about skydiving a lot.

8. On
   his 1,040^th
   jump he had an accident when his parachute didn’t open.

9. He
   nearly died and thought that his skydiving days were over.

10. The
    only reason he wanted to get better was so that he could skydive
    again.

HOW
WE USE THE TELEPHONE

DOES
THE TELEPHONE RULE YOUR LIFE?

Most
people will answer the ringing phone. Usually you don’t know who is
phoning or how urgent their business is, so a ringing phone is
difficult to ignore. In one experiment, a researcher wrote down the
numbers of several public phones in stations and airports. Then he
called the numbers. Someone nearly always answered. When he asked
why, people usually said, “Because it rang.”

A
few years ago in New Jersey, a man with a gun killed 13 people. Armed
police surrounded his house but he refused to come out. A reporter
found out the phone number of the house and called. The man put down
his rifle and answered the phone. “What do you want?” he said,
“I’m really busy right now.”

Imagine
you’re at work and the phone is ringing in someone else’s office.
Do you answer it or not? In one survey on telephone use, 51% of
participants told researchers that they did. We can’t ignore the
phone and for that reason, it intrudes into our lives. It interrupts
what we are doing and n top of that, the caller is often someone we
don’t really want to talk to. However, in the survey, 58% said they
never took the phone off the hook, and 67% didn’t mind if someone
called during a television programme. For 44% it wasn’t a problem
if someone rang during a meal, while only 28% were annoyed or upset.
If someone phoned in the middle of the night, 40% told researchers
that they got nervous or frightened, while around 30% got angry.

Of
course, when someone is really annoying , you can choose to hang up
on them. This is in fact one of the rudest things you can do on the
phone, but 79 % said that they were prepared to do it in some cases.
Only 6 % told researchers they never hung up on people.

Answer:

Do
you think the phone causes stress in your life/work?
