ARCTIC PASSION
Cruising over the pack-ice with our heavy snowmobiles, my guide, Arne, and I looked out across the dazzling expanse of snow. We had come to the tiny, remote island of Svalbard, northeast of Greenland, to photograph polar bears, but now we were exhausted with searching. The day had been particularly frustrating, as every bear we'd slowly approached had run away from us. Fed up and hungry, we decided to abandon our search for the afternoon and stop for a snack beside one of the many tall, blue icebergs.
As always, a good meal was followed by an intense desire to sleep, and we decided to give in to it, even though the temperature was down to -30°C. Sleeping at the same time would be unwise with our furry friends around, so we decided to take it in turns. As Arne slept, I scanned the snow with my binoculars, looking for anything moving. An hour passed, I was just about to wake my companion, when I noticed a dot on the horizon. I wiped the lens, but it was still there. I began to make out the typical mayonnaise colour and the striding walk - it was a polar bear, and it was coming our way.
I awoke Arne instantly and he confirmed that it was a bear and it was indeed heading in our direction. For the next thirty minutes, the bear continued on its direct course towards us, which was strange because the wind was blowing our scent straight towards him, so he must have been aware of our presence.
When he was a couple of hundred metres away, I decided to lie down in the snow so as to get a better photograph. 'You realise you look just like seal like that, don't you?' warned Arne, for once sounding a bit worried. Seals are what polar bears like to have for dinner. Onwards the bear came, and by now I could hear the crunching sound of his feet on the ice. It struck me that this was a big bear, travelling at some speed. I turned to speak to Arne, and saw him pulling a gun from his bag. Polar bears are incredibly unpredictable animals, and to be in their environment without protection is foolish. But Arne had strict instructions from me only to use the gun to frighten the bear away, and then only if necessary.
By now the animal was only 25 metres away and the atmosphere had changed. Arne sat up on the snowmobile calmly awaiting the bear's next move, while I struggled to change the film in my camera with my cold, shaking hands. Then, just as I was thinking that there was no escape, as I tensed myself for the inevitable attack, the bear veered off to one side and then went straight past us. 'Look!' whispered Arne. 'Behind us!' I turned and saw a second creamy head with two black eyes peering around the corner of an iceberg a few hundred metres behind us. A female bear. Our friend's goal had clearly been in his sight the whole time, and we were the only thing between him and his beloved.

IV. READING COMPREHENSION
Exercise 1: Read the text and choose the best answer.
Although both Luther Burbank and George Washington Carver drastically changed American agriculture and were close friends besides, their methods of working could hardly have been more dissimilar. Burbank’s formal education ended with high school, but he was inspired by the works of Charles Darwin. In 1872, on his farm near Lunenberg, Massachusetts, he produced his first “plant creation” – a superior potato developed from the Early Rose variety. It still bears his name. After moving to Santa Rosa, California, in 1875, Burbank created a stream of creations, earning the nickname “the plant wizard.” He developed new varieties of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and other plants, many of which are still economically important. He began his work some thirty years before the rediscovery of Gregor Mendel’s work on heredity, and while he did not participate in the developing science of plant genetics, his work opened the country’s eyes to the productive possibilities of plant breeding. However, the value of his contributions was diminished by his methods. He relied on his keen memory and powers of observation and kept records only for his own use. He thus thwarted attempts by other scientists to study his achievements.
Carver, on the other hand, was a careful researcher who took thorough notes. Born a slave, he attended high school in Kansas, Simpson College in Iowa, and Iowa State College, which awarded him a master’s degree. When the eminent black educator Booker T. Washington offered him a position at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, he accepted. While Burbank concentrated on developing new plants, Carver found new uses for existing ones. He produced hundreds of synthetic products made from the soybean, the sweet potato, and especially the peanut, helping to free Southern agriculture from the tyranny of cotton.

Part 3. The passage below contains five mistakes. Write down the line numbers, the corresponding mistakes and correct them.
It is a sad fact that adults laugh farly less than children, sometimes by as much as a couple of hundred times a day. Just take a look at people's faces on the way to work or in the office: you'll be lucky to see a smile, let alone hear a laugh. This is a shame - especially in view of the fact that scientists have proved that laughing is good at you. "When you laugh" says psychologist David Cohen, "it produces the feel-good hormones, endorphin. It counters the effects of stress and enhances the immune system."
They are many reasons why we might laugh less in adult life: perhaps we are too work-obsessed, or too embarrassed to let our emotions shown. Some psychologists simply believe that children have more native responses and like adults we naturally grow out of spontaneous reactions. Luckily, however, it is possible to relearn the art of laughter.
