People saw the first real films in Kinetoscope machines. You put a coin in a slot and looked through a hole. You could see a film, which lasted about 15 second. Later, people went to the cinema to see films. The first films were black and white. They were silent: the actors and actresses did not speak and there was no music. Sometimes a person played the piano in the cinema while you were watching the film. Perhaps the most famous actor in silent films was Charlie Chaplin. Everyone liked this little man with his black hat, old coat, baggy trousers, big old shoes and his walking stick. Talking films started in 1927. People thought these films were wonderful and many people went to the cinema to see and hear them. The first colour films appeared in 1935.

The clock, which is famous for being very accurate, is heard every day throughout the world. This is because it is used by the BBC at the beginning of their news programmes.

The bell was named after a very large man, Sir Benjamin (Ben) Hall, who was in charge of building in London at this time. The clock itself stands on a tower 350 feet high.

The first emperor scorpions lived before the dinosaurs more than 450 million years ago. Nowadays they live in tropical wooded forests in Africa and can be found buried in the soil or under rocks. The scorpion is known for its poisonous and painful sting. Scorpions are thought to be very dangerous, but their sting rarely kills human beings. Today, many people even collect scorpions as pets. 2. The emperor scorpion grows very quickly. It can be between 12 and 24 centimeters in length. Male scorpions are usually bigger than females. Scorpions have a hard thin layer on the outside of the body, called the exoskeleton. Scorpions can be found in a variety of colours, including dark blue, black, green and brown. An unusual feature of scorpions is that they glow in the dark. The body is divided into four sections. Each section has a pair of legs. There are also two scissor-like pinchers at the front of its body that are strong enough to make humans bleed. At the end of the scorpion's tail is a large ball that contains poison. 3. The scorpion can live for up to eight years and is most active at night. It eats insects, mice, lizards and other scorpions. Another special feature of the scorpion is that it can live up to a year without food and underwater for two days! Would you like to have an emperor scorpion as your pet?

In 1852, it was determined that Mount Everest, on the Nepal-Tibet border, was the highest mountain in the world. For the next 100 years, several groups tried to climb the mountain but were unsuccessful. It was too cold and windy, and the oxygen was too thin. Some people said it was impossible and several climbers died trying to climb it. However, Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay finally climbed Mt. Everest in 1953. 2. Edmund Hillary was born in New Zealand in 1919. As a young man, his hobby was climbing mountains. Later, he tried mountain climbing in the Alps and the Himalayas. In fact, before attempting to climb Mt. Everest, he had climbed 11 different mountains higher than 6500 meters. 3. In 1951 and 1952, Hillary made trips to the bottom of Mt. Everest to find the best way to the top. Then, in 1953, he joined a team of climbers to try to climb the mountain. After seven weeks of climbing, only two people were strong enough to reach the top. Those two people were Hillary and Norgay, a native of Nepal who was a guide for the team. 4. Hillary and Norgay reached the top of Mount Everest at 11:30 a.m. on 29th May 1953. They stayed at the top for just 15 minutes. After that, they climbed back down. Three days later, they arrived at the bottom of the mountain. The news of their climb spread around the world quickly. 5. For many years, only Hillary was considered to be the first person to climb Everest. However, Hillary insisted that he could not have made the climb without Norgay's help. Now, they are both considered the first ?person? to climb the world's tallest mountain. In the years following that heroic climb, many people have reached the top of Mount Everest. However, Hillary and Norgay will always be remembered as the first.

A woman without paint is like food without salt,? wrote the Roman philosopher Plautus. But the reasons people wear makeup, as well as the way in which they wear it, have changed dramatically over time. 2. In ancient Greco-Roman societies, women wore white lead and chalk on their faces to look attractive. Ancient Egyptians wore foundation to lighten their skin and men, women and children wore kohl. This black eye liner was used both for beauty and to protect their eyes from disease. Persians, on the other hand, used henna dyes to stain their hair and faces to make themselves beautiful. 3. Later, in the European Middle Ages, both men and women made their faces white. Rich men wanted people to know that they did not have to work outdoors in the sun. They wanted to show off their wealth by having a pale or white face. Royal 13th-Century Italian women wore pink lipstick to show they could afford makeup. During the Italian Renaissance, women wore lead paint on their faces, which caused hundreds of deaths because lead is poisonous. 4. In England, at the time of Queen Elizabeth I, cosmetics were seen as a health threat because many thought makeup would stop blood and energy from circulating through the body properly. At this time, men's makeup wasn't as obvious as women's (women wore egg whites over their faces to create a glazed look). 5. By the time Charles II of England took over, Europe was still recovering from the plague when thousands of men, women and children died. Because of this, many people were afraid to go outdoors, so heavy makeup supplied the colour that sun-fearing people couldn't get elsewhere. Later, during the French Revolution in he 18th Century, red rouge and lipstick were popular and implied a healthy, fun-loving spirit. But other people didn't like all this makeup. They thought the French had something to hide! 6. When makeup regained acceptance in the late 19th century, it was with natural tones so that the healthy, pink-cheeked look could be achieved without using all the dark colours the French had used. 7. Yet, throughout history, makeup hasn't only been used for beautification, people have tried to use makeup to cover mild to severe imperfections and discoloration of the skin caused by birth, fire or accidents. 8. Today's makeup is much more developed than in the past - both in cultural trends and styles. Makeup today seems to be a mix of past styles with a new emphasis on the natural look. A natural look that took centuries of painting faces to achieve. QUESTIONS 85. The main idea for this **** is ____________________.

According to legend, Marco Polo brought the recipe for ice cream with him from China. However, there is no written record of this. We do know that the Chinese taught Arab traders how to combine syrups and snow, to make an early version of ice cream called sherbet. These traders then showed the people of Venice and the Romans how to make this frozen dessert. In fact, the Roman Emperor, Nero, was said to be quite fond of pureed fruit, sweetened with honey, and he liked to mix it with snow. He loved this concoction so much that he had special rooms built under his palace which were designed keep the snow cold. In the 1500s, the recipe for sorbet was introduced to the French by Catherine de Medici. 2. The invention of ice cream came later with the development of custard, a milky dessert, and in 1775 people discovered that freezing custard would create a delicious sweet. This discovery was shortly followed by the creation of a machine to make ice cream which made the process much easier. 3. In America, Thomas Jefferson so loved ice cream that he imitated Nero by having a special cold room built for storing snow and he is said to have created the first ice cream recipe in the United States. Another president, George Washington, was one of the first people in the US to buy an ice cream machine. 4. Nothing really changed in the world of ice cream for the next 100 years. It was still being made at home. In 1851,this was all changed by a creative man named Jacob Fussell when he opened the first ice cream factory. 5. Near the beginning of the 20th century, the ice cream soda was created. It was made by accident when a scoop of ice cream fell into a glass of flavored Coca-Cola. A short time later, another delicious dessert was invented. It was called the ( sundae ) and contained ice cream covered with syrup and whipped cream. 6. Perhaps the most important ice cream discovery was made during the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in Saint Louis. At the exposition, Charles Menches had a successful business selling ice cream in bowls. However, he had so many customers that he soon ran out of bowls. Sad, but determined to still find a way to sell his ice cream, he asked his friend Ernest Hamwi, who was selling a wafer-like biscuit called ( zalabia ), a Syrian sweet, to form a cone from the wafers to hold his ice cream. The combination proved very popular and the ice cream cone was born! QUESTIONS 93. The main idea for this **** is ____________________.
