grandparents. At first, t he boys were very nice t o me and
they said t h at they liked my trainers. Then tiieir leader
said: "I need some n e w trainers, t think I'll have these."
I tried t o grab t hem back, bLit the ot her boys pushed me
t--- against a wall. They punched and kicked me. I toid my
parents t h at I lost my trainers.
A f e w days later, the boys asked me for some money. I
gave it to them because I d id n't want to be beaten up
again. Every week after that, they asked for something.

 yiiere's a parly at Sam's place tonight. Vt's his
brother's eighteenth birthday. Can I go?'
'His brother's eighteenth?' sairi Prank's father.
'So there'll be alcohol there, T suppose. No, I don't
think that's a good idea.'
'And yon haven't iidied yonr room," said hi.s mother.
'Yo\ir clothes are all over the floor.'
Til do it when I get back,' .said Frank angi ily, and he
weni out to get (he bns into town to meet iiis friends,
'Tidy your room! Clean yotir shoes! Go to bed! Get
up!' Frank mutlered, as he was waiting for the bus.
'I wish my parents wonld just go away and leave me
alone r
'j'Ue you sure that's what yon want?'
.Startled, Frank looked up. The bus driver was smiling
at him. 'Strange,' he thougiil. Me dicln'l heai- (he bus
arriving.
'Pardon?' he said.
Tf you iiop on the magic bus,' said the driver, 'you can
have your wish - and t\vo more as well. But be careful
Wliat you wisli for. You don't always get what you think
you'll get.'
'Well, I defmilely want my first wish,' said Frank, and
he got on the bus and went into town.
The house was very quiel when he got home again at
4.30. 'Mtnn? Dad?' he called, but there was no reply.
'Where have ihey gone?' he wondered. Then he saw
a piece of paper on the kitchen table. 'Dear Frank,' he
read, 'We've decided to go on a trip round (he world.
See you next year. Love, M u m and Dad.'
He couldn't believe it. The magic bus was real. First
he phoned Sam and told him that he was going to the
party.
Then he look his coat off. He was lianging it up when
he remembered: no parents. So he just dropped it on
the floor instead. Then he turned his stereo on very
loud. 'Wow! This is great!' he thought.
Half an hour later, however, he started to feel very
hungry. No parents was good, but no dinner was nor.
' I' m starving,' he thought, 'f wish I had something to
eat. I conld eat a horse.' Tn a flash, a large, black horse
was standing in the middle of the kitchen.
'What? Oh no!' said Frank. 'That was my second wish.
T must be more careful." He took the horse out into the
back garden.Til deal with yoii tomoiTow,' he said.
'Great party, isn't it?'
'Yes. Really cool,' said Frank. He was dancing with Sam's
cousin, Molly. Suddenly, Sam grabbed his arm.
'My brother's going to take us for a ride in his car. It was
liis bii'thday present.'
'Is thai a good idea?' said Frank. 'Your brother's had a lot
to drink.'
'Oh, he's a good driver. Don't woiry,' said Molly. 'Come
on.'
Tiie tyres squealed and the car .shot into the road. They
were travelling very fast, and the car almost turned over on
the comers. Frank felt sick.
'This is really tlangerous,' he said. 'Slow down!'
'No, it's great. I've never had so mtich h:in!' said Molly,
'Yes, don't be a wimp,' said Sam.
'Mo. I've had enough. I want to get out,' shouted Fi'ank.
'Stop (he car!'
The car screeched lo a stop and Frank got out. Then the car
drove off into the niglu. Frank looked around. He didn't
know where he was. It was cold and dark, and now it was
raining, too. 'How tlid I get into this?'' he cried. 'Why
did 1 get on that sltipid magic bus? I wish it was Saturday
morning again!'
Tiie next moment, Frank was standirig at Ihe bus stop,
blinking in the bright morning sunshine.
'Well, are you going to get on, or aren't you?'
It was the bus driver, but he wasn't smiling now. H e looked
very impatient.
'What?' said Frank. 'Er, no. No, I ' m not.' Tlien he turned
and ran home.
His parents were sitting at the kitchen table.
'I' m not going into town,' he said, 'I've decided to tidy my
room instead.'
Mr and Mrs Smith looked at eacli other. They couldn't
believe their ears. Frank turned to go upstairs.
'Oh, Frank,' said his father. 'We've had a talk about tiie
party and we think it will be all. right, but ...'
'No, it's OK,' said Frank. 'I've changed ray mind. I don't
want to go!'
He went up to his liedroom. 'That was really weird,' he
thought, 'Was it a dream? Hnli, a magic bus! Crazy!' And
he laughed. 'Maybe T will go to the party after all.'
Then he heard his not her 's voice - very loud. She was
calling his falher. 'Quick!' she shouted. 'Quick! I,ook!
There's a big, black horse in our back garden!'

For several centuries, long caravans of camels brought
these things along (he Silk Road to the porls in what is
now i�ebanon. From there, ships took.lhe things (o cities
all over ihe R oman Empire. The road was over 8,000
kilometres iong. Tt went from Itie Pacific Ocean across
Cenlral Asia to the Mediterranean Sea.
Tiie journey across Centra! Asia wasn't easy. The
merchants had to cross deserts and high mountains. Tn
(lie s u m m er it was burning hot and in the winter it was
freezing cold. So the things thai they hronght were very
expensive. (At one time Roman emperors tried to stop
Ihe trade because so much gold was leaving the empire
(o pay for llie things.)
Even when the Roman fimpire collapsed, trade along
P the Silk Road continued. It wasji't jusL goods tliat came
i
along die I'oad. Travellers also brought some important
inventions from China to the West - paper, printing,
gunpowder and Ihe compass all caine to Europe this way.

Sometimes travellers from Europe went to the
Far East. Tlie most famous was Marco l�olo, who
travelled from Venice to China in the 13lh century.
Wh en he returned, he wrote a book ahouL his journey
and about lire fabulous empire of Kuhlai Khan.
Eventually, however, tfie Silk Road became loo
dangerous. l..,ocal tribes attacked the caravans.
Sometimes diey asked for high taxes. Sometimes they
simply stole the goods and often killed the merchants,
too. By the end of the 15lh century, the Silk Road was
closed and tiie caravans slopped.
Europeans didn't want to lose the good things that
came from the Bast. One of the things tliey learnt
from China v.'as how to hnild larger sliips. With these
larger ships iind compasses, explorers from Spain and
Poitngal, like Vasco da Gaina, Bartholomew Diaz and
Christopher Columb\is, looked for new routes from
Europe to the East by sea. But that's another story!

television.
It was Christmas Eve, and Ebenezer Scrooge was sitting in
his cold, miserable office. In die next room, his clerk, Bob
Cratchit, was working. Cratcliit's office didn't have a fire, so
it was even colder than his boss's.
'Meny Christmas, Uncle!' cried a happy voice. It was
Scrooge's nephew, Fred.
'Bah, humbug!' said Scrooge. He was a mean, cold-hearted
old mar. and he hated Christmas.
'Are you going to join \is for our Christmas dinner
tomoricw, Uncle?' said Fred. 'We're earing at one o'clock.'
But Scrooge didn't think people should celebrate, even on
Christmas Day, so he refused.
As Fred was leaving, two gentlemen came to the office.
They were collecting money for the poor. Scrooge was veiy
rich, but he didn't give them any money. 'I'm not going to
give money to people who don't work - even at Christmas!'
he told the gentlemen.
When the time came to close the office, Scrooge spoke to
his clerk.
'1 suppose you want a day off tomorrow."
'If you don't inind, sir. It will be Christmas Day.'
'Well, I do mind. Why should I pay you for a day's work in
the office, when you won't be here? But I suppose you must
have it.' With that, Scrooge went home to his cold, daik
house.
That night, as Scrooge was eating a bowl of soup, he
heard a strange noise. He heard someone pulling some
heavy chains across tlie floor. Suddenly, a ghost walked
straight through his door It was Jacob Mariey, Scrooge's old
business partner.
'Mariey!' cried Scrooge, 'But you died seven years ago!'

He didn 't pay Bob He doubled Bob's waaes.

much money.

What is the moral of the story ?

'Yes,' said the ghost, 'and for seven years 1 have carried
tliese chains thai 1 made in my lifetime. 1 cannot rest,
because 1 was never good or generous when I was alive.'
'But why are you here?' said Scrooge. 'Whaf do you want?'
'1 am here to warn you. Ebenezer. If you don't change your
v.'ays, you, too, will can y chains like these for eternity.
Three spirits will visit you tonight. Remember what 1 have
told you.'
With that, the ghost disapipeared through the window.
Scrooge rtia to Lhe window and looked out. The air was full
of spirits, all canying chains and crying sadly.
Scrooge closed the window and went to bed. He soon fell
asleep, but, just as Marley's ghost said, three spirits visited
Scrooge that night. Each one took him on a journey.
'I lie first spirit was the Ghost of Christmas Past. The spirit
took Scrooge back to a time when he was a young man. He
saw himself at Christmas at a party, fie was singing and
dancing. The spirit then showed him his beautiful fiancee,
Belle, too. When he was young, he wanted to get married,
but as he got older, Scrooge started to love money more
than people. Gradually he lost all his friends. Belle married
someone else, and Scrooge became a mean, lonely old
man. Scrooge didn't enjoy seeing all this.
'Hie second visitor was the Ghost of Christmas Present, He
took Scrooge to see Bob Cratchit and his family. They were
very poor, because Scrooge didn't pay Bob veiy much. They
oiily had a very small chicken for Christmas dinner, but
they were laughing and smiling - even Tiny 11m, who was
veiy sick and weak. Scrooge felt ashamed. The Cratchits
were enjoying Christmas even though they were poor. He
liad lots of money, but he was mean and unhappy.
'The last spirit was the Ghost of Christmas Ftiture. He showed
Scrooge Christmas in the future - and it was a tenible
future, liny Tim was dead, because his parents couldn't
afford medicine for him. T'he Cratchits were heartbroken
and Rob was crying. Someone else was dead, too, but nobody
cried for him. In fact, a lot of people were happy.
'Wlio has died?' asked Scrooge. The spirit said nothing, bu t
he took Scrooge to a cemeteiy.
'Why have you brought me here?' he asked. Again, the
spirit said nothing. He just pointed to the dead man's
-
grave. On it was the name Ebenezer Scrooge,
Scrooge was :errified. 'Spirit. Listen! I'm going to change
I
my ways. promise. I've seen many things tonight and I've
learnt my lesson. Please tell me that t:he future won't he
like this. Please! Please!' The spirit didn't reply
Suddenly, Scrooge was back in his own bed again and it
was morning. He jumped up and ran to the window.
'What day is it?' he called to a boy in the street.
'Today?' The boy was very suiprised, 'Why, it's Christmas
Day.'
'So I haven't missed it,' thought Scrooge. 'God bless you,
Jacob Marley. And God bless Christmas!'
From that moment Scrooge was a different man. First lie
sent the boy :o buy an enormous turkey and take it to llie
Cratchits. Then he went out into the street and said 'Ivleny
Christmas' to everyone that he met. As lie was walking
along, he saw the gentlemen who had come to his office. 'If
you come to my office tomorrow, I'll give you some money
for the poor - a lot of money,' he told them. The gentlemen
were vety surprised. His nephew, Fred, and his wife were
surprised, too, when Scrooge arrived for Christmas dinner. -N
After Christmas when Bob Cratchit returned to work,
Scrooge said: T'm going to double your wages. Bob. And I'm
going to give you some money to help 'finy Tim,' So Tiny
Tim didn't die, and Scrooge didn't have any more visits
from spirits. He was always cheerful at Christinas and he
lived happily for die rest of his life,

1 Should parents lake all miodern
technology out of teenagers'

2 ShoLild the scfiool day start later for
teenagers? Why? / Why not?
Why do you wake up in ±ie
morning and go to sleep at
night? The answer is that we
all have a body dock. Youi"
brain produces hormones, like
melatonin and adrenaline, which
control the way your body works.
The body clock controls the '
production of these hormones,
so that your body produces i
A,
more at some times of the day
and less at other times. As a
result, you wake up and feel sleepy at different times of the day.
When light Mts your eyelids in the morning, your brain switches
off the sleep hormone, melatonin, your temperatm-e rises and you
wake up, In the evening, when it's dark, your brain starts to produce
melatonin again, and your body gets ready to go to sleep.
If you don't get enough sleep, you will feel tiiBd tlie next day
,j
According to a recent survey most teenagers say that they don't get
enough sleep. They need about nine hoiu's, but they normally only
get about seven hours. However, teenagers say that they go to bed. at
about 10 or 10.30 in the evening and tliey get up at about 7.30. That's
nine hotirs, so why don't they get enough sleep?
The problem is that the body clock doesn't stay the same all through
your life. When you're a child, you wake up naturally at about seven
o'clock, but when you become a teenager, your body clock changes.
The natural time for a teenager to wake up is nine o'clock in the
morning and the natural time to go to sleep is midnight, When you
become an adult, the body clock will go back to the early time again,
Scientists don't know why
Modern technology makes the problem worse. A lot of teenagers
have TVs, computers, MPS players and mobile phones in their
bedrooms. The bright light from a TV or computer screen stops the
production of melatonin and so keeps you awake. Loud music and
texts from friends will also make it difficiilt to sleep.
Dennis, 14, is one of the teenagers in the survey. '1 go to bed at 10. IS
every night, but 1 don't get nine horuB sleep,' says Dennis. 'I know that
1 won't go to sleep if I switdithe light off straightaway So, I normally
read and li.sten to music or the radio for an hour and a half. My parents
don't i.tnderstand,Wlien I'm awake in the evening, they say: "Go to
bed." Then at 7.30 in the morning vdien I'm asleep, they say; "Get up." '
Another teenager in the surrey, Anita, says: 'It's bad for me in
England. 1 start school at
8.45, but it's worse for my
friend, Suzie, in the USA. She
has to get up at 6, because
she starts school at 7.151'
Some scientists now
think that the school day for
teenagers should start later -
at about 10 am.

What do you do in the school holidays?
In Britain, activity holidays are very popular. Teenagers
spend a v*/eek or two at an aclivity centre (or summer
camp, as they're sometimes calied). Here you can
do all sorts ot exciting and interesting things, such
as horse riding, canoeing, rock climbing, mountain
biking, archery, go-karting and sailing. At some centres
i
you can also ride a motorbike or a quad bike, and
even drive a car (but not on ordinary roads, of course,
because you have to be 17 to taf�e your driving test),
Most young people today live in cities, so these holidays
i
if are a great opportunity to do exciting things and to enjoy
fresh air in the countryside or by the sea. In addition, the
activities help you to become more confident, because
they challenge you to do things that you wouldn't
normally do. On the Skywalk, for example, you have to
walk along a rope high up in the trees. It's a!l very safe,
of course. Everyone has to wear a helmet and
a safety harness, but you still need a lot of
confidence to step out onto a rope 30 metres
above the ground with just another rope to
hold onto. Another very popular activity is the
A" Zip Wire, where you hold onto a small bar or a
strap and slide down a long cable.

about their holidays at an activity centre. Find this

3 What was his / her favourite activity?
4 What did he / she like best about the fioliday?
There are activity centres all over Britain. Many of them
are in Wales and the Lake District. There are hills,
mountains, forests and lakes here, so you can do a lot
more things. Cornwall and Devon in the south-west of
England are popular places as well, because there are a
lot of oeaches for water activities and cliffs for climbing
there. Newquay in north Cornwall is excellent for surfing,
too.
A holiday in an activity centre isn't just about getting lots
of exercise. The social side is very important as well. You
make a lot of new friends, and for many of the activities
you have to work together A good example of this is raft-
building. in this, groups have some materials - barrels,
pieces of wood and ropes. Each group has to design
and build a raft from these things and then cross a river
or lake on it. it's very exciting, as each group wants to be
first. And not all of the rafts get to the other sidel
After an active day in the fresh air, everyone is ready for
a good meal. Then after dinner they get together to sing
songs or play indoor games, such as table tennis, pool
or darts. Some people prefer to just chat about the day's
activiiies. And after that everyone sleeps very weltl

TTrr—.....>1
In today's world, television is everyvi/here. However, it hasn't
always been like that. Ir 1945, tiiere were only 7,000 TV sets in
the USA. Now almost every liousehold in developed countries
has got at least one TV, For many people it's the most important
source of news and entertainment.--However, the growth of TV
raises some important questions.
Are we all becoming 'couch potatoes'? A study in the USA showed
that the average young person watches TV for 3 -4 hours a day.
What is this doing to their health? Studies show that there is
a link i�etween TV and health. A lot of children and teenagers
don't get enough exercise, because they spend too much time in
front of the TV. There is also a link with education. If children are
watching TV, they aren't doing other things, such as reading or
playing a musical instrument.
Is it good for families? When TV first started there were only a
few TV channels, and TV sets were expensive, so everybody in
the family used to watch the same programmes together. Now
satellite TV brings hundreds of different channels to our screens
and many families have more than one TV, so members of the
family all watch different programmes. Is this good for families?
If they don't share experiences, do they have less to talk to each
other about? And shouldn't parents know what their children are
watching?
Is it OK to show violence on TV? According to research in the USA,
the average 18-year-old has watched 40,000 murders on TV. Does
this make young people more violent? The answer seems to be
'yes', but it's very difficu.t to prove. We don't advertise cigarettes
or alcohol on TV because young people might start smoking and
drinking. So should we also ban violence, because young people
might become more violent?
TV is now a big part of most people's lives. In many ways, it's
made our lives richer, as we can watch almost anything that we
want, when we want. But has it also made us lazier, less friendly
and more violent?

Jake It's amazing h o w much food is needed for just a f ew

Ella There was something;;on the news about food last

won't be eaten, it will be t li rown away.
Jake Yes, I read that on the Internet. It's terrible. Most of
our food is imported, too. Look. These grapes were grown in
Chile. That's the other side of the world.
Ella This orange juice was made in South Africa.
Jake Amazing, isn't it? And all these things are f l o wn to
Europe and otiier places every day Then they're delivered to
supermarkets.
Ella Yes, everything is taken by lorries. So even more fuel
is used. And it's all just to bring us the food tliat we want.
Jake But at least no extra fuel was used to carry these
things from the supermarket to here, because I walked.
Ella That's trie. You probably carried those bags over
a mile.
Jake I know. My arms really ache now. But I saved the bus
fare and that's more money for my guitar.

Over 30,000 tonnes of snow and nearly 2,000
tonnes of ice are used to build the ICi:HOTEL in
Juklosjarvi, Sweden. The ice is made with water from
tlie RiverTorne. There's an ice cinema and an ice
bar, and almost everytiiing in tlie bedrooms is made
of ice - cliairs, tables, even the beds. You sleep in a
sleeping bag on reindeer skins. In the morning you can
lake a sauna or jump into the hot bath outside. Tlie
temperature inside tlie hotel never rises above minus
4°C, but snow suits, boots and gloves are provided. In
May, tlie hotel melts, so it must be rebuilt every year.
Prices are from €6 0 0 per double room per night.
If you want a room with an unforgettable view, you won't do better
thanTheTree Houses in Kerala, India.The two tree houses have
been built in the middle of a rainforest, thirty metres above the ground.
To reach them, you either liave to walk along a high rope bridge, or you
can be pulled up on a rope. From the hotel you can look out over the
rainforest and watch the beautiful birds flying past. Both tree houses
have got a sitting room, a bedroom and a shower. The larger house has
got two double bedrooms. One night costs from €150.

Lots of people like to stay in a hotel near the sea, but what
about a hotel that's actually in the sea? The Poseidon
Mystery Island resort in Fiji has got twenty-five suites that are
twelve metres under the surface of the Pacific Ocean. Seventy
per cent of each room is covered in clear acrylic, so you can
watch fish swimming past.The fish can be fed by pushing a
button. Guests are taken down ta Hie underwater rooms by
eieval,or. There's also a library, a tlieatre and a wedding chapel
down tliere. One week at the resort, including two nights in an
underwater room, costs € 22,00 0 for a suite.

Even when it's snowing outside you can have a tropical experience attheTropical Islands Resort in Krausnick,
Germany. The resort is built inside a hangar that was originally used for airsliips and is the biggest free¬
standing hall In the world.The 66,000 square metres contain the world's largest indoor tropica! rainforest, with
50,000 plants and a village where you can see copies of traditional buildings from Thailand, Borneo, Samoa and
Bali. You can relax on the beach and swim in the warm water of the lagoon. Or why not try the water slide? It's ,

 Furgusoii was probalily ilie greatest salesman
of all time. He was also a crtminal, because he
Aithur sold things that didn't belong to him - not just
small things, bttt some of tlie most famous btiildings and
monuments in the world.
He was b or n in Scodand, but he began his career as a
con man in London in tlie 1920s. One sunny day, he was
sitting m Trafalgar Square when he noticed an American
tourist admiring Nelson's Column.
'That's Admiral Nelson up there,' said Furguson casually,
and he poii�teci to the statue oh top of tlie colmun. 'He won
the Battle of Trafalgar. That's why this is called Trafalgar
Square.'
'Is that so?' said the American. 'This Is a fine square that
you have here.'
'Can I show you around?' offered Furguson. Tire wsitor
gladly accepted, so Furguson told him all about Nelson,
dne cohram, the square and the lions. He also asked the
American a lot of C|uestions and found out that the tourist
was extremely rich.
'It.'s all \'ery impressive,' said the American.
T h a n k )'ou,' replied Furgusoir. 'It's such a pity that we have
to sell it all,' he added.
'Sell it?' The American was amazed.
'Yes, unlortanately Britain is no longer a rich country,' said
Furguson sadly. 'So the government is going to sell our
most famous buildings and monument s to pay some of the
debts.'
'1 haven't heard anything about that,' said the visitor.
'No, well, the government has to keep it secret for now,'
whispered Furguson. 'ff news of this gets out, people will
be very angry. There will be a iot ol trouble.'
'Yes. 1 can understand that,' said the American. 'But how do
you k n ow about it?'
Furguson moved closer. 'As it happens,' he said quietly.
'I'm the person, w�ho lias to find a buyer. That's why I'm
here, I'm looking foi* people who might be interested in
bu�aiig it.'
'Well, I'm interested,' said the American. 'Could you tell me
... er ... How much does your government want for the
square?'
'About £5,000,' said Furgi.ison. (That was a lot of money in
those days.) 'We already have three possible buyers.'
'Do you think you could put in a word for trie with your
government?' said the Ainerican. 'In fact, I'll gladly pay
£.6,000.'
'Six thousand?' said Furguson, and he thought for a while.
Then he said: 'Just a moment. I'll go and phone my boss.'
W h e n fie returned, he congratulated the American.
liis offer was accepted. 'But we must complete the deal
immediately,' he added, 'because other buyers might offer
more if we wait.' 'That's not a problem.' said the visitor, and
he wrote a cheque for £6,000. Furgtison gave him a receipt
and the address of a sfiipping company that would send
the stjuare to die USA for him. Then they said goodbye and
Fru-guson wenl. straight to a bank to cash the clieqiie,
The people at the shipping company, of course, were very
surprised when the American phoned them. TTie police
were called in, but by then Furguson and the £6,000 were
gone. That summer, Arthur Furguson ma de a lot of money
irom rich American visitors. He 'sold' Big Ben for £1,000,
and another tourist put domi a deposit ol £2,000 on
Buckingham Palace.
In 1925, Furguson decided to tiy his luck on the odier side
of the Atlantic. He travelled to die USA and started 'selling'
some of die fa-iious monument s there, including the White
House in Washington DC. He was soon very lich, b ut
before he retired, he decided to have one last fiig sale,
His victim for'the sale of the century' was an Australian
. from Sydney Furguson persuaded him that the city of New
York wanted to sell the Statue of Liberty. 'They're going to
make the harhour wider,' he explained, 'because modern
sliips are much bigger now. Unfortunatefy, Liberty Island
with its famous statue is in die wa)','
'But the people of New York wil l be very angry about that,
won't they?' sad the Australian.
'Yes, they will' said Furguson. 'Thai's why you mustn't tell
anyone about it.'
They agreed a price of $100,000. However, the Australian
needed a few days to gee the money In that time Furguson
ne\'er left his victim, in case he told someone else about
die deal. One day, while diey were visiting the statue, the
Australian suddenly stopped another flsitor and said:
'Excuse me. V/ould you mind taking our photograph in
front of the slatue?'
'Of course,' said the other visitor, taking the camera.
Furguson couldn't refuse, so he stood arm in arm with his
victim for the photograph. And that was a big mistake.
Before the money arrived, the Australian started to become
suspicious about die deal and he went to the police widi
the photograph. They knew all about the super salesman's
activiries and the photograph m.atched the descriptions
from his other victims, The Australian led the police
straight to Furguson, He was arrested and sent to prison for
five years,
Furguson was refeased in 1930, but fie didn't change his
ways. He moved to Los Angeles, where he became very
rich again with more of his tricks. He lived diere in luxury
till he died in 1938.
