SO YOU WANNA BE A ROADIE?

The boy had already been called for lunch three (1)           [time, times, tense, sometimes]. Each time the door was opened, deafening heavy metal music blasted through the rest of the house like a fireball. (2)           [Finally, Therefore, So, Thus]he appeared in his teenage splendour, all dressed in black with studs and piercings. He seated himself among the adults with a scowl. He didn't contribute to the conversation (3)               [if i, unless, but, provided that]addressed directly.

«What are you planning to do when you leave school?» the woman next to him asked at one moment.

«I wanna be a roadie», he replied. There was silence for a moment as everyone digested this. He looked pleased with the lack of reaction.

«I was a roadie for a (4)         [whereas, times, second, while]», said one of the men at the table. «And the whole my job consisted of humping huge boxes around - from big trucks onto stages and then from stages into big trucks».

«Which band did you work for?» asked the boy.

«I didn't work for a band, I worked for the production company that staged the concerts - like most roadies do».

«But don't bands have their own roadies?»

«Yeah, they do», the man said, «bands have their own roadies - usually somebody's brother or best mate - who are trusted workers that travel with the band and form part of the «family» along with the musicians (5)             [himself, herself, theirselves, themselves], their managers, the technicians, etc. But the vast majority of roadies are employed by the production company like I was, and they’re as low as they can be - they don't travel with the band, and they aren't (6)         [let, allowed, must, permit]to do anything except for humping huge boxes around».

The boy wasn't going to let this put him off.

«What about (7)              [free, charge, uncontrolled, open]concert tickets?»

«The roadie is the bottom of the pile, remember, and the last person who gets free tickets for the concert».

The boy was still not convinced.

«But you must get to meet the rock stars».

«The closest I ever came was when I was doing the Rolling Stones at Wembley. The door of the first one opened and Mick Jagger got out. He looked in my direction and then began walking towards me, a big smile on his face. I panicked! «What am I going to say to him?» I thought. Of course, he walked straight up to the woman standing (8)        [near, by, nearby, next]to me, kissed her, spoke a few words and then walked away. That's all».

The boy refused to give in.

«But everyone involved in the rock music scene gets paid a lot of money - there's that at least».

«Roadies get paid a pittance! When you do a really big performance - one that involves days to set up - then you end up with quite a lot of money in your pocket, (9)     [on, in, for, to]the simple reason that you work so many hours and don't really have time to spend any of it. I can't remember how (10)      [much, many, few, lot]we got paid per hour, but to give you an indication of how much we earned, I did one concert at Wembley (I can't remember who was playing then) which finished late, and by the time we’d cleared up afterwards it was 4 or 5 in the morning. We walked home to south London! It must have been about 20 miles! And do you know why we walked? Because we worked out that if we' d caught a taxi, then we would have spent nearly all the money we'd earned that night! That's how well roadies get paid!»

The boy was looking a bit (11)            [miserable, depressing, sadly, happily].

«But it can't be all bad, surely», he said.

«Well, no, you do get to see all the concerts for free», the man replied.

«It's OK», the boy told himself. No granddad's tales were going to (12)          [prove to, satisfy, sure, convince]should or shouldn't do. He'd be a roadie if he wanted to. Or maybe he wouldn't be a roadie. Maybe he'd be a rock star instead.

FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE

The (1)                 [well-knowner, well-knownest, more well-known, most well-known]nurse of all time must be Florence Nightingale, who (2)            [become, became, has become, had become]famous for her work during the Crimean War in the middle of the nineteenth century.

Florence Nightingale was born in 1805 in Kingston, Jamaica. Her mother was Jamaican and her father was Scottish. Her mother (3)         [run, ran, running, has run]a boarding house for invalid soldiers and was also an expert in herbal remedies which she used to treat the soldiers. When her mother died, Florence took over the boarding house and the care of the sick soldiers. (4)      [At, On, With, In]1850 there was a serious outbreak of cholera in Jamaica. Florence worked night and day to help the victims and created her own herbal medicine for the disease. She also believed that clean conditions, fresh air and good food (5)      [are, were, be, been]important in (6)          [fight, fought, fighting, fighted]the disease, ideas which most doctors thought were ridiculous. During the war, she saved the lives of thousands of people.

HOW TO GET TO ENGLAND

London is a global transport hub, so you can (7)        [easy, easily, ease, easier]fly to England from just about anywhere in the world. In recent years, the massive growth of budget airlines (8)                [increasing, has increased, had increased, were increased]the number of routes and reduced the fares between England and other countries in Europe.

Your other main option for travel between England and mainland Europe is ferry, (9)         [either, both, neither, or]port-to-port or combined with a long-distance bus trip-this type of travel has less environmental impact than (10)        [fly, flying, flown, flew], although journeys can be long and financial savings not huge compared with budget airfares. International trains are much more comfortable, and another «green» option; the Channel Tunnel allows direct rail services between England, France and Belgium, with onward connections (11)       [on, to, in, under]many other European destinations.

Getting from England to Scotland and Wales is easy. The bus and train systems are fully integrated and in most cases you won't even know you have (12)          [cross, crosses, crossed, crossing]the border. Passports are not required - although some Scots and Welsh may think they should be!

Read the text below. Match choices (A-H) to (12-16). There are three choices you do not need to use.

A Laugh at yourself.

B Build trust.

C Listen.

D Be assertive.

E Relax.

F Forgive.

G Acknowledge that you have a problem with managing anger.

H Use Anger Management techniques to interrupt the anger cycle.

ANGER MANAGEMENT

Anger can be normal and healthy emotion that helps us instinctively detect and respond to a threatening situation. More than this, when it is properly channelled, it can be a powerful motivating force we all know how hard we can work to remedy an obvious injustice.

(12)   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]It is an observed truth that you cannot change what you don't acknowledge. So it is important to identify and accept that anger is a roadblock to your success.

(13)   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]Pause.

Take deep breath.

Tell yourself you can handle the situation.

Stop the negative thoughts.

(14)   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]Angry people can be cynical people. They believe that others are going to do something on purpose to annoy or frustrate them even before it happens. If you can build trust in people, you will be less likely to become angry with them when something does go wrong and more likely to attribute the problem to something other than a malicious intent.

(15)   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]Remember, the word is assertive, NOT aggressive. When you are angry, it is often difficult to express yourself properly. You are too caught up in the negative emotion and your physiological symptoms (beating heart, red face) to put together solid arguments or appropriate responses. If you learn to assert yourself and let other people know your expectations, boundaries, issues, and so on, you will have much more interpersonal success.

(16)   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]To ensure that the changes you are making go much deeper than the surface, you need to excuse the people in your life that have angered you. It is not easy letting go of past hurts and resentments but the only way to move past your anger is to let these feelings go and start fresh. (Depending on what, or who, is at the root of your anger, you may have to solicit the help of a professional to achieve this fully.)

These steps form a comprehensive plan to get control of inappropriate and unproductive anger And the quicker you begin, the better.

Even if you are not at the point where you feel your anger is a problem, it is a wise idea to familiarize yourself with the processes listed. If you do not have the tools to deal with anger correctly, it has a way of building-up over time. Before you know it, you can be in a position where anger is controlling you and becoming a negative influence in your life. Being proactive with anger management will help to ensure it remains a healthy emotion that protects you from unnecessary hurt or threat.
