3 Goalball Scores! Fast, furious, skilful and fun! That s the way people describe goalball, a sport that is winning new fans every day. It s a thrilling indoor game for teams of three. The aim is to score by getting the ball over the opposing team s goal line. The Woodbridge Arena was buzzing last night as this year s basketball championships reached their climax, The favourites made their mark early on and set the pace for the game as the Eagles struggled against the superior height of Johnson and Murray. The pair dominated the passing and made sure the Arrows ended their second quarter with an overwhelming 34 point lead. Rob Lane s long passes brought the Eagles back to life just after the break and upset the opposition for a time. But the Arrows kept their nerve to secure a narrow victory. Gomez, the victorious captain, later praised the newly redesigned wheelchairs the team are trying out. We really noticed the extra flexibility of the wheels. It made turning easier and that helped our confidence. The future of the game certainly looks bright on the evidence of this final. 6. Fast, furious, skilful and fun!

5 She decided to get a box to put the photographs in. She twisted round and ran to the stairs. Those who hurry fastest are the first to fall was one of her Grampa s sayings, and it was as if she heard him saying it now, right out loud in her ear as she stumbled on the top step. Seconds later she landed with a crash at the foot of the stairs. Her head hurt, her bottom hurt and her legs throbbed painfully. Fiona was quite alone in the big empty house. She started to get up. Her legs were caught underneath her body and she tried to heave herself up and straighten them out. Oww, she yelped. A stabbing pain flared in her knees. She moved again, this time more carefully. 19. Grampa said to Fiona, Those who hurry fastest are the first to fall. (page 11) Explain what he meant pain flared in her knees.

6 Music isn t just a question of sounds. The thing about playing percussion is that you are not just creating sound, not just playing notes or beating out a pattern. You are creating emotions from inside yourself that can be sometimes beautiful and uplifting but are, sometimes, ugly or disturbing. To be a good musician, music has to come from deep inside you, from a seed growing in your heart. Not far under the surface of the Earth, it is hot. The further down you go inside the Earth, the hotter it becomes. Deep, deep down below our feet, it is so hot that even the rock melts and is nine times hotter than boiling water. In places where the Earth s surface is weak, this liquid rock can bubble up and burst through. These weak spots are the world s volcanoes. 10. What do you think Evelyn meant by a seed growing in your heart? this liquid rock can... burst through What does the word burst tell us about the movement of the lava?

7 On that fateful day in AD 79, the town nearest the volcano was completely smothered under a layer of ash and rock. This unusual blanket protected the remains of the town of Pompeii for hundreds of years. Gradually it has been uncovered and many fascinating discoveries have been made. By studying these remains experts have found out about life in the area near the volcano and about the day the volcano erupted. They found scenes preserved exactly as the people had left them: tables laid for meals with loaves of bread, baskets of eggs and nuts, all now solidified. Today, thousands of tourists flock to see the remains of this unique town, trapped in time. People are fascinated by the opportunity to see what life was like two thousand years ago. Many also make the difficult climb up Mount Vesuvius to peer into the smouldering crater. The huge number of visitors who visit Pompeii every year is bringing a large set of problems. Parts of the ruins are being worn away just by the large numbers of people who pass through. Furthermore, not all visitors treat the site with respect. There has been vandalism, some treasures have been stolen and some people just don t realise the danger of clambering over the remains both to themselves and to the ruins. One archaeologist has gone as far as to describe what is happening now as the seconddeath of Pompeii trapped in time. Why do you think Pompeii was described in this way? 19. Explain why the archaeologist believes that he is watching the second death of Pompeii.
