9 Read the text. Match paragraphs A–E of the text with questions 1–7. There are two extra questions. The most dangerous journey
A How do you feel about car journeys? Do you get a bit bored, ask the driver how long it’s
going to take, and then fall asleep? Or do you get extremely anxious? This is exactly
how I felt last month, when I took a trip down the most dangerous road in the world.

B The North Yungas road in Bolivia goes from La Paz, which is a very large city to the
town of Coroico in the mountain region of the Amazon rainforest. The road is about
69 km long, but in that short distance it goes down from about 4,650 m high to 1,200 m.
Although it is only about three metres wide and there are no guard rails, cars travel in
both directions. The views are amazing, but between two and three hundred travellers
are killed every year when they drive off the side of this road. In Spanish it is called El
Camino de los Muertos – the Road of the Dead.

C When I went to visit my friend Jacqueline in La Paz, I had no idea how dangerous the
North Yungas road was. I was very excited about the trip to the Amazon rainforest that
she wanted to take me on. When we got on the bus, Jacqueline let me sit by the window
to get the best view. I didn’t feel suspicious at all.

D It was only when the journey started that I began to feel frightened. The bus drove right
to the edge of the road many times, and when I looked over, I could see the forest about
600 m below us. We drove on quickly through thick cloud – how do you know where
you’re going when you can’t see? I held on to Jacqueline’s hand. Then we drove under a
waterfall that was slowly washing the road away. I was shocked!

E When we met another car coming the other way, we drove so close to the edge of the
road that a wheel seemed to go off the edge. This happened several times and I started
thinking that we might not reach our final destination. When we finally got to Coroico, I
felt so relieved. I let go of Jacqueline’s hand and saw that it was red. I was a bit
embarrassed, but so happy that we were not on that road any more.
In which paragraph does the writer tell us ...
1 how many people die on the road? ___
2 about feelings people have when they travel? ___
3 about an injury that she had? ___
4 about dangerous weather? ___
5 that someone wanted her to see the sights? ___
6 how expensive the trip was? ___
7 that she thought she might die? ___

Batman is one of the most popular heroes of DC Comics Universe. First time he was mentioned in Detective Comics No27 in May, 1939. He has no special powers or abilities. His true name is Bruce Wayne and he's a billionaire. He's a very clever and well-educated man. So, all his "powers" are created by himself. As usual, he overcomes his enemies with stratagem and his self-created weapons. Also he is famous with his Batmobile. It's a great car with incredible abilities. It's also made by himself. He's also known as Dark Knight. Gotham is the city, protected by Batman. Joker is his most famous enemy. I think he's one of the greatest heroes in all comics Universe.

Living in the slums is hard.  People there have no comfortable homes, no jobs and a lot of free time.  All these lead to misery and crime.  To improve life in the slums means to demolish them completely.  But this is too radical and costly.  If this is not possible, improvements can start with finding jobs for the people who live in the slums.  If they have work, they will have money to buy food, clothes and will finally rent better apartments to live in.  Another way to improve slums is to repair the houses and to build better new houses.  Providing opportunities for better education for the children from the slums can finally result in their leaving the slums and living happier life elsewhere.
