Hearing Colours

         (1)

Imagine being totally colour-blind, living in a world of greys, being unable to see the difference between red and blue or yellow and pale green. That’s what life is like for Neil Harbisson. He was born with an irreversible condition called achromatopsia, or total colour blindness. That would make life difficult for anyone, but Neil is an artist – and the incredible thing is, he paints in colour.

(2)

When Neil was an art student, he only painted in black, white and grey because that is all he saw. He was very dissatisfied with his paintings. But one day, a young scientist called Adam Motandon visited the college to give a lecture. The two met and when Neil explained his problem, Adam decided to try to find a way to allow Neil to “see” colours using sound.

 (3)

Neil thought it was an impossible task, but Adam made special device that let him “hear” six colours. This is how it worked: light travels in waves, and different colours of light have different wavelengths. Red light has a long wavelength and violet light has a short wavelength. Adam used this fact to create a camera that measures the wavelength of the light that enters it and then makes a sound that corresponds to the colour of the light. So, if the camera sees red, it makes a low sound, if it sees violet, it makes a high sound.

Adam has now developed a much more sophisticated device, called the Eyeborg that allows Neil to see 360 different colours. Neil wears a camera on his head, which is attached to a laptop computer in a backpack. The computer analyses the colour and sends a sound to Neil’s wireless headset. It was a bit uncomfortable at first, but Neil soon got used to it.

The Eyeborg has made a huge difference to Neil’s art. He now uses a wide range of colours. If he wants to paint something, he points his camera at it and memorises the sound. Then he starts mixing when he hears the same sound again. Neil has had to memorise a lot of sounds, but he played the piano as a child and this has helped him a great deal.

(4)

“I’ve got used to all the sounds”, he says. “It’s noisy, but probably not much noisier than a busy city street.” However, it has created some unusual problems. People sometimes think that he is videoing them and they don’t like that. Security guards occasionally ask him to live shops! But Neil is now inseparable from his Eyeborg and wears it all the time.

A The interview with Adam Motandon

B Some disadvantages of the device

C The world of sounds

D Living in the world of greys

E Incredible paintings

F Neil’s musical compositions

G The meeting that changed Neil’s life

H How the device helps the artist

The People Next Door

A survey has just been published which shows that British people hate their neighbours. The results are alarming. 80% of the people who took part in the survey feel that their neighbours are inconsiderate. 25% don’t talk to the people who live next door and 10 % don’t even know their names. In fact, one million householders in Britain would like to move because of the people who live next door.

The biggest problem is the noise. Many of the complaints about noise came from people who live in flats and divided houses. These often have thin walls which can’t stop the noise from modern stereos or household appliances.

The other major problems are arguments about car parking spaces, and old people complaining about the young. Some disagreement last for a long time. In one case, people who live in the same house haven’t talked to each other for fifteen years. Sometimes the disagreement ends in violence. In one of the worst cases, a man shot a neighbour because he kept parking in “his space”.

When neighbours become friends they often help each other. However, the survey showed that 90% of neighbours never shared a meal, 80% had never had a drink together and 20% had never even spoken.

One solution to problem with neighbours is to talk about them with a professional “mediator” and, if necessary, to sign a written agreement. This service is available in more and more towns.

A  A neighbour was shot because of the car parking space.

B  People in Britain complaint about noise from their neighbours.

Animals at Home: Dogs

         (1)

Nobody knows how friendship between the man and the dog began: whether it came to the man attracted by the smell of the food and the warmth of the fire, or the man brought the cub of wolf to his dwelling and tamed it. But nevertheless, the dog is true friend and constant companion of the man for many thousands years. Skeletons and bones of dogs are found by archeologists at the places of excavations where prehistoric people lived. Ancient artists drew the pictures of the dogs on the rocks. In ancient Greece and Rome the dogs were so spread and valued so high that scientists and poets dedicated their poems and works to them.

(2)

Of course, dogs have not always been the ones we know nowadays. But after the man began to take care of them, under the influence of the changing conditions, the dogs have changed too. People began to create new breeds of dogs, using their natural qualities: a fine sense of smell, keen ear, strength and deftness. There are more than four hundred breeds of dogs now.

(3)

But the main quality of the dog is not in its working skills and tricks which it can be taught. The invaluable merit of the dog is in its unselfish love and devotion to the man. The evidence of this is in all the history of the man’s friendship with the dog. It’s no mere chance that in many cities of the world there are monuments to the dogs – the signs of memory and gratitude of the man to his four-legged friend.

(4)

In Paris, at the entrance of the dog cemetery there is the famous monument to St Bernard dog, Barry by name, who saved forty people lost on the snowy Big Bernard pass. By the way, the name of the breed appeared thanks to Barry who lived there at St Bernard Church. Fearless Barry saved forty men and died from the hand of the forty-first one who took him for a wild animal.

A Archeological excavations.

B The reason the dogs have changed.

C The dog cemetery.

D The evidence of the man’s love to the dog.

E Dogs’ tricks and skills.

F The history of friendship between the man and the dog.

G The Greek breeds of the dogs.

H The great dog’s deed.

Drugs in Sport

Many kinds of drugs are used by athletes competing in sports all over the world. Some are used to build muscles or to give the athlete extra energy. Others kill the pain of injuries or calm nerves. Many are illegal and dangerous.

Taking substances to improve sports performance is not new. Athletes in Egypt drank a special mixture oiled donkey hoof to make them winners. The winner of the 200 metres at the Olympic Games of 668 BC in ancient Greece used a special diet of figs.

What kinds of drugs are used by some people in sports?

Anabolic steroids resemble male hormones. “Anabolic” means “to build up” – in this case to build up muscles. Body-builders use anabolic steroids on order to look good in competitions.

Stimulants make you feel full of energy and confidence, but they can also make you feel more aggressive. They are officially banned in sport, but amphetamines have been abused by cyclists, who need lots of stamina, and cocaine has been used by basketballers and footballers to make them more competitive.

Because of the health risks and the regular tests, some athletes are looking for new ways of cheating. These include natural substances (such as growth hormone) that have the same effect as man-made drugs, and taking extra blood a few days before competition.

All of these things can cause severe health problems including liver cancer, heart disease, infertility, and even death. And yet athletes still abuse their bodies. Some of them will be paying a very high price for winning.

5. Which of the following facts is FALSE according to the text?

A  In ancient times sportsmen took some substances to become winners.

B  Stimulants are officially permitted in sports.

C Anabolic steroids are used by bodybuilders in order to look good.

D Taking drugs can cause infertility.

6. The word “banned” in the line 11 means…

A useful

B permitted

C essential

D forbidden

7. Which statement is TRUE about drugs in sports?

A Egyptians in ancient times drank a special mixture made of donkey hoof.

B All drugs used in sports kill the pain and calm nerves.

C Anabolic steroids are usually abused by basketballers and footballers.

D A new way of cheating is using a special diet of figs.

8. What do the sportsmen take drugs for?

A To cause severe health problems.

B To make them more competitive, stamina, feel full of energy and confidence.

C To find new ways of cheating.

D To become more aggressive and look good in competitions.
