For questions 1-6, choose the correct answer (1, 2, 3 or 4). Most people would have difficulty in telling these permanent residents of 10 Heathrow apart from the thousands of travellers that pass through the terminals each day. Wheeling suitcases full of their only belongings, they dress in Hawaiian-style holiday shirts or even business suits in order to give the impression that they are on a business trip or flying to a sunny destination. Eram, a middle-aged ex-law-student who became homeless after she 15 could no longer pay her rent, actually considers herself fortunate to live in Heathrow. She says, “I liked it here immediately. I have never felt lonely because there are so many people. I don’t mix much with the other homeless, although they are of all ages and from every walk of life. We all recognise each other, but I just like to keep to myself.” There are showers in 20 every terminal where Eram can stay clean and presentable. She can sometimes help herself to food passing by the caterers, and while away her time reading magazines and newspapers left behind by passengers. 2. Heathrow’s homeless have to pay attention to

For questions 1-6, choose the correct answer (1, 2, 3 or 4). t’s difficult not to suspect that Eram is just putting on a brave face. It’s hard to believe she’s truly satisfied with this way of life. Once a week, she travels to 25 London to pick up a cheque for £60 from a charity. “The cash goes nowhere,” she says. “Buying food at the airport is expensive. I don’t eat anything at breakfast 20 because, if I do, it makes me feel more hungry.“ Living in Heathrow isn’t easy for Eram. Besides being awakened by the jangle of coins as a passenger buys something from the machine, loud announcements and 30 bustling passengers, she has to engage in a full-time cat-and-mouse game with the police and security staff. It’s illegal to sleep at Heathrow unless you have a flight to catch, so along with the rest of Heathrow’s homeless population, Eram has to wash and change her clothes every morning in order to not stand out from the crowd and be detected. If she is, she faces a night 35 in the cold bus terminal or worse, being thrown out into the rain. “The builders who work overnight at the airport are very kind and don’t report the homeless to the authorities,” she says. “The cleaners turn a blind eye too.” Night workers aren’t the only ones trying to help this unusual group of people. Broadway, a homeless charity, visits the airport weekly to offer the 40 airport’s homeless temporary accommodation, help to get travel documents for migrant workers and attempts to reconnect people with their families. But, as a Broadway worker points out, “Homelessness is a way of life. It can be very difficult to convince people to receive help.” Like the passengers escaping to sunny holiday destinations, many of Heathrow’s homeless are 45 also in search of escape from debts, legal problems or family responsibilities. 4.

She was born on the 31-st of July 1965 in Bristol, England. When she was a child, her dream was to be a writer. When she was six, she wrote her first book about a rabbit. She was a clever student at school, and her favourite school subjects were English and foreign languages. After university, she worked as a secretary and then went to Portugal to teach English. She was very busy in the afternoon and in the evening, so she had some free time in the morning to write her books. Joanna came back to Britain and lived in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Born on February 8, 1834, in Tobolsk, Siberia to a large family, his early life was filled with financial struggles. Though his father passed away when Mendeleev was young, his mother prioritized his education and guided him towards a future in the sciences. Mendeleev's career flourished while teaching at the Saint Petersburg Technological Institute and the University, where he also conducted his research. His scientific curiosity and dedication led him to investigate a fundamental question of his time: How are the elements related to each other? Like other scientists, Mendeleev understood that elements had specific atomic weights and that they could be grouped based on these weights. But he noticed something that others had not. In 1869, Mendeleev proposed an innovative “Periodic Table”, where elements were arranged not only by their atomic weight, but also their properties, and left gaps for elements that were yet to be discovered. This distinct contribution was instrumental in helping us understand the nature of the elements and how they relate to each other. He not only grouped existing elements accurately, but he was also able to predict the properties of undiscovered elements. For instance, he accurately predicted the properties of Germanium, Gallium, and Scandium before they were even discovered! Dmitry Mendeleev passed away on February 2, 1907, but his legacy persists. His valuable contributions were recognized during his lifetime, and he was awarded the Davy Medal by the Royal Society of London in 1882 for his work in establishing the Periodic Law of the elements.
