Read the text about how criminals can steal our identity. Match the headings to the paragraphs 1-5. CRAFTY CRIMINALS 1. Identity theft and credit card fraud can seriously wreck your life. Everyone thinks it will never happen to them. But criminals have got really good at it. In many cases, you don’t know it has happened until it’s too late and someone has run up a huge debt in your name. Here’s some advice to avoid some of the sneaky ways that people can steal your identity without you even knowing! 2. Do you just pop your credit or debit card back into your wallet after paying for something? You probably check the receipt, but chances are you hardly ever check the card. One man paid his restaurant bill and just happened to glance at his credit card. He was surprised to see it wasn’t his and it had expired. What shocked him even more, though, was that when he told the waitress, she simply said “Sorry about that.” She waved the card at the cashier who took out the real card and handed it over without saying a word. 3. You may think you know what’s in your wallet, but do you? One man went to the gym and put his wallet in his locker. When he returned it was unlocked. He checked his wallet and everything looked okay so he simply thought he must have forgotten to lock it. His next credit card bill was í10,000! He checked his wallet and what looked like his credit card was actually an expired card from the same bank. The thief had swapp edit for his at the gym. As he hadn’t reported his card stolen, he had to pay the huge bill. 4. Even if you’re standing right in front of the cashier while you are paying and you don’t take your eyes off your card, you can still be tricked. A customer was paying with a debit card at a takeaway restaurant. The cashier swiped the card and put it on the counter in front of him while waiting for the payment to be processed. Then she took out her mobile phone and started pressing the buttons like she was making a call. Then the customer heard a noise like a digital camera. The cashier gave the customer his card back and he was on his way home when he suddenly realised that she must have taken a photo of his card with her phone. He immediately cancelled it and called the police. 5. So, next time you or someone you’re with is using a credit card be extra careful. Be aware of everyone around you and what they’re doing. You never know when a thief is waiting to steal your identity. Don’t let it happen to you!

Read the text and choose the headings for each paragraph. There is one extra heading. 1. Winning a quick victory. 2. Saving a sportsman. 3. Fit and healthy again. 4. The first sporting events. 5. The club history. 6. Sport and its advantages. 7. The swimmer comes back. 8. Champions award ceremony. A. Sport can be a great way to develop life skills. It helps you to learn about teamwork, self-control, and competition. You set your goals and do your best to reach them. In a good sporting environment, children have the opportunity to make new friends and develop new interests. Sport also keeps you fit and greatly improves your health. If you do sports, you have no weight problems. B. German planes have finally managed to save a climber from one of the world's highest mountain peaks. Tom Gummar, a Slovenian, was trying to climb the mountain when he ran into difficulties. He had spent nearly a week six-thousand metres above the ground. All the previous attempts to save him had been unsuccessful because of snowstorms. Only yesterday the planes managed to reach him and now his health is improving. C. The Ancient Olympic Games were held in Greece. The beginning of these games is surrounded with mystery and legend. One of the most popular myths says that Heracles was the first who called the Games ʻOlympicʼ. He started the tradition of holding them every four years. The legend continues that he built the Olympic stadium in honour of his father. D. Former Wimbledon winner Maria Sharapova is back at the US Open semi-finals. "It's been a long road back to the tournament," said Sharapova, who had spent 10 months off court with a shoulder injury that needed serious treatment. “Now I’m in good shape again and hope to repeat the 2006 title win,” she added. E. Chelsea was founded in 1905 and it soon entered the Football League. In the early years they saw little success. From the very beginning Chelsea had a reputation for inviting famous footballers to play for them but the team changed dramatically only after a new coach, Ted Drake, joined it. He led them to their first main victory: they won the national championship. F. Yesterday Andy Wisler played one of his best matches at the Australian Open. Due to his wonderful performance he easily won three sets and the match was finished very quickly. It was impossible for his opponent Yang Chung to play at the same level and the match was finished in a very short time. Still, it should be mentioned that Yang Chung was an experienced Chinese tennis player. G. Janet Evans retired from swimming in 1996. She was sure her best days were behind her. She had won three gold medals at the Seoul Olympics and had set world records that had stood for years. Everyone was surprised when Janet announced her return. She said she was hoping to become part of the US Olympic team. A big decision after a 16 years break!

The ‘City of Angels’ was very busy and after a week we felt we needed a change, so we booked tickets to go on a guided tour to a Karen village in the north-west of the country. The next morning, an old van parked outside our hostel. A man jumped out and shouted our names at us. After around four hours, we arrived at the village. 2. As soon as we got off the bus, it felt like we stepped back in time. Everywhere we looked there were small bamboo huts and open fires with locals making their daily meals. Our tour guide told us that the Karen tribe lives the same way today as they did for generations. They grow their own food, weave their own cloth to make clothes and build their own huts. They are very friendly people. 3. What surprised me the most, though, were the huge bronze rings the Karen women wore around their necks. Karen girls first start to wear the rings when they are five years old. They begin with one ring, and over the years, they add more and more. By the time they become adults, some Karen women wear up to 15 rings, so their necks look extremely long. Most people say that Karen women do this so that they look like dragons, an important animal in the Kayan religion. On the journey back to Bangkok, I couldn't stop thinking about the lives of the Karen people. The whole day was a great experience.

Clean the work surfaces well to keep bacteria away. Mop the kitchen floor carefully too. 2) Wash fruit and vegetables well. Never chop raw meat and then use the same knife for other food – to cut your bread for example. There are lots of dangerous bacteria on raw meat. Use sharp knives and chop very carefully. 3) Bacteria can’t live in the cold, but they love warm kitchens! Always keep raw meat, cooked food and dairy products like milk, cheese and yoghurt in the fridge. Don’t put other food next to raw meat!
