FLASH MOBS – A DIFFERENT KIND OF EVENT
In 2003, an unusually large number of customers arrived without warning in the carpet department of Macy’s Department Store in New York. His assistants couldn’t understand why all of them were so interested in buying exactly the same carpet. In 2006, 4,000 people arrived with MP3 players and headsets at a London railway station and started dancing at a set time. As no music could be heard, this looked very strange. Police were even called to make sure that trains continued to run on time, but when they arrived the dancers had gone.
These are two examples of ‘flash mob' events, when a crowd of people suddenly come together in a public place, perform an unusual action and disappear as quickly as they appeared. They are organised using electronic media such as mobile phones or the internet.
To their fans, flash mobs are simply a chance to have some light-hearted, if rather silly, fun. However, when just under 2,000 people got together in San Francisco for an enormous pillow fight, it ended up costing thousands of dollars. Unfortunately, a heavy rainstorm meant that the city was left covered with wet feathers, which caused streets, shops and a restaurant to be flooded, and ruined the local fountain.
It took several days to put the damage right. Norman Dito, head of the city’s Recreation and Park Department said, ‘In future, organisers of such events should apply for permission beforehand and pay the standard fee to cover security, insurance and cleaning up afterwards. Unfortunately, I’m afraid this is unlikely to happen, since nobody knows who the organisers are, or when or where a flash mob will take place next’.
31. What is the writer’s aim in this text?
A. to complain about a recent flash mob
B. to warn people against going to flash mobs
C. to give advice on how to arrange flash mobs
D. to explain what flash mobs involve
32.The police were called to the London railway station to
A. stop the trains being delayed
B. arrest the dancers
C. make sure no-one was injured
D. prevent people watching the event
33. What does the reader learn about the pillow fight in San Francisco?
A. Videos of what happened appeared on the internet.
B. Local businesses closed before it happened.
C. The city had to spend a lot of money as a result.
D. The crowd cleaned up afterwards.
34. Norman Dito thinks controlling future flash mob events would be impossible because
A. the identity of the organisers is unknown.
B. the preparations would take too long.
C. so many people take part.
D. it would be too expensive.
35. What would a fan of flash mob say?
A. There’s an advertisement in the newspaper about an event in the Central Square on Friday. We can go together if you’re interested.
B. The organisers have made all the safety arrangements for the next event. It’s expensive, but it’ll be worth it.
C. A big crowd is expected at the event. Afterwards, it’ll be great to have a chat with everyone there.
D. It’ll be fantastic fun – nobody is expecting to see us and we’ll disappear before anyone realizes.

OCEAN RESEARCH
Tessa Watt's biology teacher was delighted when Tessa told him she was joining a special project she’d seen on a biology website. The project offered young people the chance to take part in sea-life research in a specially protected area around an island in the Indian Ocean for a month during the summer.
The place was known for its beauty, but the work was challenging. However, part of it involved going diving daily so though Tessa's parents had to pay a lot for her flight there, it still wasn't as much as a week’s holiday in any diving resort. To join, a diving certificate was essential, and although Tessa already had one, she hadn’t done any diving for a while, so had to spend time in the water before her adventure.
The project she joined was solving a real problem. The level of ocean coral - a hard pink or white structure made up of millions of tiny sea creatures - had reduced by up to 90%, following unusual weather in previous years, possibly caused by global warming. The project's divers had to discover how many different coral types were present in the sea and how healthy they looked. This information was sent to international scientists to help them learn about the effects of rising temperatures on these creatures.
Tessa’s home for the month was an old camp now used by the project's professional staff, and people who, like Tessa, were working there as students rather than employees. Tessa and other group members quickly learnt the camp routine, which, in addition to tasks like putting information onto the computer and checking the boats, included housework. Several people tried to avoid this, complaining that they were just there to help with research, but the organisers soon explained what was expected.
There was also studying to do, with everyone needing to prove they could identify different corals before being allowed out to sea without a staff-member.
It wasn’t all work though: Tessa's group explored parts of the jungle with experts, and made visits to a nearby school where they were taught more about the island by the children themselves. Trips further out were limited to weekends, and although Tessa and her friend occasionally hired cars to enjoy the island's beaches, they generally caught crowded local buses into the island's capital, as there was little time to do more.
A lot of work was needed to keep the camp running and everyone supplied with meals. They had very simple ingredients, and preparation wasn't helped by having a basic kitchen. For Tessa, however, the whole experience was incredible. She learnt that she could do more than she thought possible, and made many new friends.
