In 2010, a huge earthquake (1) ... Haiti, causing the deaths of over a hundred thousand people. The international community jumped into action to provide aid. On this occasion, funds (2) ... with amazing speed  — within a week of the quake, the American Red Cross had raised $22 million. The reason? People (3) ... via their mobile phones.

Technological advances have changed how charities work. Gone are the days when someone (4) ... on your front door and politely asked you to make a donation. In today’s world of computers, smartphones and tablets, charities can now reach more people than ever before. Social media in particular (5) ... a great impact on charity fundraising. New, innovative ways of donating are being thought up all the time. For example, if you want to support a good cause and keep fit at the same time, you can use an app called Charity Miles. The app can track the distance you run or cycle. For every kilometre you cover, the app’s sponsors (6) ... a donation to a charity of your choice. Apps like Charity Miles (7) ... in number, and that can only be a good thing. In the future, it’s likely that we’ll all be able to give to our favourite causes more easily and more often.

C.  What did you think of the Science class?

D.  It was quite interesting really, although, at first, I didn’t know what to think about Miss Charles.

§ 1. Sometimes the road to romance is long. ‘Lonesome George’, a giant Galapagos tortoise, is the last of his subspecies and thus profoundly alone. Living far out in the Pacific on the island of Pinta in the Galapagos Islands, he is officially the rarest living creature on Earth.

§ 2. No animal better captures the history of the Galapagos Islands than the giant tortoise. There used to be thousands of them roaming over these Islands. Observations of them by Charles Darwin even formed part of his world-changing theory of evolution.

§ 3. Sadly, however, mostly because for centuries the passing sailors had been hunting the giant tortoises for food, there are now only an estimated fifteen thousand left in the Galapagos Islands. Of the fifteen known subspecies, four are already thought to be extinct, as was the Pinta giant tortoise until Lonesome George was discovered in 1971. This came as a pleasant surprise to scientists since no other Pinta tortoises had been found on Pinta Island since 1906.

§ 4. Since George was discovered, he has become the star attraction at the Charles Darwin Research Station where conservationists have been hoping to rescue some of his genes by mating him with another tortoise. Two females from the nearby island of Isabela, the most closely related to the Pinta subspecies that could be found, were put into his enclosed territory with him in 1992, but he failed to take the hint.

§ 5. Then, Professor Jeffrey Powell, an evolutionary biologist from Yale University, came up with a possible reason why Lonesome George was not finding true romance with the ladies from Isabela. Perhaps, he suggested, they were simply too different to him to be a suitable match. Sailors often carried the tortoises from one island to another, he pointed out. So there could be a perfect Pinta match for George alive and well on Isabela or even on some more distant island.

§ 6. To begin testing his theory, Professor Powell compared DNA from seven Pinta tortoises with blood samples from twenty-seven giant tortoises living on Isabela. Among these samples, they found one tortoise with clear signs of Pinta ancestry (про­ис­хож­де­ние). Sadly, however, the newly discovered tortoise was not suitable for George: he was male.

§ 7. Powell with his team intends to return to Isabela and take blood from more than two thousand tortoises. If they do indeed find a Pinta female, they hope to take her to George’s territory and attempt to breed the pair. The possibility remains, then, that Lonesome George may one day not be so lonely after all.

An interview with a couple who own a holiday home in the French Pyrenees

Why did you decide to buy a holiday home here?

We have always loved travelling and spending time in different countries on holidays. It made sense to us to have somewhere which was our own, where we could go back to again and again whenever we liked. (1)_________ It has everything we were looking for: mountains, beautiful scenery, good countryside for walking and there are towns and a major city nearby. We looked at some very remote places but decided we wanted to be in a town. We enjoy being able to walk down to the shops in the morning to get fresh bread and walk to a restaurant for dinner in the evening. It was important to us that it was easy to get to for short holidays too so the fact that there is an airport nearby was a key factor. (2)____________ We love both of our houses even though they are very different in style and in very different places.

How did you find this particular property?

We did some research into the area we liked and we looked at adverts on the Internet. Then we went to an agency which specialised in property in the area where we were looking. They were really helpful and in three days they took us to a number of different houses as well as some empty plots of land with potential for building a new property. (3)_________ We spent time talking to the couple who were selling it and looking around the garden в as well as the house. It’s not a big house; there are only two bedrooms, but it is exactly what we were looking for. It has a fantastic terrace with views of the mountains. It's very picturesque. In fact it is a beautiful place to have a holiday at any time of the year.

What do you like most about owning a second home?

(4)___________ We spend lots of holidays here ourselves and sometimes friends and family join us, but we also let friends and family stay in it by themselves if they want to. It means the house is occupied more, and the more it is used the better. We also like that we have met some good friends here. (5)_________ It means we don’t feel like strangers when we’re here. Another thing we like is that there is always somewhere new to visit and explore as well as favourite places to go back to.

Would you like to move and live here permanently?

No. We have too much that we would miss back home: good friends and family. (6)________We might come for a month or more at a time instead of a week or two as we do now. But we bought it as a holiday home or second home not somewhere to live all the time. We like having both our homes and don’t want to give up either of them.

За­пол­ни­те про­пуск (1) одним из пред­ло­жен­ных тек­сто­вых фраг­мен­тов (1−5). Два фраг­мен­та яв­ля­ют­ся лиш­ни­ми.

1) Home buying is an emotional experience that’s personal to each buyer.
2) The weather is usually better than what we’re used to at home with lots of blue sky and sunshine, even in winter.
3) And finally we were looking for somewhere in contrast to where we live the rest of the year.
4) We visited this area a couple of times and we really liked it.
5) The house we now own was actually the last one we saw and we instantly knew it was perfect.

1) Home buying is an emotional experience that’s personal to each buyer.
2) The weather is usually better than what we’re used to at home with lots of blue sky and sunshine, even in winter.
3) And finally we were looking for somewhere in contrast to where we live the rest of the year.
4) We visited this area a couple of times and we really liked it.
5) The house we now own was actually the last one we saw and we instantly knew it was perfect.

An interview with a couple who own a holiday home in the French Pyrenees

Why did you decide to buy a holiday home here?

We have always loved travelling and spending time in different countries on holidays. It made sense to us to have somewhere which was our own, where we could go back to again and again whenever we liked. (1)_________ It has everything we were looking for: mountains, beautiful scenery, good countryside for walking and there are towns and a major city nearby. We looked at some very remote places but decided we wanted to be in a town. We enjoy being able to walk down to the shops in the morning to get fresh bread and walk to a restaurant for dinner in the evening. It was important to us that it was easy to get to for short holidays too so the fact that there is an airport nearby was a key factor. (2)____________ We love both of our houses even though they are very different in style and in very different places.

How did you find this particular property?

We did some research into the area we liked and we looked at adverts on the Internet. Then we went to an agency which specialised in property in the area where we were looking. They were really helpful and in three days they took us to a number of different houses as well as some empty plots of land with potential for building a new property. (3)_________ We spent time talking to the couple who were selling it and looking around the garden в as well as the house. It’s not a big house; there are only two bedrooms, but it is exactly what we were looking for. It has a fantastic terrace with views of the mountains. It's very picturesque. In fact it is a beautiful place to have a holiday at any time of the year.

What do you like most about owning a second home?

(4)___________ We spend lots of holidays here ourselves and sometimes friends and family join us, but we also let friends and family stay in it by themselves if they want to. It means the house is occupied more, and the more it is used the better. We also like that we have met some good friends here. (5)_________ It means we don’t feel like strangers when we’re here. Another thing we like is that there is always somewhere new to visit and explore as well as favourite places to go back to.

Would you like to move and live here permanently?

No. We have too much that we would miss back home: good friends and family. (6)________We might come for a month or more at a time instead of a week or two as we do now. But we bought it as a holiday home or second home not somewhere to live all the time. We like having both our homes and don’t want to give up either of them.

За­пол­ни­те про­пуск (4) одним из пред­ло­жен­ных тек­сто­вых фраг­мен­тов (1−5). Два фраг­мен­та яв­ля­ют­ся лиш­ни­ми.

1) We love that we can share it with our friends and family.
2) Next year we will both retire and then we will be able to spend much more time here.
3) That wasn't a very good start to our holiday but it is lucky it happened to us and not friends of ours.
4) It is so nice each time we come out to have a group of people to spend time with and social events to go to.
5) When your emotions are involved in a purchase, there’s a possibility that those emotions can get out of hand.
