In the 18th century, high heels were standard for both men and women but lost popularity after the French Revolution. When they returned again in the 20th century, they were seen as a symbol of femininity in the fashion world and of professionalism in the business world. As women gained more freedom and power, high heels became higher, thinner and harder to walk on than ever before. Some women love their high heels and would not go without them, but many others would prefer to do without the discomfort they cause. Unfortunately, high heels are often necessary for a woman if she wishes to be taken seriously in the workplace in certain cultures. In Japan, for example, high heels are compulsory at many companies. A petition protesting against this regulation was even turned down by Japan’s Minister of Health and Labour saying this practice was “necessary and appropriate”.2.
It is not unusual for hotel guests to take shower gel and other toiletries with them when they leave. They might also take towels or coat hangers or even the iron. However, these are minor incidents compared to the new trend – that of disappearing mattresses, especially in luxury hotels. Many hotel mattresses are of such high quality that they have become a real temptation for thieves. The method of getting someone to distract staff at reception and sneaking an object out while no-one is looking is not the most efficient in these cases. Instead, mattresses usually disappear during the night in hotels that have an elevator directly connected to the underground car park. But other incidents have also made the headlines. For example, one hotel was recently robbed of its grand piano by a group of men in overalls claiming that the piano was due to be collected for repair.3.
When you are filling up with petrol, using the car wash or drinking a coffee, keep an eye on the time if you wish to avoid a penalty. There may be a 30-minute or even only a 20-minute maximum stay limit. Several petrol companies in the UK have installed CCTV cameras at the entrances and exits to fuel stations in order to enforce the new rule. Any driver who overstays the limit may be fined up to £100. Many motorists have complained about the unrealistic time constraint and think that 45 minutes would be much more reasonable. If there is a queue at the pump or at the till or if you have to wait to use the car wash, it is highly probable that you will need more time than is allowed. What makes things worse is that few drivers are aware of this new rule. Warning signs at the petrol station can easily be missed, especially after dark.4.
A missing 310-year-old violin worth £250,000 has been returned to its owner with help coming from an unexpected place. Stephen Morris, who has played as soloist in concerts and recorded with several famous singers, left his instrument on a luggage rack by mistake when getting off his train
in south-east London. After he reported the loss, police examined CCTV footage from the journey which showed a man taking the violin and then leaving the train. The image of the man was released to the public and Morris appealed for help stating that the loss was “like having my arm cut off”. In a moment of guilt, the thief contacted Morris and personally handed the violin back to him in a carpark with his sincere apologies. Morris sent out a tweet thanking the public for their support and saying he was happy that he could sleep again now that he had his beloved instrument back.5.
A man has been jailed for stealing more than 7,000 books from Scottish universities and then selling them online to make an amazing amount of money. The textbooks he stole were in demand from students studying subjects such as marketing, business studies and nursing. His illegal business was detected by Douglas, a PhD student who wanted to borrow a specific textbook from his university library. The book was not available, but Douglas later found it and another book online. He became suspicious when the books arrived, because they had originated from his university library but had a fake “withdrawn” stamp on the cover. When the university and police investigated, they discovered that over 4,000 books in the system were missing. With the help of intelligent software, they were able to track down the criminal entrepreneur. He had used a visitor reader’s ticket and simply removed the books in his rucksack. It was also discovered that he had stolen books from several other universities too.

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
Reading, Part 2
Read the following text, then choose the answers to questions 6–10.
Mark your answers on the answer sheet.A losing battle
Not every beautiful plant growing in your garden or in the countryside is a welcome sight. We are not talking about normal weeds – plants which are not wanted, but can be removed with a bit of hard work. This article features another category: species, often from overseas, that grow where they do not belong and are dangerous for humans and even buildings. These non-native plants invade new areas, spread rapidly and are difficult to remove. As a result, they are called non-native invasive plants. Not growing in their home country, the problem with many of these plants is that they often have no natural enemies to keep them under control.
A good example of non-native invasive plants is Japanese knotweed. The World Conservation Union lists this plant as one of the world’s worst invasive species, because it can grow through hard surfaces, such as roads and walls. In the UK, it is already causing massive damage to roads and affecting property values. Japanese knotweed originally came from Asia and grows naturally on the sides of volcanoes, where volcanic ash keeps it from spreading. It was introduced to the West by the botanist Philippe von Siebold, who sent it to the Royal Botanical Gardens Kew in August 1850 in a parcel of plants. The attractive plant, which reaches a height of three to four metres, was much admired and quickly became very popular with the Victorians. Garden centres sold it commercially and it was deliberately planted all over the UK. Since 1981 it has been a crime to plant or grow Japanese knotweed in the wild. This includes moving polluted soil or plant cuttings. If you are caught doing so, you can be fined or even sent to prison for up to two years.
It is not illegal to have this plant on your property, but you as the landowner have the legal responsibility to ensure that it does not spread to your neighbours’ land. Anyone wishing to sell a house with Japanese knotweed within seven metres of their property has a problem. Many banks will refuse to give potential buyers a loan and insurance companies will not bear the cost of damage caused by this plant. Additionally, neighbours could take legal action because their properties are also in danger indirectly.

Many banks will refuse to give potential buyers a loan and insurance companies will not bear the cost of damage caused by this plant. Additionally, neighbours could take legal action because their properties are also in danger indirectly. Japanese knotweed is incredibly difficult and expensive to remove. It grows very quickly and aggressively, with roots three metres deep and seven metres across. You can try and dig it out yourself, but because it spreads underground, it is almost impossible to ensure all the roots have been removed. Consequently, the plant will soon appear again. Also, this plant is classified as special waste, so you have to take it to a place that has permission to dispose of it, which may mean you have to pay a huge fee. Alternatively, the plant can be treated with a chemical weed killer. This takes about three years to be effective and is slightly cheaper than removing it manually. Considering the seriousness of the situation, professional help is the most effective and sensible way to solve the problem.
Another invasive species is the giant hogweed which comes from Central Asia. It was first introduced to European gardens in the middle of the 19th century because of its impressive white flowers which are grouped together on umbrellalike heads. It can have a height of up to five metres and grows at riversides and anywhere else where the soil is moist. The problem with this plant is the liquid inside it, known as the sap. If you come into contact with it, and are then exposed to sunlight, you will receive blistering burns that sometimes stay for several weeks and may well leave a scar. If you touch this plant, clean the skin area with lots of soap and water and then consult a doctor. The problem is that a victim, not being aware of the danger, does not notice anything is wrong until a few days later. And the biggest issue with this plant is that children are tempted to play with it due to its large leaves and exciting hollow stalks. There have been many cases of hospitalisation.
These are just two examples, but they have something in common. They started their invasion as a beautiful plant specimen brought home from a far-away country without anyone being aware of the consequences of this action. Due to today’s globalisation, we have a new responsibility: to protect location-specific environments and not move native plants from country to country.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Language Elements, Part 1
Read the following letter and decide which word or phrase a, b or c is missing in items 21–30.January 3rd
Dear Auntie Sam,
I hope you had a good Christmas and thank you very much for the money you sent me. I’m sure I’ll find good use it. While most other people thankfully me financial gifts too, I also received some rather strange gifts from Father Christmas and my parents, whose identities remain connected in some way. My little brother, who was not at all happy with his presents, decided all our gifts differently without telling us. He managed to eat an extra-large box of Belgian chocolates that wasn’t his before we could stop him.
I’m in my second year at university and the past term has been as before, except I have a different room. It’s slightly smaller than the last and I still don’t have my own shower, but at least it has proper heating and isn’t right to a noisy bar. Other than that, there was a university-wide strike the last week of term, but it didn’t really affect me. I hardly noticed it except there were loads of annoying emails from people asking for my support.
This Christmas break was a week shorter it usually is, and it really felt like it. All the essays I had to write, which took me ages to do, didn’t help either. there are things about the coming term I’m looking forward to, I think I still would have preferred the additional week of holiday.
Thanks again,
Lots of love
Roy

The Enigma Variations
Sir Edward William Elgar is a 19th century English composer known worldwide. Pomp and Circumstance, for example, is one of Elgar’s most famous pieces and one of Britain’s biggest cultural ___31 .
Elgar was born in 1857 in a village in ___32 England. His father had a music shop in Worcester and so Elgar had access to many different kinds of instruments and music. Surprisingly, he didn’t ___33 music college and was mainly a self-taught composer.
It was in 1899, when Elgar was 42, that he had his first big success with the Enigma Variations for orchestra. It came into being almost by chance. Elgar ___34 the evening when he sat down at the piano to play after dinner:* ”Suddenly my wife ___35 by saying: ‘Edward, that’s a good tune.’ I ___36 from my creative dream. ‘Tune? What tune?’ And she said, ‘Play it again, I like that tune.’ I played and strummed, and played, and then she exclaimed: ‘That’s the tune.’ My wife asked with a sound of ___37 , ‘What is that?’ I answered, ‘Nothing – but something might be made of it.’ ”
For fun, Elgar then ___38 with the tune, playing different versions. Each was typical of someone they knew. That was the beginning of the Enigma Variations, which he dedicated to his friends. For its title, each of the 14 parts has the ___39 of a person’s name. The word ‘enigma’ means something that is ___40 , and perhaps the puzzle hidden in the piece gives it that extra charm that has made it so popular.a)APPROVAL b)ATTEND c)AWOKE d)EDGE e)EXCEPTION f)EXPERIMENTED g)EXPORTS h)FAR i)FASHION j)INITIALS k)INTERRUPTED l)MYSTERIOUS m)PUBLICITY n)RECALLS o)RURAL
