Przeczytaj trzy listy o ważnych rodzinnych wydarzeniach. Do każdego pytania (4.1.–4.4.) dopasuj właściwą recenzję (A–C).
Wpisz rozwiązania do tabeli. Uwaga: jedna recenzja pasuje do dwóch pytań.

A

Hi Dan,
I’m sorry but I won’t be able to come to your party because my brother’s getting married. Everyone agrees that she’s
the best thing that happened to Ben. He’s trying hard to become more reliable but I’m worried that she won’t be able
to put up with him for more than a couple of years. Maybe I’m being unfair to him but, after all, I’ve shared a bedroom
with him for sixteen years so I know what he’s like. I hope I’m mistaken, though, because at last I’ll have a room to
myself!
Have a good party,
Stuart

B

Dear Mum and Dad,
Thanks for your letter but I think you’re wrong. I’m delighted that Seth has decided to marry Debbie. She may not be
very well-off or have a good education but she’s warm and caring and she’s got a heart of gold and that’s the most
important thing. I remember when I was friendly with her brother, Alex. Debbie and her mum and dad always made
me feel welcome. In my opinion, he should marry her now. He’s made up his mind. Nothing’s going to change the way
he feels.
Try to be positive!
James

C

Dear Tom,
I guess you’ve heard about Luke getting engaged. It was a complete shock to me. I hadn’t even met the girl before they
got engaged. I have no idea why they’re in so much of a hurry. We met Amanda last weekend. She’s very attractive but
I wasn’t taken in by the story she told us about why the wedding has to be in November. She kept glancing away as she
told me which made me suspicious. Oh well, there’s nothing we can do about it. I’m sure they’ll be very happy together.
Please write.
Love,
Mum

Who

THE LEGEND THAT MAKES US WONDER

Several years ago, I was travelling in the desert regions of North-West Africa. It was a difficult journey and, at one stage,
the car I was travelling in broke down in an inhospitable area. Fortunately, I was discovered by members of a local tribe
and taken to their village. 5.1.

______

They served a delicious feast, whether in my honour or one that they were already

planning to have, I couldn’t tell. Then, as night fell and the star Sirius lit up the sky, an ancient looking man appeared and
sat on the ground. Everyone fell silent and made a circle around him, anticipating what was to come.

For the next half an hour, we were told a great legend which has been, passed down from generation to generation for
thousands of years.

Many years ago, when the world was young, the Dogon people had been visited by the Nommos. 5.2.

______

On landing, they

had created a reservoir in the dusty desert and dived into it. They had then stayed with the Dogon tribe and had taught the
Dogons about life in the stars.

The Nommos informed the Dogon that the Earth went round the sun, many centuries before Galileo discovered the
same thing. 5.3.

______

However, there was, they said, a second star, a much smaller but incredibly heavy star. They also

mentioned a third, even more minute star.

5.4.

______

Perhaps that’s why they are so welcoming to strangers, hoping that I, or others, would be a Nommo.

On leaving Mali, I investigated the Nommo legend. Amazingly, Sirius B was discovered by astronomers in 1862 and, in 1995,
Sirius C became visible for the first time. So, where are the Nommos now and when will they return? I would love to be in
Mali when that happened.

A

They were amphibian type creatures who had arrived from the sky in a flaming vessel. According to the legend, they were
the first creatures created by the sky god, Amma.

B

There are similar legends in other nearby countries. One of the Ancient Egyptian’s gods was always shown as a mermaid.

C

The Nommo left when they had taught the Dogon what they could but promised to return, in human form, one day. The
Dogon are still waiting.

D

In addition, they told the Dogon about their own home, a planet in the solar system of Sirius. Sirius was their sun.

E

They called themselves the Dogon people and, with the help of an English-speaking member of the community, they told
me to make myself at home.

Tekst 1.

WHY IS SLEEP SO IMPORTANT?

When you feel ill, what is your first reaction? Do you go to the medicine cabinet at home and take a tablet or some
medicine? Do you immediately make an appointment to see the doctor hoping for a prescription that will provide a quick
return to health? Or do you stay in bed, close your eyes and go back to sleep hoping that, when you next wake up, you will
feel a little better? A lot of experts say that, in the case of colds or flu, the third option is usually the best.

The phrase ‘sleep is the best medicine’ is often true. Our bodies need rest to regain lost strength. But the saying has a
second meaning. Sleep is not only a good way to recover from an illness but it is an excellent way to prevent illnesses in the
first place, which, of course, is preferable.

Studies show that a lack of sleep makes the body’s immune system weaker. Most doctors recommend that we get between
six and a half and eight hours sleep a night. Unfortunately, for one reason or another, a lot of people make do with five
hours or even less. Teenagers need even more than adults. They aren’t being lazy when they stay in bed so long. They
need nine or even ten hours sleep a night to be at their best. Of course, regular hours are best so sleeping from four in the
morning until two in the afternoon at the weekend is not going to make anyone more healthy.

6.1. The text claims that

A

we should see a doctor if we can’t sleep.

B

it is not just how long we sleep but when that is important.

C

medicines are unnecessary for most illnesses.

D

both sleeping too much and too little are bad for us.

6.2. The writer doesn’t think that

A

both meanings of the phrase ‘Sleep is the best medicine’ are equally true.

B

prevention is better than cure.

C

doctors understand the importance of sleep.

D

teenagers often sleep longer than they need to.

Tekst 2.

OLIVER’S RETURN

For many days, Oliver remained insensible to all the goodness of his new friends. The sun rose and sank, and rose and sank
again, and many times after that; and still the boy lay stretched on his bed, hot with fever. Weak, and thin, and pale, he
awoke at last from what seemed to have been a long and troubled dream. Weakly raising himself in the bed, with his head
resting on his trembling arm, he looked anxiously around.

‘What room is this? Where have I been brought to?’ said Oliver. ‘This is not the place I went to sleep in.’

He uttered these words in a feeble voice, being very faint and weak; but they were overheard at once. A motherly old lady,
very neatly and precisely dressed, rose from an arm-chair close by, in which she had been sitting.

‘Hush, my dear,’ said the old lady softly. ‘You must be very quiet, or you will be ill again; and you have been very bad, as bad
as bad could be. Lie down again; there’s a dear!’ With those words, the old lady very gently placed Oliver’s head upon the
pillow. ‘Save us!’ she said, with tears in her eyes. ‘What would his mother feel if she had sat by him as I have, and could see
him now!’ ‘Perhaps she does see me,’ whispered Oliver, folding his hands together; ‘perhaps she has sat by me. I almost feel
as if she had.’

‘That was the fever, my dear,’ said the old lady mildly.

‘I suppose it was,’ replied Oliver, ’because heaven is a long way off; and they are too happy there, to come down to the bedside
of a poor boy. But if she knew I was ill, she must have pitied me, even there; for she was very ill herself before she died.

The old lady made no reply to this; but wiping her eyes, brought some cool stuff for Oliver to drink; and then, patting him on
the cheek, told him he must lie very quiet, or he would be ill again.

So, even after the lady had departed, Oliver kept very still; partly because he was anxious to obey the kind old lady in all
things; and partly, to tell the truth, because he was completely exhausted with what he had already said. He soon fell into
a gentle doze, from which he was awakened by the light of a candle: which, being brought near the bed, showed him a
gentleman with a very large and loud-ticking gold watch in his hand, who felt his pulse, and said he was a great deal better.
Oliver fell asleep once more. A deep, peaceful sleep that acted as a medicine for the boy.

It had been bright day, for hours, when Oliver opened his eyes; he felt cheerful and happy. The crisis of the disease was
safely past. He belonged to the world again.

Adapted from: Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist, Chapter 12,
