Stephen Aston, 29, is a motor home designer with MLC Motor Homes in North Wales. He is married and lives in Caernarfon.

Isn 7 a motor home a motor home - what more is there to design?

We built bespoke motor homes to individual customers' specifications.

What sort of specifications?

Quite a lot want a vehicle that can fit a car in the back, or a scooter for nipping to shops. Every one is unique, and sometimes you're trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.

Give an example of a square peg.

Fitting two racing cars in the back! We've done that by putting one above the other and designing an elaborate ramp system.

But fitting in the basics of accommodation you presumably cracked long ago?

No, sometimes it's still hard to fit it all in. We recently had an issue with an oven. We needed to position it at a certain height, but a flap-down door would have been dangerous, so we had to completely redesign the kitchen. Occasionally I wake up sweating at night if I'm stuck on a particular idea - it's usually how to fit cars in, but we were once asked if we could build one fitted with a helicopter.

And you dismissed it out of hand?

No. Though it made me laugh a bit, we did think about it, but it was just too big. There was no way round it.

Will there be a moment when you have done all you can with motor-home design?

I've done four years so far and there's been no repetition of design yet. At the Earl's Court Caravan and Outdoor Leisure Show this weekend, I'm going to be showing off our latest, most advanced motor home.

Задание АН.

BERLIN - Convicts in Berlin cannot decorate their cells with Christmas trees a court ruled Monday.

The city's highest legal authority overturned a decision by a lower court, which had granted a prisoner the right to deck out his cell with a tree of "no more than 50 centimetres in height (not including the tip)" during the festive season.

This prompted a protest by the prison's director, whose complaint was upheld by the higher body.

"The complaint correctly points out that the branches and trunk of the tree can easily be hollowed out and sealed with glue, which renders it extremely difficult to prevent the smuggling of drugs in this way," the court said.


Задание Al 2.

BUDAPEST - Stars may seem like a harmless symbol of Christmas goodwill - but in eastern Europe, if they're red, they may be anything but.

Hungarian shopper Istvan Hamza made a formal complaint to police that the star decorations in a record shop in the town of Szombathely were too much like the communist red star - banned by law as a symbol of decades of dictatorship.

But the police let Christmas charity prevail.

"The shop's red stars are an irregular shape and their branches are not pointed but rounded, so they do not meet the specification set out in the law," spokesman Peter Kovacs said Monday, according to the local news agency MTI.


Задание A13.

MANILA (Reuters) - What's in a name? Plenty for collectors driving up the price of a small number of Philippine 100-peso bills with the president's name misspelled.

The notes, worth about $1.87, are legal tender but their relative rarity attracted starting bids of $9.99 each in a sale of four of them on Internet auction site ссылка скрыта due to end later Tuesday.

The central bank said in November an "insignificant" number of the bills -with President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's last name spelled "Arrovo" with a "v" - were released.

Demand is outpacing supply.

Задание Al4.

Ту England, who scored a hit in 1995 with "Should've Asked Her Faster," has released a new single, "Redneck Anthem," on Oklahoma-based Triple T Records. "I think most country music fans are proud that they have a little bit of redneck on the family tree, and this song is tailor-made for them all," said England. Formerly Garth Brooks' college roommate and tour guitarist, England has lately been active on the USO circuit.


Задание Al5.

A court in the US has ruled against the teaching of "intelligent design" alongside Darwin's theory of evolution.

A group of parents in the Pennsylvania town of Dover had taken the school board to court for demanding biology classes not teach evolution as fact.

The authorities wanted to introduce the idea that Earth's life was too complicated to have evolved on its own.

Judge John Jones ruled the school board had violated the constitutional ban on teaching religion in public schools.

Текст № 1

Dr. Franklin of Harley Street

A year ago, when I was still quite a kid, I had food poisoning. That's what I had (as I had tried to examine myself at home) - but that's not what the doctors told me. Judging by what they said I had almost everything except food poisoning. Believe me, I'm not inventing anything. When the local doctor gave me up, I went to hospital on the national health, where at least three of them examined me, gave me pills and injections and sent me away as cured, exactly as before. For days I was in great pain. I ran temperatures and was sick almost hourly. I was beginning to get really frightened.

Then I had an idea Everybody knows that Harley Street is where the best doctors practise their trade. I went there one day. I decided that I'd choose the same street number as the day it happened to be and ring the bell, and see what happened. The trouble was there turned out to be six bells; so, without hesitation I rang them all. If you don't believe this story, remember that I was drunk with fever and just didn't care what happened. I'd come there with one purpose - to reach somebody who knew what the matter was. Well, the six bells were all answered by the same person: a sort of nurse-secretary, and before I had time to make any inquiries, I collapsed in the hall.

When I came round I saw a tall, intelligent-looking young man, who asked me to tell him all about my trouble, which I did. He gave me an hour's examination, and then said, "Well, I don't know what's the matter with you, but we must find out."

I can't tell you how these words of Doctor Franklin impressed me and how my heart filled with respect for him. Because all the other doctors said they knew what the matter was, but Dr. Franklin of Harley Street said he didn't know. He got an ambulance and placed me inside one of those eighty-a-week clinics where they pierce your earlobes*, or change your sex for you, for three-figure fees - all without any mention of who was going to pay or on what terms I was going to be kept there.

To cut a long story short, he found there was an abscess, and pierced it, and down went the temperature, and that was that. Dr. Franklin insisted that I should stay another week inside the clinic. Every day he would drop in to say "Hi," and he always treated me in front of the nurses as if I were a cabinet minister or someone -1 mean he was so wonderfully polite. I really think he had the nicest manners I have ever seen in anyone and, I shan't forget it.

But on the day I was to go home, he did not turn up at all, and so I didn't have a chance to thank him, or to raise the question of how to pay for my stay in the clinic. I wrote him, of course, but though he answered very nicely, he didn't mention the money. So I did this. While I was in the place, I took pictures with my Rolleiflex of nurses and patients, and some of them were really funny. So I picked out the best, made enlargements, put them in an album, and dropped it in at Harley Street, and he wrote back and said, if ever I got into the clinic again, which he sincerely hoped I wouldn't, he'd confiscate my Rolleiflex first.

Текст № 2

A national talent search is being planned to track the brightest 150,000 children through school and into top universities.

Thirty thousand children will be invited each year to join the Government's National Academy of Gifted and Talented Youth, using results from primary school tests taken by 11-year-olds.

The initiative comes as teachers were accused of being ideologically opposed to singling out gifted children for special help after it emerged that 40 per cent of secondary schools had never recommended any child to attend the academy.

The talent search is certain to anger Labour MPs, who are already threatening to rebel against Tony Blair's education White Paper over what they see as plans to introduce backdoor selection to secondary schools. Members of the Russell Group of leading universities would be given the names of pupils who were members of the academy so that they could recruit them to degree courses.

Advocates say that this would end the imbalance at Oxford, Cambridge and other elite universities between students from state and fee-paying schools. Critics will see it as a renewed attempt at social engineering by giving state students a head start in the race for university places.

The initiative comes after The Times published research by Professor David Jesson, of the University of York, who found that the brightest 5 per cent students were only half as likely to achieve three A grades at A level in state schools as in the fee-paying sector.

Under the new scheme, promising children in state schools would be tracked from the age of 11 and those who fulfil their academic promise in GCSE examinations at 16 would be approached by admissions officers from Russell Group universities in their first year of sixth form.

Officials at the academy, which is based at the University of Warwick, are in discussions about the scheme with the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust (SSAT) and the Department for Education and Skills. They expect to recruit the first children under the scheme in September.

A45. According to the text, bright young people will be admitted to the National Academy of Gifted and Talented Youth ...
  1. without passing any school tests.
  2. before they finish secondary school.
  3. if their teachers allow them to.
  4. if they show excellent results at primary school.

A46. According to the text, teachers did not...
  1. encourage bright students to join the academy.
  2. say that many weak pupils needed special help.
  3. inform bright students that they had been invited to join the academy.
  4. realize that 40% of their students were gifted.

A47. Supporters of the talent-search initiative claim that...
  1. it will introduce a "back-door" selection to secondary schools.
  2. it will allow children from state schools to get to leading universities.
  3. it will create an imbalance at Oxford and Cambridge between students from state and fee-paying schools.
  4. it will be a social engineering project.

A48. The research carried out by Professor David Jesson revealed that...
  1. only half of bright children get to good schools.
  2. only 5 per cent of bright children get the necessary support from the state.
  3. bright children have more chances to succeed in fee-paying schools than in state schools.
  4. bright children usually have poor results at A-level exams.

A49. According to the text, what will happen to promising students in the sixth form?
  1. They will be interviewed by representatives of leading universities.
  2. They will get a chance to take GCSE exams one more time.
  3. They will be admitted to Oxford or Cambridge without further tests.
  4. They will have the right to leave school at the age of 16.

А50. Who criticizes the talent search initiative?

1) Professor Jesson. 2) Tony Blair.

3) The leading universities. 4) Labour MPs.

Britain's three leading ladies on the Oscar trail

Текст № 1

On Time

Laura was the first person to take a seat in the Pullman. It was always that way with Laura. Whether for a train, a dentist appointment, the theatre, a dinner-party, Laura was always punctual. In her home town, her friends would look out of their windows, and seeing Laura on her way to a luncheon or other meeting, they would say, "We have plenty of time. Laura's just leaving." Her punctuality meant that she often had to wait for people. In fact, some time ago, she had been kept waiting a very long time. And now here was the man who had made her wait, taking his seat at the other end of the car.

After ten years, she still knew him before she saw his face. She was annoyed with herself because the sight of him made her realize that she still cared. Just in time she pretended to shade her eyes with her hand as he turned around before sitting down.

The train started. Frank was deep in his paper and a dozen Pullman chairs away from him. Laura was left with her memory of an afternoon a decade ago, an afternoon when she had waited, and waited alone. He had arranged to meet her at Luigi's. He had chosen the place with great care, it was a place where no one knew her. "I'll telephone them to expect you, and you go straight through the bar to the last booth. You won't know anybody, but just in case."

When she went into the place, the owner seemed to recognize her. "Yes, lady, you are meeting Mr. Hillman. Right this way, please." He led her to the booth, took her order for the first drink. She had left her bags in the front of the restaurant, and there was not the slightest doubt in her mind that the owner knew what was going on. He was very polite, very attentive as though every afternoon at four, he greeted young women who were walking out on their husbands because they had fallen madly in love with someone else.

There was admiration but no disrespect in his eyes as he brought her the first drink. The admiration gave way to pity after she had waited two hours and had taken her sixth drink. Then she went home. Frank had tried to get in touch with her, but all his attempts were unsuccessful because she had never replied.

"Would you like to have lunch with me in the dining car?" Frank was standing over her with his easy charming smile.

"Why, Frank." she said, pleased that she did not sound as frightened as she felt. "Why, yes, thanks." She got up and they went to the diner. They did not speak until they had ordered. She hoped that the years had changed her as little as they had him. He was still very handsome.

"I'm very pleased," he said.

"Why? At what?"

"That you speak to me. For ten years I've wanted to tell you about that awful day. I know you think I should at least have telephoned, but you never gave me a chance to tell you what happened. Do you know what happened?"

"What happened, Frank?"

"I met with an accident on my way to Luigi's, I was run down by a taxi. When I woke up in the hospital it was too late to call you even if I could have got out of bed, which I didn't for nearly three months."

"Really?" she said.

"And of course there was no one I could ask to phone you. No one else knew."

All at once she saw a way to wipe out the humiliation of those ten years and that one afternoon. "Frank, I've got to tell you something. I wasn't there." She looked at him and, she knew, convincingly.

"What?"

"I never went to the place. I did come to New York. I was going to meet you, but at the last minute I was afraid."

"But, Laura," he said," when I got out of the hospital, I asked Luigi. He said yes, he remembered a lady waiting for me."

"It wasn't 1.1 just couldn't do it. I couldn't walk out on Bob that way. Then when I went home I was ashamed for being such a coward. That's why I never returned your calls. I was too cowardly."

"You weren't there." He said in a flat voice. "I can't believe it. I can't believe it."

"It worked out better this way," she said. She was heartless, cruel, but she got some comfort out of what she had said.

"Well, I suppose so," he said. He was taking it very well. He couldn't have her see what a hard blow it was for him. "Punctual Laura, on the one occasion when you really should have been on time, you didn't turn up at all."

"Well, better never than late, as they say," she said sweetly.

The minimum age for buying tobacco could be raised from 16 to 18 under plans being considered by Patricia Hewitt, the Health Secretary.

Ministers are examining placing the sale of cigarettes on the same legal footing as alcohol, as a means of reducing teenage smoking, the Department of Health confirmed yesterday.

The move would bring Britain into line with most of the United States and Europe, where smoking is legal only from the age of 18. Spain recently became the latest country to raise the minimum age to 18.

The Government also hopes that toughening the law on teenage smoking would appease anti-tobacco campaigners who have attacked its compromise on the proposed ban on smoking in public places.

Sir Liam Donaldson, the Chief Medical Officer, said last month that he had considered resigning when ministers rejected his recommendation for a total ban, in favour of an exemption for pubs in which food is not served.

Firm proposals for raising the minimum age have yet to be fixed, but ministers are sympathetic to accepting an amendment to the Health Bill, which will implement the partial ban on smoking in the workplace.

Jeff Ennis, a Labour MP who has drawn up a Private Member's Bill to raise the legal age for tobacco sales, said he was planning to introduce such an amendment next month.

About one in four 16 and 17-year-olds is estimated to smoke regularly, and up to 60 per cent of 16-year-olds are thought to have tried cigarettes. The tobacco industry makes £35 million a year in Britain from teenage smokers.

The present minimum age of 16 was introduced in 1908, and there is widespread support for change. A higher age is backed by trading standards officers, who say it would make it easier to prosecute retailers who break the law, and by schools, who are unable to prevent older pupils from buying cigarettes.

An ICM poll conducted last year also found the public was supportive, with 55 per cent favouring a rise to 21, well beyond the limit the Government is prepared to consider.

Mr Ennis said there was good evidence that raising the age to 18 would reduce teenage smoking. "There's evidence from places like Guernsey, where they raised the age to 18 in 1997, he said on Sunday with Adam Boulton on Sky News. At that time the level of smoking among young children was exactly the same in Guernsey as in the rest of the UK. It's now half the level."

The move was welcomed by anti-tobacco groups, though they said the measure should not divert attention from the case for a total ban on smoking in public places.

Deborah Arnott, director of Action on Smoking and Health, said: "We do not oppose raising the age of sales; but it won't have a big impact unless it is combined with a wider policy to make smoking a less desirable activity. The best way to do this is a smoking ban in the workplace and all enclosed public places. The Government won't be able to buy off Labour MPs by making these concessions."

The smokers' rights group Forest said it would not oppose raising the legal age for buying tobacco. Simon Clark, its director, said: "In principle we won't have a problem if they raise the age to 18. Smoking should be an adult activity. Anything that can discourage children from smoking has to be a good thing. The problem is implementation."

A45. According to the article, the British government is planning to ...
  1. forbid teenagers under 16 to buy tobacco and alcohol.
  2. allow teenagers to smoke in places where alcohol is not sold.
  3. increase the age under which smoking will be illegal.
  4. create new rules for buying alcohol for teenagers under 18.

A46. The British governments expects that the change of the law on teenage smoking will...
  1. make some European countries toughen smoking laws.
  2. help to find compromise with anti-tobacco campaigners.
  3. stop smoking in public places.
  4. totally ban smoking in Great Britain.

A47. According to Liam Donaldson, members of the government did not agree to ...
  1. allow him to resign from the post of the Chief Medical Officer.
  2. accept an amendment to the Health Bill.
  3. ban smoking in public places.
  4. allow smoking in pubs where food is not served.

A48. Who would not benefit from the raise of the legal age of tobacco sales?
1) MPs and government ministers. 2) Schools.
3) Trading standards officers. 4) The tobacco industry.

A49. According to the text, the majority of people in Great Britain support the
raise of the legal age of tobacco sales up to ...
1) 16 years old. 2) 17 years old.

3) 18 years old. 4) 21 years old.

  1. ban smoking in the workplace.
  2. make smoking a less desirable activity.
  3. implement the new law on teenage smoking.
  4. make Labour MPs accept the new law on teenage smoking.

ВО Although London is the most of expensive place to study, it is also the BOO most cost-effective, a survey published today shows. Living in London

В1. costs the average to student £243 a week (£7,290 over an academic year).

B2. But he or she earns an average of £150 a week. St Andrews, by contrast,

B3. is the cheapest of the 24 university towns surveyed, with living costs of

B4. £190 a week. However, average from earnings in term time are just £63

B5. a week, making it £34 a week more expensive than was London. One

B6. reason, the survey says, is that London offers more opportunities than

B7. anywhere else to work behind a bar, in a clothes shop too or for a

В8. marketing company, which are students' most popular choices. Another

B9. is that the average hourly rate of pay in London is £8.67, being compared
