The Euro exams test communicative competence by testing success in real communication; TheExam tasks are directlY based on the Common Euroiean Fiamework oí Reference for Languagesissued bY the Council of Europe, Passing a Euro exam indicates that the candidate can undertake avarietY of rea|-liÍe tasks in English. tn the Euro exams we test language skills and systems together- there are no separate oral and written examinations.
ManY of the tasks - just like the use of language in rea|-|ife situations - require the simultaneous useof various sPeaking-listening and writing-reading sub-skills. For this reason candidates cannot takethe tests seParatelY. ln the assessment of writing and speaking, accuracy is of course tested, butmore weight is given tO the candidate's ability to convey a message clearly and appropriately withoutomitting any relevant details, This integrated-skills and task_baséo appróach is in line witÁ currentviews and standards throughout EuropÖ.
ln order to pass candidates are expected to achieve 65% of the total marks available, as well asobtaining at least 4O% oÍ the marks in each individual test, These thresholds,will vary slightlybetween examinations depending of the difíiculty oí the tasks,

The Isle of Man
Situated midway between England, and lreland, the Isle of Man is a sleepyhaven of peace and tranquillity. The island also has something for lovers ofthe fast-paced too, hosting the world famous Tourist Trophy motorcycleraces and other motor sport events for which the island is internationallyrenowned.
Example: Paragraph "D" is the best heading
6. 600 miles of uncluttered road,s criss-cross breathtaking scenery as do manywe}l-maintained footpaths. As well as enjoying a wide range of countrypursuits oí sea sports, visitors can go back to another era by experiencingone of the Isle of Man's vintage transport systems - steam railway, electrictram or horse tram.
T. The island's history dates back more than 10,000 years. In 1997 a new §6million heritage centre, the House of Manannan, opened in Peel, on theIsland's west coast. It provides information about a variety of historicalsights ranging from Celtic monuments to the best preserved medievalfortress in Britain - Castle Rushen. A]l these sights are accessible to tourists.
8. The Isle of Man was also the birthplace of the Royal National LifeboatInstitution. Sir William Hillary, the founder, got his idea for the senrice aftermoving to the Island in 1808. From his Fort Anne mansion overlookingDouglas Bay, he was aware of the treacherous nature of the Irish Sea withmany boats being wrecked around the Island's coast. He drew up plans fora lifeboat service run by trained crews.
g. Initialty he received little response from the Admiralty but on appealing to
the more philanthropic members of tondon society, the plans Were
enthusiastically adopted and the Royal National Lifeboat Institution for thepreservation ot Lifg from Shipwrect 1*r,i"r, later became the RNLI) wasfounded tn1824,
l0.At the age of 60, Sir William took part in the rescue of the Royal Mail Steampacket St. George, which foundered on Conister Rock at the entrance to
Douglas harbour, He command,ed the lifeboat and everyone aboard the St
George was rescued with no loss of life. The experience prompted him tobuitd the Tower of Refuge on Conister Rock. Completed in 1832, the towerprovided shelter for shipwrecked mariners until the lifeboat could reachthem. Until recently, the tower was constantly kept supplied with fresh
bread and water.
tl.The Isle of Man is ideally placed for yachtsmen to visit en route from
Scotland or lreland, and take shelter in one of the Isle of Man's PrettYharbours. However, there is easy access by air oí sea. Major carriers are:
The Isle of Man Steam Packet Company which operates passenger andferries between the ports of Douglas and Heysham/Liverpool. and ManxAirlines, which operates regular flights from many UK airports includingHeathrow, Luton, Liverpool, as well as Dublin.

Iris Murdoch & John Bayley
A libertine spirit with a brilliant mind, Iris Murdochwas a woman ahead of her time: philosopher, authorof 26 novels, and winner of the prestigious literaryBooker Prize, She also had a sensual, spellbindingpresence that cast a powerful spell on everybody whomet her, including her husband, Oxford professorand writer John Bayley. They were together íor 43
years.
They lived in Oxford in a famously chaotichousehold. He did the cooking, she did the shopping, and in addition to their |iterary and academic
pursuits, they were enthusiastic travellers, dance partners, poker play'ers-and, above all, swimmers.They never had any children, and while she had affairs that Bayley tolerated, it was by all accounts, a
supremely h^ppy union of two scholars.

Paul Newman & Joanne '§íoodward
In Hollywood, a town where marriages fade faster than a bad movie, actors Paul Newman and
Joanne §7oodward are as famous for their marital success as for their Oscars. How have theymanaged to stay together íor 44 years?
It probably helps that they live in Connecticut, not in fantasyland. They also share a profession,
three grown children and an interest in philanthropy. Even the stars favour this glamorous couple.
"You stimulate each other's intellect," says a §íeb astrologer, looking ovef the couple's 2002
horoscopes. "You challenge each other's world view. At times you may read each other's minds and
finish each other's sentences. You can be a mentally and technically creative team."
Newman and §floodward also sponsor the Sazle tbe Children foster parent campaign and a camp for
children with life-threatening illnesses. In 1982Newman set up a multimillion-dollar corPoration that
markets everything from popcorn to spaghetti sauce. All profits go to charity.
Text C:

In an extravagant, fairy-tale wedding attended by lots of celebrity frie|ds, Sting, the world-renowned
singer ,rrd ,oirg*riter, married his iong-time love, Trudie Styler, an actress and film Producer. This
1992 ceremony not only celebrated the couple's ten years together, but also their three children
(they've since had a fourth) and their collaborative work for environmental causes.
Born Gordon Sumner in 1951 into a working class family in Newcastle, England, Sting got his name

vivacious Úto"j Styler. Born in England in 1955, Trudie had run away from home at age t7 with
dreams of becoming an actress. She went on to attend the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and has

Task Four: Reading for detailed information (l0 minutes)- Questions t9_25
o Read the foltowing text about smoking and answer the multipte-choicequestions.
By Caren Benjamin
Nobody smokes in Catherine Nagle's house. Nobody. When smokers come to visit, she hands them anashtray and tells them to step outside if they want to have a cigarette. She won't even make anexception for her mothpr-in-law - though her husband made her break the news.
Nagle believes the fact that her 16-year-old son doesn't smoke, despite typical teenage peer pressure, isthanks largely to the household's total smoking ban. "I think the fact that we won't let his grandmotheror aunts or,uncles smoke in the house shows how firmly we believe that smoking is bad," she says."He sees that we think it's wrong for adults to do it so he won't think'it's something I can do when Iget to be l8 when it's legal."'
A study in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggests she is on the right track, Thestudy found that a total ban on smoking in the home is the most effective way to keep teenagers frompicking up the habit. Whether or not parents smoke is still the most important factor, but the JAMAstudy found children of non-smoking parents who let other people smoke in their home are almost aslikely to become smokers as kids from homes where at least one parent smokes and there is a totalban.
Ideally, the home smoking ban should be in place when your child is born. Aside from the obvioushealth reasons, there are good sociological reasons for this. If you've got young children, then usuallyit's not difficult for parents to ask relatives not to smoke in the house. Grandparents, uncles and friendsthink that's a right that parents have. By the time the child is 15 or 17, it's a much harder sell, in fact bythat age it's probably not worth the fight.
Even in a household where one parent smokes, a total ban can still be very effective, If muln makesdad smoke on the porch, and dad agrees to do so, that's a pretty significant message to kids about thedangers of smoking and about the fact that even the adult smoker knows the behaviour is dangerous.
As an added bonus, for smokers who are forced outside their homes to smoke, the habit becomessomething they have to consciously clroose to do. They think to themselves "'.Do I want to get up andhave a cigarette, or do I want to stay here and finish watclring this TV show?" As often as not, theyclroose the TV show. As nicotine consumption decreases, so does addiction level, eventually making iteasier for tlte parent to quit smoking.

study shows rats dream about running mazes
Researchers say they have entered the dreamsof rats and found them running through thesame lab mazes they negotiate during the day.It is evidence not just that animals dream, butthat they replay events much the way humansdo, and they may use their dreams to learn ormemorise.
The findings could evenfually help researchers understand how the humanmind works. "It's really opening a new door into the study of dreams,'' saidprofessor Matt Wilson, leader of the study.
But Robert Stickgold, Professor of Psychiatry, said there is no way to proveresearchers Were seeing rats dream, "If a rat could tell us, 'YeS, i *u,dreaming about running around the track,'then we'd have it nailed down.''
The scientists had the rats perform specific tasks in a maze that producedvery distinctive patterns of brain activity. When they repeatedly saw almostexactly the same patterns reproduced during sleep, they concluded the ratswere dreaming about running through the maze.
The discovery of similarities between human and animal dreams could helpscientists to use the rats to learn more about the human mind. scientisticould manipulate the rats' experiences in a way that is not permissible withpeople.
