move (18) faster than even that, perhaps as fast as 65 kilometres

For years, it was assumed that simple muscle power determined human

(19) factor appears to be how quickly the muscles can contract

and thus (20) the time a runner's foot is in contact with the ground

Is our athletic ability inherited? Researcher Alun Williams has (21)

Airports Because of the recent (0) 472*†th _¡n air travel, airports have become more

than ever before symbols of international importance They therefore have

to look good and are (25) designed by well-known architects In

addition to this, competition and customer demand mean that airports

generally have to have (26) facilities nowadays For instance,

there are (27) departure lounges, where passengers can wait

before their (28) takes off, luxurious restaurants, shopping areas

and banks Good road and rail (29) with nearby towns and cities

are also essential, with large numbers of people needing to get to and from

the airport quickly and efficiently

However, it is becoming (30) difficult to find land on which to

build airports One reason for this is that aircraft, despite (31)

in engine design, are still very (32) , and need a considerable

amount of space in which to land and take off This of course means

that (33) residential areas need to be avoided, so,

(34) , travellers often find that the airport they need to use might

be situated at an inconvenient distance from the city

best sports to choose It can increase the (25) of your bones, it is good

for your heart, and it can help with weight (26) You will soon begin

sort of person who enjoys a challenge, then you could consider making the

(28) to run a marathon — a race of approximately 42 kilometres

Experienced runners and sports (29) say you should make a point

of having a physical check-up with your doctor before you start training

Another (30) is that anyone who has an old back, knee or ankle

(31) should take extra care You should never use running shoes

which hurt your feet or which feel (32) after a long run It is a good

idea to start by running slowly for about twenty minutes three times a week

and (33) increase the number of kilometres you run You should find

running long (34) gets progressively easier, and after a time, you may

feel that even a marathon will be possible!

if you follow a (32) recipe, you can easily make pizza at home

ingredients you can add to that is almost infinite So, whether it is with

ham and anchovies, eggs and spinach, or mushrooms and onions, there

are countless ways of making a truly (34) pizza

Looking into the past

Some years ago, plans to build a shopping centre on a piece of land in

Glasgow were delayed when photographs taken from the air showed

that there were marks of ancient houses that had once stood on this

land Archaeologists found the photographs (0) and were

keen to carry out an (25) on the land They knew that once the

shopping centre was built, the archaeological (26) would be

hidden forever (27) , building work was due to start just a few

days after the (28) of the houses was made The archaeologists

wanted to delay the start of building work and held urgent (29)

with the (30) to request that the building work should not begin

immediately An agreement was reached and the archaeologists were

given eleven weeks to find out more about the houses before building

work began

They found that the houses had been made of wood and were circular

in shape They had (31) been surrounded by a deep ditch What

remained of the (32) was some holes in the ground where the

(33) of the houses had built a fence some two metres in height,

presumably to offer them some (34) from attack

trees The higher the (30) of these trees, the better the habitat

quality Koalas can eat (31) 350 grams of leaves a day However,

the leaves from the eucalyptus can be extremely (82) To

overcome this problem, the koala removes any (39) chemicals

from the leaves with the aid of a specially adapted digestive system As

the leaves are not a very good source of calories, energy (34) is

hours a day

With the (61) of its first cathedral in the seventh century, the

THE FUTURE OF TALL BUILDINGS

Architects responsible for the (0) of many skyscrapers believe

that a tall building must always have a certain minimum (56) but

that there is no limit to its absolute (57) This means that the

Engineers agree with this, but there is (58) over the best shape for

cylindrical designs have enjoyed some (60) in recent years, and

these are quite pleasing to the eye (61) , however, the ideal

shape is an ugly square with heavily rounded corners

modern living The (64) of these vertical villages would travel up

THE ABC OF COOKING

It’s a (0) idea for children to do some cooking at an early

age Generally (56) , most children can’t wait to help in the

kitchen and love getting involved in the (57) of their meals

They should be (58) to do so, and care should be taken to

(59) they enjoy the experience It is important to show them

how to do things (60) but they shouldn't be criticised too much

Although the finished result may not be quite to your (61) , the

young cook will undoubtedly find it quite the (62) food he or

she has ever eaten

Kitchens can, of course, be (63) places and so the absolute

(64) of keeping an eye on children at all times cannot be

emphasised too (65) Sharp knives, for example, should be

avoided until children are old enough to handle them safely

early result is Arnold the Alien, (63) by biologist, Dougal Dixon This

not very different from our own

Of course, your form needs to show that you have (63) in your

person you have to pretend to be at the interview Realism and (65) are

definitely the best approach
