Reading comprehension: (2m) Last year Nam went to Nepal for three months to work in a hospital. When the hospital let him have a few days' holiday, he decided to go into the jungle and he asked a Nepalese guide, Kamal Rai, to go with him. In the jungle there was a lot of wildlife, but they were trying to find big cats, especially tigers. They climbed onto the elephants' backs to get better view, but it is unusual to find tigers in the afternoon because they sleep in the heat of the day. Then, in the distance, they saw a tiger, and Kamal told him to be very quiet. They crept nearer and found a dead deer, still bleeding. This was the tiger's lunch! Suddenly, Nam started to feel very frightened. They heard the tiger a second before they saw it. It jumped out like a flash of lightning, five hundred kilos plus and four meters long. Nam looked into its eyes and face, and saw right down the animal's throat. It grabbed Kamal's body between its teeth, but Nam managed to pull Kamal away. One of our elephants ran at the tiger and made it go back into the grass, so they quickly escaped to let the tiger eat its lunch. That night it was impossible to sleep! 1.

For example, a journalist who lives in a remote part of the world still gets in his articles on time for the next day's newspapers. The Internet allows businesses to communicate with customers and workers in any part of the world for the cost of a local telephone call. E. mail allows users to send documents, pictures and other data from one part of the world to another in at least 5 minutes. New computer programs allow two users in different parts of the world to work on the same document at the same time. The Internet is providing a lot of new business opportunities. Some businesses are advertising their products on the Internet - finding new customers and making more job opportunities. People can use the Internet to do shopping. This saves a lot of time. It is possible to use the Internet for education - students may connect with their teachers from home to send or receive e. mail or talk a problem through "on-line" rather than attend a class. 1.
