Girl: a  I’m a team player b  I prefer my own company Boy: 5 You need to cross a frozen river It’s six metres wide and the ice is 20 centimetres thick It’s a 20-minute walk to a bridge What you do? Girl: a  I walk across the ice b  I cross the bridge Boy: Read the analysis of the questionnaire and cross off the extreme sports on the list that aren’t right for you Girl: Choosing the right extreme sport is often a process of elimination If you don’t like heights then don’t choose base jumping or other sports that involve heights If swimming isn’t your cup of tea then bodysurfing and free diving are not good choices It’s important to know how much physical exercise you’re prepared to If you usually run a mile from anything that involves exercise, don’t try sports that involve physical effort such as free running If you don’t like using lifts because you don’t feel safe, then a sport that relies on equipment such as rock climbing is a lost cause This page has been downloaded from www.macmillanbeyond.com © Macmillan Publishers Limited 2015 This sheet may be photocopied and used within the class B1+ CLASS AUDIO SCRIPT UNIT BE EXTREME! Other people are often required in extreme sports and you need to trust the people you’re with If you think working with other people can be a pain in the neck, choose sports like skateboarding or windsurfing that don’t involve them Finally, there’s the risk factor All extreme sports involve an element of risk, but how much risk are you prepared to take? Remember – don’t bite off more than you can chew Which extreme sports are left on your list? Choose the one you’d like to try If you’ve crossed out all the sports, you can always try extreme ironing Unit 1, Page 9, Exercise Glen: Linda: Glen: Linda: Glen: Linda: Track 1.07 / Bey_B1plus_U01_009_1.07 Jeff: Welcome to the final of the Wheelchair Basketball National Junior Championship at the Stoke Mandeville Stadium Players from both teams are making final preparations and Claire Walden is sitting next to me Wheelchair basketball is often described as a tough sport Who you think is the stronger team, Claire?

The basketball team is normally picked around now How you feel about it? I think it’s exciting Unit 1, Page 10, Exercises 2b and 2c Glen: Linda: That’s right Believe it or not, Jordan climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa when he was just 10 years old And then he reached the top of Mount Everest, the world’s highest mountain, when he was 13 Wow! So anyway on December 24, 2011, at the age of 15, he did it, or to quote his actual words: ‘I DID IT.’ He’d reached the summit of Mount Vinson Massif on the continent of Antarctica and had achieved his dream of climbing the seven summits of the world It’s an amazing story, but it raises some issues I agree Like – is it right for teenagers as young as Jordan to risk their lives by taking up such an extreme challenge? How prepared is a teenager both physically and mentally to attempt to something like that? I think Jordan was probably very aware of the problems he’d come up against Before climbing Everest he’d trained for months Apart from the problems you normally encounter when you climb a mountain, there’s very little oxygen at the top of Everest so it’s extremely hard to breathe He had to be prepared And mentally? Jordan said that the toughest challenge he’d had to face was being away from home for so long OK So that brings me to another question What role parents play in all of this? I remember cases in which parents were criticised for allowing their kids to set out on adventures like this Jordan was always supported by his family And his team of climbers included his father, Paul Romero, who was trained in emergency medicine In one interview, Jordan said that the main reason they’d been so successful was because they didn’t take risks But I have another question that relates back to the title of this segment What happens when you fulfil your dreams and ambitions at the age of 15? What you with the rest of your life? Good question OK So we’re waiting to hear from you, dear listener You can join in the discussion by phone, text or social media and tell us what you think Track 1.09 / Bey_B1plus_U01_010_1.09 Unit 1, Page 10, Exercise Linda: Track 1.10 / Bey_B1plus_U01_010_1.10 Glen: Linda: Hi So we’re calling the next segment ‘I Did It’ Do you want to explain, Glen? Yes I was searching the web as part of my research for today’s topic when I came across Jordan Romero’s website Now, if I remember correctly, Jordan Romero was the American teenager who achieved fame when he climbed the highest mountains on each of the seven continents Girl:  Jordan Romero achieved his dream while he was still a teenager Boy:  He reached the top of some of the world’s highest mountains Girl:  Some critics say it’s wrong for young people to risk their lives in this way 4 Boy:  But according to Jordan, he was successful because he never took risks This page has been downloaded from www.macmillanbeyond.com © Macmillan Publishers Limited 2015 This sheet may be photocopied and used within the class B1+ CLASS AUDIO SCRIPT UNIT BE EXTREME! 5 Girl:  It’s normal to encounter problems when you’re attempting a difficult task 6 Boy:  You might have to face your fears, but with the right people to help you, you’ll be able to overcome obstacles blocking your way 7 Girl:  In recent years, Jordan’s helped other young people fulfil their potential 8 Boy:  He’s encouraged them to take up the challenge to find their own Everest Unit 1, Page 10, Exercise Track 1.11 / Bey_B1plus_U01_010_1.11 Boy: achieve a dream, achieve an ambition, achieve fame Girl: attempt a difficult task, attempt to something Boy: encounter a problem, encounter difficulties Girl: face your fears, face a challenge, face difficulties Boy: fulfil your potential, fulfil a dream, fulfil an ambition Girl: overcome obstacles, overcome difficulties, overcome problems Boy: reach the top, reach the summit, reach your goal Girl: risk everything, risk your life Boy: take a risk, take a chance Girl: take up a challenge, take up an offer, take up an invitation Unit 1, Page 13, Exercise 4b Track 1.13 / Bey_B1plus_U01_013_1.13 1 Nora: Are you interested in rock climbing? 2 Nora: Did you know the members of the sports centre get a discount? 3 Tom: That reminds me, I need to buy any equipment? 4 Tom: Talking of prices, how much does it cost? 5 Nora: Oh look!

The case against, by Jirka M Jirka: If you’re reading this, you’re probably worried about online privacy After all, many of the things you’ve heard are scary Your favourite sites track your browsing habits, even when you log out And some have sold information about you to companies that want to sell their products to you But I would argue that makes browsing a better experience Because your web browser knows your habits, it can show the search results that you really want to see And while you’re online, you only see ads for products that really interest you More importantly, perhaps, it also explains why the internet has remained free If internet companies couldn’t sell information and advertising space, they would have to charge for using their sites If they did that, fewer people would use them, and your social network would suddenly be much smaller Isn’t losing some of your privacy a small price to pay for a free internet? Narrator: The case for, by Maria B Maria: Before I make my case, let me say that I’m not against the internet On the contrary, I love using the net, and think it’s probably the greatest gift that technology has ever given us But I think the issue of privacy gives it a dark side too For example, somewhere on the net there’s a record of every site you’ve ever visited, and of every email or message you’ve sent since you first went online And the sites you use to search for information and stay Carol: I haven’t seen that phone before How long have you had it?

We think something must be done to stop our school selling junk food as snacks; things like chocolate bars, crisps and fizzy drinks We think healthy options such as fruit, packets of baby carrots and mineral water should be made available instead We also think shops and stalls around our school should be stopped from selling junk food to schoolchildren Here are seven reasons why junk food should be banned It’s high in calories All over the world, people are eating more junk food and fewer traditional meals As a result, obesity is now a global problem That’s bad because serious health problems like diabetes can be caused by obesity Mo: Unit 9, Page 97, Exercise 3c Track 3.18 / Bey_B1plus_U09_097_3.18 Sue: I don’t think animals should be killed for their meat Also, some serious illnesses can be caused by eating meat, so it’s unhealthy Eating meat’s a waste of food too The animals we eat must be given food That food could be grown for us to eat instead If we did that, enough food would be produced to feed everyone in the world Sue: Also, you never know what chemicals an animal might have been given to make it grow faster, and its meat may have been changed by those chemicals Antibiotics could have been added to its diet too And millions of trees have been cut down for fields If hamburgers hadn’t become so popular, some of those trees would have been saved I think everyone should have been told about this It’s full of empty calories as it fills you up but doesn’t give you any of the vitamins and minerals your body needs every day to grow and stay healthy It contains lots of the bad fat that can block your arteries Doctors have seen the first signs of heart disease in primary school children who eat too much junk food It’s often full of sugar A can of cola contains around 35 g of sugar, or nine teaspoons That’s the maximum amount of sugar that should be added to a teenager’s diet in a day Some snacks contain lots of salt, which can give you high blood pressure And high blood pressure can harm your heart One small bag of crisps contains 0.5 g, and you’re not meant to eat more than 1.5 g a day Look! I’ve decided to get a healthy snack This bread must have been made with about ten different whole grains! It looks healthy, but a lot of salt could have been added Some bread contains more salt per slice than a small bag of crisps That’s why all food should be labelled properly But even if they’d put a label on it, I’m sure I would’ve been confused by the information Healthy eating’s a lot harder than I’d imagined!

What are you doing in 15 years’ time? If you don’t have any plans and you enjoy travel and adventure, you might want to consider a trip to Mars The man who’s going to get you there is Elon Musk, the billionaire founder and CEO of SpaceX, the private spaceflight company Musk wants to start a colony on ‘the Red Planet’ To this, he’s initially going to send a small group of around ten people there They’ll take equipment to create oxygen from the planet’s atmosphere, which mostly consists of carbon dioxide They’ll also build transparent domes where they’ll be able to grow crops and start farming the planet’s surface Once a self-sufficient base has been established, spacecraft will transport up to 80,000 people to live on Mars Unfortunately, if you want to be one of these new space pioneers you’ll have to start saving now According to Musk, a ticket to Mars will cost $500,000 Musk calculates that there will be eight billion humans on planet Earth by the time the colonisation starts and possibly one person in 100,000 would be prepared to go Consequently, if all 80,000 colonists pay for their seat, $40 billion will be raised This will cover the $36 billion the project is likely to cost As long as he can develop reusable rockets to make the six-month journey to and from Mars, Musk believes he’ll be able to make the project profitable What are you doing this summer? I’m flying to Mars with my sister The flight leaves next Tuesday I’m really excited What are you going to on Mars? According to my space travel app, the weather’s going to be really good so we’ll definitely climb Olympus Mons and we’ll probably visit Phobos and Deimos I’ll call you when we get there You won’t be able to use your phone on Mars And you’re likely to need a good book We went to Mars last year It’s really boring Unit 10, Page 108, Exercise and 3b Track 3.32 / Bey_B1plus_U10_108_3.32 Steve: Welcome to 2-Minute Science This week, we’ll be talking to three futurologists, in other words, people who make predictions about the future Now, back in prehistoric times, we only had one real question: ‘Where will my next meal be coming from?’ And although many people still have to ask this question, they’re also able to imagine a future that’s better So what does the future hold? Here’s Katie, reporting from England Katie: Steve, I’m with Dave Monk in the city of the future Except, Dave, where are the ultramodern skyscrapers? The overcrowded megacity that never sleeps? Dave: In the future, I predict we’ll be moving out of big cities and into much smaller places like this Katie: So, we’ll be living in small towns Dave: That’s right Fifty years from now, fossil fuels – that is, petrol and gas – will have run out So we won’t be importing food from other countries or travelling long distances to work We’ll be living in small, self-sustaining communities, communities that produce their own food and energy This page has been downloaded from www.macmillanbeyond.com © Macmillan Publishers Limited 2015 This sheet may be photocopied and used within the class 32 B1+ CLASS AUDIO SCRIPT UNIT 10 FUTURE VISIONS Steve: But some people will still need to travel long distances We sent Kyle to China to find out how Kyle: Steve, I’m in Beijing to meet Bao Feng Bao, I imagine that in 20 years’ time we’ll be flying across the Atlantic in two hours on supersonic passenger planes Bao: Passenger planes are sure to get faster, but a supersonic passenger plane, one that can fly faster than the speed of sound? Building one would be problematic, very difficult No, I think the future of fast long-distance travel is the train Kyle: Really? Why the train? Bao: Well, the Maglev, or magnetic levitation train, can already travel at 580 kph And with bad weather causing more and more delays in air travel because of climate change, these ultra-fast trains will become a reliable alternative, reliable because people can trust them to be on time Steve: And finally, let’s return to my question at the start of the show Where will our next meal be coming from? Here’s Moira, reporting from Miami Moira: I’ve come to speak to Sami Bitar about 3-D printers So Sami, what’s the connection between 3-D printers and meals? Sami: 3-D printers have been printing food for years This means that they build the food up one layer at a time To this they use a liquidised version of the food The problem is, the more different foods you want to print, the more ingredients you need That’s not very practical, so our goal is to develop a small range of special ingredients that can combine to print any food If we manage that, people really will be printing full meals at home Steve: Thanks, Moira Well, that’s all we have time for today Tune in next week for more 2-Minute Science!

great church in the town – and spoke to the Archbishop ‘Tell all the people to come to the Cathedral on Sunday,’ he said On Sunday, the knights and the people of Winchester came to the cathedral They prayed for peace and a good king And while they were praying, they heard a sound like music outside the cathedral The people went outside In the field by the church, they saw a large stone The stone was half as big as a man A bright, metal sword was standing in the stone The people could see only the handle of the sword ‘I will ride back to our tent,’ said Arthur ‘The knights are gathering near the cathedral Go there I will fetch your sword and bring it to you.’ ‘Ride quickly,’ said Kay So Arthur rode his horse back across the field Then, in the middle of the field, he saw the stone and the sword The bright sunshine shone on the sword ‘No-one is using this sword,’ Arthur thought ‘I will borrow it for my brother Kay.’ Then the young man pulled the sword from the stone and took it to his brother Arthur did not know why the sword was in the stone But Kay knew about the sword and the other knights knew too They all gathered around Kay and Arthur ‘Who gave you this sword?’ asked a knight ‘What are you doing with it?’ ‘Arthur, this sword does not belong to you,’ said Sir Ector ‘Put the sword back in the stone The sword belongs to the true king.’ The archbishop looked at the stone and the sword Words were written on the stone in gold letters: All the knights watched as Arthur put the sword back into the stone THE MAN WHO PULLS THIS SWORD FROM THE STONE IS THE TRUE KING OF ALL BRITAIN ‘Kay,’ said Sir Ector ‘Draw the sword from the stone.’ Then one by one, the men tried to pull the sword from the stone All the knights of Winchester tried, but they all failed The sword did not move ‘The true king is not here today,’ said the archbishop ‘I will send messages through all the lands of Britain Soon, everyone will know about this sword Anyone who wants to pull the sword out of the stone must come here at Christmas On New Year’s Day, we will have a contest We will see who can draw the sword from the stone.’ All the knights of Britain came to gather at Winchester They put their tents in the fields near the cathedral It was winter and very cold so the men lit fires to keep warm Sir Ector was an old, brave and honest knight He came to Winchester with his two sons – Kay and Arthur The three men rode their horses towards the cathedral It was New Year’s Day and they were going to the gathering of the knights Kay was eighteen years old and ready to become a knight But only a king can give a man this title And there was no king in the land Arthur was nearly sixteen years old He did not look like his brother, Kay Kay was dark-haired But Arthur had fair hair, which was almost the colour of gold Arthur was taller and stronger than his older brother Kay stopped his horse Then he put his hand on his sheath and felt for his sword But the sheath was empty ‘I have forgotten my sword,’ he said to Arthur ‘I helped father to put on his armour but I forgot to put my own sword in my sheath.’ So Kay put his hand around the handle of the sword and pulled But the sword did not move Then all the other Knights tried to pull the sword out of the stone, but it did not move ‘Arthur,’ said Sir Ector ‘Draw the sword from the stone.’ Arthur put his hand on the sword and drew the sword from the stone easily Then he raised the sword above his head and the metal flashed brightly in the sunlight Everyone could see that Arthur held the sword Sir Ector got off his horse He drew his own sword from its sheath and knelt down on the ground He lowered his head and held the handle of a sword towards Arthur ‘Arthur,’ said Ector ‘You are the true king of all the land and I am your servant.’ Arthur was astonished ‘Father, put your sword away,’ he said ‘Arthur You must know the truth,’ said Sir Ector ‘I am not your father Merlin the magician brought you to me more than fifteen summers ago when you were only a few days old ‘Take this child into your home,’ Merlin told me ‘The boy’s name is Arthur Take care of him Arthur and Kay will be brothers.’ When they heard these words, everyone knelt down Arthur was astonished and could not speak Three months passed At the beginning of spring, Arthur was crowned king in Winchester Cathedral When the Archbishop put the Crown on his head, all the people shouted, ‘LONG LIVE THE KING!

Or was she praying that he would not hurt her? I did not like this scene There was trouble here I stepped behind a large tree When I looked at the path again, the man and woman had disappeared I walked on until I saw the light of the lamps shining from the windows of the boarding house The scene of the man and the woman in the forest stayed in my mind It had made me feel unhappy and uncomfortable I saw some new guests at breakfast the next morning A young woman sat at a table opposite mine, but she was not the woman who I had seen last night There was only one school in Brownville and I was the only teacher Brownville was a small town and had few young people, but many visitors stayed there in the summer Brownville has some of the finest views in the state of California The town lies between hills that are covered in beautiful, colourful trees In the hills, the air is fresh and clear Many visitors came to Brownville to improve their health They walked on the hills and breathed the good, clean air Then a younger lady entered the dining room The two young women looked very similar And they were both extremely pretty I saw many of these visitors because I lived in a boarding house In summer, the house was full of guests and I talked to most of them I ate breakfast and supper in the boarding house and spent the rest of the day at the school I did not see the tall, slim man, but I heard him He was in the garden of the boarding house As I had guessed, he was a singer He was practising his singing He was singing ‘La donna é mobile’ – a song from Verdi’s opera, Rigoletto The school was not far away It was on the other side of a hill The distance by road was about one and a half miles, but I knew a shorter way I could walk over the top of the hill in fifteen minutes There was a path that ran through the forest on the hill The singer had a very good, strong voice Maybe it was too good Why was he in a simple boarding house in Brownville and singing in this way? I walked away quickly I came back along this forest path late one evening It was the last day of term Tomorrow, the students’ vacations would begin I had stayed late at the school because I had been writing reports Suddenly I heard voices One was a woman’s voice, and she sounded angry The second voice belonged to a man It was a deep and musical voice — the voice of a singer I could not see who was speaking, but I could hear the words clearly ‘Don’t threaten me!’ The man said ‘You can nothing Don’t try to change anything, or you will both suffer.’ ‘What you mean?’ said the woman’s voice angrily It was a cultivated voice — she spoke clearly and well ‘Do you mean that you’ll murder us?’ It was almost dark now, but suddenly I saw the two people among the trees They were standing on the path The man was tall and slim He seemed to be wearing black clothes But there were too many shadows and I could not see clearly The woman wore a pale grey dress They did not see me When the second young lady spoke, I recognised her voice immediately I had heard it in the forest The two ladies were sisters I guessed that they were about 18 and 20 years old I finished my coffee and left the dining room quickly When I returned to the boarding house later, I saw the elder sister She was standing in the garden with the singer He was dressed in black clothes His back was turned towards me, so I could not see his face The singer was talking easily to the young woman I guessed that they knew each other well When I came into the garden, he stopped talking and turned around He looked straight at my face The man was not young I guessed that he was about 50 years old His face was extremely handsome His hair was thick and black – as black as the clothes that he wore And the clothes were very fine They were smart, fashionable and well made They looked expensive He could not have bought clothes like these in Brownville I have seen pictures of opera houses in the fashionable cities of Europe This man reminded me of the men in those pictures The man looked at me as if he knew the thoughts in my head Did he know what I was thinking? The expression on his face was not angry or frightening But I suddenly felt afraid Why? I could not explain it I only knew that I was afraid of this dark and handsome man He was dangerous I did not like him This page has been downloaded from www.macmillanbeyond.com © Macmillan Publishers Limited 2015 This sheet may be photocopied and used within the class 38 B1+ CLASS AUDIO SCRIPT EXTRA READING Extra Reading: An Adventure at Brownville, page 119, Exercise 5b Track 3.43 / Bey_B1plus_extrareading_117_3.43 The landlady of the boarding house always liked to gossip She always had the latest news and was happy to talk about it So I asked her about the new guests ‘The two girls are Pauline and Eva Maynard and they’ve come from San Francisco,’ the landlady said ‘Pauline is the older sister The man’s name is Richard Benning He is their guardian He has taken care of the girls since their father died Soon, when the girls are 21, they’ll have their father’s money Meanwhile, Eva isn’t well Mr Benning believes that the good air of Brownville will improve her health.’ ‘Mr Benning takes very good care of the two girls,’ the landlady went on ‘He spends a lot of money on them, and on himself But maybe he’s spending their father’s money.’ For a short time, I forgot those frightening words Then one morning, the people of Brownville were all talking about a tragedy Something terrible had happened in their town Pauline Maynard, the elder sister, had died Many people came to the boarding house to say a few kind words I went into the sitting room Eva Maynard was standing beside the body of her dead sister and she was weeping Pauline Maynard was lying in a wooden coffin Her face was extremely pale She looked as if she were asleep A crowd of people stood in the doorway of the sitting-room and stared at the scene Suddenly, Richard Benning pushed his way through the crowd and entered the room He tried to hold Eva’s hand, but she pulled it away She stood up and cried out ‘It’s you!’ she shouted ‘You’ve done this You – you – YOU!’ It was now my summer vacation I did not have to go back to the school for several weeks I walked on the hills and enjoyed the views and the fresh air I often met Richard Benning and the two girls walking on the hills too They seemed to be very happy together Then I remembered the strange words that I had heard one of the sisters say ‘Do you mean that you’ll murder us?’ Why had Eva Maynard said this?
