You are going to read a newspaper article that is the response to Britney's letter. Some sentences have been removed from the text. Choose from the list (A—G) the most appropriate sentence to fill each gap (1—5) in the text and write its letter in the box. There is one extra sentence that you do not need to use. There is one example (0) at the beginning. The Response to Britney's Letter After weeks of speculation Britney Spears has released her "letter to the fans." (0) While Spears is taking a break from the limelight she says that she really wants to watch "Saved" with Mandy Moore and re-runs of "Sex and the City." (1) On that note, Britney says, "Being married is GREAT and I can't wait to start my family." After reading this letter I must admit that my respect toward Britney has grown. (2) I mean, the Madonna kiss was HOT, but it was obviously just another attempt for her and Madonna to land on the cover of every magazine worldwide. And, the 55-hour wedding was a great way to garner some much needed attention after "In the Zone" sales weren't doing so well. (3) "My prerogative right now is to just chill & let all of the other overexposed blondes on the cover of Us Weekly be your entertainment... GOOD LUCK GIRLS!!" As for all the antics, Britney says, "I'm sorry that my life seemed like it was all over the place the past 2 years, it's probably because IT WAS! (4) Going & going & going is all I've ever known since I was 15 years old. It's amazing what advisors will push you to do, even if it means taking a naive, young, blonde girl & putting her on the cover of every magazine." While Britney may hope that the letter puts an end to the chaos of paparazzi that surrounds on any given day, it is highly doubtful that any of that will come to an end anytime soon. (5) I look forward to seeing and hearing more from Britney in the future. So, what do you think of Britney's letter? Tell us in our brand new column "Letters to the Editor". A While I have been a fan of Britney since the beginning I have been somewhat annoyed with her publicity antics over the past few years. B Don't expect the singer to just be sitting around on this break though she and husband, Kevin Federline, will be taking their honeymoon. C She continues, "I understand now what they mean when they talk about child stars." D But, Mrs. Federline is ready to put all that behind her. E Good luck Madonna! F In the letter the superstar announces that she is taking a break from her career to enjoy the "simple things" in life that she has missed out on over the past few years. G I would like to wish Britney and Kevin the best of luck on their marriage.

You are going to read the text about the history of snowboards. Answer the questions (1—10) after the text in no more than five words. Write your answers on the lines. There is an example at the beginning (0). The History of Snowboards The first snowboards were made in the 1960s. However, it was in the late 70s that they became more popular. Throughout the 80s, more and more people began taking up the sport, even though snowboards were not allowed on most ski hills. Despite its earlier setbacks, snowboarding is now the world's fastest growing winter sport and most resorts welcome snowboards. In 1963, a Grade 8 student named Tom Sims designed a skiboard for a school project in New Jersey. Then, in 1966, a man named Sherman Poppen attached two skis together for his kids on Christmas day. He called his invention "the Snurfer," which combines the words "snow" and "surf." In 1969, Jake Burton Carpenter received a snurfer for Christmas. He soon began designing boards, and today "Burton" is a popular brand of snowboard. By the 1980s, snowboarding had become very popular. However, most ski resorts did not allow snowboarding because, they thought it was too dangerous. Since many snowboarders were young, many older skiers did not want them on the ski hills. The snowboarders had to go to the backcountry, away from patrolled resorts. - M& Rejection at the resorts did not stop snowboarding from growing in popularity. Eventually, the owners of ski resorts changed their views. They realized that they could make more money by allowing snowboarding. One by one, the resorts began to welcome snowboards. Today, many resorts even set aside special areas where snowboarders can practice their creative tricks. In 1998, snowboarding became one of the sports in the Winter Olympics. Snowboarding has come a long way in the last 40 years. Winter resorts now welcome the sport they once turned away. Each year, this exciting winter sport becomes more and more popular.
