1 ! Skellig by David Almond I found him in the garage on a Sunday afternoon. It was the day after we moved into Falconer Road. The winter was ending. Mum had said we d be moving just in time for the spring. Nobody else was there. Just me. The others were inside the house with Doctor Death, worrying about the baby. He was lying there in the darkness behind the tea chests, in the dust and dirt. It was as if he d been there forever. He was filthy and pale and dried out and I thought he was dead. I couldn t have been more wrong. I d soon begin to see the truth about him, that there d never been another creature like him in the world. We called it the garage because that s what the estate agent, Mr Stone, called it. It was more like a demolition site or a rubbish dump or like one of those ancient warehouses they keep pulling down at the quay. Stone led us down the garden, tugged the door open and shone his little torch into the gloom. We shoved our heads in at the doorway with him. You have to see it with your mind s eye, he said. See it cleaned, with new doors and the roof repaired. See it as a wonderful twocar garage. He looked at me with a stupid grin on his face. Or something for you, lad a hideaway for you and your mates. What about that, eh? Why has the author decided to call the doctor Doctor Death Why is shoved a good word to use? How does the word tugged reveal the condition of the garage? Why do you think the author decided to give the Estate Agent a little torch?
2 ! Skellig by David Almond I looked away. I didn t want anything to do with him. All the way round the house it had been the same. Just see it in your mind s eye. Just imagine what could be done. All the way round I kept thinking of the old man, Ernie Myers, that had lived here on his own for years. He d been dead nearly a week before they found him under the table in the kitchen. That s what I saw when Stone told us about seeing with the mind s eye. He even said it when we got to the dining room and there was an old cracked toilet sitting there in the corner behind a plywood screen. I just wanted him to shut up, but he whispered that towards the end Ernie couldn t manage the stairs. His bed was brought in here and a toilet was put in so everything was easy for him. Stone looked at me like he didn t think I should know about such things. I wanted to get out to get back to our old house again, but Mum and Dad took it all in. They went on like it was going to be some big adventure. They bought the house. They started cleaning it and scrubbing it and painting it. Then the baby came too early. And here we were. The last few sentences are simple and short. Why?
3 OF COURSE superheroes may be popular all over the world, but that does not mean that everybody likes them. Some people argue that their adventures are far-fetched and unrealistic. They are accused of having a harmful influence on children who put themselves in danger by copying their heroes impossible deeds. Others enjoy the stories for their excitement, suspense and escape from reality. Fans revel in knowing every detail about their superheroes: their individual powers, their intriguing costumes, their unique physical features even their family backgrounds. 13. individual... unique What do these words on page 8 tell you about superheroes? 19.

5 Goalball Scores! Fast, furious, skilful and fun! That s the way people describe goalball, a sport that is winning new fans every day. It s a thrilling indoor game for teams of three. The aim is to score by getting the ball over the opposing team s goal line. The Woodbridge Arena was buzzing last night as this year s basketball championships reached their climax, The favourites made their mark early on and set the pace for the game as the Eagles struggled against the superior height of Johnson and Murray. The pair dominated the passing and made sure the Arrows ended their second quarter with an overwhelming 34 point lead. Rob Lane s long passes brought the Eagles back to life just after the break and upset the opposition for a time. But the Arrows kept their nerve to secure a narrow victory. Gomez, the victorious captain, later praised the newly redesigned wheelchairs the team are trying out. We really noticed the extra flexibility of the wheels. It made turning easier and that helped our confidence. The future of the game certainly looks bright on the evidence of this final. 6. Fast, furious, skilful and fun! (page 7)! Why do you think the writer described goalball in this way?! Explain as fully as you can.

Furious because it is a team game and you want to get the ball off the other team. Skilful because it takes some practice. 10.

9 She decided to get a box to put the photographs in. She twisted round and ran to the stairs. Those who hurry fastest are the first to fall was one of her Grampa s sayings, and it was as if she heard him saying it now, right out loud in her ear as she stumbled on the top step. Seconds later she landed with a crash at the foot of the stairs. Her head hurt, her bottom hurt and her legs throbbed painfully. Fiona was quite alone in the big empty house. She started to get up. Her legs were caught underneath her body and she tried to heave herself up and straighten them out. Oww, she yelped. A stabbing pain flared in her knees. She moved again, this time more carefully. 19. Grampa said to Fiona, Those who hurry fastest are the first to fall. (page 11) Explain what he meant pain flared in her knees.

11 Music isn t just a question of sounds. The thing about playing percussion is that you are not just creating sound, not just playing notes or beating out a pattern. You are creating emotions from inside yourself that can be sometimes beautiful and uplifting but are, sometimes, ugly or disturbing. To be a good musician, music has to come from deep inside you, from a seed growing in your heart. Not far under the surface of the Earth, it is hot. The further down you go inside the Earth, the hotter it becomes. Deep, deep down below our feet, it is so hot that even the rock melts and is nine times hotter than boiling water. In places where the Earth s surface is weak, this liquid rock can bubble up and burst through. These weak spots are the world s volcanoes. 10.

13 On that fateful day in AD 79, the town nearest the volcano was completely smothered under a layer of ash and rock. This unusual blanket protected the remains of the town of Pompeii for hundreds of years. Gradually it has been uncovered and many fascinating discoveries have been made. By studying these remains experts have found out about life in the area near the volcano and about the day the volcano erupted. They found scenes preserved exactly as the people had left them: tables laid for meals with loaves of bread, baskets of eggs and nuts, all now solidified. Today, thousands of tourists flock to see the remains of this unique town, trapped in time. People are fascinated by the opportunity to see what life was like two thousand years ago. Many also make the difficult climb up Mount Vesuvius to peer into the smouldering crater. The huge number of visitors who visit Pompeii every year is bringing a large set of problems. Parts of the ruins are being worn away just by the large numbers of people who pass through. Furthermore, not all visitors treat the site with respect. There has been vandalism, some treasures have been stolen and some people just don t realise the danger of clambering over the remains both to themselves and to the ruins.
