Mexico
A man who tried to smuggle 18 monkeys into Mexico by
hiding them under his jumper has been arrested by border
police. Roberto Cabrera had stuffed the monkeys into
socks and hidden them in a girdle strapped around his
waist because he wanted to sneak them through customs
at Mexico City International Airport. The monkeys are a
protected species and a permit is required for their possession. The endangered
monkeys were discovered after officials spotted the man behaving ‘nervously’
and detected a mysterious bulge under his jumper. Two of the animals were
dead. A spokesman for Mexico’s Public Safety Department said Cabrera
became ‘markedly nervous’ when questioned about what he was carrying. The
38-year-old admitted that he had bought the six-inch South American monkeys
in Peru and carried them in his luggage on a flight home from Lima. He claimed
to have hidden the creatures in his clothing to shield them from X-rays in
luggage-scanning equipment. He described the animals as ‘pets’.

1 Police community support officers 4
(PCSOs) have startled home owners
by wandering uninvited into their
properties during a burglary
crackdown. If doors were left open, the
civilian officers were instructed to walk
straight into their homes.
2 On occasions, they came face to
face with residents who were pottering
around at home. One resident, who
came face to face with a PCSO in her
home, said she was totally shocked
when she met the officer in her
kitchen. “I was in the kitchen when all
of a sudden there was an officer in
front of me. I really didn’t know what to
make of it and just stared at her for a 5
while. She had climbed through my
living room window and started
lecturing me about crime prevention.
I thought it was a bit much really, but it
did make me think.”
3 Police insist that officers have an
obligation to investigate doors which
have been left open in case an intruder
is inside. A Sussex police spokesman
said: “As we have seen an increase in
burglaries, the PCSOs were briefed to
look at properties whilst they were on
patrol as if looking through the eyes of
a burglar, spotting open doors and
windows which could provide easy
access for an opportunistic thief.”
41p
What becomes clear from paragraphs 1 and 2?
A PCSOs are assisted by former burglars to check an area.
B Some PCSOs abuse their position when performing their tasks.
C The anti-burglary tips handed out by PCSOs prove to be very effective.
D The methods used by PCSOs to increase safety can frighten people.
51p

A to explain they were acting on behalf of the police
B to get to know the people living in the area better
C to inform the owners they should close doors and windows
D to leave behind instructions on how to tackle a burglar
71p
What can be concluded from paragraph 5?
A PCSOs have assisted the police successfully up till now.
B People are displeased with how PCSOs function.
C People want the police to hand over more tasks to PCSOs.
D There is concern about the violence used by PCSOs.
opgave 4Tekst 4 High-flying Doctor
High-flying Doctor 1 Two years ago Dr Emma Boulton was the lead GP 1) in a busy surgery in Oxford, covering a population of 5,500 in an area six miles square. She took an interest in emergency care. However, after four years that had become predictable and sometimes even boring. It just didn’t match up to the challenges she dreamed of as a medical student at St Bartholomew’s in London. 2 So Emma applied for a job she had long wanted, with the Royal Flying 5 Doctor Service in Australia, serving the needs of the Outback, which has more kangaroos than people. For the past 14 months she has been based in Broken Hill, 1,200 km from Sydney, surrounded by a desert of red sand at temperatures often hitting 40 ˚ C and higher. She provides GP 1) and emergency healthcare to the same number of people as in Oxford, but in an area stretching across 6 800 miles. 3 Within 10 days of starting her new job, she was on her first flight, alongside the pilot and a team of nurses, mental health specialists and dentists, and other doctors being flown to remote clinics. They visit ‘bush clinics’, where they are the only form of health care. The bush clinics are typically held in homes, shearing sheds and cargo containers, and the plane must take all the necessary equipment – drugs, computers, printers and satellite phone. 4 Common chronic problems are diabetes, heart disease and mental noot 1 GP = huisarts

Woman Breaks Record
A 28-year-old woman has eaten 51 ghost chillies, the world’s hottest, in two
minutes to gain a place in Guinness World Records Book. Anandita Dutta
Tamuly (seen smearing chilli seeds on her eyes) was cheered on by Gordon
Ramsey, who was visiting the north-eastern state of Assam to film a new TV
series. Ghost chilli has more than 1,000,000 Scoville units, the scientific
measurement of spiciness – jalapeno peppers hold up to 8,000. Ramsey tried a
bite but said it was ‘too much’. Tamuly said: “I felt so 
I could eat only 51.
I could eat only 51.In 2006, I had eaten 60 in two minutes for a local record event.”
opgave 7Tekst 7 Adopt-a-Pig
Adopt-a-Pig Sarah Todd meets a teenager who offers full pigsty-to-plate traceability 1 It is generally difficult to prise teenage boys away from playing computer games and listening to music, but 18-year-old Duncan Turnbull is not your average adolescent. He was only 15 when he launched Adopt-a-Pig, a scheme whereby customers pay a £50 deposit to choose and name a newborn piglet, visit it as often as they like and keep abreast of its progress via a website photo gallery. 2 When the time comes, seven months later, for the animal to be slaughtered there’s a tough choice to make: are you after a hog roast, pork for roasting – complete with a layer of crispy crackling –, or would you be more interested in Duncan’s 98 per cent meat sausages and bacon rashers? Friends and family often join forces to adopt a pig and share out the meat between them. The final bill is usually between £200 and £300 for the whole pig, depending on the cuts chosen. Given the quality and provenance of Duncan’s meat, it’s surprisingly good value. A pig’s worth of anonymous pork products at a supermarket would cost somewhere between £150 and £200. 3 Meeting Hilda – Duncan’s first pig and the one that got him interested in the endangered Oxford Sandy & Black breed – and her litter of eight adorable piglets
5 Duncan is outside by 6.30am to give them their food (as natural as possible) before heading off to study for his A-levels. Once he gets home, there is an hour’s worth of emails and paperwork to deal with before the evening feed. On Friday evenings he goes to the local brewery to collect waste malting barley which, he says, adds to the taste of the meat. He has school on Saturday, so Sunday is a busy day spent mucking out and doing other chores. 6 With an annual turnover of around £10,000 and projections of over £25,000 next year, Duncan’s enterprise is no longer a laughing matter among his school friends. In fact, three of them went with him to last month’s Salone del Gusto food fair in Turin to try to break into the international market. His plans to promote British meat impressed
Which of the following is true about most of Duncan’s customers according to paragraph 4? A They are happy to promote the whole concept of Duncan’s farm. B They prefer to buy their food close to the place where they live. C They want all their family members to get really attached to their pig. D They want to teach their children where the meat they eat comes from.
Geef van elk van de volgende beweringen over Duncan aan of deze juist of onjuist is op grond van de alinea’s 5 en 6. Omcirkel ‘juist’ of ‘onjuist’ in de uitwerkbijlage. 1 Hij hoeft er weinig voor te doen om succes te hebben. 2 Hij doet extra moeite om het vlees van zijn varkens zo lekker mogelijk te krijgen. 3 Zijn vrienden verklaren hem voor gek dat hij dit werk doet. 4 Hij probeert ook in het buitenland bekendheid te krijgen.

Husband shoots wife in leg A man shot his wife in the leg during an evening stroll. Mandy and Jon Hudson were using a shotgun to scare birds from fishing lakes when Mr Hudson tripped on a rabbit hole and the firearm went off. Mrs Hudson was hit in the ankle. This happened at Bromeswell lakes, near Woodbridge, Suffolk, where Mr Hudson is leaseholder. Cliff Roberts, 65, a water bailiff, said: “We have a lot of Canada geese down here and a heron and we try to scare them off by firing a gun.” Mrs Hudson, believed to be in her forties, was in a stable condition in hospital. Her husband was said to be in ‘very deep shock’. Police officers visited the scene but took no action. Daily Telegraph

As an owner you are obliged to provide appropriate conditions and environments for your dog. So if you are slapping a great big coat on it when it really doesn’t need it, then that could cause it to suffer if it is overheating.

Dog clothing has become big business in 4 recent years. Fashion designers have also created dog accessories. However, the growing trend for dog owners to clothe their pets has led to warnings from animal welfare experts, who say it could be causing the animals to overheat. 2 Experts say that, apart from a few exceptions – such as very small dogs with short hair and thin breeds such as grey-hounds – clothing impedes a dog’s ability to regulate its temperature.

Catch this Wave!
Lakey Peterson, 16, is already making it big in the
professional surfing world. Recently, she was picked
as the top female for the 2011 USA Surf Team. The
surfing wunderkind talks about her life in the water,
the determination it takes, and her passion for keeping
the ocean clean.
1 “I’ve always lived in walking distance to the beach. My mom was a swimmer so
I was always in the water, with or without a surfboard. I started participating in
surfing contests when I was eleven. When I was thirteen, after I had been doing
the contests for two years, I started taking it more seriously. And then the next
year I went to the nationals and that made me realize that I can definitely do this
and it’s so much fun and I don’t want to do anything else. I want to be a
professional surfer.
2 If you want to become the best, you shouldn’t give up. Sometimes it’s going
to be hard and you’re not going to want to do it, but it will all be worth it in the
end. Sometimes I don’t want to go surfing, and sometimes I don’t want to work
out in the gym. I love surfing. I love to do it, but at the same time it’s not always
super fun with perfect waves. I’ve learned that it will all come together
eventually. Besides, I know other people have put so much effort into me – my
sponsors who are doing so much for me, my mom, my dad, and the rest of my
family who are there for me. Just knowing that everyone believes in me is really
helpful.
3 Recently, I have become involved in a charity program: the Student
Conservation Association (SCA). They are doing a really great thing for the
Earth. I’m surfing in the ocean and that needs to be cleaned. It just seemed like
a really good match. We pollute so much. I want my children later on to be able
to go into the ocean. It’s really important that we keep our oceans clean,
because if we don't, generations to follow won’t be able to do what we can do
now. I just think it is a very important thing for everyone. Be aware. If you’re on
the beach and see trash on the ground, pick it up. Little things can add up. ”

Welke twee dingen zijn dat?
Je krijgt toegang tot ‘Go Ape’. Je wilt beginnen aan je avontuur, maar je moet
eerst nog twee dingen doen.
Welke twee dingen zijn dat?Bring out your inner ape with a day out at the Go Ape High Wire
Forest Adventure Course in Dalby Forest, North Yorkshire
Go Ape is a giant obstacle course and a fantastic way to enjoy the great
outdoors with family or friends. You will be monkeying around some 40ft high up
in the treetops, walking rope bridges, crawling through wooden tunnels and
zipping to the ground on the popular Go Ape zip slides.
Hilltop-to-hilltop zip wires and a plunging valley below are just two of the
features that make Go Ape so popular. It’s simply stunning. There are 37
crossings in total. Keep an eye out for the Indian Bridge at site 3 which is the
longest crossing on the course at 15m in length. You will also feel the adrenalin
rush as you zip down to the ground on the longest zip slide on site 4 which
stretches 250m from the platform to the ground.
Before you embark on your Go Ape adventure you will be fitted with a harness
and given a safety briefing during which you will be told how to use the course.
The canopy is then your adventure playground where fun and challenging
obstacles await. Taking approximately three hours to complete, the course is
made up of six sections and at the end of every section is an exhilarating zip
slide that takes you back to terra firma.
To Go Ape you must be at least 10yrs old and at least 4ft 5in. Check out the
website for full restriction details.
