Zadanie 4.    (4 pkt)

Przeczytaj trzy opinie na temat hoteli zamieszczone na stronie internetowej. Do każdego zdania (4.1.–4.4.) dopasuj
właściwy tekst (A–C). Wpisz rozwiązania w odpowiednie kratki. Uwaga: jedna część tekstu pasuje do dwóch zdań.

The reviewer
4.1. had not intended to stay at this hotel.
4.2. found certain aspects of the hotel different to what they had been expecting.
4.3. thought the old fashioned appearance enhanced the appeal of the hotel.
4.4. was given compensation because of a problem at the hotel.

A.
We visited the Hotel Belvedere last month on a two week package holiday organised by the travel company Lost Horizons.
We were supposed to have been given a five-star room with a sea view but on arrival we discovered that the sea view was only
possible if we stood on the (rather dangerous) balcony and looked round the corner of the building. We were unimpressed by
the standard of the room and when we made our feelings known to the manager we were told that there were no other rooms
available at that time so not wanting to make any further fuss, we made the best of our holiday.
***** Not recommended
B.
When booking our holiday in Cornwall we relied on holiday reviews on this website that recommended the Hotel Belvedere
and we were not disappointed. Apart from the fact that the lift was out of order during our stay we enjoyed a refreshing break
there. The location is stunning, situated on a cliff overlooking the sea and the hotel manager was kind and helpful at all times,
including offering us a free meal because of the inconvenience of not having an operational lift. The hotel is an old building and
there was a need for some updating, but we would definitely recommend a short stay there.
*****
C.
I decided to write a review for the Hotel Belvedere in Cornwall because I had such a pleasant stay there last month. We
stumbled across the hotel by accident while we were searching for overnight accommodation in the area and a one-night stay
turned into a week’s holiday. The rather faded grandeur of the hotel is a hugely attractive feature and staying there is rather like
being transported to a previous era. Understandably, the rooms are not equipped with a large array of modern gadgetry but
the restaurant is the height of elegance and the chef performed some miracles with the local fish. Highly recommended.

STAYING YOUNG
The greatest prize in medical research would most assuredly go to that lucky individual or group who managed to find the
secret to staying young. 5.1. _ What wouldn’t scientists give to develop in their laboratories a pill, cream or medicine that
would stop our skin from wrinkling and our organs from failing as we get older? Is that day really getting closer?
Over the years people have tried many different ways to remain young. We have followed specific diets containing foods that
are said to have anti-ageing effects and companies have made a fortune selling us creams and tablets. Private hospitals even
take out online adverts to promote their surgical procedures that can rejuvenate our faces and eliminate saggy skin. 5.2. _
And when they finally do, beauty companies all over the world will be fighting at their doors to buy the rights to sell it.
So, has any progress actually been made in this field? 5.3. _ It seems that scientists at Newcastle University have discovered
a new anti-oxidant that can protect cells against damage caused by the sun. It is called Tiron. They have known for a long
time that there are anti-oxidants in food and drink such as red wine and curry which can help protect our cells, but this new
discovery is a major step forward. Whereas those naturally occurring anti oxidants provided 22% protection in tests, Tiron gave
100%. Not bad, is it? So far, the tests using Tiron have only been carried out on animals, and it is not yet safe for human use but
scientists are confident that within a few years a safe form of Tiron could be available.
So, unfortunately we shall have to wait a little longer for more definite results.
5.4. _ Sadly, in an age where cash is king I rather think the latter opinion will prevail.
A. But it is really down to the scientists to find that magic formula that will really help.
B. Then there will be all the moral debates about whether such a valuable item should be added to food for the benefit of
everyone or sold to the few who can afford it.
C. Eternal youth is unfortunately a fantasy, the topic of story tellers down the ages, but slowing down the process of ageing is
possibly within our grasp.
D. Is it true that where we live has a great effect on how quickly we age or is this just a myth?
E. Actually, there is some good news. A recent exciting development has got the medical world talking.

Tekst 1.

THE BANK MANAGER’S MONDAY MORNING

It was a lovely morning. There was a chill in the air but the brass name plate outside the bank gleamed in the spring sunshine.
Arnold Brown frowned and took a tissue from his pocket to wipe off the smudge of someone’s fingerprint. That’s better, he thought
with satisfaction. Everything clean and shiny, just as it should be. He had a smile on his face as he keyed in the code and entered
the bank.
His staff were already there, heads down, hard at work. There was filing to do, phone calls to be made, contacts to be reached.
As Arnold moved past the desks, no one lifted a face to say good morning. He nodded to himself. Yes, just as it should be. No time
in the busy banking world for niceties. A quick glance around the room showed him that nothing was out of place and he
headed for his office, opening the heavy oak door with a contentment that twenty years of diligence and obedience had brought
him. He put his brief case on the floor beside the large modern desk, noting happily that the desktop and computer were both
gleaming and that a faint flowery perfume in the room indicated that the cleaner had done an efficient job.
His next job being to turn off the night security alarms, Arnold bustled his way through the big room again and descended the
two flights of stairs into the basement where the vaults and individual security safes were housed. He unlocked the heavy metal
gates and proceeded to the alarm inside the room that contained the bank’s most valued clients’ safety deposit boxes. He keyed
in the security code, known only to him and two others, and experienced a minor irritation when he did not hear the familiar
double bleep. His focus was on the alarm box but something was not right in his peripheral vision. Something was not where it
should be. Taking his eyes off the alarm, Arnold turned and looked to see what was offending his eye.
At first Arnold could not take in what he saw. The room contained two long walls full of safety deposit boxes. There were hundreds
of the small, drawer-like containers where clients paid to store their most valued possessions. Arnold knew from experience that
these included money, jewellery and papers, a lot of papers. Among the papers were photographs and information that the
owners for one reason or another – not always in the strictest interpretation of the word ‘legal’ – wanted to keep hidden. Of course,
the bank’s discretion was one of its most important qualities and Arnold would never, even under the threat of death, reveal what
he knew about the contents of any of those boxes. This was why what he saw in that room on that beautiful spring morning pulled
a tight cord round his heart and drained the blood from his face.
The safety deposit boxes were no longer neat little rows of drawers. The order was destroyed by a number of box fronts hanging
open, dark against the pristine whiteness of those that remained closed. After a moment of incomprehension, Arnold’s brain
returned to normal function and within seconds it had calculated that about forty of the security boxes had been opened by
force. And he realised, with a horrible sinking feeling, that they were forty of the bank’s most privileged clients. The bank, his
bank, had been robbed.

6.1. When he arrived at the bank Arnold was
happy because
A. the brass plate had been cleaned.
B. he wasn’t greeted by any of the employees.
C. it was a beautiful spring day.
D. no one had been into his office during his
absence.
Tekst 2.
6.2. What concerned Arnold most about
the robbery was that
A. the bank’s security had been breached.
B. further crimes might follow.
C. the bank had let down its clients.
D. he would be held personally
responsible.
6.3. From the text we learn
that Arnold is
A. uncaring and unkind.
B. organised and officious.
C. frustrated and rebellious.
D. sensitive and anxious.

GOOD PLANNING
One of the biggest and most well organised bank robberies took place in Brazil in 2005. Up to ten men broke into the central
bank over a weekend and stole the equivalent of £65 million from the vaults. There have been many big bank robberies over
the years, but what sets this apart from others is the ingenious planning and preparation that went into it. When the police
were called after the discovery of the robbery on the Monday morning they discovered a 78-metre tunnel that had been
constructed from a house in the centre of the city to below the bank. The tunnel went under two complete city blocks and
was lined with wood and plastic and had its own lighting and air circulation system. The gang must have included maths,
engineering and excavation experts. It appears that the robbers rented the house three months previously and set up a fake
gardening business so that neighbours would not be concerned by the soil that was being removed from the building.
Although many people have been arrested for the crime, none of the masterminds have been caught and only a small portion
of the money has been recovered. The remainder could well be out of the country. In an ironic twist, several of the suspects
were kidnapped and held to ransom, one of these, Luis Ribeiro, was murdered and it is thought that police officers were
involved in the kidnappings.

6.4. The robbers were successful because 6.5. Which of the following is stated as a fact, not an opinion?
A. they had help from the police. A. police officers extorted money from the suspects.
B. they were all highly intelligent. B. the criminals had specialists to help them build the tunnel.
C. their neighbours weren’t curious. C. one of the robbers was killed after a kidnapping.
D. they cleverly mislead people. D. the majority of the money is no longer in Brazil.

TOO YOUNG?
‘Children are growing up too fast these days’. This has become quite a common complaint today and in a 8.1. __
it is true. Children are learning faster, using computers more quickly and even competing in sports at ever earlier ages. The
age limits for such important things like learning to drive or voting in an election are also coming down in many countries.

competitions for young children. There has always been controversy over beauty competitions but the decision of an adult
8.3. __ or not to enter a competition like this is up to that individual. What concerns many people today is that parents
encourage their very young children to dress up, wear high heels and put on make up to compete for prizes. The child often has
