Read the texts about five unusual hotels in Europe, then choose the correct texts (A-E) to answer the questions (1-9). You can use a text more than once. Write your answers in the spaces provided on the answer sheet. The first one (0) has been done for you. Hotels with a difference A Imagine a place where the rooms choose you instead of the other way around, and where you receive an iPhone instead of a room key. Well, Blow Up Hall 5050 in Poznan, Poland, is the brainchild of electronic artist Rafael Lozano Hemmer and staying there means you become part of his art show. It begins when you book a room on its website. You pick colours, pictures and numbers, and the personality that your choices reveal determines your room – including zebra stripes and all-white schemes. Throughout the hotel, there are interactive touch screens and, thanks to the hidden cameras, your image contributes to a real-time video collage in the reception area. B On a rocky headland close to the Western Fjords, Kråkenesfyr is the perfect vantage point from which to view Norway’s beautiful shore. The most sought-after room is the suite on the top floor of the lighthouse itself – a circular, panoramic perch looking out over the ocean. The other rooms occupy the former lighthouse keeper’s cottage. As massive North Atlantic waves buffet the shore down below, it’s easy to imagine the loneliness of the lighthouse keeper’s existence. But lighthouses are a call to refuge from the elements. Warm tones and Scandinavian pinewood furnishings transform a stay here into a splendid experience of windswept isolation perfectly suited to this wild coast. C Not many contemporary art galleries let you crawl inside your chosen masterpiece, but that is effectively what happens at Copenhagen’s Hotel Fox. The rooms are the work of 21 internationally renowned graphic artists and illustrators, and the dramatic results range from comic-book chic to faux fin-de-siècle creations. Far from the enervating anonymity of so many hotels, every single room in Hotel Fox has its own identity and name. Room 206 is called Ecstasy and is dominated by a sultry, wall-high, raven-haired siren. Just down the hall, Room 202 – You Are a Baby – sends you back to your childhood playpen with a baby bedspread, a hanging mobile and bright primary colours. Then there is Room 409, which is called Heidi and is an over-the-top homage to rural Swiss life, complete with antlers, and Room 504 on the next floor up has a boxing theme. 2 LESEN E HT 2012/13 HUM LESEN E HT 2012/13 HUM D It Dmust be difficult living in the shadow of the world’s most famous vampire, but the owner of Count Kálnoky’s Tibor offthe with aplomb.

Read the text in which Susan Ward gives advice about worry-free vacations for small business owners. Parts of the text have been removed. Choose the correct part (A-K) for each gap (17-24). There are two extra parts that you should not use. Write your answers in the spaces provided on the answer sheet. The first one (0) has been done for you. Small Business Owners and Vacations Small business owners are notorious for not taking vacations. In fact, according to a survey on vacation time commissioned by Sam's Club, nearly 50% of small business owners (0) ___. In my own poll that asks how much vacation time you take, almost a quarter of respondents (24%) say that they take only a day off here and there. And even those small business owners who do take time off tend to find that a worry-free vacation is out of the question. According to a vacation survey by American Express OPEN Small Business Monitor, two out of three entrepreneurs worry while on vacation, about everything from missed business opportunities (Q17) ___. Throw in worries about the economy and ever-rising fuel and energy costs, and it's no wonder that so many small business people are reluctant to take some downtime. But as Alice Bredin, American Express OPEN small business advisor, says, "For all of us and especially entrepreneurs, a vacation even if downscaled, (Q18) ___; especially when times are stressful." So what can we do to get the worry-free vacation time we need to keep ourselves and our small businesses thriving? Basically, there are three vacation options. 1) Close the Shop One popular option for small business owners is (Q19) ___. For instance, a local bakery has a history of being closed for the month of January while its husband and wife owners take a vacation in warmer climes. Closing down a service business for a brief period of time (Q20) ___; it's basically a matter of not scheduling appointments/commitments during a particular period of time and letting clients know that you're going to be away in advance. Closing your business temporarily to take a vacation works well as a worry-free vacation plan for some because it eliminates so many of the things we small business owners can't stop worrying about while we're gone. Employees can’t slack off, for instance, if they're not there. However, I don't generally recommend closing your business as a vacation solution for two reasons; closed businesses don't bring in any money and being closed (Q21) ___ who can’t wait to take their business elsewhere. 6 LESEN E HT 2012/13 HUM LESEN E HT 2012/13 HUM 2) Take Your Business with You LESEN E HT 2012/13 HUM 2) Take Your Business with You Many small business owners are able to (Q22) ___ and take their small businesses with them when – a great wayare to able get atoworry-free long as you can workwith remotely Many they smalltravel business owners (Q22) ___vacation. and takeAs their small businesses them 2) Take Your Business with You and are vacationing in places with adequate technological resources (reliable electricity and when they travel – a great way to get a worry-free vacation.

Did you know Oxfam has helped more than 17 million people in 62 countries in the last year? According to our latest report, Oxfam’s work responding to emergencies such as the Haiti and Indonesia earthquakes, the typhoon in south-east Asia and conflict in Sri Lanka, as well as development and campaigning work, has helped millions, despite an extra 50 million people being driven into extreme poverty because of the global economic crisis. Highlights of Oxfam’s work this year show: - 8 million people have received water, sanitation and hygiene support - 1 million people have received food assistance - 740,000 received cash grants - 435,000 received shelter - 140,000 received livestock - An estimated 12 million people took part in campaigns Barbara Stocking, our Chief Executive, said, “We thank the British public. Despite belts being tightened at home the British are still leading the way when it comes to generosity.” “There is a sense of us having survived a difficult year but there is still a huge amount to do. We’re operating in the midst of a recession, a global food crisis and the effects of climate change are hitting poor people hard now – if anything our ambition needs to grow.” 8 LESEN E HT 2012/13 HUM LESEN E HT 2012/13 HUM The good news is that funds have continued to come in despite the recession.
