My Love of Traveling by Sam Harris
I grew up in Australia and was introduced to traveling at an early age. We
moved around a lot because
of my father’s work. My main hobby was radios - I repaired old sets and listened
to various programs from around
the world. I had a map of the world on my bedroom wall with pins on it
and I wrote postcards to foreign radio stations.
I was an only child and I
didn’t have many friends; instead I tried to contact the outside world. We
didn’t have a television, so what I learned came from the radio and from encyclopedias. By the age of 13, I could draw maps of countries from memory and name all the capital cities.
I didn’t actually leave Australia until I was twenty-five, when I went on a long trip through Asia. I arrived in Thailand thinking
I was well prepared,
but in fact, I knew little about its rich culture. Then I went to India,
where my taste for adventure and different experiences grew. Every city there was different; there were cows on the streets, old cars, interesting food,
and people everywhere.
I went from country
to country without realizing how dangerous some of them
were at that time. There was very little advice available.
But now it’s different - you can learn
so much from the internet and just about everywhere you go, you’ll find an internet
café. It’s really changed
the way people travel.
The things I now like most about a trip are eating
and shopping. I also love sitting on trains and talking to different people.
I’m sure I’ll never get bored
with traveling, even though I’ve explored most
countries in the world.

CRISTOPHER COLUMBUS
read the passage and answer the questions.
Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa, Italy in 1451. His career in
exploration started when he was very young. As a teenager he traveled the seas
and eventually made Portugal his base. He appealed to the kings of Portugal,
France and England to finance a westward trip to the Indies, but all denied his
request. After ten years of monumental efforts but fruitless results, King
Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain agreed to finance Columbus in the hopes of
acquiring great wealth. On August 3, 1492, Columbus and three ships, the Nina,
Pinta, and Santa Maria, left Palos, Spain and headed westward.
After stopping in the Canary Islands off the coast of Africa, Columbus' ships hit the open seas. Covering about 150 miles a day, the trip was long and arduous. The crew was afraid of sea monsters and grew more restless every day land was not sighted. Columbus offered a reward for the first person to sight land. On October 12, a crew member aboard the Pinta sighted one of the Bahama Islands. Columbus set foot on what he believed was one of the Spice Islands, a group of islands in Asia (now known as Indonesia), where valuable spices and riches came from. He named the land San Salvador. Columbus failed to find the riches he expected, and continued to search for China. He next visited Cuba and Hispaniola (Dominican Republic). He encountered native peoples who he named "Indians" because he believed they were inhabitants of the Indies.
Columbus returned to Spain a hero. He was named viceroy of the Indies. He soon returned to the New World but never found the riches he expected. Some began to believe that Columbus had found "a new world" rather that a shortcut to the Indies.
Christopher Columbus made one of the greatest discoveries in the history of the world - North America. Though he probably wasn't the first explorer to see the continent, and he believed until his death that the islands he encountered were in the Asian continent, his discoveries were instrumental in the establishment of Spanish colonies in North America. Today, we celebrate Columbus Day in October to commemorate his discoveries.

US HISTORY
As far as we know, until the early sixteenth century no European person had ever set foot on
the huge area of land that is now the United States of America. However, the territory had
been home to a large population of Native Americans for thousands of years.
The first European settlement in North America was St Augustine, established by Spanish
settlers in 1565 in what is now the state of Florida. Further north, the first
settlement built by colonists from England was Jamestown (named after the English king at
the time) in the state of Virginia, established in 1607. There were lots of conflicts between
English settlers and the indigenous population in seventeenth-century; Most of them caused
by the fact that the settlers wanted to take the land in order to raise animals and grow crops.
As the settlers moved inland, the Native Americans were pushed to the west – a process
that would continue for another 250 years.Britain established a total of thirteen colonies in
North America in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In the late eighteenth century,
however, these colonies began to want to break away from Britain, a desire that led to the
American War of Independence (1775-1783). On 4th July 1776 the colonies declared that they
were a separate country called the United States, and on 17th September 1787, four years after
victory in the war, the political leaders of the new country finished writing its constitution.
From the very beginning, the government of the United States wanted to be different from
the monarchies that existed in Europe, aiming to rule in a more democratic way.
The white settlers moved west and south throughout the nineteenth century. The United States
incorporated Texas in 1845 and, following a war with Mexico, California and New Mexico in
1848.

A CIRCUS WITH A DIFFERENCE!
I’ve got a brilliant job. I work in a circus –but it isn’t a traditional circus because it hasn’t got animals.
It’s “the Cirque du Soleil”. This means “Circus of the Sun” in English. Cirque employs about 650
artists from 40 different countries but you don’t have to be an artist to work for this company. It
also employs about 3,500 people in its different jobs –from carpenters to hairdressers.
My job is to help my boss, Joe find new artists for the shows. He’s called a talent scout –and I’m assistant.
We have to find talented new acrobats and clowns, so we travel a lot and meet a lot of people. The
people we want don’t have to be famous but they have to be excellent performers and book hotels.
I plan their training and put their information on the computer. I have to speak good French, too,
because the Cirque du Soleil is a French –speaking company from Montreal, Canada.
My job is never boring and I love it. I make a good living and it’s very exciting to travel and work with
people from many different countries.

There is not just one kind of salsa. There are several –at least three. There are even those

mean several things. In its strictest sense, salsa is the Afro-caribbean music, which based
on some Cuban and Puerto Rican genres –like son, guaguanco, plena, bomba and
others –was created in New York in the late 60’s and 70’s with orchestral innovations. In
its international sense, salsa comprises all Afro-Caribbean dance music. In other words,

MOMOTARO, THE PEACH BOY
Once upon a time, there was an old couple in the countryside. They had always lived
alone. One day, the old lady went down to the river to wash her clothes. While she was
doing this, she saw something that apparently had been floating on the water for a long
time. It was a beautiful, huge peach. The old lady took the peach and went happily to
the house to show her husband what she had found. The old man was delighted and
wanted to eat the peach, but as soon as he tried to cut it, it broke in half and a baby
boy came out of the peach. They were very happy, and the boy became the joy of the
old couple. He was called Momotaro, the Peach boy. Momotaro was also the strongest
kid on Earth. He grew up and became a fine young man. He had always been happy until
one day he heard that some demons were attacking the town. He decided to go and
fight them. The old man gave him his sword. The old lady gave him: millet cakes. And

and a pheasant. With their abilities combined, they fought and defeated the demons.

of gratitude for letting him live. The demons stopped attacking the town and went to

MUSIC, SOUL OF PEOPLE
Since ancient times, humankind has attached music to the search of spirituality and magic.
In Greek mythology, Orpheus musician and singer, was attributed to have supernatural and
magical powers. He descended to the very hell where he spellbound the gods with his music
and voice. In the same way, there are Greek myths that relate how mermaids, beautiful
half-human, half-fish women, enchanted sailors with their melancholic melodies. For other
cultures, music was a gift from the gods as well.
12 12
Egyptians and Semitic people used music to access visible and invisible worlds, which in
return, permitted them to heal the body and mind from illnesses. In the oral tradition of
the American native cultures music was and is still used as a central element of their rites.
They use drums and chants to summon the spirits of war, peace, fertility and healing. In a
similar manner, in the African continent, music is at the heart of African’s most profound
religious beliefs. Shamans used music to induce altered states of consciousness in order to
communicate with the spirits of nature. For the ancient Hindus, the sitar, a musical instrument
similar to the harp, had the power to attach emotions to the cosmos because Hindus believed
the sitar was tuned at the same frequency in which the earth spins around the sun.

Since I was a kid, I got contact with fairy tales. I was born in Dublin, but I used to visit my cousin
George, who lived in a town called Rosses in Country Sligo. Everyone in this country believed fairies
lived in their backyards. So in all my visits I used to listen to folklore and faire tales of all kinds: sagas
of legendary heroes, personal accounts of encounters with fairies, anecdotes about local characters
and a variety of tales full of magic. As I was eager to know more about fairies, I spent most of my
youth collecting and writing down these stories. One day in 1892, a day that I will never forget, I had
the luck to make contact with this magical realm. That day I had gone to a great fairy locality –a
cave by the Rosses sands- with an uncle and a cousin who was believed by the neighbors and herself
to have narrowly escaped capture in this perilous land one time. Once there, I decided to make a
magical circle and invoke the fairies. My uncle –a hard headed man of about 47 – heard voices like
those of boys shouting and distant music but saw nothing. My cousin, however, saw a bright light and
a multitude of little forms clad in crimson.
He also heard the music and the far voices. And I, at first, heard a great sound like little people
cheering and stamping with their feet inside the core of a stone. Then, as in a dream, I could see the
queen of the troops coming toward me. We held a long conversation about things I can not reveal,
