I A short history of tattooing


Tattoos, _1_ some people call “body art”, have become more and more popular in recent years. In _2_ of the
pain caused by having a needle make hundreds of holes in their skin, millions of people _3_ vary widely in
age and background are nowadays having their bodies decorated with in in all kinds of ways.
Many of today’s young people, _4_ parents were the first generation to experiment with tattoos, see it as a
way of expressing their individuality, and in _5_ to do this, they are constantly looking for new styles and
designs. _6_ to this increasing demand, tattoo studios have appeared in many towns and villages.
_7_ people tend to think of it as a modern practice, tattooing has in fact been around for a long time. There is
evidence of tattoos being worn in Siberia over 4,000 years ago, as _8_ as in Ancient Egypt at that time, and
it is thought to have existed in japan 10,000 years ago. Even _9_, it was not until the late 18 th century, _10_
Captain Hames Cook sailed to Polynesia, that Europeans took an interest.
It was on the island of Tahiti, _11_ tattooing had an important role in society, that Cook and his crew
first saw tattooed men and women, and _12_ of that, the English word comes from the Tahitian word tatau.
Ever since then, sailors have had tattoos done, often _13_ show the distant places they have visited.

II How the Tour de France began


The very first Tour de France, the greatest cycle race _1_ the world, was held in1903.It began when two
French journalists, Henri Dessgrange and Géo Lefèvre, came _2_ with the idea of a race right round the
country, _3_ that had never been tried anywhere before.
Nowadays we might think the aim of _4_ an idea would be to bring in lots of television money, or even
tourists, but at the beginning of the twentieth century what they wanted to do _5_ sell more copies of their
newspaper. And they succeeded. Circulation figures, _6_ had ben 25,000 went to 65,000 within a year, and
on to half a million by 1923.
The reporters were inf act quite closely involved in organising the race, and Desgrange would go _7_ to
remain Tour Director from 1903 right up to 1939. Even _8_, their initial design for the race changed in
several important ways before the first one was run. For instance, they had intended _9_ to be held over five
weeks, but such a long race was just too much for most riders and very _10_ wanted to take part.
So it became half _11_ length, and it would be run entirely in July _12_ than from late May to early July. As,
however, it would still go right round France, the distance travelled each day would be much longer, with
cyclists sometimes _13_ to ride at night.

III Diving in the Red Sea


The Red Sea coast of Egypt is surely one of the best places _1_ the world to go underwater diving. Its hot
sunny climate and clear warm water make it the ideal place for beginners as _2_as for experienced divers, at
any time of the year.
_3_ over fifty diving centres in the area, many different types of diving are possible. At centres for complete
beginners there are training courses _4_ include simple dives with a qualified instructor. These dives _5_
them used to being underwater and teach some basic skills _6_ as swimming and breathing below the
surface.
More experienced divers can choose _7_ a vast range of possible activities and many of these can be
enjoyed _8_ as part of a group or, if they prefer, alone. Some like to explore the coast of the National park,
where the steep cliffs extend underwater to a depth _9_ more than seventy metres. For dives of _10_kind it
is advisable to be accompanied by a guide, on _11_ of the strong currents which can suddenly change
direction.
For really advanced divers, there are some fascinating wrecks at _12_ bottom of the Red Sea. _13_ visits to
these old ships require quite long boat trips, it is well worth gong just to see the he variety of beautiful plants
and fish down there.

IV Safe camping
Camping in the countryside is usually great fun, but sometimes things can _1_ wrong. Accidents can
happen, _2_ it is essential to think about safety both before you go and while you are there. This will prevent
your fun camping trip turning _3_ something less pleasant.
Firstly, you need to plan ahead. Check out the weather forecast a few days _4_ advance and watch out for
any reports of fires in the area you are thinking _5_ going to. Prepare an emergency kit in _6_ you or anyone
with you has an accident or illness while you are there.
Choose your campsite carefully, avoiding any places _7_ there is a risk of flooding. Before you put up your
tent, make _8_there are no sharp objects on the ground, or ants or wasps’ nests nearby.
In _9_ to keep insects out of the tent, close it whenever you go in or out. If you need a camp fire for cooking,
be careful _10_ to build it anywhere near your tent, and before you go to bed, remember to put it _11_
completely, preferably with lots of water.
After meals, pick up any bits of food that _12_ be left on the ground, as these can attract insects – or larger
creatures. It also makes sense, for _13_ same reason, to keep unused food in closed containers well away
from the camp. You don’t want a hungry bear of other animal suddenly appearing in your tent!
