True False (It’s a very genuine, attractive smile.) False (It’s very funny.) True False (You have a neutral expression that doesn’t give away your feelings.) 14 1 aggression 2 positive attitude 3 fake 4 grimacing / making faces 5 uncool 6 hilarious 7 giggles 8 grin Track 02 Daniel I’m definitely a smiler, but to be honest, often the reason I smile is because I know that it’s very effective in social interaction. I’m a social worker and I often find myself dealing with people who have real anger problems ... you know, they sit there scowling and sneering with a face like thunder and I can’t be aggressive back. With people like that, smiling’s a really important signal, it shows you have a positive attitude to them. And it’s contagious – if the smile’s genuine, people smile back at you. It can really lift a situation. I smile a lot in my personal life, too – it’s become a habit! Monica I don’t smile a lot. I’m a very serious, driven person and pretty successful – I run a large company. Actually, I’m somewhat suspicious of people who smile a lot, I see it as a sign of insecurity and insincerity. You know, because I’m in a position of power, people have this tendency to lick my boots, and I really dislike it. I walk into a room and everyone’s grinning and beaming and it’s all fake – they’re trying to please me because of my senior status. What I look for in people is sincerity and authenticity. Having said that, of course I smile sometimes – I’m only human! Ali I’m extremely shy; in fact, I suffer from social anxiety. In other words, I’m very over-anxious and self-conscious when I’m with other people, particularly groups of people. I know I frown too much and I often find myself grimacing or making faces, which is really embarrassing. I just can’t help it, it’s terrible! I’m actually on a course now that’s helping me deal with my problem, and one of the things I’m doing, believe it or not, is practising smiling. I do it in front of the mirror. It’s helping. I can actually 2

Answer key

smile at people now with genuine warmth, instead of shaking like a leaf. Will I used to be very antisocial as a teenager. Smile? No way, I saw it as uncool. It’s hilarious when I look at old photos of myself. I’m either smirking at some private joke or pouting grumpily, but now, yeah, I have no problem with smiling. In fact, I’m embarrassed to say it, but people even tell me I have a really special smile. Someone told me last week I have the kind of smile that lights up a room. I didn’t know what to say. Secretly, I was very flattered, of course. Who doesn’t want to have a great smile? Robina As a comedian, my job is to make people laugh. Off stage, I hate to say, I’m very giggly and silly, I’m a bit of a schoolgirl in that respect. But when I first started out in this job and was experimenting with my persona, I found I got more laughs from the audience if I didn’t smile. You know how, if you say something funny with a straight face, people find it hilarious. Anyway, it’s very much part of my act now – telling jokes with a deadpan expression. But I have to admit that sometimes it’s a struggle and I end up with a big grin on my face.

But on the other hand, a crazy teacher would have been very amusing.

3 Musk oxen give off a powerful odour during the mating season. 4 Whales and dolphins blow water out through a blowhole in the top of their heads. 5 Sea otters wrap themselves in kelp to stop them drifting away on the current. 6 Mammals such as polar bears and Arctic foxes give birth to cubs. 7 Animals such as seals and walruses are called ‘semi-aquatic’ because they can survive both in the water and on land. 8 Whales and seals have a thick layer of blubber to keep them warm. 11 1 fascinating (Fascinating means ‘extremely interesting’.

Listening 14 1 Royal Python 2 Emperor Scorpion 3 hornets 15 1 False (The exotic pets the speaker talks about are Royal Pythons, Emperor Scorpions, crocodiles and chimpanzees.) 2 True 3 False (Emperor Scorpions are shiny and black with big, scary-looking front claws.) 4 True 5 False (The upper bodies of chimpanzees are five times as strong as a human’s upper body.) 16 1 b 2 b 3 a 4 c 5 a 17 1 crocodile 2 chimpanzees 3 Emperor Scorpions 4 crocodiles 5 chimpanzees Track 04 Do you fancy keeping a python as a pet? Lovely, cuddly creatures, aren’t they, and you can hang them round your neck just like a very large necklace. Or how about a crocodile? Not quite as cuddly as a python, perhaps, but bound to be quite a talking point round the dinner table. And then there’s scorpions – there’s quite a demand in the exotic-pet market for them too, while chimpanzees are a real status symbol for their owners. These are all wild creatures, and apart from chimpanzees, they all have a dangerous reputation ... but this doesn’t seem to put people off, strange though it may seem to the rest of us. To people with a fear of snakes, one of the most common phobias, the idea of actually choosing to have a python, a creature that squeezes its prey to death, slithering about anywhere near you seems as incomprehensible as putting your head in a hornets’ nest. But there are people who find snakes beautiful, interesting creatures, and for them, one type of snake, the Royal Python, is a popular choice. It’s non-venomous and it is a docile, even timid creature that tends to curl up in a ball if it feels threatened. Royal Pythons can grow up to 1.5 metres in length, but despite their size, they’re easy to look after and a good choice for people

new to snake-keeping. Perhaps it’s the appearance of Emperor Scorpions that makes them attractive as pets, who knows? They’re shiny and black, with big, scary-looking front claws, and are one of the most common types of scorpion kept as pets. At up to eight inches in length, they’re one of the largest scorpion species in the world, and though, like Royal Pythons, they are basically docile creatures, if they sting you, you’ll certainly know it. Still, that doesn’t seem to deter some people from keeping them. Crocodiles are another matter, however, being extremely dangerous creatures, with a nasty habit of leaping out of rivers and pouncing on unsuspecting passers-by. People buy them as babies and are surprised when they grow into huge creatures capable of taking off an arm in one bite. Nonetheless, there are credible stories of crocodiles becoming tame enough to wander around people’s houses ... gulp! Compared to crocodiles, chimpanzees are a dream as household pets, and so similar to humans that their owners form lasting bonds with them, often grieving after their death as if for a child. Researchers agree that chimps experience mental as well as physical pain and enjoy physical and social contact and even laughter – just like humans. But you still need to think hard before choosing a chimp as a pet – their upper body strength is about five times that of a human and they can attack without warning.
