  Sheep came to Iceland with the Viking settlers and quickly proved their worth not only for their meat but also for their wool and skins. Living conditions were very basic and especially in the cold and dark winter months. Sheep helped keep the settlers .
  These Icelandic sheep have two types of fleece – an outer, weatherproof and water-repellent and a soft, warm fleece close to the skin. Combined, they warm clothing for farmers, seamen, adults, children and babies for centuries. Making sweaters has become a tradition in farmhouses, cottages and houses around the country.
  In 1977, a group of women formed The Handknitting Association of Iceland, establishing standards and for the production that was – and still is, an important supplement to many family . Shortly thereafter, they opened a shop to sell their members’ woollen goods.
  In today’s globalised society, it is incredibly difficult to be sure you a genuine article, rather than one made with wool without the characteristics that Icelandic wool so special for hundreds of years.
  The Handknitting Association’s shop only genuine Iceland wool and clothing made by professional Icelandic knitters, so you can be certain you are getting the true, well-made product. Their motto from the beginning has been ‘Buy directly from the people who make them’.
  Walking into the shop, one cannot help but at the skill and productivity of these ladies – and some men, too. Every item has that sense of that only handmade items carry.
  The world of knitting has changed dramatically since the association . A few decades ago, the designs took the form of the ‘lopapeysa’ or sweater, with its distinctively shaped , which has become so popular worldwide. Nowadays numerous young Icelandic designers have also turned their attention to wool as a of choice for their fashion designs, in new products, styles and colours. Today there is a wide range of items in sizes to everyone from a farmer to a pretty fashion model or a baby. The store is a centre for selling the finished products as well as for supplying the wool and all the required to make woollen items. That includes for example the patterns, wool, and needles, not just the clothing. Icelandic wool very well and it is not for people to keep sweaters for many years and for them to still look fresh.

  Corsica’s single-track railway is a great way for visitors to explore the island. In Corsica, trains are known as U Trinighellu and tourists enjoy travelling by them, mainly because of listening to the language of the local people, not for the comfort it can offer.
  The dialect and the words are Corsican, but the feeling is universe , U Trinighellu means The Shaker, and that’s what this convenience , narrow railway train does: it shakes the passengers during the whole, slow trip of 85 miles between Corsica’s largest cities, Bastia and Ajaccio. Even though travelling by car is the best way to visit Mediterranean island’s most beauty spots and bays, an adventurous ride on The Shaker is a perfect introduce to the mentality of pleasantly courage Corsicans.
  The railway was built towards the end of the nineteenth century, in an attempt by the French government in Paris to further tight its grip on the freedom-loving Corsicans. By linking the two strategy most important cities (situated on the northern and western coasts) they gained accessible to Corsica’s first sovereign capital, Corte – otherwise hard to captive , situated as it is in the heart of the interior.
  Thanks to the huge popularity of these uncomfortable trains, cars are occasion spotted, occupied by small groups of backpacking tourists and locals on their way home from town.

  The atmosphere is perfect for anyone wanting to experience a spreading, alternative, and half-crazy metropolis.
  Berlin is a teenager going through puberty. That’s one way to describe one of Europe’s most exciting cities in a sentence. With a rough and rebellious appearance, but a heart of gold, Berlin Berlin has become home to cultural workers from all over the world. Artists, authors, designers, architects, and journalists come here to try their ideas. The city is a large, creative melting pot, with art on every street corner, music everywhere, and a choice of than 2,000 cultural events a day. Berlin has something for everyone.
  In Berlin, clubs, galleries, and bars are always the move. When rents become too high they move to new places, further from the city centre. This routine is sure to last for some time, as Berlin is the largest city in Europe in terms of size. A slightly different set of rules apply those who want to explore the night-life here, compared to other large cities. You supposed to dress down, so avoid bringing your flashiest outfits. Otherwise, you will simply be let into the hottest night clubs. This is celebrities love Berlin – they get to be themselves.
  Whoever you are, you do, never ask the people you meet what they do for a living. To put it bluntly, it will not be well received. It doesn’t matter what job you do, people will join up with strangers or party the night away with the cleaning lady – as long as their personalities match. It’s they do things. “You party as if the world was about to end,” says Henrik Tidefjäard, Berlin expert and lifestyle guide.

  As I put down my spray gun, I stood back and admired my handiwork. From the brightly coloured flowers to the tall trees, my masterpiece looked just like I’d always imagined it. This was my most ambitious artwork yet. On the contrary, as always, I was only using one material to make my creations – chocolate. I’m a pastry chef and my world has revolved around the sweet stuff for more than 20 years.
  I’m the proud owner of Savour Chocolate and Patisserie School. Now I was creating Australia’s first edible chocolate garden. There were lots of leaves hanging from branches to the soil, and lots of plants popping up from the ground. I had created a wonderland with the trees standing 1.5 metres tall. Then there were life-like leaves and a field of tasty chocolate mushrooms. It wasn’t easy!
  It took a team of four people more than three months to help create the garden. We had to use 300 kilograms of dark goodness! Only after that we could use moulds and carving tools to create the perfect shapes. Each piece was coloured using a spray gun filled with coloured chocolate to give a matt or shiny effect. It was hard work, but the result was great. This wasn’t my first attempt at doing something wild with the sweet stuff.
  Just a few years earlier, I competed in the World Pastry Championships in Las Vegas. I’ve loved working with chocolate since my childhood. I also entered the Pastry Olympics in Germany, where I took home a gold medal. I had to train for two months doing time trials. It was just like training for the actual Olympics, but definitely in a much softer way. I’ve also just returned from the World Chocolate Masters. I tasted all the delicious treats there.,

- Part 2: The History of Anti-Doping (6 points)

  ,
  ,
  ,(a)Ancient Greek athletes are known to have used special diets and stimulants to strengthen themselves. Strychnine, caffeine, cocaine, and alcohol were often used by cyclists and other endurance athletes in the 19 century. Thomas Hicks ran to victory in the marathon at the 1904 Olympic Games, in St. Louis, with the help of raw egg, injections of strychnine and doses of brandy administered to him during the race.,
  ,
  ,(b)In 1928 the IAAF (athletics) became the first International Sport Federation (IF) to ban doping, but no tests were performed. Meanwhile the problem was made worse by synthetic hormones, invented in the 1930s and in their growing use for doping purposes from the 1950s. The death of Danish cyclist Knud Enemark Jensen during competition at the Olympic Games in Rome 1960 (the autopsy revealed traces of amphetamine) increased the pressure on sports authorities to introduce drug testing with the purpose of stopping it.,
  ,
  ,(c)In 1966 FIFA (football) was among the first IFs to introduce doping tests in its World Championships. In the next year the International Olympic Committee (IOC) instituted its Medical Commission and set up its first list of prohibited substances. Drug tests were later introduced at the Olympic Games in Grenoble and at the Olympic Games in Mexico in 1968. In the year before, the urgency of anti-doping work had been highlighted by another tragic death, that of cyclist Tom Simpson during the Tour de France.,
  ,
  ,(d)Most IFs had introduced drug testing by the 1970s. However, the use of anabolic steroids was becoming widespread, especially in strength events, as there was no way of detecting them yet. A reliable testing method was finally introduced in 1974 and the IOC added anabolic steroids to its list of prohibited substances in 1976. This resulted in a marked increase in the number of doping-related disqualifications in the late 1970s, notably in strength-related sports such as throwing events and weightlifting.,
  ,
  ,(e)Anti-doping work was made more complicated in the 1970s and 1980s by suspicions of state sponsored doping practices in some countries, which were proven in the case of the former German Democratic Republic. The most famous doping case of the 1980s concerned Ben Johnson, the 100-metre champion who tested positive for stanozolol (an anabolic steroid) at the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul. Johnson’s case focused the world’s attention on the problem of doping to an unprecedented degree.,
- Part 3: Kate Middleton (7 points)
  
  ANJ_B2_Ukazka_9.PNG
  ,
  ,Kate Middleton was born Catherine Elizabeth Middleton on January 9, 1982, in Berkshire, England, to pilot Michael and flight attendant Carole Middleton. Kate came from a humble family of miners and builders. Her maternal grandmother, Dorothy Goldsmith, became the first member of the family to try to improve the family’s social and economic status. Dorothy pushed her children to aim high and, as a result, Kate’s mother became an airline hostess – at that time, a glamorous job. It was on this job that Carole met her future husband.
  By the time Kate was born, her mother was already looking for new ways to climb the social ladder. In 1987, Kate’s mother founded her own mail-order party goods company, with ambitions of sending her children to private schools. The business was a surprise success, eventually making the Middleton family multi-millionaires.
  As a result of this new-found income, Kate and her siblings didn’t want for much. Kate attended exclusive boarding schools, including St. Andrew’s Prep School, Down House, and Marlborough College, but her time at boarding school did not come without its conflicts. Kate left the exclusive Down House all-girls boarding school at the age of 13, due to bullying from other students there. She continued at co-educational Marlborough, where she did well in her studies, passing eleven GCSEs and three A-level exams.
  In 2001, Kate became a student at the University of St Andrews in Fife, Scotland – the first in her family to attend college. In her first year at the university, she was placed in the same building as Prince William of Wales. Kate and Prince William shared several classes in their course schedule as well, and soon became friends. But while they often shared breakfast and walked to classes together, the two were not interested in each other romantically at first. Kate was dating senior Rupert Finch, and William was busy dealing with the press and struggling with his feelings about his new school.
  However, in 2002, Kate appeared in an exclusive fashion show wearing a revealing dress. William was also present at the charity event, and became intrigued and interested in Kate in a new way. He attempted to engage her romantically that evening but, still in a relationship with Finch, Kate rejected the future king’s advances.,
