HOUSES ON WHEELS

A. Hundreds of San Franciscans lined the streets on Sunday with phones ready to snap
a photo of a unique procession slowly making its way through the city. “Ladies and
gentlemen, please stand on the sidewalk. There’s a house coming down the street,”
a police loudspeaker warned the crowds. The two-storey Victorian building, known as
the Englander House, existed more than a century in the heart of San Francisco. But for
years it had stood empty and was in need of extensive repair. As the city suffers from
a housing shortage1, the authorities decided to build a block of flats in its place.

B. Instead of demolishing the beautiful building, a specialist team lifted it off its foundations,
put it on wheels, and pulled it to a new location six blocks away. To make sure everything
went as smoothly as possible, parking meters and traffic signs along the route had to be
removed for a day. The hardest part of the journey was when the massive building had to
go downhill. The six-bedroom house travelled slowly down the road with excited
observers following behind. It was the first time a Victorian house had been relocated in
50 years, but it was certainly not the first time ever.

C. Relocating houses is a little-known part of San Francisco’s history. As far back as 1886,
Mark Twain chronicled a similar move for the local newspaper. “Last night an old house
moved down Sutter Street towards Montgomery,” he wrote. The scene described by
Twain may seem strange, but it was quite a common sight at the time. San Francisco’s
houses, built almost entirely of redwood2, were light in comparison to brick houses.
The 1900 edition of the city’s business directory listed nine companies offering to move
a home to a new address.

Strona 4 z 18 MJAP-R0-700

D. The city’s most famous move – and probably its biggest – happened in the 1970s, when
a redevelopment agency set out to clear an entire community and build new housing that
would attract wealthy residents. More than 4,000 families had to leave their homes and
roughly 2,500 Victorian homes were torn down. But 12 were saved from destruction. Due
to local residents’ anger over the Victorian buildings being destroyed, the agency agreed
to auction the 12 houses and transport them out of the area. “It was like moving a group
of giant elephants,” said a witness to the event.

POLAR BEAR TOWN

Churchill is a small town in Canada, situated on the shore of Hudson Bay and swept by
the Northern winds. 2.1. _____ There they hunt for seals after the bay freezes over and
the ice becomes strong enough to support their weight. Over the years, the bears’ seasonal
presence has earned Churchill the nickname of the Polar Bear Capital of the World.

For more than three decades, Dennis Compayre, a native of Churchill, has been a guide for
photographers and filmmakers who want to see the bears. He has become known as
“the bear man”, due to his work with the bears and his ability to relate to them. 2.2. _____
“There was always a fierce polar bear in the back of my mind, even when I played ball and
ran around the town with my friends,” Compayre explains.

Today, Churchill’s bear population is far bigger than its human population. Only about
900 permanent residents live in the town. 2.3. _____ It eventually closed in 1980. Back then,
there was no such thing as an organized tour group to see the bears. The only tourists who
visited Churchill were bird watchers and those who came up to see the whales.

Fortunately, polar bear-related businesses grew year by year. Len Smith, a local mechanic,
built the first motorized vehicle that would allow groups to travel out safely to see the bears.
Although he was still scared of bears, Dennis agreed to serve as both driver and guide. In
the beginning, tourists would be lucky if they saw 10 bears, at the most. 2.4. _____ It was
a unique opportunity to observe so many of them in one place.

Today, about 10,000 tourists visit Churchill annually during the five-to-six-week “bear
season”. But the reasons they come are not the same as when Dennis started. “Years back,
people came to Churchill excited to catch a glimpse of these majestic creatures,” he says.
“Everyone had such a good time observing polar bears. But things have changed. 2.5. _____
Sadly, now our promotional slogan is: ‘Come and see the bears before it’s too late.’ ”

Strona 6 z 18 MJAP-R0-700

A. When Dennis was growing up, it was inhabited by 7,000 people and most of them were
associated in one way or another with the joint Canada – United States military fort
located five miles east of the town.

B. As the Hudson Bay population of bears is gradually shrinking, when tourists view them
nowadays, they start to fear for their well-being in the future.

C. The animals were a bit nervous as they’d never seen people before, but with time, they
got used to regular visits. People on the tour could expect to see 20 or even 30 polar
bears at a time.

D. This minor change in climate has considerably influenced the seasons in Churchill, and
with it, the animal migrations. For visitors, that means adjusting their travel plans
accordingly.

E. But he wasn’t always so close to these inspiring yet often unpredictable creatures. In fact,
when he was a boy, polar bears absolutely terrified him.

F. It might be just another dot on the map if it weren’t for its seasonal four-legged residents.
Every autumn, hundreds of polar bears walk through the town, on their way to the bay.

POLAR BEAR TOWN

Churchill is a small town in Canada, situated on the shore of Hudson Bay and swept by
the Northern winds. 2.1. _____ There they hunt for seals after the bay freezes over and
the ice becomes strong enough to support their weight. Over the years, the bears’ seasonal
presence has earned Churchill the nickname of the Polar Bear Capital of the World.

For more than three decades, Dennis Compayre, a native of Churchill, has been a guide for
photographers and filmmakers who want to see the bears. He has become known as
“the bear man”, due to his work with the bears and his ability to relate to them. 2.2. _____
“There was always a fierce polar bear in the back of my mind, even when I played ball and
ran around the town with my friends,” Compayre explains.

Today, Churchill’s bear population is far bigger than its human population. Only about
900 permanent residents live in the town. 2.3. _____ It eventually closed in 1980. Back then,
there was no such thing as an organized tour group to see the bears. The only tourists who
visited Churchill were bird watchers and those who came up to see the whales.

Fortunately, polar bear-related businesses grew year by year. Len Smith, a local mechanic,
built the first motorized vehicle that would allow groups to travel out safely to see the bears.
Although he was still scared of bears, Dennis agreed to serve as both driver and guide. In
the beginning, tourists would be lucky if they saw 10 bears, at the most. 2.4. _____ It was
a unique opportunity to observe so many of them in one place.

Today, about 10,000 tourists visit Churchill annually during the five-to-six-week “bear
season”. But the reasons they come are not the same as when Dennis started. “Years back,
people came to Churchill excited to catch a glimpse of these majestic creatures,” he says.
“Everyone had such a good time observing polar bears. But things have changed. 2.5. _____
Sadly, now our promotional slogan is: ‘Come and see the bears before it’s too late.’ ”

THE DUSTY WORLD OF BOOKS

Grace arrived at Primrose Hill Books at ten minutes to eight. Mr Evans was behind the
counter and didn’t bother to look up at the ding of the bell. “Good morning, Miss Bennett,”
he said in a bored voice.
Grace smiled at him, “Good morning, Mr Evans. I truly appreciate you giving me
the opportunity to work in your shop.”
“I don’t need help, but my wife insisted, and I finally agreed. It’s only for six months.”
Grace’s shoulders relaxed with relief. At least he wouldn’t expect her to stay for the rest of
her life.
She scanned the shop. Shelves were crowded against one another amid piles of books.
At her uncle’s shop there had been some sort of order at least. What was she to do with this
chaos? Where was she even to start? What are Mr Evans’ expectations?
She stood uncertain with her handbag on her shoulder, still wearing her hat. She cleared her
throat. “Where am I to put my things?” she asked.
“Back room,” he muttered.
“Then what would you like me to do?”
Mr Evans gave out a frustrated sigh. “I told you, I don’t need help. You can sit in the back
room or settle into a corner with a book to read. I don’t care.”
Grace nodded and moved toward the door he’d indicated. The room was narrow and poorly
lit, with an old-fashioned table and chair. Boxes lined every wall. There was nothing else but
to find something to do. So she went back into the shop and closed the door behind her.
The thick layers of dust on the shelves begged to be wiped clean. Mr Evans hadn’t
mentioned dusting1, but the shop really needed taking care of at once. Three hours later, her
white shirt was all covered in dirt, and Mr Evans glared in her direction every time she
coughed.
Several customers came and went. She took considerable care not to send dust clouds in
their direction, but still remained close enough should they require help.
An older woman approached her. “Excuse me, do you have Black Spectacles?”
Grace smiled. At least this was a question she could answer. “We don’t sell spectacles here,
I’m terribly sorry.”
The woman blinked her wide blue eyes. “It’s a book. By John Dickson Carr. I finished
The Crooked Hinge last night and want to find the next one in the series.”
Grace had two book names and a series to work with and no idea where they might be.
While cleaning, she’d tried to find some order to the layout of the books, but with no success.
“Of course.” Grace waved to the woman to follow her. “Did you find The Crooked Hinge
exciting?” she asked, trying to make out what type of book it was.

Strona 8 z 18 MJAP-R0-700

“Oh, the best kind of mystery.”
Ah, yes, a mystery. Maybe there were some located near the back. “I believe it will be
somewhere here.” Grace gazed over the spines of books, none of which were in any order,
not by title or name or even colour of the book cover.
“If I may…,” a masculine2 voice spoke from behind Grace.

NOTTING HILL

Movie enthusiasts from across the world have wandered the streets of West London in
search of the beloved travel bookshop that featured1 in the iconic 1999 film, Notting Hill.
The bookshop, which in the film was owned by Will, Hugh Grant’s character, was actually
based on The Travel Bookshop – a family-run business opened on Blenheim Crescent in
1979. The bookshop was occasionally frequented by Notting Hill director, Richard Curtis,
and it gave him the inspiration for the film. It’s not commonly known that the owner of the
bookshop refused to allow the film crew inside his store, and so its interior only provided
the model for the on-set replica of the bookshop, which was built in Shepperton Studios.
Sadly, after 32 long years in business, The Travel Bookshop fell on hard times and faced
closure in 2011. Several writers and actors launched2 a campaign to save the specialist
bookshop. The poet Olivia Cole led the way, even offering to volunteer at the bookshop.
The actor Alec Baldwin, who played Julia Roberts’ boyfriend in the film, also supported
the campaign calling for the bookshop to be saved. Yet the iconic bookshop, which helped
Notting Hill earn more than £220 million, closed for good in 2011.
However, the bookshop reappeared after being purchased3 by the Book Warehouse. It’s in
the same location, but now goes by the name of The Notting Hill Bookshop, and operates as
a regular bookshop, with a wide range of subjects and titles in stock. It also sells some
magazines, cards and calendars. Many Notting Hill fans still visit The Notting Hill Bookshop,
and some lovebirds have even chosen it as the place to ask their partners to marry them. So
although The Travel Bookshop doesn’t exist any more, its legacy of romance still lives on in
West London.

THE DUSTY WORLD OF BOOKS

Grace arrived at Primrose Hill Books at ten minutes to eight. Mr Evans was behind the
counter and didn’t bother to look up at the ding of the bell. “Good morning, Miss Bennett,”
he said in a bored voice.
Grace smiled at him, “Good morning, Mr Evans. I truly appreciate you giving me
the opportunity to work in your shop.”
“I don’t need help, but my wife insisted, and I finally agreed. It’s only for six months.”
Grace’s shoulders relaxed with relief. At least he wouldn’t expect her to stay for the rest of
her life.
She scanned the shop. Shelves were crowded against one another amid piles of books.
At her uncle’s shop there had been some sort of order at least. What was she to do with this
chaos? Where was she even to start? What are Mr Evans’ expectations?
She stood uncertain with her handbag on her shoulder, still wearing her hat. She cleared her
throat. “Where am I to put my things?” she asked.
“Back room,” he muttered.
“Then what would you like me to do?”
Mr Evans gave out a frustrated sigh. “I told you, I don’t need help. You can sit in the back
room or settle into a corner with a book to read. I don’t care.”
Grace nodded and moved toward the door he’d indicated. The room was narrow and poorly
lit, with an old-fashioned table and chair. Boxes lined every wall. There was nothing else but
to find something to do. So she went back into the shop and closed the door behind her.
The thick layers of dust on the shelves begged to be wiped clean. Mr Evans hadn’t
mentioned dusting1, but the shop really needed taking care of at once. Three hours later, her
white shirt was all covered in dirt, and Mr Evans glared in her direction every time she
coughed.
Several customers came and went. She took considerable care not to send dust clouds in
their direction, but still remained close enough should they require help.
An older woman approached her. “Excuse me, do you have Black Spectacles?”
Grace smiled. At least this was a question she could answer. “We don’t sell spectacles here,
I’m terribly sorry.”
The woman blinked her wide blue eyes. “It’s a book. By John Dickson Carr. I finished
The Crooked Hinge last night and want to find the next one in the series.”
Grace had two book names and a series to work with and no idea where they might be.
While cleaning, she’d tried to find some order to the layout of the books, but with no success.
“Of course.” Grace waved to the woman to follow her. “Did you find The Crooked Hinge
exciting?” she asked, trying to make out what type of book it was.

“Oh, the best kind of mystery.”
Ah, yes, a mystery. Maybe there were some located near the back. “I believe it will be
somewhere here.” Grace gazed over the spines of books, none of which were in any order,
not by title or name or even colour of the book cover.
“If I may…,” a masculine2 voice spoke from behind Grace.

NOTTING HILL

Movie enthusiasts from across the world have wandered the streets of West London in
search of the beloved travel bookshop that featured1 in the iconic 1999 film, Notting Hill.
The bookshop, which in the film was owned by Will, Hugh Grant’s character, was actually
based on The Travel Bookshop – a family-run business opened on Blenheim Crescent in
1979. The bookshop was occasionally frequented by Notting Hill director, Richard Curtis,
and it gave him the inspiration for the film. It’s not commonly known that the owner of the
bookshop refused to allow the film crew inside his store, and so its interior only provided
the model for the on-set replica of the bookshop, which was built in Shepperton Studios.
Sadly, after 32 long years in business, The Travel Bookshop fell on hard times and faced
closure in 2011. Several writers and actors launched2 a campaign to save the specialist
bookshop. The poet Olivia Cole led the way, even offering to volunteer at the bookshop.
The actor Alec Baldwin, who played Julia Roberts’ boyfriend in the film, also supported
the campaign calling for the bookshop to be saved. Yet the iconic bookshop, which helped
Notting Hill earn more than £220 million, closed for good in 2011.
However, the bookshop reappeared after being purchased3 by the Book Warehouse. It’s in
the same location, but now goes by the name of The Notting Hill Bookshop, and operates as
a regular bookshop, with a wide range of subjects and titles in stock. It also sells some
magazines, cards and calendars. Many Notting Hill fans still visit The Notting Hill Bookshop,
and some lovebirds have even chosen it as the place to ask their partners to marry them. So
although The Travel Bookshop doesn’t exist any more, its legacy of romance still lives on in
West London.

Grace smiled. At least this was a question she could answer. “We don’t sell spectacles here,
I’m terribly sorry.”
The woman blinked her wide blue eyes. “It’s a book. By John Dickson Carr. I finished
The Crooked Hinge last night and want to find the next one in the series.”
Grace had two book names and a series to work with and no idea where they might be.
While cleaning, she’d tried to find some order to the layout of the books, but with no success.
“Of course.” Grace waved to the woman to follow her. “Did you find The Crooked Hinge
exciting?” she asked, trying to make out what type of book it was.

“Oh, the best kind of mystery.”
Ah, yes, a mystery. Maybe there were some located near the back. “I believe it will be
somewhere here.” Grace gazed over the spines of books, none of which were in any order,
not by title or name or even colour of the book cover.
“If I may…,” a masculine2 voice spoke from behind Grace.

NOTTING HILL

Movie enthusiasts from across the world have wandered the streets of West London in
search of the beloved travel bookshop that featured1 in the iconic 1999 film, Notting Hill.
The bookshop, which in the film was owned by Will, Hugh Grant’s character, was actually
based on The Travel Bookshop – a family-run business opened on Blenheim Crescent in
1979. The bookshop was occasionally frequented by Notting Hill director, Richard Curtis,
and it gave him the inspiration for the film. It’s not commonly known that the owner of the
bookshop refused to allow the film crew inside his store, and so its interior only provided
the model for the on-set replica of the bookshop, which was built in Shepperton Studios.
Sadly, after 32 long years in business, The Travel Bookshop fell on hard times and faced
closure in 2011. Several writers and actors launched2 a campaign to save the specialist
bookshop. The poet Olivia Cole led the way, even offering to volunteer at the bookshop.
The actor Alec Baldwin, who played Julia Roberts’ boyfriend in the film, also supported
the campaign calling for the bookshop to be saved. Yet the iconic bookshop, which helped
Notting Hill earn more than £220 million, closed for good in 2011.
However, the bookshop reappeared after being purchased3 by the Book Warehouse. It’s in
the same location, but now goes by the name of The Notting Hill Bookshop, and operates as
a regular bookshop, with a wide range of subjects and titles in stock. It also sells some
magazines, cards and calendars. Many Notting Hill fans still visit The Notting Hill Bookshop,
and some lovebirds have even chosen it as the place to ask their partners to marry them. So
although The Travel Bookshop doesn’t exist any more, its legacy of romance still lives on in
West London.

1
Feature – appear.
2
Launch – start.
3
Purchase – buy.
