LINCOLN’S LOVE OF SHAKESPEARE
A. When asked about Abraham Lincoln, the 16th American president, most people think about
his assassination or his role in the Civil War and the abolition of slavery. Fewer people know
about the tragedies in his private life or his love of Shakespeare. This was one of the topics
at the prestigious Wooden O Symposium hosted by Southern Utah University, where scholars
annually present their scientific work on Shakespeare. The term Wooden O is a direct
reference to Shakespeare’s theatre, The Globe, which was a round wooden structure. Most
of the content presented at the conference is devoted to the playwright.
B. One of the speakers showed that Lincoln’s lifelong admiration for Shakespeare helped him
cope with the strain of the turbulent years of his presidency and gave him consolation1 after
his son passed away. The president memorized many lines from Shakespeare’s works, was
a keen theatregoer and became acquainted with actors, for example James Hackett, who
appeared in a production of Henry IV. Lincoln’s letter to Hackett testifies to his love of
Shakespeare. In the letter, he challenged2 the standing of the famous Hamlet monologue To
be or not to be, arguing it wasn’t as good as O, my offence is rank delivered by Claudius.
Hackett was indiscreet and had the letter printed, thus exposing Lincoln to public ridicule
because of his literary judgement.
C. This story about Lincoln, alongside more serious scholarly findings, can be found in
the Journal of the Wooden O, an annual publication featuring articles on Shakespeare and
containing selected research papers from the symposium at Southern Utah University.
Submitted articles must be peer-reviewed3. Sometimes they also undergo a second review
process. This approach means that the publication is a valuable source of accurate
information for both scholars and non-academics.

HUGH LANE PAINTING ROBBERY
Hugh Lane, a successful Irish art dealer, decided that after his death his collection of paintings
would belong to Ireland. After some time, he changed his mind and left everything to London’s
prestigious Tate Gallery instead. However, shortly before he died in 1915, he made yet another
will1 which indicated that a gallery in Dublin should own his collection. As nobody witnessed
the signing of the last will, the English court refused to recognize it as a legal document, and
the paintings remained in England. 2.1. _____ Yet, it was all in vain2.
In 1956, two Irish citizens decided to do something about it. On April 12th, they stole an
Impressionist painting, Summer’s Day, from the Hugh Lane collection in the Tate Gallery.
2.2. _____ The former was a frequent visitor to the gallery, so he was a familiar figure. While
he pretended to be making a copy of the painting on a sketchpad, his accomplice lifted it off the
wall and put it inside a large portfolio they had brought with them. Next, they left the gallery
using the front door. The whole point of the robbery was to get publicity for the cause. They
even arranged for a press photographer to be on the spot and take a photo of them leaving the
gallery. As a result of their ingenious scheme, the photo and the news of the robbery appeared
in newspapers the following day. 2.3. _____ The entire plan proved effective. Three years later,
an agreement was reached between Ireland and the UK that the collection would be shared
between the two countries, and in 1999, over 30 paintings returned to Dublin for good.
The theft of the painting from the Tate Gallery was worrying for art lovers because it showed
that there was a complete lack of security in a place where many masterpieces were kept.
2.4. _____ Fortunately, this did not happen.

in vain – na próżno

A. To make the authorities start negotiations, after a few days Summer’s Day was anonymously
delivered to the Irish embassy.
B. The British were also concerned that the publicity given to the case would lead to
the students being perceived as heroes fighting for the Irish cause, which could strain
British–Irish relations.
C. The ease with which the culprits committed this deed is still shocking. The thieves were
Paul Hogan, who was studying at the Dublin College of Art, and Bill Fogarty, a veterinary
student.
D. It proves that the caretaker on duty could have prevented the robbery, but he was outsmarted.
E. In the following decades, the Irish arts community and government made numerous
attempts to claim the paintings back.

A TEMPTING OFFER
In March of 1995, I received a call from Mark Bryant, the editor of Outside. He proposed that
I join a guided Everest expedition scheduled to depart soon and write an article about the
growing commercialization of the mountain. The magazine’s idea was that I remain in Base
Camp and report the story from the glacier at the foot of the Tibetan side of the mountain. Mark
insisted that I make the decision at once, so I said “yes” and went as far as to book a flight and
get the required immunizations. But then, after I’d thought it through, I backed out at the last
minute. Given the aversion to Everest I’d expressed over the years, one might assume that I
declined to go on principle, but I did it for a different reason. As a child, I often imagined myself
conquering the mountain, so the call from Outside had unexpectedly aroused a powerful, long-
buried desire. I realized it would be unbearably frustrating to spend two months in the shadow
of Everest without climbing higher than Base Camp. If I were going to travel to the far side of
the globe, I wanted an opportunity to climb the mountain.
A few days later, I thought of a possible alternative. I contacted the editor and asked if he would
consider postponing the assignment for a year and changing it so that I got the chance to reach
the top of the mountain. The immunizations would still be valid and a twelve-month delay
would give me time to train intensively to meet the physical demands of the expedition. The
biggest question was if the magazine would be willing to book me with one of the more
reputable guide services and cover the $65,000 fee. I’d written more than sixty pieces for
Outside over the previous fifteen years, but the travel budget for these assignments had never
exceeded two or three thousand dollars.
Bryant called back a day later. He said that the magazine didn’t usually spend such high sums
on any expedition, but he thought the story about the commercialization of Everest was worth
it, and if I was serious about trying to climb to the top, Outside would figure out a way to make
it happen.

3.1. The author rejected the magazine’s original offer because of
A. the limited time to book an appropriate flight.
B. his greater ambitions concerning Everest.
C. his negative attitude to Everest.

3.2. The author realized the alternative assignment would mean
A. improving his fitness.
B. repeating the immunizations.
C. looking for other sponsors.

3.3. In the text, the author
A. describes how he found a way to make his dream come true.
B. explains how he was tricked into joining a climbing expedition.
C. presents the challenges of reaching Everest Base Camp.

TREE CLIMBING
It had been nearly 40 years since I climbed a tree, and to be honest it was not something
I’d expected to do again. But earlier this summer, I found myself on the Isle of Wight, putting
on a safety helmet and harness1 and preparing to climb a 70ft oak tree, using only ropes and my
own strength.
For grown-ups, tree climbing is not only a chance to relive childhood adventures, it can also
give your brain a big boost. Research published at the University of North Florida revealed that
tree climbing can benefit our working memory. This is the part of our memory we rely on to
follow instructions or directions and to remember phone numbers or items on a shopping list.
The researchers discovered that when you climb a tree, your brain is constantly calculating and
evaluating your balance and orientation. In fact, after such a challenging physical activity, your
brain becomes extremely alert2 and ready for mental tasks.
With this information firmly in mind, my wife and I, along with our sons, decided to see whether
tree climbing would work that well in our case. We headed to the Isle of Wight, where Paul
McCathie runs a tree climbing business. Here anyone over the age of eight can learn to climb
safely.
Before we started, any fears we had about tree climbing were calmly talked through by Paul.
He had us trained before we set off and managed to pacify3 all our worries. Think the rope’s
going to break, for instance? Don’t worry. Each one could bear two tons. Paul explained we
would be secured to the rope via a carabiner, a metal loop attached to a waist harness.
Surprisingly, I felt totally secure in the harness. He also assured us that we could come down at
any time.
When our two hours were up, we were exhausted but excited. When we started climbing, I had
the sensation of everything spinning around, but in the end I was surprised to find the experience
really calming. We all agreed it was one of the most challenging and thrilling family activities
we had done together.
Did it work? I did my weekly supermarket shopping that evening and I didn’t forget any of the
items I was supposed to buy. It’s not proof but the scientists might be right.

1
harness – a piece of safety equipment
2
alert – quick to see or understand
3
pacify – calm down

3.4. The main reason for the author’s visit to the Isle of Wight was to
A. overcome his fear of heights.

A TEMPTING OFFER
In March of 1995, I received a call from Mark Bryant, the editor of Outside. He proposed that
I join a guided Everest expedition scheduled to depart soon and write an article about the
growing commercialization of the mountain. The magazine’s idea was that I remain in Base
Camp and report the story from the glacier at the foot of the Tibetan side of the mountain. Mark
insisted that I make the decision at once, so I said “yes” and went as far as to book a flight and
get the required immunizations. But then, after I’d thought it through, I backed out at the last
minute. Given the aversion to Everest I’d expressed over the years, one might assume that I
declined to go on principle, but I did it for a different reason. As a child, I often imagined myself
conquering the mountain, so the call from Outside had unexpectedly aroused a powerful, long-
buried desire. I realized it would be unbearably frustrating to spend two months in the shadow
of Everest without climbing higher than Base Camp. If I were going to travel to the far side of
the globe, I wanted an opportunity to climb the mountain.
A few days later, I thought of a possible alternative. I contacted the editor and asked if he would
consider postponing the assignment for a year and changing it so that I got the chance to reach
the top of the mountain. The immunizations would still be valid and a twelve-month delay
would give me time to train intensively to meet the physical demands of the expedition. The
biggest question was if the magazine would be willing to book me with one of the more
reputable guide services and cover the $65,000 fee. I’d written more than sixty pieces for
Outside over the previous fifteen years, but the travel budget for these assignments had never
exceeded two or three thousand dollars.
Bryant called back a day later. He said that the magazine didn’t usually spend such high sums
on any expedition, but he thought the story about the commercialization of Everest was worth
it, and if I was serious about trying to climb to the top, Outside would figure out a way to make
it happen.

TREE CLIMBING
It had been nearly 40 years since I climbed a tree, and to be honest it was not something
I’d expected to do again. But earlier this summer, I found myself on the Isle of Wight, putting
on a safety helmet and harness1 and preparing to climb a 70ft oak tree, using only ropes and my
own strength.
For grown-ups, tree climbing is not only a chance to relive childhood adventures, it can also
give your brain a big boost. Research published at the University of North Florida revealed that
tree climbing can benefit our working memory. This is the part of our memory we rely on to
follow instructions or directions and to remember phone numbers or items on a shopping list.
The researchers discovered that when you climb a tree, your brain is constantly calculating and
evaluating your balance and orientation. In fact, after such a challenging physical activity, your
brain becomes extremely alert2 and ready for mental tasks.
With this information firmly in mind, my wife and I, along with our sons, decided to see whether
tree climbing would work that well in our case. We headed to the Isle of Wight, where Paul
McCathie runs a tree climbing business. Here anyone over the age of eight can learn to climb
safely.
Before we started, any fears we had about tree climbing were calmly talked through by Paul.
He had us trained before we set off and managed to pacify3 all our worries. Think the rope’s
going to break, for instance? Don’t worry. Each one could bear two tons. Paul explained we
would be secured to the rope via a carabiner, a metal loop attached to a waist harness.
Surprisingly, I felt totally secure in the harness. He also assured us that we could come down at
any time.
When our two hours were up, we were exhausted but excited. When we started climbing, I had
the sensation of everything spinning around, but in the end I was surprised to find the experience
really calming. We all agreed it was one of the most challenging and thrilling family activities
we had done together.
Did it work? I did my weekly supermarket shopping that evening and I didn’t forget any of the
items I was supposed to buy. It’s not proof but the scientists might be right.

1
harness – a piece of safety equipment
2
alert – quick to see or understand
3
pacify – calm down
