Unusual women of the past

You may think that no women went to sea or joined the army until the twentieth century,
but this is not true. Although they usually had to pretend to be men, there are a few true
stories of woman who fought for both good reasons and bad ones.

One English woman soldier in the seventeenth century was Christian Walsh, the wife of a
man who was made to join the army, although he did not want to be a soldier. Christian
refused to accept the situation, unlike most women in those days. She cut off her hair,
dressed as a man and joined the army, calling herself Kit Cavanagh, in order to look for her
husband. It was thirteen years before she found him and during that time she fought in
several different countries. She was only discovered to be a woman when doctors were
operating on her for an injury she had received while fighting.

A rather different example, from around the same time, is Anne Bonney. It is not certain
why she left Ireland, where she was born, and went to the islands which are now called the
Bahamas. However, we know that when she got there, she fell in love with a sailor called
John Rackham. She worked with John to steal a ship from the local port. They obviously
chose the ship carefully, because it was the fastest one in the port at the time. For the next
ten years they sailed round the Caribbean, attacking other ships and stealing everything
valuable from them, as well as taking sailors to help on their own ship.

One day, Anne was surprised to discover that a boy they had taken off another ship in this
way was really a young woman. She told Anne her name was Mary Read. She said she had
dressed like a man to increase her opportunities, because in those days of course most
women were expected to stay at home. Earlier, Mary had fought in the army, but had
stopped pretending to be a man for a short time when she married a soldier who had realized
that she was a woman. Unfortunately her husband died, and so Mary started to dress as a
man once again and became a sailor.

Anne and Mary continued their criminal career with John Rackham, but in the end their ship
was caught by the navy. The two women went on fighting even after all the men were
taking prisoner, but they avoided punishment and disappeared. Nobody knows what
happened to them after that. Perhaps they pretended to be men and joined another ship, or
maybe they got married.

 PART 3
The are five questions in this part. Read the text and questions below. For each question,
click on the correct letter A, B, C or D for your answer.
WINTER DRIVING
Winter is dangerous because it’s so difficult to know what is going to happen and accidents
take place so easily. Fog can be waiting to meet you over the top of a hill. Ice might be
hiding beneath the melting snow, waiting to send you off the road. The car coming towards
you may suddenly slide across the road.
Rule Number One for driving on icy roads is to drive smoothly. Uneven movements can
make a car suddenly very difficult to control. So every time you either turn the wheel, touch
the brakes or increase your speed, you must be as gentle and slow as possible. Imagine you
are driving with a full cup of hot coffee on the seat next to you. Drive so that you wouldn’t
spill it.
Rule Number Two is to pay attention to what might happen. The more ice there is, the
further down the road you have to look. Test how long it takes to stop by gently braking.
Remember that you may be driving more quickly than you think. In general, allow double
your normal stopping distance when the road is wet, three times this distance on snow, and
even more on ice. Try to stay in control of your car at all times and you will avoid trouble.

A. complain about bad winter driving

A. to find out about the weather
B. for information on driving lessons

3. What does the writer think?
A. People should avoid driving in the snow.
B. Drivers should expect problems in winter.
C. People drive too fast in winter.
D. Winter drivers should use their brakes less.
4. Why does the writer talk about a cup of coffee?
A. to explain the importance of smooth movements
B. because he thinks refreshments are important for drivers
C. because he wants drivers to be more relaxed
