Don't worry-the guns are not real (they fire plastic balls filled with paint)and it's all for fun.But isn't it dangerous to fight aggression with aggression?Is a game of paintball really the best way to bring young people together?Steve Mayes,the organizer of the event, feels that it is.He thinks these controversial games give the two groups something to do and can start them talking.'It gets rid of a lot of energy too-it's much better than playing games on Playstations and Xboxes,'he says.Meanwhile,the Chavs and Goths are fooling around: there's a lot of shouting and laughter and everyone appears to be having fun. At the end of the day Steve Mayes believes the event was a success-the two groups are already talking to each other.'It's like football,'says Denise,another organizer.You choose which team you belong to.But at the end of the day,Chavs and Goths are the same sort of people.’ Are the statements true (T)or false (F)? 16.The scenes that are described in the first paragraph don't happen very often. 17.The shoppers in Peterborough are afraid to look at the young people in the square. 18.The police don't think the young people are dangerous. 19.Peterborough isn't the only place where you can find such problems. 20.Only boys are taking part in the council's events.

Presenter: [American accentJ So... what did happen to Amelia Earhart on her last flíght? With me in the studio I'm joined by Bruce Holtz , who has been studying the story for many years. Bruce , can you tell us some of the theories about Amelia' s tragic accident? Bruce: [West Coast US accentJ Well , according to some theories Amelia di 't actually díe. For many years some people belíeved that she survived and then worked for the J apanese duríng the war. Presenter: The Japanese? You have to remember that Japan was Ameríca's bíg ene 1522
Bruce:Yes,that's right.The story is that during the Second World War,the Japanese broadcast anti-US propaganda on the radio to America.This was read by someone who called herself Tokyo Rose,an American woman living in Japan.Some people thought that perhaps Tokyo Rose was Amelia Earhart.However,Amelia's husband listened to dozens of tapes of the broadcasts but he couldn't identify his wife's voice.So the theory seems unlikely. Presenter:Mmm.What other theories are there? Bruce:Well,another theory was that Amelia was actually a US spy and that she was caught and killed by the Japanese.In 1937 a 15-year-old boy said he heard Amelia Earhart on. his radio on 2 July,the day she disappeared.He said that he heard a scream and the woman said Japanese soldiers had entered the plane. Presenter:Well,that sounds quite convincing,doesn't it? Bruce:Er,yes and no.You have to remember that Americans were very worried about Japan back then.Any information from the Pacific region about what the Japanese were doing was very useful.Amelia could have tried to get information-like taking photos.But if she was a spy,there would definitely be files and documents about this in the FBI and government records.The problem is that many researchers spent a long time searching these records in the 1990s and they didn't find any information at all about Amelia being a spy. Presenter:Which theories are more likely then? Bruce:Well,probably the simplest explanation is that Amelia simply ran out of gas and crashed into the ocean.In fact,Amelia did definitely mention that she was starting to run out of gas in her last radio message.But there was no sign of panic and we have since calculated that she must have had enough fuel for at least four more hours when she disappeared.So,it's an easy explanation but it's also easy to prove that it's not true. Perhaps the most intriguing story comes from the island of Nikumaroro in the Pacific.Years after Amelia's disappearance,some researchers on the island noticed that the islanders were using metal plates.The metal looked like it could have come from an aeroplane. Presenter:So you're saying that Amelia tried to land her plane on another island.This Niko,er... Bruce:Nikumaroro,yes.Perhaps they decided to land there because they knew the fuel would run out. Presenter:Or perhaps they had made a mistake-they thought they had reached their destination-Howland Island.But it was the wrong island. 1523
