(PUC - RS -1999) TEXT Sylvia, a plump, pint-sized sexagenarian who 1may even be 2slightly septuagenarian, was indignant, Hay-on-Wye is a town, not a village!, she says. Sylvia claims to have a typical Welsh face. In other words, the features of a 3rather special ethnic group that looks upon the nearby English with scornful disdain. 4This town of 1,500 has acquired a unique status because of the 500,000 people who visit the place each year. 5Local tourist brochures say that Hay, located at the foot of the verdant Radnorshire Hills, is 6the northernmost point in Brecon Beacons National Park south of the Wye river and has the Black Mountains to 7its south and west. But 10neither the park nor the mountains are enough to explain why Hay attracts so many visitors. Even Golden Valley, which 8stretches eastward into English - in other words, foreign - territory is not sufficient. The exotic Welsh language - strings of consonants with an occasional stray vowel tossed in here and there - can also be 9ruled out. No, the real reason is that Hay has 31 bookstores for a population of 1,500. Thirty-two if you count the beekeepers shop located on the edge of town, where a hundred or so books on bees stand next to jars of honey. (Air France Magazine, March 99.)

(PUC Minas- 1999) Six months ago, when federal agents identified Eric Robert Rudolph as the man they believe responsible for the Jan. 29 bombing of an abortion clinic in Birmingham, Alabama, that killed an off-duty police officer and severely wounded a nurse, they were confident they would arrest the itinerant carpenter within a matter of days. But Rudolph, skilled at surviving in the wilderness, vanished in the mountainous woods of North Carolina. And despite being wanted for questioning in the Olympic bombing and two other Atlanta explosions, he is inexplicably becoming a local celebrity, an anti-hero evoking sympathy. On July 11, George Nordmann, 71, owner of a store in downtown Andrews, confessed that Rudolph had come to his house asking for food four days before. Nordmann, who had known Rudolph from years ago, told authorities that the suspects appearance had changed considerably: he had a beard and was dressed in a camouflage outfit and gloves, and had lost weight. Im starving to death, he said then. Nordmann told police Rudolph also tried to convince him he was innocent. Police believe Rudolph returned to Nordmanns house late that night and took 20 to 35kg of food, including canned green beans, beets, corn, tuna fish, raisins and a large bag of wheat bran. He carried it away in Nordmanns 1977 Nissan pickup truck, which the store owner discovered missing when he returned home. (From: Time, July 27, 1998 - abridged.) Rudolph was ____________ surviving in the wilderness.
