It is (2) to be an unknown pre-historic creature, very similar to other supposed monsters in Scotland and diff erent parts of the world. The (3) Loch Ness monster is said to represent the plesiosaur, a marine reptile that can be (4) all the way back to the fi rst century A.D. and has been in existence for more than 1,500 years. In 1933, a local Scottish newspaper, the Inverness Courier, ran an article with an eye-witness account of a couple (5) had seen a big “monster” in Loch Ness. Then in 1934 the story and interest in this ‘monster’ animal’s existence was (6) to the world’s attention by Colonel Robert Wilson, a doctor, who claimed to have (7) the creature.

Choose from the sentences A to H the one which fi ts each gap (1 to 6). There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use. HONEY FOR HEALTH Honey is often sold as a healthy alternative to regular sugar, which has numerous negative eff ects on one’s health. (1) Bees store the honey in wax structures called honeycombs. The market is fl ooded with many varieties of honey, based on the plant source, the extraction method and whether it is raw or pasteurised. (2) There are more than 300 types of honey that exist today with each one boasting of health and nutritional benefi ts. Clover honey, like many of the other types of honey, is popular. It has strong antioxidant properties and is originally from New Zealand like the famous Manuka honey. (3) Honey bees collect nectar from the wild Manuka bushes in New Zealand and convert the nectar into the delicious, dark-coloured Manuka honey. (4) The native Maori have used its honey and the oils from its fl owers for medicinal purposes for centuries. (5) It is four times more antibacterial than standard antiseptic. It can be used to clean wounds, heal stomach ulcers and treat eczema, acne and insect stings. Manuka honey can also be consumed for general good health and daily enjoyment as food, for example on bread or added to your drinks. Only ‘active’ Manuka honey is antibacterial which is very expensive in its pure form. (6) Due to the high demand manufactures sometimes mix it with other common types of honey to produce cheaper, mass market versions.

G Manuka honey is one of the most popular of all the honeys in the world today. H Manuka honey, discovered by the Maori tribes in New Zealand, is very expensive.
