JENNY EVANS, THE ANIMAL WOMAN

Jenny Evans has worked with animals all her life She started collecting srnall animals as pets while she was still at primary school When she was 15, her local youth club invited her to

bring a selection of thern along to a meeting and tell mernbers about them, in return lbr a small

fee After the success of the firsttalk, Jenny found herself in demand frorn othcr organizations The money that she earned went towards food and other supplies for her animals.

Page 4 of9

Jcnny lell schooi at i6 to stuily at drama college, but continued to present her anirnal tall<s at u,eekends to help pay for her studies I-Iaving completed the course, Jenny got a job at a

ohilclrer-i's holid;iy camp, whcre she had to entertain children for 12 hours a day, six days a week'

By the end ol'the six month sulnrner season, Jenny was an experienced performer and had

developed a wide range of acts tirat involved magic, jokes, singing and dancing Jenny included these in her anitnal talks which she continued to give whenever she was free.

It was while Jenny was presenting one of these talks that she was approached by a

prodltcer to be a guest on a children's television programme On the strength of this one

upp.oru,lre, .lenny was offered her own daily anirnal show, called "Parils", which she wrote and

preseflted.

Jenny main airn had always been to inform and educate her audience After two years of

presenting "Paws", Jenny made the decision to give up her screen career in order to concentrate

on colnllunicating her knowledge and love of animals to children in a different way She started

offering lectures to schools, based on the national science curriculum Using her own animals, she shows her audience a wide range of creatures, frorn insects and water creatures like frogs, to

birds and mammals such as mice By watching and handling the animals, the children and their

teachers are able to understand how they have developed and how they behave These lectures have becolre so popular that Jenny now employs David, a former zookeeper and expert in

animal care, as a second lecturer Between them they lecture in schools across the whole of

souttrrern England

Meanwhile, as well as a large aviar! where the birds can fly around, Jenny's mini-zoo at

her home contains all the animals she uses in her talks, including several rare types of animals

At the rnoment, her favorites are solne young meerkats frorn Southem Africa, which she is

feeding and bringing up by hand No doubt they will appear in one of her talks very soon.

I'}ART 3: You arc going to rcad a short text about Tokyo Read the tcxt, then choose A, B,

C or D for cactr of the qucstions 21-26

TOKYO 'l'okyo is Japan's largest city and its capital When people talk about Tokyo, they may be

refering to 'I-okyo Metropolis, whicl'r has a population of about 12.5 million This includes the 23 city wards formerly known as Tokyo City (with a population of about 8.5 million), some small

islands and the Tama area, which is made tp of 26 cities, 3 towns and a village Tokyo is one of Japan's 47 local government areas or prefectures, but it is called a metropolis rather than a

13. Jennv's iob at the holidav caffrp last'ed less than a year.

14 Jennv used the performance skills she learned at the holiday camp.

15. Jennv contacted a television producer with an idea for a show.

L6. Jenny spent a couple of years working on'Paws'

17 Jenny stopped appearing on television in order to develop an educational

proiect

18. At each lecture, Jenny concentrates on one particular group ql4t1qell

19. feachers and pupils alike are allowed to pick up Jenny's animals during the

lectures

20 Jenny's collection is lirnited to animals that are common around the world

prefecture because it is the most densely populated part of Japan Alternatively, they rnight r

ih" M"t.opolis and three adiacent prefectures The population of this t'egion is well over

million Tokyo is situated on the largest Japanese island, I-Ionshu.

Tokyo was once a small castle town called Edo At that titne, Japan's capital city, wher

the Emperor of Japan lived, was Kyoto In 1868 the emperor rnoved to Edo, which was reflorl]e'

Tokyo and became the new capital city The city grew in size as well as importance, bu sufferred terrible damage during the Great Kanto Earthquake of L923, in whibh about 142,00 people lost their lives -Later,

in t9+S, wartime bombing raids destroyed much of the city O

to*h o""usions, however, it rose like a phoenix from the ashes In 1964, the city displayed itseJ

to the world when it hosted the 1964 summer Olympic Gatnes.

Today Tokyo is a modern city with a great many skycrapers, including thc'fokyo Dour

Hotel which has +: floors It also has a big business centre, Maruuouch, where all the rnajc

companies in Japan have their headquarters This district is a world leader in finance an

business, as Japin has cutting-edge eiectronics industries and a strong ecorlollly You rrigl

think that, due to this focus on business, a tourist in Tokyo wouldn't find rnuch of interest but, z

with London, this would be untrue.

Visitors should definitely go to the Tokyo National Museum, which specialises in Japa

Art, the National Museum of Western Art, the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum (Which hz

,roi than 10,000 fi1ns, both Japanese and foreign) and the National Museum of Science, z

well as the city's zoo All of them can be found in Ueno Park As Tolcyo is the national centl

for the perfonning arts, you also have the chance to take in a show of traditional Japanese drar

such as noh or kabuki

If you happen to be in Tokyo on the last Saturday in May, you'11 be able to see the annu

fireworks display over the Sumia River In springtime you can picnic in the city's parks ar

gardens undei the blossoming cherry tr.ees But, if you prefer to 'shop till you drop', you can c

Teenag"rs go to this niighbourhood dressed in costumes to look like their davourite anin

Although Tokyo is very much part of the twenty-first century, yoy c1n still enjoy tl
