Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wilde died as a poor man in France in 1900 and his friends could afford only a simple grave for him outside Paris. But in 1912, Wilde’s remains*  were moved to the most famous cemetery in Paris. His new grave, with a statue of an angel, was created by American sculptor Jacob Epstein in 1914. It soon became a magnet for tourists who started to cover the stone with lipstick kisses. Unfortunately, the lipstick sank into the stone and every time it was cleaned, the grave was damaged even more. So, a year ago, French conservationists decided to clean it and keep it safe behind a glass panel. The restored grave was presented on the date of the anniversary of Wilde’s death.

Silent Night
The world’s most famous Christmas song, Silent Night, was born almost 200 years ago in an Austrian village near Salzburg. It came into existence by chance. Mice chewed through the bellowsl of Franz Xaver Gruber’s organ2 right before Christmas Eve and the
instrument stopped working. Nobody could imagine a midnight service3 without music. Fortunately, the priest Joseph Mohr had written a little poem celebrating the beauty of Christmas night. When Franz Gruber composed a simple melody to the poem, which could be played on a guitar, the service on 24 December 1818 was saved. The men, who named the song Stille Nacht, had no idea that they had created a legend.

House Burglary
When Pal Nagy decided to rob a house in Budapest, he didn’t know it was the house of an Olympic fencing’ champion, Virgine Ujlaky.The sportswoman was busy practising for a tournament when she saw someone trying to get in through the window of her bedroom. It took her just a few seconds to push the burglar against the wall with the sword on his throat. Virgine didn’t hurt him but quickly called the police who arrested the man. But before that, the policemen had to send for a doctor to treat the burglar, who was in terrible shock. Ujlaky said:”I wasn’t scared at all. It was good practice as I have a competition this week:”

26 According to the text, which statement about Pal Nagy is true?

The French Resistance’ against the Nazi occupation of France is usually associated with heroic acts such as damaging bridges or trains. But in a town near Paris, two artists, the Mauméjean brothers, decided to protest against the occupation in their own quiet way. Historians have recently discovered a coloured glass church window created by the brothers. It shows Adolf Hitler in the act of murdering St. James. St. James was one ofJesus’12 apostles and in the artwork he symbolises all Jewish people. Although Hitler’s hairstyle can be recognised in the portrait, his moustache was hidden behind his arm to avoid any trouble. Still, the work was a brave act of artistic and religious resistance and solidarity by the non-Jewish French.

Black Box Flight Recorders
The “black box” is, in fact, painted orange to be found easily after a plane crash. The device is the work of an Australian, Dave Warren, who believed that it could solve the mysteries of plane accidents. In 1953, he invented an instrument that recorded flight data and voices from the cockpit’. His idea was simple – if the “black box” could stay in one plece after a crash, experts could replay the final moments of the flight, find out what happened and help to prevent future catastrophes. Warren’s motivation was a family tragedy. In 1934, his father died in an air disaster over the Tasman Sea. The first “black boxes”were built in the UK, but the idea was born in Australia.

The Miami Book Fair is organised by the Florida Center of the Literary Arts and it takes place at Miami Dade College. For eight days every November, downtown Miami becomes the centre of the literary world
when the Miami Book Fair welcomes thousands of book lovers who attend readings and discussions, including prize-winning, best-selling and new authors from around the world.

The 2013 Miami Book Fair runs from November 17″ to November 24th

Mission & History The main purpose of Miami Book Fair International is to support reading and writing, and to increase awareness of the literary arts in our multi-ethnic world. In 1984, the book fair was only a two-day street fair. Since then, the fair has become one of the largest and best book fairs in America. Today, the Miami Book Fair is an international event that includes a Sunday-to-Sunday schedule of exciting programmes, readings and special activities.

Programmes  Festival of Authors – The festival, presenting readings and discussions with authors, is the main attraction of the Miami Book Fair. Previous years’ guests have included prize-winning authors such as recipients of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. Along with many American voices, there will also be many international voices.

Street Fair – Another attraction of the Miami Book Fair is the Street Fair. More than 250 publishers and booksellers exhibit and sell the latest books in a festive atmosphere. Visitors can also enjoy live concerts on the central stage. The Street Fair takes place from Friday, November 22nd to Sunday, November 24th and requires an $8 admission fee for adults over 18. Kids under 18 get in free, and senior fair-goers pay $5 for the Street Fair.

Alley of Wonders – Activities for kids include book-inspired theatre and arts-and-crafts workshops, storytelling and readings by children’s book authors from around the world.

Collectors’ Treasures – Displays of rare books, signed first editions and original manuscripts from the 17th and 18th centuries. The fair includes evening creative-writing lectures beginning on Sunday, November 17th and finishing on Friday, November 22nd. They are led by prominent writers who want to inspire and support beginning authors. The lectures are free but you have to book a seat in advance. Visitors must be in their seats at least 10 minutes before the sessions begin, or they will risk losing their seats.

Guest Authors’ Session Tickets to the Guest Authors’ Session cost $6 for all age groups. There is a limit of 2 tickets per person, per session.

Mistake Out
Bette Nesmith Graham never wanted to be an inventor – she was much more interested in art and dreamt of a painting career. However, in 1945, when World War II ended, she divorced her husband and found out she didn’t have enough money in her bank account for herself and her small son. She decided to learn to type and only a few months after the war, she started to work as a secretary in a Texas office.

In the 1950s, electric typewriters were becoming more and more popular but in learning to use them, Bette and other secretaries often made mistakes. Of course they hated re-typing whole pages just because of one single error! So Bette started to look for an elegant way to correct them. She remembered that artists painted over their mistakes on canvas’, so why couldn’t typists paint over their mistakes?

So, with this idea in mind, Bette mixed some white tempera paint with water, put the mixture in a bottle and took it – together with a tiny paintbrush – to her office. One brushstroke2 over a mistake and… it worked! Soon Bette regularly used this liquid to correct her typing errors and her boss never noticed. One of her colleagues saw Bette correcting mistakes with this brilliant invention and asked for some of it. Mrs. Graham found a little bottle at home, put a “Mistake Out” label on it and gave it to her the next day. In a short time, all the secretaries in the office had Mistake Out for free and corrected their mistakes too.

In 1956 Bette started the Mistake Out Company from her Dallas home. She transformed her kitchen into a small laboratory where she mixed various paints and chemicals with her electric food mixer. All the time she was trying to improve her invention. Soon, the first customers appeared and Bette’s son Michael and his friends filled bottles for them in the garage. Although Mrs. Graham worked nights and weekends to meet the growing number of orders, she didn’t earn much money.

One day, Bette was tired and sent some letters to the wrong addresses by mistake. This brought problems to the office and her boss fired her. She lost her job but could now spend all her time selling Mistake Out. The production soon grew into a million-dollar business. Bette later re-named Mistake Out as Liquid Paper, patented the product and moved the company to her own factory. Although a rich woman now, she never forgot the hard time she had when she was out of work and without money for herself and Michael. That’s why she started two foundations  helping women find new ways to earn a living, especially in business and art.
