questions 1 – 4 given below.

THE MAN WHO WANTED TO SEE IT ALL

Heinz Stucke is the most extraordinary man. For the past 16 years he has been cycling round the world, not to get mentioned in The Guinness Book of Records, but simply to see the world.

So far he has seen 105 countries and pedalled 95,000 miles. In Brazil, he met Pele. In Iran, he got typhoid. He has been robbed and knocked down by cars. Sometimes he has been driven mad by questions from curious onlookers, at other times driven deep into depression by loneliness.

He has emerged from it all with remarkable sanity. Last month he was in London, living in a hotel and planning to cover the parts of the world he has not seen yet: Scotland, Ireland, Iceland and a trans-Sahara crossing to West Africa.

Stucke was born and brought up in a small town in eastern Westphalia, the son of a carpenter. At school he read an inspiring volume called A German Cyclist Around the World. At 18, he cycled around Europe. At 20, he struck East overland to Ceylon, by ship to the eastern terminus of the Trans-Siberian railway and then back by train and bicycle to Germany, to settle for two years as apprentice toolmaker.

Stucke has seen the world change and shrink. Today you’re regarded as just another hippie on a bicycle. Jumbo jets and mass tourism are to blame. “at one time I’d cycle into some remote village and be greeted as a messenger of goodwill. The people would give me food, and they’d be curious and talk.

Stucke once wanted to settle down as a tour operator, now he is unsure. After 16 years on the road, on the bicycle much repaired and reinforced, he is a sore of practical knowledge and advice. Japan is the best place for a traveler to find a friendly woman, Europe is the worst. If you have to deal with the military, deal with officers, policemen are much the same in all ranks.

1. Which of the ‘adventures’ of Hienz Stucke was not mentioned in this text?

1. a meeting with Pele

2. according to Stucke, the world has changed because of

2. mass tourism

3. messengers of good will

3. according to the text, Stucke now

1. wants to settle down

2. has a new bicycle

3. knows a lot about the world

4. is sure to become a tour operator

4. Which of the following is contrary to the text?

1. the most friendly women live in Japan

2. the behavior of a policeman depends on his rank

3. common soldiers are more ignorant than officers

4. in Europe a man on a bicycle looks like an ordinary poor man
