A set of five practice tests for the Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English exam, revised to take account of the requirements from December 1999. The authors' close involvement in the CAE enables students to practice exam questions which genuinely replicate the real test papers. Each reading text is taken from a different source, giving students experience in coping with a wide variety of authentic material. Photocopiable answer sheets give students the opportunity to practise transferring their answers from the test paper, reducing the risk of making mistakes under pressure. Teachers and students can also learn about the marking scheme in the With Answers edition through detailed notes and real examples of students' compositions.

The police at the 87th Precinct hate kidnappers. And these kidnappers are stupid, too. They took the wrong boy - the chauffeur's son instead of the son of the rich tycoon, Douglas King. And they want a ransom of $500,000. A lot of money. But it's not too much to pay for a little boy's life, is it?

Patrick Aldermann, an accountant with a company that makes toilets, is passionate about his roses, which he prunes ruthlessly, 'deadheading' any blossoms a minute past their prime so as to make space for the younger blooms. Not much of a gardener, Dalziel views Patrick as a strong contender for the title of Most Boring Man in Yorkshire. Pascoe, though, has noticed that senior executives at the toilet company 'gentlemen, you might say, just a minute past their prime' have an unlucky habit of dying. And when they do, it's all but inevitably Patrick who, like a lucky young bloom, is poised to take their place.

Sinds drie dagen immobiliseert de sneeuwstorm de grote Amerikaanse stad en dreigt het immense, ultramoderne vliegveld te verlammen, dat al niet meer toereikend is voor het verkeer. De directeur, Mel Bakersfeld, vreest een ramp en vraagt tevergeefs om hulp: geen budget, "los het zelf op", wat hij doet, gesteund door sommigen en gehinderd door anderen. Hij kan rekenen op een kleurrijke teamleider, een ware kracht van de natuur, en op een vrouw wiens diepe betrokkenheid en scherpe intelligentie hem van onschatbare waarde zijn. Hij moet op zijn hoede zijn voor een piloot die hem niet mag en zich zorgen maken om zijn broer, een traumatische radarcontroller die ooit een luchtbotsing heeft veroorzaakt. Daarnaast moet hij het opnemen tegen de agressieve advocaat van de bewoners die gefrustreerd zijn door het lawaai van de vliegtuigen. En moet hij ook vrezen voor een kleine, vreemde man met een aktetas die aan boord gaat van een langeafstandsvlucht? Een suspense in de stijl van Hitchcock, met tragische en ontroerende situaties, allemaal in de ruimte van één enkele nacht... Achtergrond van deze meeslepende roman is het vliegveld, een monsterlijk organisme met een eigen leven en geheimen.

When James and Matthew spent the weekend with Henry Tillotson in 1954, they took an instant liking to the country house that Henry had inherited from his father. His wife was a bit odd though - she never seemed to get out of bed. Gossip suggested that Henry had inherited her as well.

In 1944 Henry Tillotson brings his new wife, Mararet, home to his farmhouse in the English countryside. Margaret is a strange, unpleasant woman, determined, it seems, to make Henry's life miserable. 'Poor Henry!' say his friends, as they visit at weekends and holidays. 'What an awful life he has!' But Henry is not at all the sad and disappointed man we might expect him to be. He manages to enjoy life, and indeed, has quite a lot of fun, one way and another ... Mary Wesley's story takes a sharp but light-hearted look at love, sex, and marriage - and the things people will do to get what they want
