* Przykładowy tekst (Kołodziejska E. i A. Mikorzyńska. 2005. Tests In English.
Wydawnictwa Szkolne i Pedagogiczne):
It is thought that 2OO years ago in Australia there were as many languages as there were
tribes -which means about 5OO-6OO! Linguists have not found any other language in the
world related to those of the Australian tribes. However, after years of study they were able to
establish that the grammar of the old Australian languages was very complicated, comparable
to those of ancient Greek or Latin.
Aborigines, the natives of Australia, did not wear any clothes and also slept naked. This was
extremely interesting for white ethnographers, who wanted to discover why the aborigines did
not suffer from cold and did not get ill. After various medical examinations it turned out that
the aborigines had developed an extraordinary blood circulation system. The blood which
reached the heart was warm, but the blood flowing through the limbs could be cooled down to
12 degrees Centigrade without any bad consequences for the individual. The arms and legs of
the natives might seem ice-cold, but it was enough for the aborigines to do some exercises in
the morning to speed up blood circulation and the whole organism worked as normal.
In certain regions of Australia native girls had one of their front teeth pulled out, as a girl
without her front tooth was considered much more attractive. In some tribes, when a girl
reached a certain age, she had the small finger of her left hand cut off. It was not only a
tradition rooted deep in the past, connected with some long-forgotten religious rite. It was also
a duty.
