Exercise 1. Listen to the text and fill the gaps [Part III, p. 173], [4].
Russian
scientists _____________________ plant from cell tissue that had been
frozen for 30,000 years. The research team from Russia’s Institute
of Cell Biophysics team _____________________ from tissue found in
the Siberian permafrost. It was a pioneering project that
_____________________ other plant species to be revived. The plant
the scientists brought back to life is called the Silene stenophylla.
It is the oldest plant ever to be regenerated, _____________________
record for date palm seeds that were stored for 2,000 years in
Israel. The plant had been _____________________ squirrels during
their hibernation 30 millennia ago, during the age of woolly
mammoths. It ______________________.
The scientists believe that the regeneration of the Silene stenophylla plant means the permafrost is _____________________ ancient life forms, many of which could be recreated. Lead researcher Svetlana Yashina said: “We _____________________ to continue permafrost studies in search of an _____________________, that of pre-existing life, which hypothetically has long since vanished from _____________________.” Dr Robin Probert, head of conservation and technology at the UK's Millennium Seed Bank, said: “There is _____________________ resurrect flowering plants that have gone extinct _____________________ we talk about bringing mammoths back to life, the Jurassic Park kind of idea.”
Exercise 2. Answer the questions
What springs to mind when you hear the word ‘frozen’?
Why was the project so pioneering?
What are the benefits of regenerating extinct plant or animal species?
What other species do you think should be regenerated? Why?
E xercise 3. Discuss the followings:
Could bringing extinct life forms back be bad for the Earth?
Do you think it’s a good idea to regrow ancient plants?
Would you like to work on this project?
Exercise 4. Prepare speech on theme: “The most important thing that must be researched is…”
E xercise 5. Look in your dictionary / computer to find collocates, other meanings, information, synonyms … for the words ‘cell’ and ‘tissue’. Share your findings with your partners.

tissue |
Exercise 6. Make up questions using the words you found. Ask your partner / group your questions.
G RAMMAR COMMENT
Compound nouns
Words can be combined to form compound nouns. These are very common, and new combinations are invented almost daily. They normally have two parts. The second part identifies the object or person in question (man, friend, tank, table, room). The first part tells us what kind of object or person it is, or what its purpose is (police, boy, water, dining, bed): What type / what purpose What or who |
police man boy friend water tank dining table bed room
|
The two parts may be written in a number of ways
1. as one word. Example: policeman, boyfriend
|
2. as two words joined with a hyphen. Example: dining-table
|
3. as two separate words. Example: fish tank.
|
There are no clear rules about this - so write the common compounds that you know well as one word, and the others as two words.

You need to construct compound nouns from these words in the box below.
